  • HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    Hi sparkie,
    You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
    Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

    Hope this helps!

  • HT204053 How can I change my iCloud email address

    How can I change my iCloud email address

    Unfortunately it is not possible to change your primary mac.com or me.com email address for iCloud (See also Apple's FAQ: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs cannot be renamed), but you could stop using this account and create a new one.
    Another option would be to create up to three email alises for your current primary email address.
    Try this to create a new alias for your me.com address:
    Open the web interface of iCloud "www.icloud.com" with Safari
    Log in
    Open "Mail"
    Open "Preferences" (by clicking on the little button in the upper right corner)
    Go to "Accounts"
    Click on "Add an alias" (it would be another me.com address, you can not create new mac.com addresses since MobileMe was launched)
    Finished
    By the way: If you want to set up iCloud on your Mac you need Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • HT204053 How do you change the iCloud email address?

    Made a typo when adding to icloud and address is incorrect.  How do I change it?
    Thanks!

    You can't change an iCloud email address.  To create a new address you would have to create a new iCloud account.
    You can, however, create an email alias to use in your current iCloud account which will receive email in your current iCloud inbox.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a.

  • HT204053 How can I change my alternate Apple ID address

    Hi, I want to change the alternate Icould address that is on my Ex wife name not sure now why, its the @icould.com and the @me.com and I cant find any place where to do this.
    I want to keep my Apple ID but my Icloud shows with her Icloud Email, should I just do another Icloud account and will it let me use the same Apple ID Email or what should I do?
    Many Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's not really important whether it's the Apple ID or the alternate address, iCloud email addresses cannot be changed. You may wish to consider creating an alias to use instead. You can create aliases at the iCloud.com website.

  • HT204053 How can I change my "Alternate Apple ID"?

    I was reviewing my Apple ID and Security Questions when I noticed that in addition to my "primary Apple ID" that I use,  there is an "Alternate Apple ID" listed. It says on the Apple Security page that the Alternate ID can access all of the data that my Primary Apple ID can.  There is no option to delete or change it. Does any know how to get the Alternate ID of my account?
    Thanks, James

    Hi James,
    OK, wow - I was not aware of this Alternate Apple ID, but did some reasearch on your question, and saw some masked screen prints with an Alternate ID on it....apparently this is relatively new....I've never seen it before, so thanks for teaching me something new!
    So, from the reasearch I did it indicates that the alternate ID should be an @me.com (or maybe @icloud.com?) ID? If so, you cannot delete it. Here's an exerpt from an earlier post from jerome.Serpenti:
    "When you create an AppleID with an existing mail address (let's say [email protected]) you have the option to, next to this, create an iCloud mail address (or, in the past a me.com mail address/mac.com mail address).  You do this by going to iCloud on one of your devices and activating the mail tab.  This will allow you to create such a mail address and this mail address is then linked to your account as both an active, working mail address and an AppleID alias that you can use to login to all of Apple's services.
    This mail address, however, has to be new - it can't be existing"
    So your Alternate ID was created when you set up your new Apple ID. Does that correspond with what you are seeing?
    This makes sense to me because I have both an @me.com and an @icloud.com address. The @icloud.com address was automatically created for me, and exisits as a separate AppleID. I can sign into the Manage My Apple ID screen with it. It duplicates all of the information on my primary AppleID exactly. (it doesn't show up on my Primary screen as an Alternate ID because when I set up iCloud, I was using an existing AppleID  - my @me.com one).
    Does this info help with your question? Sorry - just learning this now myself, so only sharing what I was able to dig up.... All very interesting, though!
    Cheers,

  • HT204053 How do I change the verified email address that is associated with iMessage?

    I verified the wrong email address when I set up my iMessage on my iPod touch and now it won't let me change it. I can't even click on it. It's similar to how the number looks if you have an iPhone and you go to settings, iMessage, and send a receive. It's like the number has a check by it but you can't click on it. That's how the email looks on my iPod. But I need it to be changed.

    When there is only one email address entered on iPods and iPads the address is grayed out. Go to Settings/Messages/Send & Receieve and tap the Add Another Email..., add the correct email address and you should then be able to delete the incorrect address.

  • How do I change my alternate apple id from the old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. Thx

    How do I change my alternate apple id which is an old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. This old email address has already been removed from alternate email options but does not want to leave the alternate ID position! Thx

    Your apps were purchased under the old ID, so they will have to be deleted and re-purchased/downloaded under your new one.

  • HT204053 How do I change email address & password in iCloud?

    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.
