My icloud email address is misspelled. How can I correct this?

You can't change an iCloud (@mac, @me or @icloud) email address without creating a new account. You can, however, create an email alias with the correct spelling and use that. It will be linked to your current iCloud account and receive email at the same inbox. This guide explains how to create an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

My recovery email address is incorrect how can I change this

Hi
I have forgotten the answers to my security questions and the recovery email address is incorrect, how can I amend the recovery email address?
Thanks

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.
It isn't possible to add or change the rescue email address without supplying two of the answers.

How can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??, how can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??

hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

That's definitely not supposed to happen. You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out. The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/. You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number. Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge. I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

I still need help. i am technically challanged. i up graded my phonr to a 5 s. i backed up my phone on icloud. i cAn not get my notes or photos. it looks like the icloud email address is wrong. how can i change it or get my missing items

I need help. I am not good with technology. I upgraded phone today to 5 s I am missing notes and photos it looks like the cloud address is not correct. Any suggestions

Have you forgotten your password? - if so, you have a problem if the email address has gone dead.
If you know your password, go to the iTunes Store, click on Account. log in and you can change the associated email address.
If you don't know your password, and have no email address, you are going to have problems because it's difficult to see how Apple are going to identify you as the authorised owner of the account. Contact iTunes Support: go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

I cannot create a new sync account on my desktop because it tells me that my email address is invalid: how do I correct this?

I am trying to create a new sync account, but my email address is rejected as an "invalid address": what must i do to overcome that?

Hi,
One reason could be that the email address is already registered. You can check that by typing a few extra characters. If the email is already registered you can '''Connect''' to that, otherwise you may have to register with another account.

I can't seem to see sync my mac and iphone using iCloud with numbers and pages how can i correct this?

Hi
I've used Numbers and Pages for IOS for sometime now and when i use safari to look at my icloud account i can see all my files. Recently i bought Numbers for Mac and now whenever i create a spreadsheet on my mac i can't see it on my iphone but i can if i login to icloud. In fact i can only see about 16 files on my iphone when there is over 40 files.
Although i don't yet have pages for mac i now have a similar problem with Pages, whenever i edit a file or even create a file on IOS it doesn't appear in icloud.
I did think it was something to do with me not selecting backup to icloud so i then spent £14 to upgrade my storage to 15GB and that hasn't helped.
I've checked all the settings and can't see anythng that will cause the problem.
My iphone is running IOS 6 and my Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Does anyone know how to correct this mess?
Many thanks in advance.
Mick.

Problems with buttons and links at the top of the page not working can be caused by an extension like the Yahoo! Toolbar or a Babylon extension that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links and buttons in that part of the screen not clickable.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

TA22652 I purchased a new iPad and my daughter uses my iPad. On my account her email address appears. How can I get my account back?

I purchased a new iPad and my old iPad went to my daughter. I have a problem though in that my iTunes account has been taken over by her email address. If I want to redeem a voucher on my account her email address appears. How do I correct this?

Did you take a backup in between taking the photos and deleting them ? If you did then try restoring to that backup (you will need to restore the whole iPad, you can't just do the Photos app) and they should be put back.
Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
When you create new albums directly on your iPad and 'copy' photos into them you are effectively just creating pointers to the orginal photos, you aren't creating copies of the photos - so if you then delete the original photo you will also be deleting all pointers to and therefore be removing it from all albums that you've copied it into (you should have got a warning when deleting the photo that that would happen).

Two apple I.D., one with the .me email address I want, how can I delete it so that I can use that .me address on my other account?

I have two apple I.D., one with the .me email address I want, how can I delete it so that I can use that .me address on my other account
Or is it possible to transfer the purchases (apps) to my new .me account so that I can re-download them in the future without having to switch accounts?

You can't do this, and you can't transfer purchases between accounts. There is no conflict about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (the ID you've been using for iTunes) and using the other ID for iCloud.

In Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not. How does this happen and how can I correct this problem

n Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not. How does this happen and how can I correct this problem

You said:
I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.
...and:
Are you saying that my address book has not been hacked into? That others are getting these email addresses from another source?
This confuses me. Are you saying that you are receiving bogus e-mails from some of your contacts, or are you saying that they are receiving bogus e-mails from you?
If the latter, there are a number of reasons that people might be getting e-mail from you. Malware, though technically possible, is extremely unlikely. See Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!
If the former, that's rather unusual. The only decent explanation I can think of is that a bunch of your Windows-using contacts got infected with something and their machines are being used to spam everyone in their contact lists, which would include you.

TS1702 When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

What you are getting is the AppleID (AppleID can be an email adress) used at the time of the purchase of this app. It is an identifiant allowing Apple to link your purchase to your account.
If you want to manage associated email, you can go at https://appleid.apple.com but the AppleID could never be modified.
I do not know if in your case, it is just that you no longer use your old email address or that you actually a 2 AppleID. In any case, you will have to remember the password related to the account used for your purchase. If you don't, just use the link above to try to retreive your password.

I cannot get my email on my iphone4 ever since I had the recent iCloud upgrade. Very frustrating. How can I correct this?, I cannot get my email on my iphone4 ever since I had the recent iCloud upgrade. Very frustrating. How can I correct this?

I cannot receive or send any email on my iphone4 since I installed the "upgrade" recently! Very frustrating! How can I correct this. It also happened to my iPad but this corrected itself in a few days?

It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. My aol account sends out my full name instead of using the email address. How can I correct this?

I have a iPhone 4. I have 3 email accounts. When I send mail from my aol account it sends my full name and not the email address acount. How can I change so my name does not appear and my user name appears?

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

I misspelled a last name in my Contacts. I corrected the spelling, but when I receive an email from this person, the "From" is still the misspelled name. How can I correct this?

I misspelled a last name in my Contacts. I corrected the spelling, but when I receive an email from this person, the "From" is still the misspelled name. How can I correct this?

Problem not solved. I just received an new email from the person involved. Same misspelled name in the "From" field. I did as Paul_31 suggested and then quit and restarted mail.

I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

That's because you can't change your iCloud email address.
You can change the AppleID address associated with your iCloud account at http://appleid.apple.com/
Or you can setup a new email alias to your existing iCloud address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
But you cannot change the primary email address for an existing iCloud account. If you want a completely new iCloud email address you need to create a new iCloud account using a different AppleID.
