How do I change my old apple id email to my new one

I lost/broke my iPhone and I needed to update my password on my apple ID, so after struggling I changed that.  I used that opportunity to also change my primary email to one I now use because I created that Apple ID years ago.  Because I didn't have my phone anymore, I had to change my ID on nearly every device I use (iPad, Mac). Now, I have a replacement iphone, however I can't get my icloud to work because it has the old Apple ID email.  It won't let me sign out of that account or even delete it.  I just want to sign into the icloud with my new email.  It won't let me sign out because I had find my iphone turned on.  How can I change the email on there, or delete that account, or anything regarding the icloud account?
Please help, any feedback would make my life much less stressful.
Thanks

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out 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 back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

  • How do i erase my old apple id and create a new one with a new email address

    I forgot my phones Apple ID password and along with that forgot my password to my email account. I use my work email so thats why i dont really know the email i created for my phone. 
    So I created a new email and a new Apple ID online but when i put it the new Apple ID in my phone it says its incorect and shows my username as my old email that i had.  If that made any sense my entire question is how do i erase my old apple id on my phone and replace it with the new one i submittes online?

    Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

  • How can I change my primary Apple ID email to my new iCloud @me address?

    I just updated to iOS 5 on my iPod touch and signed up for iCloud. I have a new @me email address. I want to make it the primary email address for my Apple ID, but when I type it into the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address" field, it tells me that I cannot use a MobileMe account for my Apple ID. It is not a MobileMe account, and I have never had MobileMe. I know that the email works with my Apple ID, since I can log into my account with it. How can I make it the primary email address?

    While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
    Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
    Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
    • Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
    • Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
    • Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
    • Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
    • The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
    • Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
    That's all you have to do.

  • How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

    How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

    When do you get prompted for this ID? If you are asked for an AppleID
    you do not know during Activation, contact the seller for assistance. Only
    the person who set the Activation Lock can remove it. If the seller refuses
    or does not know the requested AppleID and passcode, return the iPhone
    for a full refund as it is useless. There is no work around for Activation Lock,
    The person who set the lock needs to follow the actions in this link:
    Prepare your device to sell or give away
    You can check if Activation Lock is the problem here:
    https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
    That link will only tell you if the iPhone is Activation Locked - it will not provide
    any information about the source of the lock, nor can you get any information
    from any source other than the original owner of the iPhone/person who set
    the lock.
