How can I change my e-mail on icloud to match my Apple id?

I have recently changed my phone and got a new Apple ID, unfortunately it keeps popping up to enter the password on i cloud for my old Apple id which I cant remeber..... how can i change it so its the same??

This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    How can I change my e-mail address on my iphone to a new internet provider that I just got.  I already went to appleid.apple.com, and then changed to new e-mail there, but for some reason when I pressed the save button, it seemed like it wouldn't want to save.

    If the Inbox for this account only is revealed, is there any triangle beside it?
    Ah, yes, I see! Silly me to be looking for Sent mail under "Sent"! Indeed, there's a disclosure triangle next to the account name under "Inbox", and wen you open it, it shows Drafts, Sent, spam, and Trash. The sent items are indeed there.
    Mind you, my Dot Mac accounts show up normally, i.e., their sent mail goes under "Sent". Wish all IMAP accounts did that. It sure isn't logical to show sent mail inside an inbox...
    But to answer your question: In addition to having the "Sent" folder for the account under "Inbox", I also have a folder for the account under "Sent". This folder disappears when I check the box to store messages on the server. There were emails in it (the ones I placed there myself). I have now moved those emails to the sent sub-folder under the account under "Inbox". Even with the "store on server" option UNchecked, the emails were instantly duplicated to the server, so that they were present both locally and remotely. I then checked the "store on server box"; this made the mailbox for the account under "Sent" vanish.
    To summarize: things appear to work normally now, except that I find it very inconvenient to have to look in two separate "Sent" folders to find emails I've written.

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

    Hey Sblan2,
    According to the following document, you are unable to change the iCloud email address.

    However, one option you have would be to create an email alias:

  • My iPhone is locked to ex's iCloud account (but to my credit card!). I don't have the password. How can I change it to my new iCloud account?

    My iPhone 4S (iOS8) is locked to ex's iCloud account (but to my credit card!). I don't have the password. How can I change it to my new iCloud account?
    My phone shows my name plus iCloud old iCloud account. My kids' new iPads show my name plus my new iCloud account. But both accounts show my children as "family" associated with them.
    Basically, I need to change the iCloud account on my phone to my new one. But I'm not given that option.
    Help and thanks.

    Hi and thanks. The password on the old iCloud account doesn't work and my ex-husband says he doesn't know what it is -- and that he's not getting emails to reset the password. I tried using the rescue questions and even the birthdate isn't working. I think he's changed it to keep me out, but it's charging my credit card account.

  • HT201342 how can i change my email address on icloud account, it is already changed on my apple id

    How can I change my email address on icloud, I have already changed it on my apple id, but it still is asking for lmy old email and password and I can not back up or anything?

    Hello RousePryor
    If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.

  • How can i change de name of my icloud account?

    Here's the problem.  I've been using the same itunes account for years.  It's on my girlfriends name.
    Since I've been using my macbook pro for my company, everythime I send an ical invitation to someone they see her name instead of my name.
    So my question is:
    How can I change the name of the icloud account?  or How can I change the config of ical so it will only invite people from my email adress and not the icloud adress?
    thanks

    You could set up a new account in "Settings > iCloud" and use that for email and calendar (http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/).

  • How can I change my contact number on iCloud?

    How can I change my contact number on iCloud?

    So the question is, what device are you changing it on?  Before doing anything, backup all devices, save all photos somewhere on a hard drive and export your contacts and calendar just in case.  I am a real beginner here, but I have been dealing with this issue for two weeks so I think I am getting a handle on it.  Hopefully someone can give even better advice.
    iCloud.com is a slave to whatever account you have setup on your IOS device, so it doesn't care what you sign in as.  There is nothing to "change" there, just sign in as whatever Apple ID you have setup on your devices.
    I would start on the Macbook.  Go under preferences, iCloud, and then sign out of your iCloud account.  Sign back in, but enter the new Apple ID that you want to use.  This will delete the old account, but give you the option of keeping everything you have in iCloud on your computer.  Turn everything on that you want to sync, and you will be back up with iCloud connected to a new AppleID.  iCloud.com will now mirror your MacBook.
    On the iPhone, go under Settings, and then iCloud, and delete the existing account.  You will loose whatever is in the Cloud from your phone, but they should already be back in the cloud from your MacBook fromthe above step, so no worried.  Setup a new iCloud account with the Apple ID you used above, and enable the things you want to sync. Everything should be back now and you have the new AppleID associated with your iCloud. 
    The iPad is the same as the iPhone, delete the old and establish a new iCloud account with the AppleID you used above.  You will loose anything that is in the cloud from the iPad but it should repopulate once the new Apple ID is established.
