How do I change the email for my icould account on my iphone 4s?

I have an iPhone 4S. I have an old email for my icloud that shows on my iPhone 4S. My actual Appleid is a new one that I've had for awhile now. The iPhone when hooked up via USB to my computer is signed in under my new email, however keeps the old email for the iCloud even after the update and sync. Can someone please help me? There is no "Delete Account," when you go to Settings either. Someone else suggested that and it's just not there. I am really hoping that I do not have to completely reset the iPhone.

Hey JT_BARRETT,
Thanks for the question. You are definitely on the right track. You’ll want to follow these instructions for updating your iPhone with your new iCloud account. Please note that “Delete Account” had changed in iOS 8 to “Sign Out”:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID

iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
- If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
- If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • How do I change my email for my Adobe account?

    I am going to be making a new email soon and I want to know how to change the email for my Adobe account.
    I have purchased things on this account so I want to make sure that I can keep those purchases.
    Thanks!

    Presumably you've tried opening your account and editing your details on the first page, where, under your Adobe ID, you can alter it to your new email address. This is assuming that your ID is the same as your email address, which mine is.

    Hi karen615,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot reset your Apple ID password via security questions, you can reset via email authentication. If you are not receiving the email, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support using the link in the Get help section toward the bottom of the article.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,

  • How can I change the email address on my account?

    My account is tied to an old email address which hasn't existed for about a decade, how do I change this?

    Hello Chris,
    This can be done through our Apple ID site.
    Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    If your primary email address for your Apple ID does not end in @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com
    Note: If your Apple ID and your primary email address are currently the same, changing the primary email address will also change your Apple ID. If your Apple ID and your primary email address are different, changing your primary email address will not change your Apple ID. 
    Follow these steps to change the primary email address for your Apple ID:
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID," and sign in.
    With the Name, ID, and Email Address drawer selected, click Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
    Enter your new email address.
    Ensure that the email address you enter:
    Is one that you regularly use since this will be the primary email for your account
    Is a valid email address
    Is not already associated with another Apple ID you have
    Is not an address that ends in @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com
    You will be asked to verify the email address to confirm that you can access it and that it belongs to you. When you receive the verification email, click the Verify Now link and sign in using your Apple ID and password to complete the confirmation. 
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • How do i change the email on an unvarified account?

  • How do I change the email associated w/my account?

    I'm trying to change the email address associated with my account as I'm deactivating the one currently in use. I've followed all the links I can find that are profile related but can't find a place to change my email address. Where is this hiding?
    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, I know you can't merge Apple IDs. I'm not going to replace my current domain email, I'm only going to use my iCloud email. Since I already have an iCloud Apple ID (a second Apple ID), I don't have anything else to use to change my Apple ID email address.
    Thanks for your help; I think I'm stuck w/losing all info associated w/my current email address/Apple ID>

  • How do i change the email on my icloud account?

    A few months ago i changed the email used for my apple ID to a gmail and I used this for ITunes and App Store. However a few weeks ago my iPhone was water damaged and i had to send it off for repair, when i got it back I signed in to my apple ID using the gmail email so I could restore my phone using iCloud. This worked until it asked me to sign in again to download all my old apps using my old apple ID and every time i go to settings - iCloud it asks me to sign in using my old email and i cannot click on it to change it to my new gmail one so i cannot download all my apps. Any suggestions?

    Apps and music purchased  from iTunes etc are locked to the Apple id used to make the purchase forever
    No way to change that
