How to change your email

How do u change your email on i cloud

You can't change the main email address belonging to your iCloud account. You would have to create an entirely new iCloud account from scratch.
However a better alternative is to create an 'email alias'. You can have up to three of these - they are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the sam inbox as your main address. Please see:

Note that new aliases will be @icloud.com. not @me.com.

    How do u change your email address on iCloud?

    My understanding is that to change your Primary Email so that it links with your Apple ID (assuming this is what you intend to do), you have to establish it in here first

    But sarcaster330 is right.  Apple is currently preventing Apple ID text strings with the @me.com domain.  Only accepting 3rd party domain accounts as Apple IDs.   It is a policy that frankly defies logic/common sense and that I hope Apple will soon overcome.   In other words, many of us are demanding that our Apple ID = our Primary Email which for many of us is now an @me.com account.

  • How to change your email and password

    Hi, I have just changed my email address and password, I thought I was successful in changing my details but haven't,can anyone help please

    Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support explains the difference between Alternate and Rescue Addresses and the "necessity" for a Rescue Address.
    I fall into the category of not needing one (only two security questions in the challenge), so my "Forgot your answers?" link to send the email sends to my ALTERNATE address.
    I do not know the criteria for 2 or 3 security questions.

    You won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to update your rescue email address for potential future use.

  • I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

    I suddenly recieved 6 'How to change your Apple ID password' emails, even though I haven't been on the Apple site in months....should I be concerned that someone is trying to use my account?

    I wouldn't be too concerned. The most likely cause is that someone is attempting to login and made a mistake in entering their Apple ID and typing yours instead. So, they are getting an error and offer to reset their password. But the email that generates is being sent to the real owner of the Apple ID they are entering, you. If you are really concerned, you can go to the Apple support site and reset your password yourself to be on the safe side.

  • URGENT: how to change billing email

    Instead of using a credit card to purchase music, I use iTunes gift cards. For the gift cards, I get the receipt in my email. How can I change the email I recieve my receipts from. Need help ASAP!!!

    You see, your email is also your Apple ID, so if you have an Apple ID with @mac, @me or @icloud is not possible to change your email...
    You can acess appleid.apple.com, enter your mail and password, there you can edit your email for the account.
    hope I could help

  • Help! How to change my email

    I just bought a used blackberry torch 9800 from my sister.
    I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change my email settings from an enterpirize account to a personal email account.

    Hello!
    Actually, you cannot rid yourself of the Enterprise selection...rather, you need the proper data plan in order to ADD Personal/Internet email to the wizard. Unless you are on BES/corporate, you should stay completely away from all Enterprise selections of all kinds.
    To use the proprietary BB services (including Push email capability, BBM, etc.), you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service) for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a Push-email enabled BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), your BB-proprietary services will function (e.g., you will have Personal/Internet Email added to the email setup wizard, your BBM will function, etc).
    http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
    With hundreds of carriers in the world, each with dozens of different data plans, it's impossible to tell you specifically what any service plan might actually provide. Only the carriers can answer that question. The best thing to do is to decide what services you desire, and then talk to your carrier about obtaining (from them) a data plan that enables what you desire.
    Good luck!

  • HT201269 How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account?

    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.

    If you mean you want to change the iCloud ID your phone is signed into on your phone (which looks like an email address), 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. 
    If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, 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 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.

    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.
