Syncing with gmail and iCloud across 3 devices

I cannot get my devices to sync properly (MacBook, iPad mini, iPhone 5c). I use Gmail and iCloud, and it seems to muddy the waters. My contacts, for example, are a mess. As someone who is normally on top of the tech stuff, I feel confused and very frustrated. Is it time to get rid of Gmail? Do I need to wipe my data and start fresh? For some reason there just seem to be too many settings to get everything to work seamlessly. If anyone has faced similar issues please let me know if you have any solutions--whether it is a step by step process, or visit or the Genius Bar...
Thanks!

iCloud doesn't sync email; changing your iCloud settings won't effect your ability to sync email. Just set up the same Gmail account on all your devices. Unless you set it up as a POP account, it will stay in sync across your devices. (Only IMAP and Exchange accounts sync across your devices; POP email doesn't.)

I have changed my apple email address and icloud is asking me to sign in under my old email then saying my password is incorrect how can i change it pls

I have changed my apple id but when i try to log into icloud etc it lists my old id therefore my password is wrong as there is no such account now, how do i change this to show my new id and get into my account

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.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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 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.

Cannot receive email to verify iCloud set up

I would seriously like some help on this as I have totally messed up and have lost my iCloud account !
I did have iCloud set up but was have problems with mail (infact still am, but thats a different story) so I have recently changed my Apple ID settings and no longer able to use iCloud.
The problem is in order to verify the iCloud account I need to access my @mac.com email address which I am unable to do ! I can log into iCloud.com with the Apple ID but no mail is comming to the @mac.com address even though its is there in the preferences list on iCloud.com.
Trying to recieve anything in Mail is a total no go as that is where my original problem started but as I said that is a different story.
Thankyou!

Please ignore, as this issue has now been resolved, thanks.

Gmail and Icloud backup

I have a gmail account. How can I use my icloud account to backup that email to icloud?

Set your GMail account to forward all incoming emails to your iCloud account. (You should probably set it to retain the messages at GMail as well).
You may be able to set up a Rule separating them into a different folder, depending on whether they show as being addressed to GMail or to iCloud, you will have to experiment on that one.

@gmail and @icloud help?

Okay so I don't know if it's like this for everyone but for example on my iPhone 5s, Settings > iCloud > Account, I have my email address [email protected] and the Mail is [email protected] ... I'm wondering why my gmail domain is listed as the Apple ID and the @icloud is just as Mail. Is there anyway to change this so @icloud is the primary one??

That's normal. Your Gmail address is your iCloud ID and your @icloud.com address is your iCloud email account. It cannot be used as your iCloud ID. In addition to being your iCloud email address, your @icloud.com address is also an alias for your iCloud ID. You can use it interchangeably with your Gmail ID to sign into icloud.com.

Is it possible that my iCloud account (email's and icloud's) has different password?

If I have account create for email address [email protected] and there is automatically created [email protected], is it possible that they have different passwords?

The login and password for your iCloud mail is the same as for your iCloud account; when you sign into the iCloud account in Setting>iCloud and enable Mail there, the Mail app should automatically be set up for your iCloud mail.
Of course though [email protected] may be the login for iCloud, accessing actual mail set to that address requires the login and password for that account, not iCloud.

I have taken off/turned off iCloud on my mac mini but when I write an email and use contacts it will convert a non iCloud email to and iCloud email automatically. I really don't want this. Any way to stop this automatic conversion?

I have taken off/turned off iCloud on my mac mini (OS 10.8) but when I send an email and use contacts , it will convert the non - iCloud email to an iCloud email automatically. Anyway to stop this automatic conversation?

Robert...
the iCloud webserver wont accept my password for a .mac login, nor will it allow me to change it
See if you can change your password > Apple - My Apple ID
If that doesn't help, launch iTunes on your computer.
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart your computer.
If that that doesn't help...
Moreover, when I try to go into my .mac account on the web,
Delete all apple cookies and empty your browser cache.
See if you can access your account at iCloud.com

Itunes email address and iCloud issues

Good afternoon all,
When I initially created an Apple account back in 2004 I signed up for a then .mac email address and now use that same .mac address with all of my iCloud services. Not thinking I created an AppleID to use with iTunes using a personal email address (something similar to [email protected] for example).
The dilemma that I have is that I have to use the [email protected] email address to sign into my iTunes account to purchase anything from the iTunes store and to view all of my past purchases from 2004 to present; yet all of my iCloud services (keychain, photos, etc...) are setup using my .mac email address.
When I log into my [email protected] AppleID (the account that has all of my iTunes purchases) I try to change the email address to my .mac address and it will not allow me bc it says it is an apple owned domain.
Is there any way possible for me to merge these two accounts so that I can have one singular email sign in for all of my iTunes and iCloud services?
Thanks
-Kris

Can I keep my MobileMe email address once I move to iCloud?
Only if you have an active MobileMe account when you sign up for iCloud, you can keep your me.com or mac.comemail address and any email aliases you have created and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, and calendars, as well as your bookmarks, to the new service. When you're ready to make the move, go to www.me.com/move.

Problems with verifying email address and SMTP set...

I have recently moved over to BT Infinity Broadband and regularly work from home. Recently I have been unable to send work emails (provided by 123 Reg) and having searched the forums I found a solution by using ny btinternet login details and verifying my email address.
However I have been able to verify two of my work email addresses but not the main and most important one. Each time I try I get an "invalid email address" error message. This is not causing too many problems with Outlook 2010 as I can still send and receive emails at present, hopefully this will remain.
However I do also use a case management software which sends emails. It requires a SMTP server details and port number. I have replicated these with the ones from Outlook, mail.btinternet.com and port number 465 but I am unable to send any emails.
I would be grateful if anybody could help me to verify my email address and also suggest what settings I would need for my case management software.
Many Thanks,
Will

I am a BT Premium Mail customer for my BT Talk21 e-mail account.
All was working fine on my PC and on my Mobile when I left the UK on 18t Sept.
In Greece, I was accessing e-mails, and responding to them, via the COSMOTE mobile network.
The problem started around 1st October, when I found that I could not reply to e-mails via my phone ("Sending Failed") - it would sometimes work if I switched my phone off an back on again, but I just couldn't send e-mails from my Android phone.
On my return to the UK, on 3rd Oct, I found that I couldn't send e-mails via my Outlook 2010 client on my Windows 7 Computer, directly connected to my router- getting error message 522 (account set up as POP3)
Test message returns:
"Send test e-mail message: Your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server has reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP). The server responded: 522 Your message has not been sent as you are accessin"
So, 2 separate devices, connected differently, where experiencing the same problem - the commonality BT E-mail severs.
I spent 2 days of absolute hell with BT's Indian call centres who were worse than useless - refusing to accept that this was a BT sever-related issue.
VOL 012-*********** – 4th Oct
VOL 012-*********** – 4th Oct
On my Mobile, as a test, I deleted my (POP3) mobile account on my phone, the idea to re-instate it.
On trying to set it up again, the BT mails servers wouldn't allow me to set it up as POP3 (even though up until the point of the problem it was POP3).
However, it eventually allowed me to set it up as SMTP/IMAP - and I can now send and recieve e-mails on my Talk21 account on my mobile. Although, being IMAP/SMTP it now deletes mails off the server if I delete them on my phone - which I found out the hard way.
My Outlook client on my computer still cannot send e-mails - returning the error code 522.
I have also accessed my account via webmail (which seems to work both ways) and have changed and verified my passwords, but the problem still exists.
In addition, my daughter also has a Talk21 Premium Mail account, and accessing via a different computer Microsoft Mail on a Vista machine, and she is experiencing the same problem.
I find out today that BT is withdrawing from Yahoo and is changing/has changed it's e-mail systems.
The problems I and my daughter are experiencing appear to be general BT Mail Server problems that need to addressed centrally, and not a single-user level as the likelihood is that many are affected.
I would like BT to look into this as a matter of urgency.

MobileMe Email address and iCloud

Hi,
I had an MobileMe email address. That account expired. I'm trying to get the same email address with iCloud but it tells me the @me.com address is already taken. Yeah, it's taken by me! How can I reclaim this email. I use the same handle for everything.
Thank you!

Mail keeps asking for password and icloud setting do not load in system preferences

All network users get the same behaivor, local users do not get this behaivor.
Thanks
Hector

Hector;
I have the same problem. The solution is to log into your client, open Keychain, run Keychain First Aid under file menu. If it fails to find your keychain, note the path, mount the disk that it is looking for, and rerun.
In short, you need to have the disk that your keychain is sitting on mounted. While your user account is mounted, Maveriks cannot match the reference path. Looking like a bug.
Example:
my folder sits on a second disk on server. It is properly setup in the mavericks server.
On the server, it is locally referred to as: /Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user. I can log in to mail on the server when I log in with my user name.
In the workgroup manager, the same location is referred to as:
afp://my_server.local/Users/my_user (or smb)
/Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user
So this is the network path. So the client should be looking for that. But instead, it looks for the local disk, which is not mounted as such. In other words, it looks for:
/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
instead of
/Network/Servers/my_server.local/Volumes/my_disk/Users/my_user/Library/Keychains
To eliminate this problem, you mount the volume on the client, so it can find. I will keep the editorial to myself, but this is not quality software.
