How do I change my icloud e-mail

I need to change my icloud e-mail.  How do I do this?

Hi,
I think I have this one,
Go to
Settings
iCloud
Scroll to the bottom, there is a "delete account" button
Press that, delete the current account, then go back in to the settings/ iCloud and the email address is still the same, but now editable.
Please try and let me know

  • 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.

  • 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.

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.

    thanks

    You can't change the name of your @me.com or @icloud.com address, but you can set up an alias with a different name that will still deliver email to your iCloud inbox.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

  • I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

    I don't remember my old Apple ID and I closed my email account that I was using for my old Apple ID. Now, how can I change my icloud id on my Ipad. The old icloud id is still on my Ipad.

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

  • HT4623 How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?

    How can I change my Icloud account on my ipad to the one I use on my iphone?
    For example on my iphone I log in with a yahoo account.  My ipod was originally set up with another e-mail account (which I can't remember the password).  I want to use the yahoo e-mail and the password associated with it to log on to both devices.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    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.

  • HT204053 How can I change my iCloud email address

    How can I change my iCloud email address

    Unfortunately it is not possible to change your primary mac.com or me.com email address for iCloud (See also Apple's FAQ: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs cannot be renamed), but you could stop using this account and create a new one.
    Another option would be to create up to three email alises for your current primary email address.
    Try this to create a new alias for your me.com address:
    Open the web interface of iCloud "www.icloud.com" with Safari
    Log in
    Open "Mail"
    Open "Preferences" (by clicking on the little button in the upper right corner)
    Go to "Accounts"
    Click on "Add an alias" (it would be another me.com address, you can not create new mac.com addresses since MobileMe was launched)
    Finished
    By the way: If you want to set up iCloud on your Mac you need Lion or Mountain Lion.
