Icloud email address is incorrect and I can't change it.

All of a sudden I cant access my icloud account due to the email address being incorrect. The e mail address that shows up on my phone is a variation of mine but not the right one. I therefore cant enter a password. Please help.

I'd like to know the answer to this problem as well. My Apple ID changed, however my iphone still has the previous appearing in sign into iCloud. It's greyed out, so i can't change it. If I want to delete the account, which I have tried, it wants the password for the old Apple ID.

  • My icloud email address is wrong and I can't change it!

    Hi,
    So i have changed jobs, email address and phone - I have updated my Apple ID to my new email address. Everytime I turn on my phone it tells me I need to enter my icloud password but it lists my old email address as the sign in address. I have tried to delete the account but it asks to "Enter the password for "oldemail address" to turn off Find my iPhone" - as I dont remember the password I cant turn it off and delete the account.
    Is there a way to update the icloud email address? The field is greyed out unde the "icloud account information page" so cant do anything there.
    What do I need to do - very frustrated!
    Thanks in advance
    Jordan

    When you say you updated your apple id, do you mean you logged into your old apple id and edited your email by changing it to your new email? If so, you need to go to appleid.apple.com on a web browser and log in with the new email and then edit the email back to the old email. Then go to icloud settings on your phone and turn off Find my iphone. Go to bottom of that page and Delete the account but keep info on your phone. Then go back to appleid.apple.com and change the email back to the new one. Go back on your phone and log into icloud with the new appleid email.

    My icloud email address is misspelled.  How can I correct this?

    You can't change an iCloud (@mac, @me or @icloud) email address without creating a new account.  You can, however, create an email alias with the correct spelling and use that.  It will be linked to your current iCloud account and receive email at the same inbox.  This guide explains how to create an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

    I am unable to change my iCloud email address on my iphone. It is changed and verified in my account and when I log in to Cloud on my PC its fine. However when I go through the settings on my iphone (3GS) it still coming up with my now inactive old email address.

    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 Icloud email adress got deleted and I can't remember my password so I can't sign on to iCloud! How do I fix this problem?

    Move your curring iPhoto app to the Trash (don't empty) and then try purchasing again. If you're still having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed.  How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone?  Thank you.

    Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed.  How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone?  Thanks in advance.

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

  • My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
    Hope I can help!

  • Since upgrading to mavericks, my email autofill is incorrect and I can't figure out how to fix it.

    Since upgrading to mavericks, my email autofill in Safari is incorrect and I can't figure out how to change it.  I start typing my email [email protected] on a website and that I need to put my email in (like to request a newsletter etc).  As soon as I get to the @ it fills it in as [email protected]@.  It is baffling and frustrating. Any ideas?  Autofill in general, for all my info (adress etc) works fine.

    Hi srd9196,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would check for a substitution being set in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text:
    OS X Mavericks: Text pane of Keyboard preferences

  • My Apple ID is correct, however, my iCloud ID is incorrect and I can't change the ID on the phone or from my computer. Please help.

    My Apple Username is correct, however, my iCloud username is my former email and I cannot change it on the phone or from the computer. What do I need to do to fix this so I can use iCloud?

    Are you saying you changed the email address associated with the apple id and it won't let you change it in icloud settings? If so just go and change the apple id email back to the old one then delete the icloud account, once youv'e done that you can change the email address back and then sign into icloud with the new email.

    If you mean your ID name, you can go to https://appleid.apple.com to manage your ID and click Edit next to your Apple ID and change the name.  You will get a pop-up message telling you what the requirements of the name are.

  • After changing from IE to Firerfox mozilla, the fonts on email are too small and I can't change them

    After changing from Internet Explorer to Firefox Mozilla, I noticed the font size, like this one, was the standard font in everything. I want a larger font in '''everything''' I read and type, including emails.

    My two suggestions would be find an epub editor, (never seen one sure one exists)
    or use Zoom on your device. It's not the best solution, but it shold at least make it readable.
    You can enable Zoom under Settings.
