icloud is screwing up my computers. I don't like it but I have the old .me email address I would like to keep. Can I do that?

No, .me is an iCloud mail address.

Can I get a Mac email address without using the cloud?

Can I get a Mac email address without having to use the cloud? The OS on my desktop computer has not been upgraded to support it yet, but my phone will.

Apple don't provide @mac.com addresses anymore. They haven't done for years.
You can get an @me.com email address but ony by signing up for iCloud on an iOS device or Mac.

How can you keep a BT email address/account active...

Hi
I may potentially be heading into a situation shortly where I will be moving out of my rented accomodation and lodging somewhere while a house purchase goes through.
Obviously I will not be needing my BT account (phone & internet) while in "limbo" but don't want to lose the email address due to the amount of different places I have mail coming to it from, especially as I still intend to be with BT once the move is completed.
Is there a practical solution to this problem other than continuing to pay for a BB service I temporarily won't be able to access?! Once I move (with partner) who is also BT can I join in to her account (or vice versa) and again keep the same email address.
Any advice much appreciated!

Hi at_the_sea,
You can keep the email address but there is a small charge for this per month. You will then be able to integrate this into your partners account whenever you want.
If you want more information on this, fill out the contact us form in the "about me" me section of my profile.
Cheers,
Chris.

HT201342 Can I use a different email address as well as iCloud one

Can I use a different email address as well as my iCloud one

Not from within iCloud. The iCloud email service uses iCloud email addresses.
You can setup any email address on your devices separately to iCloud though.

I have been told my macbook does not have enough gb for Lion. and that i can not keep my mobile me mail without lion. so does this mean I have to drop mobile me and get another email address?

You probably know that mobilme goes away in June this year. There are two ways to access your mail account on iCloud, either through Lion or via the web. Web access won't get you to all the benefits of iCloud but will allow you to get to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, and Find My iPhone. See this FAQ: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html
If you decide to go with Lion, the maximum memory you can install is 4GB, however the system will only use 3GB, which is enough to run Lion. Lion requires 2GB, however, some have not been satisfied with it's performance in 2GB. One source for memory is OWC at http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/

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'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.

My macbook wont allow me to use the same hotmail address as i used on my other computers. How can I keep the same email and log into it on a macbook?

That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

I created my Apple ID in Ireland, but would now like to switch to a German Apple ID, keeping the same email address. How do I delete my old Irish Apple ID, so I can create a new German one with the same email?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Click on your account name in the top right corner of the iTunes store in the iTunes application on your computer, enter your password and click the "view account" button. Navigate to the Apple ID summary where you have the option to "change country or region".
In order to change your location, you will need a credit card registered to an address in the location you are trying to change to.
You cannot change your location if you have credit on your account, if you are unable to spend your credit and leave a balance of zero, contact Apple, which you can do through iTunes Store Support.

My 10 yr old wants to text from his iPod touch. We have 1 family Apple ID. How can I monitor his texts without receiving all of his friends messages? Do I need a separate Apple ID or can I link a new email address to the same Apple ID?

Can I use a different email address for the forums than my Apple ID?

Hi,
I generally use a particular email address for all my computer/IT forum questions. This email address is different than my Apple ID email address.
Can I change my forum email address (doesn't look that way) without changing my Apple ID address?
Thanks,
Scott

Fair warning... years ago I went with my work email address as my Apple ID. Now, with the advent of iCloud and all the other 'services' attached to your Apple ID, I find that half the time I cannot log into any one particular service. Apple's servers and ID system is getting way too messy. Keep it as simple as you can. If you add a different email address you are pretty much guaranteed that things will get more complicated.
These days, to log into these forums I actually have to log into Apple Store first. The discussion log in page will not allow me to log in any longer.
Keep it simple!

How can I add a 4th email address to a Contact?

I sync my iPhone with Google Contacts. On my Mac Pro using Gmail I can keep adding personal email addresses, however, my iPhone is only allowing 3 per contact. Is there a way of adding a 4th email address?

I don't use Google contacts, but I do have an iPhone 4, running 4.3.5. I am syncing to Outlook 2010 on my PC. When I go into Contacts on the iPhone, and select a contact, then go to Edit, I have the option to add another email address as an "Other" under email. I tested it and was able to add a 4th and 5th one. However, the restrictions in Outlook do not allow for the syncing of the addtional email addresses into Outlook, it will only take 3. Go into your contacts and check under the email section after you touch Edit and see if there is a space that is titled "Other" and has Email next to it in grey. The only other thing I can think of is if you have Google Contacts set up as Exchange and there is some type of restriction that way.

Can I have two separate email addresses in my mail?

Hi,
Can I have two separate email addresses/users with my one email account without paying anything extra?
For instance: one email address with [email protected]
And another one at: [email protected]
And, if that's possible:
1. Does it mean paying extra because you are having two separate accounts?
2. Since it is on the same general account, do the emails and return emails show in the same location or do they show in a different place? For instance, if the 2nd user sends and email and someone returns it, will I as the first user name see both of those?
Thanks much,
Lee

You can have up to five additional addresses, but they are not separate accounts. They are called 'email aliases' and are simply extra addresses which feed into the main inbox (and please note that you cannot create any new @mac.com adresses, they will be @me.com). Please see here about aliases:
http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/mobileme.html#alias
It's actually a good idea to give everyone an alias address rather than the main one, since if it gets spammed you can easily change it, whereas as you can't change your main address without opening a new account.
If you need extra email accounts then you could go for a MobileMe Family Pack. Of course you can always set up free accounts with Google or Yahoo.
