How to change iCloud email address?

You need to sign out of iCloud on all your devices before you change the email address which forms your ID. Failure to do this can cause serious problems on any device which has 'Find my iPhone/Mac/iPod' enabled.

that is a dang good question, are we stuck with our iTunes / iCloud email? I hate how Facebook doesn't let you change your email EVER (at least as far as I can tell)

Also, I have 2 or 3 @me.com addresses, I need to merge them so i can access my purchased content from any account.

good luck

I don't know what answers have been previously given in this thread because obviously I'm not going to read through 450 of them to find out. But, as has probably already been stated:

1. You cannot change the primary @icloud.com address on an iCloud account.
2. If the ID itself is a non-Apple address you can change it; it it's an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address you can't
3. You can create up to three additional @icloud.com addresses as 'aliases' pre accounts but you cannot use them to log in.
4. If you have more than one actual Apple ID and thus different logins to different iTunes accounts you cannot merge them. Purchases remain permanently tied to the account which purchased them.

We cannot help you to remember only something that you would know. Go to: FORGOT APPLE ID to try to retrieve your iCloud ID. Your iCloud ID is an email address - likely your Apple ID email address.

If you do not remember the password, then once you retrieve the ID, go to: Apple - My Apple ID to reset the password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, contact ACCOUNT SECURITY SUPPORT to get a reset link sent to you.

You are going to have to remember your iCloud email address. There is nothing we can do here to help you to do that.

Best of luck,

This was old information seeing as it was posted in 2012 but I still found it useful. Thanks! :-)

How can I change my I cloud email pls help getting harassing messages to my current one

It is not possible to change your primary iCloud email without starting over. You would have to delete your entire Apple account and make a new one. Then you could set up a new iCloud email.
