E-mail address for server

After trusting the promise of Apple that installing and running a Mavericks Server is easy as pie, I bought and installed the server, i.e. just managed to install a folder named "Locker" in adherence to the instructions. Everything else seems "foolproof" - meaning that only fools should believe such promises.
My next step planned is to install the calendar service because currently it makes me mad to run calenders on each computer in my network. Trying so, I manage to perform only a single step: The software requires a mail address for the server, recommends this : com.apple.calendarserver@mactheknife as the address and rejects it immediately. Stop! (Note: I have installed and run Mac networks since the days of Appletalk in 1987.)
I appreciate the great help by the server. But I need to know what I need to do. As easy as pie - may be, but no idea why I should do what. Plase help …

Your question is probably better off in the OS X Server section. And I don't know much about this, but shouldn't that address look like something as [email protected]?

  • Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

    Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
    Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
    So my options are:
    Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
    Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
    Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
    Anyone else ran into this before?
    I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
    Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should not need to verify the old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How to own the same e-mail-address for different Apple-IDs

    Hello
    I’m under the impression, that I can’t use the same e-mail-address for iCloud I used already in my Apple-ID for iTunes, because I get no verification mail for the iCloud account. Is this correct or did I something wrong?
    Thanks for supporting me
    I already raised this question in the iCloud forum, but till now nobody answered - may be the wrong sub-forum

    Many thanks for the answer - that's what I suspected. Anyway...
    The problem I have now is, that my Apple-ID I used already for some years in order to buy apps is in the "old" format (e.g. duggy832), that means not in the form of an eMail-address. iCloud accept only Apple-IDs in the “new” format meaning in the form like an eMail-address (e.g. [email protected]).
    So it needs to modify the old Apple-ID from duggy832 to [email protected] or to “transfer” – if possible – my shopping from Apple-ID duggy832 to [email protected]
    Which way is possible, which is safe/secure, which is recommended?
    Thanks in advance

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

    Yes. Delete the Apps that were not Purchased using Your Apple ID.
    But a Restore as New is the way to go.

  • Will setting up an iCloud e-mail address for Notes change my Apple ID

    I am looking to synch Notes on my Mac, iPad and iPhone and apparently need to create a separate e-mail address for iCloud just for Notes. I currently use my Apple ID to log into my iCloud account and since this is an AOL e-mail address cannot be used for Notes. I am concerned that this additional e-mail address will somehow become the default for more than just Notes and cause me problems. Can someone provide some insight?

    In order to sync notes with iCloud you have to create an iCloud email account because it uses the email IMAP service to sync notes.  You don't have to actually use the email account for email but it does have to be created in order to sync notes.  You can just create the @icloud.com address and forget about it.  After it's created, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Mail section) and make sure your AOL account is still selected as your default.  (If it isn't, tap it to select it).  It won't cause any other problems.

  • My iPad Air will not recognize my newest Apple ID e-mail address for cloud access. It continually reverts back to an old e-mail address that I no longer have access to and don't remember the PW for. How can I fix this?

  • In Mavericks Mail, I can't select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail. I don't want to hand select hundreds of e-mail addresses.

    In Mavericks' new e-mail program, I cannot select multiple e-mail addresses for an individual e-mail without having to re-open the address book for every e-mail address I am opening. Please help.

    The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
    1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
    2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

  • Can I get Apple Store's e-mail address for customers?

    Can I get Apple Store's e-mail address for customers? My ipad mini with Retina has been delivered to wrong address.

    I do not believe that Apple stores have email addresses - if you are referring to the online store, you can contact them via this link:

    (this is for the US store as you do not have any info listed)

    Hi Mohammed,
    You can change the Rescue email address by logging onto your Apple ID at:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    Of course, if you do not know your password, and it is asking you to answer your security questions right now, then you can't do that....

  • Someone is using my e-mail address for Apple ID

    Hello
    I have an e-mail address that I do not use to any Apple devices.
    For about 1 week ago I received a mail in Italian saying this:
    Dear G******* M******,
    You entered gio**** @gmail.com as primary email address for your Apple ID. To complete the task, we have to verify that email address actually belongs to you. Click on the link below and sign into your account using your Apple ID and password.
    Check now>
    Why did you received this email?
    This email is sent when someone adds or changes a contact email address in your Apple. If you have not made any changes do not worry. Your email address can not be used as a contact address for an Apple ID without your verification.
    For more information, see the frequently asked questions .
    Thank you,
    Apple Customer Care
    so the problem is that I'm in Greece and someone has put my e-mail address for their Apple ID in Italy...
    What can I do?
    The problem is that I ignored the e-mail thinkink that if I don't click the verification button noting will happen but instead today I received more than 10 e-mails saying the same thing...
    What can I do to prevent these e-mails? and to make the person who is using my e-mail to change it?
    Thank you in advance
    <Link Edited By Host> 

    I think you misunderstood me. I don't want an account. I only created one to write here. What I need is for itunes to contact this user and ask him to change his account. I can't believe how it's possible for someone to use my email as his.
    I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I have this mail adress for 12 years and never had something like this before.
