How can i create a new email address and change it to my Apple ID?

I set-up a me.com address but mispelled my name.  How can I crate another email address and update my icloud

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Just log out of the current account and create a new account and merge your data when prompted. You might be better exporting your data from calendars and contacts to your desktop before you start so you have a back up.

  • HT1920 I don't have the same email account as the one I originally started with, so when I try to log into the Apple store or iTunes it wants to send my password to my email.  How can I get my new email address and password?

    I would like to change my email address on my itunes account so I can get email updates.  How can I change it on my phone to correspond with my computer?And when I tried to get iheart radio on my iphone it gave me the "terms and conditions" pages but no button to "agree".  I need help.

    You can try getting the password reset via this page : http://iforgot.apple.com
    If you can't then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the password and your questions reset.

    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address to your account for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • How do i create a new email address?

    how do i create a new email address in Mail?

    Have you already established a new email account with an email provider such as Apple, Yahoo, Google, etc.? From the email provider you will need to know the email address ([email protected]), and the password for the account. If this is a common used provider such as iCLoud, MS Exchange, Google, Yahoo, or AOL that is all you will need to know Mail will fill in the rest of the information automatically. For other accounts you will need to know the acount type (POP3 or IMAP), the URL for the POP or IMAP server, the security type for the server, the URL for the outgoing email server (SMTP) and the security type for it. Don't panic over all this, most email providers have instructions on their site for setting up Apple Mail -- you just have to find it.
    Once you have the information together, open Mail then on the menu bar at the top of the screen select Mail > Preferences > Accounts. Click on the plus sign at the bottom of the list of accounts and start by entering your new email address and password. Mail will then attempt to fill in the rest of the information it needs. If it is unable to do so, you will have to fill in the information yourself hopefully following the instructions provided by the email provider.

  • How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and  need to update my Apple ID.

    How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and  need to update my Apple. Frustrated!!

    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • HT4897 how do I create a new email address

    I am trying to set up a new Mail email account and can't seem to make it happen. My main account is in iCloud but setup keeps taking me to MobileMe. I see the new email address, etc., but cannot go online, cannot send or receive messages. Feel like I've tried everything but can't make it happen. Advice?!

  • How can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my apps?

    I'm sharing an iCloud and iTunes account and want to have my own. Can I create a new iCloud account and transfer my contact list? If I keep the existing iTunes account with the new iCloud acct, can I reload my apps without purchasing them again? I understand I can create a new iTunes acct afterwards.

    OK, so you can create a separate Apple ID for yourself that you use for your Messages, iCloud, Mail, FaceTime, etc. and keep the one that you have your Apps on as your iTunes "Family" Account.
    Before you set up your new Apple ID, be sure to delete your iCloud account from your device: Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the account. Save your Contacts on your phone so you can merge them with your new iCloud account. Your notes, and Photos will still be on your old iCloud account, but if you want to keep any of your photos on your new iCloud account, it would be a good idea to import all of your photos to your computer first, so you can selectively download them to your device. (Note: only your Photo Stream will go away when you delete your iCloud account. Your Camera Roll will stay in place. It's just a good idea to back up that Camera Roll to a computer or to your new iCloud account immediately once you have set it up.
    You then would set up a brand new Apple ID for you under Manage your Apple ID: Apple - My Apple ID
    Once you get it set up, go into your devices and sign off the following:
    Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your "Family" Apple ID and Sign Out
    Settings>Facetime, click on your Apple ID and sign out
    You will leave your "Familiy" Apple/iTunes ID signed on on the iTunes & App Store, becasuse you willl continue to share your iTunes account with the family. Here is a little more info about using two Apple IDs:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    Once you have your new ID set up, go back into Messages and FaceTime and sign back in with your new ID
    Also, go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID, and be sure to "Merge" your contacts into your new iCloud account.
    Post back with any questions!
    Cheers,

  • 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.

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

    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.

  • HT4897 Can I create a new email address that will work with my existing Apple ID?

    Hello,
    When I got my first Mac I created an Apple ID. I later created an email account with the name [email protected] I'd like to have an address that is [email protected] I'd prefer not to use an alias. Can I do this without losing all the information in my Apple ID such as itunes purchases, computer purchase history, etc? How do I find out if the new email address I'd like to use is available?
    Thanks,
    kayjh

    You already have [email protected] If you want [email protected] you will have either to create an alias, or to create a new Apple ID (for which you will need a different non-Apple email address) and then create a new iCloud account. You can continue to be signed in in System Preferences>iCloud with your current ID, and the new one can be signed in in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars where it will appear in Mail alongside the current one as a separate account. Or you can scrap the present ID and sign in with the new one in System Preferences>iCloud but continue to use the old one to sign in in iTunes - there is no confilct about doing that (though of course any data such as Calendars ancd Contacts you have in the present account will disappear if you sign out). I should choose the second option - the new account in Mail, Contacts and Calendars.

  • Created a new email address and there is no toolbar to use when composing msgs.

    On our initial email address there tools to use when composing letters, msgs, etc but there is no toolbar there to help change the fonts, do highlights, edit for columns, etc. Why did it not establish one at the beginning when I created this new email. Thanks, Donna

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
    *"View > Toolbars" or Firefox > Options
    Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
    *View > Toolbars > Customize
    *Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up
    You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file if the above didn't help.

  • Adding new email addresses and changing other deta...

    hi there new to all this so i was wondering if there is help about? i signed up to bt using an email address i use frequentl but want to make a new address for my billing with bt and other emails to be sent to-
    1) how do i do this?
    2) if i do this can i change my user name?

    Hi ra-ra,
    Welcome to the forum.
    If you signed up to BT Total Broadband you would've received a primary @btinternet.com email address, and you can set up a number of sub-accounts.
    If you don't have broadband with BT, are you referring to setting up a free webmail account?
    You can change your MyBT email address by logging onto www.bt.com/mybt, but the username can't be changed. You can set up a new profile though with a username of your choice (provided it's available).

  • How do I create a new email address using Mozilla Firefox 5?

    I'm using Mozilla Firefox 5 as my Browser as I like it and Internet Explorer 9 doesn't work well with many sites I use. I would like to set up an email on your site, if possible, instead of my home email. I want to delete my old, other emails from Yahoo and deactivate that account. Can u help me? Do u have an email setup? I saw Thunderbird, but don't know if it's updated and it always has a popup that it's encrypted and not safe to use. Thank you. Geri aka FireFoxLady

    Thunderbird is a email client and the Thunderbird is still being maintained as Thunderbird 5.0 was released recently. In order use Thunderbird you need to have a email account somewhere. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
    Firefox as you know is a web browser as the closest it deals with emails is when you view a webmail service at say Gmail or Yahoo or such.
    Mozilla themselves do not have a email service, at least not for the public as select Mozilla employees do have a @mozilla.com email address.

  • How can I backup iphone contacts/email/addresses and transfer them to PC ea

    Hey,guys!!!i have one quick question about my iphone contact backup ...
    I have an iphone that has all my contacts stored in it.... (phone numbers, email, addresses, etc...) and I recently
    bought an new computer, but I don't have any of this information stored in it.
    My question is, how can I sync my iphone with to my PC without erasing the info in the iphone. I don't want my system
    to think that since the PC is empty it should erase every contact in the iphone. I just want to transfer everything
    from iphone and have a copy on PC,especially the contacts.
    Appreciated your early reply.

    Maybe you should go Discussion-Apple to look for what is iTunes user directions about how to backup your iphone.
    Other than there are also a tool called Contacts Tool search iphone applications,and it will help u a lot if u want to transfer the contacts to computer.Like Out2003 or Outlook2007...
    Outlook 2003:
    1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Options.
    2. Click Other and then click Advanced Options.
    3. Select COM add-ins and select the iTunes sync add-in and click OK.
    4. Click Apply and then continue with the steps below.
    Outlook 2007:
    1. In Outlook, choose Tools > Trust Center.
    2. In the Categories pane, click Add-ins.
    3. In the Details pane, locate the iTunes add-in in the "Inactive Application Add-ins" list.
    4. In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
    5. In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the iTunes sync add-in.
    6. Click OK.
    Besides,if you are always frustrated the directions of iTunes and Outlook.I want to give your advice to try out other professional transfer contact software.As far as i concerned,you can download the [trail version|http://hotdownloads.com/trialware/download/Downloadtanseeiphonecontact_.exe?item=13181-12&affiliate=575053&sscoupon=SOFT-QSTG] of [Tansee iPhone Transfer Contact|http://www.softwarebbs.com/wiki/TanseeiPhone_TransferContact] for free,which can help you back up your iPhone contacts along with contact photos to computer as a file (either txt or antc).
    Hope you have a wonderful time.
