Instructions in help for dummies

You can change the primary email address associated with your Apple ID as explained under "How to edit or change your primary email address" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668. After changing and verifying the email address you can change the name of the ID to match by clicking Edit next to the name of the ID.
Once you've updated your ID, you can go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with your updated credentials.

How can I change my iCloud id to match my new apple id on my iphone?

To change the ID you have to delete the account, provide the password, then sign back in with the new ID. If it isn't accepting the password, do the following...
If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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.

How do I change my icloud account from my old email address to my new email address, the old one is no longer accessable!!

Hi
I changed my old email address over a year ago and my icloud still only recognises the old email address on my iphone 5, how do I go about changing it, if I do not have access to a password, to my new email address? My iTunes is on my new email address but not my icloud account.
For some reason it only recognises my daughter email, as we share iTunes account.
Please could you help with what I could do to change it??

Oops sorry, that doesn't make sense, I don't have access to my old email address, we closed the account!! I obviously do have access to my new email address but its not letting me change to my new email address!!

How can I change my icloud appleID to match my itunesID?

I found a good post on this posted by renders4 in March 2014 that explains it well. However, my other issue is that I was using a previous email when I created the account, and the email I used for icloudID is not available anymore. Since I don't remember the password I used then, I can't retrieve the password. So is there a way to resolve it so that I can access itunes and icloud on both my laptop and my iphone?

Are you saying that you don't know the password for the iCloud ID that your device is currently signed into? If not, and you no longer have access to the email account to reset it yourself, you should contact Apple for assistance by contacting the Apple account security team for your country: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. If your country is not listed you can contact iTunes store support by email here: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

TS3988 How can I change my iCloud ID? I moved and the email I used to set it up no longer exists.

I want to correct my iCloud ID as the email address I used to set it up will no longer exist when I move.
If I delete the account it says will delete all my contact, calendar, etc. data from my device and I could not deal with that.
How can I change it and save my data on my devices?

I have already changed my Apple ID, but now I need to change my ICLOUD ID.
I can delete the iCloud ID, but then it tells me that it will delete all the data from my device - calendars, contacts etc. which would be totally unacceptable. One of the other threads says you can select save my data, but unless that option is buried it does not appear on the deletion screen.
So the question remains - how do I change my iCloud ID to a valid email address. The one I used to set it up will go away in a week when I move and cancel my present Internet service. Comcast doesn't provide service where we're moving so the email address will go away.

HT204053 I recently changed ny Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on.

I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete 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. Click edit next to the primary email account, 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 iPad 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 iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).
