HT204053 I need to change my email account, i get alot of spam mail

I get a lot of spam mail,  what should I do?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
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 > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • How to change my name that displays at beginning of an email? Do I need to change my email account name?

    My wife and I use the same email. I need to change the name that displays at the beginning of an email to a joint name rather than just my name. We use AOL for our email. Do I need to change the name on the AOL email account to effect this change? or is there a way to effect this change in Firefox? Thanks for help.

    The change must be made in the AOL settings. See the following page for directions.

  • EA4500 - How do I change the email account the router is associated with in Cisco Connect Cloud?

    I have an EA4500 runnign the latest firmware that supports the Cisco Connerct Cloud and I need to change the email account the router is associated with. How do I do this? (Online Help does not explain.)

    We plan to deploy over 350 of these routers across the country. In our situation, it would not make sense to associate all these routers with one email account or even, at the other extreme, a separate email account for each router. In addition, you have created a management nightmare for us if we pursue this option, because anytime we need to make a change to the email account associated with the router, we would need to re-configure it manually. We need to manage these routers separately and outside of the Cisco Connect Cloud option. I understand that I can downgrade the firmware to the prior release, but this is a temporary fix (eventually security vulnerabilities will be discovered that will force a firmware upgrade - in fact, you have already had one) and I would like to request an option to manage the router outside of the Cisco Connect Cloud email associations. Will this be possible in the near future? Otherwise, we will need to consider another vendor for this project.
    Hopefully this should be possible in the future.
    I believe that I can make it

  • How do I change the email account that sends photos?

    I have 2 email accounts on my phone. Currently it sends photos from my business account. I want it to send from my personal account. Any way to switch this?

    Richard,
    You need to change which email account is the default. Go to Settings -> Mail -> Default Account and choose your personal account. This will now be the default account whenever an account is not specified; i.e. sending links from Safari, emailing photos, etc. To send an email from your Business account you'll need to enter mail, touch the business account, and then choose to create a new email.

  • I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account both on my itunes and iphone. how do I do this without completely wiping the phone?

    I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account on both my itunes and iphone. How do I do this without completely wiping the phone.
    Also I tried to update to iOS6 and it is asking for my password under my old signin and locked me out of my phone.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
    If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • I need to change the iCloud account email address.

    I need to change the iCloud account email address as this email is now canceled. Can't seem to find how ;(

    If you mean the non-Apple email address which is your login, you can change it at http://appleid.apple.com - click on 'Manage your account'. You can't change the @icloud.com address you set up when you opened the account.

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • How do I change my email account from IMAP to POP on my MacBook Pro

    My email provider has changed and no longer uses Yahoo IMAP, so I need to change the email to a POP account but my MacBook automatically chooses Yahoo IMAP when I try to create a new account.  Any suggestions how I can change from IMAP to POP?

    My email provider is BT and they have just moved me from BT Yahoo Mail to BT Mail.  I deleted the Yahoo email account and then used the Other Account option to input BT Mail, but unfortunately my MacBook decided that it still wanted me to use BT Yahoo.  So for several weeks I keep getting locked out of my mail and get the message box "Can't access mail' or something like that and wants me to put in the Yahoo mail password which is no longer valid.  I don't actually want to use POP (and actually have no idea what IMAP AND POP do!), but when I contacted BT support they suggested that I needed to use POP for BT Mail.  However having trawled the BT site I think what I was told was a load of rubbish.  So I suppose the real question is how to get rid of Yahoo Mail.

  • Need to change my email

    I need to change the email in iCloud

    Or you could try to use an alias
    Every iCloud user is allowed up to 5 other e-mail addresses which would all be attached to the main e-mail account you have.
    Log into iCloud
    Click on Mail
    Click on the preferences button on top
    Choose Preferences from drop down menu
    Go to Accounts - aliases will have blue icons
    On left, you can click ADD AN ALIAS
    You can add up to five aliases
    Once you max out and decide to add more aliases, you'll have to delete some of the existing ones,
    then you'll have to wait for 7 days before you can add up to five again
    In iCloud, you can even pick, which of the aliases would become your default address when sending e-mails out.
    NOTE: when logging in, you still must use the main account as your credentials. Aliases will not let you to log into iCloud, I think.

  • I need to change the email address in iCloud

    I need to change the email address in iCloud

    What do you mean? - the address you use for login or the @icloud.com email address created when you opened your iCloud account?
    LOGIN
    If your login is an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address you cannot change it. If it is a non-Apple email address you can change it, but please be careful to follow the procedure outlined here:
    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.
    EMAIL ADDRESS
    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

  • Can I change the email account on one of my iPads which my husband uses without effecting anything else?

    I have a new iPad 3 and I want to give my iPad 1 to my husband but to keep some of my apps on his ipad(1) we decided that we will use my Apple ID for buying apps/iTunes. But if I change the email account on the old iPad will this effect anything else in either of the iPads?

    No.
    1. You can keep your account in both of iPad.
    2. You can sign your email in your new iPad.
    3. You can sign your husband's email in old iPad which is your Apple ID without any problem.
    4. If you and your husband want to keep personal privacy, please make sure don't use same cloud. Which means, your husband old iPad needs to sign his individual iTunes account (Apple account). The one also can sign your account for downloading your apps. After dowload apps, you better sign off. (You can sign in/off anytime for downloading purpose.) Second, better don't sync email. Close that function first where is under in "system" setting.

  • I have changed the email account for icloud but my sistem preferences windows is blocked on the previous email account

    I have changed the email account for icloud but the sistem preferences window is blocked on the previous email account and it does't work.
    The sistem preferences window doesn't accept no one passwords.

    You will need to sign out completely in System Preferences>iCloud (click the 'Sign Out' button) and sign back in again with the new ID.
