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!

    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.

    Hi mousemom18,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you don't have access to your previous email address you used for your Apple ID, then you can simply change your Apple ID email address by following the directions in the article below.

  • HT204053 how can i move an icloud email address from one ipod to another?

    Hi
    My kids have ipods and wanted icloud activated.  Foolishly I set up an icloud email account but used my son's name on my daughter's ipod.  How can I switch the icloud email account to my son's ipod?
    Thanks,

    I don't really understand iCloud, but I have an Apple ID since both my kids are underage (8 and 11).  They share my Apple ID, but have different Ipods.  Can/Should I have separate iCloud emails for them?  To recap, I have 1 Apple account, but have 2 kids, a boy and a girl.  How do I have separate id's for their individual ipods using icloud when I have one Apple ID?

    help please

    If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), 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 iDevice, 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 my primary email address to the one that I use for my rescue email address?

    I no longer use the email address associated with my apple ID account and the rescue email address I used is now my primary email address for everything, since it its not allowing me to just simply change my email address since its my rescue email address i want it changing to, can it be done and how?! :S Thank you!

    You will need to remove it as your rescue email : log into your account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the 'Password And Security' section on your account's screen, and answer the two security questions that show - you should then be taken to another screen where you can change or remove your rescue email address.
    Then try logging out of your account and then log back in and see if you can then use it as your primary email address.

  • How can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??, how can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??

    hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

    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.

  • How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a spelling mistake when setting it up?

    How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a small spelling mistake when creating my new iCloud email address originally?

    When a user creates an icloud account, they use an Apple ID, like [email protected] to define it.  If this use of an ID is what you mean, then NO you can't change it without creating a new ID and thus new account.
    But if all you want to do is have a different email address associated with the account, then that you can do by defining an alias email address.  Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Mail page.  In the upper right there's a cog wheel, click that and then choose preferences, then accounts.  In the icloud account, you can add a new alias.  Note that it must be of the format  [email protected]

  • The email address used to Sign into my icloud is no longer active, this is different than my apple id email address though. How can I change my icloud email address to my current apple id email address

    When I received my iphone 4s 3 years ago the my apple id and icloud email addresses were the same, it was a student email from the college I attended. This account is no longer active, but when I changed my apple id email address to a current email (gmail account) the icloud address didn't change over. I now have no ability to sign into icloud on my phone and icloud hasn't been updated in nearly a year. I wanted to figure out this problem before I upgraded to the Iphone 6 this December. Is there any way this is possible?

    You should still be able to use your college email address, just log in with your details.
