How to change iCloud email address?
I entered a test address when setting up iCloud, but now cannot find out how to change this to the email I would like with the @me.com ending. Any ideas?

Derkrieger- I agree, there should be a proper fix for this without creating a new appleid.
The best way to do this in my case was to go to the iCloud website and go to the Mail app. There I went to preferences and to the adresses tab. There I made an alias @me adress, and bob's ur uncle 🙂
Matts solution does work. I did it and ik worked fine! i just kept all of my data on my mobile and signed in with
another account.
So thank u very much matt!
Yes, this definitely worked for me
What is the step by step way to set up the ALIAS?
Could you explain this in more detail. Cannot find/thanks
Thanks Matt it worked fine
Thanks, Bill, for getting this back on track. Maybe a new thread regarding the original intent is warranted.
This worked great. Thx
Matt's solution did work for me. I have two Apple IDs and wanted all my devices on iCloud with the same one. I followed Matt's idea and it worked like a charm. Thanks Matt.
This worked perfectly for me! Turning off Contacts, Bookmarks, etc. allowed me to delete the iCloud account and create a new one with my new email address.Thank you!
Thank You. this worked well
Ditto - I simly want to make my gmail account my iCloud email.... Apple are you listening? tm
I had the same problem you all are describing...I deleted account and deleted from iPhone and started over. Worked like a charm...Thanks Matt
Right! ^^^
You can change it by "replacing information on this device" and syncing the iCloud address you wish from iTunes on your computer
