Alias cannot be saved

I only have one alias set up - but trying to add a new one, the only message that appears is Alias Cannot Be Saved.
Is there a documented Support solution for this issue ?
It seems ridiculous to have one generic message instead of explaining why the alias cannot be saved.

That's so, but you won't be able to create a new alias until your account is updated. There's no way of knowing how long this will take: you should get an email telling you when this is done (though I didn't) but you could check by sending yourself a message to [email protected] from time to time. When it stops bouncing you may be good to go with the aliases.

  • ICloud Mail: Alias cannot be saved

    When I logged in on iCloud.com (also on my iPod Touch) my mail aliases have been disappeared! And that happens now that I wanted to switch to iCloud as mail service. Then I tried to create a new one, doesn't matter what I fill in, what label color I choose or what description I give, It just doesn't let me create an alias, the message I get is, and I try to quote: 'Your alias cannot be saved!'. That's it! I wish I could create an alias because I use my alias as, some kind, of my primary address.
    I tried it in the web app, as well as in my iPod Touch, they've just vanished, gone.
    To be clear: I am no mobileme user, nor have my account been transferred (mobileme -> iCloud).
    Can anybody help me or does anybody has the same problem? Please let me know in this discussion topic so we can collect all these issues.

    The .me alias i replaced now with the @icloud.com.
    So al the .me adressess i had (and did not use) are now @icloud.com
    But if i e-mail to my e-mail adres (or alias) @icloud.com the message is rejected.
    Seems that there is some development, i'll wait a little longer. The error now is:
    Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address
    Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias:  *****@icloud.com
    Remote system: dns;p01-asmtpout.me.com (TCP|17.172.204.247|41851|17.172.193.192|25)

  • "this alias cannot be saved at this time"

    I've been trying to add an alias to my icloud account since september.
    I have 2 of 3 available.
    it should work.
    But every time I try it said "this alias cannot be saved at this time"
    The only answers I've found in these forums is "icloud is still being rolled out, just wait"
    That's not an acceptable answer, especially since I got the official email that my icloud was active, months ago.
    There must be another answer!
    Anyone?

  • What causes "Cannot save alias This alias cannot be saved atthis time" error message

    "This alias cannot be saved at this time" message results from attempt to create an alias in Mail. I have 3 of 3 aliases emaining. The alias chosen does not duplicate an existnng one.

    same problem here... 3 of 3 remaining + error message when trying to create a new alias.
    My girlfriend's account was a newly created icloud account and aliases can be created successfully.
    However, my account was migrated from the old mobile.me. Wondering if this is the possible cause?
    Maybe try creating a brand new icloud account and see if the problem persists. The issue then becomes an apple fault.

  • Cannot save alias. The alias cannot be saved at this time.

    I'm trying to create an alias and cannot. Error is title of this post. I've searched this issue in the support community and only see similar issues as recent as 2013 and 2012. I'm wondering if there is any support for this issue. Thanks!

    Be sure you do not have more than 3 aliases (or 2 if you are trying to make a new on). iCloud: Create or change email aliases
    You can have up to three active email aliases, and you can delete or deactivate (turn off) an email alias at any time.
    If that is not the issue, contact Apple so they can see what's going on with your account.
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
    Note: If you had five MobileMe email address aliases when you moved your account to iCloud, you retain the five aliases. However, once you delete one of your five aliases, you can’t create a new one to replace it.

    Hey all,
    The title - that's the message I get when I try to create an alias on iCloud. What is wrong there ?
    Cheers nonetheless,

  • ITunes Music Library file cannot be saved.  An unknown error occurred (-54)

    I just went through the problem of not being able to access my iTunes library and think I got that fixed. It is on an external drive because it is about 55gb's of HD space. I have it linked via an alias on my internal drive of my powerbook.
    Now I get this message: The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred (-54).
    First question: If Apple has tagged it with a -54 then it wouldn't be unknown would it?
    Second question: I can still play music through iTunes, this dialogue just keeps coming up, with the option to not warn me again. Is it anything to worry about?
    Thanks for any help.

    Please let me know what you decided to do with this problem. I am suddenly getting the same "error" message. Well, except that my "unknown error" is tagged as (-50). I'm searching through the discussions now.
    I had some trouble with iTunes earlier in the week (after wiping out my iPod and other not-so-helpful "tips" on here) I wound up reinstalling Quicktime. But it worked fine until just now.
    Now keep in mind, I subscribe to tons of podcasts and add new music both from iTunes Music Store and other sources all the time.
    thanks,

  • "iTunes library file cannot be saved. The disk you are attempting to use is full."

    Trying to back up iPad to NAS, "iTunes library file cannot be saved. The disk you are attempting to use is full." I already changed my iTunes settings which now points to my NAS. In ~/Library/Application Solution/MobileSync/Backup I created an Alias which points to the NAS. What else can I do to backup my iPad to my computer? I'm a newbie on OSX but have lots of experience on Windows systems. I always believed Apple OSX is easy to handle but iTunes seems to has it's own "will".

    No suggestions? I'm wondering and a bit disappointed that no one has comments to this. Is it so difficult with OSX? Comments appreciated.

  • IPod Classic 80GB - "iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation" It says it has synced but it hasn't. Help please I am not very tech minded

    iPod Classic 80GB. Message reads ' iTunes library cannot be saved you do not have enough access privileges for this operation'.  It says it has synced but it hasn't. Please help, I am not very tech minded.

    See this article about troubleshooting the error message regarding access privelages.  It may be preventing your iTunes library from being able to save/retain music you have recently imported to it, which may explain why no new content is being added to your device.

  • Trying to back up iPad to external hard drive, "iTunes library file cannot be saved. The disk you are attempting to use is full."

    This issue is somewhat complex so I will try to explain it as clearly as I can. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    It all began when I kept getting popups from my iPad saying that I had not backed up since May. I realized that was pretty dangerous so I decided to finally try syncing it to iTunes, though I had avoided doing so for so long because I knew that when I tried there was no room on the computer. I then remembered that I have an external hard drive with plenty of storage space, so I got that out and set it up with a folder to move iTunes and the backup into.
    On iTunes I went to the Advanced Preferences and changed iTunes Media Folder Location to the G: folder, with the keep organized box checked. I also copied the previous backups from the original C: drive to G: so that I could delete the ones on C:.
    I used Junction Link Magic to link my now empty MobileSync backup on C: to a new (JLM would not work unless it was empty) backup folder on external hard drive G:.
    I plugged in my iPad to iTunes to sync it, and while it was backing up I checked the new folder on G: to make sure that the backup was being put there. It was.
    However, about halfway through I got the message "iTunes library file cannot be saved. The disk you are attempting to use is full."
    My question is Why? If it is being made in a 1.5 terabyte hard drive now, and not the computer, why is there no disk space? My guess is that it must still somehow be saving to the computer. But how? And how can I get it to save solely on the G: drive where there is enough room?
    I am running Windows XP and the latest version of iTunes.
    An additional but not as crucial issue:
    Much of my music has been lost, with the being displayed next to the songs in the iTunes library, and only 50 (purchased) songs remain on my iPad. This was because those missing songs were stored on a different external hard drive ( I:). However, I copied many of the music folders on I: over to G: so that everything could be together. I am wondering if it is possible for me to get these songs back onto my iPad. But this is not my most important issue right now, because I believe that once I get the first issue solved I can simply plug in I: and G: at the same time while syncing the iPad, and get the songs back.
    Note: I have come to realize the iTunes program itself is still under Program Files in the C: drive. Does this have to do with anything?

    Short term, free up some disk space. Long term, move the library to a bigger drive.

  • Whenever I try to open an attachment I get "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred"

    Title says it all. If I try to "open" an attachment, the download dialogue comes up and the progress bar begins to fill, then when it should be complete I get the message:
    "The download cannot be saved because an unknown error occurred
    Please Try Again."
    I can still save the files, but then I have to delete them (and that's just a hassle). Any help would be appreciated!

    Tools, Options, Attachments, Incoming. Then set to your prefered PDF reader.
    An update has reset this to the internal PDF viewer rather than sticking with the one you had before. This reader does not work on my machine.

  • ITunes Library File Cannot be Saved. The Disk Cannot be Read From . . .

    I use a MacBook Pro with a healthy battery. My iTunes songs are on a USB drive. The Database and XML files are on my MacBook. Power went out in my house and the USB drive shut off. The MacBook stayed up and running. Power came back, powered on the USB drive, open iTunes, and bang: This sorry error: iTunes Library File Cannot be Saved. The Disk Cannot be Read From or Written to.
    The disks are healthy, did an fsck and ran disk verify/repair. No problems. Restart iTunes, same error. Obviously a corrupted Databse file. This wouldn't be a big deal if only the XML info would be useful and actually restore critical info such as play count and dates which is essential for the Not-So-Smart Playlist dependencies to work.
    This is the third time I've been burned with corrupted iTunes "Database" files. I use "Database" in quotes because a true Database wouldn't crap out like this. It would be recoverable. It would understand a simple SQL "Where" statement. It would have a maintenance script and some means for recoverable backup beyond the lame process of copying the XML file. Or it would at least read in the info the XML file.
    I am becoming disillusioned with iTunes and I'm beginning to yearn for my old Linux box running GTKPod which never failed me....

    OK, here's an update - After doing the restore as mentioned having everything seemingly work, I erroniously downloaded the iTunes 7.4 & 7.4.1 updates. Now, about 80% of library is non-responsive, ie: shows up in iTunes, but clicking to play does nothing at all. the other 20% of my library plays, but it's not the song it is supposed to be playing. For example, clicking on a song from say, ABBA prodes a wonderful Gorillaz track :-/ (The same Gorillaz track which will not play if I select it...)
    I reiterate: WE NEED A MEANS TO BACKUP OUR LIBRARIES RELIABLY!!!!!!!!!!

  • I keep getting an error "The iTunes library cannot be saved. The required disk cannot be found." how do I fix this?

    I cannot get past this error. This is the third time I am having this issue with iTunes. I have moved my library off of the systems hard drive onto an external as advised by an Apple Store rep, and now I am back to this. What have some of you done to avoid this error?

    == Error -54 ==
    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Some of the old codes still apply to OSX although there is no formal list of OSX error codes.)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.

  • I have a new PC and I am getting the message "The iTunes Library File cannot be saved.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."  I am the only one using this PC and I have Windows 7 Pro and have an administrator account.  Help

    Can anyone help me with this problem.  ITunes message," The iTunes library file cannot be saved.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."   I have administrator account and transferred files from old PC.  I downloaded new iTunes program on new PC.  I synced my iPhone to new PC, no problem.  I deleted old account after indicating shared files to new admin account.  Can anyone help?

    A belated reply, as the problems itunes has have discouraged me from using it much. If you uncheck the "read only" box, it doesn't stay that way! Next time you use it, the box comes up checked.
    I'm still having that problem, even when I open iTunes as administrator.
    I've yet to see the answer to this problem. I use itunes mostly to download audiobooks, and I'm ready to download more, and want to save them!
