I purchased my 1st laptop air & ive had 4iihones I’m on iPhone X . I purchased a new laptop today so I’m giving other to grandsons.
Now when I signed up iCloud I spelt my surname wrong can I change this. I have a seperate Apple ID attached to a different email address. So if it isn’t possible to correct the spelling error then I must delete the iCloud account. Is it possible. HELP
I gather that the problem is with the @icloud.com address, not the Apple ID itself.
Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account, which require a different Apple ID).
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 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.
