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?

Each device can have only one iCloud ID defined. If you two have different devices and you have defined one ID on yours, then your wife can define a new one on hers. Look in the right panel for links to threads having to do with defining/changing the ID

  • 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.

  • HT4436 How do I set up a second iCloud email account?

    How do I set up a second iCloud email account?

    Well Roger , it may not be particularly difficult for you it is quiet clear that for several thousand people who managed to find the time to seek out help for these devices and programs that the manufacturer is unable or unwilling to provide it is at the very least "difficult"! If we are to tally up the amount of questions and inquiries posted on this one help site, I shudder to think of the size of the iceberg of inoperative functions and thus lost revenue to all those people , company's that like me have found things "difficult "! Last summer I created a "I cloud " address in a hurry while in dep lounge LHR
    And now wish to change as above is reputed to be used by notorious thugs who assault seniors on streets and post result on Web, useing same letters that I had hastily typed prior to Flt over pond. Alas like you I am now aware of the inability of changing address and thus wish to create " alias" to at least hide offending letters . The can of worms gets  more difficult as my main comp is an antique HP  windows 7 on which I have installed Apple  control panel ! Thus I get duplicate mail on an MSN Acc plus Hot mail that is still unable to decide if it wants to be known as "Outlook " or not? All the folders created by me for "HotMail " will show up with some persuasive tapping but will not allow the release to view their contents? If I click on "cloud mail" "no mail" message  is shown! I can deposit info /file in Cloud mail "archive" but only if I navigate to " Mail box Accounts" first ? If I want to create a file , no facility seems to be available ? So info/files that warrant saving /filing are left flagged ,sloshing about in the InBox or stuffed into over burdened  "Cloud Account!
    I have tried to follow instructions in Apple Corp official instructions ,both I Pad and Cloud and am unable to locate the term "preferences" as no "Action pop up menu * has shown itself! thus I am unable click "Accounts" or "add an Alias" !
    I must confess I have been very rude to the Micro Soft people in the past for my inability to grapple with their system , but now think perhaps I am the problem as Parkinson's will affect cognitive  function?...... Your remark re expecting "free" mail box features in my opinion is a bit like the car salesman saying " No Sir, that is the price for the car , the oil ,
    Anti freeze , trans fluid , battery acid are all extra!!??..... Carry on London!!!!

  • I recently upgraded my iphone 4 to a iphone5 and everytime i take pictures etc they store on the old phone as well as the new on iloud, how can I set up a new icloud on the old phone for my mum whos now using it without losing everything that was ? thanks

    i recently bought a new iphone 5 and gave the old iphone 4 to my mum.  every time i take picstures they automatically store on the iphone 4, how can i set up a new icloud for my mum on the iphone 4 but keep everything on my iphone 5?

    Your iphone 4 must still be logged into your icloud account.  Go to settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of page and tap Delete Account.  This will remove all your data from the old device but not from icloud or your iphone 5.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • How do I set up a new iCloud account

    I changed my Apple ID because I have changed my IP and my previous address is no longer active. Thanks to some kind people on here I've resolved problems with apps etc but now have a problem with iCloud. It keeps asking for my previous log in details but then doesn't recognise them. From what I've read I need to set up a new iCloud account but can't find any info on how to do it. I can only find info on initial set up on new devices.  Can anyone help?  I ought to point out that I'm 60 with only average IT skills and I don't find Apple products intuitive no matter what the say!

  • 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.

    if they don't want to use a credit card, then they can create the ID this way.

  • TS4002 How do I re-add an existing iCloud email account to iPad 2?

    I set up iCloud email OK on my new iPad 2. I did not previously have a MobileMe account. When the email stopped working (I got repeated messages to say server unavailable) I followed Apple instructions to delete the account from the iPad with the intention of re-adding it.
    When I try to do this, it always wants to make me create a new @me.com email address, and I can't find a way to tell it my existing one. If I try to add my existing address, it tells me that it is taken and I have to choose another (of course it's taken, it's mine!)
    I can login to anything that requires an Apple ID (iTunes Store, Apple ID pages, iCloud.com etc.) with either my actual Apple ID or my existing @me.com email address and all the features on iCloud.com except Mail work fine, including Locate my iPad, Documents, Contacts, Calendar. The email address is also set up manually in Mail on my MacMini (OS 10.6.8) and still works from there. I don't wish to upgrade to 10.7 because I have some programs that won't work on that.
    How do I tell my iPad that I already have an iCloud email account @me.com?

    I have solved this - partially. I deleted the iCloud account from my iPad, rebooted it, then re-added it using my @me.com address as my AppleID instead of my primary AppleID. These are still linked to one another.
    The iPad still says it cannot contact the iCloud server, so in the Advanced pane of the Mail settings, Outgoing Mail Server, I have allowed it to use the outgoing server of another email address of mine.

  • New iCloud email account not working - duplicate/ambiguous directory match error

    I set myself up a new iCloud account this morning once I got iOS 5 loaded on my iPhone 3GS. I was able to create a new @me.com email address, but I think I might have stepped on someone else's existing address as when I send it email, I get a rejection immediately with "duplicate/ambiguous directory entry". iCloud email doesn't work on iCloud.com, and iCloud mail account on the iPhone tells me the user or password is incorrect.
    Other than that, iOS 5 is working great so far!

    Same symptoms - let's look at the "cause". I was digging in my iPhone settings and although I did everything as prompted in the iCloud setup here is what has actually happened under the hood.
    First - What iCloud guided me to do.
    •I had a @mac Apple ID I decided to use it for iCloud
    •iCloud said I neeeded a new @me address to use mail and iMessaging and asked me to set one up
    •I set up a new @me email address
    Sencond - The Results
    •I can receive email at my new @me address (expected)
    •I can login to iCloud online with my old Apple ID (expected)
    •I can not send outgoing mail - error on password (unexpected)
    Third - Under the Hood (Settings that are a little odd)
    On my iPhone, under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> iCloud -> Account,
    At the very bottom under "Advanced" is the email info, now this should be the new active @me address but its NOT! It's my old AppleID with the @mac address - which of course no one can use for "real email" anymore.
    iCloud on my phone is attempting to use my @mac address for outgoing messages!!!! ARGH!
    WORSE is you can not edit this! You can click and see details, change the "name" but you can not change the address!
    I think this might be the issue for all of us on this thread - check it out and see. If so it's something we will def. have to have a fix from apple for. :-( That or perhaps delete your iCloud account, your existing Apple ID and get a new @me Apple ID that will work for email as well. (PITA!) I hope we get a fix from Apple.

  • 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.

  • How can I set up a "receive only" email account in Outlook 2010

    I have an Outlook 2010 email account that receives emails from a "Fax-to email" service, and I'd like to make that accout "Receive Only".  Is it possible to do that, and if so, how.
    Capt. Dinosaur

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to set up a
    “Receive Only”email account in Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
    You have a few options available to you. You can set up the account with
    a fake SMTP server name and configure the Send/Receive group to not send mail from this account, or you can use a different, valid account for the Outgoing server, just in case you accidentally use the wrong account when you compose a message.
    First, create the account in Outlook: -
    Fill the name and address fields with the desired information. Select
    POP3 account type and enter the incoming server name.
    In the Outgoing server field, type
    nomail.
    Enter the correct username and password for the incoming mail account.
    If you want to verify the incoming server is correctly configured, click on
    Test Account Settings, and then choose the dialog after the incoming server is verified.
    Deselect the option to
    Automatically test account settings when the Next is clicked.
    Click on the
    Finish to return to Outlook.
    Because Outlook will error on every manual send and receive when it can not find the outgoing server error, you need to change the
    Send and Receive Settings for this account.
    Press
    Ctrl+Alt+A to open the Send/Receive Settings dialog. (or you can go to
    Send/Receive tab, Send/Receive Groups and select Define Send/Receive Groups.
    Click the
    Edit button.
    Select the receive-only account, then deselect
    Send Mail Items.
    Click on the
    OK, then Close to return to Outlook.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • TS3988 How can I set up a new icloud account with a new apple id when I have an old account for which I have lost the password and security questions etc

    I have changed isp and no longer have access to rescue email addresses and have lost my details. I have set up a new apple id and want to set up icloud with this but cant get past the icloud preferences pane with the old address. How do I get around this?

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
