Add Email Address on My Apple ID Web Page

There is an option to add an additional email address on the MY Apple ID Web page.
It it located below my Alternate Email Address.
If I add an email address with a @me.com host address I receive the error: "Email is already verified for another apple ID". I can enter any combination of names and the same error occurs. Obviously, the error is not related to the name I enter. So the question is: What is the system expecting as a proper name and host for a new email address? If it is a non Apple host, will it be created as an address similar to my Primary Apple ID? And what if anything is it different from an address I create without being created on the "My Apple ID" web page?

Good day ESL1016,
If you change the email address associated with your Apple ID there are a number of places that have settings that need to be changed. One is in the Messages application. This article explains how to make those changes -
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
Look for the section titled Messages and under it Mac with OS X Mountain Lion or later.
Open the Messages app, select Messages > Preferences, then click the Accounts icon.
If you're signed out, click Accounts and sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
If you're signed in with your previous Apple ID, click Accounts, then select your Apple ID from the list of accounts. Click Sign Out, then click Sign Out again when asked to confirm. Sign in with your updated Apple ID or password.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

I have an iPhone which I added my email address as my apple ID. I have just purchased an iPad which I add my other email address by mistake and now I am unable to stream my photographs. I have tried to change my email on both devises but with out luck as it won't reconise my pass word. Any ideas

Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Tap the ID and sign out. Then sign in with your other ID.
If this isn't working, restart the iPad - AFTER you sign out of the ID and then sign in with the correct ID after the iPad restarts.
There is no reason why you should not be able to sign in with the ID that you are using on the iPhone and use that passord with that ID on the iPad.

Why can't I add additional email addresses to my Apple ID?

In my family we share the same Apple ID.
However, we would like to be able to use iMessage and Facetime amongst the different units (iPhones/iPads), which requires me to have several email addresses registered under the Apple ID, as all units (ie. the iPads) do not have associated phone numbers.
However, when I add them directly under Settings -> Facetime/iMessage -> Add Another Email it gives me an error (unspecified - it just says an error occured), when it tries to verify my email.
I then figured that I needed to have all these different email addresses registered to my Apple ID we all are using. Hence I went to appleid.apple.com and signed in to manage my Apple ID. I tried adding additional email addresses under "Add Email Address". But when I push "Save Changes" after having added another email address nothing happens. It just sits there.
I have tried several different browsers on different Macs and even on the iPad, but all with the same result.
Can anybody help?

Hey Thomas,
I was able to get my MobileMe email address verified tonight... I logged into the Manage Apple ID website with my MobileMe email address and it again said it's own email address wasn't Verified. So I tried, for the **** of it, to add an additional Alternate Email Address and added the MobileMe email address for which I was logged in as. It immediately took the email and marked it verified with the green check mark. The only thing, my MobileMe.com email address shows up as the Primary and then again listed under the Alternates. I tried deleting the one listed under the alternate but it doesn't go away. I'm just trilled it's now verified and I can log in and use my MobileMe email address in the iMessage, FaceTime and Find My Friends services!
I still cannot, however, delete my MobileMe email address that's still listed as an un-Verified alternate on my old iTunes Apple ID, but it's not affecting the fact that my MobileMe email address is NOW verified on my MobileMe Apple ID!
So all is finally working now, after a week, and after being on Apple's Express Lane Chat and to the store's Genius Bar on Thursday 10/20 which were both a joke.

Multiple email addresses for one Apple ID?

Hello,
I'm wondering how to add more than one email address to my Apple (ID) account.
The main reason is because when I login to FaceTime with my Apple ID (email address), it then asks me which email I wish to use with FaceTime.
Well, obviously I'm only given one choice (my Apple ID which is an email address)... so I'm curious how I can add multiple emails to one Apple ID account.
This seems to be possible since after I login to FaceTime, it's asking me which email address to use (and only one email, my Apple ID, is presented as an option, since I don't know how to add another email to the same account).
I do not wish to create another Apple ID.
Thanks!

(1) Use the FaceTime > Preferences menu command.
(2) If you see the words "Preferences" and "Accounts" at the top right of the FaceTime window,
click on "Preferences".
You should see the words "Preferences" and "Done" at the top right of the FaceTime window.
(2) Click on "*Add Another Email...*" and enter the "multiple" email.

HT201342 I would like to transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to a different apple id. Is this possible?

How can I transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to another apple id?

It isn't possible. If you need to use a different iCloud account with a different ID as your primary iCloud account, you can still set up your other iCloud address as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with your ID and turning Mail to on. It will be fetch rather than push email, however, as push is only supported in the primary account.

HT201320 Can't Add Email address for FaceTime or Messaging????

Just bought replacement Ipod touch because battery died on old one, can't add email address for facetime and messaging because it says it is already in use. Don't have any information on old ipod...any suggestions? I was able to add the address for mail, but it won't let me add it for messaging or FaceTime.

Did you register your old ipod with apple? If so go here https://supportprofile.apple.com and delete it from your profile

How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

Hi there
How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
Is there any way of resolving this? I
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Providing you aren't trying to change you Apple iCloud email address you can make changes at My Apple ID

HT204053 I have an iPhone 4S and the new Apple TV, both setup with my email as the Apple ID. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. Is a second iTumes Match subscription required for her to use our music from iCl

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID. I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match. Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions? If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
Your move Apple, make it count.

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.

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 iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Can I use my newly created iCloud email address as my Apple ID?

Hey,
I know there have been loads of post regarding iCloud and account issues. I was wondering if it was possible to use my newly created iCLoud email address as my Apple ID and its primary address. I had a hotmail account as my Apple ID before signing up for iCloud. For me it's purely cosmetic and I want to retire that hotmail address.
Thanks
Peter

this has been really bugging me as well, i dont see why we cant do this.
if you create a new apple id you get the option to use a free icloud email as the apple id, but old users are stuck?
