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.

  • HT204053 I no longer have the e-mail address associated with the apple ID for iCloud.  The password I have written for that account is deemed wrong, as is the security information (i.e. my birthdate).  How do I eliminate this incorrect account and start a

    I no longer have the e-mail address associated with an Apple ID.  I do not know the password for that account, nor are the security questions correct (e.g. it asked my birth date, but, when I listed it, I was told it was not correct).  I have no way to get into the program, to correct an information.  How do I delete this account and start anew?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • For FaceTime, can you add an additional e-mail that is not your Apple ID e-mail?  Everytime I try to do this on my iPad it sends me a verification e-mail saying I am trying to change the e-mail address associated with my apple ID and wants me to verify.

    I am trying to add another e-mail address to FaceTime, but do not want to change the e-mail address associated with my Apple ID.  Everytime I try to add the e-mail address in my FaceTime settings, it send me a verification e-mail asking me to verify that I want to change to this new e-mail address for my apple ID.  I do not.  I just want to have an additional e-mail address for people to contact me via FaceTime. Does anyone know how to do this?

    You can have multiple addresses associated with your apple id. You will have to verify any changes before they can be added and this is done by sending you an email. This is to protect you from someone else makeing changes to your account.
    You can make any changes and view all your info here:

  • HT4847 I had a previous e-mail address associated with my Apple Account.  I change this, but Cloud did not update with the change.  Now I can't log-in under the old I.D. and when I try to provide a password or get through by providing my BD it says it is

    For some reason when trying to get ito Cloud, I can't get into my previous e-mail address to make changes, which I must do to delete it.  Cloud does not recognize my old password and the system does not seem to associate my BD with it.  I knowlonger have the old e-mail address associated with Cloud.
    I have a new e-mail associate with my Apple account and a new password.  The problem is trying to get Cloud to recognize my new I.D. 

    You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • 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!

    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.

  • Can I change my verified primary email address associated with my apple id? I don't want to change my apple id as I have music/apps associated with it.  My current email will be changing soon.

    Can I change my verified primary email address that is currently associated with my apple id?  I don't want to change my apple id because I have music and apps assoicated with it.  I tired following some of the posts that shows going to an apple dialog that allows you to update your apple id and primary email separately, but when I try doing it I get a dialog that says I can update my apple id and my primary email.  I don't want to change my apple id only my primary email.  Anyone have any suggestions?  That email is going away soon.  Thanks for any help.

    Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

  • How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

    How can I get my e-mail address associated with Adobe Digital Editions?

    gjortega,
    Your sidekick may be relaying through a different server. If its on AT&T, it could be using cwmx.com for outgoing. However, cwmx.com only works for AT&T/Cingular EDGE customers. When on Wi-fi it won't allow you to send through it.
    Many internet providers, but not all, provide an authenticating SMTP server to use when travelling. If you configured your outgoing server to use the email providers authenticating SMTP server information on a port different from port 25, you will be able to use it on most networks. Some wireless networks filter a wider range of ports, such as some work places.
    This article discusses the issue in more detail:
