TS4036 Cannot verify iCloud email address....

How do I change the email account information for iCloud? My original email account has been deactivated due to lack of use and therefore cannot be verified when prompted by iCloud. I'm trying to restore my iPhone with all of my stuff.

Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ to manage your iCloud Apple ID, then click Edit next to the primary email address and change it.

Cannot change iCloud email address on iPhone 5 (iOS 8)

I changed my apple ID. I updated iCloud on my Mac (even my iPad works fine), but my iPhone still shows my old email. I attempt to "sign out" and it wants my password for the iCloud user. No password will work because that email doesn't exist with iCloud anymore.

Hey jarodcore,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are unable to sign out of your iCloud account after changing your Apple ID. The following resource may provide a solution:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.

I have just opened a new icloud email address and am unable to open ANY of the messages in my INBOX. For each item I get the message "Cannot open this item. This operation is NOT supported until the entire message is downloaded. Download the message and try again". I now have no clue what I need to do to open these items. Help please.

What version of iPhoto do you have installed? Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5. It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

I cannot get my email address to verify or use facetime

I'm having trouble verifying my email address and I am not getting certain emails that apple is sending me to fix this. I want to use facetime and I can't get into the app. I've changed my wifi numbers but I still can't get in.

Hi PlainStreet,
For information on verifying your email addresses associated with your Apple ID, see this article:
Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
Cheers!

You have to delete your iCloud account from your iPad and then sign in with your new email address. Read the response in this discussion from Winston Churchill.

Can I use my icloud email address as my Apple ID?

Hi,
I have tried searching for an answer to this but couldn't find one. To me, it would seem like the logical thing to do. The reason I ask, however, is that when you go to create an Apple ID it states the two criteria are (1) it has to be a verified/established email address, and (2) it cannot be an Apple domain. I'm assuming 'iCloud.com' is considered a domain?
Can anyone advise on this, please?

You can't use a @me.com, @mac.com or @icloud.com address as an Apple ID because they are registered to an Apple ID. However, you can set them as the main Apple ID email account, but not as the Apple ID

Multiple apple IDs. Considering adding an icloud email address.

I've had my apple ID, which is my name, for MANY years. At some point, I was forced to change my apple ID to an email address. I changed it to a yahoo.com address, an email address I've had for ages. Now I have 2 apple IDs. When I do updates on my computer I often have to log into both because some programs were originally installed with my name only ID, and others later with my yahoo account ID.
I've always been confused about Icloud, because I cannot access all of the features because I don't have an @icloud, @mac, or @me email address. I'm considering adding an icloud email address, but am afraid of what the consequences might be. I have a completely different email address that I use for all of my regular email.
Will my name only apple ID change to [email protected]?
Will the apps that I originally downloaded with the nameonly ID know this?
What will happen on my ipad and iphone5?
will i need to set up another email account on my iphone so that my pictures will stream to photos?
Thanks for your help
Todd.

You can create an iCloud account using your existing Yahoo.com ID rather than creating a new ID. (You can use the other one because it has to be in the form of an email address and linked to a verifiable email account.) To do this you would go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID to create the account, then check the data you want to sync with iCloud. When you check Mail, you will be prompted to create your @icloud.com email address. This is the email account that goes with your iCloud account, if you wish to use iCloud email. When you type the name you would like to use for this address, iCloud will search and tell you if it's already taken by someone else, in which case you will have to choose another. Type carefully, as once created, your @icloud.com address cannot be changed. Understand that your iCloud account ID will still be your @yahoo.com address. The @icloud.com address you choose is for email only.
None of this will effect your existing purchased media using your two Apple IDs. These will stay the same as purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Also, Apple will not merge IDs.

It keeps asking me to verify my email address and says a verification link has been sent to my email, but no link is in my email! Please help!

I just bought a new apple computer and trying to set everything up, but it wants me to verify my email, but I cannot find the link it says it sent to my email. How can I verify my email address for iCloud and iTunes, FaceTime, everything>>>Im so confused please help, thx:)

Hi Jangelique34,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot verify your Apple ID. If you are not receiving the email to verify your Apple ID please refer to the attached article for information on how to resolve this situation.
If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email

HT204053 how do i change and activate my icloud email address

How can i change my icloud email address and also do i have to activate it as i have never recieved any mail on it ??????
Does it have to be an @me.com account

Unfortunately you cannot change an @me.com address. Each account will require verification, if you have not yet verified your account:
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.
