Want to change my iCloud email address?

How do I change my iCloud email address?

You can't change you iCloud email address unless you create a new iCloud account.  You can, however, create an alias @icloud.com email address that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.

  • How can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??, how can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??

    hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

  • Can I change my iCloud email address and keep all of my music, apps, files and mail in the cloud and on all of my devices?

         Ok, so here's the deal. I want to change my iCloud email address. Ultimately I want to keep the same Apple ID and simply edit the part before the '@icloud.com'. If this is not possible, can I make a new Apple ID and transfer all of music, apps, files, and mail to the new Apple ID and all of my other devices?
                        Thanks in advance, Scotty P.

    You cannot change your iCloud email address but you can setup a new alias: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
    You cannot transfer purchases from one AppleID to another.

  • HT5621 how can I change my iCloud email address?

    I want to change my icloud email address but I dont know how. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Kate.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
    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.

  • HT4436 Changing my icloud email address

    I am getting married soon and want to change my iCloud email address. How can a person do this?

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).  then log back in using your account.  Of course if your sister has taken over your account, then you need to log her off your account and back in using her account.

    how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    Hi sparkie,
    You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
    Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

    Hope this helps!

  • Can I change my icloud email address in iOS 8?

    Can I change my iCloud email address in iOS 8.1?

    Hello there Chesterg1,
    It sounds like you want to sign in with a different iCloud email address on your device running iOS 8. You can do that in Settings:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Can you change the icloud email address linked to you icloud account?

    Some how the my husbands iCloud email address got linked to my iCloud account is there a way to change the iCloud email address to another?

    Not without creating a new iCloud account.  If you want to do this, create a new ID with the email address you want to use, then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your device.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    This will not move your photo stream, however.  If you have photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll and that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account.  To do this, open your photo stream album on your device in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  You can then delete the iCloud account and your photos will stay in your camera roll.

Seriously, I don't want this. How did all these robots get my email address? it's got to stop.
    How do i change my icloud email address so all of their emails return to them? I need to shut it down.
    thanks for any/all help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't change your iCloud mail address. Use Mail on your Mac to create rules (mail preferences) to automatically delete the mail you don't want.

  • HT201342 I'd like to change my iCloud email address or create a new one, how do I do this?

    I'd like to change my iCloud email address or create a new one, how do I do this? I'm starting a new business and I've not really used my iCloud email address, I'd like to change the name to the business name. Can I do this? If so, how?

    You can't change an iCloud email address.  You can create an alias address to use that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, but it will still be an @icloud.com address.  If you want to do this, this article explains how to create an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Note: once you create an alias address, you can't use it to create a new iCloud account, move it to another account, of reactivate it should you ever delete it.
    You should also be aware that iCloud is designed for personal rather than business use, and as such, there are limits place on iCloud email accounts as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4863.

  • HT204053 I need to change my icloud email address

    Started a business and would like to change my icloud email address to my business name. Please help

    Once created, you cannot change your main iCloud email address.  You would have to create a new iCloud account to do that, and the email address would end in @icloud.com.
    If you want to keep your current iCloud account, you would have to create and alias email address as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.  This will be a new @icloud.com email address that will deliver email to your current iCloud inbox.  Just be aware that an alias address is permanently tied to the iCloud account you create it in.  It cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, or moved to another iCloud account.

  • How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a spelling mistake when setting it up?

    How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a small spelling mistake when creating my new iCloud email address originally?

    When a user creates an icloud account, they use an Apple ID, like [email protected] to define it.  If this use of an ID is what you mean, then NO you can't change it without creating a new ID and thus new account.
    But if all you want to do is have a different email address associated with the account, then that you can do by defining an alias email address.  Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Mail page.  In the upper right there's a cog wheel, click that and then choose preferences, then accounts.  In the icloud account, you can add a new alias.  Note that it must be of the format  [email protected]

  • I want to create more icloud email addresses.

    I want to create more icloud email addresses.

    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.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

    I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

    That's because you can't change your iCloud email address.
    You can change the AppleID address associated with your iCloud account at http://appleid.apple.com/
    Or you can setup a new email alias to your existing iCloud address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
    But you cannot change the primary email address for an existing iCloud account. If you want a completely new iCloud email address you need to create a new iCloud account using a different AppleID.
