HT204053 how do i change and activate my icloud email address

How can i change my icloud email address and also do i have to activate it as i have never recieved any mail on it ??????
Does it have to be an @me.com account

Unfortunately you cannot change an @me.com address. Each account will require verification, if you have not yet verified your account:
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.

how do you change your (mac/me/icloud) email address

You cannot change an iCloud email address unless you create a new iCloud account. You can, however, create an email alias, which is an alternate email address that will receive incoming email in your existing iCloud email inbox. To do this, see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Just keep in mind that once you creat an alias, you can't later use this to create a new iCloud account or move it to another account, even if you delete the alias.

How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

When do you get prompted for this ID? If you are asked for an AppleID
you do not know during Activation, contact the seller for assistance. Only
the person who set the Activation Lock can remove it. If the seller refuses
or does not know the requested AppleID and passcode, return the iPhone
for a full refund as it is useless. There is no work around for Activation Lock,
The person who set the lock needs to follow the actions in this link:
Prepare your device to sell or give away
You can check if Activation Lock is the problem here:
https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
That link will only tell you if the iPhone is Activation Locked - it will not provide
any information about the source of the lock, nor can you get any information
from any source other than the original owner of the iPhone/person who set
the lock.

Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. 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.)
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

Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone. Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

HT204053 how do i change my i cloud e-mail address

how do i change my i cloud e-mail address?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
If youi have already done that and are wanting to replicate the change on your iOS device:
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

How do I get possession of an iCloud email address?

At some point in the not too distant past, I remember having to create an iCloud email address. It will be associated with my apple ID, but I cant use it. I know noone else has it because the email server gives a bounceback.
How do I get in touch with Apple? I'm not stupid, and they seem to have made it as diffucult as possible.

Ah that was it: MobileMe
That's what your problem is: you had a MobileMe account with the address [email protected] but presumably failed to migrate it before last August.
If you sign in with that address at System Preference>iCloud and check Mail there you can reactivate it and you will get an @icloud.com address (I'm not entirely sure whether you will actually be able to use the @me.com address as you didn't migrate earlier - you will have to check). You can't shift this address in either version to another account.

How can you find out who an iCloud email address is registered to?

I have been being harassed by someone with an iCloud email address and I was wondering if there is any way to find out who it could be registered to, or at least an IP address?
Thank you in advance.

Realize too that is it very easy to fake a sender email address. Using the e-mail address to identify the harasser would be as reliable as reporting a harasser on the street to police and telling them the person had told you their address was 300 Smith Avenue.

HT204053 My icloud account email address is my old email address. How do I change it to my current email address?

my icloud account email address is my old email address. how do I change it?

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 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. 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 iPhone 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.

How do I change my Apple ID recovery email address?
