I need to change my email address which iCloud is showing as its offenisive

Can anyone help

If you mean you mean you need to change the iCloud ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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 on your device, 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.

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.

Icloud still shows my old email address when I try to enter, asking me for a password I no longer have. I need to change my email address and password in ICLOUD but I can't find a way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Logout (System Preferences>iCloud) then login with the new address and password.

I need change main email address in iCloud, make alias email main

i need change main email address in iCloud, make alias email main

I'm afraid you can't do this. Once you've chosen the main @icloud.com address when you set up the account you can't change it (other than by creating a completely new account); and you can't make an alias the main address in the account it's in or any other account.

I need to change my email address. how do Ido this and keep everything?

I need to change my email address forsecurity reasons. Howdo I dothis without losiing everything from my old email address?

The assigned name is the same as the one you chose when originally setting up the account, just with the @icloud.com suffix. It is exactly the same email account, not a new one.
You cannot setup a new iCloud email account without setting up a new iCloud account under a different AppleID.
Alternatively, you can setup email aliases: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

Can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?

can i change my email address on icloud account on phone? to email i used on new mac ?? do they need to be the same for optimal use?

Yes the Apple ID is the thing that ties your devices to you and shares your information and content between them.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
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.
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.
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 email address, is it possible?

I'm just getting way too much spam and I need to change my email address, preferably to one of my aliases, but I'll take anything. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Just hang on with the Junk training. It does not only look at the from: section.
Mark each new one as Junk and after a couple of days you should see it marks it by itself (although not 100%) and then set it to automatic.
Just deleting it will not help the Junk training.

HT201342 how can i change my email address on icloud account, it is already changed on my apple id

How can I change my email address on icloud, I have already changed it on my apple id, but it still is asking for lmy old email and password and I can not back up or anything?

Hello RousePryor
If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.

How can I change my email address on iCloud?

Hey Sblan2,
According to the following document, you are unable to change the iCloud email address.
from: Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
However, one option you have would be to create an email alias:

Acrobat Form Wizard, need to change distribution email address

When I'm using the Acrobat Form Wizard, I don't want my respondents to email me, I want them to email the Department I'm creating the form for. How do I change the email address?

I've got a PDF form, created by a client, which I'm trying to setup for email collection of completed forms.
Problem is, when I go through the steps to "distribute" the form, it never asks me what email address I'd like the completed forms sent to. And in the end, it choose my own personal email address.
Instead, I'd like to be able to specify my client's email address so he can receive the completed forms.
Can anyone tell me how to change the default address for receiving forms?
Thanks,
Jade

HT204022 I need to change my email address associated with my icloud account. How do I do that?

How do I change the email address associated with my icloud account?

The OP asked how to change the email address that is associated with their iCloud account.
To sign into your iCloud account you use your Apple ID.
Therefore if you want to change the email address or Apple ID you sign into iCloud with, you need to change your Apple ID.
If your question is how to change your primary iCloud Mail email address, AFAIK, you cannot as it is linked to and is an alias for your Apple ID. You can create an email alias. Alias can be changed and deleted.

How do I correct my email address in icloud on my itouchr?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If that's the iCloud email address that you mean, it cannot be changed. You would need to create an alias instead.
