How do I change it so that my iPhone is not showing my old email address and shows my new and verified email address? Many thanks to all in advance

If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.

My hp computer died and took my itunes library with it...how can I retrieve my songs that I uploaded to itunes on my old computer? Thank you for your help

My HP computer running Windows XP died. The hard drive crashed and took my itunes library with it. I now have a new HP desktop running Windows 7 and can not get my full itunes library only what had been purchased. I am trying to retrieve all the songs we had including what we had uploaded from CDs etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That would be easy and ideal but that is not the case here. The computer was repaired in Nov and then crashed in April completely. Thought it had been backed up to icloud but not very savvy with that. I have a sectored hard drive that was salvaged from the crash but having a difficult time reading and locating files on it.
Just wondering if there is a way to retrieve my itunes library to another computer????

Search box entries changed to UK overnight?? as in yahoo.co.uk and Ebay.co.uk..how can I change it back to US?

No other details. The search box on upper right of display suddenly changed from US to Uk. I didn't have anything to do with it. I just noticed it a couple of days ago when I was going to search Google. I can't seem to change them back. It actually added Chambers(UK) and I never heard of it.

Sounds that the locale got changed somehow to en-GB.
You can get the en-US Firefox version here:

I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

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.

My iCloud is defaulting to an old Hotmail address that I no longer use, my apple ID is currently functioning fine with a gmail account. I'm not able to change my iCloud email on my phone or on desktop... Any advice?

My iCloud is defaulting to an old Hotmail address that I no longer use, my apple ID is currently functioning fine with a gmail account. I'm not able to change my iCloud email on my phone or on desktop... Any advice?

You would have to change your Apple ID back to your old hotmail address (https://appleid.apple.com ) in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" and change the iCloud ID. After you changed it back and verified your old hotmail address you should be able turn off "Find My iPhone" and to temporarily delete your iCloud account from your devices. After that you can change your Apple ID back to your gmail address again. After it is verfied, you could add back your iCloud account by using your gmail address.

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.

How do I change my iCloud email address as it is different to my Apple ID which I recently changed?

I recently changed my Apple ID password however it didn't allow me to change my iCloud email address either so they are both different and I can no longer sign into iCloud, what shall I do to change the email address on my iCloud to the same as my Apple ID one?

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 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.

HT4759 I'm getting a lot of spam in my icloud account and would like to change my icloud email address, how can I do this?

After having a mac.com email for nearly 10 years I fell for a scam email and now am getting spammed daily in my email account. I use this email account for everything and would like to either block the spam emails - although that's hard since they change their email address daily - or just get a new icloud email address. I've researched this and have not found this easy. Any suggestions on how to change my icloud email account? Keep in mind all my devices are connected through this email including iTunes. Any help is appreciated - thanks!

To get a new iCloud address you would have to create a new iCloud account and migrate your iCloud data to the new account. If you want to do this, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, and when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data choose Keep on [My iDevice]. Then set up a new iCloud account with a new ID, turn you iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted choose Merge to upload your data to the new account. When you turn Mail to On you will get a new @icloud email address (@mac and @me addresses are no longer available). Once your data is in the new account, you can just delete the old account from your other devices without saving the data on the device, then sign into the new one and the migrated data in the new account will be synced back to them.
If you need to, you can change your iTunes ID to this new email address. This guide explains how to change an Apple ID name, but you can follow this and edit the primary email address instead to change it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40.

How do i change the icloud email address on the iphone

How do I change the icloud email address on the iphone 4?

If that is your situation, then you need to do the following:
1. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (this is temporary)
2. You do not need to verify that old address since it is only temporary
3. On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom and click on Delete Account to delete the old iCloud account. It will ask for your password - type in your current Apple ID password
4. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new email address
5. Go back to the Phone to Settings>iCloud and sign on to iCloud with your new Apple ID

My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

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.

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!
