ICloud won't let me change my logon email address

I reverted to an old backup and now iCloud wants to use an old email address for my login. I can't logon as a result and I can't figure out how to change it. Game Center, iTunes, etc. are all using the right one. But iCloud won't let me change it. I have tried to delete the account, but it won't let me unless I logon first (which I can't do). I have tried restoring network settings, privacy settings, and content settings. I have also tried to revert back to a more recent backup, but I can't until I turn on the "Find my iPhone" function, which require me to login to iCloud. Help!

i believe you may have to retrieve your password
enter the email address attached to your username profile and retrieve your id through that route
then sign in

Hello Brookeg189,
You may be able to use the password for your existing iCloud account to get past this dialog.

Open Mail app and then click on Mailboxes(Left up)>Go down and select your Hotmail acoount and then try Refreshing by pulling down the list.

Changed Apple ID email address problem :(

So I changed my Apple ID email address. I logged out of my account on my iPad when it had my old email address for iCloud and iTunes(and the App Store) and logged in using my updated email address. It worked with iCloud but for some reason the iPad will ask me to login using my old Apple id email address in the App Store even though I updated my email address in the settings and even though at the bottom of the screen (when I open up the App Store) my new email address is there. Now I cannot update my apps or download new ones because my iPad keeps asking for the password to the old Apple id email address that I no longer use and it's ext frustratin. I've repeatedly tried to login out of the App Store and re-enter my updated info but it doesn't change a thing. I've even tried to reset the iPad and log in with my new email address but that does not work either.... What else should I do?????

Hello Alexandra,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID. I recommend the following steps:
Symptoms
iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
Resolution
1. Use your current Apple ID password
Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

HT204053 I can not get my Icloud to work on my iphone and ipad since i set up my new email addy on Apple Icloud won't let me change it on those devices ...Plz Help Shey

I can not get my Iphone or ipad to except the new email address that is now on Apple so nothing will back up or work on Icloud on those devices Thx plz help Sheyw

With iCloud on the phone, you will need to remove the account, then add it back in with the new address. It is a bit awkward, but the only way to change the AppleID for the iCloud account login is to delete the account then add it back with the new credentials. You won't loose anything as the iCloud account is still the same one, you just need to re-associate the AppleID credentials for it on the iPhone.

I changed my email for my Apple ID, and my iCloud won't let me change it, it only lets me delete my account. But I don't want everything on my phone that is linked to it to be deleted too. How do I change the email in the iCloud settings

I changed my email for my Apple ID, but on my iCloud it's still registered under my old email, but I can't change it. The only option it has for me to do is to delete that account from my phone but I don't want to lose anything I have on my phone that is linked to my iCloud account

If you go to your iTunes account on the computer, where you changed your email account info, you find a link to other changes for your account info. You may have done all that already, if so next you have to change the info on the device.
To change the device info:
Step 1. Connect to iTunes on the computer and on the "Info" page, check the sync info box. You should notice a change in your email info on the screen . Sync device to the computer.
Step 2. note at the bottom of this "Info" screen a note that says to change you iPad info: Go to Settings on the iPad, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Change your email account information here.

How can I change email address on my ICloud account? It won't let me change old e-mail address.

How can I change email address on Icloud? It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
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.

IMessage won't let me change Apple ID

My husband and I were sharing one Apple ID across two iPhone 4 and his iPad, but ocassionally we would get cross-wired text messages via iMessage. Some one would message him and it would show up on my iPhone instead.
We researched the solution and were told to create a unique Apple ID for my phone and add it to the iMessage.
PROBLEM: When we logged out of his Apple ID on the my iPhone for iMessage and tried using the new Apple ID we created it never seems to get past the login in screen.
Under Messages | Settings | Receive At |
When we select "Use Your Apple ID for iMessage" it comes back with a screen that says Enter Apple ID and a message that says "You were signed out of iMessage because your Apple ID or Password Changed. Sign in to turn on iMessage"
When I enter the new Apple ID we created it briefly goes to the next screen to confirm what email address you want it use, before it flips back the Enter Apple ID screen. We can't get past this screen.
Any ideas?

also, i was wondering, while setting up my iphone after the upgrade to ios 6, in one of teh steps when i started using the phone, it asked for teh apple ID password to do soemthing related to icloud, imessenger and facetime. it also gave the option on the phone screen to "skip this step" which i did, i skiped the stem and thought if i wanted to i can go back and do it manually from the settings any time. i think it was something related to downloading new features for the icloud. i messenger and facetime.
could this have been the case? but i mean if i had the option to "skip the step" it means that it is not something drastic and can always be done manually later.
anyone has feedback?

IMessage and Facetime won't let me change apple id

Read through similar postings but can't find a solution. When I try to change the apple id for both facetime and messaging i can get past the "sign in" screen, which takes me to the next page which verfies the email address. But before I can click "next" it reverts to the "sign in" page. This happens in both Messaging and Facetime. I use the same apple id for iCloud on this device - no issues. I've also tested this apple id on other devices and have had no problems. Thanks in advance for your help.

- When you go to Settings>Time%Date is it set to Automatic?
- Go to Settings>wifi>the connected network and change the DNS to Google's 8.8.8.8

Won't let me change Apple ID

I Am trying to change my email address for my Apple ID but it will not let me . I need to change the email ASAP.

https://www.apple.com/uk/support/appleid/manage/
This could be the page you are looking for...
Why do you need to change it?
Are you in fact on interpol's most wanted list and you forgot when you registered your new iPhone?
Have you got the same name as someone famous and now you're receiving spam from online stalkers who think you're the real [email protected]?
I hope it all works out well for you, whatever the reason.

HT5312 How do I make a new apple account and delete the one I have now? I don't know my password for the id they use and it won't let me use my current email address?

How do I create a new Apple ID and delete my current one?

You can't delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from in and stop using it - but anything that you downloaded from the stores with it will remain tied to that account.
If you don't know the password for it then try this page to get it reset : http://iforgot.apple.com
If you also don't know your security answers, then if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use.
