How to change email on icloud account?

I recently lost a lot of data cuz my icloud was backed up but it wasnt updated for a while after this ios 6 update it was really hard to get my ipod to show up on itunes. It is on an icloud account i have the same account but I wanted to change the email cuz its an old email I updated please help me how do i change the email without losing all my data and apps again? Please help thanks

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

    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 > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • How to change email for iCloud on Iphone?

    I have changed my email adress in my ID but my Iphone is still showing my old, I can change it in the ITunes store but not in iCloud

    Hello _Findus_,
    The steps below can help get your iCloud account updated correctly.
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and 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.

  • TS4002 How to change email in the account in my iPad? I forget my password and I don't have access to my email.

    Hi
    How can I change the email in my iPad account? I don't have access to the email anymore and I forgot its password. I have trouble to send and receive emails and hard time to update my device.
    Thanks

    The question is, did you change the email address used for your Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID. Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. So if what you really did was create a new Apple ID you will never be able to access or update your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • HT4864 How to change email name after account is already created

    I already have an email account but I want to change the email name, not the name on the account.  Is it possible to change the email name?

    Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>  
    Choose the mail account
    Erase the existing name or part of the name that you want to change and retype the correct name.  I made a spelling error in my display name when I initially set up the account.  I tried to change just the one wrong letter but it would not save, so I finally erased the entire word and retyped it and it worked! 

  • TS4002 Issue for families:  How do I create separate iCloud accounts while retaining a joint iTunes account?

    My family has previously used the same iTunes account.  Now that we all have apple devices, the iCloud feature is mixing our contacts, calendars and messages.  How do I set up individual iCloud accounts while retaining the current joint iTunes account (so that I can manage the payments for iTunes purchases)?  I cannot figure out how to change the current iCloud account (which is the Apple ID I have used for iTunes for years) on either my Mac or my iPhone.  It seems that once you have set your iCloud account, you cannot change it.  Any advice out there?

    No: @icloud.com is an Apple email address. To create a new Apple ID you need to start with an address other than @icloud.com, from any other service. Then you go to http://appleid.apple.com and follow the procedure to create a new ID: then you can sign into System Preferences or Settings>iCloud with it. When you enable Mail in the checklist you will be asked to create a new @icloud.com address. You can't transfer an @icloud.com address from one account to another.

    How do I delete an iCloud account from my iPad that I no longer know the password for and have no access to the email account to change it?

    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

  • HT5312 I changed my email address and apple is ok wih it but iCloud still has my old email address and is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my iCloud account email address corrected and also get my new password

    Hi
    I changed email addresses but iCloud sill has my previous address registered. It also is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my new email address into the iCloud system, and also lodge a new password with them?
    I'm using an ipad and all else is ok but not icloud.

    Welcome to the Apple community Ross.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and 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 and some other circumstances.
    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. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    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.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must use the previous owner's password to get permission to use the device. If you cannot get the password your father put on the iPad you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • On my iPad I have a working icloud that I have complete access to, but on my iPhone it keeps asking me for the password for it, but I do not know it! And the email that I used is not activated anymore! How do I delete the icloud account on my phone?

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:
