Q: When I try to activate my account the email address it is using is wrong. How do I change that?

On my Iphone 5 I went to the icoud app and it shows and different email address and says it needs to activated and check my email. I can't do this because the email address is wrong. How do I change this?

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the Apple ID (which looks like an email address) that you want to use.
