Multiple apple IDs. Considering adding an icloud email address.

I've had my apple ID, which is my name, for MANY years. At some point, I was forced to change my apple ID to an email address. I changed it to a yahoo.com address, an email address I've had for ages. Now I have 2 apple IDs. When I do updates on my computer I often have to log into both because some programs were originally installed with my name only ID, and others later with my yahoo account ID.
I've always been confused about Icloud, because I cannot access all of the features because I don't have an @icloud, @mac, or @me email address. I'm considering adding an icloud email address, but am afraid of what the consequences might be. I have a completely different email address that I use for all of my regular email.
Will my name only apple ID change to [email protected]?
Will the apps that I originally downloaded with the nameonly ID know this?
What will happen on my ipad and iphone5?
will i need to set up another email account on my iphone so that my pictures will stream to photos?
Thanks for your help
Todd.

You can create an iCloud account using your existing Yahoo.com ID rather than creating a new ID. (You can use the other one because it has to be in the form of an email address and linked to a verifiable email account.) To do this you would go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID to create the account, then check the data you want to sync with iCloud. When you check Mail, you will be prompted to create your @icloud.com email address. This is the email account that goes with your iCloud account, if you wish to use iCloud email. When you type the name you would like to use for this address, iCloud will search and tell you if it's already taken by someone else, in which case you will have to choose another. Type carefully, as once created, your @icloud.com address cannot be changed. Understand that your iCloud account ID will still be your @yahoo.com address. The @icloud.com address you choose is for email only.
None of this will effect your existing purchased media using your two Apple IDs. These will stay the same as purchases are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them. Also, Apple will not merge IDs.

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. What do I do?

I cannot access my old email address anymore, however I have used it for my apple ID and now I want to delete it because the account has never been verified in the first place so my password for it doesn't work. So when I want to download apps I have to sign in with apple id but I can't so I made a new one, However I can't seem to be able to delete the old one. What do I do?

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

HT5312 what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the forgot your security question thing still doesnt show because i dont no my security questions ???????????????????????

what about if you have added a rescue email address and verifyed it and the i forgot my security questions still doesnt show up and i dont no the answers !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! what do i do then because i dont want to phone up !?!?!?! please help !!??!?!?!

If you have just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate email address - a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions. You will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

How to change security questions after adding a second email address?

I'm at a loss and really really frustrated with Apple for the first time in my life.
I've added a second email address and tried over the last 3 days on my iPad and Mac to change my security questions. There is no option present that I can see that allows you to do this without first entering the answers. (to which I don't know anymore)
I called Apple support (even in english) and every time the call has been dropped.
In all the years since switching to Apple I've always been impressed with the level of customer service. This is the first time that I've felt this level of sincere frustration.
I'm not sure why I have to book a time to speak with someone. Updating or changing security questions, should be a process one can do over the internet. I'm confused either way why questions are necessary if the apple password entered was correct. It's not my bank account; why the need for such extreme security just to download an app paid for by an iTunes card!
Any help or direction would be appreciated!!
Thank you
Kate

Hello there, Kate.
Apologies for your frustration. For your security the existing questions need to be answered before new ones can be created. The following Knowledge Base article provides some additional steps to try if you are unsure of the answers to the existing ones:
Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
Specifically:
What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.
If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.

I cannot access my rescue email address

Here is my problem. I have multiple AppleIDs because I am stupid, but I only use one. I bought a new Macbook Pro recently, and when I went to buy something off of the App Store, I was unable to do so because I do not remember the security questions for my Apple ID. I followed everybody's directions to go change my security questions, but the caveat is that I cannot access my rescue email address anymore.

If you don't have access to your rescue email account (you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

The reset link will only send reset info to your rescue email address, an alternate email address is not used for account security. If you don't know what your rescue email address is (you won't be able to view/change it until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

You added an alternate email address to what? What reply are you expecting?

Send iCal alarms to other people's email addresses

other than adding other peoples email addresses to my card, is there a way to do this? I want to be able to send email reminders to client appointments that I have scheduled in iCal.
thanks,
bl

I'm sorry that I dont know how to do this, but, I am wanting exactly the same feature.. I'd like to be able to just type in an email address for who the reminder should be sent to. This way, if I want to sent to myself and a client, then I can set up two alarms, one the standard way (to my email) and another email alarm (at the same, or a different time) to a clients email address.
I'm wondering, if it can't be done as a standard iCal feature, maybe the user of Apple Script might do it? There's an option to Run Script as an alarm category. Selecting this brings up a file browser to select the script you want to run. So I wonder, does anyone know how this could be achieved using Script maybe?
Or failing that, is there an Add-on that's already been written to iCal? I can't seem to find one, and I'm guessing that because Ferd II has replied with an "I dont know how" answer, then perhaps there's no real solution... haha, I see Ferd II that you're a frequent and knowledgeable iCal poster in these forums!
Fingers crossed we find a solution...
