Early iMac (not Lion eligible), does my mobile me email address cease to work after June, 2012?  Can one create an iCloud email address?

Cannot update to Lion on this early intel iMac.  Now I find out I cannot move mail, contacts to iCloud.  My question is, will my mobile me email address continue to work after June, 2012?  Can one create an iCloud email address to use with iPhone and iPad?

If you own a iOS5 idevice like a ipod touch you are eligible to use icloud. This will preserve your current Email and Adress Book data after MobileMe dies next year.
Else you would need to purchase a Lion capable Mac or set up a Vista/Win7 PC with office2007/10  to use icloud.

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

    That can indicate a too-full hard drive. Highlight your hard drive's icon and then do "Get Info..." from the Finder's "File" menu. That will look something like this:
    "Available" needs to be about 20MB or 15 percent of "Capacity," whichever is greater. If the drive is too full, this article will help you regain space:

  • I do not have any IOS device!!! So how can i create an icloud account

    How can I create a il=cloud account if i don"t have and IOS device. How does that actually work???

    You can only create an iCloud account on a device with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion.
    The whole point of iCloud is to sync your iOS devices with your computer...

  • When I create an iCloud email account, does this change my header?

    When I create an iCloud email account, does this mean that my header changes everytime I send an e-mail? I have always used AOL and that is my normal email address but I've sent several emails to people who don't seem to be getting them(or, perhaps, their spam filters are putting them in the "junk box" and when they look for my aol header, they are'nt seeing it) I've been wondering if that could be my problem?

    If you are using iCloud email it would be sent from your @icloud.com (@mac.com or @me.com) email address, not your AOL address, and the headers would reflect this.  If you want to send from your AOL account you would need to select that as your default account in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Mail section).

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

  • I have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page?? please help :-(

    i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
    I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
    please help :-(

    That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
    If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
    If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

  • I have an apple id and am trying to create an icloud however my phone is not allowing me. how can i create an icloud account?

    i have an apple id and am trying to create an icloud account however my phone is not allowing me and saying that the number of free attempts have been exceeded even though this is my first attempt. how can i create an icloud account?

    Are you sure the message isn't saying that the maximum number of accounts have already been created?  When you get this message you will not be able to create another account on that device.  Your only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account using a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

  • Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

    Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

    Are the usernames the same - e.g. is it [email protected] and [email protected] or is it [email protected] and [email protected]?
    If the former, they are the same thing, part of the same account, and deliver into the same inbox.
    If they are different then either
    a) One of them is an 'alias' on the same account and delivers into the same inbox, or
    b) You have two separate iCloud accounts.
    In the latter case you cannot move an address from one account to another; in the other cases they are already 'merged'.

  • 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.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't change it but you can create an alias to use.

  • HT4864 How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email they are not the same

    How can I change my iCloud email to my AppleID email?  They are not the same and somehow were switched by my teenage daughter.  I can access the account and change anything except my iCloud eMail account.

    Hi itsjeffb,
    If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like your daughter may have set up an alias account under iCloud. Your AppleID email address may or may not be the same as you iCloud email address, depending on how it was set up. The following articles provide more information about iCloud email addresses and how aliases work under iCloud:
