Lost iCloud email address and password.. Help!

If I forgot my iCloud email address and password, which are different from my Apple ID, is there any way to retrieve it? I've looked everywhere thoughout the discussion boards and cannot find an answer. My phone had reset and is asking me to use only my @iCloud.com ID to restore all of the data and I cannot remember what it is, thus I cannot reactivate my phone. Does anyone know if there is any way to have this email and password sent to a different email? Again this is not my normal Apple ID which I use for iTunes and such, it is my iCloud account. If anyone has any idea how to help me I would greatly appreciate it!!

OK, you need to follow these instructions:
1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your current Apple ID and password. Then EDIT the Apple ID and change it back to the old Apple ID (this is temporary - Do NOT verify it, Do NOT change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and click Delete Account. Use your current Apple ID password when asked. Follow the prompts to complete the deletion of the iCloud account
3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID, and EDIT the Apple ID back to the New ID (you may need to verify it)
4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple ID
You should be all set.
Cheers,

No, it is asking you to register with your Amazon user id and password. Your Apple ID won't work.

I bought an iPod but dont have the email address and password, Help please.

I bought an old iPod touch. It has loads of music and games on it.. When I connect it to my PC and it goes off to iTunes, it cant find the iPod and asks for a password. I would just like to have it reset so that I can add it to my account and get some of my music on it.
Is there any way to get it reset and then registered on my accoount please.
I also have an iPad and an iPhone, and this would just be an extra.
Thanks in anticipation.

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore tot factory settings/new iPod via iTuns. See:
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
You may have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode to allow the restore. If that does not work try DFU mode and restore.

Can we unlock an iphone which one locked with an email address and password.I have no idea about the email address and password for the icloud

It sounds like you are talking about an iPhone that has been Activation Locked. This article explains:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
If so, the iPhone can never be unlocked without the original Apple ID and password. This is an anti-theft measure.

Sorry, there's no way around Activation Lock. So, give the phone back to your "friend", as you will never be able to use it.
Apple can't/won't help you.

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information. Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

My iCloud email address and my apple ID are different. I would like to change my iCloud to be the same as my apple ID. However I don't know my iCloud password and don't use the email address it belongs to. When I try to change the password, apple brings me to a page to reset my apple ID password (which I know and don't want to change). I have even tried to delete my iCloud account completely to start again but am not allowed without the iCloud password (which I don't have) there doesn't seem to be a place to change the email address of iCloud. What can I do?

This is the answer that I had expected, so in this case you could only change your gmail.com address to another providers email addres e.g. outlook.com, yahoo.com, etc., but you won't be able to change the gmail.com address to a icloud.com email address. Apple just won't let you do that.
Your iCloud account with @icloud.com email address and you Apple ID with gmail.com address are already connected and as I said before, Apple just let you merge this two IDs together.

HT201320 icloud - changing email address and password on iphone 4s

i have changed my apple email address and password but cannot change it on icloud on my phone .I have tried deleting the icloud account but cant because the password does not match the old email address . i have tried old passwords also.

Try putting the device in Airplane mode, may not work.
A restore of the device may be necessary. If Find My iPhone is enabled, it would be necessary to wipe the device via www.icloud.com if unable to disable the feature on the device.
Ideally, the user would delete the iCloud account on the device prior to changing the email account linked to it. Simply changing the password should not have resulted in this issue. It is most likely the combo of changing the email and password.

Icloud still shows my old email address when I try to enter, asking me for a password I no longer have. I need to change my email address and password in ICLOUD but I can't find a way to do it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Logout (System Preferences>iCloud) then login with the new address and password.

Linking ipad, icloud, iphone and computer with changed email address and password?

I changed my email address and password on Apple and am now having trouble getting my ipad, iphone, icloud and computer to accept changes. What should I do? Thanks.

Hello gmille1,
It sounds like you no longer have access to the email address that is also your Apple ID and you cannot remember the password for it. According to the following article you may be able to reset the password either by answering your security questions or sending a password reset email to your rescue email address if you had one setup.
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Answer your security questions
Select “Answer security questions,” then select Next.
Select your birth date, then select Next.
Answer your security questions.
Set a new password and select Reset Password.
Use email authentication
Select “Email authentication,” then select Next. Apple will send the email to your primary or rescue email address.
Open the email and select the link to change your password.
When the My Apple ID page opens, set a new password and select Reset Password.
Use these steps if you didn't get the email or can't find it.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

Can I change my actual (main) iCloud email address, and if so how?

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).
However, all is not lost. 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.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

HT5624 My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?

A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however.

How can I change my icloud email details and password on icloud

how can I change my icloud email details and password on my iphone 5s tried all day without success, I have changed my apple ID and password thats okay.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going 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 on your device, 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.

TS3899 Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

Can two people have the same email address and password on their phone?

I guess so. But the email content will mirror on both phones.
If you are talking about your Apple ID and iCloud email, yes, it is possible, but again the phones will mirror. You should not have the same Apple ID and iCloud both.
Why?
If you explain the reason for the question we may have a solution that works for you.
