Associate a previously verified e-mail address with a new iCloud account?

I've decided to start from scratch and create a new iCloud account, having previously used my old Apple ID for iCloud. Now I'd like to associate the extra e-mail addresses I'd verified with the old account with the new one.
I went to the Manage Apple ID settings for the old Apple ID/iCloud account and deleted all the alternate e-mail addresses. I went to the Facetime and Message settings on all my devices and deleted the extra e-mail addresses there too, before removing the old iCloud account from all devices. I then set them up with the new iCloud account.
I went to the Manage Apple ID settings for the new Apple ID/iCloud account and added the extra e-mail addresses I'd previously used with the old one. Two of the addresses worked (verification e-mails were sent) but one of them said "this is already verified with another Apple ID".
When I check the Manage page for the old Apple ID, that last extra e-mail address isn't listed. However, when I try to add it back it immediately reads as 'verified' without needing to send a verification e-mail.
There must be some latent association between the old Apple ID and that last extra e-mail address, a connection I still need to sever. Does anyone have any ideas?

Have iCloud account, have changed e-mail address, can't edit iCloud account, how is this done?

How do I edit my iCloud account?

OK, After an hour or so, I found a resolution to this if anyone runs into the problem as described above.
I had to go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar
Select my iCloud account and turn off all the components
Mail > Off
Contacts > Off
Calendars > Off
Reminders > Off
Safari > Off
Notes > Off
Passbook > Off
Photo Stream > Off
Documents and Data > Off
Find My iPhone > Off
The only component that stalled for awhile was Calendars. I am not sure why as I dont have any data there. Once everything was turned off, I was able to Delete the iCloud account. I cannot explain this behaviour, but it worked.

Reuse an alias email address for a new icloud account?

In my family we are using an "Family" apply id as a shared family account along with my account and my wife's account. We were using the family account to share icloud content between my wife and I and our family iPad. Under the family apple ID I had also created two alias email address (lets call then child1.me.com and child2.me.com) which I had done a long time ago to "reserve" my preferred emails addresses for when the kids were ready to have one. Apple has changed things a bit since before IOS8 and I have begun to disentangle the family account as a shared iCloud between my wife and I and we are now running our own iClouds, though our iPad still runs using the family account.
My daughter is 11 and recently inherited an old iPhone. I had recently created her an apple ID by faking her age and using her gmail account (as Apple would not allow under 13yr olds to have an account). One thing I discovered is that she cannot access [email protected] account that is an alias of the family account so I started to dig into this deeper. Now that Apple has family sharing I thought I would delete the alias child1 and child2 accounts and set these up as proper apple IDs (as apple now allows this for kids under 13) with Family sharing.
I deleted my alias email addresses and tried to create the same as new icloud accounts (as apple does not allow the use of .me anymore) i.e. [email protected] and [email protected]. This is not working however. Apple is telling me that the accounts are already in use. My understanding is that .me and .icloud are interchangeable so my child1.me.com email alias should have prevented someone else from taking child1.icloud.com; correct? So it would seem that I am blocking my own icloud account creation even though I have now deleted those aliases.
Does anyone know when a deleted alias will become available for use as an icloud account? Also is there any better ways to achieve family email/icloud harmony as right now I am finding it a bit of a mess....
Thx.

Do I found that even though I deleted my aliases I was able to add them back in ti my family account even though Apple states that you can. I could not add them as .me accounts though, they had to be .icloud but I was able to maintain the child1 and child2 components. I ended up deleting them again and just setting up entirely new icloud accounts.

Problem verifying mail address after creating new iTunes account

I was trying to create new iTunes account in UK store without credit card verification following Apple's guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534. After creation of new account, I tried to login with new credentials and got message that my email address is not verified. When I clicked OK to verify address, I got following message:
Your request could not be completed. Make sure your computer's date is set correct and that accepts cookies from the iTunes Music store.
Yes, time is correct and no problems with cookies. There is More Info that sends to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1459 which is completely unrelated to me. That page explains Windows problems, do have OSX, latest update.
Any idea what might be the problem ? TIA

Don't create a new account. Update your previous account with any new/changed info and contiune to use it.

When I purchased my ipad I logged on with my hotmail address apparently it got hacked so was advised to change this I did but on the i pad the old e mail address remains as my icloud account name how do I change this ?

When I purchased my I pad at the store they advised me to log on with my hot mail address we did this and apparently found out that my Itunes account had been hacked. I was then told that apple would cancel my hotmail account and that I had to use a new email address which I did logged on everything has changed apart from the Icloud account which is still keeping the old e mail address as my id. Please can someone explain how to change this. When I look on my i pad there is a red bar that says delete account I was wondering if I deleted this would everything be ok if I started over again?
Thank you in advance for any help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Change my Apple ID e-mail address to my new iCloud e-mail?

I've had an Apple ID account for many many years and it was a "hotmail" account. I recently created a new iCloud e-mail address (@me.com) address and tried to change the current (hotmail) address to the new (@me.com) address but an error message comes stating "You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID". I searched the problem and appreantly it's a very common issue. I realize it is impossible at the current time to have this issue resolved, but are there any options? I don't want to use my current hotmail account anymore! But Apple keeps sending my receipts and uses my current hotmail account for communication. What to do? Could I at least let Apple use my (@me.com) address to receive iTunes receipts and notifications? It's good that I could use my iCloud e-mail to log in but the hotmail account still appears as my primary e-mail address. Please help. Thanks.

Unfortunately you can not change the primary address to an existing me.com or mac.com email address, but you can change your hotmail address to an other email address from another provider (like gmail, yahoo, gmx) and setup this account to forward all emails to your me.com address.
If you want an Apple ID with a me.com primary address. Then you will have to sign up again to create a new account. In this case you have to choose "free me.com address..." during the set up process. But note that you have no option to megre accounts, your former purchases will stay with your old Apple ID.

Can I merge my old iTunes account with my new iCloud account?

I think I recall Apple maybe mentioning something like this before, but I've got an Apple ID from years ago with a @gmail.com that I don't use anymore a iCloud account I use all the time. It's not a huge deal to log in and log back out with my other account to get apps and such I bought on my old account but I was wondering if there is a way to merge the two.

Your music will only be where you put it.
Copy it from your backup copy of your old comuter to your new one.
If for some reson you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some content in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

E-mail address on closed MobileMe account on new iCloud account.

So I had tried MobileMe a few years ago and created an e-mail address. I never kept the account and now want to use that same e-mail address on iCloud. It tells me that its in use and when I go to me.com and try to sign in it says I can't renew.
Is is possible to cancel all that out and use that e-mail address on my current iCloud account?

I had a problem like that. After a system upgrade, I started over with an icloud account. Then yesterday I was asked to manually enter my appleid. Because I was new to icloud, I was able to talk to a tech at Apple. After the call was over, I realized that my old MobileMe account had resurfaced and my new icloud account was lost.
Sorry that my reply is not a solution

How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud account? I curently only use one of the three.

Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud account. If you want, you can add up to 3 alias addresses that will receive email in the same iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

While using it my iPad spontaneously came up with the message "This iPad cannot back up to iCloud without a verified e-mail address". There are two buttons to push: "Later" and "Settings". Pushing either button does nothing. It acts as if it is frozen. If I try to slide the off switch, it does not slide. I assume it is frozen. How do I get out of this?

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Hi, incorrect previously used e-mail address suggestions keep appearing in my Yahoo! ID box when signing in & I can't get rid of them.

Hi, incorrect previously used e-mail address suggestions keep appearing in my Yahoo! ID box when signing in. I can't get rid of them. I've tried clearing the cache and cookies. I couldn't find an option to clear private data, don't know if that would work. My Yahoo password is not saved and my password is not the problem. I just want to know how to delete previously used emails from logging in suggestions so they stop appearing, hope you can help, cheeeers - Dave.

Thanks very much for the response Sandee. I tried your suggestion of the Annotation option and this worked! - wonderful.. altho this test now works for me I'd still love to get it working from InDesign.
What I'm trying to achieve... my client had 5 powerpoint presentations that need updating with new branding (totally about 160 pages - with about 20 basic animations - i.e. flashing lights on products etc).
I sold him on the idea of using InDesign/PDF rather than powerpoint - but am needing to find an easy solution for the animations. So I've been working on this test file. Have self taught myself on a basic flash animation (from Lynda.com)... and tried importing both SWF and QT .MOV into InDesign and then exporting to PDF and when it loaded up in Acrobat it would always "unexpectedly quit" upon opening... even after trying different versions of PDF compatibility and restarting etc.
Is there something obvious that I'm not doing right?
Also if I get it to work, does that mean that my client and all their staff around the world will need to be Acrobat Reader 9?
Thanks again for your time and help

What happened to saved previously used e-mail addresses?

What happened to saved previously used e-mail addresses? I don't use Outlook for contacts.

I REALLY hope Adobe will fix this, though I don't think they see a problem here. I don't use outlook, and I am truly frustrated by the slow process of copying and pasting the same email address over and over. The original AdobeSendNow was a fine program, but the new version is really buggy and I am hoping this gets straightened out soon. I also am having error messages when I send files.
In general I am very happy with Adobe products, and wish to stay with them, but I may have to start shopping another file sending program that doesn't give me error messages 25% of the way through a send process. I work on short turnaround times as part of my exceptional customer service, and I can't afford to have that reputation compromised.
(To Adobe's credit, as of today, March 11th, they are responding in a timely matter, and are looking into the issue for me, so I will give them a chance to work on this error problem).

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it

I want to sync my I phone user name (my current e-mail address) with my iPad, PC user name (old e-mail address.) If I delete that current address in the iPhone, won't I also be deleting it in my other devices? They are synced. I don't want to lose it. I just want to get it out of the way on my iphone so it doesn't confuse the transfer of ID names and then I want it back again.. I tried deleting the cloud account, being told the current e-mails would be spared. But all it did was pop up a prompt asking me for the password to my still current email ID. So I assume now that I have to go to mail and get rid of the e-mail account. But I'm scared I'll lose everything in my other devices too.

You can change the email address you use as your apple ID. this doesn't mean you have to delete the old email address as email.
When you delete an email from your device, it is only removed from the device, it does not delete your emails or the email account.
