I want to change the email address on my icloud account

The email address I am using at the moment will not be available much longer so I want to change the address on my itunes account (I can see how to do that) and also on my icloud account. How do I change the email address on my icloud account?

If your AppleID is a .Mac or .Me account then you can't change it. But it shouldn't go away.
If it is something else you can. Just log in here (https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/) and manage your AppleID. Click edit next to the ID and you should be able to simply change it.
Cheers.

Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

How do i change the email address for this iCloud account

I have just set up my new iMac. When asked for an email address, I set up a new one instead of using the email address used for my icloud used in my ipad. How do I apply the old email address to icloud on the imac so that my calendars and email synchronise on all machines?

Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign in with the ID used on your iPad.

HT5620 I want to change the email address to which all the reset security information (emails) go to. But I cannot see that email address in the list when I click on the 'Name, ID and Email Addresses' section.

How can I change it when I cannot view it on my account. I am not even sure how this got setup.

If you mean your rescue email address, it's in the Passwords and Security section, after you answer the two security questions.

Hello Embark2013 - Thanks for the help! If possible, could you or somebody in Apple-land explain to Apple that their system is IDIOTIC?! Changing an email address should be the simplest thing imaginable. Nobody should EVER have to consult a discussion group to learn how to do such a thing.

I want to change the email address for both the app store

I want to change the email address of both the app store & iTunes I created an iTunes account then bought a family pack @me.com so everything is not straight forward I have a gmail log in for both iTunes & the AppStore & then more than one Apple ID I have just increased my cloud storage but I am tired of having to use a gmail address for the App Store & iTunes especially since gmail would appear to be less secure that @icloud.com so how do I change this ?

Not a good idea. Apple content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. The only Apple ID that can (re)download, update and authorize content for use on Macs, PCs and iOS devices is the Apple ID that bought it.
You can however change the email address associated with an Apple ID;

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
-If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

Want to change the email address I used to setup Icloud initiatally. Can I do that? If I change apple ID do I lose all information in Icloud now?

You can change the login ID address, provided that it is not an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address. You will need to sign out on all your computers/devices and sign back in again with the new ID.
However, 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).
All is not lost, though. 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.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.

I want to change the email address on my account how can I do so?

I want to change the email on my account since I lost the password to that email account. Please help

If you have a new email address then create a new mail account for that email address.
In Thunderbird:
File > New > select 'Existing mail account'
or
Menu Icon > New Messages > select 'Existing mail account'
when creating the mail account, make sure you select the type of mail account you require...Pop or IMAP
more info here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration?esab=a&s=new+mail+account&r=0&as=s
If you have the same email address but want to change the server it uses.
If you currently have an IMAP mail account and you are wanting to close it, you would need to get a copy of any emails into Local Folders first.
Synchronise the folder for offline use, then in offline mode get a copy of emails into Local Folders.
If you have a pop mail account, the emails are already on your computer.
To change the server, but not email address:
you will need to know your server settings first.
Thenright click on mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'
select the Server sEttings for the account
or Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the account
Change as necessary
server name:
Port:
Connection Security:
In the left Pane, at the bottom Select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)
click on 'Add'
create the new outgoing server entering the server details
username: = full email address
then click on OK
then select the account in the left Pane
at the bottom on the right side:
Outgoing Server (SMTP)
click on the drop down selectionand locate the new outgoing server.
then click on OK to save changes.

TS3988 how do you change the email address associated to my account

how do you change the email address associated to my account

Your description doesn't make it entirely clear what you are trying to do. Your Apple ID - which you use to log in to iCloud - is a non-Apple email address and you can change this. You may also have a 'rescue' address (advisable) which is a non-Apple email address and you can change that. The @icloud.com address you set up when you opened the iCloud account can not be changed, but has nothing directly to do with Hotmail (other than that being the login).
What you can do is 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.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.

How can I change the email address associated with iCloud without losing information?

How can I can change the email address associated with my iCloud account without losing data on my iPad?

If you're running iOS 6, to change your iCloud ID 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.

How do I change the email address associated with this account?

I can find no option to update the email address associated with this account. This is causing a problem since the Apple Support Communities ID that I use is different than my iTunes account name, but the email address for both is the same. it's causing all sorts of weirdness with Game Center, logging into this site with my iTunes account (errors out), etc.
I see no options in preferences ot update this account email address.
Am I missing something obvious?

Well 99% there anyway. Now that I've successfully updated my email address, it asked me to merge the new email address as the login, which is fine, so I did that, but now I no longer see the option to edit the "Username" value.
What I'm trying to do here is to retire my username under this account, and take it on under my primary iTunes account. It won't let me do that while this old account has it reserved.
Hopefully that makes sense
Once I merged my new primary email address with this account, the 'Username' field disappeared and now just shows the new email address with no option to edit the friendly 'Username' *sigh*.
