I've changed my email address and now my iPhone will not sync with iCloud. It remembers my old email and does not give me the option to type in my new address. It's grayed out. I've deleted the old account from my iPhone and everywhere else I can find...

You created a new iCloud email account?

You can't change the email address for an existing iCloud email account.

No.

The two are completely unrelated.

An iCloud account is an email account which has nothing to do with your internet service provider or with the email account provided by your internet service provider.

Go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and log in to your AppleID (under the manage section) a with the OLD email address. Now, change the primary email address to your new email address and verify it. You have now altered your AppleID to use the new email address as the primary ID, but the internal account associated with that AppleID is exactly the same.

Now, on your phone, simply delete the iCloud account, and add it back with the new AppleID - since the AppleID is still linked to the same account, you are merely recreating the same iCloud account but with the new updated credentials.

Deleting the iCloud account on the phone and then re-entering worked! Thanks!

I have an iphone 4S and can't find anywhere on the iCloud screens to delete the account.

Hi it is under settings, icloud and then at the bottom "delete account"

I changed my Apple ID. Now when I try to delete my iCloud account it asked for a password for the account that no longer exists, prohibiting me from deleting the account.

Not letting me delete is my issue as well. What's the fix?

When I go to delete icloud on my phone, it pops up with the old email address that I've already changed grayed out, as well. It won't even let me delete the icloud w/o entering password for old deleted account. HELP!!!

I am also expierencing this same issue. Changed my e-mail and now iCloud won't let me sync or delete the previous account. Any update on a fix yet?

This worked - it took me a while to work out that to delete the icloud account you have to scroll much further down than is easy to see. Then I just signed in again using my normal appled ID.

delete your iCloud account in settings - need to scroll right down - give it a flick up. Once deleted you can sign in using your latest Appled ID.
