HT4897 Can I create a new email address that will work with my existing Apple ID?

Hello,
When I got my first Mac I created an Apple ID. I later created an email account with the name [email protected] I'd like to have an address that is [email protected] I'd prefer not to use an alias. Can I do this without losing all the information in my Apple ID such as itunes purchases, computer purchase history, etc? How do I find out if the new email address I'd like to use is available?
Thanks,
kayjh

You already have [email protected] If you want [email protected] you will have either to create an alias, or to create a new Apple ID (for which you will need a different non-Apple email address) and then create a new iCloud account. You can continue to be signed in in System Preferences>iCloud with your current ID, and the new one can be signed in in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars where it will appear in Mail alongside the current one as a separate account. Or you can scrap the present ID and sign in with the new one in System Preferences>iCloud but continue to use the old one to sign in in iTunes - there is no confilct about doing that (though of course any data such as Calendars ancd Contacts you have in the present account will disappear if you sign out). I should choose the second option - the new account in Mail, Contacts and Calendars.

    I have a mid 2007 iMac (Model A1224 iMac 7,1) and the internal superdrive audio cd won't play, the DVD works. Can I purchase an external cd drive that will work with my iMac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Any external optical drive will work with your Mac. If you want an Apple USB SuperDrive, see > http://www.tuaw.com/2012/04/02/use-the-macbook-air-superdrive-with-any-almost-ma c/
    The best option is to take the Mac to an Apple Store and get the Mac's SuperDrive repaired

  • How can i create a new email address and change it to my Apple ID?

    I set-up a me.com address but mispelled my name.  How can I crate another email address and update my icloud

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Just log out of the current account and create a new account and merge your data when prompted. You might be better exporting your data from calendars and contacts to your desktop before you start so you have a back up.

  • How can I find a list of printers that will work with my iBook version=2.2?

    I need to print out a book I wrote on my old iBook...got rid of my Epson Stylus 62 and can't find a list on the iBook that says what other printers it will take. I have access to an old Dell 922 and am wondering if that can be hooked up and used to get the book printed without having to go to get info recovered and pay a lot of money. Thanks for any help!

    Oldmac
    You should be able to connect  the Dell 922 (c.2004) to your iBook Jaguar(c.2002) - you may see the problem... finding a driver for the Dell922 may be a BIG obstacle as Jaguar pre-dates the Dell922 - thus, no built-in driver in the OSX  - it may be that some Dell driver will work but I would not bank on it.
    Alternatives:
    What is stopping you from connecting iBook to the Internet?
    What Mac or PC do you have now? Connect via network cabling? > transfer file (what Application?) > print ?
    put your file on a thumb drive and transfer it to another's computer - friend, FedExOffice Store, etc.
    Think outside the box...

  • I am unable to install version 4, any dowload option automatically prompts a version 5 download. Where do I download version 4 without it switching to a version 5 download. Alternately, where can i find a reload-every addon that will work with version 5?

    Hi Jen.  My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse.  Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too.  Now to the problem at hand.  I have the same problem.  I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade.  Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade.  But I'm sure other factors are involved.  Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem:  What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it.  Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade.  Hope this works.   Charlie

  • Can anyone recommend a print server that will work with Mac & PCs?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless print server that will work with Macs and PCs ?

    Wireless has a disadvantage for many Powerbooks.  Unless yours supports 802.11g, it is not secure.  So it must support Airport Extreme on the Powerbook to have a secure wireless network.   Also many printers only support 802.11b, making matters worse, as that is not secure.  See my FAQ* on printing:
    http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
    Some printers have ethernet ports, which would allow you to use a Wireless ethernet bridge that is 802.11g.  Similarly you could use one on the Mac, and then you'd have your wireless printing.  Ask the printer manufacturer what might be possible.  The last thing you want is an insecure network, especially if you are at most 4500 meters/1500 feet from someone who could pick it up and log into it that you don't want.

  • I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • Creating a new email address in GroupWise 7

    I have groupwise 7 and need to create a new email address. I have searched the on-line documentation and it says to use ConsoleOne. However, my GroupWise user interface does not the ConsoleOne. Can someone tell me how to get to ConsoleOne?

    * skhazra,
    I assume you are using Groupwise in a corporate environment, so best approach is to contact your company's Groupwise administrator.
    He can create additional addresses for you @yourcompany.com or he can tell you if it is possible to add an external mail address to your Groupwise client.

  • How do i create a new email address?

    how do i create a new email address in Mail?

    Have you already established a new email account with an email provider such as Apple, Yahoo, Google, etc.? From the email provider you will need to know the email address ([email protected]), and the password for the account. If this is a common used provider such as iCLoud, MS Exchange, Google, Yahoo, or AOL that is all you will need to know Mail will fill in the rest of the information automatically. For other accounts you will need to know the acount type (POP3 or IMAP), the URL for the POP or IMAP server, the security type for the server, the URL for the outgoing email server (SMTP) and the security type for it. Don't panic over all this, most email providers have instructions on their site for setting up Apple Mail -- you just have to find it.
    Once you have the information together, open Mail then on the menu bar at the top of the screen select Mail > Preferences > Accounts. Click on the plus sign at the bottom of the list of accounts and start by entering your new email address and password. Mail will then attempt to fill in the rest of the information it needs. If it is unable to do so, you will have to fill in the information yourself hopefully following the instructions provided by the email provider.

  • I want to create a new email address

    CAN I GET A NEW EMAIL ADDRESS HERE OR DO I USE THUNDERBIRD?

    It's not a good idea to combine a personal Apple ID with one intended for business via an Alias. You should always separate personal from business, e.g. tax purposes, etc...

  • Early iMac (not Lion eligible), does my mobile me email address cease to work after June, 2012?  Can one create an iCloud email address?

    Cannot update to Lion on this early intel iMac.  Now I find out I cannot move mail, contacts to iCloud.  My question is, will my mobile me email address continue to work after June, 2012?  Can one create an iCloud email address to use with iPhone and iPad?

    If you own a iOS5 idevice like a ipod touch you are eligible to use icloud. This will preserve your current Email and Adress Book data after MobileMe dies next year.
    Else you would need to purchase a Lion capable Mac or set up a Vista/Win7 PC with office2007/10  to use icloud.

    This is the issue. They are telling you to get a specific email address.
    If this address is already taken, then what?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    It doesn't sound like you "changed" your Apple ID, sounds like you created a new one. Bad idea. All content bought with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. The ID that bought the content is the only ID that can update the content. Apple does not merge IDs not does Apple transfer content from one ID to another.
