How to convert a new Apple ID into a iCloud email alias?

Howdy,
Just a few weeks ago, I created a second MobleMe accout for my daugher via my MobleMe family plan. The reason was that her orignal MobleMe email ([email protected]) address seemed a bit childish to her and she wanted a new "more professional" sounding address. At first I tried to create an email alias, but discovered that new alias creation had been stopped due to the looming iCloud launch, so I used one of my unused family plan accounts to create "[email protected]." Took some fooling around to get mail on her macbook to send & receive from both... but it worked and I was once again, the family IT hero!
Okay, now that iCloud has launched, and we are converting over to iCloud I wondered what to do about my daughters two email addresses. I looked around for information about just converting both xxxx & yyyy to iCloud, so my daughter could receive both emails from the same iMac mail account... but I can find nothing about that option on the inter tubes so I figured that option was unsupported.
Next I wondered if email aliases had come back, and they have! Cool, just convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]... but alias, you can't delete an Apple ID and I assume that I won't be able to create [email protected] as an alias as it is it's one Apple ID (otherwise, there would be a really big security hole in iCloud email ;).
What to do? Well, I can think of the following options, in order of what would be most user friendly to my daughter:
1. Convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]. This would be nice because I could simplify my daughters email set up (just one account, not two). Trouble is, I don't know how to do this and/or it just can't be done.
2. Create a new alias for [email protected]; [email protected]. Kind of junky as "yyyy" is pretty obvious (if you knew what it was), and [email protected] is already "out there."
3. Create two accounts on my daughters macbook; one for [email protected] and the other for [email protected]. This ***** because she'd have to logout/login to check mail on both accounts.
So... their must be a simpler way, right Apple? If so, please advise!

  • How can I change an Apple ID to an iCloud email?

    I set up an apple ID years ago and have used it to buy a lot of stuff. I know you can't merge apple IDs, but it occurred to me that my current problem (having to do with getting family sharing set up) could be solved if I could CHANGE my old apple ID (currently just "smithjohn") to an iCloud email. Is that possible? I can't seem to do it using the manage my apple ID page. Thanks for any help.
    < Personal Information Edited By Host >

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. (I realise it may be an example, not the real thing, but to be on the safe side I reported it. Your point is clear without it.)
    You can't change your ID to your iCloud email address. What you can do is to change your ID to a non-Apple email address at http://appleid.apple.com - certainly your ID needs to take the form of an email address, the old non-address IDs aren't acceptable for some facilities.

    If you are going to change your AppleID login you will need to log out and back in on all your devices. Turn off 'Find My iPhone/iMac/iPod' first or you will find yourself unable to sign out and be stuck.

  • [Oracle 8i] How to convert a string (time stamp) into a date?

    I'm having difficulty figuring out how to convert a time stamp string into a date (or possibly a number).
    The time stamp is 20 positions, character (NOT NULL, CHAR(20))
    in the format: YYYYMMDDHHMMSSUUUUUU
    where Y = Year, M = Month, D = Day, M = Minutes, S = Seconds, and U = Microseconds
    The reason I want to convert this is so that I can compare one time stamp to another (i.e. I want to be able to find the MIN(timestamp), MAX(timestamp), and do inequality comparisons).
    Is this at all possible?
    Thanks in advance for help on this!

    Hi,
    As Damorgan said, if all you want to do is find which is the earliest or latest, then you can just compare the strings: they happen to be in a format where that works.
    If you need to do other things, such as compare them to today's date, or see the difference between two of your rows in days, then you have to convert them to DATEs. (There's no point in converting them to NUMBERs).
    A new data type, TIMESTAMP, which handles fractions of a second, was introduced in Oracle 9.
    Since you're using Oracle 8 (according to your subject line), you either have to
    (1) ignore the microseconds, or
    (2) use a separate NUMBER column for the microseconds.
    Either way, use TO_DATE to convert the first 14 characters to a DATE:
    TO_DATE ( SUBSTR (txt, 1, 14)
            , 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS'
            )where txt is your CHAR column.
    To convert the microseconds to a number (between 0 and 999999):
    TO_NUMBER (SUBSTR (txt, 15))

  • How to convert FLAC to Apple Lossless

    how to convert FLAC to Apple Lossless

    Handbrake really is only for converting video and the audio attached to that video. With that said, there are many efficient ways to do this, personally, I am perfectly content just converting the file into a .wav files (it has the same 1411kbps), however you will have to re-tag everything. If you don't want to re-tag everything you can aslo just convert to .alac using Foobar2000 (Windows).
    Also, if the reason that you don't want to keep it as a .flac files is because your iPod doesn't support it, if it is a Classic, then you can just install Rockbox and it supports .flac natively.

  • Hi, can anyone guide me how to convert Freehand MX for PC into Mac Version?

    Hi, can anyone guide me how to convert Freehand MX for PC into Mac Version?

    You can upgrade to Mavericks free, just run the App Store program and search for Mavericks. But before you do upgrade I recommend the following:
    1) make sure you have a recent backup. TimeMachine is fine.
    2) Mavericks is somewhat more memory hungry than 10.7 was. You will need 4 GB of RAM and I strongly recommend 8 GB.
    Go back to the Apple menu and select About this Mac - look under the OS info you just looked at. You'll see how much RAM your computer has now. Then click on the More Info button. There you will see your computer info listed as in: iMac, 21.5" mid 2010, for example. Return back with that information and we can tell you how far the computer can be upgraded.
    If you decide to procede and you have enough RAM upgrading to Mavericks is quite simple. Click on the download button and let it do its job.

  • How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file.

    How to convert Oracle reports previewer output into delimited file if the report has more than 1000 pages.
    I tried with previewer option File --> Generate to file --> Delimited file, but the report engine is crashing.Not generating .TXT file.
    I observed that this option is not working for more than 400 pages.
    I am using Oracle reports 6i version.
    Plz suggest me to generate .TXT file from Report previewer.

    You can specify a delimiter (a character or string of characters) to separate the data (boilerplate or field objects) in your report output in either of the following ways:
    On the command line using the DELIMITER keyword.
    In the Delimited Output dialog box or DelimitedData Output dialog box (displayed with File > Generate to File > Delimited or File > Generate to File > DelimitedData) in Reports Builder.

  • How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail

    How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail?
    My computer is Windows 7 and my Itunes software version is 1.0.2
    Many thanks in advance...

    iTunes 1.0.2 is +at least+ eight years old.
    The current version is 9.2, and it's free.
    If that was a typo, and you're using something more current:
    In the iTunes preferences, change the import settings to mp3.
    Then select the songs you wish to convert.
    From the "Advanced" menu, choose "Create mp3 version".
    When done, change the import settings back to Apple Lossless.
    That's it.
    BTW, this is the Logic Pro forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes.
