How can I convert an iCloud alias to an email Address?

We created an email alias for my wife to use as part of our MobileMe/iCloud account.
Now we want to convert that over to a separate email address as part of our family plan.
How can we do that?
Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, you can not do that. The family account and oppotunity to covert an alias to a new separate account were features of MobileMe. Since iCloud launched, there is no family account anymore and you can not convert an email alias to become a new iCloud account.
If you want to create a new account for your wife, then follow these steps:
Mac (Lion + Mountain Lion): System Preferences > Mali, Contacts, Calandars > + to add a new account > iCloud
iPhone/iPad (iOS 5): Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > iCloud

  • How can I change the iCloud setting to my email address. I can't log out of the previous owners email I'd without his password

    I have my sons old iPhone. iCloud is still under his email address. I can't close it and re start without his password. If I put his password in I am worried it will delete all his backup.  Any suggestions?

    Not completely clear on what you are trying to do, but I will take a shot.
    1.  If you do not want to continue using your son's account on the old phone, factory reset it and set it up with your Apple ID.  It will be like you have a new phone.
    1.  To prevent a problem with your son's backup, connect the newly-reset phone to the computer and cancel the sync immediately.  Rename the old iPhone immediately and you will not have to worry about messing up your son's backup.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I find out the mail server from email address?

    Hi:
    How can I find out the mail server from email address?
    for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
    how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
    THANK YOU

    You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
    The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

    My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please

    First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab.  Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
    An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours.  Did you let someone else use your iPhone?

  • How can I make a migration copy of my email addresses for use in another program.

    It is necessary to make a migration copy of all our email addresses for transfer to windows express.
    Our office overseas can not use Thunderbird & needs all our email addresses stored in Thunderbird copied for migration into their windows express program. How can this be achieved.?
    I think we may also need to transfer email copies too, can this be done.?
    If so, how.?
    Regards Kym

    Ok I have googled, I have found a windows cleaning company in Switzerland http://www.windowsexpress.org/About-Us.htmland something called Parallels Desktop for Mac with instructions for installing windows on a mac.
    So I think we need to go back to the beginning with "What is Windows express?"
    Email programs as a general rule do not "export" their contents into another mail clients formats. The normal procedure is to "import" the foreign format so there are some obvious questions
    What formats can this mail software import?
    Are your existing mail accounts IMAP or pop?
    you can export email addresses from Thunderbird as CSV which almost all programs can read (including spreadsheets) From the address book select the Tools menu (Alt+ T) and select the export option

  • How can i stop auto recall of username or email address when logging to websites esp facebook

    thanks!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Can you use an .mac alias as "from" email address in .mac account?

    My .mac account is in my full name @.mac and MAIL automatically uses that as the "from" email address when i send mail. Is there any way to use one of my .mac aliases instead?

    For the email account preferences for any email account, there is a Name field which you can enter anything to appear as your name when sending a message with the account and there is an email address field for the same. With a .Mac account, you cannot enter a different email address to appear as the sending email address for a message sent by the account.
    You can send messages from your .Mac account alias email address but the name you have entered for the Name field under the Account Information for your .Mac account preferences will be the name shown with the alias email address when sending a message with the alias.

  • How can we access the logged in SSO user email address in websheet app

    Is there any way where we can find the email address of the logged in SSO user, do we have any variables which we can use and if so how can we use in our websheet application?
    could any please guide me on this
    thanks
    srinivas p.

    You can't access it directly. But your applet can make net connections to the server, and the server can provide that kind of functionality. Generally this is easiest by making HTTP connections and having the server provide the functionality via the web server. (So in your case, JSPs or servlets on the server would list/deliver/create/modify/delete files, and the applets would invoke those JSPs and servlets.
