I can't seem to get my iCloud email to update on my devices. I changed my name so changed my email. It's updated on my iTunes (Apple ID) & updated when I log onto iCloud on my computer but on my iPhone & iPad it still shows my old email on the account & won't allow me to log it. It just prompts me to reset my password. There doesn't seem to be a way to edit this on the device!
Help!
Hi amhartl,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would first suggest going to the My Apple ID website to review or update your settings.

If you changed your iCloud account, you will need to delete the account and then add the new Apple ID and password.

Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Cheers,
