How to change icloud email password on ipad7

I have posted messages about the ongoing problems I had had with not being able to send or receive my icloud emails and BT Yahoo emails for the past 3 weeks. I have tried many processes as suggested on the Apple Support Communities and BT forum without any success. I have just noticed that when I check my icloud email account on my ipad, the password is shorter than my new one which I changed a few weeks ago. However, when I go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>icloud account and then update my password and click on Done, the details are verified and all the ticks appear correctly but when I go back into my account, the password reverts to the previous one. I then tried to delete my icloud account but the message "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in icloud will be deleted from this ipad". As I am not sure whether this means they will never be retrieved or are always stored in icloud (I also backed up my ipad last week), then I have not deleted it. Can anyone please advise on any of these points above as I am absolutely desparate having spent many, many hours trying to rectify my 'cannot get mail' issues!

I'm sorry, but I know nothing about iCloud email. I stayed away from iCloud email and only use iCloud for limited purposes.
But take a look at this discussion and read the response from randers4. He is one of the iCloud experts in the Apple Support Communities.

If that doesn't help, you might be better off posting in here where there are other more knowledgable iCloud users.

How to change icloud email? It wasn't me who made it. So every time I used my Apple ID is linked to that email?

How to change icloud email? It wasn't me who made it. So every time I used my Apple ID is linked to that email?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change that address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

How to change icloud email?

I have loaded the operating system on my Iphone 4s and all works except my Icloud email address is wrong and it wants a password I do not have. How do I change the icloud email or find the password?

You can't change an iCloud email address without creating a new account. You can, however, create an @icloud email alias address that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox. This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. If you create an alias address, it can't later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can it be moved to another account or reactivated should you ever delete it.

How to change icloud email to be main apple id primary address?

I have an apple id with a gmail address and since icloud came out I made an icloud email with the @me.com suffix which I prefer to use as my main email primary address and get rid of the gmail address being associated in my apple id. So how do I make my @me.com email to be the primary address and drop the gmail email??? I tried to change it at appleid.apple.com and it tells me my @me.com address already is a apple id. Is there a way?

I have the same problem. There isn't anything serious, but I am a bit angry for it :-)

How to change iCloud email address?

Hi,
when my brother-in-law set up his wife's iPad he used her current e-mail address as her appleID. But once he activated iCloud (for her new iPhone) he used unintentionally his name, Peter, to create her iCloud email address. How can I delete this iCloud e-mail address and set up a new iCloud e-mail address?

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

HT204053 I was using my husbands iCloud email. How do I change iCloud email to my iTunes email

I was using my husbands email address and iCloud and want to change to my address. I've changed iTunes but can't change iCloud email. Any ideas on how to change it

It only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud. This won't effect his account of device(s). W
Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to Keep or Delete the iCloud data. If you need to migrate a copy of the data to your new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing back in with your new ID to upload the data to your new account.
Deleting the account will delete the photo stream photos from your device. If you want to keep them, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (square with up arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.

You can change the non-Apple address which forms your ID to another non-Apple address at http://appleid.apple.com . However you cannot make your @icloud.com address into your ID address.

HT204053 how do i reset my additional iCloud email password which i forgot because of all your new pw requirements

how do i reset my additional iCloud email password which i forgot because of your new PW requirements

The password for your iCloud email is the same as the password where you sing into System Preferences>iCloud or http://icloud.com - can you sign in in the latter? If so and your email doesn't work you should sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again, and check Mail and any other data tyupes you want to sync. You data will disappear from your Mac when you do this but re-appear when you sign back in again.
If you can't sign in at http://icloud.com you should go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Reset password' - sign in with your iCloud login and follow the instructions.

Forgot to sign out of old id and changed icloud email address and cant sign out of find my phone

I have a iphone 4s and changed icloud email address and forgot to sign out of find my phone. How can I turn it off to change to the new email address that I changed in icloud?

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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 iDevice 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.

How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account? I inherited my son's phone and it still shows his phone number even though I can add my own email account. My iCloud is also associated with his phone number.
