Create .me address for iCloud? I already have one. Please help.

In Mountain Lion, I log into iCloud preferences using my Apple ID. (which is my gmail address.)
The preference boxes to sync notes and mail are unchecked. When I check them I'm asked to CREATE a .me address.
I already have a .me address that I use every day (I did move it to iCloud successfully). But it won't accept my longtime .me address when I enter it there. It tells me my address is already taken and asks me to create a new .me address for syncing mail and notes.
How do I just use my EXISTING .me address and get past it asking me to create one that can then never be changed?

Pomme,
I think he meant I'd need to create a new .me email address, or use my existing .me address. I ended up using my existing .me address because I moved it from Obie me to iCloud when you were allowed to do that. I used this for iCloud syncing instead of the applie I'd that I'm locked into, which is my gmail address.
So I think what he
Suggesting is that you create a new .me address. I believe you can do that in iCloud email now.

    invites not sent says create address card but I already have one

    Susan,
    Quit Calendar, click on your card in Contacts, and select Contacts>Card>"Make This My Card."
    If that is not successful, delete, and recreate your card. Then once again make sure to designate it "Make This My Card."

  • Aperture won't let me log in when ordering prints. It only allows me to Create a New Account (which I already have one).

    When I log in during the "order prints" sequence, it then pops up "Create a New Account" set of fields.  I tried filling those out with my existing account info, then it gets into a continuous loop with the server, probably confused because I already have that account.  I shut down Aperture and tried to order via iPhoto - no problem.

    The difference between iPhoto and Aperture is, that iPhoto has its own setting for the country of the Print Products Store in the Perferences > Advanced Panel, but Aperture does not have this option. Aperture will connect to the Print Products Store according to the Language&Regions se settings in your System Preferences.
    Edit your Billing and Delivery address on the page of the Apple Store:
    Go to Apple's main page and click "Store", then "View account".
    On the "Accounts" page edit your default addresses. Do not only view them, enter the information again, to make sure, that there are no invisible characters causing problems. Then click the shopping cart to the rift and enable Express Checkout.

  • Attempting to create an app for my coursework... Please HELP!

    Hello,
    My name is Agnes and I'm currently studying A Level Computing. For our coursework we have to create a Visual Basic program but I wanted to do something different and since I always wanted to make an app I thought this would be a great idea to do for my coursework... Wrong!
    I did not realise how hard it is and I'm really lost.. I'm attempting to make an calendar/to-do list app specifically for my college where students can enter their timetable, homework, coursework dates as well as upcoming exams...
    IF ANY ONE CAN HELP ME I'D REALLYYY APPRECIATE IT.
    My teacher doesn't think I can manage but I really want to prove him wrong.. please help me
    Massive thanks in advance!!!

    Unless you are exceptionally brillilant, it will take too long to be able to develop any kind of useful app.
    However, if you are deadset on trying, this online course on iTunes is a good starting point:

  • I just signed up for CC and already have LR 4 - help w LR5 Download?

    "Lightroom is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."
    This is the error msg I get when trying to download LR5 on my computer.I need some help - it doesn't make sense - I am on my computer.  I press the download button - and get this message.  What does it want me to do?

    More info - I attempted the download using IE, Chrome, and after a chat with the Adobe people with Foxfire.  The same error message in all cases  that does not let me  proceed with the download.  I also get the message when attempting to download PS and several other (at least) apps.
    I have a windows 7 system that has no known issues - I have downloaded other apps from other developers.
    I cannot now get back into the chat session because Adobe tells me the chat people are busy.  Not a productive day with this - any ideas?
    This is the error msg "Lightroom is a desktop app so you'll want to download it from your computer."

  • I have the first iPad and my mum has given me the iPad 2 I would like to put my stuff of iCloud on to this one please help

    I have the iPad 1which is backed up to iCloud my mum has given me her ipad2 how do I get my things of iCloud on this it does not give me an option as this one is per owned and does it store my kindle as well please help

    To restore your iCloud backup go to Settings>Geneneral>Reset, tap Erase All Conent and settings, then go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts (sign into the iCloud account containing your backup, agree to the terms and conditions, then choose your backup to restore to).  Be sure it's connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.
    Note: the iPad 2 will have to be running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up in order to restore the backup.  If it isn't, you'll need to update it in iTunes first.

  • I can't set up a new itunes account - says I already have one

    When I try to establish a new account with my email address, it says I already have one.  When I say I forgot my password and request an email, the email is not received.  When I answer the security question (my birthday), it says it fails.
    How can I reset the account/email address so I can use my email address to establish a new account?
    Thanks.

    If you mean iTunes libraries or computer user accounts, just create one. To make a new iTunes library on Windows, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose Create Library.
    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, click here and request assistance.

  • Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one?

    Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one?  I would like to have two different email addresses for personal use, on Icloud.

    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.)
    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.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • Why do I get a prompt to create an iCloud account when I already have one?

    When I try to turn on notes so my iPhone and iPad will sync, I am prompted to create an account when I already have one. Why? How can I do this?

    Have you created an iCloud account?  This is not the account or ID you use for iTunes.  And where exactly are you turning on notes?  In what area within settings of your devices?

    When I try to check "Mail" in iCloud prefs on my Mac, it says I need an iCloud email address. I already have one (and I get mail at it). How do I fix this?

    Have you reset the password recently for the email account?
    A real simple fix usually is to delete the mail account (settings < mail contacts calendars, tap the affected account and choose delete at the bottom) Then re add the account.

  • Do I have to have a .me address for iCloud to work?

    Do I have to have a .me email address for iCloud to work?
    I want to keep my old email address.
    Does the email get forwarded to the new address if the contact I have don't have my .me address?

    iCloud email does not consolidate any of your existing email. It is just another IMAP mail server.  When you create an iCloud account you get a me.com address (or use an existing one if you are currently using MobileMe). If you want your email forwarded from an existing email account you will have to set that up with your current email provider.

  • I've recently started to use Numbers but when I try to sync to iCloud it asks me to create a new iCloud account. Problem is I already have one and that's the one I want to use. Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone. Any guidance? Thanks.

    Looks like I have the same situation on my iphone.
    The only option I'm being given is to create an lCloud account.
    Any guidance? Thanks.

    The last thing you want is a second iCloud account. Try logging out and back in in System Preferences. If that doesn't work, I'd get AppleCare on the line.

    Hi Joycars,
    Can you not simply sign out of the iCloud account with the incorrect email? Not sure I'm following?

  • My email addresses for iCloud have vanished

    My email addresses for iCloud have vanished but I have not changed any settings. The only address option is my Apple ID one and it defaults to a none iCloud smtp address and the iCloud smtp is shown as offline?

    Did you ever go through the migration process to switch your old MobileMe account to an iCloud account?  If not, then I'm afraid it's too late to do that.

  • How can You create a rescue email if you already have an Apple ID/account?

    I didn't think about it, thought I didn't need it, but now I know. I forgot my security answers, and I keep getting locked. I need a way to create a rescue account if I already have an Apple ID/account. I won't click on any links unless it directs me to the exact location on creating a rescue email while you already have an Apple ID/account. I went through enough threads, links and everything, I've tried every single way to answer, but still keep getting locked out. Please help me, I need it.

    There is no way to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. You need to ask Apple to reset them; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
