HT204053 how do I change email address on icloud for my phone? somehow I have another email address on my laptop and want them to be the same plus I don't know the old/phone password

How do I change the email associated with Icloud on my phone. It's not my mail apple id, its and old one and I don't know the password anymore. I have another apple ID associated with my ipad and laptop and the icloud works great with that. I just did the new iphone update and now its constantly asking for the icloud/apple id - the one I don't even know the password for anymore and it keeps popping up all the time.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How can I change email address on my ICloud account? It won't let me change old e-mail address.

How can I change email address on Icloud? It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

HT201342 how do you change your (mac/me/icloud) email address

how do you change your (mac/me/icloud) email address

You cannot change an iCloud email address unless you create a new iCloud account. You can, however, create an email alias, which is an alternate email address that will receive incoming email in your existing iCloud email inbox. To do this, see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Just keep in mind that once you creat an alias, you can't later use this to create a new iCloud account or move it to another account, even if you delete the alias.

Hi Joycars,
Can you not simply sign out of the iCloud account with the incorrect email? Not sure I'm following?

Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone. Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

How do I change my iCloud email address & password?

To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account. To do this, 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 iPhone on your device, 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.

Changing email addresses in iCloud

I recently upgraded to Lion and switched my mobileme email addresses to iCloud. I want to replace one of my aliases with another. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

How many aliases did you have in MobileMe? You were allowed five, but iCloud allows only three. If you had five, all will have been migrated but you will have to delete three before you can add one. If you currently have three you can delete one but you will have to wait a week before you can add another. If you have only two you can add another one immediately.
Go to the Mail page at http://icloud.com , click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', and click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
If you have more than two aliases, select one or more and click the '-' sign below the list. If you hava a space available, click 'Add an alias'.

How to use same email address on iCloud across different devices?

I am setting up my iCloud ID, which I already have on my MacBook Air and iPhone on my new iPad mini. When I turn on iCloud, it asks me to set up a new email address at @icloud.com, which I don't want it to do. Instead, I want to use the @me.com email address I already have.
How do I turn on Mail on my iPad mini and get it to pick up the email address I already have?

Hey pdenlinger,
It sounds like you are signed into a different iCloud account on the iPad mini, in my experience that would be the only cause. Be sure to double check what Apple ID you are signed into for iCloud, we'll want it to be your @me.com address.
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436
When you setup your iOS device, by default the same Apple ID is used for iCloud services and store purchases (iTunes, App Store, iBookstore). However, if you want to use a separate Apple ID, you can set up the account you would like to use in Store Settings.
For more information on @me.com and @icloud.com, refer to this article:
