To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

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 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

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
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
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 the email on my apple account

I have changed my email address and want to update my apple account. It will not let me! My recovery email address is currently the email address I would like to change the username/email to.
Help!

When you say it will not let you, are you sigining into appleid.apple.com and clicking 'Edit' next to Primary Email?
Also, you will not be able to use an email address that is already associated with the same or another Apple ID.
If your recovery is what you want the primary to be, what you will have to do is:
1. Create a new email address with any email provider such as gmail, hotmail, etc. (even if you don't aren't going to use it)
2. Change the Recovery email address to the newly created email address.
3. Change the Primary email address to what used to be the recovery.
4. Change the Recovery to what the Primary email used to be.

You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only. I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6. Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them. I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account. If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos 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 Image. 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 Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account. Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

How do I change the email address for my I mac/web to the same email I use for all other apple producte I have that use ICloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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)
