How to change iCloud email address?

YES!! This worked for me. Thank you MattInVegas.

THANK YOU! That first step in iTunes app was key to changing Apple ID. So so happy now.🙂

If only people would read and pay attention to the warnings.

I predict this thread will continue for the foreseeable future regardless of your most excellent post.

It is your iCloud password it needs. Apple presumably uses "Apple ID" for both because they want to encourage everyone to use the same ID for iCloud and iTunes.

This info was great! Thanks for sharing!

So I had a similar problem. I used @aol.com instead of @gmail.com. I did the whole deleting my account and going back in and it worked for me! It took about 5 seconds to do.

This is insane. Doing #2 broke my ability to use photostream via bot my PC and my Mac.

worked for me... thanks:)

Thank you Roscoe23!

I am having the exact same issue. My iPhone is stuck with the old apple id and icloud username.

😢

Worked for me. thanks Matt!

I would reocmmend you to delete old apple id and then add new apple id. its works for me.

Have problem 2 as well. Here I come to complain Apple!

Sorry, the bottom line is, I don't have the old pw so I can't delete the icloud to even try to put a new one in. 😟
