Change Apple ID login to iCloud e-mail

I recently abandoned Gmail because my username/password were among the leaked list.
Unfortunately I created my Apple ID with my Gmail address, but I want to change it to my iCloud e-mail address. The website tells me I can't use a domain that is owned by Apple, but I don't want to stay with Gmail, nor do I wish to use any other e-mail service providers.
Is there no way that I can use my iCloud e-mail address for my Apple ID? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.

No.  You'll have to choose a different non-Apple email provider if you don't want to use Gmail.

  • Need help with Apple ID login for iCloud/MobileMe to move Calendar.

    Despite the multiple warnings from Apple that MobileMe would be shutting down on June 30 & that I needed to migrate my "stuff," I didn't realize that my iCal calendar on my Mac & iOS devices (iPhone, iPad) was through my MobileMe account (@me.com login) and not my "main" Apple ID account (which is a Gmail login), so I didn't bother doing anything to migrate my "stuff" because I hardly ever used my MobileMe account, or so I thought. That said, my life revolves around my iCal calendar-- can't live without it! Two days ago I started getting a pop-up message on my Mac that says "iCal can’t log in to your “[email protected]” account because your password may be incorrect." It was while I went through Preferences to fix this that I realized my MobileMe account was the master one for iCal! I know that my password was correct, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that MobileMe is now shut down that caused the pop-up in the first place. Meanwhile, my calendars are not syncing between my devices, which is something I'd like to resolve ASAP!
    I'd like to push everything over to iCloud, but I noticed that for some (dumb) reason, I used my MobileMe account login for iCloud as well! Is there any way to merge or replace my MobileMe account with my Gmail Apple ID account so that my iCloud is no longer tied to MobileMe, since that program is now defunct? If not, at the very least, any help you could provide on how to transfer my calendar to the Cloud would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    Nevermind. Figured out the answer myself! Just had to dig a little deeper into the Apple Support Community than I had before I posted!

  • HT201320 Changed apple ID and my icloud account. Ever since this change, I am unable to access my email?

    I changed my apple ID and my icould account. Ever since this change, i am unable to access my email. everytime i open my Yahoo Inbox, I get this msg saying "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed". but 'm on wifi and can access all sorts of pages and games. My Cellular data for my email is "on"
    The email opens but it does not upload new emails.

    If you use iCloud as well, you can try adding it back to your accounts as well.  I have 7 email accounts (including iCloud and a Yahoo account) in mail on my iPhone and iPad and have no problems with them.  I suspect it was not removing iCloud that fixed your problem, it was the re-entering the Yahoo account login credentials (maybe they just got corrupted - could be as simple as that).
    If you do add iCloud back, and it causes problems right away with your Yahoo, then you should send a ticket in to the iCloud support folks as that would seem to be something not working correctly?

    Also if you actually deleted the iCloud account, remember you can keep the account, and just disable it for mail in the iCloud settings (so you can keep using iCloud for other features even if you do not want to use iCloud mail).

  • HT204053 Changing Apple ID email to iCloud address

    Hello everyone,
    I am in the process of trying to make the switch to iCloud for all my email, calendar, contacts and other needs from Google. I was using a Google account linked to my own domain but since Google has now disabled Exchange email for new devices I decided to make the switch to iCloud for all my services.
    I have several issues now with this process and am unable to find solutions in Apple's support pages.
    1. I created an @icloud.com email address to allow use of some iCloud services with my previous Google email Apple ID ([email protected]), I had no intention of using this for email so it's an address I don't want. I've created a new email alias in my iCloud account with an email address I would like to use but I want to remove all trace of the original unwanted email address. Is this possible? This original email is also listed as my 'Alternate Apple ID' which I don't want. Basically, I have an iCloud email address with '[email protected]' and want it to be the only email address associated with the account.
    2. I want to change my Apple ID email address to my new '[email protected]' email alias but I am told it can't be an email address associated with an Apple-owned domain. Is there any way around this? It seems strange that in order to use Apple services I must have an email account with someone else.
    Thanks for any help or ideas,
    John

    Slight update:
    1. Basically I would like my new '[email protected]' alias email to be the primary email address for my 'Alternative Apple ID' and the only email address associated with this alternative ID. It's not so critical to change my Main Apple ID as long as I can edit the address of the alternative one associated with iCloud.

  • I cannot sign onto my iclould account.  ID is not correct.  Changed apple ID and password, icloud is still showing old ID when attempting to enter on iphone.

    I cannot purchase items in the APP store as well.  Indicated password is incorrect.  Changed in itunes and and can access information there with ID and passwork, cannot purchase or get app's to recognize current password on any device. 
    Icloud will not recognize password as well, cannot get to icloud on phone to do anything.

  • Change apple id on my icloud

    Hi
    After my last update i have not  been able to update using my icloud account.
    On my phone settings (iphone 4) it is configured with an email that i no longer use ( another internet provider)
    So, when i try to reset i cannot reach the mailaccount in which apple sends the email.
    How can i change this emailaccount with an email which i actually use?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Changing apple id for the icloud

    My family of four currently shares one Appleid which is becoming a problem as we dont want to share contacts etc across our iphones. How do I switch the common apple id (that each of our phones is now using) so that each phone now has its own unique id? As I am a bit thick I may need step-by-step instructions. Thanks!!!

    Everyone needs their own Apple ID(verifiable email address) for iCloud. Everyone can still use the same ID for iTunes content, but for the rest, they need separate iD's. You can create an Apple ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
    So, create separate Apple ID's for everyone other that who ever owns the existing Apple ID. Then delete the iCloud accounts on each phone & setup with the new ID's.

  • Changed Apple ID not opening ICloud

    I have lost the original setup password for my ICloud account and reset my apple ID and password. When I try to open ICloud it verifies the apple ID but says it is not my ICloud account. When I go to support it asks for my apple serial number, but I'm on PC, how do I rectify this please. Thanks Bradley

    I Still have a problem. When i go to settings and to icloud there is no delete account. When i click on icloud i get first of all my name with the wrong email address (yahoo) under it. In the list below are all the usual photos, contacts, etc. the last one is find my ipad and then the advanced share my location and at the bottom is sign out. There is no delete account. What am i doing wrong? Help!

  • Changing Apple ID, not in iCloud

    When I go to Store to download my music, it says, This device is Already associated with an Apple ID.  You can auto-download purchases on this device with just one Apple ID every 90 days.  You cannot associate this device with a different Appls ID for 90 days.  Any workarounds?

    No. Copyright reasons, I suppose.

  • Need help with what to do if I want to change my apple id but my id is my icloud e-mail address

    Hello,
    I have spent days and hours trying to find a definite answer on what I can do with my situation.  I have been able to figure out that I cannot change my apple id because my apple id is my icloud e-mail address.  But does that leave me no option?  Does that mean that I will have to create a new apple id and subsequently I will also get a new icloud e-mail address?  If so, then how will I retain all of my purchases?  Is it possible to delete my icloud account and then change my apple id?
    I would really appreciate anyone that can give me a clear answer on this.  Thanks!!

    Sorry I missed this post earlier.  For some reason I didn't get an email alert that you had posted.
    If you want to want to change your Apple ID and your iCloud email address, you'll need to create a new Apple ID using the name you want, then create a new iCloud account with it and migrate your data to the new account.  After creating your new Apple ID, save any photo stream photos on your iOS device that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.  You will then have to recreate your notes in the new account from the emails you sent earlier.  When you turn on Mail in Settings>iCloud you will choose your new @icloud.com email address.
    Once this is done on the first device, if you have other devices, you can just save any photo strema photos, delete the existing account, then choose Delete from My iDevice (since the data is already in the new account) and sign back in with the new ID to download the data.
    You'll then have to decide if you want to keep using the old ID for iTunes or not.  Personally, I wouldn't recommend changing it to a new ID for several reasons.  First, all of your current purchased media is tied to the current ID and cannot be moved to your new ID.  This means that you will end up with different things purchased with different IDs over time, which can make things complicated.  Secondly, if you have already enabled automatic downloads, or have downloaded previous purchased using your old ID, you cannot change it to your new ID for 90 days from the time you first did this.  Once this waiting period expires you can then change to the new ID and access previous purchases with your new ID, but you would not be able to access previous purchased from the old ID again for another 90 days.  (This is what I mean by it being complicated to have multiple Apple IDs for iTunes purchases.)

  • Change full name in iCloud mac mail

    How do I change a Full Name in iCloud mac mail?

    If you created a new iCloud account it would have a new associated iCloud email account.  You wouldn't be able to move your current @icloud.com address to the new account.
    Just to double-check, after quitting (Command-Q) and re-opening Mail, did you start an new message and click the down-arrow next to From to see if the new sender name was available from the drop-down list (see image below)?  If so, you might try signing out of iCloud entirely.  To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in and test Mail again.  (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • How do I change my @icloud e-mail address associated with my apple ID

    My apple ID is not an @icloud address (it is @yahoo.com).  Curretnly I have an @icloud e-mail address associated with this account.  If I log onto icloud.com with my @yahoo Aplle ID,  it will show the emails that I have received from my current @icloud e-mail address. 
    How do I:
    1) create a new @icloud e-mial address and
    2) replace the old @icloud with the new @icloud
    3) forward e-mails from the old address to the new one and then, evetually delete the old one. 

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) Once you have created an alias you need take no further action to receive emails to it; messages to either the primary address or the alias will turn up in the inbox, and you can choose which you use as the 'From' address when you reply.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.
