Cannot use my Apple ID as mail addess

I had [email protected] and [email protected] for many years. I never used this Apple ID for anything but email.
I'm using a different Apple ID now for iTunes, AppStore, ... but I don't want to loose that email address so I used the iCloud control panel on my Mac to logon to iCloud with "[email protected]" to transfer that account from me.com to iCloud.
That worked, because I can use iCloud.com with this Apple ID now. But when I try to access mail on the iCloud website, it tells me to activate mail on a Mac. OK, back to the iCloud control panel and activate mail. The assistant asks me to choose a new mail address. Well, [email protected] of course, that's the Apple ID I'm logged on with!
And guess what: The assistant tell me that this mail address is already in use! Sure it is! By me! I'm logged on with it!
How can I use the address I'm currently logged on with (my Apple ID) as my mail address?
Thanks!
Florian

Hi Apple ...(you are not),
Welcome to the Support Communities!
There are a couple of places where the Apple ID is used, so the first thing I would suggest is to go to the appleid.apple.com website and make sure everything is up to date there. Then, sign out of your iTunes Store Account and sign back in with the correct Apple ID and password. Finally, look at the settings for your Computer Administrator account and make sure that is correct as well. I'm including a few articles for you that explain this information in more detail.

I get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live were we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need.

I get the following error message when I connect a usb ethernet adapter to my new MacBook Pro: Unsupported - You cannot use an Apple USB Modem with this computer. I live where we only have dial-up and the Apple Store said this is what I need. In addition, when I connect the phone to the connecter it falls out, it will not click in.

Why are you using a usb ethernet adaptor? Just plug the modem into the usb port.

HT5622 why I cannot use an apple domain to set up an apple ID?

why I cannot use an apple domain to set up an apple ID?

You cannot use an existing @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address to become an Apple ID because they either already are one or are associated with an existing one, and in the latter case these cannot be moved to another ID.
The option is be there to create an @icloud.com address as use it as an ID when you create an iCloud account - please see imp68's post here:

It is unwise of you to post your email address publicly, I will ask for it to be removed.

Hi.I cannot use my Apple ID because there is no "none" when it comes to billing

I cannot use my Apple ID because there is no "none" when it comes to billing information

Hello Ayush1506,
It sounds like you do not want to add a credit card to your Apple ID. If you are not seeing the "None" option when updating your billing information, I recommend the following article:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

I cannot use my Apple email primary Apple email account.

I cannot use my Apple email as my username or primary Apple email account. That is a fact. It has been verified by first and 2nd level support. I had to go get a Google email account to use for my primary Apple email account. That is unequivocally the most thoughtless, senseless and downright stupidest thing I have heard.

While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
• Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
• Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
• Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
• Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
• The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
• Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
That's all you have to do.

HT6114 After OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Update I cannot use my Apple TV anymore.

After OS X Mavericks v10.9.2 Update I cannot use my Apple TV anymore. There is a black screen. I cannot switch to the mirror option. I can use the apple tv from my iPad - so APTV is working. I have restart the computer and the apple TV.

These commands from the Terminal worked for me -
1. Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities.
2. Run these commands respectively:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/APExtFramebuffer.kext
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/AirParrotDriver.kext
I found it on Intenret. I had AirParrot Intalled before.

Cannot use instant messenger in Yahoo Mail anymore and don't know why

when I go into my Yahoo Mail, I cannot use instant messenger. If I click on someone on line nothing happens at all. I have been told to delete and reload this program (IM) but have tried repeatedly and cannot find it anywhere. Also tried contacting someone on facebook and got no response so I assume it's not working on the chat feature either

I cannot use my Apple ID to purchase, how can I do?

I bought 2 new iPad2 these days. However, I cannot use my old Apple ID (I used it in my iPad1 and iPod Touch 3) to purchase any apps in the new iPad2. And I cannot purchase in iTunes (via my laptop) neither. Actually, I find I can only use my Apple ID to sign in and then can do nothing. What happened? Is my Apple ID locked? Why Apple locked my ID? How can I contact them directly? I am in Singapore, I called Apple 800 hotline, however, they told me that they can do nothing about iTunes Store problem and I have to contact iTune support. I changed the password, however, the problem is still the same. Anyone knows how to solve it? Thank you!

I'm getting the same thing. I can't even sign in to see my iTunes account details in iTunes now - keeps requesting my password. Interestingly, if I type a password which I know is wrong it pops up and says I've entered the wrong password. If I enter the right one, it just pops up again requesting the password - no error.
Tried on 2 computers and on my iPhone - on WIFI and 3g. No joy.
Also tried resetting my password but the same thing happens, except this time it tells me I have to verify my credit card because I changed the password and then... it asks me for the password again... and again... and again... No error, just a loop!

Cannot use my Apple ID to log into Support Communities

I can't log into support communities using my Apple ID.
I have to log in using an older e-mail address I used when Apple first started cloud-like services MANY YEARS ago.
The e-mail address I have to use is obsolete and I'd just like to abandon its use for support communities.
When I try to log into support communities with my Apple ID the site starts acting like a Microsoft site and keeps redirecting me in loops to the same nonfunctional page.
Weird, I know, that's why I'm writing this.
Why can't I log into support communities with my Apple ID?
