ICloud email change help

I changed the email I was using for iCloud a while ago. I recently got a different iPhone, and it continues to prompt me to sign into iCloud, but it has the old email in the email spot, so obviously when I try to sign on it won't work. It also does not give me the option to type in the new email address. That part is grayed out so I cannot change it. Help!

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.

Icloud email change on one phone currently used by 2

my husband and I both use the same icloud account and apple id, however with these new iphone 6's it seems to cause a lot of issues and I was suppose to create a new icloud account for his phone before they switched his info over but I didn't get the chance too. So, we currently have the same icloud account email and apple id. I don't mind having the same apple id, however the icloud email is a different story, it seems everything is showing up on his phone from mine such as who I called etc. is there a way that I can just change the icloud email on his phone and keep the apple id the same and leave mine the same all together? if so, how do I do that without him losing all of his information?

He can migrate his phone to a new account but he will need a new Apple ID to create it. He can create his new ID by going here: https://appleid.apple.com/account. Then to migrate his phone to a new account he should go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (which only removes the account from his phone, not from iCloud; your phone won't be effected by this), choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. Then he can sign back in with his new Apple ID to create his new account and choose Merge to upload a copy of the iCloud data to his new account. Once you are on separate iCloud accounts, you can each go to iCloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account. He will have to choose a new @icloud.com email account to go with his new iCloud account.
You can continue to share the same original ID for other services such as your iTunes store account if you want to. The ID you use for iCloud does not need to be the same as the ID you use for other services. However, to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls you should use different IDs for these services. He should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with his new iCloud ID. Then he should do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

HT5622 I need to change my iCloud email address help?

I need help with iCloud account. Got a new email address need to change In iCloud very frustrated can not figure it out. Help

First, if you haven't done so already, go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and manage your Apple ID to make the necessary changes. Then, to change the iCloud ID on your iOS devices, 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.

Problem with icloud email please help

My icloud e-mail is not working but the other services work just fine. Help

I would like to add that the emails don't seem to be sorted on my laptop at all (so maybe it's more of an iCloud issue than an iPad issue). This morning all the emails I deleted or moved to other folders were there again. Not good.
any ideas?

Will adding an iCloud email change my Apple ID?

1. I have an Apple ID using a [email protected] address, not a @mac or @me email.
2. To get push email, I need to assign a @me.com email to it. I want to do this. I have a big fear though. And that is...
3. If I assign a new @me.com (for iCloud push) email to my existing Apple ID, will that new @me.com become the new Apple ID, replacing the current
[email protected] ?
4. I do NOT want my Apple ID to change to be a @me.com email. I just want to add an @me.com email so I can use push, but I do NOT want it to replace my exisitng Apple ID.
Thx.

You can't add an existing @me.com address to an Apple ID because it already is an apple ID.
If you sign into System Preferences>iCloud with your mydomain ID you will be asked to create an @me.com address; this will become the iCloud account's email address but will not change the login ID.

ICloud Email Change, Nothing will work.

Here is the issue:
I am trying to restore my iPhone to a previous backup. It will not let me because "Find My iPhone" is on. I cannot turn it off because in iCloud, it is signed in with an account that basically doesn't exist. I changed my Apple ID email to a new email, and for some reason, on iCloud, it is still my old email. I cannot do anything with iCloud because I need to sign in to my account with an email that no longer exists, which means that the password I have had forever doesn't work, because THE ACCOUNT DOESN'T EXCIST! I cannot delete the account, because to do that you need to log in, and again, the log in is with an email that doesn't exsist. I also really need to restore to a back up. I use iPhone 5.

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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, 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.

ICloud email changes

I have an iCloud account that was migrated from MobileMe while on the developer beta last summer. I would like a new iCloud address for login (NOT an alias) but if I make a new account I lose access to the MobileMe features I still currently have access to. (Such as iWeb, iDisk and Gallery)
Can I either change the address or transfer the entire account to another account under a new address, effectively doing the same thing?

No you won't. Just sign out of iCloud, and create a new Apple ID and use that to sign in to a new iCloud account. Your MobileMe sign in and access to your iDisk will be completely unaffected (at least until MobileMe terminates at the end of June).

We recently moved and changed our email but I can't change the email on my iCloud account. Help!

We recently moved and changed our email but I can't change my iCloud email. Help!

That is because the app you are attempting to update is not owned by your Apple ID. You will have to delete the app and re-purchase it with your own ID, or continue to use your cousin's password to update it.

ICloud email. Why name does't change?

I changed my Apple ID. But when I send email with a help of iCloud I see that the previuos ID remains the same though I already started to use new Apple ID. For example - [email protected] this email I used as an Apple ID before. Than I changed email, for instance it looks like this [email protected] And inthe settings I deleted [email protected] and [email protected] I set up as a primary one. So the problem is that when I email, the old email address is shown - like this [email protected] Why the name did not change and how can I change it ? I want it to look like that [email protected] The name which changed and wish to be shown in the iCloud email

Changing your AppleID has no effect on the @me.com iCloud email address attached to it.
The username of your @hotmail.ru email account is not connected with your @me.com account username.
The only way to get a different @me.com iCloud email address is to setup a whole new iCloud account, or setup an email alias within your existing iCloud account.

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.

If you purchased about 2 years ago new I am sure it is a Intel iMac. To find out what type of iMac you have just click on the Apple menu item in the finder and select about this Mac. I would check the ISP mail site and get the correct outgoing mail server info.

I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

That's because you can't change your iCloud email address.
You can change the AppleID address associated with your iCloud account at http://appleid.apple.com/
Or you can setup a new email alias to your existing iCloud address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
But you cannot change the primary email address for an existing iCloud account. If you want a completely new iCloud email address you need to create a new iCloud account using a different AppleID.
