HT201342 How to change the email addressed issued to me?
I want a different icloud address than what was issued to me. How do I change it?
You can't. You automatically get the same address @icloud.com as you chose for @me.com.
You can either setup an alias with your desired address (if available), or create a whole new iCloud account attached to a new AppleID.

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. -
HT204053 How to change the email address associated with my Apple ID?
I currently use yahoo, and want to delete that account. However it is the email address that is associated with my Apple ID. Is there a way to switch my apple ID to my new email address?
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Log in: click 'Edit' next to the email address which forms your Apple ID and you can change it to another functioning non-Apple email address.

Changing the email address iphoto uses?
can anyone tell me how i change the email address iphoto uses to share??
thank yousorry, the system was down for some time.
If you are mailing using "iPhoto" you will see mail stationary like this.
Use the "From" menu to select the account you want to mail from. That will set the default address to the address set in the selected account.
Use the "Preferences > Accounts" tab to set the default address for your Mail accounts. Click "+" to add an account, if necessary.
If you'd rather use a different Mail program then iPhoto's stationary, set the menu to "Mail" or your preferred mailer. Then you select the default mail address in the preferences of your mailer. -

HT5312 How do you change the email address used to send security answers?
How do you change the email used to send the security answers you have forgotten? I have changed the alternative email adress in Name, ID and Email Addresses but this does not change the email address in the Password and Security section.

- For purchasing media. Srrings.iTunes and App stores. Sing out and sign into anoterh account
- Settings>iCLoudl for iCloud account
- Settings>FaceRome for Apple ID and where You can Be Reached At email address
- Settings>Messages for Send And Receive email address.
- Maybe for Game Center -
how do i change the email address for my icloud account on my 4s. when i sign in on line it is my new email address so i thought it would change automatically but obviously not!
Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it. -
I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?
If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you! -

How can I change the email address on my account?
My account is tied to an old email address which hasn't existed for about a decade, how do I change this?
Hello Chris,
This can be done through our Apple ID site.
Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
If your primary email address for your Apple ID does not end in @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com
Note: If your Apple ID and your primary email address are currently the same, changing the primary email address will also change your Apple ID. If your Apple ID and your primary email address are different, changing your primary email address will not change your Apple ID.
Follow these steps to change the primary email address for your Apple ID:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID," and sign in.
With the Name, ID, and Email Address drawer selected, click Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter your new email address.
Ensure that the email address you enter:
Is one that you regularly use since this will be the primary email for your account
Is a valid email address
Is not already associated with another Apple ID you have
Is not an address that ends in @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com
You will be asked to verify the email address to confirm that you can access it and that it belongs to you. When you receive the verification email, click the Verify Now link and sign in using your Apple ID and password to complete the confirmation.
Cheers,

How do I change the email address associated with a Firefox account?
I will be purchasing a new computer and want to sync my Firefox account so the new PC will have my bookmarks. The problem is the email address associated with my Firefox account hasn't been active in over a year. How do I go about changing the associated email address so I can sync my account and transfer settings to a new PC?
As of right now, it is not possible to change the email address connected to a sync account.<br>
Please create a new sync account with the new email address.

When my iPhone updated, it reloaded an old email address as my iCloud address and I don't know the password associated with that email address. How do I delete the old account and set up a new one with my new email?
To change the iCloud ID ("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. 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.
