Correcting my iCloud email address

I have just been looking at my "Accounts" in Mail Preferences.
Noticed that my iCloud email address in the field marked "Description" was misspelled and corrected that.
However, in the field marked "Email address" I have not been able to figure out how to correct the spelling.
Would someone kindly help me with instructions as to how to do that - I would like to have people reach me through my iCloud account.
Also, the misspelled email address is showing up in the field marked "Alias".
Please also help me remove that.  (I do not need to use an alias-especially one which is not spelled correctly.)
Thanks, in advance, for your help.
Regards.
A

Hi,
You have not said that this account is not receiving new emails.
This suggests that the account ID is spelt correctly if it is accessing the correct mail server.
My own Apple ID is based on a Dial-Up account email I have.
I registered this for iCloud and can access the iTunes Store, App Store and the on line iCloud page with this name.
On Registering the Apple ID with iCloud I was given a @me.com ending ID which I use for iCloud Mail (the other is set to fetch mail from the Dial Up server)
If the account is not receiving Mail then delete the account in the Mail app.
Also make sure it is removed from System Preferences > Internet Accounts.
You can then Add the account in either place using the correct spelling.
This bit:-
Also, the misspelled email address is showing up in the field marked "Alias".
Please also help me remove that.  (I do not need to use an alias-especially one which is not spelled correctly.)
I have no idea where you are seeing this.

  • HT201342 My icloud email address is misspelled.  How can I correct this?

    My icloud email address is misspelled.  How can I correct this?

    You can't change an iCloud (@mac, @me or @icloud) email address without creating a new account.  You can, however, create an email alias with the correct spelling and use that.  It will be linked to your current iCloud account and receive email at the same inbox.  This guide explains how to create an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

    I am locked out of my email, can't send or receive....it says that I need to have an ICloud email address, is this something new? because I had been using the same as my apple ID...but now I can't.  the message says No server connection, but that can't be right, because I have enternet connection on my other devices, my lap top and desk top....so can you help me?

  • How do I get an iCloud email address for an iCloud account that is already set up?

    When I set up my wife's iCloud account, I used her regular email address.  Now, when I try to iMessage her from my iPhone (4s), I am successful when I am on a wifi but not via my cellular connection.  I can iMessage other users.  I believe this is due to her not having an iCloud email address on her iCloud account.  I suspect that when my message is sent via cellular, it tries to go to her actual email address which fails.  She is able to iMessage me regardless of my connection from her iPad (4th).
    Does anyone know how to add an iCloud address to an existing iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Thanks Jim.  I'm pretty sure it is set up correctly.  The only issue the ipad has is it dies not receive messages from my iphone when the iphone is not on wifi.  She can send/receive imessages to/from others and from my iphone when it is on wifi.

    hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

    My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address.  I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email.  My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

    Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.
    Settings>iCloud>Sign Out.

  • Can I change my iCloud email address? I do not see a way to edit it.

    Can I change my iCloud email address? I do not see a way to edit it.

    Jeffrey is correct: but you do have the option to add up to three 'email aliases' which are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address. Indeed it's a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the master address, in case of spam or other problems: you easily delete an alias without impinging on the behaviour of the rest of the account.
    There seem to be problems at the moment about creating aliases, so if you find you can't, give it a couple of days and try again.

    You should be aware that, once created, aliases can't be moved to another account, nor turned into full accounts, nor reactivated once deleted.

  • HT1688 I've created a sharing album on Photo Stream. I've entered my husbands icloud email address so that I can share it with him but he is not receiving the invitations. Can you please let me know if I am doing something wrong?

    I've created an album on Photo Stream and I've added my husbands icloud email address (subscribers) as well as mine (just to test it out) and invitations say that they have been sent but no emails are generated or received. I have checked my emails spam folder just in case but nothing has been received. Please help!

    This does not answer my question. I'm doing everything correctly but no email is generating that asks the "subscriber" to be invited to see my album.

  • Contacts no longer in sync between iPhone and Mac after creating iCloud email address

    A few days ago, I was asked (by iCloud) to create an iCloud email address because it would be "better" than the email address I've been using. Since then, most of my contacts have disappeared from my iPhone 4s. I have noticed that the newest contacts are still on my iPhone, while all my other contacts are on my Mac and on iCloud.com.
    How do I merge the two so that I don't lose any of the contacts and get them all in sync? 
    On my MacBook Pro, l have OS X v10.9.1, System Settings for iCloud checked for Contacts.
    On my iPhone 4S, I have iOS 7.0.4, System Settings for iCloud ON for Contacts.
    iCloud account on both devices is the same AppleID, which is my old AppleID, not the new @iCloud.com
    My Hotmail email account has also been screwed up since this change. It keeps downloading the same messages over and over again and when I try to delete them, it tells me it is unable to move the messages to the mailbox trash.

    Welcome to the Apple Community BratTheCat.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    iCloud doesn't change anything to do with non iCloud content, contact hotmail to resolve your hotmail problem.

    If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.

  • Why does my icloud email address appear invalid on every website?

  • ICloud email address creation - clarification

    Hi,
    I have just downloaded iCloud Control Panel 3.1 for Windows on my PC. It is asking me to create an iCloud email address that has a @icloud.com extension. It tells me that once I create this username, it can't be changed so I want to ensure I am understanding this correctly.
    Example Only (i have no idea if this Apple ID and password belongs to anyone as I just made it up for the purposes of this example):
    My Apple ID: [email protected]
    Password: 123456
    Should the iCloud email address I create be: [email protected]? And the password: 123456
    Please advise because like I said, I want to ensure I am doing this right.
    Thanks
    Newtothis

    Your @icloud.com email address can be anything you want it to be, as long as it isn't already taken.  (You will get an alert if you try to use an email address that is already taken.)  The password will be the same as your iCloud account, as the email account is linked to your iCloud account.
