Hello, I have an Apple-iCloud account and have used one e-Mail address. I would like to add another address for my wife on same account. How do I do it?

Hey there Raul,
It sounds like you have an iCloud account, and want to create one for your wife using the same iCloud account. You can do this with an iCloud Alias, and this article will help you do that. Keep in mind that any and all purchases made with the alias will not be transferrable or merged with another account if she wants to have her own account down the road.

  • Someone is using my e-mail address for Apple ID

    Hello
    I have an e-mail address that I do not use to any Apple devices.
    For about 1 week ago I received a mail in Italian saying this:
    Dear G******* M******,
    You entered gio**** @gmail.com as primary email address for your Apple ID. To complete the task, we have to verify that email address actually belongs to you. Click on the link below and sign into your account using your Apple ID and password.
    Check now>
    Why did you received this email?
    This email is sent when someone adds or changes a contact email address in your Apple. If you have not made any changes do not worry. Your email address can not be used as a contact address for an Apple ID without your verification.
    For more information, see the frequently asked questions .
    Thank you,
    Apple Customer Care
    so the problem is that I'm in Greece and someone has put my e-mail address for their Apple ID in Italy...
    What can I do?
    The problem is that I ignored the e-mail thinkink that if I don't click the verification button noting will happen but instead today I received more than 10 e-mails saying the same thing...
    What can I do to prevent these e-mails? and to make the person who is using my e-mail to change it?
    Thank you in advance

    I think you misunderstood me. I don't want an account. I only created one to write here. What I need is for itunes to contact this user and ask him to change his account. I can't believe how it's possible for someone to use my email as his.
    I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I have this mail adress for 12 years and never had something like this before.

    If my husband add a new iCloud account to his iPhone 5, will he be "locked out" because he's using a new Apple ID to do it? Does he have to use a new Apple ID to create a new iCloud account? He set up his phone using my Apple ID because we didn't know any better. Now we want to separate calendars/contacts, but are afraid of the 90-day lockout.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can change the Apple ID without any problem. On his device, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete account and login with his Apple ID so he'll get his information. iCloud needs an Apple ID, so if he hasn't got one, he must create an Apple ID > http://appleid.apple.com
    When you delete the iCloud account, all the information will be deleted, so I recommend you to turn off each service before deleting iCloud

  • Can I have more than one e-mail address attached to my apple account?

    I can't seem to create different FaceTime accounts using different e-mail addresses but with 1 Apple account. My daughter's IPod is attached to my Apple account, but I want to use her e-mail address for her FaceTime app. Any thoughts?

    You create an @icloud.com address in the first place by signing into Settings>iCloud with your Apple ID and choosing an addres - you can only create an @icloud.com address, not @me.com.
    Then if you want further addresses on the same account 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.

    I own a MacBook Pro laptop, an iPhone5 and an iPad mini with an itunes and apple account.  I just purchased another iphone5 for my wife.  What is the best way to sync and share iTunes music, iCal dates on her phone and my computer and devices? We don't need to sync and share contacts.

  • I have one e-mail address that constantly hard bounces

    I have one e-mail address for a client that constantly returns an error of
    "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <[email protected]> previously hard-bounced. Please check the message recipient "clients email address" and try again"
    I also look after the mail server for this user name and I have tried deleting the account and re entering but it makes no difference. Other e-mail clients donut seem to have this problem.
    Any ideas?
    g

    A soft bounce may mean that the mailbox if full., but a 550 error har bounce code sent from the server usually describes when the email address does not exist or is otherwise permanently not available.
    Perhaps due to a typo in the email address or that email address is no longer valid.
    Or maybe there have been several soft bounces that converted to a hard bounce.
    Could the server be blocking the sender email address (possibly as part of a spam defence system), so the email is not delivered to recipient if sent from that particular email address.

    The iPhone has Activation Lock and will require you to have the previous owner's Apple ID and password or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. Return the iPhone for a refund if you can.
    Regards.

  • TS3992 Altho' my 4S iPhone is connected to Wi-fi & I have a correct Apple/icloud ID and password, I keep getting the message "icloud backup Failed. Turn off airplane mode, or use Wi-Fi to enable iCloud backup." Should I delete my account,setting up a new

    I cannot activate my iCloud backup of my 4S iPhone, even though I have definitely deactivated Airplane mode, and am connected to Wi-Fi.  I also have a correct Apple/iCloud ID and password. 
    Should I delete my iCloud account and set up a new one??
    Please give me some assistance with this problem!
    Sincerely, Brianrit

    To unfreeze it, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    To troubleshoot your problem with backing up to iCloud, this may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your iPad that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
    If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me.  We both have the same e-mail address.  The message I get when I try to set my new one up is that the Apple ID is already in use.  How do I set up with our shared e-mail account

    My husband has an iPad and I just got one for me.  We both have the same e-mail address.  The message I get when I try to initiate setup is that the Apple ID is already in use.  Any ideas on how to complete the setup of the new iPad since we both share the e-mail account?

    If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
    You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

  • Can you have different accounts (meaning different passwords, different countries/store) with the same apple ID (only one e-mail address)?

    thank you for your reply, it is not very fair from apple, since for not using your credit card, you need to create a new account and if you do not have multiple e-mail  working , you are stuck! thanks anyway

  • I have changed my e-mail address on the apple ID website and have been able to change it for ICloud.  My e-mail address (ID) has not changed for I-tunes and therefore, I can't install updates. ??

    If this is on your computer's iTunes then log out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If on an iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

  • Apple iCloud account

    Good evening,
    since 2 weeks ago I've not had the possibility to log-in into my Apple iCloud account. I thougth I've forgotten my password, but it isn't because the password I entered works. So when I try to log-in to iCloud from the official site, it appears a message which says: your iCloud account was disabled for security, restore your password using iForgot. So I can imagine that the password is correct becouse for some services on my iPhone the password works. The problem is that when I try to restore my password using iForgot, the eMail isn't sent in no other mine eMail adress and i coudln't remember the answer to the security question. I don't know how to do. Waiting for the community support, thank you.

    Call AppleCare and try to get in contact with Account Security. 1-800-275-2273
    You'll need to verify your information, but they can help you out with that.
