How do I change the email that my icloud is connected to?

I accidentally deleted my whatsapp so I redownloaded it and I wanna restore my whatsapp messages. It's telling me to go to my icloud and turn on my "download and data" but in order to access this, I have to access my email which doesn't exist anymore.

If you know the answers to your security questions, then from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
If you can't remember your answers and you don't have access to your current rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

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).

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 that my security code reset will be changed to, the old one is no longer in service

First y have to reset your security questions to regain access to your acout
From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:
Two-step verification FAQ Get answers to frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID.
Then:
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed. If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

How do you change the email that you send how to send your security questions

I forgot my security question and I put in a 25 dollar itunes card in my account but i cant use the money because i forgot my security questions so i need help to be able to change it because the email it sends it to I no longer use and I also forgot the password to that as well and it wont let me change it. Please help!

Hi Rose,
You cannot change your Rescue email after you have forgotten your Security Questions. That would sort of defeat the purpose. Contact iTunes Support to have them reset:

or by email: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

How do I change the email that the security info sends to

I have recently bought a $20 gift card for iTunes and if I try to buy a Game it comes up with the security questions and I don't know them.
I tried to reset the questions but it's sending them to a email I don't have access to.
So I need to reset my email that the security info sends to but I don't know how
Any help?

You cannot and need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
