HT4864 when setting up my icloud mail i accidently pressed dont merge instead of merge.  can i still merge them and if i can how do i do it?

When setting up my icloud mail I accidently pressed dont merge instead of merge. Can I still merge them and if I can, how do I do it.  I am a complete novice at this type of technology so any help is greatly appreciated!!

No problem.  If you sync your computer with your iCloud account, you can sync iCloud email, contacts, calendars and tasks with Outlook 2007 or higher; as well as your bookmarks with internet explorer and your photo stream photos.  This will keep this data on your phone in sync with your computer.  This guide shows how to set this up: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.
To enable photo stream, go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn it on.  After that, when you take a photo on your phone, the next time it is connected to wifi with the camera app closed and has at least 20% battery life remaining, it will upload the photo to photo stream and the photo will be streamed to your computer if you are syncing it with your iCloud account. 
Music is only synced with iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match.  If you do, the music in your iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) on your computer will be made available to download to your phone over iCloud without having to sync or store it on your phone.
You can also automatically back up your device to iCloud every 24 hours when it is connected to wifi and your charger.  To enable this, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn it on at the bottom.

    After activatin iCloud, my dotMac account wouldn't retrieve mail anymore. It kept saying that my username or password were not good. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't restore the service.
    Here's how I got it working again.
    Apparently my 6 letter password is no longer acceptable. You need to update it to an 8 letter password that includes numbers and capital letters.
    So I went to https://iforgot.apple.com and asked to reset my password.
    Because I could still get my emails logging into iCloud with Safari, I responded to Apple's email, and created a stronger password.
    Than I updated the passwords on my computer's Mail program, iPhone, and iPad (and of course everything else, iTunes, etc.).
    That was it!
    Everything works as normal again, I even was finally able to synchronize calendars over different computers again.
    Try it out, it could be your issue as well.

  • TS3988 when setting up my iCloud account i mistakenly misspelled my login and i would like to change this

    Hi ken,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I understand that when setting up your iCloud account you accidentally misspelled the login info.  The iCloud account username is an Apple ID and there is a terrific article that can show you how to edit that Apple ID and correct it. Be sure to make sure you follow the top section, Before you change your Apple ID, before proceeding to the steps to change it.

    I have downloaded a Maverick OS X 10.9.4 and installed it on my Mac from a USB, and i can't receive a Verification Code via SMS when setting up the iCloud Keychain. Please help.

    Hello, Kutoz. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here is some information that you may find helpful with this issue. 
    I'm not receiving the verification code via SMS.
    Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    Make sure that your phone number can receive SMS messages. You can do this by asking someone to send you a text message.
    Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
    iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, you can contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help completing iCloud Keychain setup.

  • When setting up yahoo e mail what info are they asking for in the description block

    When setting up Yahoo e mail on i pad2 what information are they asking for in the description block

    It's just a name/description so that you can identify the account in the Mail app. If you have more than one email account set up on the iPad, then that is the name that appears and which you select when switching between them - so it just needs to be something so that you can identify which email account it is so that you know which one it is that you are selecting/viewing

    Sounds like you downloaded the OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update or Combo Update. Neither will work on a version of OS X prior to OS X Mavericks. Those are only used to update an existing install of OS X Mavericks. The Combo will update any version from 10.9.0 thru 10.9.4. The Update will only update version 10.9.4.
    You need the full installer of OS X Mavericks from the App Store. However, the App Store no longer offers OS X Mavericks. Yosemite is the new FREE OS X.

  • When I set up an iCloud mail account, it turns into a mobileme account!

    There is no more mobileme.  But when I try to set up an iCloud account in Mail, it gets turned into a mobileme account, uses mobileme servers, etc.

    Sign in with your Apple ID in System Preferences>iCloud and check Mail in the checklist there. If you are setting up using an Apple ID which takes the form of a non-Apple email address you will be asked to create and icloud.com address and Mail will be set up with it.

    Hi all,
    Mattreichenbach is probably on the right track here with a reset of settings.  I think I've determined the issue has to do with cached account information and inconsistencies for the account name.  This seems to crop up when I've changed my password and it hasn't propagated fully to all the servers, devices, certificates, etc.
    Hopefully many here are on their way to restoration of service by now but it's clear that a lot of people are having the same issues.  Very frustrating and definitely something Apple needs to resolve:  incoming mail server field grayed out, incorrect autopopulation of different fields, other unanticipated behaviors.  If you're still having issues, though, here's what worked for me...
    First, head to the iCloud preferences pane in System Configuration and choose "Sign Out".  When I did this it prompted me with a number of "are you sure" type questions about retaining information on my local machine.  I chose to delete/remove the info each time simply because it should all be restored by the cloud and I didn't want to risk a massive duplication of my data... I will say, I'm back up and running with no issues so I suspect you can make the same delete/remove choices...  But use your own judgment.  I don't want you to lose any data (ie.. please use care as you do this because I cannot bear the thought of causing anyone to experience the pain of data loss).
    Once you've signed out of iCloud, restart your system.  When you get back in, head to the Mail, Contacts and Calendars section of your System Preferences and add your account back by choosing the brushed aluminum "iCloud" button.  When it asks for your account name, use your @iCloud.com email address.  I am all but certain my issue had started because one of my devices (iPhone or whatever) had been set up with an email alias specified instead of my @iCloud.com address.
    Apple, if you're reading through any of these issues (there are TONS of users having this same problem).  Take note, that your icloud service somewhat frequently is not responding and yet tells the user that the password is wrong and this prompts people to be changing their passwords unnecessarily.  This has happened to me on numerous occasions.  Also, I noticed that last week's outage corresponded to a VERY similar outage exactly one year ago to the day.  Sounds like planned maintenance to me and I think you could do a better job notifying folks so we're not wasting HUGE amounts of time troubleshooting a problem that we have no hope of fixing.
    Hope that helps some of you!

  • How to set up an icloud mail account?

    My iCLoud email is not working.
    What is the Incoming Mail Server for iCLoud?
    The Outgoing Server says: (iCloud, Offline)

    Open System Preferences>iCloud.
    Switch Mail off, reboot, then switch Mail on again, Mail will (or should) be setup automatically if it is an iCloud mail account.
