Email name restrictions for icloud

What are the name restrictions for creating a new name for an iCloud email account. Can one use some of the keyboard symbols like * # & % ! - $ __ ( ) or are you restricted to using the alphabet and numbers?

Hello Tuffy Wuffy,
This can be done by removing the iCloud account, then readding it.
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.

How do I change an e-mail name reserved for iCloud?

Not sure what you mean, do you have an iCloud account that you wish to change the email address of?
Please explain more fully.

I have a new email address and updated it with my apple id/icloud and updated on my iPhone, but i'm getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

You can eirther I think go on ITunes or if you can get to settings you would just go to iCloud.

I have a new email and password for Icloud and cant sign in Ivloud accounts. It say connection error on my laptop. Had it before on my laptop.

aI have a new email and password for my Icloud account and have a HP Pavillon laptop. Cnt sign into Icloud/ It says connection error! I had Icloud on my HP Pavillon before.

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Changing email/apple id for icloud

Now I can not access Icloud because it is using my old email address. I can see no way of updating it to the new email address.
How do I update the emial/apple id in icloud so I can stop getting messages to sign in.

thats because the icloud settings still believe it is signed into the old email as the apple id. icloud is the only setting that has this issue. u will need to change ur primary back to the old email to sign out of the icloud settings, change ur primary back to the email u want to use, verify the new email, and sign into icloud settings using the correct username and pass.
tip: u dont need to verify ur email when u change it to the old one to sign out of the icloud settings. u only need to verify ur email address with ur apple id before u sign back in.

Changing account email address details for iCloud

I changed my email address a while ago and was able to make the change for my iTunes account, however I have not been able to access my iCloud account to make the change (it doesn't seem to have automatically changed that too). It keeps prompting me to enter the password but it will not allow me to change the email address, so the password does not work. Any ideas anyone?

I found this page, scrolled down to iCloud, followed the instructions and it worked for me:

Hope this works for you!

Email never came for icloud

I tried to set up my icloud account and it says to verify my email but the email has never came. Now what?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Put in a request for another verification e-mail to be sent to you.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether.

HT204053 I have changed my apple ID, but the account info on iCloud is still showing my old ID. How do I change the account name/ID for iCloud?

I have changed my Apple ID but the account info on iCloud is still referencing the old ID. How do I change the iCloud account details?

If you simply renamed your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from your phone (but not from iCloud) as well as any synced data. But provided you are signing back into the same account (just with a new name) it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. Then set up your iCloud account with the new ID name and turn syncing back on. If you have photos in your photo stream album that are older than 30 days that you don't have anywhere else, you will need to save these to your camera roll before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If, however, you are changing to a new ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (Be sure to save any photo stream photos to your camera roll prior to deleting the account, as mentioned above.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.

Update email/log in for icloud

I updated my email and apple Id and password through my laptop. However, on my iphone 4S, when I go to the icloud it sill has my previous email address, which I no longer have any access to. No I can not access anything associated with the icloud on my iphone because it won't allow me to update my email address there.

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

Is there an email security certificate for iCloud?

I had a mobileMe security certificate in Leopard that worked with Apple Mail. After getting a new machine, installing Lion and subscribing to iCloud I no longer have an Apple mail certificate for my iCloud/MobileMe account. I would like to get a free one and install it if there is one still available from Apple.
Also, I see that Comodo offers free e-mail certificates, but I haven't had any joy with installing that for my other e-mail domains.
Any suggestions? Verisign?

HT204053 How to set up E-Mail for ICloud on IPad

Hoe do I change Password for Email set up
for ICloud ?

It depends on what PDF viewer you're using. For example, if you include a digital signature field, it will behave like a e-signature field in Readdle's PDF Expert. Adobe Reader for iOS has a feature that lets you create a signature by drawing with you finger and applying it wherever you want. PDF Expert has this feature too, so there's not really anything special you need to do apart from informing your users which PDF viewer works best with the form. Note that some don't support form features at all, while others have limited support, particularly for JavaScript.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

Can i get my old mobile me email name if i sign up for iCloud now

can i get me old mobile me email name if i sign up for iCloud now

Try signing in in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud with your MobileMe address. It's possible that you may be able to open an iCloud account using it, though as it's now several years since MobileMe closed this situation doesn't arise often and I don't know whether you will now be able to do this. When you enable Mail you should get both your @me.com address and also an @icloud.com address with the same prefix.
