HT201356 How can I change my EMail adress on iCloud?

I just purchased a new iMac 21.5" and upgraded it to Yosemity O.S.
I set it up using one eMail adress (hotmail) and password. I have, now changed it to a different eMail adress (gmail) and password. But when I try to log in to iCloud it still shows my old eMail adress and it won't accept my new password. I believe that I need to change the email adress but how can I do this?
Please help.

Hey Sblan2,
According to the following document, you are unable to change the iCloud email address.
from: Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
However, one option you have would be to create an email alias:

HT201342 how can i change my email address on icloud account, it is already changed on my apple id

How can I change my email address on icloud, I have already changed it on my apple id, but it still is asking for lmy old email and password and I can not back up or anything?

Hello RousePryor
If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.

How can I change my email adress on Synch?

How can I change my E-Mail adress on Firefox Synch, because I have lost my controll over this mailadress and need to change it. Could you please tell me how I can do?
Thanks

This apparently is a problem with the system. The question has been hanging out there for 3 years with no response.
I changed my Apple ID account email address, and the store and iBooks and such are working great, but I cannot seem to get iCloud to work. Every day a message pops up on my Macbook to sync with iCloud, but has the original email address, and no matter what I attempt it will not change it without warning me that it will delete everything (Notes, Contacts, whatever) from the cloud and my Macbook if I do that. This warning is not apperaing on my iPod or iPad, so it is strange, and they are both seeming to back up to the cloud (or at least iTunes *says* they are).
I did make backups of the data to stand-alone archives, and I have an iPod and iPad I could take offline to keep the data preserved, but this is irritating.
I have not contacted Apple yet, as I don't have time to sit on a phone call, and they don't seem to take emails anymore.

How can i change my email on my iCloud if i've changed my apple id?

i changed my apple id how can i change my icloud to that emiail too? and i cannot sign out of icloud either

Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change (you don't need to verify the address). Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud), and use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. 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 do I change my email for icloud without knowing the password for my old email address?

David, I have a similar issue but I am still running into a road block. I have had an account with apple for email since before 2005 and it was perfect for that moment in life. I used my name to set up as my appleID. [email protected] It has now since been year and years later. I am married and have my own business. I would like my new apple email to be nonnaiandd.icloud.com. When going to set up a new apple ID as you suggested. It asks for a valid email address as the apple ID. Well, my valid email address is my icloud account ([email protected]) This email is what would be my primary email in the account. I want a new apple ID and new email. How do I proceed? When I do a new apple Id is still needs an email.. I'm frustrated. What to do. I wish I could simply change my account's apple ID and email to match to the new [email protected] Help. Thank you.

How can I change my email name on icloud?

I want to change my email address on icloud but it is grayed out and will not let me change it. Do I need to delete my account and set up a new one?

First you go to https://appleid.apple.com, log in, and change the email address on the account. Then on the phone go to Settings/iCloud, scroll down and delete the account. You will need to enter the password for the old email address. Then go back to Settings/iCloud and add it back using the new email address.

How can I change my email on my iCloud account?

I created my icloud acount a few years ago with and has a old email that is no longer in service. How can I update my icloud account with a new email address?

If you're trying to change your iCloud account on your device and are running iOS 7, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, 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, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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 can I change Primary Email Address to icloud email?

I have an apple id been using for many years. I would like to change the primary email address. I would like to create a new icloud email address and use that as primary email for my apple id.
When I try to do this in the Manage Apple ID it says that I cannot pick an email address associate with apple domain.
How do I do this???
Essentially I would like to start over with an icloud email address but keep all my existing itunes purchases etc. If I create a new Apple ID with icloud email id I am hosed and cannot copy over my purchases. If I stay with existing Apple ID, I can change primary email address but I can't use icloud email.
Any suggestions??

While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
• Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
• Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
• Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
• Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
• The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
• Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
That's all you have to do.
