TS4002 Changing iCloud mail address

Please help me to change from a mistyped email address,  [email protected] to [email protected]
It seems a permanent email address in icloud preference and it won't let me change.
I've tried to change in www.icloud.com, iPad/iCloud setting,and iTune. All didn't do it.
Perhaps if I change my apple ID, I may be able to change this email address...
Is this only way ?? It's not making a sense it won't let me change a simple icloud email change
for this much hassle.
Thank you for your advise in advance !!

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @me.com or @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 however be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.

  • TS4002 change icloud email address

    I keep getting random emails from strangers through my icloud email, im a computer novice and want to stop these emails. I'm not sure how someone has been able to get hold of my icloud address as i dont really use it.  I was thinking of changing my icloud email address other than that is there a way of blocking these random emails.

    There's no way to block random, spam emails.  You could always create a new Apple ID to use with a new icloud account, but that means current data in icloud would be lost.  If your current icloud account is new and you have very little stored on it, then fine.

    Hi adamsfly,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you changed your email address and iCloud is looking to sign in with the old Apple ID email. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    thanks

    You can't change the name of your @me.com or @icloud.com address, but you can set up an alias with a different name that will still deliver email to your iCloud inbox.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

  • How to change e-mail address in iCloud IMAP

    how to change e-mail address in iCloud IMAP. i have to change it to another e-mail address.
    please help
    please find in image.

    Welcome to the Apple community usama.butt.
    Unfortunately you cannot change an iCloud mail address once you have created it. You can however use an iCloud alias which you can set up at iCloud.com.
    To create an alias.....
    Navigate to the Mail feature at iCloud.com and click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner. Choose Preferences from the drop down menu, then select accounts from the options across the top, here you can create your alias.

  • HT2204 Changed e-mail address & Apple ID, verified by Apple. Itunes changed but cannot get Messages, Facetime or Icloud. Keep on throwing up old email address & won't accept new or old password.  Help needed!

    Changed e-mail address & Apple ID. Verified by Apple. Itunes & email working but cannot access Messages,Facetime & Icloud. Keep throwing up old email address & wont accept either new or old passwords. Anyone got a solution?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Can I change my .me alias to my main iCloud mail address?

    I don't like my .me address which I've set up a year ago (with mobileme) and always use my .me alias.
    I would like to alter my .me alias mail address to my main iCloud mail address and/or Apple ID.
    When I try to change it in the Apple ID settings it doesn't work.
    I was trying to set up a completely new iCloud account but because I already moved from mobileme, the function to set up a new account (therefore to get a new mail address) doesn't even appear.
    What can I do? It's very tedious to manually switch the mail account, I am sending emails from, on my iOS devices manually all the time.

    You change the name of your ID at https://appleid.apple.com.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40.

  • ICloud mail address setup issue

    I have a @mac.com Apple ID with @me.com iCloud mail address. When setting up iCloud on my iPhone 4, the email address always defaults to ****@mac.com, when infact I need the email address to be @me.com. The @mac.com address is not actually an email, just the ID. The @me.com address was just setup after the release of iCloud, and is associated with the @mac.com ID. If I go to iCloud.com, I can sign in with either the @mac or the @me.com and both bring me to the same Apple ID @mac.com....man this is long winded..
    So, how can I use iCloud with my iPhone if it defaults to a non-existant address and won't let me change it? Anyone else had this issue?

  • ICloud mail address as primary

    Hello.
    I noticed that new iCloud users could create Apple ID with iCloud mail address as primary. Just when they buy new Mac/iDevice and starting iCloud, they get @icloud.com address and @me.com address and thats it. They could use them as Apple ID login and need nothing else.
    I use Apple services for a long time, so my Apple ID was created before iCloud introducing. And I have to use third-party email addres (google, yahoo, etc) as my Apple ID. Even since my iCloud was merged with my Apple ID and I'm able to login both with third-party email and iCloud email - I still have to use third-party email as primary and I cant change it to iCloud mail (system says that primary email cant be from Apple domain). Why? Why new users could do this and I can not? I dont need third-party email, I dont want to worry about its security (because its a key to all my iCloud services), I want to use just and only Apple service with Apple domain and iCloud address. Why I couldnt do this? Of course I can create new Apple ID (since new users dont have to use third-party address), but I have much apps purchaised from my current Apple ID.

    Ideally, you should purchase your own domain name and setup an e-mail address there. Then, if you want, you can forward that to your @icloud.com account.
    You can, of course, use an @icloud.com account like any other e-mail address. But, like any other e-mail address, you don't own it. It is owned by "iCloud.com" - Apple. If Apple decided to change plans, or start charging, you have to do as you're told because Apple owns your e-mail address. The same would be true for any e-mail address that you don't own.
    Just get your own domain and forward your e-mail to whomever has the best services for your needs.

  • Forgot to sign out of old id and changed icloud email address and cant sign out of find my phone

    I have a iphone 4s and changed icloud email address and forgot to sign out of find my phone. How can I turn it off to change to the new email address that I changed in icloud?

    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.

    Hi Fredek!
    If you click on your name then click on "Resources & Settings" under My Community at the right hand side, it will expand a list of links.  From there you'll want to click on "My User Settings".  On that page is a section right under the search bar titled "Edit HP Passport".  You should be able to click on "Contact Information" and change your email address from there!

  • ICloud - change e mail address?

    I had a typo in my e mail address when setting up my iCloud account. Now, I'm unable to verify my iCloud account because the verification e mail is being sent to an incorrect e mail address. How do I change my e mail address? Thank you.

    Assuming you can login, change the email address at appleid.apple.com.
    I have changed mine several times.

  • How to change e-mail address to log on icloud

    How do I change or add new e-mail address on iCloud to log in?

    You can change your primary iCloud email address, if does not end with @mac.com, @me.com, @icloud.com.
    Start with signing out of iCloud on all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
    After that open http://appleid.apple.com sign in, and now change your iCloud email address (which is also an Apple ID) to your new email address.
    Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again usin
