My icloud is associated with an invalid email account

Hello there, James.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up information on how to change your Apple ID email in regards to iCloud:
Change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621
Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, App Store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your current Apple ID for these services.
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in. Forgot your password?
Select Edit next to “Apple ID and Primary Email Address.”
Enter the email address to use as your Apple ID, then select Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email. Didn't receive the email?
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
When you see a message that verification is complete, you can begin using your renamed Apple ID. You should also update the features and services that you use with Apple ID.
This additional article provides more information regarding managing your Apple ID:

You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it. It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

How can my iPad and desktop Mac connect with FaceTime if they are both associated with the same email account?

I hace an IPad2 and a desktop Mac --I am on Lion and in the cloud. Both devices share the same email account. How can I use the iPad to connect with the Mac through facetime if I am travelling?

You need to associate another email address to one of the devices. Read about it here.

How can I get my iPad2 and my desktop Mac to connect with FaceTime if they are both associated with the same email account?

It seems I should be able to use my iPad to connect with my Mac through facetime if I travel but they both have the same account settings since I am in the cloud. If I try to connect, I get a busy signal - naturally since I am calling myselt. Is there a way to get this to work?

I Am unable to update downloads as the password apple want is still associated with my old email account which is void.

I have changed my add pale id account but the password request for my download updates is still linked to my old void email address. How do I change this?

The password for your Apple ID will always be the same irregardless of what email address it is linked to, that is unless you change the password. You can change the password for your Apple ID and the Primary email address used for your Apple ID for Apple to contact you and I suggest you do that ASAP (and it should of been done before you abandoned that original contact email address).
Change the password.

Can I retrive files off icloud even though I closed my email account?

I had to shut down my email account and opened a new email. And my icloud was associated with the old email account. How can I update icloud with my new email in order to retrieve my files and pictures?

I' m not sure what you mean by frozen in update ... frozen since the update? frozen when you update the documents???
Try quitting Pages and Numbers, restart your iPad and see what happens.
To close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Delete the iCloud account associated with an old email address no longer in use...Help!

I am trying to delete the iCloud account on my iPhone that is associated with an old email address no longer in use, so I can set it up with my new email address. I am unable to delete the account until I turn off "Find my iPHone" which it won't let me do unless I log in under the old email address..... Problem is, I don't remember the password for the old address/account. It is no longer functional so I cannot request a reminder. I've already updated my iTunes/Apple ID with my new email address. I'm stuck!! Help!

I changed my primary email and icloud is still set for my old email. I tried deleting my icloud but it aks me for the old password associated with the old email that I don't have anymore. Any other sugestions on how to get icloud to change emails on my ios?

I figured it out! I changed my email & password at the icloud site, then when I deleted the icloud account on my iphone - it still showed my old email but when i typed in my current password it went through. I was then able to sign back in with my current email and password. That was too easy for the amount of time I have put into this! Glad its finally fixed.

I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks

Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

My apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account. I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone. any ideas?

my apple id for icloud is linked to an invalid email address and i do not have the password for the account. I need to delete the account to access my icloud on my iphone. any ideas on how to override this issue?

If you updated the old ID at one point to create your current iCloud 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 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.

I have an I Phone 4s, 16K. IOS 8.1 (I think, although I can't check it on my phone) that apparently is associated with my old email address that I no longer have access to and my phone says connect to I Tunes to activate.
How can I activate my phone? How can i disassociate my phone from the old email address and associate it with the new one?

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

HT204053 How can I change the iCloud id associated with my iPad?

How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

To change the ID for:
iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in. However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data.

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.
