  • 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.

    You can change your details at the address above (you can't change your ID if it's a me address).
    You can of course create a new account at any time and add it as a secondary to your existing account or use it as a primary account and add your existing account as a secondary 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 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 transfer purchases from one AppleID to another.

  • HT5624 How can I change my iCloud email address

    When I set up my email I made a silly spelling mistake that I did not notice until it was too late!
    Now I seem to be stuck with this. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to change my iCloud email addy. Please.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT204053 How do you change the iCloud email address?

    Made a typo when adding to icloud and address is incorrect.  How do I change it?
    Thanks!

    You can't change an iCloud email address.  To create a new address you would have to create a new iCloud account.
    You can, however, create an email alias to use in your current iCloud account which will receive email in your current iCloud inbox.  See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a.

  • Why can't you use your iCloud email address for your Apple ID?

    Why can't an iCloud.com email address be used to create an Apple ID?  Is iCloud email not to be used as a primary email?

    You can if you create an new Apple ID at the time you create the iCloud account, and choose to create a new @icloud.com email address as your primary email address when creating the ID.  See Imp68's post here for an example of how you would do this on a Mac: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348.
    You could not use your existing @icloud.com email address as it is already an alias for your existing iCloud ID; you would have to create a new one.

    You have now exceeded your iCloud storage, including an additional amount provided to allow you to continue receiving email. As a result, you will not be able to send or receive new email messages with your iCloud email address until you free up storage space or buy more storage. I have 20GB remaining.  WHat is the issue here?

    Today I received the same message but have 4.6gb available from a total of 5.0gb. I also received the same message when i first set up my icloud account and icloud was virtually empty. Unfortunately the only way i can see to contact apple is to pay for a telephone call. If anyone knows what is going on i would appreciate knowing.

  • How do I change my iCloud email address I have changed providers but I cannot chage my  icloud address

    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.
