How can I set up an Apple email address

Hi,
I have an Apple account, when I first purchased the Mac Mini in 2009, my grandson set it up for me. Now that I am getting a lot more familiar with Apple thanks to all you ladies and gentlemen who have contributed to my learning, I now wish to have an Apple email address and do away with Google, can anyone please point me in the right direction please. I do not have ICloud on the Mac Mini, having said that, I noticed that when I purchased software from Apple or songs from Itunes, items I deleted are stored on ICloud.
As I am still running Snow Leopard, I will be upgrading to Maverick, should I wait till I do that and then set up a new Apple email address?
Thank you
Kind regards

If only a Mac you need Lion or later to get an iCloud account

HT204053 How do I set up a rescue email address if I already have an Apple ID?

I have an Apple ID, but I did not set up a rescue email address. Now I need a rescue email address in order to reset my security questions/answers. How can I set up the rescue email address?

You won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions, so you will need to get them reset first - see if the instructions on this user tip helps you get them reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
When you can answer the questions you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use - from here :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.

I created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID?

I have created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address as the primary email address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID right?
I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
thanks

You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.

You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.

HT2731 can I set up a second email address on iCloud using the same apple id

can I set up a 2nd email address on iCloud using the same apple I'd for a 4s iPhone?

You can create up to 3 alias @icloud.com email addresses for that purpose. They will all receive email in your existing iCloud inbox and they can be deactivated or deleted if they attract too much spam. This article explains how to create an alias address: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

How do I set up a 2nd email address in iCloud? When it was mobile me, I could have 3 addresses. Can I have 2 with iCloud?

You must be talking about email aliases. Log into icloud.com with a browser, go to the email page and click the cog wheel icon in the upper right. Go to preferences>accounts. YOu can define aliases there. Note that they must now be @icloud.com named emails.

private address (address type 2)

At this time you cannot reassign printer email addresses. Also, keep in mind If you delete a printer email address then you will not be able to use that same email address again for six months.

How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
regards
Brendon

Hi bmuur,
I also had the same problem.
I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
I then clicked create and it worked for me.
Hopefully this solves your problem.

HT4897 how can I check availability of icloud email address

How can I check availability of icloud email address?

Try to create one. If it's taken you will get a message saying so. Of course only try this with an address you really want since if you can create it you won't be able to delete it if it's the main account address.
In theory you can check email addresses by using 'Finger' but it's not in the least reliable and doesn't seem to work with iCloud at all (and many ISPs simply refuse it). 'Ping' will return a positive whether the address exists or not (it checks the domain only).
