My email addresses for iCloud have vanished

My email addresses for iCloud have vanished but I have not changed any settings. The only address option is my Apple ID one and it defaults to a none iCloud smtp address and the iCloud smtp is shown as offline?

Did you ever go through the migration process to switch your old MobileMe account to an iCloud account? If not, then I'm afraid it's too late to do that.

Old email is closed. I have no access to it. Cannot change email address for icloud in system preferences,does anyone have a way this can be corrected? I don't have access to icloud.

Hi Joycars,
Can you not simply sign out of the iCloud account with the incorrect email? Not sure I'm following?

Need to update email address for icloud

I cannot figure out how to update my email address for icloud

If your phone is signed into an old iCloud ID and you are trying to change it to a newer version of the ID, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

HT201320 put in wrong email address for iCloud,,,need to correct,,,,how?

I put the wrong email address in for iCloud, need to correct one number in it,,,,how??????

Create a new email address for iCloud; don't use the wrong one.

The email address for iCloud for me is no longer in use. I need to change my email and password on my iPad.

On my iPad it will not let me change my email address. The old one is no longer in use and I cannot get emails on it any longer. How do I change iCloud email address on the iPad?

To change the iCloud ID ("email address") 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. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your 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 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.

Change email address for icloud

I have 2 iphones, that for some reason are both linking up to the same account. I want to delete an icloud account, i cant remember the password and it says my other information is wrong (ie dob etc) i don't know which email address its linked to (its not the icloud username email address for some reason) I tried going into icloud on my phone and it just keeps saying verifying and asks me to input password.

If it says verifying in Settings > iCloud, try to keep hitting cancel over and over until it eventually stops, then hit delete account at the bottom.
If that doesn't work, you will need to contact Apple to figure out where that Apple ID is linking to so you can get it reset and removed.

Email addresses for iCloud

I changed my email address for the iMac cos of security issues with hotmail and now cannot log in to iCloud so I created another iCloud address and now I appear to have 2 and I cannot get rid of the original one with hotmail

Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account. You can create up to 3 alias addresses within the account, but they will all receive email in the same inbox.
If you want each person to have their own email account (inbox), and still be able to access the other iCloud data in your main account, you would need to create "secondary" iCloud accounts on each person's device. You can do this by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different Apple ID. Secondary accounts can be used for Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders. If you only want to add a new mail account, you can just turn Mail to On in the secondary account. The only drawback to this approach is that secondary iCloud email accounts only support fetch email, not push. Push mail is only supported in the primary account.

Today I turned on my macbook pro and I had an alert saying "email addresses added to ********" ******** is now using my email addresses for iCloud for iMessage

How can I change my email address for iCloud if I don't have the password to my old email?

How do I change my email for icloud without knowing the password for my old email address?

David, I have a similar issue but I am still running into a road block. I have had an account with apple for email since before 2005 and it was perfect for that moment in life. I used my name to set up as my appleID. [email protected] It has now since been year and years later. I am married and have my own business. I would like my new apple email to be nonnaiandd.icloud.com. When going to set up a new apple ID as you suggested. It asks for a valid email address as the apple ID. Well, my valid email address is my icloud account ([email protected]) This email is what would be my primary email in the account. I want a new apple ID and new email. How do I proceed? When I do a new apple Id is still needs an email.. I'm frustrated. What to do. I wish I could simply change my account's apple ID and email to match to the new [email protected] Help. Thank you.

HT5621 My ipad recognizes and old email address for icloud. When I go to change the address it sends me an email verification email that says click the link THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE EMAIL!! How do I get this changed?

I cannot get my icloud email address changed, but I no longer have that email address. So it is sending an email to an address that no longer exists, yet I cannot get it to change to my current email address. WHen I walk through the process, it sends me an "verificaiton email" that DOES NOT have the link in it to verify. UGH

Welcome to the Apple community TMOZINGO.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
