Mail app wont let me change the email address on my icloud accouny
I have an @mac Apple ID that I use all the time but it is not a setup email address. If you understand what i'm saying.
So I also have an @me email that Is linked to my icloud account, which i use me @mac ID to log in with.
I can access the @me email with the icould.com site, but when I use the mail app on my iphone4 running 5.1.1, It will not allow me to select the @me email as my primany email address, it is keeping my @mac id, which isn't an emailing account.
I can and do recived me emails to this account via the mail app but I can't send mail from this account because the @mac is not set up for email. can anyone help?
Read it again. It says anything stored in iCloud will be deleted FROM THE DEVICE - which makes sense if you are deleting the account from the phone. You will lose some photos ON YOUR DEVICE in shared photostreams since those are shown progressively from time of iCloud activation. They will still be available in iCloud and other other devices.
In any case, you should already be backing up those photos to a computer or some other service. If you lost or had your iPhone stolen - or even if some hardware issue occurred, you would lose them. Import them into your computer before doing anything.

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.
Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.
Settings>iCloud>Sign Out. -
how do i change the email address for my icloud account on my 4s. when i sign in on line it is my new email address so i thought it would change automatically but obviously not!
Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it. -
I want to change the email address on my icloud account
The email address I am using at the moment will not be available much longer so I want to change the address on my itunes account (I can see how to do that) and also on my icloud account. How do I change the email address on my icloud account?
If your AppleID is a .Mac or .Me account then you can't change it. But it shouldn't go away.
If it is something else you can. Just log in here (https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/) and manage your AppleID. Click edit next to the ID and you should be able to simply change it.
Cheers. -
How can I change the email address associated with iCloud without losing information?
How can I can change the email address associated with my iCloud account without losing data on my iPad?
If you're running iOS 6, to change your iCloud ID 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. -
How do I change the email address linked to iCloud
When I open icloud on my devices using my apple ID, my ID/ email address shows as the user but the email address listed in the advanced tab is a me.com address. This would be fine but it is a mid-spelt version of my name at me.com. I can log in to the correctly spelt version of my name at me.com via apple ID but cannot use this. It seems that in the move from me.com to iCloud I have ended up with an association to mis-spelt me.com. Can I change this? If not, I am happy to set up a fresh iCloud account but I still have the issue of disassociating the mis-spelt address which seems to be something Apple do not allow. apple have told me to start from scratch - new ID, new iCloud and all linked to a new email address that I would need to set up. This seems tediculous!
Does anyone have any suggestions?You can do it directly on your iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and logging into it. Or you can do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via http://appleid.apple.com

The email address I have now is not the email I had when I set up my icloud and now I can't update the new email address on my iphone, can someone help me?
Second question, I didn't know that everyone in the house had to have a separate itunes account so now my oldest information is on my iphone now, not mine. I have lost all my contacts, notes and everything and all the information from my oldest is now on the icloud not mine. How do I get my information back on my iphone?If you need to change the primary email address associated with your iCloud Apple ID, see "How to change you Apple ID and primary email address" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68. If you change the name of your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your new credentials. Deleting the account will only delete the account and your synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, you data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in. If you have any photo stream photos on your phone that are over 30 days old, save them to the camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).
On your second question, did you change iCloud accounts and lose all your data? If so, is your data still in the original account when you sign into it and check from a computer? -
How do i change the email address for this iCloud account
I have just set up my new iMac. When asked for an email address, I set up a new one instead of using the email address used for my icloud used in my ipad. How do I apply the old email address to icloud on the imac so that my calendars and email synchronise on all machines?
Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign in with the ID used on your iPad.

I don't want to change my Apple ID, I just need to change the e-mail address that is attached to my icloud account. I changed the Apple ID to my new e-mail, but icloud still has the old address.
Did you get a resolution to this? I have the same problem.

trying to load the new iphone app wont let me past the rescue email page
do you use the Google 2-step verification? If so, you need to generate a specific password for that to login.

my icloud account on my new iphone does not match the user ID for itunes as it is an old apple ID. There is no password for this ID so I cant change it and it wont let me change the apple ID. Any help?
To change to iCloud ID on your phone you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID then sign in with the new ID. If you don't know the password for the old ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

I changed my Apple ID two weeks ago and I accidently forgot to sign out of my iCloud on my iPhone 5C. Now it wont let me change the iCloud ID to match my new Apple ID. How do I change my iCloud ID even though it is asking for the old ID?
If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the 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 iPhone, 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 iPhone 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.

I've recently changed the email address on my i tunes account. The emai address on my icloud account hasn't changed, so i can't buy additional storage. It also won't let me delete my existing icloud acc.
To change the iCloud ID on your phone, first save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (if not already there) by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photo thumbnails, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your phone, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.

I want to change the email address for both the app store
I want to change the email address of both the app store & iTunes I created an iTunes account then bought a family pack @me.com so everything is not straight forward I have a gmail log in for both iTunes & the AppStore & then more than one Apple ID I have just increased my cloud storage but I am tired of having to use a gmail address for the App Store & iTunes especially since gmail would appear to be less secure that @icloud.com so how do I change this ?
Not a good idea. Apple content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. The only Apple ID that can (re)download, update and authorize content for use on Macs, PCs and iOS devices is the Apple ID that bought it.
You can however change the email address associated with an Apple ID;
