All of a sudden old emails are reappearing as new, and are then duplicating themselves

How can I sign out from old icloud email on my device? I changed email recently and by mistake restored my new iphone 6 from old back up with email that doesn't exist. Pls help!

I have changed i cloud email recently, and wanted to set up my new iphone 6 from 2 months old back up. Later I found out that icloud has old email, but it doesn't recognize password to sign out because it is not in i cloud system anymore. Now I cant turn off stupid icloud to reset my new iphone 6
How can I change icloud email or reset and erase new phone 6 if it is stuck on an old apple id which doesnt exist?

The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
If you don't remember the password, start here:

I can't delete my old iCloud email

How do I change my iCloud email? It won't let me delete my old email because it requires a password that I no longer have and the email address does not exist anymore.

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

HT201269 I changed my email address for iTunes & iCloud, but my new phone keeps asking for me to sign in with my old iCloud email and password. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

I had to change my personal email address that was linked to my iTunes and iCloud. According to the information in my Apple ID, it is switched over. My phone, however, disagrees with me. I keep getting a pop-up asking me to sign into my iCloud account, but it has my previous email address Apple ID information displayed. When I look in my settings under iCloud, it still shows my old information and I cannot see any way to change it. Any ideas?

You need to check icloud on the phones setting you will see the old email there
Follow these step to a T
Change apple id back to old email
sign out in settings
then chnage back to what u want the account to be
WIN

I changed the email on my Apple ID and iCloud account, but my iPhone still thinks it's the old iCloud email and won't let me change it. How do I switch the emails on the iPhone?

It won't let me delete iCloud or sign out without SIGNING IN with my old email, which doesn't exist anymore.
It shows no option to sign in with my new email/password and the popups are getting obnoxious.
Now Apple is telling me I can't edit my own post?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If device is signed into iCloud/App Store with an old Apple ID
•Go to appleid.apple.com
•Manage Account
•Sign in with current ID
•Edit Primary Email Address
•Change it to the "old" ID
•Save Changes
•Turn off "Find my device" under •Settings>iCloud
•(Using current password)
•Delete Account under Settings>iCloud
•(Using current password)
•Repeat this process for any affected device
•Go to appleid.apple.com
•Manage Account
•Sign in with "old" ID (current password)
•Edit Primary Email Address
•Save Changes
•Verify Primary Email Address
•Sing into each device with "current" ID under •Settings>iCloud

I cant seem to be able to change my old icloud email address to a new email address

Can anyone help or is it really not possible?
Also is there any reason that when I have changed my Apple ID the old ID keeps coming up in iCloud with the request for the old password..which I can't even begin to remember!! When I follow the instructions to retrieve password I get a fault message and can go no further? Frustrating.

You can't change the @me.com address you created when you opened the account (or if you were a migratee from MobileMe the address you sign in with).
You can create up to three 'email aliases' which are additional addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address. Please see
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
Some people are reporting being currently unable to create aliases. This seems to be because of the rollout of @icloud.com addresses - until your account is updated to use this version of your address (if it hasn't been already) you won't be able to create aliases. The aliases will be @icloud.com versions.

Old iCloud email account on iPhone how do I change to the new one

I have changed my email address in Icloud on computer how do I change it on the iphone x

You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if running iOS 7), 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, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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.

My old Apple ID does not work, so I have a new one, but the problem is, my iCloud is backed up on my old Apple ID, and I tried to delete the account, but then it said that everything would be deleted on my iPad. How do you add another iCloud email?

My old Apple ID doesn't work, so I created a new one. However, my iPad(3) is backed-up on my old apple ID. I tried deleting it(for iCloud) but it said it would erase everything. Help?

If you want to use a new ID, you'll have to create a new iCloud account using the new ID, then migrate your existing icloud data to the new account. Start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll). Next, if you are syncing notes with iCloud, open them one at a time and email them to yourself so you can recreate them in the new account. Finally, if you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, turn off iCloud syncing in your iWork app settings.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Keep on My iPad when prompted. Then sign in with your new ID to create the new account, turn your iCloud data syncing back on and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.
When you turn Mail to On you will create a new @icloud.com email account. You can go to icloud.com sign into your old account and set up email forwarding from your old iCloud email address to your new one if you wish

Recently created a new iCloud account, but want to use my previous iCloud email address (created with a different iCloud account)... help needed!!

Guys,
I hope you can help me out on this, but I have a problem...
A few years ago I created an iCloud account on my old iPhone 4S.
Back then, I used an email address for iCloud registration that's no longer active.
Anyway, I also made an iCloud email address back then.
- Now I have a brand new iPhone 5S (totally love it)... and I just created an iCloud acccount with an other email address than I used back at the time I had my old 4S.
But... now I would like to use the same 'old' iCloud email address that I used on my previous 4S iCloud account.
Since that previous iCloud account is linked to an email address that no longer exists, I don't know how to do this!!
Can someone please help??

Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

How do I get my photos from old icloud account to new icloud account?

I had changed my email for my icloud account, but I was unable to change it on my phone. So I had to reset everything because it kept autopopulating my old icloud email. I had quite a bit of photos and I am unable to locate them. Is there a way I can retain my photos from my old icloud account to my new icloud account?

Use shared Photo Stream:

How do I link two icloud emails to one?

I have my old email linked to my phone and my new email linked to iPad...Can you tell me how to merge them to one email and one icloud??

I assume by "email" you mean ID (which looks like an email address). You can merge the data from one account with the other by signing into the account you want to abandon, then migrate the data from that account and merge it with the other. To do this, sign into the account you are leaving, then save any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with account, you'll need to open each one and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in the other account account as these cannot be migrated. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password when prompted (if running iOS 7). Then sign into the other account and choose Merge to upload the data from the old account and merge it with the new one.
You will be leaving the old iCloud email account behind as you can only have a single iCloud email account with each iCloud account.

How do I change my old icloud e mail under advanced settings?

How do I change my old icloud email under advanced settings? Can anyone help me? I am ready to run my ipad over!!

In what advanced settings? Which app?
You can't change the main email address belonging to your iCloud account, if that's what you're trying to do. You would have to create an entirely new iCloud account from scratch.
Or are you trying to create an 'email alias'. You can have up to three of these - they are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the sam inbox as your main address. Please see:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
Note that new aliases will be @icloud.com. not @me.com.

Change iCloud email in iMessage/Facetime

A few weeks ago I changed my iCloud email address and I haven't found any trouble changing it everywhere EXCEPT for iMessage/Facetime..
When I go on my iPhone to Messages > Send & Receive > Use your Apple ID for iMessage
I keep getting the pop up that wants me to enter the Apple ID password for my PREVIOUS email address.
- If I give in the old password to my new icloud email address it DOESN'T WORK
- If I give in the new password to my new icloud email address it DOESN'T WORK
- If I keep giving in the wrong password (for 5-6 times) it just says I need to reset the password to THAT OLD ICLOUD EMAIL ADDRESS.
I'm getting tired of this, why can't I just change the email address? I mean I see the box to change it but then EVERY SINGLE TIME the pop up goes over it and asks for that password...
Help please? This is really frustrating!

Hi RaniDHulster,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Since both the Messages and Facetime apps are tied to your Apple ID, the first step is to sign out of these two apps and update the Apple ID information. Then you should be able to turn the apps on again in Settings and enter the corrected Apple ID. The links below will explain:
Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
Before you change your Apple ID:
Sign out of all Apple features and services that you use with your current Apple ID.
Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
Click on My Apple ID to access and edit your account.
The link below will help you get in contact with our Apple ID account security team if you need more help:

Can't re-login onto iCloud email

Had to hard reset my phone and restored it as a 'new iPhone'. But unfortunately it won't let me reach my old icloud email that I had before I reset it, which was my main email. When I try to login under iCloud it says the account has already been added to my phone. How do I re-reach that email account?

Settings>Mail,Calendars... and go to the Mail section. Be sure you have the icloud account defined.
