I want to switch icloud email account to updated email.

Old email account is long gone. The iPhone keeps attacking me relentlessly trying to access dead email account. I can't stop it!!! I can't change it to new email!!!

If you're talking about changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, then go to appleid.apple.com, log in with your Apple ID & Password, and then change the primary email address to one that you can access.

I've been using my mom's iTunes account for years but now I want to switch to another account. How can I do this without losing all of my pictures, music, and apps?

I want to switch my emails back to my email provider and not use thunderbird. How do I do this?

I need to be able to access my email on my iPhone. I doesn't seem like this is an option when using thunderbird. Therefore, I need to switch my emails back to my original email provider.
I would like to know how to do that.
Or if you have a solution for checking my thunderbird account via my iPhone, I would be happy to do that. I looked for a thunderbird app for the iPhone but couldn't find one.
thank you

Is your mail account set up as as POP account?
When you set up Thunderbird to access your mail using the POP protocol, it has an option to keep mail on the server for access though other clients or to remove it (either immediately or after a period of time).
''To stop the damage:'' You can change this setting on your account within Thunderbird. In Account Settings (app menu button or classic Tools menu), check Server Settings.
''To restore the removed messages:'' POP is a one-way protocol, so there isn't a way within Thunderbird to upload the mail back to the server without setting up a different kind of connection.
If your mail service allows an IMAP connection, that would create a new set of folders in Thunderbird, and by copying messages into the Inbox in Thunderbird you could sync them back to the server. (Not sure whether the dates will be 100% preserved in the process.)
Volunteers can describe this in more detail if you want to try it.

Switching iCloud User accounts on same MAC

When I go to sign out of current iCloud user account it states "Do you want to keep a copy of your iCloud contacts on this MAC?" then it states "If you dont keep a copy, iCloud contacts will be deleted from this MAC but still be available on other devices using iCloud.
My question/concern would be, since we have multiple user accounts on this MAC, it shows that my wife is signed in and the contacts list is from her devices, if I sign her out to sign in with my Apple ID, when she goes to her user account, will her contacts be deleted? If they are deleted, can then she sign out then sign in to have her stuff re-synched to her account with out showing on my account?

... , if I sign her out to sign in with my Apple ID, when she goes to her user account, will her contacts be deleted?
They will remain in iCloud, and will be restored when she signs in again.
You can erase them from the Mac any time, but it's a good idea to retain your own copy should iCloud become inaccessible for whatever reason.

I can't change the country of my iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store account - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5375
I'm not clear as to your exact status but you should note: The iTunes Store in a country is intended for use only by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.

Switch primary email for iCloud account

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the Apple ecosystem and I must be honest it was reluctant at first. Anyway I've had an itunes account (lets say [email protected]) for some time now. I don't remember setting it up but I also appear to have an icloud email with the same name ([email protected]).
So i've been having some issues with my gmail account recently and i've been considering closing it down. Before I do this I wanted to switch my itunes account (well infact its everything, i'm now using a mac, ipad and iphone) from [email protected] to [email protected] But this doesn't appear to be possible. It won't let me switch to an apple owned domain. This seems weird as I can create a new icloud account using the @icloud.com domain.
Anyone know what i'm doing wrong? Is it possible to delete the [email protected] email that I have, that way I could just create a new account using that address.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Andrew

[email protected] is permanently part of the ID which created it. As it's the primary address you cannot delete it nor make it the actual ID; and neither primary address nor aliases can be moved to another account. You can change your existing ID to any other functioning non-Apple address provided it's never been associated with an Apple ID.

How do I add icloud email on galaxy nexus?

Had a iPhone 4 now have a galaxy nexus. Want to receive iCloud email on galaxy nexus. How do i set it up?

Double-check that you've got all this set, particularly the SSL:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
If it still doesn't work you'll need to take it up with the manufacturers.

No Password for iCloud email Freaks out iPad

Hi there,
I just synced my email accounts with my iPad 2 (current iOS). All went well except I can't get any emails from my iCloud service (Irony?). I have had this apple ID for years, and I used it to sign up for iCloud. When I signed up for iCloud, it asked me what email address I wanted for my iCloud email, so i picked one. At no time was I asked for a password. If I look at my iCloiud email account in Mail, I have no password in the feild, and it checks and retrieves my iCloud email, no problem. My iPad, however, won't touch my iCloud email because there's no password. I tried my Apple ID password. Nope. I tried to manually addiing my iCloud email to the iPad, after deleting the synced account,but it won't add an account until a password has been entered. What do I do?
Thanks in advance.
Malcolm

Fixed it by Deleting the entire iCloud service from my iPad and then signed in to iCloud from the iPad again.

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

To change the iCloud ID on your devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any synced data from your device, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. However if you are changing to a new account, be sure to choose Keep on My iPhone (iPad) when prompted, then choose Merge to upload your data to the new account when you turn on iCloud syncing again.
Prior to deleting the account, if you have an photo stream photos that you want to keep, save them to your camera roll by tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.

I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts. All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together. I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists. How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
Thanks

You can't merge iCloud accounts.
You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have. To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them). You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another. You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.

I know this is going to sound stupid but I can't seem to set up my email as an iCloud email account. I want to eliminate my aol account and transfer everything to iCloud with an iCloud email. How do I do this.

If your Mac is running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, you first have to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, then check Mail. This will automatically add an iCloud email account.
To transfer your AOL mail, you need to drag and drop them into the same folder in the iCloud account. If you have any folders in your AOL mail, you would need to create folders by the same name in the iCloud account, then open each folder, select all the mail in the folder and drag and drop them on the folder by the same name in your iCloud account. (To create a folder in the iCloud account, click the "+" at the bottom of your folder list, choose Create Mailbox, choose iCloud as the location and give it a name.)
