HT204053 Change email for iCloud

My email changed quickly and I'm not sure how to change in iCloud.  I was able to change iTunes, but not iCloud?

If you mean you need to change your iCloud ID on your device (which looks like an email address), go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • How to change email for iCloud on Iphone?

    I have changed my email adress in my ID but my Iphone is still showing my old, I can change it in the ITunes store but not in iCloud

    Hello _Findus_,
    The steps below can help get your iCloud account updated correctly.
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation.  It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address.  It says its in use.

    Hi Guys
    I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine.  To understand my issue let me explain how it started.  My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected]  when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account.  This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated.  [email protected] is the correct email address and works.  A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
    I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud.  this did not send the mail.  I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
    I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected]  it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active.  However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID. 
    I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
    I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
    I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
    any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • I changed my email for iCloud calendars won't merge

    It's pretty frustrating! because I have no idea how to fix it. And I had a lot of new music I added on there. 

  • HT204053 I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized. Any suggestions?

    I changed my apple id, but my ipad does not allow me to change it for Icloud, so I can't  edit my account so I can access Icloud. I was told at Apple store that I could use both Apple ids, but my old one is no longer recognized on the appleid website, so my password for my old apple id won't work.
    Any suggestions?

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • Can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac

    can't verify email for iCloud on iPad or Mac / not getting email (I've apple ID)

    I have seen this issue brought up many times here in the community and decided to share my experience. I too could get verification. I had an AppleId before iCloud, it was used for Apple Store purchases. I made sure that the email I was using for the ID was not the same as what I was using for the ICloud ID. Next I signed in to my ICloud ID at
    Appleid.apple.com
    I changed my email to a secondary e-mail I had. It was a gmail account.
    I then verified that email address by logging into gmail and responding to email sent by apple.
    I logged back into iCloud account and added an additional email to my account. I added the email that previously wasn't receiving the verification.
    I then verified that email address by checking and responding to verifying email sent by apple.
    I then logged back into iCloud account. Both emails I entered were verified. (primary and secondary)
    I EDIT ' ed the primary using the secondary email address.
    This removed my secondary address and made it my primary.
    It was verified previously so I was done.
    I went into settings>iCloud and a verifying email was sent.
    It worked.
    It may seem like a lot to do, but it works.

  • I've already changed email for my apple id more than 6 months. But 2-3 months ago until now I've recieved and email to ask apple id confirmation from me. I never confirm anything because I don't know,the link's attached, it's legal or illegal.

    Dear Apple support team,
    I've already changed email for my apple id more than 6 months. But 2-3 months ago until now I've recieved and email to ask my apple id confirmation from me about 6-8 emails. I never confirm anything because I don't know,the link's attached, it's legal or illegal.
    The latest link (just be sent to my email 1 hr. ago) : http://www.smartpixeladv.com/proma/Login/index.html 
    Text is:
    Dear Customer,
    We recently noticed an unusual activity in your iTunes account. Please complete the process to confirm your
    informations.
    Confirm Now>
    This link will expire three days after this email was sent.
    If you don’t make this request, your account will be blocked for security reasons.
    Apple Support​
    In my opinion, i think      "http://"   should be   "https://"  right?  Or Apple should show the link on your website  that we can find, re- check and click by ourselve. Or  Apple should do "How to confirm apple id" on your main page. ( in fact  i'm not sure you already done "How to" on your website yes or not, because I cannot find it)
    The apple id is sensitive security, it's concerned personal security and any credit card payment so please understand me that's why i must to interrupt your team to help me to solve this problem. I'm scared my account will be blocked. Please advice me.
    Wassa. (BKK)

    It is a phishing attempt to get your Apple ID and Password.
    You should forward it to Apple : [email protected]

  • I have changed my e-mail address on the apple ID website and have been able to change it for ICloud.  My e-mail address (ID) has not changed for I-tunes and therefore, I can't install updates. ??

    If this is on your computer's iTunes then log out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If on an iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

  • Cannot receive verification email for iCloud

    I cannot get the verification email for icloud. does anyone have any ideas apple dont appear to.....

    The email should be sent to the primary email address you used when setting up the Apple ID you are using to set up your iCloud account.  If you aren't sure what email address that is check on My Apple ID.  Be sure to check both your inbox and your spam/junk folder.  If it isn't there go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
    If you have attempted to resend the verification email multiple times and it still hasn't arrived, try contacting iTunes store support here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They deal with Apple ID issues all the time and can probably help you with this.
    You can check to see if you have a different ID by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625, but the verification email should be sent to the email address associated with the ID you are using to set up your iCloud account.

  • Verfication email for icloud

    I have resent the verification email for icloud account multiple times but it never arrives. Very frustrating. Has anyone got any ideas?

    Be sure you are checking the email account that you used when setting up your iCloud ID.  Be sure to check both the inbox and your spam/junk folder.
    If it isn't there, and you've already tried resending it, all you can do is wait it out.

  • Lost verification email for iCloud.

    I Have accidently deleted verification email for  icloud.

    Howdy Mark,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Take a look at the article linked below, it answers your question about what to do if you don’t have the verification email.

  • Haven't received verification email for iCloud

    My email for iCloud still says verifying. But I haven't received an email yet either.

    Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.  More details here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5404.
