HT204053 Need to fix my icloud email address

Need to change my email address for my icloud.  It is sending the instructions for verifications to the wrong hotmail address, so it is going no where and I can not verify my account until I get the instructions.

If you can't resolve the issue at appleid.apple.com you'll need to call apple:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • I need to change my iCloud email address.  I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there.  Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account.  I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore.

    I need to change my iCloud email address.  I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there.  Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account.  I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there.  To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in.  I don't remember the password for the old email.  I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted.  And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store. 

    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 and some other circumstances.
    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. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    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.

    I need to change my iCloud email address
    The answers to this post seem to refer to an iphone.
    My question is regarding setting up an icloud account and password an my new MacBookPro. Everytime I click iClouds in Settings I am asked for the password for <[email protected]>.....an email I did not setup.       
    Please help.
    An iCloud account is an iCloud account. It is not computer or iPad or iPhone specific.
    Go here -> https://iforgot.apple.com
    Also, you can keep that account and simply set up an alias for email.

  • HT204053 I need to change my icloud email address

    Started a business and would like to change my icloud email address to my business name. Please help

    Once created, you cannot change your main iCloud email address.  You would have to create a new iCloud account to do that, and the email address would end in @icloud.com.
    If you want to keep your current iCloud account, you would have to create and alias email address as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.  This will be a new @icloud.com email address that will deliver email to your current iCloud inbox.  Just be aware that an alias address is permanently tied to the iCloud account you create it in.  It cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, or moved to another iCloud account.

  • I need to change my iCloud email address

    i guess my story is use craigslist with your ipad  cautiously. somehow, hackers on craigslist got ahold of my email address, now all i receive is half-naked women wanting me to click on their link (pun intended!). Seriously, I don't want this. How did all these robots get my email address? it's got to stop.
    How do i change my icloud email address so all of their emails return to them? I need to shut it down.
    thanks for any/all help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't change your iCloud mail address. Use Mail on your Mac to create rules (mail preferences) to automatically delete the mail you don't want.

  • I need to change my iCloud email address as its totally unsuitable for my business use

    Can I change my iCloud email address?
    I do have an alias but I need this to be the default as when busy I forget to change from the unsuitable one.

    1. Just store your photos on your Mac or PC.
    2. You can create a new account in "Settings > iCloud" or a secondary account just for Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Safari, Find My iPhone in "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > iCloud"

  • HT204053 Can I use my icloud email address as an apple id?

    Can I use my icloud email address as an apple id?

    Are you sure?
    Copying from https://discussions.apple.com///thread/4434456?start=0&tstart=0
    "I noticed the following :
    If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad(must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
    Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because theiCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
    There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's andiCloud accounts.
    Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed."

  • HT204053 Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

    Hi There
    Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

    Whenever you create a new icloud email it is an Apple ID, but if you previously had an Apple ID you cannot use the new email to replace the old one. You have to abandon the old accout and you will lose all the content you had with that account. But what I did was upload all my itunes to amazon cloud, these were the only purchases I had. I already bought books from kindle and I now rent movies from amazon instant video. Everytime I log in I use my icloud email and password. I just used it to sign in to support communities.
    The notification that you posted about changing your Apple ID was present when I created my icloud email and made the change.

  • TS3988 I need to change my icloud email address

    How do I go about changing my email address on my icloud?

    This article explains how to change the primary email address associated with an Apple ID (an iCloud ID is also an Apple ID): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  Note: you cannot change an ID that is an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
    After changing the ID, you will need to change it on your devices by going to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then signing back in with the changed ID.  (If you are signed into the account on a computer, sign out/then back in in System Preferences>iCloud on a Mac; or on the iCloud control panel for Windows on a PC.)

  • HT5622 I need to change my iCloud email address help?

    I need help with iCloud account. Got a new email address need to change In iCloud very frustrated can not figure it out. Help

    First, if you haven't done so already, go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and manage your Apple ID to make the necessary changes.  Then, to change the iCloud ID on your iOS devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • I need help resetting my iCloud email address. i have erased all y data to solve a bug problem. I re-entered my email incorrectly; putting hitmail instead hotmail.

    Please help. I had clitch on my iphone. i was advised to reset my phone to factory settings. I successfully erased all the data. when i came to restore the software and back up data on to my phone I accidentally put the wrong email address whilst setting up my iCloud account.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can't use @me.com and @icloud.com emails as an Apple ID because Apple doesn't allow that, but you can add it as a secondary mail address
