HT5622 How do I change my e-mail address on my iphone for my icloud account

The e-mail address showing on my iphone for my icloud account isn't correct, I no longer use the e-mail and no longer have a password or access to it. I have amended my icloud account on a PC but it still shows the old e-mail on my phone, its driving me crazy...please help!

Welcome to the Apple Community Lisa.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
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 can i change my e-mail address on an iPad for my iTunes account?

    I posted this notice so that I could pass on this fantastic solution.  I was almost driven crazy until I stumbled upon the answer.  VarReal was the one who gave me the correct answer.  I didn't have to erase thing.  Here's how it's done for an iPad:
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Find the iTunes & App Store Icon and click on the icon
    3. You should see your apple ID...click on the ID and a window will come up
    4.The window should have a list......one option is to sign out...do so.
    4. Now you have to sign in so that you can access your App or iTunes...fill in the new apple Id and password and sign in.
    5. Yippie, you're done!!
    Soooooooooooooooooo simple!!!!!!!!

    I think this may be what you want. Open iTunes go to Store in the menu bar. At the bottom choose *View MY Account*. This will let you sign into your account and you can then pick *Edit Account Info* Make you change and save it. That should take care of it.

  • How can i change my e-mail address from old provider to new

  • How do I change the e-mail address associated with Facetime on my iPhone?

    On my iPhone, under Settings -> Facetime, if I switch this to "on", I am immediately prompted to provide a password assocaited to an old e-mail address. How do I change this e-mail address?
    My app store account is correct, and I don't think this old e-mail is lurking anywhere else on my phone.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, but I did not see this space to enter a new e-mail as Facetime was set to "off" and every time I turned it on it wanted me to provide a passowrd for my old, non-existent AppleID.
    I just noticed, however, that if you just let it fail to log in with the old e-mail three times, THEN it give you a chance to provide a new e-mail via a new prompt "SIgn in with your Apple ID?", which worked.
    So lesson learned: let if fail first, then you can fix it,but not before it fails. :-/

  • Question about iCloud. How do I change my e-mail address, I have the wrong one and want to change it.

    question about iCloud.  How do I change my e-mail address, I got the wrong address.

    There are a variety of options available to you, including creating an email "alias" or changing the email address associated with your iCloud ID.
    For all practical purposes your iCloud email address and Apple ID are interchangeable. To change your Apple ID read Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID.
    If you simply created an Apple ID in error, you might consider abandoning it altogether and creating a new one. On the other hand, if you already used that Apple ID to purchase iTunes or other digital content, don't create a new Apple ID, because any purchases you already made are inexorably linked to the Apple ID used to make them.

    How do I change the e-mail address default on the icloud without losing the contacts saved?

    Each iCloud account can only have a single iCloud email account.  As such, you can't have a different email account on your iPod if it is using the same iCloud account. 
    You can create additional alias email addresses within this iCloud account, but they will all receive email in the same inbox as the primary icloud email address.

    You cannot merge accounts.
    You need to sign into the old account on your computer.

  • How can I change the e-mail address that shows when I try to order from iBooks?

    Hi.  I recently had to change my e-mail address, and successfully changed my Apple ID to reflect the new e-mail.  However, while trying to order a book through iBooks today, I noticed that I was asked for my password and that my old e-mail was showing.  How can I change the old address to the new one so that I can order from iBooks?  Thank you.

    Hi, fromsouth, and thank you for your reply.  When I go to store, there is no place that says "sign out" so I can't do this.  My old email is showing, and when I click on it I am asked for my password.  I tried my old password that I used with that email, but was told it was incorrect.  This is so frustrating!  I can't do any ordering on my iPad until this problem is solved.  Thanks again.

    On the voicemail screen, click Greeting at the top left and record a new one. Your carrier will also have a special number you can call from the phone (usually includes a hash or star) to get to and change voicemail options.

    I've changed my e-mail address but iPhoto defaults to the old one when I try to e-mail photos directly from iPhoto

    iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->

    Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

  • How do I change my E-Mail address (which is also my Apple ID)?

    I currently have an Apple ID which is also my current E-Mail address.
    I am switching ISPs and need to change my E-Mail address to the new provider.
    (E-Mailaddress@old provider.com will become E-Mailaddress@new provider.net) (Switching from Cox Cable to my city's fiber-optic system)
    If I do that, will I still have access to my current paid & free apps on my iphone 4S?

    I currently do not have any music nor other purchases on that accout.
