HT201342 does the icloud addres become my apple ID as well

Apple have emailed me to say I can now use @icloud.com email address instead of my @me.com email address.  It has also appeared on my mac and iphone as an optional email address which I can set as default if I wanted to.  My @me.com email address is currently my apple ID as well for icloud etc and I wondered if I swap to @icloud.com email address do I have to use this for my icloud and apple ID as well and if so will it have all the same information etc in there i.e the contacts, diary and email etc?  Plus will my purchases all be there as if I was still using my @me.com email address?

You can use either your @me.com or @icloud.com address. They are interchangeable. Anywhere you can log in with your @me.com address you can now login with your @icloud.com address.
You are not swapping from @me.com to @icloud.com. It is still the same account, with all the same info and purchases. It is simply an additional email address you can use in addition to your existing @me.com address, if you want to.

  • If I press "Erase all contents and settings" does the iCloud account get removed from the iPhone?

    If I press "Erase all contents and settings" does the iCloud account get removed from the iPhone?
    I also do not know the password to the iCloud account and when I go to the "Forgotten Password" link, it says that account is not found.

    Yes, but you will not be able to erase it without the password if Find My iPhone is turned on.  If you need to reset your iCloud password, read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.  Of course, you can't reset the password unless it is your iCloud ID.

  • There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

  • Can things in the icloud be shared between apple id accounts?

    I would like to add my iphone and my wifes iphone to icloud.  If we each have our own apple id, will we be able to share our photos
    between accounts, or would it be better to have one apple id and place both of our devices under the one account?  If we do this, is it possible to keep things like contacts separate, or will they be merged on both devices.
    Basically, how can I utilize the icloud to share some stuff and also keep other stuff separate or individualized.
    Thanks,
    John Post

    I might be very ignorant on this but I think you can not share some things only within the same apple ID account in multiple devices.
    In address book you can try to create groups, one for each user - but you both are still sharing all contacts anyway...
    I also don't think you can share info from the iCloud from two different apple ID's.

  • My external HD of 1TB is not being recognized by the iMac and when after a long waiting period it does, the whole computer becomes extremely slow. Do I need any particular add-on to make it workable?

    My external HD of 1TB is not being recognized by the iMac and when after a long waiting period it does, the whole computer becomes extremely slow. Do I need any particular add-on to make it workable?
    Before I updated to OS X Mavericks I was using another external disk that was getting disconnected ocasionally so I bought a new ADATA HD710 portable 1TB Drive and moved the files to it. This new drive which is supposed to be OS X Mavericks compatible takes minutes to show the files especially when opening second and third level folders which has made mu iMac unusable
    What should I do?

    Your Mac should be able to recognize many different types of drives (including Windows-formatted drives) immediately for Reading, provided they are in good working condition and not damaged. There should be no need to transfer to a different type of drive.
    If there is no recognition of this drive, see if it can be seen in Disk Utility.
    If your aim is to transfer the data on it DO NOT use ERASE or PARTITION as these will completely erase all the information on the Drive.
    If the drive is present while the Mac sleeps, it is likely to drop out and not be seen any longer, especially if it is a USB-powered drive.

  • Why does the hdmi adapter(purchased from apple for $40) no longer mirror my iPad 2?

    Why does the hdmi adapter(purchased form Apple for $40) no longer mirror my ipad 2?  If ios6 prevents this, will they return my money?

    Does this involve iPhoto in any way? I believe you need to post in a different forum - and since these are strictly uuser to user forums answers about what Apple does or will do are not likely nor reliaible - you need to contact Apple for Apple answers

  • Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick?

    Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick? I have to Relaunch the Finder to get it working again.
    Background / other symptoms:
    The Flash drive in question has been formatted HFS.
    I get no error messages, including on the Console, and no sound indicators.
    I can copy files, using the Finder, from a hard-drive to the usb flash drive with no problem.
    Finder copying on this stick works just fine on my other Mac.
    I can move files within another (FAT32-formatted) USB flash drive.
    The quirky USB HFS Flash drive works fine on my other Mac.
    Outside of the Finder, I can use mv just fine to move the files on the HFS flash drive.
    If the HFS-formatted Flash drive were faulty, I would at least expect some sort of error in the Console app, but perhaps not from the Finder.

  • Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?"

    I've just successfully installed the iCloud Control Panel on my PC (runs with Vista). Why does the iCloud Control Panel say "Install Outlook to use Mail, Contacts, and Calendars?" The Bookmarks (with Safari) and Photo Stream options are active, but the Mail (with Outlook), Contacts (with Outlook),and Calendars and Tasks (with Outlook) are not. I'm using Office Outlook 2007. I used to be able to synch my iPhone with my PC's Outlook through iTunes without any problems. Any help would be appreciated.

    I meant to say when in the control panel!

  • Does the Professional Edition require an Apple Computer to Publish?

    Does the Professional Edition require an Apple Computer to Publish like the Single Edition does? Are there other restrictions that I may not be aware of if I go the PC route?
    I can' seem to find that information.

    OK.... So, do you need to have an app built if you go with the Professional Edition? At first I thought yes, but now I am realizing that with the Professional Edition, don't you get set up in the Newstand Store... which does or does not need an app??? And then what about the Kindle Fire and Android platforms... Do I have to manage all of those relationships myself or is that part of the professional package...
    Again... if there is particular literature I need to look at... Please point me there.

  • Does the iCloud store my 10,000 photos

    Does the ICloud store all the data on my computer, my 10,000 photos and 18,000 itune songs?

    No.  It's only for storing data from mobile devices.  The following is from this document: Cloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    What iCloud backs up
    You have important information on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it’s turned on, locked, and connected to a power source. With your device information backed up in iCloud, you can easily set up a new device or restore information on one you already have.
    Here’s what iCloud backs up:
    Purchased history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and booksYour iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Automatic downloading is based on iTunes in the Cloud availability by country, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.
    Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
    Device settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemail
    Your iOS device backup only includes data and settings stored on your device. It doesn't include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo streams, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.

    Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
    What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

  • Why does the icloud syncing not work with iWork?

    I'm getting quite fed up with trying to get this to work. Tried altering all the toggles in the icloud preference on my idevices, nothing makes a difference. I've also deleted files in the hidden library folder on my macs. Didn't make a difference.
    How do i fix this? I have searched all the forums on the web now and nothing makes it work. Does anyone here have a magic solution?

    No, i know the desktop version isn't fully compatible yet. I thought it was obvious it was for the iOS I was using. Sorry about the misunderstanding, should've explained myself better.
    It doesn't work to upload documents from my desktop to iCloud.com either.. It's a real bummer. I'm rather disappointed with apple over this. With Steve's presentation in June I was really enthusiastic about it and now this. Why can't one just be able to sync properly with Dropbox within pages, without the doubling of files that WebDAV gives you.
