Adding An iCloud email address

I want my daughter to have her own apple ID and email address.
Can she have one under my account?
If so how?

Hi Winston you seem to know so much stuff perhaps you can help me also?
I have just set up Apple TV with my new MacBook Air. I want to play a music DVD on my TV. The DVD is in a small disk drive connected to my MacBook but I can't get it to the TV. Is there any way I can transfer the DVD into my iTunes Library? Or is there another thing I am missing that would make it work? Cheers

Multiple apple IDs. Considering adding an icloud email address.

I've had my apple ID, which is my name, for MANY years. At some point, I was forced to change my apple ID to an email address. I changed it to a yahoo.com address, an email address I've had for ages. Now I have 2 apple IDs. When I do updates on my computer I often have to log into both because some programs were originally installed with my name only ID, and others later with my yahoo account ID.
I've always been confused about Icloud, because I cannot access all of the features because I don't have an @icloud, @mac, or @me email address. I'm considering adding an icloud email address, but am afraid of what the consequences might be. I have a completely different email address that I use for all of my regular email.
Will my name only apple ID change to [email protected]?
Will the apps that I originally downloaded with the nameonly ID know this?
What will happen on my ipad and iphone5?
will i need to set up another email account on my iphone so that my pictures will stream to photos?
Thanks for your help
Todd.

You can create an iCloud account using your existing Yahoo.com ID rather than creating a new ID. (You can use the other one because it has to be in the form of an email address and linked to a verifiable email account.) To do this you would go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID to create the account, then check the data you want to sync with iCloud. When you check Mail, you will be prompted to create your @icloud.com email address. This is the email account that goes with your iCloud account, if you wish to use iCloud email. When you type the name you would like to use for this address, iCloud will search and tell you if it's already taken by someone else, in which case you will have to choose another. Type carefully, as once created, your @icloud.com address cannot be changed. Understand that your iCloud account ID will still be your @yahoo.com address. The @icloud.com address you choose is for email only.
None of this will effect your existing purchased media using your two Apple IDs. These will stay the same as purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Also, Apple will not merge IDs.

How to get an iCloud email address?

I want to get an iCloud email address (@icloud.com) for several reasons, among them:
To streamline my iCloud account access so only that email is associated with iCloud & its services.
To provide email between Apple (e.g. Apple Support) and myself
To be able to use Notes
Currently, I am using the same Yahoo email address for both iCloud and iTunes.
However, I wonder if I can give those up and replace them by the iCloud.com email address?
Some details: I got a new-to-me iPhone a few weeks ago, which was reset, and so the only apps
on it are the default iPhone apps. I have not added any apps.Therefore, I don't mind having to do
another reset as long as I save the few photos and some phone number contacts to a Vcard.
Could I create a new iCloud email address and use that exclusively after reseting the iPhone?
I could restore the contacts and photos from the computer.

What if I were to wipe the phone clean, and start from scratch, never using my current Apple ID at all, but then activate iCloud to get an @icloud.com email address?
Yes, you can do that - please see imp68's post here:
Re: I wish to transfer my Apple ID to a new iCloud account
If you do this, it's vital that you create a 'rescue address' which is a non-Apple address, because if you don't and something goes wrong with the account - for example if you forget your password - Apple can only contact you at the iCloud address which youy can't access.

HT1688 I've created a sharing album on Photo Stream. I've entered my husbands icloud email address so that I can share it with him but he is not receiving the invitations. Can you please let me know if I am doing something wrong?

I've created an album on Photo Stream and I've added my husbands icloud email address (subscribers) as well as mine (just to test it out) and invitations say that they have been sent but no emails are generated or received. I have checked my emails spam folder just in case but nothing has been received. Please help!

This does not answer my question. I'm doing everything correctly but no email is generating that asks the "subscriber" to be invited to see my album.

Contacts no longer in sync between iPhone and Mac after creating iCloud email address

A few days ago, I was asked (by iCloud) to create an iCloud email address because it would be "better" than the email address I've been using. Since then, most of my contacts have disappeared from my iPhone 4s. I have noticed that the newest contacts are still on my iPhone, while all my other contacts are on my Mac and on iCloud.com.
How do I merge the two so that I don't lose any of the contacts and get them all in sync?
On my MacBook Pro, l have OS X v10.9.1, System Settings for iCloud checked for Contacts.
On my iPhone 4S, I have iOS 7.0.4, System Settings for iCloud ON for Contacts.
iCloud account on both devices is the same AppleID, which is my old AppleID, not the new @iCloud.com
My Hotmail email account has also been screwed up since this change. It keeps downloading the same messages over and over again and when I try to delete them, it tells me it is unable to move the messages to the mailbox trash.

Welcome to the Apple Community BratTheCat.
Please try the following…
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
iCloud doesn't change anything to do with non iCloud content, contact hotmail to resolve your hotmail problem.

My icloud email address is included in a friend's address group set up in Gmail. When they send an email to the group, the email never gets through to my icloud address - why?

My icloud email address is included in a friend's address group set up in Gmail. When they send an email to the group, the email never gets through to my icloud address - why?

They've always been able to send to me individually - just not when my email is part of a group or even when it's just included with several other addresses added one at a time.

My iTunes account is under my @yahoo email address and I became accustomed to my @Me email and now like the idea of the @iCloud email address that was made. My questions are....can I change my iTunes account to my @iCloud name without instead of my @yahoo name without losing my years snd years of purchases ? Can I also create an @Mac address ? ....or is my @yahoo and my @iCloud already recognized as the same by apple and my purchases would already be fine as well as restoring my devices ?

Your purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID (account) used to purchase them. They can't be moved to another account and you can merge accounts. You can start making new purchases with your iCloud ID if you want, but you will end up with two sets of purchases under two different IDs, adding further complication to your life.
Also, your @icloud email address is an alias of your existing @me address; emails sent to either address will be routed to the same inbox. You can decide which one you want to use as your default (as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441) but you can't separate them.

HT204053 How do you change the iCloud email address?

Made a typo when adding to icloud and address is incorrect. How do I change it?
Thanks!

You can't change an iCloud email address. To create a new address you would have to create a new iCloud account.
You can, however, create an email alias to use in your current iCloud account which will receive email in your current iCloud inbox. See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a.

Hello susandron
Check out the article below to troubleshoot your issue with that email account. If it is iCloud, you can go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the mail account and toggle off Mail or delete.

How to create a shared Apple ID with iCloud email address for household?

I would like to create a shared Apple ID with iCloud email address that wife and I can share and access from separate devices? A shared household iCloud email address would be useful for email contact for creating/managing bill accounts for utilities, school for kids, bill pay etc… I currently have my own Apple ID on my MBP.
Thanks!

If you mean that you would like to create a shared iCloud account with a shared iCloud email address and you already have an iCloud account of your own, you can do that by creating a new Apple ID (see https://appleid.apple.com/account), then use the ID to set up a secondary iCloud account on your Mac by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>iCloud and signing in with the new ID. You can then turn enable Mail in this account to create the shared email account. Secondary accounts are more limited than primary iCloud accounts, and will only sync Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders and Notes.
Once the account is created, it can be added to iOS devices by signing in with the ID in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud.
Or, if your only interest is in having a shared email account, you might consider just setting up a free Gmail account to share.

HT2623 I currently have an email address with my cable company. In order to use the "@icloud" email addresses, do I also need my cable company email address?

I currently have an email address with my cable company. In order to use the "@icloud" email addresses, do I also need my cable company email address?

That's right, all you need is the actual internet connection. If you want to use the cable company email in addition it has no effect either way on iCloud, it's up to you.
When you sign in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud (Lion 10.7.5. minimum required, or iOS5/6) and check 'Mail' in the list, you will be asked to create an @icloud.com address, and the account will automatically be added to the Mail application and set up. You can also access your mail at http://icloud.com

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

The email address used to Sign into my icloud is no longer active, this is different than my apple id email address though. How can I change my icloud email address to my current apple id email address

When I received my iphone 4s 3 years ago the my apple id and icloud email addresses were the same, it was a student email from the college I attended. This account is no longer active, but when I changed my apple id email address to a current email (gmail account) the icloud address didn't change over. I now have no ability to sign into icloud on my phone and icloud hasn't been updated in nearly a year. I wanted to figure out this problem before I upgraded to the Iphone 6 this December. Is there any way this is possible?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You should still be able to use your college email address, just log in with your details.

I want to use one of my icloud email addresses as a new apple ID. It was an additional email contact address I originally set up for my child. But now, I'd like to set her up on Family Sharing, using that email as her ID. Obviously, when I try to use it when setting up a new apple ID, it says the email is already being used (Yes, by ME) and I need to select a different one. Can I somehow delete that email address in order to set up a new apple ID using it? Or is there another way to "re-use" that address for my child's new ID?

"Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
I noticed the following :
If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.
Best wishes -

I created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID?

I have created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address as the primary email address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID right?
I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
thanks

You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.
