Trying to use same email for Apple ID and iCloud. My iPad will not let me change the email address associated with iCloud and therefore I cannot access nor update iCloud. I've tried everything I can possibly find but nothing works as the email address keeps reverting to one I do not use and do not have the password for. What to do???
Is this an old iCloud ID that you have since updated to a newer ID?
Also, what version of iOS are you running?

Since I updated my iPad (today) to the latest iOS, this is happening. The email address that won't go away is from some other ID that was used in the past.
When you go to Settings>iCloud, does it show the old ID ("email address") at the top?
Also, is this old ID ("email address") an earlier version of your current iCloud ID?
Yes it shows the old address.
It's a totally different email address from the older ID. However, it's still a valid email address.
Try the troubleshooting steps in this article: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud. If you're saying your new ID is completely new, and not an updated version of the old ID, it may not work.
Not working. Nothing works. I can't get rid of it. I can't sign into it.
BTW I have it right on my iPhone and on my laptop. It's just the iPad that is not cooperating.
If Find My iPad is turned on, you won't be able to sign out of the old ID without providing the password. If you don't have the password, you can change it as explained here: iCloud: Change your iCloud password. If you are unable to, contact the Apple account security team for your country for help changing it: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. If your country isn't listed, you can ask iTunes store support for help by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
what if I have used wrong email? instead of .com I typed in .con can I still change it?
Yes
iCloud has wrong email and won't let me change it
