How can you change your Apple ID to a new email address?

My old email was deleted and I used this as my Apple ID. I now have a new one and can't change my Apple ID on my phone and iPad, (Under 'icloud' in settings). However I have been able to change it in iTunes & App Store.
I also tried deleting the account and re doing it in my new one but it asks for the password due to find iPhone being on, and it won't do it. (I remember my old password)
Please help!
It's very frustrating and keeps wanting me to sign in.
Thanks

1) Did you change that old email address to your current email address to be your current Apple ID? If so, try to enter your current password for your current Apple ID/iCloud account. If it doesn't work, try #2.
2) If you don't have access to your old email account. Same process, go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes. DON'T sign out yet. Go back to your iOS device then delete your iCloud account. Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address. You have to verify it this time and you will be able to since you have access to that email address.
3) If your answer to #1 is NO, contact Apple Support (Account Security Team) to help you reset its password but you need to have another email address available which is not yet an Apple ID to send the password reset email.
Hope this helps! Cheers!

How can I change an Apple ID to an iCloud email?

I set up an apple ID years ago and have used it to buy a lot of stuff. I know you can't merge apple IDs, but it occurred to me that my current problem (having to do with getting family sharing set up) could be solved if I could CHANGE my old apple ID (currently just "smithjohn") to an iCloud email. Is that possible? I can't seem to do it using the manage my apple ID page. Thanks for any help.

It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (I realise it may be an example, not the real thing, but to be on the safe side I reported it. Your point is clear without it.)
You can't change your ID to your iCloud email address. What you can do is to change your ID to a non-Apple email address at http://appleid.apple.com - certainly your ID needs to take the form of an email address, the old non-address IDs aren't acceptable for some facilities.

If you are going to change your AppleID login you will need to log out and back in on all your devices. Turn off 'Find My iPhone/iMac/iPod' first or you will find yourself unable to sign out and be stuck.

I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
You should be able to change that address at My Apple ID

How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

Yes, you delete the account, then sign back in with a new ID to create their new account. With iOS 7 you will be prompted to provide your password in order to delete the account. Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from the device. If you plan to migrate a copy of the data to the new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing into the new account to upload the data.

How can I change the Apple Id in the icloud settings on my iphone 4?

How can I change the Apple Id in the icloud settings on my iphone 4?

The only way is to remove the account, then add it back in, using the AppleID you want to use. If this is a wholly different AppleID, then you will create a new iCloud account. If you just changed the email address at the appleid web management page, then it will be the same iCloud account.

How can i change my apple id to a e mail address that is an all ready verified

How do I change my e-mail address to a alternate e-mail address

You will need to remove it as the alternate email address first, which you might be able to do by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com - if the address is @me.com, @mac.com or @icloud.com address then you might not be able to remove it as an alternate address.
You can then try putting it as your primary email address, which you can do via the above site, by tapping on the id and logging into it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on your iPad, or by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes. If you don't do it directly on your iPad you might then need to log out of the old version of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in with the updated version so as to 'refresh' the account on it. And similarly Settings > iCloud > Sign Out and then back in if using the same account for icloud on it

HT5621 How can I change my Apple ID on the Icloud on my iphone? I changed it to a new address and the icloud wont let me update it on m phone and it is not registering my old address either because it no longer exists. please help!

It continues to ask me for my password for the old address nd when i enter it or have tried to change it, it does not recognise that address. Do I have to take y phone back to new to be able to log in to the icloud with the changed email address?

Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

Help please

I am also curious about this.
I want to stop using my hotmail account (which is also my Apple ID) and migrate to my icloud address for all my email.
Why cant I use my icloud mail address as my Apple ID?
Seems strange to be forced to use a hotmail address instead.

HT204053 I changed my apple ID to my new email address how to I change my apple ID for the cloud to a 3 rd email address?

I have a 4 year old macbook and a new ipad mini. I share the same apple ID with my daughter who has an iphone 4. Recently I changed the apple id last week to my new email address. The cloud has my old apple ID ( email address), how can I change that cloud ID to a 3rd email address? I do not want to share that cloud ID with my dughter, I want us to have our own IDs.

First save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device by opening the photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, email them to yourself as you will have to recreate these after changing accounts. Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud go to the settings for these apps and turn iCloud sycing to Off.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted. (This will only delete the account from your device, not from iCloud. If your daughter is keeping the existing account her devices will not be effected by this.) Then sign back in with your new ID to create a new iCloud account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, choose Merge when prompted to upload the data to the new account. Then recreate any Notes from the emails sent earlier and turn on iCloud syncing with iWork again, if appropriate.
existing iCloud old email address with the old account. If you still want to access it on your iPad, you'll have to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with the old account ID. This email will be fetch only, not push.
Once your iPad has migrated to the new account, if you also want to move your Mac to this account go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign in with the new ID.

TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

Same question Wish someone had replied!
I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!
