How to remove an iCloud email address from an iPad

Not sure if this should be here or posted in the iCloud area, but will try here first.  I used to have an @me.com address (after the .mac one went away) and now I have the same address, but @icloud.com.  When I tap on the "From:" field when composing a message on my iPad, I get the option of using my primary Gmail account, my @icloud.com account, or my @me.com account.  I would like to not see the @me.com account be an option as I'm never going to use it.  How can I remove that and have the available options include only the @icloud.com account from iCloud?

I don't believe you can.  The @icloud address was added as an alias to your @me address, which will remain intact.  Messages sent to either address arrive in the same inbox and I don't believe you can delete the @me option.  You can, however, choose @icloud as your default rather than @me, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441.

    The ONLY way, currently, to remove this data from an iOS device is to restore the device as "new" in iTunes, NOT from backup. This will, of course, erase all data on the device, including this contact data. You either do that, or you live with it.

    Hello susandron
    Check out the article below to troubleshoot your issue with that email account. If it is iCloud, you can go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select the mail account and toggle off Mail or delete.

  • How do I remove incorrectly entered email addresses from my iPad emails

    If an incorrect email address is entered into the address bar it is repeated over & over & often results in non delivery. How do I remove these addresses that do not appear in my contacts.
    Thanks

    As far as I know - you can't remove them in the mail app. The mail app inssists on remembering them. You just have to ignore them and eventually they are supposed to move to the bottom of the suggested email list.

  • How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?

    How to remove the old email address that was hacked from my iCloud account when iCloud won't let me?
    Pretty much the the email that I used (but didn't verify) to create my iCloud account was hacked and now I can't remove it from my iCloud account due to the iCloud password also being changed by the same person and the fact I had "Find my iPhone" app on my phone also??? I had to change my iTunes email as well but that was far easier so yeah :S.
    Please help. I live in NZ, out in the country, so reception is rare and so is getting into the nearest town that has an Apple Store.
    Thanks

    If you truly change your existing Apple ID's email address to a new email address, follow these instructions: iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    If you created a whole new Apple Account because you couldn't access the old one after being hacked, you will need to contact the Apple Account Security Team. Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

    My icloud is showing a very old email address,while myitunes / appstore email is showing the new email address? How do i remove the old email address from icloud?

    Welcome to the Apple community mohinderjeet.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
    This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

  • How can I remove an icloud email address if i have forgotten the password?

    How can I remove an ICloud email address that's on my IPhone if I have forgotten the password?  I have tried to reset the password through Apple ID but I no longer have access to the email address and its not recognising my birthday

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    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.
    More information on aliases here:

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

    Hi sparkie,
    You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
    Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

    How do I remove an old email address from my apple ID account?

    Depending upon the address (some Apple addresses can't be removed) then you may be able to remove it by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' link on http://appleid.apple.com

  • HT201342 I would like to transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to a different apple id.  Is this possible?

    How can I transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to another apple id?

    It isn't possible.  If you need to use a different iCloud account with a different ID as your primary iCloud account, you can still set up your other iCloud address as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with your ID and turning Mail to on.  It will be fetch rather than push email, however, as push is only supported in the primary account.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

    how can I add multiple email addresses  from spreadsheet into email?

    I have tried that, but the system reads the emails as one long email and I can't find any way of separating them - it ignores spaces, colons and I have also tried putting them through a word doc... still does not work. It works perfectly easily on a PC system!! ( I have just moved to a mac!)
    any ideas would be good
    thanks

  • How do I copy multiple email addresses from one email sent TO me into a new message?

    How do I copy multiple email addresses from an email sent to me into a new message?

    Are they in the body of the mail?
    Hold your finger down in that mail until the little blue bubble pops up. One of the options should be to select all. Choose that and all will be hilighted. then a pop up comes up to copy, choose that, open your destination and hold your finger down to get the paste dialogue.
