Can I create an email address for a family member using my apple ID?

I converted to iCloud from Mobile Me in October before I created email addresses for my kids.  Can I create accounts for them in iCloud?

Just go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new Apple ID for each kid - note that you will need a different associated email address for each ID, and different from your own, but you can use free addresses such as Yahoo.
Then start a new iCloud account for each using the IDs. You will need to have a separate user account on your Mac for each kid (you should be doing this anyway, and they should be non-admin accounts) and then you can enter the ID in System Preferences>iCloud and create a new @me.com address in each case.
Alternatively you could create up to three email aliases on your own account - these are addresses, not accounts, and deliver into your main inbox alonside your mail, so everyone will be able to see everyone else's mail, which may well not be what you want.

  • How do I add an email address for a family member to my .mac account?

    Can I add an email address for my mother to my .mac account?  I'd like to set up, manage and pay for an email address for her use.  I thought this was possible but can't seem to navigate myself to the place where I can get an additional address.

    So, after further reading I assume that I must ad an apple id for my mother.  Is this correct?  Can I, as the responsible party, control purchases and apps that are added to the device I have provided her?  I'm not so worried about what she might do as I am what a grandchild might do without her knowledge.

  • How to create another email address for my Wife?

    I might be over thinking this but how do I create another email address for my wife? I can't find where to do that? I found the alias email but not just a regular email. Please help someone:)
    Thanks so much,
    Scott

    Hello Scott.
    If this is in reference to creating a .Mac email only account for your wife, you don't so this via the Mail program. This is done via webmail access for your .Mac account preferences.
    An .Mac account alias is free but an alias address cannot be accessed as a separate account because an alias isn't an account.
    A .Mac email only account cost $10 per year and can be accessed as separate account.

  • Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • HT204053 Can I create another email address with icloud. Like we are able to create more then 5 email address in virgin media. Help

    Can I create another email address with icloud.com. Like we can create few email on virginmedia or other provider

    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 or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    You can of course create additional iCloud accounts, but any one device can create only three accounts - after that it can sign into accounts created on another device but not create any more (this is tied to the hardware).

  • HT204053 how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    how can i create multiple icloud accounts for my family members

    Thanks...  I appreciate the reply.  Since I wrote the previous email, I actually went and changed my apple id (the main id) and the documentation I looked at said iCloud will set mail up automatically(?)...  I had it working before. 
    Also, I tried to manually set up the ID via the Mail Accounts screen(s) and I can't figure out what my server information is...  Pop or Imap?  What's the outgoing server and the incoming server?
    I typically have never had problems setting up mail accounts (in apple mail) with no problem.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Can't change my email address for this forum

    I need to change my email address for this suport forum, but can't figure out how to do it.  If I go to my profile, I can see it but I can't change it.  And it's different from my main Apple ID which is set already set correctly with the email address I want to use.
    How do I do this?

    After a long couple of sessions with Apple tech support, here's what I've learned (for the benefit of others):
    If you have more than one Apple ID like I do, then the original one that you used to sign into these forums is the one you're stuck with.
    You can change that original ID's email address and/or password, but you must keep using that "first" set of credentials.  If you try to sign in with your newer Apple ID, it won't work, it'll keep prompting you for the old ID, so make sure you write it (and the password) down somewhere.
    I made the original mistake of creating a 2nd Apple ID when I closed an old email account a couple of years ago and needed to stop using that old email address.  What I should have done, and will apparently have to pay for forever, was to simply change the email address on the 1st Apple ID.
    Bottom line from my experience is be sure to only use one Apple ID.  If you create another, you'll be stuck with both for all time and have to use one or the other depending on which one you originally used in a particular situation. For example, when I get a new iPhone, I have to use the old Apple ID to download all the apps 2 years old and older, then sign out and back in with the new ID to download all the apps 2 years old or newer.  What a pain, but Apple has no way of combining them.  The tech rep said to send feedback, which I've already done.

  • Want to use I cloud but can't open primary email address for verification process

    Hi there, it's my first time to join the Apple community eventhough I have used Ipad for about two years I guess, n have loved it since then.
    Well, I have problem, I want to use I cloud, but I can't  as I have to give verification first by following the instruction from Apple which has been sent to my primary email address. The problem is, I have been unable to open my primary email address because I seldom use it. I use my rescue email address for all my email communication, instead. My question is: Is there any email address of the support staff  because I want the staff to send the instruction for my verification through my rescue email address?
    I have looked up the support page, though, and submitted question which I thought it was the best solution: I want to change my primary email address ( to the rescuer email address) but I was refered to the page " expresslane" which should have been the most convenient way, because all I had to do was just call n talk to the support staff. However, since I don't live in the US, but in a foreign country, talking on the phone is not convenient for me.
    I would really appreciate it if any one can help me with this because I can't wait to use I Cloud. Thank you.
    All the best,
    Suzy
    PS: sorry, I didn't fill out the operating system information n other details because I don't remember it n didn't try to check it out as I was afraid I might lose this message n have to retype all over again.

    Suzy this usually means your apple id primary email address was not verified when you setup your apple id. What you will want to do is go to appleid.apple.com and try and log in under manage your apple id, if it tells you its sent a verification email you can change that email to something else by clicking edit (this cant be your rescue email though) once done a new email should be sent that you can verify and then use icloud. Hope this helps

  • Can't Get the email address for new HP 3525 printer..

    Hello, today I received my HP Deskjet 3525. Although I am using a 3G dongle to connect my PC to internet but still I am not getting an email id for my printer on printing report page. My question is whether the printer must be connected to router to get an email id and if the answer is yes is their anyway I can get an email id for my printer without using router as I do not have a router. Please explain in simple language.Thank you

    Hello Bhujang,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that you are trying to setup the ePrint feature of your Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 printer.
    The printer must be connected to a wireless network that has internet access to be able to use the ePrint feature of the printer (as shown on the home page of HP’s ePrintCenter).  If the 3G dongle you are using broadcasts a wireless network then you should be able to connect the printer to that network.  However, if the 3G dongle travels with you then the printer’s wireless connection would be lost and the web services would stop until the printer is connected to a wireless network with internet access again. 
    If you connect the printer to a wireless network with internet access you can find the printer’s ePrint email address by following the steps in Getting the Printer Claim Code.

    View Solution.

    Hi lbwmson,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that you would like to setup your Officejet 6500A Plus printer to work with your Chromebook.
    First we need to get the printer connected to your wireless network.  This can be easily accomplished from the front panel of the printer. the instructions can be found on page 224 of your User Guide in the section titled "To set up a wireless communication using the Wireless Setup Wizard". 
    The next step is Getting your Claim Code when you enable web services. Once that you have your claim code you'll want to Set Up A Custom Email Address for your printer. 
    We can now set up Google Cloud Print with your HP Printer.  For additional reference I've also included how to Print a Page from Google Chrome Support.  If you are going to use the scanning function please refer to your User Guide on page 41.  It has a section titled "Scan Using Webscan".  It will walk you through the scanning you have available with the Chromebook.

  • Where can I find an email address for Verizon customer service?

    I would like to send an email to Verizon outlining my opinion of their website and how it might be improved, but I can't find an email address.  When I asked the representative, she directed me to the "Contact Us" tab.  There I found a postal address!

    There is no email address only a postal address.  You can try to call CS, but they have no idea what the website does or is, or how to push opinions or concerns up the line.  If you go a regional executive route, you might get a call, but they are not familiar with website operations or even know who to send your issue to.  Perhaps one of your improvement ideas is something we can assist you with, in case it was something missed or we know another way to accomplish what it is you're trying to do.
