How do I add a new iCloud email address. I don't want to use the original one i set up.

How do I setup another iCloud email address

i do I setup another icloud email address??

Each iCloud account only has a single associated email account. You can create additional alias addresses that will receive email in your existing account inbox, but it's still the same account. This explaines how to add an email alias: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.
If you need to create a new iCloud email account you will need to create a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your Mac by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud, sign in with a separate Apple ID, then check Mail in this account.

HT5330 I'm trying to add another iCloud email address; it refuses password???

I am trying to create a second iCloud email address; I followed directions for Snow Leopard and get account created, am using my Apple ID signin as password. Account will not go online and keeps asking me for password. Then rejects what I type in...
Any ideas.
Thanks
Rose

Firstly, it's a really bad idea to post your email addresses - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
You can create an alias with anything you like before the '@' provided of course that it hasn't already been taken. However what follows the '@' can only be @icloud.com - @mac.com addresses can no longer be created, though existing ones will continue to function (and have equivalent @me.com and @mac.com versions).
As your current Charter.net address is (something)@charter.net and you are going to change it to (something)@icloud.com you are still going to have to notify all your friends as it is a change of address.
You don't say whether your charter.com address is completely independent of your iCloud account or whether it is its login (though if you have an @mac.com address that is likely to be the login). If your login is any non-Apple address you can change it to any other non-Apple address, but you cannot change to you @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address (or alias address), and if your login is an @mac.com address you cannot change that.
When you add an alias you cannot access it as a separate account in Mail (it's not an account which is why when you try to add it you can't find a password for it); you can access and use it as the 'From' address as indicated in my post above.

My old Apple ID does not work, so I have a new one, but the problem is, my iCloud is backed up on my old Apple ID, and I tried to delete the account, but then it said that everything would be deleted on my iPad. How do you add another iCloud email?

My old Apple ID doesn't work, so I created a new one. However, my iPad(3) is backed-up on my old apple ID. I tried deleting it(for iCloud) but it said it would erase everything. Help?

If you want to use a new ID, you'll have to create a new iCloud account using the new ID, then migrate your existing icloud data to the new account. Start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll). Next, if you are syncing notes with iCloud, open them one at a time and email them to yourself so you can recreate them in the new account. Finally, if you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, turn off iCloud syncing in your iWork app settings.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Keep on My iPad when prompted. Then sign in with your new ID to create the new account, turn your iCloud data syncing back on and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.
When you turn Mail to On you will create a new @icloud.com email account. You can go to icloud.com sign into your old account and set up email forwarding from your old iCloud email address to your new one if you wish

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one?

Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one? I would like to have two different email addresses for personal use, on Icloud.

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.

How can I remove an icloud email address if i have forgotten the password?

How can I remove an ICloud email address that's on my IPhone if I have forgotten the password? I have tried to reset the password through Apple ID but I no longer have access to the email address and its not recognising my birthday

If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.

HT2623 How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

You can't, except by creating a new iCloud account. But you can create an @icloud.com email alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622). (Note: alias addresses cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can they be moved to another account or be reactivated should you ever delete them.)

How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a spelling mistake when setting it up?

How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a small spelling mistake when creating my new iCloud email address originally?

When a user creates an icloud account, they use an Apple ID, like [email protected] to define it. If this use of an ID is what you mean, then NO you can't change it without creating a new ID and thus new account.
But if all you want to do is have a different email address associated with the account, then that you can do by defining an alias email address. Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Mail page. In the upper right there's a cog wheel, click that and then choose preferences, then accounts. In the icloud account, you can add a new alias. Note that it must be of the format [email protected]

HT5312 How can I add a rescue email address

How do I add a rescue email address. Have been in passwords and security but not getting the
option to add a rescue email,

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to answer your security questions to add a rescue address, if you don't know these.
If you don't know these you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.

If you do then log into your account on http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password And Security section of your account's page, answer the two questions that show and you can then add a rescue email address : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
If you don't remember your answers then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.

hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

That's definitely not supposed to happen. You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out. The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/. You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number. Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge. I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

Hi sparkie,
You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

Hope this helps!
