How do I change my iCloud email address & password?

To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account. To do this, 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 can I change email address on my ICloud account? It won't let me change old e-mail address.

How can I change email address on Icloud? It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

HT204053 how do I change email address on icloud for my phone? somehow I have another email address on my laptop and want them to be the same plus I don't know the old/phone password

How do I change the email associated with Icloud on my phone. It's not my mail apple id, its and old one and I don't know the password anymore. I have another apple ID associated with my ipad and laptop and the icloud works great with that. I just did the new iphone update and now its constantly asking for the icloud/apple id - the one I don't even know the password for anymore and it keeps popping up all the time.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How can i change email address for security questions and password resets

I've noticed that my password reset requests are going to an old email acount. In fact, i am not sure where they are going.
the real issue is that i don't see a way to change it when i am logged in (it took me many tries to actually log back in) to my apple id account.
I've changed alternate email accounts, but again i don't see a way to change my destination email account for security section of the account.
Also i would rather reset these via text (ATT has this option for my cell phone account reset and i love it). I don't see an option like that from Apple at all.
Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated. Don't want to struggle with password resets every time i need to get in.

If you're able to supply two of your security answers, click here and follow the instructions to change your rescue email address.
If not, you need to contact Apple.

How can I change email address RIM sends mail to?

I have two emails, one that's strictly friends and family, and one for everything else. A while back I changed the "everything else" address to gmail. Although I've never submitted my personal address to RIM (other than setting up that email on my phone), they've begun spamming my personal mail with daily "notifications." I don't mind getting the mail, but 1. I don't want it coming to my personal address, and 2. I find it very disturbing that RIM harvested my personal account info to use at their convenience. I see in the emails I receive I can "unsubscribe," although they'll still send me mail they deem important. I don't want that, I want to give them my new everything address, so they'll stay out of my personal acct. I have thoroughly searched their site, but see no way to submit this new address, or to set up my acct preferences for my interaction with RIM. Please tell me how to change my address with RIM, or to at least contact them, not about my phone, but about their service (there doesn't appear to be any such option among the "Contact Us" selections they offer). Thanks very much!

Notifications of what?
I promise you, from all I've seen, you would have had to check a box in something stating you want to receive updates, etc., from BlackBerry. They certainly haven't "harvested" your email address from simply being loaded to your BlackBerry.
You need to unsuscribe from the current emails you're getting. Even if you don't want to.
You probably downloaded an OS or file update or Desktop Software somewhere that you clicked to agree to receive updates.

How do I change email address in iTunes?

I have changed email accounts and how do I change my Itunes email? Do I have to open a new account?

Don't create a new Apple ID. Just go to the Apple ID link provided above and select the "Manage your account" link under "Already have an Apple ID". You can change the email address associated with your current Apple ID.

HT204053 How to create another email address

I presently have an me.com email address, but would like to make a second one with an me.com host name. Anyone know how?

@me.com addresses can no longer be created; you can create up to three 'email aliases' which are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address, but these will take the form @icloud.com.
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
@icloud.com addresses are still being rolled out and you may find you cannot create an alias until the process is complete.

HT204053 How do I change my apple id for iCloud on an iPad 2? Mine won't let me

How do I change my iCloud id email address on the iPad 2? I don't have the option too, and I keep getting notifications that iCloud cannot back up my files. I change my apple id, so I don't understand as to why it didn't change it on iCloud. Help! (:

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Changing email address, and reconfiguring iCloud

Hey you guys! I recently changed the email address that I was using for my iCloud. Now my iPhone still has the iCloud information with my old email address, and to change that, it appears that I have to delete the iCloud account and re-add it. The only problem is: when I try to delete the account, it asks me for my iCloud password, but it's still linked to the old email address, so even though my password is correct, the email address no longer is, and thus it tells me that the password is incorrect, and I can't delete the account, and reconfigure iCloud on my phone. Suggestions s'il vous plait?
