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.

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
Kelvin

HT5312 how do i make a new rescue email for my Current apple id because i lost the other email rescue account.

how do i make a new rescue email on my apple id so i can change my stupid apple security qusetions.

If you don't have a rescue email address, or don't have access to your current one, then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

When they've been resetyou can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to update/add a rescue email address for potential future use

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address). First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
address is not available email which will be associated to you Apple Id
You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address. What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be?
I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too!

How do I make my new gmail email address the default when I click on "Contact us" in a site in Firefox? Thanks.

When I click on a website's "contact us" button while in Firefox, I get my old email address in my old email provider, which means that new emails in the old inbox have to be loaded first , taking a lot of time. I want to keep my old email provider for the time being as not everyone has my new addy and the old forwards to the new addy. I have Micresoft XP. How do I make my new address the default?

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 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.
Create iTunes Store account without credit card - Support - Apple
2. This might help with the iCloud account. It is really quite simple.

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 you make a new icloud without losing data?

Hello,
My little brother had gotten an ipad for his birthday one year. Since I was the only at the time who had an icloud account, I thought I'd make it easier for him (as he was 8 at the time) and connect my icloud account, to his ipad. However, over time, obviously apps and pictures have accumulated and my icloud account is extremely full, especially as it is linked to my iphone as well. Now, I was wondering whether there is any way of me being able to create him his own icloud, and transfer his photo stream and apps to it. I know I can go to delete account, but would that delete everything on his ipad?
Please help me!!

Migrating to a new account will only delete photo stream photos, not camera roll photos. To avoid this, save them to the camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll, before deleting the existing account from your phone. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on a separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com from a computer and delete the other person's data from your account.
Getting each other's text messages is caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this, the person with the new iCloud account should go to Settings>Messages<Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with their new iCloud ID. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
