Help Please. Since I remarried I need to change my email address. How do I do that without deleting my iCloud account and starting over?
How do I change my email address? [email protected] ????
Thanks
Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please
First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab. Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours. Did you let someone else use your iPhone? -
I'm not receiving emails. Internet connection is fine. I was told by my provider that I need to reset my emails. How do I do that without losing all emails in my inbox?
Hi..
If you are using Mac Mail, from the Mail menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Take All Accounts Offline then click Take All Accounts Online.
You should not lose any unopened or saved mail. -

I need to change the email address in iCloud
I need to change the email address in iCloud
What do you mean? - the address you use for login or the @icloud.com email address created when you opened your iCloud account?
LOGIN
If your login is an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address you cannot change it. If it is a non-Apple email address you can change it, but please be careful to follow the procedure outlined here:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
EMAIL ADDRESS
Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

Updated my AppleID account info. Under password security shows an email address to be used to receive email with new password settings. I need to update that email address, how do I do that? Thanks!
Thanks for the help Niel. I couldn't change the rescue email address (an address that no longer exists and is therefore useless) until I could correctly answer the security questions. After numerous guesses, finally got them right. Was then presented with the option to change the rescue email address. Guess the only other option was to have Apple Support make the change or reset my account info. Have made note of the correct answers so this won't happen again. Thanks for the fast response!!

I entered my email in word with friends and it did not allow me to sign on. It said I needed to activate the email. How do I do that?

I need to change my email address. how do Ido this and keep everything?
I need to change my email address forsecurity reasons. Howdo I dothis without losiing everything from my old email address?
The assigned name is the same as the one you chose when originally setting up the account, just with the @icloud.com suffix. It is exactly the same email account, not a new one.
You cannot setup a new iCloud email account without setting up a new iCloud account under a different AppleID.
Alternatively, you can setup email aliases: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a -
I need to change my email address, is it possible?
I'm just getting way too much spam and I need to change my email address, preferably to one of my aliases, but I'll take anything. Anyone know how to do this?
ThanksJust hang on with the Junk training. It does not only look at the from: section.
Mark each new one as Junk and after a couple of days you should see it marks it by itself (although not 100%) and then set it to automatic.
Just deleting it will not help the Junk training. -

i buy a mac mini from amazon, and it is registered on another Apple ID, and i need to change it to mine, how can i do that, note that i can't contact the previous owner of this mac, what shall i do to set it under my Apple ID.
ThanksAs I said you need to:
You need to wipe the hard disk and reinstall the OS by booting into the recovery partition and reinstall the original OS via the internet. It will ask you to enter your ID

icloud still shows my old email address when I try to enter, asking me for a password I no longer have. I need to change my email address and password in ICLOUD but I can't find a way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks.
