How do you change your icloud account when you change email address

How do you change your Icloud account details from your old email address to your new email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
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)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

  • How do i verify my icloud account when the verification email is no longer active anymore?

    so before on my email i had used for my itunes and icloud account i had been recieving too much spam mail so i completely deleted the gmail account and made a new one. i am trying to change the itunes and icloud account to the new email but i cant because it keeps saying "please verify your icloud account by checking the email apple sent to you" but the problem is that that email is disabled therefor, no verification...
    i tried just deleting the whole icloud account but it then deleted my notes and other things along with it and i have to keep restoring my old back up in order to have all my information again.
    How can i fix this so i can keep all my notes and just change the account?

    Did you create an entirely new ID or did you just change the Gmail address to a new email address on your existing ID?

  • How can you verify your icloud account if you entered an incorrect email account as your icloud id, and thus can't receive a verification email?

    I set up an icloud account using my itunes ID as my icloud user name, and now I have a major problem. My itunes id is six years old, and it's an email address that I just found out is no longer valid (an old netscape address).  If someone tries to send an email to this old netscape address, the delivery fails. So when Apple tries to send my icloud verification message to this old netscape address, I never get the verificaton message, and thus i can't sign on to icloud.  Can anyone help?

  • How do I change my icloud account from my old email address to my new email address, the old one is no longer accessable!!

    Hi
    I changed my old email address over a year ago and my icloud still only recognises the old email address on my iphone 5, how do I go about changing it, if I do not have access to a password, to my new email address?  My iTunes is on my new email address but not my icloud account.
    For some reason it only recognises my daughter email, as we share iTunes account.
    Please could you help with what I could do to change it??

    Oops sorry, that doesn't make sense, I don't have access to my old email address, we closed the account!!  I obviously do have access to my new email address but its not letting me change to my new email address!!

  • How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?

    How can I delete my Icloud account when I don't know the password and no longer have the email address associated with it?
    You need your password to delete it and I need the email address to reset the password.  I feel like I'm going in circles!!!  Please help!!!

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 shouldn't need to verify the old account).  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 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.

    How do I verify my iCloud account when the email address Apple wants to send the instructions to doesn't exist?  I know I need to change the email account associated with iCloud but there doesn't seem to be a way to do so.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    The seller needs to follow this procedure:

    If she refuses, then as Tim suggested the iPhone is probably stolen. You'll need to contact your local police department and ask how to proceed.

    How do I delete an icloud account which uses an email account no longer in use - I do not have the the passwrd for this account

    You will need the password. If you can't get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com (if you remember the answers to the account's security questions then you should be able to reset it via them) then try contacting Support in your country, they should be able to reset it.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT569
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • My iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information.  How do I get the old email account off my iCloud

    my iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information.  It keeps asking me my old password to the old email address which is NOT a valid email any longer.  I'm unable to manage my iCloud until this is resolved.  HELP

    If your Apple ID is the one that you use for making all of your purchases, it should, automatically appear in FaceTime already. How a no longer valid email address got there to begin with is a mystery to me, if in fact you do have, and have been using another Apple ID.
    Go to Settings>FaceTime>Apple ID. Tap the old email address and sign out, sign in with your Apple ID. It should be verified and allow you to select it as the address that you can be reached by for FaceTime.
    If that does not work, time FaceTime off, restart your iPad and then start all over again.

  • My Pages documents disappeared from my iphone somehow in the process of changing my iphone account from a defunct email address to my new one. How do I get them back?

    I changed my Apple account to a new email address and away from an address that was discarded last summer. Somehow, in the process, all my Notes word processing documents left my iphone. Did they go to the icloud for my old Apple account or just disappear completely? I can't access the old icloud since it requires a working up-to-date email address. Apple Security so far has not been able to help me restore my orphaned files. What to do now?!
