How to have iCloud alias as default ios7 mail id

I have aliases set up with my iCloud email account. With iOS7 is there any way to have the outgoing email id DEFAULT to one of the aliases, rather than the main ID?
I know I can choose an alias in the FROM section, but I would like to have it default to one of them...
Any ideas?
Thanks.

What do you mean it won't be push?? I just did the workaround and it seems to be pushing to my device. Maybe I don't understand what push is because I can do all that I was able to do when I was going directly through the icloud email account.
You likely have a Fetch interval enabled as well (Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data). So you're seeing your new mail, but it is being fetched instead of pushed. If you set the Fetch interval to Manually, you won't receive any email until you actually view your Inbox.

You need to enter your main account identity in the IMAP and SMTP server settings. Using an alias in those fields will result in the error you're getting.

  • Change iCloud alias to main e-mail and main e-mail to an alias

    Is it possible to change and iCloud alias to your 'main' e-mailaddress and move your current 'main e-mailaddress' to the alias? PS: this is not Apple ID related.
    As an example I have 1 main e-mail address chosen when I setup iCloud, but I would like to use one of my 2 aliasses as 'main e-mail' and move the originally chosen e-mail address to the alias position.
    Thank you.

    Julian,
    I've got a .me account, which is also now an iCloud account (I have two of these).
    I've created three iCloud aliases for this account, and I now want to change one of them.
    I can change the alias Full Name, but, although I can select the Alias Address, I can't change it.
    Any ideas how to do this would be helpful.
    Regards

  • How do you I change the default e-mail address within a contact in Address Book

    My v-card (My Card) information has 3 e-mail addresses.  My work e-mail address is the default used whenever I use autofill on a web page.  I am trying to change the default e-mail within my contact to my home e-mail address but there is no information that I can find to do this.

    Understand.  I am in the edit mode for my contact.  I see all the contact info.  There is no right click or other means to change the DEFAULT address that autofill uses (it also is first to appear if I type my name in an e-mail). For instance for a group e-mail you can change the default addresses of each contact by control-clicking on the group in Address Book. I can't seem to make the default change in my v-card.

  • Master/detail layout - how to have 'detail' hidden by default.

    The 'master/detail layout' option for spry datasets are great but how can I get the page to load with all the 'details' hidden until the user selects from the 'Master' column to reveal the details?

    Hiya,
    Don't know whether you are still looking for a solution, but if you are, please take a look at:
    "Using URL Parameters to Control Data Regions"
    I used the info there to create a Master/Detail page at
    http://www.myosanthe-bernhard-huber.com/html/fotobergtraining.php
    (which calls its data from an HTML DataSet)
    The detail region is empty when the page first loads because I've used SpryURLUtils to 'listen' for a url parameter so that I can load a specific row's content from an external link (eg http://www.myosanthe-bernhard-huber.com/html/fotoalbum.php which is also made from the the same dataset).
    A side result is that If the parameter isn't included in the url when the page loads, the detail region remains empty.
    The relevant code from the <head> of the page is:
    <script src="/SpryAssets/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="/SpryAssets/SpryHTMLDataSet.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="/SpryAssets/SpryURLUtils.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="/SpryAssets/SpryMasterDetail_foto.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    var dsTrain = new Spry.Data.HTMLDataSet("/html/fotos/fotodata.htm", "TrainData", {sortOnLoad: "Nr", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending"});
       //Get the URL parameter for the row number
    var params = Spry.Utils.getLocationParamsAsObject();
       //Set an observer so that when the data is loaded, we update the current row to the url param value
    dsTrain.addObserver({ onPostLoad: function(ds, type) {
    dsTrain.setCurrentRow(params.row); }
    //-->
    </script>
    This may not be the best or easiest way (I'm a beginner myself), and I haven't yet worked out how to move back to the top of the page when a master-link is clicked, but this may be useful for you.
    Best regards,
    Len

  • Music videos; how far have you increased the default volume?

    I'm sure you've all noticed that when listening to music videos through the regular playlist (ie: not via videos list) the quality of the sound is rather poor in comparison to regular music.
    I've done a "Get Info" on each of my music videos (purchased through iTunes) and boosted the sound up 2 notches, however I still find they are comparably quieter than the other music.
    How far should I go before the sound quality might become distorted?

    Thanks for the fast, technically astute reply! Very reassuring - and truly appreciated!!
    Best regards,

  • Do you know to how update my iCloud ID to match my Apple ID if I don't know the password and I don't have access to the old e-mail address?

    Hi Guys,
    Do you know to how update my iCloud ID to match my Apple ID if I don't know the password  for the old ID and I don't have access to the old e-mail address?

    Hi Guys,
    I've sorted it  
    All I needed to do was add my old e-mail address - not as the primary but as an alias. This allowed me to delete the account on my iPhone 4S and re-sign in with the correct e-mail address.
    Happy now

    Open contacts on your phone and check your groups.  Do your contacts belong to any non-iCloud groups such as On My iPhone, a Gmail, Yahoo or Exchange account, or anything else?  Also check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  What is selected as your default account?

  • I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode. And i can't restore because my "find my ipod" is on. But i also can't do anything because i don't have an icloud for this device. What can i do?!!

    I have an ipad with the ios7 update, but I forgot my restrictions passcode.And when I go and click restore I can't restore because the "findmyiphone" is on and I can't do anything about it since i can't get in my ipad. I can't do anything on icloud.com either because I did not put my device on there. What can I do??

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I have iphone5 and updated to ios7 but few contacts are getting deleted..how to fix this?

    i have iphone5 and updated to ios7 but few contacts are getting deleted..how to fix this?

    So, you do not see any fonts bold that shouldn't be bold?
    What are your current default font settings?
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
    It is better not to increase the minimum font size in case you need a larger font, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

  • I want to update my ios in ipad 2, message tells me to back up or lose. I don't have icloud and I can't get it without the newer version of ios. How can I backup without icloud?

    I want to update from ios 4.3 on my ipad 2. When I connect to itunes(newest version is installed) on pc, and attempt the update, I get a message to backup , or l will lose items purchased on the ipad. I don't have icloud yet, because when I try to add it to my ipad, I am told I need the newest version of ios. So it's a vicious cycle! I tried to buy itunes match, and I wasn't able to do that either! I have downloaded books, and songs on ipod that aren't able to be in my itunes library from CDs. What should I do and in which order, to protect my stuff from getting lost with the update?

    Backup with iTunes. If iTunes is asking you if you want to backup, say yes to that and it will backup your iPad. Have you ever synced with this computer before?
    My boilerplate response for anyone that wants to update the iOS.
    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings - along with other items - so make sure you backup first.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.

  • I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I click on "show original" all my external H D 's and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this icon from the trash without loosing all my files?

    I have an alias of one of my external hard drives in my trash. When I tried to delete it, it showed that I was deleting 80,000 files and counting. I stopped the delete process and when I clicked on "show original" all my external H.D.'s and my Mac hard drive show up. How do I delete this alias from the trash without loosing all my files? When I tried to drag it back to the desk top, it just made a duplicate and remained in the trash. When I turned off the external H.D., the trash was then empty. Tried rebooting the computer and then turning the external hard drive back on and the alias shows up in the trash again. Much help appreciated.
    Rich

    In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
    Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
    Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
    If it does contain data...

  • I have icloud and downloaded new CDs on my 2nd computer.  How do I download the new music into my old computers itunes.

    I have icloud and downloaded new CDs on my 2nd computer.  How do I download the new music into my old computers iTunes using icloud.

    For your computer first get iTunes to see it by:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    - The transfer iTunes purchases
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Or redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    newer copy
    - Connect the iPod to your compute and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
