Gmail from iCloud

My primary email account is my Gmail account.  Recently, I'm noticing that when I sent mail, sometimes it's sent as @gmail.com, and sometimes it goes as @iCloud.com  How do I get it to send just as GMail?  And why does it do this intermittently?

I would go into Mail  in the settings tap and delete iCloud. It prolly sents from there if you click on something in browser. Like a defauly setting.

  • How to withdraw Gmail from iCloud account?

    When I first created my Apple ID, I didn’t know anything about iCloud, so I entered my Gmail ([email protected]) as my primary mail.
    After this creation Apple gave me iCloud mail ([email protected]/[email protected]) which now I want to use as my primary mail and forget about Gmail forever.
    Problem is: I can’t remove Gmail from my Apple ID and use iCloud mail instead, using appleid.apple.com. I’m getting message that I couldn’t "use a domain owned by Apple".
    My goal is to withdraw Gmail from my Apple ecosystem and use in it only iCloud mail as primary mail for everything: for login, for getting messages and notifications from Apple, everything.
    Who can help me with that?
    P. S. The main reason is that I want receive important emails from Apple on my iCloud mail, not my Gmail, because I barely check my Gmail and almost forgot about its existence.
    So if there is a way to make Apple send notifications not for primary email but for alternate—it would kinda solve my problem.

    same here... i would love to get rid of my old gmail account and use my iCloud email address for this...

  • Migrate from gMail to iCloud email : storage issues?

    Hi
    I'm considering dropping my existing but unwieldy gMail address, for a more concise [email protected] address. My concern is around storage space. It's my understanding that the standard iCloud account is just 5Gb - whereas the standard gMail account is limitless - correct? If so, surely my iCloud storage will in time, be consumed with large volumes of email. I'd then be forced to deal with that by 'spring cleaning' the iCloud server  -and in the process, could lose something I later need.
    Am I correct in assuming there's a 5Gb limit on iCloud acounts?
    Matthew

    5 GB's is the amount of the free service and you can purchase additional storage if needed.
    I've had the same Apple mac.com address since 2000 and have less than 100 emails still on their servers. You can move files from iCloud to your computer to free up space.

  • TS4147 My Contacts are coming from my ICloud Account.  I want it to come from my GMAil Account.  I can remove it from ICloud, but Contacts isn't an option under GMAIL.  What can I do?

    My Contacts are coming from my ICloud Account.  I want it to come from my GMAil Account.  I can remove it from ICloud, but Contacts isn't an option under GMAIL.  What can I do?  Is there a way to merge my gmail contacts to icloud?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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, 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.

  • Emails display in Gmail from wrong sender on iPhone only

    This is a weird one.  iPhone 6 running 8.0.2.  I've had every iPhone since 2007 and have never seen this before.  My 6 has been rock solid since I picked it up on launch day.
    I shipped a package via USPS, and signed up for tracking updates via email to my main Gmail account, which I've done 100 times.  Yesterday morning I received one of the tracking emails...the sender displays as [email protected] in my inbox with the subject line as "USPS Shipment Info for <tracking number>".  All good and normal.
    Here's the weird thing - the next 6 emails received directly after that one ALSO display as coming from [email protected] with that same subject line, even though they are really from various senders - Groupon, BestBuy, MLB, etc.  When I tap one of those messages to read it, it still shows the USPS sender and subject, but actual the body of the email is correct and as it should be - Groupon, BestBuy, etc.  Restarting the phone had no effect.
    When I view that Gmail inbox on my iPad or on a full browser on my desktop computer, those emails display properly, and don't have the rogue USPS info associated with them.  Nothing has changed with this Gmail account, and this phone was set up from my iPhone 5's last backup, which never had this issue.  All emails received since yesterday morning are behaving normally.
    Do I call this a weird glitch and just move on?  Has anyone seen anything like this, or have any idea what might have caused it?  Thanks!

    I did saw this on my phone when i first install iOS 8 on iPhone 5. But haven't see it after 8.0.1 or 8.1 update. It was rare though.
    I do have this new issue on 8.1.1 that is somewhat related to this. I hope others can chime in.
    I have gmail on my phone.
    Delete a few emails from inbox.
    then when i go into mail -> Accounts -> All Mail -> and move what i deleted back into Gmail inbox, 75% of the time, the moved email will have the wrong 'sender'. It will pick one of the recipient as a sender to display.
    However, when i go into gmail from a desktop computer, it will show the CORRECT original sender.
    I even restarted the phone and same error.
    If I forward the email, the CORRECT original sender will be shown.
    This bug does not happen on Yahoo or iCloud mail.
    Is anyone having this issue? 

  • Download iWork documents from iCloud to Mac in Pages 5.0 and Numbers 3.0

    Does anyone know how to download iWork documents from iCloud to Mac, most specifically from Pages 5.0 and Numbers 3.0. It seems that Apple have taken away the ability to do so, as in the past I believe there was a download button... All I am trying to do is download the document to attach and send via Gmail.
    Extremely frustrating as I can't find any discussion surrounding this problem.

    Have you tried right-clicking the document to get an option to download it.

  • I'm trying to retrieve contacts from iCloud on my new samsung but it says that there is no back up data in my account

    I'm trying to retrieve contacts from iCloud on my new samsung but it says that there is no back up data in my account

    If your contacts are on icloud.com, download them as a vCard as explained here: iCloud: Export contact information as a vCard.  Then import them to your phone as explained in your manual.  If you aren't able to, you can create a Gmail account and import the vCard to Gmail as explained here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en, then add the Gmail account to your phone and sync your contacts from Gmail.
    If they aren't on icloud.com, I'm not sure how you would access them from a backup on a Samsung, even if there was a backup.

  • Untangling Mavericks from iCloud

    I recently updated our Macs from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) to Mavericks (10.9.x). We had skipped Lion and Mountain Lion due to their heavy iCloud entanglement. iCloud syncing is a handy tool for on-the-go metropolitans with high bandwidth, symmetrical internet access and/or abundant free WiFi locations. But for those of us who live in the country, with our only choice being low bandwidth asymmetrical (often capped) internet access, iCloud syncing of photo streams and data is a cruel, have-vs-have-not, joke. Besides, I’ve never thought it was all that clever to share/sync files, calendars, contacts, notes between two Macs attached to the same private WiFi network by pushing the data to/from the cloud.
    So as soon as I did the clean install of Mavericks, I began looking for how to untangle Mavericks (and iOS 7) from iCloud. The following tables summarize what I did. If anyone is interested in the details, just ask.
    Minimize iCloud Entanglement in OS X
    iMac & MacBook Pro
    Internet Accounts
    Turn off iCloud sharing (except Mail)
      Sync Mail
    Use IMAP Mail servers (iCloud & gmail)
    Sharing/Syncing (local network only)
    Install OS X server and set up...
      Files
    File Sharing
      Calendar
    CalDav
      Contacts
    CardDav
      Notes
    Mail server (used only for Notes)
    Sharing/Syncing (via iCloud)
      Photos
    Limited use of small Shared Photo Streams*
    Apple’s “iCloud” Applications:
    (e.g. TextEdit, Preview,…)
      Open/save dialogs
    Turn off iCloud saving in iCloud sys pref
      Missing menu item for “Save As…”
    Add keyboard shortcut (shift-command-s)
    Minimize iCloud Entanglement in iOS
    iPad Mini & iPhone 5s
    Sync Mail
    Use IMAP Mail servers (as above)
    Sharing/Syncing (local network only)
      Calendars, Contacts, Notes
    Use local OSX server (as above)
    Sharing/Syncing (via iCloud)
      Photos
    Limited use of small Shared Photo Streams*
    Backups
    Manually backup to Macs
    *Apple’s existing iOS tools (Photos and iPhoto) for organizing photos into albums and then syncing them with Macs are pitifully inadequate. For us, the simplest method is to build an album on a Mac in iPhoto and share it with our other Mac and iOS devices via a Shared Photo Stream. Even this limited use of the iCloud has drawbacks. Like when we brought the new iPhone 5s home and it brought our internet connection to it’s knees for several hours while downloading the Shared Photo Streams in the background.
    —GetRealBro

    The reasons to untangle Mavericks from the clouds fall into two main categories:
    Practical - reduced use of iCloud services which can use considerable bandwidth (e.g. Photo Streams) and/or use bandwidth at inconvenient  times (e.g. App Store update downloads in the background).
    Several items are quick and easy settings within Mavericks/iOS 7 which address the more “practical” aspects.
    Photo Streams - If you take a lot of photos and have several iOS and OS X devices, My Photo Streams can be a serious bandwidth hog. You can turn them off in OSX - iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud and iOS Settings>iCloud.>Photos
    App store background updates - You can’t reduce the bandwidth required to download the updates. But you can control WHEN that bandwidth is used by setting the App Store preferences which are found in….  System Preferences.
    iOS Backups - You can reduce the bandwidth required to backup your iOS devices to the iCloud by adjusting which items are backed up to iCloud - Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage>[pick your iOS device]. Then periodically backup your iOS devices manually in iTunes.
    Apple’s “iCloud Apps” (e.g. Textedit, Preview, iMovie, iWorks apps etc) - in OSX you can turn off storing/syncing via iCloud by adjusting the settings in…. System Preferences>iCloud>Documents & Data. In iOS you adjust these in Settings>[scroll to the application name]>Use iCloud
    Philosophical - replacing iCloud services (e.g. syncing/sharing of Contacts, Calendars, Notes, etc.) with local services to enhance privacy and possibly improve performance, depending on internet bandwidth / caps.
    Here are some things to consider before replacing iCloud services with local ones provided by OSXServer.
    Setting up an OSXserver to share/sync Calendars, Contacts, Notes, etc. will not dramatically reduce your internet bandwidth.
    The key component OSXserver costs $20 and requires a Mac that is running 24/7/365 (e.g. a headless Mac Mini). OSxserver does NOT require a dedicated Mac. It can run on a “users” Mac (e.g. an iMac). But that user has to be mindful to not disrupt services with frequent/unannounced Restarts (e.g. as required by some software updates).
    The local shared services (syncing contacts/calendar, file sharing, etc.) only work when you are connected to your local WiFi network. For example, if you add a Contact, make a Note or add a Calendar item on your iPhone while at the dentist, they will not get synced to your Mac/iPad until you get back home.
    Setting up an OSXServer for syncing sharing, Contacts, Calendars, Notes, and Files is not difficult. But it requires a bit of planning to configure user accounts etc., so that it is easy to configure/administer the iOS and OSX devices. And of course you become the systems administrator for the OSXserver. Sharing/syncing Contacts, Calendars, Notes via OSXserver rather than iCloud will not reduce significant internet traffic/bandwidth. The main reason to switch to OSXserver is philosophical.
    Apple’s iWork apps (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) are difficult to untangle from iCloud. OSX server does support Webdav for “sharing” iWork app files between users/devices. But this is not the same a live syncing via iCloud.
    Finally, the actual untangling takes some planning to extract the contacts and calendar info from iCloud and transfer it to calDAV and cardDAV on OSXserver.
    Are you after the “practical” or “philosophical” or both?

  • Recovery of lost Notes in IPad from iCloud.

    I was trying to sort out a compromised email account on my IPad when I ignorantly deleted the notes. I need to retrieve them but I do not know how. Is it possible to have it restored from ICloud? I need help. Please.

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the notes were gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those notes.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the notes that you need, recover deleted notes from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"
    Gmail emails are very commmon sources for notes and you may have been adding them to the gmail notes without even knowing it.

  • HT4859 Restore Contacts from iCloud

    Can I restore the edited Contacts from iCloud into my iPhone that is not a new device?

    Here is what happened. Somehow, I synced my iPhone with all of my Google contacts, which added unnecessary garbage to my iPhone contacts. Meanwhile, it automatically backed it up a few times on my iPhone and to the iCloud. In other words, I forever lost my clean phone contact list. Somehow, I only have gmail email list on my iPhone contact list.. bizarre... So, I went to iCloud and cleaned up the contact list since it's a lot easier to do on iCloud than directly on the phone. I even exported the Contact as a vcard into external file. But I can't figure out how to restore my Contact list by importing - either from iCloud, or, from external file into my iPhone.
    Am I clear?

  • HT4859 Restoring contacts from Icloud

  • Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

    Alias address from iCloud alias address cannot be used to send mails via iPad

    If you still have this concern: You can only use the alias address linked to the main iCloud account that you backup your iPad to. You can check that going to Setting-iCloud and check the Account email address.
    I think this restriction is rather rediculous. I don't see why we can't configure an alias from a different iCloud account the same way we do for a Gmail account. I hope Apple fixes this in iOS 6.

  • Gmail and iCloud calendars seem incompatible

    I am experiencing two issues with calendars on my new iPad (3rd gen) related to GMail. I have spoken with Level 2 support (so far, no luck in solving this problem), and have scoured these support pages ... several possible solutions do not appear to be working. So alas, I'll ask the question and hope for some insights.
    ISSUE 1: Cannot add invitees when creating calendar entries on a Google Calendar
    On my iPad, I have 3 calendars set up ... default iCloud calendar + two Google calendars. All three synch perfectly between my iPad and other devices. However, if I create a new event on my iPad, there is no option to add invitees to an event created on my Google calendars ... neither my primary calendar or the secondary calendar I share with my family. I can, however, add invitees to a new event created with my iCloud calendar. However, there seems to be an issue with this as well....
    ISSUE 2: Invitations from iCloud calendar are not sending
    Again, from my iPad, when I add any user's email address to receive invitations from my iCloud calendar, the invites do not appear to be going out.... at least not to any of my email addresses or my wife's email address. When I attempt to send an invite to my Gmail account, my name simply disappears after a few seconds (my gmail account is my iCloud account / Apple ID). When I send an invite to my office email address, the name does not disappear, but I receive no invitation at work.  So basically, I can't send invites from my iPad.... period.
    A few facts...
    My Gmail email address is my Apple ID.
    Many of my friends' and colleagues' email addresses are either their Apple ID's or alternative email addresses (I saw several posts about "bugs" with iCloud relating to auto-forwarding of calendar invites to iCloud for addresses that are associated with Apple IDs).
    I have turned OFF the default setting in iCloud calendar to automatically forward invites to my iCloud calendar (pursuant to another post on this subject)
    I used to use a different email address (Yahoo) for my Apple ID. At that time, I could send invitations using my Google calendar with no issues. This problem only started to occur when I switched my Apple ID to my Gmail account, which I prefer as it enables seamless synching of contacts.
    I am all ears ... willing to try almost anything. Help is appreciated.
    Thanks.
    - David

    Why do you need them in iCloud? You can use Google as the point of sync instead on all your devices.
