Email takes username as email address

When I set up my email manually it assumes that my username is my email address.
On the first screen I put my email address and password then click 'Manually Setup'.  On the next screen if I leave my username as my email address I can't go any further as it doesn't recognise my username (which I would expect), but if I change it to my correct username, the username is then used as my email address which is incorrect.
How do I put in a different email address and username?

Does it still let you sign in and view emails - My system email app asks me what I should call my email account

  • On starting up firefox i am getting an error message from javascript application telling me that my username is an invalid username/password combination.If i continue to get this error message,try entering my email address as my username.

    Hi,on starting firefox which i have used solely as my browser for years i am now getting an error message from java script application that shows my username followed by a message saying; 'username'-Invalid username/password combination.If you keep getting this error,try entering your email address as your username'. I then press the OK button within that error message box and it dissapears and everything seems ok although hover my cursor over the mail(envelope) icon and it says not connected.
    I only started having this problem since downloading firefox 4.It also does not tell me where this problem is occuring so i do not know where to log on with this information.I would be most grateful for any help with this matter.Many thanks.

    Take a look in the Error Console for details about that.

    Right-click the message and use '''Copy''' to get that complete message.

  • Cannot access iCloud because I don't have the primary email and password I originally set it up with. Is there any way to remove this primary username and password without either the email address and the password?

    How do I delete an old iCloud username and password. I have neither of them anymore and cannot access icloud to change settings. Set up a second username and password but icloud still won't rcognize the my birthdate and security questions answers I've answed. hope somebody else has had this problem. Thanks

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Error when starting Firefox 3.6. "Javascript Application error. Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username." Any suggestions on what to look for to resolve this?

    When starting Mozilla Firefox 3.6, I get an error window which opens up additionally overtop my browser windows stating:
    "Javascript Application"
    followed with :
    "Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username."
    Obviously it is happening with one of my email addresses/usernames & password combinations of which I know the username for (which I choose not to post here) and I'm not sure where to begin looking for a resolution to this problem.

    I was able to resolve this by disabling (under Tools - Add-ons) Yahoo! Mail Notifier
    Hope this helps some of you also!

  • How do I change my username and email address?

    I am unable to find where to change my iTunes Store username and email address. There's nowhere on this site to be able to change it. Can I only change it through iTunes?

    You can edit your Apple ID(which is your iTunes Store account name) via Apple's My Apple ID website https://appleid.apple.com/com by following these steps:
    1.) Click "Manage your account" on the right hand side of the page.
    2.) Click edit next to your Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
    3.) Edit your account name to the desired email address.
    4.) Click Save Changes.
    Hope this helps.

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

  • How do I get my messages to come through on my ipad Via my mobile number? They always used to but I've had to change all my Apple ID if that has anything to do with it? In iMessages it will only take an email address!

  • I'm trying to register for an iCloud account with my apple ID but it's telling me it needs to be an email address. I try and amend my username so it's the same as my email address but nothing happens! HELP?!

    Hi - I'm trying to register for an iCloud account (I've just had a baby and am terrified I'm going to lose all my photos of him!) but when I try and register, it tells me it needs an email address so I go to edit my username and try and amend it so my email address and username are the same thing but nothing is happening.  I keep going round in circles - can someone help?!

    Where are you trying to amend your username?
    It should be done at http://appleid.apple.com/

  • Can't change my username to my email address

    I am experiencing a problem that looks fairly unique. I've searched all around and haven't found any similar cases.
    I have an iTunes account with username albedoa associated with a verified email address which I will refer to as email. I know that iCloud will require a username in email format, so I wanted to switch my username to email. In my account settings, I saw this option:
    Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same.
    Your Apple ID will be easier to remember, and your account will be easier to access and manage.
    Change your Apple ID and primary email address to:
    email
    I clicked the Submit button, and nothing happened. I tried it in both Chrome and Safari, but each time the page would reload and my username would still be shown as albedoa. If I tried to edit the username directly to reflect email, I received the following error:
    This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID.
    So I made a new account with the username email and associated it to the email address email (the same as the other account). However, I cannot install my purchased apps using that account because they were purchased using my other account. What is going on here? How am I to retain my purchases when iCloud is activated? I don't have a MobileMe account.
    Thanks!

    OK I figured out a workaround. Here are the steps:
    1. Go to iforgot.apple.com and retrieve/reset the password for the 'email address' account that you want ([email protected] let's say).
    2. Once you have the password for the 'email address' account login to appleid.apple.com using the email address login.
    3. Change the username/primary email to another email address that you have access too that is different from the email you want your primary AppleID to be.
    4. Verify the change from step 3 by clicking on the link in the confirmation email.
    5. Login to appleid.apple.com using your primary, non-email address account and click 'edit' next to the Apple ID field and change it to match the email you want.
    6. Click Save Changes at the bottom.

  • My wife and I want to swap her 4s for my 4 while a take a short trip out of the country.  We use the same email address for itunes but different for email.  Can we just change our phone numbers and email addresses so we get our own messages?

    My wife and I want to swap her iphone 4s for my iphone 4 while I take a short trip out of the country.  We use the same itunes account but have different email accounts.  Can we just change our phone numbers with our carrier and change email addresses on our phones so we get correct messages, with out disturbing our other apps?

    The email is simple. Just delete her email acoount on her iPhone and configure your account into the phone and then do the same for her on your phone.
    The harder issue is that to switch the cellular phone service you will need to switch the SIM cards and the two phones do not use the same size SIM card.

  • JAVA SCRIPT application: Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.

    Every time I start up Firefox, I get the following:
    JavaScript Application
    "mfernandez1957" Invalid username/password combination. If you continue to get this error, try entering your email address as your username.
    What do I do?
    Another issue is hang ups, I mean every few seconds it hangs up and I get (Not Responding), which is frustrating when you're entering data or whatever and in the middle it freezes so then you have to go back and retype stuff that never got entered. It even hangs right out the gate, I get (Not Responding), I mean, before Firefox is even fully loaded, it hangs, it even hangs (though considerably less frequently) with all my plug ins currently disabled. So that's another issue.
    If y'all can help, I would be grateful.
