HT201342 I still have the question, "When would I use this new iCloud e-mail account?"

What do I do with this new iCloud e-mail address?  What is it for?  How does it benefit me?  When would I choose to use this new iCloud e-mail address? 

Whenever you want to use it, or not, it's your choice.

  • HT201342 This site doesn't seem to answer a basic question of "why should I open this new iCloud e-mail account?" What do I do with it?

    Why should I open this new e-mail account?  What does it do or me? Under what circumstance would I use this new identity?

    There's no reason to if you don't want to use it.  Apple is no longer issuing @me email addresses, and has moved to @icloud adresses.  They are just adding the @icloud address to your existing iCloud account so you'll have one in case you want to use it.  Email sent to either your @me or @icloud email address is routed to the same iCloud mail inbox.

    i just installed yosemite on my mcb pro mid 2012 with a clean install. so i only had the new os x yosemite running on my mac. everything went perfect. than i installed win8.1 with the bootcamp assistant and also everything went perfect.
    But here's the Problem:
    When i'm using Windows 8.1 and i go to the "Computer" window where i can find my hdd partition "Bootcamp (c;) there is only this Partition. the mac Partition is missing.
    so i am not able to read the files on my mac Partition.

  • I'm thinking of backing up my ipod and then reseting it, but theres a really interesting game I have been plaing in it for a long time, If I backup my device then reset it then send the backup back to my iPod, will I still have the game data?

    I'm really afraid of tring to do this since i spent $20 dollars on game updates. So if I backup my ipod then reset it then send the backup back, will I still have the appdata? (By refering to this I don't mean the app itself, but the stuff inside the app) Thank you and I hope I get a quick answer.

    If you restore from backup your app date will also be restored to the time you made the backup. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup. If the apps are not in the iTunes library there is not place for the app data to go when you restore from backup.

  • Do new MBPs still have the keyboard "delay" problem?

    Since the MBP software update does not seem to have resolved the issue of the keyboard "skipping" or "delaying" letters as I write, I wonder if this problem has somehow been fixed in the newest MBPs. And if so, whether it's been determined that it is a logic board issue, in which case I may bring my MBP back for replacement.
    Thank you for your help!

    good question... searching these threads and on google will tell you all sorts of stories...
    a lot of people are convinced it is a hardware problem, which it could be, but I do not experience delays or intermittent issues and/or missing first letters all the time, particularly not in Windows Vista (which is unfortunately not a good sample enough to quantify, I rarely use Vista on my Mac).
    I have noticed no issues via my wireless bluetooth keyboard, mind you (perhaps a hint at the improper hardware under the laptop keyboard?).
    As some users have reported, having the keyboard replaced might changed the results, but it is a wild guess, since some still have the problem...
    Basically, this issue is far from resolved, is absolutely irritating, and has been known for a while. Another problem is that visiting an Apple Store may induce the humiliating experience of not being able to replicate the issue... I have brought mine in and some super nice Genius dude wrote about two paragraphs in TextEdit non-stop without even one single mishap... How embarrassing.
    He did believe me though, whilst he also claimed he had never heard about the issue. He offered to replace the keyboard in the laptop and the USB controller managing inputs and feedback from it, thinking like me that it could be anything between USB, keyboard, or the connections between them that might be faulty (an hypothesis raised many times over these discussion boards).
    I'm still unconvinced, and have not made a move. Mind you, I have a 3-years Apple Care coverage, and I could wait until three years from now if I wanted to, the way it works... This Mac I have is almost 3 months old, and I'm very sad I installed Leopard too, by the way. It is waaaaay slower than Tiger...
    Anyhow, I still wait on the software hypothesis, and hope for a patch... (one that works, that is, some other keyboard issues are "supposed" to have been fixed).
    Patience is a virtue, and I can't really lose my computer for any number of days, I need it every day for work and studies, and no, using another computer in the meantime is impossible (I have some hardware-locked data and programs that are more expensive than all the Macs I have owned together... And they are, hmm, involved in a sensitive sector of information...)

    You seems not to understand what I mean and what I'm having like problem. I still have my payment receipt  from October of this year when I bought 9 songs in the iTunes Store from my iPhone 4S. The problem is from all the 9 songs I've paid for, only 7 are still available from this list on my iPhone. There is no possibility to download the other 2 without paying for them. I've spoke to the lady from Mississippi on the phone 2 days ago from about 2 hours calling from Belgium but unfortunately she couldn't help me. It's the 3rd time I complain about this. How many time shall I pay for the same songs?? If you can access my music list and my past receipts payment you will be able to find out what I mean. I went back on iTunes I've found the the songs I already downloaded in October that should be on my playlist but if I click on them it will charge me again 0,99 cents. It's been 3 years I've been using the same apple ID with my iPhones. I just wand to get my songs back without having to pay them twice or 3 times

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my iPad but itunes does not.  I have deleted the itunes program, shut down my computer and restarted and then reinstalled itunes.  I still have the same problem.  Suggestions?

    I have a PC.  I would like to sync my iPad2 via itunes.  My computer recognizes my ipad but itunes does not.  I have uninstalled itunes, shut down the computer and restarted plus reinstalled itunes.  I visited the Apple store there is no problem with the iPad or the cord. I still have the same problem and am unable to sync when I plug in the iPad via the USB cord.  Does anyone have further suggestions? 

    Try going into the control panel, add/remove programs. Uninstall iTUnes, Apple mobile device service, apple application support. Then redownload and reinstall iTunes and see if it'll work
    If the computer sees your iPad you know the cable and connection is good, so the issue has to be software.

    Hi Prabhuram and falez,
    This issue appears where there are any inconsistencies in your catalog (generally for video files). This issue may be due to offline files, missing files, video scenes. The recommendation here would be to fix these inconsistencies and try again. If that doesn't solve the issue, please follow steps mentioned in email by me.

    When using Firefox I cannot signin to sites, but can get to sites with tabs on toolbar but cannot signout whe signin, I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it but still have the same problem.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • I am using referenced images, saved on an external hard drive. It would be most helpful to transfer the new captions (version name) to the referenced images which still have the camera code on them. How can this be done? Thanks so much!

    You're question is hard to follow. Are you looking to rename your master files to the version name? Or are you looking to do something with IPTC caption field and the masters?

  • When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen

    When you delete an app from your homescreen it is still in the cloud, does that mean you still have the app, and how do you get it back on to the home screen. new to ipad so do not know much. Anybody know.p

    As long as the app remains in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or via the Purchased Link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    Similarly ibooks can be re-downloaded, and depending upon what country that you are in then music, films and tv shows may also be re-downloadable (if they remain available in the store).

  • HT201413 I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again?

    I have restored and updated my ipod from recovery mode, however I still have the usb cord and itunes icon on the ipod when it is switched on. How can I get my ipod to work again? I have updated and restored 5 times! When connected to itunes it only shows the summary page saying ipod in recovery mode.

    Fixed it!
    1. Made sure itunes software was up to date
    2. Pressed and held 'home' button and 'on-off' button at the same time for about 10 seconds till ipod reset (I hadn't done this step previously)
    3. Connected to itunes
    4. Pressed restore and update ipod
    Update successful and ipod taken out of recovery mode
