Is there a way to change my ICloud email address? Changing name of company.
Thanks
iPad 2, iOS 6
Hi Southern,
Are you wanting to change the email account associated with your iCloud account?
If so, on your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud>Account and then at the bottom select Mail. You can change your email address associated with your iCloud account on that screen.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB
Thanks......that will help some issues, but I sure would like to be able to update the name/ICloud account name.
OK - not sure what you are referring to....
Can you provide the path to where you are wanting to make the change, and also provide the exact name of the field you want to change?
Thanks,
GB
Hi again,
One other thought - are you wanting to change your AppleID? If so, and it is not an @me or @mac email address that you use for it, you can change it to a different email address (if the address you are using for your AppleID does end in @me.com or @mac.com, you cannot change it).
You would do that here first:

You will then need to delete the iCloud account on your iPad and sign onto iCloud again using your new ID.
If that's what you are looking for, hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

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).
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.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
