How do i obtain a new iCloud email account

My father set up a new ipad mini for my mother without setting up an icloud email account.  How do I go back to reset and obtain an icloud and apple Id?
My father set the ipad up with a gmail account and forgot the password so everything is messed up help.

Well the Mac is way too old, but rhis situation may not be as bad as it appears. Take a look at these kb articles.
1. Did they enter an email address to use for an Apple ID? If they didn't, then they can create one where I stated in the other post - Settings>iTunes and App Store. They can create the ID in there.
If they want to use a credit card with their Apple ID. See this.
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes - Support
if they don't want to use a credit card, then they can create the ID this way.

2. This might help with the iCloud account. It is really quite simple.

  • How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

    Hi there
    How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
    When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
    I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
    When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
    Is there any way of resolving this? I
    Thanks

  • HT5824 How to create a new icloud email account

    I need to create a new Icloud email account for may company. How can I do it?

    Does your company have a domain name and website?  If it does you should be able to create an email address using the domain name.  For instance, if you company's website is  ABC.com you can have multiple email addresses like "[email protected]".  Check with the hosting service that is hosting your business website.

  • I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

    I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Setting up new icloud email account

    Do I need to set up a new account and apple ID to get a new icloud email account?  Its askling me to set up my account so I guess my question is when asking to set up new apple ID, this is not the id and password I use to access itunes and things like that right?  Sorry, Im a little new to this

    Hey meharazim,
    Try turning off your iPhone, and then going to the Apple ID website to see if you can edit/update your information.  I'll include some information below inclucing a link to the Apple ID Support team if you need help straightening this out.
    Once you have the Apple ID straightened out, if you are still not able to delete the iCloud account, you may need to restore the iPhone as a new device.

  • New icloud email account without changing apple ID

    Is it possible to get a new icloud email account without changing my apple ID?

    Not an account, no: you would have to create a new Apple ID and use it to create a new iCloud account. But it depends on what it is you are trying to do: if all you want is a different @icloud.com email address this is easy. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

  • How to I make a new icloud email on an existing apple id?

    I want to stop having my gmail be the account's main email for the Apple ID but I can't seem to find a way to neither make a new icloud email nor make my old MobileMe email be the new replacement. Is there any possibility of making an iCloud email that can replace my gmail so I can't stop being notified about anything Apple related on a gmail account? I just want my Apple things in an Apple account and my Gmail things for Gmail.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com, login with your Apple ID and set up your iCloud mail as the primary mail address

  • HT4864 How do I set up my iCloud email account to also receive my outlook or gmail email?

    How do I setup my iCloud email account to also receive email going to my window pc outlook email account and also my gmail account?
    Thanks,

    You can't do that within your iCloud Mail settings, you'd need to forward the mail from the individual 3rd party accounts.

  • HT4864 I'm confused with the syncing of email with Icloud.  Do I need to use the new Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts?

    I set up Icloud and an icloud email account in outlook 2010.  The calendar dates transferred to my Iphone but nothing of the emails.  The only email that go to my iphone are those that go to the new Iphone email account in outlook.  Do I have to use the Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts in order for my email to sync?  If not what can I do to get my outlook email to sync with my iphone? Thanks.

    iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc.  If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so.  Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

  • HT4436 How do I get a new iCloud email address ?

    How can I change my iCloud email address to a new one?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    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.

  • How do I set up a new iCloud email account

    I need to set up a seperate iCloud email for my wife, how do I do this?

  • How do i reset password for icloud email account which is not the same as my apple id password? I cannot see this anywhere in the online support pages.

    How do I reset an icloud email password on my iphone? It is not my apple id password. I cannot see anything in the online support at Apple.

    Go to http://appleid.apple.com to manage your iCloud ID and check to see if your @me.com address is associated with your ID.  If it isn't you'll have to contact iCloud support to see if it is still active, and if so, how to associate it with your account.

  • How do I get an additional iCloud email account?

    I've had a @me.com email account for years. But I need another email account for my business and I want it to be an @icloud.com account. Can this be done?

    You can create up to three aliases - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    (You may find that you can't create an alias just at the moment while they are rolling out the @icloud.com addresses to all accounts).
    Or you could create a new iCloud account - you will need to create a new Apple ID using a different email address from the on you used to create your present one. You can sign into System Preferences>Mail, contacts and Calendars with this and run it in addition to the existing one.
