How do i use my .mac email with iCloud?

I had a .mac account with mobile me which i switched over to iCloud when prompted. I just receently bought a brand new iMac and want to use my .mac email in the apple Mail program but it's not working. I'm assuming the "type" of email is iCloud. Any suggestions on how to get it up and running?

Don't try to set it up in the Mail program. Go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with your @me.com email address. Check Mail in the checklist there, and any other data types you want to sync.  Mail will be set up automatically and both the @me.com and @mac.com versions of your address should work.

  • .mac email with iCloud

    I have a .mac account that I did not renew and of course, cannot use as an active email account, but is still an active Apple ID that I use for iTunes. Is there anyway I can reactivate that email address to use in iCloud? I would be willing to pay to get that service reactivated.

  • How can I sync my company email with iCloud?

    I have my company email address synced with my iCal account but I want to sync with my iCloud account so it will be pushed to my iPad. How can I do this? Please and thank you!

    Yes, I am try isn't. To figure how to sync mail as well,  just a pop account.  It appears it his cannot be done. The response you received to just setup email directly on the device does not answer the question.  Yes, that is easy to do, but does not sync with devices which is the objective.  Are there more features coming from cloud??

  • How to set-up a private Email with icloud

    Hello,
    I have a couple of other E-Mail accounts that I would like to use as alias in addition to my principal account.
    Unfortunately I was not able to find a setting for doing this, while it is possible to do with both "GMAIL" and "OUTLOOK".
    Does anyone know, if this function really is not available in icloud or maybe I cannot find it?
    Thank you

    Hello notachav,
    From what I can gather, it sounds like you are trying to utilize iCloud Keychain on an iOS device. I have located an article that will walk you through a series of steps to ensure iCloud Keychain is activated:

    do I need to create another account with a different email account
    Yes, the email addresses need to be unique to each device. You may use the same Apple ID on each device, but the email address used by each device needs to be different.

  • HT5622 .mac mail - I still use my .mac email address to access itunes, icloud, etc. Every once in a while, apple sends me confirmation, reservation, etc. emails to the .mac address. Can someone tell me how to access that email account?

    Hi pjerl,
    Depending on when you originally set up your Apple ID, you may have @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com email addresses associated with your account, but all mail sent to those addresses should still come in to the same iCloud account (you can test this to make sure by sending yourself emails at those addresses). You may find the following articles helpful:

    How can I use find a phone with my family's iphone when they already have email addresses?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't use find my phone from your phone if your other family members use another iCloud account.
    You have two options depending on why you want to find the phones.
    Use find my phone at iCloud.com on a mac/PC and log in using their account.
    Use the find my friends app

  • How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac?

    How do I use my gigaware webcam with my mac? I just bought this webcam on amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJE0ISS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF 8&psc=1 and I want to use it with my mac. Is there an adapter or any software to make it compatible? Thanks.

    Your amazon link states, in part, that this webcam is:
    Compatible with Microsoft Windows 7,Vista, XP, 2000
    Use a Mac OS X Compatible Webcam like one of those shown in the linked article instead.
    For best compatibility and security, also update your OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) to the current OS X version by restarting Mac and then downloading and installing OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).

    How do I use a previous email address with my printer?  I reset my printer and want to use the same email address as before.Thanks

    At this time the printer's email address will not be available for for re-use for 6 months. This is a security measure once an email has been disabled. After that time, one can go into their account and then change the customized email address for the printer.

  • Updated my AppleID account info.  Under password security shows an email address to be used to receive email with new password settings.  I need to update that email address, how do I do that?  Thanks!

    Updated my AppleID account info.  Under password security shows an email address to be used to receive email with new password settings.  I need to update that email address, how do I do that?  Thanks!

    Thanks for the help Niel.  I couldn't change the rescue email address (an address that no longer exists and is therefore useless) until I could correctly answer the security questions.  After numerous guesses, finally got them right.  Was then presented with the option to change the rescue email address. Guess the only other option was to have Apple Support make the change or reset my account info.  Have made note of the correct answers so this won't happen again.   Thanks for the fast response!!

  • I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor.  It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors.  Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

    I have a newer MacBook Pro with an AMD processor.  It is my understanding that Parallels can only be used on Mac's with Intel Processors.  Is that true and if so does anyone have recommendations about how to have a windows side to my Mac

    Then it either is a pirate clone or you are misinformed.
    Apple Computer has never used AMD processors in its products.
    However, the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a Radeon unit, which is an AMD subsidiary. Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox will all work fine with the Intel Core i7 or i5 CPU that powers the Mac, and use the AMD Radeon GPU that drives the displays.

  • How do i use my apple id with ichat?

    how do i use my apple id with ichat?

    Hi,
    Only @Mac.com and MobileMe Apple IDs are valid AIM names as well  (And the Passwords need to be 16 characters of Less - AIM end Issue).
    If you have any other form of Apple ID then you will need to register for either an @mac.com name  or create an AIM one.
    NOTE The @Mac.com Registration requires you link an active Email to the @Mac.com name.
    THIS CANNOT BE an Email address you have used for an Apple ID already.
    The AIM Registration asks for Email address for Security and Password Recovery and is not Hard Linked in the same way (you could use the same email to set up multiple accounts/Screen Names)
    To state things another way:-
    A MobileMe ID is an Email address.
    It is an Apple ID and will work in those places it is supposed to, iTunes, Apple Support Communities (with Alias set up), Face Time (With Registration) Apple On-Line Store, Mac App Store.
    It is a Vlaid AIM NAme as well (If the password is kept to 16 characters or less).
    @mac.com names are Apple IDs with the same access as above.
    It is a Valid AIM Screen Name.
    If it was registered before MobileMe started it maybe linked to a Current MobileMe account as a valid Email.
    A Current Registration is purposely for iChat use and Requires a Non Apple current Email that is NOT linked to any other Apple ID
    Any other name or Email used to create an Apple ID is not an Email with/through Apple.
    It is NOT a valid AIM screen Name.
    It is only an Apple ID that allows access to the places listed above.
    If it is an email this cannot be used to Register with @mac.com
    I hope this is clear.
