Add new iCloud email to Apple ID

My Apple ID is based on my AT&T email address.  I created and added an iCloud e-mail address as an alternate email address to my Apple ID.
Because of some issues, I need to create a new iCloud e-mail address and use it as the alternate email address.  I'm having trouble doing this.  Any thoughts/links of this?

Once created, you cannot change your main @icloud.com email address.  To create a new main address you would have to create a new iCloud account.  You can, however, create an @icloud.com alias address to use that will receive email in your existing iCloud account inbox, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.  Just be aware that you cannot later use the alias address to create a new iCloud account, or move it to a different account.

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • Apple ID and New iCloud Email ID

    Hi,
    Is it possible for me to add a new iCloud email-id to my Apple ID (email-id) ?
    Today I've [email protected] as my apple-id and I had setup [email protected]
    (I check emails on this iCloud account).
    I understand I can't change the [email protected] to another email-id of my choice.
    Is it possible to add another one and associate it with my Apple ID ?
    Thanks.

    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.

  • New icloud email account without changing apple ID

    Is it possible to get a new icloud email account without changing my apple ID?

    Not an account, no: you would have to create a new Apple ID and use it to create a new iCloud account. But it depends on what it is you are trying to do: if all you want is a different @icloud.com email address this is easy.

  • 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

  • How to I make a new icloud email on an existing apple id?

    I want to stop having my gmail be the account's main email for the Apple ID but I can't seem to find a way to neither make a new icloud email nor make my old MobileMe email be the new replacement. Is there any possibility of making an iCloud email that can replace my gmail so I can't stop being notified about anything Apple related on a gmail account? I just want my Apple things in an Apple account and my Gmail things for Gmail.

  • I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

    I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Can I add my icloud email account to my phone if my phone is not an iPhone?

    I do not have an iphone but I have a basic smart phone, however we just bought a new Mac desktop that has the icloud email service.  I was just wondering if I could add my iCloud account to my phone without my phone being an Iphone.

    You can add your iCloud email account to your phone by using these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.  While these apps aren't free, if your phone is an android, you could also look into using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts and SmoothSync for Cloud Calendars to sync your iCloud contacts and calendars.

  • IPad 2 keeps crashing for new icloud email setup

    My iPad 2 16g.. At first it was safari if I scrolled on a website for a little bit. Now it's my icloud email set up.
    I went to create a new icloud email, it got me to almost the full set up and then it randomly just closed. I did it again and I had to start from the very beginning.
    I have reset my iPad a couple of times. I have deleted apps I'm not using, I have a total of 3 movies and 2 CDs. That's all. I have deleted most of my pictures so that I have more memory. I can't figure out how to delete all the iMessages that it says are saved. I delete them in the iMessage app. No matter how low I bring my memory down it still crashes. It has done it in a few apps that I downloaded. I really need a new email!! I don't have a. Computer so I can't ever back anything up, but I don't really use this for anything that important besides games and information apps, oh and movies.
    Any help and advice would be very appreciated

    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
    Power your iPad off and on.
    An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. This is similar to a computer restart.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from the backup.
    If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem. The iPad includes a one year warranty.

  • Problem saving email preferences for new iCloud email address

    I was trying to enter a new email address for iCloud in the Apple Mail program and after clicking save I receive the following message,"Writing your preferences to disk has failed. Your preferences may not have been saved. The permissions on ~/Library/Preferences may be wrong or your disk may be fullI'  I know the disk is not full on my new MacBook Pro. I went into LIbrary/Preferences but could not find the mail preferences.
    The preferences have not been saved because every I time I start the computer the new email is missing from my email preferences.
    Thanks for your help.

    While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
    Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
    Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
    • Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
    • Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
    • Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
    • Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
    • The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
    • Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
    That's all you have to do.
