HT1349 The Cloud came with my I-PHONE. Is it possible to change the email address it was set up under?

My mac book was purchased and set up a year or so ago. I purchased the i-phone, the cloud was part of that package. I set up the cloud using one of two e-mail addresses I use. Now I need to coordinate my mac and phone because everything on the mac are set up on the other e-mail address. I cannot get the updates and use the cloud properly. What is the solution?

On device: settings>iCloud, scroll to bottom of page and press Delete Account. Then enter the right one. However, any data you have synced with iCloud on the old account will be deleted on the device.

I have forgot my password. My company changed emails and I can no longer get to the email address that was set up on my iPad.

Ihave forgot my password to my account. ( I set a new one up to do this). When I go on to retrieve my password, it mails it to an email address I can no longer get to. I always use the same combination of passwords, so I know it is something simple. I am trying to get to my iCloud account and retreive my apps for my iPad.

If you can verify the serial number of an apple product registerd in your name, and can verify your apple id, and possibly some other info (credit card on file is a good one) you can call 1-800-APL-CARE. The tech should be able to verify this info, and if so can transfer you to account security.

How do I edit the email address that's set-up in my iPad Mail client? It's at iOS7

How do I edit the email address that's set-up in my iPad Mail Client Account? It's at iOS7 and the email address was entered incorrectly; this means the email doesn't work. There's an Edit button, which causes 3 horizontal lines to apperar at the end of the field, but does not seem to allow me to place the cursor in the field and correct the error. Unless I can correct this I'll have delete the account and start again so if anyone's able to tell me how to edit that address that would be briliant? Here's hoping................

Thanks mabaeyens; it IS the address entered in the email account, on the iPad, but sadly, as explained above, once you get to the Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account > tap in the wrong account > Email and then hit edit, the 3 horizontal lines appear at the end of the field but touching the screen within the text of the incorrect address doesn't make the cursor appear, so I can't edit! Very frustrating obviously. In the edit mode you can drag the field up and down the page but that's all............

That means that you did not buy the apps using your Apple account. Niel has the correct answer.

I am having a problem with homesharing on my apple tv. The email address on my tv is different than what I am registered with. How do I correct the email address that is being displayed under home sharing on the apple tv?

Somehow my apple id email address under homesharing on my apple tv is different than that used for homesharing on itunes in my imac. I can't access home sharing on my apple tv because of this. Can you please tell me how to change it on the apple tv in order to get homesharing to work?

turn off home sharing on apple tv, then turn it on again, entering new credentials. Apple-TV works very reliably with home sharing unlike iDevices which don't

My iPhone was stolen then my icloud account was hacked and I have the email address it was changed to, how do I report this Gmail user?

This morning my iPhone was stolen from me, I immediately called it and it had been turned off. So, I went right home to activate the Find My iPhone app on the website so it would call my other contact number. Then going to my AT&T store I was told to go home and submit an insurance claim. Later this evening, I tried to access my iCloud account and I couldn't. Finally, I found an series of emails from Apple at 5:15pm and on verifying my Find My iPhone activation had been disabled and that my iCloud ID had been changed to *********. I don't know who the heck this person is, but they've managed to deactivate the Find feature and hack my iCloud ID email address. How can this happen? How do I get Apple and Gmail to prosecute this person? I still don't know the full extent of what has been hacked into. Does anyone have any helpful insight? Thanks

In terms of your account the best thing to do would be to change the password.
Also just letting you know that you aren't talking to Apple, the people here are Apple product users like yourself. If you wish to speak with Apple follow the link below and call the number for your country:

I phone 4s how do I change rescue email address?

How do I change my rescue email address? I can't find a way to do it on the Apple ID website?

I googled it and got my answer...not sure if it is useful to have or not
since I am synced with my computer on Gmail. Thanks anyway. I'm not sure
how to stop this conversation.

After changing the email address to my appleid I still receive emails about purchases on the old email (as well as the new).

I recently changed the email address that was my Appleid. I verified it and followed all the steps the web told me to do. I signed out of itunes on my laptop and back in. I signed out of everything and back in on my ipod touch.
Today I made my first purchase since that change, it was on a new computer. I authorized that computer and went through the steps itunes asked me for, password, security questions and so forth. I received an email stating a purchase had been made on a new computer.
The problem is that I also received the same email at my old email address as well as the new one.
When I check my appleid on the internet it says that only the new email is associated with the appleid. Which is how I want it. Why did the old email address get the mail as well as the new? Is there any way to stop that from happening in the future?

Erasing and resetting the network settings in the phone seems to have done the trick. Facetime is now working again.
Settings> General> Reset> Reset Network Settings.
I did not have to remove all data from the phone.

How do u delete iCloud account or CHANGE the email address?

Long story short, I ended up having to restore to factory settings my iphone. I had planned on restoring one of the backups that I had done through iTunes. (Yes, I now know to backup through iCloud so please do NOT suggest that -.-) but it kept telling me that there was a threat detected in the backup file??? So skipped it. And tried again. Didn't work. Got same msg about the threat. So I ended up healing the threat and then it told me that it couldn't restor the backup because a file was either missing or corrupted. I'm like..***!!! Ughness.
So now I'm trying to set it up so that I can back it up via iCloud so that this stupid issue doens't occur again, but my old @rogers.com email address is the iCloud email addres and I'm trying to change it in the iPhone to my @bell.net email address. I have changed it in itunes. It's working there...but my stupid iPhone keeps asking me for the password on the Apple ID that has the @rogers.com email address. THAT IS NOT THE EMAIL ADDRESS THAT IS SET UP IN MY APPLE ID! I have already set up the new one....which is the @bell.net one but for some stupid reason, iCloud keeps wanting the @rogers.com one...and whenever I enter it, it's not correct because that email address has been removed.
Can someone PLEASE help me.
Thanks
Rose

You can't actually terminate an iCloud account, though obviously you can simply log out of it on all your devices and then ignore it in future.
I gather that the @icloud.com address is also the actual ID? You can't change that. However if your Apple ID that you use to log into iCloud is a non-Apple email address you can change that - please follow carefully the instructions here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudfaq2.html#6
If it's this non-Apple address which is compromised then changing the ID will solve that. If it's the @icloud.com address which is compromised then you cannot change that though 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
However if you add an alias the original address will still function, so if you are getting a lot of spam it will still arrive.
You can get a completely new iCloud account simply by creating a new Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com , for which you will need a new non-Apple address which has never been associated with an Apple ID.
You will need to sign out of the old account on all your devices and sign in with the new ID.
If none of this solves the problem and it is a security issue, go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Apple ID account Security'.

How do you change the email address on the auto-created button in a distributed form?

I created a form and distributed form but its going to the wrong person. It's almost like its using the email address that was used to register the software

What does that have to do with the PREMIERE PRO video editing software discussed in this forum?
