Hi,
When I try to change my email address on my account I get the following message: "Error: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that (B)."
The password is definitely correct so I am a bit confused as to what is happening.

It's an iCloud "Hide My Email" email address that Apple generates.

Yeah that won't work due to it being seen as a disposable email address. You could add a custom domain to iCloud and use that if you really wanted.
Else, if you wanted to have a custom email you could do name+geekzone@gmail.com as an example too.

Just to explain in case it's not clear both name@gmail.com and name+whatever@gmail.com will get delivered to the same mailbox.
