Can Log Into ICloud with Apple ID - but wrong Apple ID is shown in Account Settings

So no problem logging into my wife's ICloud account with her regular AppleID and password. Once within her ICloud account, when you click on her name ("profile icon") in upper right corner - her Apple ID in the bottom field is not her Apple ID. My assumption is that it should be her normal Apple ID, (which is an AOL email address), correct? How can we fix this?
The Apple ID that currently shows is actually a "mistake" that has no password associated with it. It was created when I made an [email protected] email address for our daughter, so she could have her own Apple ID for FaceTime on her iPod. When creating that [email protected] address on her iPod, it told me that the name was already taken, and offered me an alternative, which I agreed to. So now there must be the original owner of this [email protected] address that is now associated within my wife's ICloud Account.
How do I fix this error?
<<<<<Additional information - I created a Family Calendar and shared it with her AppleID and it did sync up with both of our new iPhone 5s, but now if I enter an event on my phone, it won't go to her phone. However, if she makes an event on her phone, it does pop up on my phone. Also, If I make an event within my ICloud Calendar, it goes on both of our phones.>>>>>
Please Help with a solution - ICloud is a great concept...

Also, we are unable to Share any of her calendars, Error reads that "there is a server error, try again"
I assume it is all related...

  • HT204053 Can I log into iCloud with an alias email?

    Noob here, did a search and couldn't seem to find an answer. (or I didnt look hard enough. ) So aplogies if these have already been asked before.
    I want to change my iCloud email address, but I've searched around here and read that you can't change it once you create it and link it to your apple ID. So, I created an alias and was wondering if you could log into iCloud with an alias email?
    For example if my iCloud address is [email protected] and my alias was [email protected], could I go to icloud.com and login using [email protected]?
    Also, what are the proper steps to get the alias email to behave like the icloud primary email;I stupidly chose a dumb icloud email address and regret it, and if I set the alias to be the only email to be able to send mail in my iphone and macbook, can I basically ignore the primary icloud email and use the alias the whole time to send and compose mail?
    Also, I don't necessarily need to know/use the primary icloud email, since I use my apple ID to log into icloud.com?
    From what I understand, the primary icloud that is linked to your apple ID is mail server, right? I'm not really sure, to be honest.
    Thanks!

    In the Mail application on your Mac, add the aliases, separated by commas, to the 'Email address' field in Preferences>Accounts>General. They will then appear in the drop-down menu for the 'From' address in the New message pane.
    They already appear in the equivalent place in the new message pane at icloud.com.

  • I can log into iTunes on my iMac but it won accept the ID and PW on the Apple TV, why?'t

    I'm new to this also.  I can log into iTunes on my imac but the same ID and PW will not allow me to get on through Apple TV.  Why?

    It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
    You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
    TCP 123
    TCP 3689
    UDP 5353
    TCP 80
    TCP 4343
    TCP 53
    This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

  • I can log into iTunes and App Store but NOT iMessage. What gives?

    I'm currently using Wifi with my 3rd gen iPad. iOS 6.0.1. I'm not home so I don't have access to my iMac (actually currently at 30k ft somewhere over Virginia :) ).
    Anyway, I can log into iTunes, access the App Store, sign out of those, log back in. No prob. I used my appleID and pass to write this message. But I cannot get into Imessage, and I can't figure it out!
    I get an error saying: "could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." If I try to make a new appleID, imessage thinks and thinks...nothing happens.
    This isn't a new issue, it's been like this for quite a while, since upgrading to iOS 6 months ago. How can I get into imessage on my ipad? For what it's worth, it works fine on my iPhone.
    Would appreciate any help!

  • Travelling in Mauritania, cannot log into icloud with my PC netbook. I can read my mail on my iphone, but I get a message that "icould is not available" when I try to open it on the PC. It's very annoying as it's not so easy to type on iphone!

    Very strange. I have a PC netbook that I use when I travel, and here in Mauritania, when I try to log on icloud to check my mail, it tells me that it is not available or the server is down - the internet is working for everything else. I can read my mail on my iphone, connected to the same network. Is there some reason ou can't open icloud on an iphone and a pc at the same time?

    Been looking for similar posts, surprised I haven't found more, because I'm fairly certain that there is a current problem with some parts of Apple's server network: I have 3 iCloud accounts in Mail on my Macbook, and 1 of them (annoyingly, my main one) has not been able to connect for an hour or two. And both of the others wouldn't connect for a few minutes, but are now working again.
    More suprising is that trying to log in to webmail (www.icloud.com) is giving a very unhelpful error message, suggesting the server is down. Everything else Internet is working fine for me, and haven't changed any settings, so fairly sure problem is Apple's end.
    It's possible that your iPhone is collecting your mail via a different server route that is still working; my three iCloud accounts are collecting via p02.imap.mail.me.com, p09.imap.mail.me.com and p99.imap.mail.me.com, and it's only p02 that's consistantly not working.

  • I cannot log into icloud with Windows 7 64 bit system.

    It was working for about two months without a problem and then it ceased working about 2 months ago.  I just get an ongoing circle as if it is trying to log me in, but no luck.  I can log in on icloud website however.

    Curt, since I purchased a new laptop, I had to deactivate CS4 on my old laptop, uninstall, and install CS4 on my new laptop with my disks and activate. That all went fine, but I can not update the software. CS4 needs to be updated when installed from the original disk, as there are important bugs and resolved issues with the software that are available with the updates that are released after the original disk.
    By "not work", I mean that I am not able to update the software at all so that I may work in the latest version of the CS4 software without issues.
    JJMack, thank you for your suggestion, however, I am not able to manually install the updates either. All updates fail.
    Overfocused, thank you for your suggestion, I will be looking into that, as well as a bunch of other Windows 7 possibles. It may be what you suggested, or it may be a Windows 7 related utility issue or another program with a conflict with Adobe updates in Windows 7 etc.
    I remember a couple of years ago when I got the Vista OS laptop, I spent a couple of weeks to research a major bug that eventually was resolved, it was an Office/Adobe incompatibility issue with infopath running Vista.
    I hope that I am able to solve the issue soon, it has been a week so far with no resolve. If or when I find a fix to this issue, I will post it here.
    Thank you all for your help and suggestions, I really appreciate it.
    All the best,

  • My Icloud mail is not working altough I can log into icloud. I phoned support they said its because me me is moving over to Icloud and should give it 24 hours. I have moved over the day Icloud started. Please help

    I cannot access my mail on Icloud.com

    As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
    You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
    I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • Itunes says I have backed up my phone to icloud at a previous date. When I log into icloud with the same apple ID and password I use for Itunes it says no data. Now I do not have access to my older phone and I cannot update my newer phone?

  • TS3988 I've downloaded the latest Apple iTunes software for my PC. Every time I try to log into iCloud, I'm told that my Apple ID is fine but iCloud won't accept it. Why? I've changed my password. Done everything possible.

    Why won't iCloud accept my Apple (PC) ID/password?

    Hello CarenzaRielle,
    I know not being able to access your Apple ID can be frustrating. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of troubleshooting steps to resolve this:
    Apple ID: If you forget your password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5787
    Refer to the Apple ID Support page if you are unable to reset your password using the steps in this article. If you know your Apple ID password, you can also choose to change your Apple ID or change your password.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

  • I had an old macbook so icloud was set up only with my iphone and ipad. Now I have a new macbook pro but can't synchronise icloud with it. It ask me to create a new account.

    Hi,
    I had an old macbook, too old to put it on icloud. So when I created my icloud account, I did it with my iphone and my ipad. Now I bought a new macbook pro.I wanted to synchronise it to my icloud account but it tell me that this account is with someone and that I have to create a new one. Seems like it does not recognised my account.
    What should I do?

    Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
    Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
    After this, do an update from the App Store.
    Thats all there is to it.
    For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
    Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
    There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.

  • Why can't I log into iCloud on my iPad?

    When I go to the iCloud.com website on my iPad, I can't log into my iCloud account. The only options are to (a) set up iCloud, which has already been set up on all my devices, (b) Install Find My Phone, which is already installed on my iPad, or (c) Install Find My Friends, which is irrelevant. There is no login window.
    A previous thread suggested that installing and using the Find My iPhone app would fix the problem, but it doing so changes nothing on my iPad. What am I missing?

    You can use iCab Mobile to log into your iCloud.com account on the iPad. You must identify iCab as a desktop browser. I use iCab Mobile and I identify it as Fire Fox 4.0 for Mac. I can log into my account this way.
    I do NOT have iCloud email so I'm not positive that you can log into the email this way, but IF I recall correctly from reading a couple of other posts, it will work.
    If you want to take a chance, download iCab for $1.99 (I think). I can tell you this much - it is a superior browser to Safari on the iPad in just about anyway that you can imagine - even if you can't access your iCloud mail.
