How can I restore my iCloud e-mail address?

You can't change and iCloud email account address once created.  You can either create a new iCloud account, or add an @icloud.com email alias address to the existing account, which will receive email in your existing iCloud inbox (more details here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.
If you would rather create a new account and keep your data, start by saving any photo stream photos on your phone that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  When you turn Mail on you will be asked to create your new iCloud email address.  Type carefully as it cannot be changed later.

  • HT201342 how can I change my iCloud e-mail address?  It's spelled incorrectly.

    I spelled the e-mail address incorrectly when I signed up for the iCloud service but didn't notice it until it was set.  How can I change the address to be spelled correctly?  If it means deleting the incorrect one and then adding the correct one I can't figure out how to do that either!

  • HT4859 How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

    How can I restore from iCloud on my new phone if I didn't do it on the intial setup process?

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

  • HT5621 how can I delete a primary e-mail addresse and replace it with a excisting Apple ID?

    How can I delete a primary e-mail address and replace it with a excisting Apple ID?

    An email address can only be used one account at a time, so if you want to replace it with an email address that is currently being used on another account then you will need to remove it from that account first before trying to put it on that account. You should be able to change the email address either by logging into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, or via http://appleid.apple.com

  • HT201342 Can I change my icloud e-mail address?

    Can I change my icloud e-mail address?

    No, only by signing up for a completely new iCloud account.
    You can add an email alias to your existing account though.

  • How do I change my @icloud e-mail address associated with my apple ID

    My apple ID is not an @icloud address (it is @yahoo.com).  Curretnly I have an @icloud e-mail address associated with this account.  If I log onto icloud.com with my @yahoo Aplle ID,  it will show the emails that I have received from my current @icloud e-mail address. 
    How do I:
    1) create a new @icloud e-mial address and
    2) replace the old @icloud with the new @icloud
    3) forward e-mails from the old address to the new one and then, evetually delete the old one. 

    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.) Once you have created an alias you need take no further action to receive emails to it; messages to either the primary address or the alias will turn up in the inbox, and you can choose which you use as the 'From' address when you reply.
    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.

  • How can I restore my iCloud back-up following reduction of storage amount on 1 Oct 2013?

    As a former Mobileme member, my free storage plan was reduced to 5Gb on 1 Oct 2013. Before that, I had around 5.2Gb of iCloud backup size. Today (less than 1 month after 1 Oct) it shows a new back up of just 100Mb. What happened to my earlier back-up (the one rolling over from iOS 6 etc.)? iCloud's notification email says back-up "will temporarily stop working" and that's all.
    I have now increased my storage buying 10 extra Gb of iCloud Space and my back-up (which was circa 5.2Gb before reduction) has not restored. What happened to it and how can it  be restored?
    Thanks!

    No, you have to erase the device to restore from iCloud backup.
    Restoring form backup is all stuff, yo can't select what to restore
    What you can do is to now transfer iTunes purchases to your computer by:

  • How can I restore automatic display & selection of addresses of contacts when I type the first letter on my Yahoo addressee bar?

    When filling out the addressees (T0, Cc, and Bcc bars) on a new mail in Yahoo, I would type the first few letters of each addressee, and get a display of the names and e-mail addresses starting with those letters. I would simply highlight the ones I wanted to include, and these would be automatically placed on the corresponding bar. For some reason, this display/autotext is not functioning. So I now have to go to "Contacts" to look up addresses that I haven't memorized.

    Hi Silky-Milky!
    If I understand your question correctly, you are attempting to merge your contacts from your previous phone's backup into your iCloud account, then go back to using your new phone as normal, with the new merged database of contacts. I have an article that can tell you how to do exactly that:

  • HT5312 I changed my email address and apple is ok wih it but iCloud still has my old email address and is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my iCloud account email address corrected and also get my new password

    Hi
    I changed email addresses but iCloud sill has my previous address registered. It also is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my new email address into the iCloud system, and also lodge a new password with them?
    I'm using an ipad and all else is ok but not icloud.

    Welcome to the Apple community Ross.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    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, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
