HT4897 how can I check availability of icloud email address

How can I check availability of icloud email address?

Try to create one. If it's taken you will get a message saying so. Of course only try this with an address you really want since if you can create it you won't be able to delete it if it's the main account address.
In theory you can check email addresses by using 'Finger' but it's not in the least reliable and doesn't seem to work with iCloud at all (and many ISPs simply refuse it). 'Ping' will return a positive whether the address exists or not (it checks the domain only).

    You can't. iCloud uses its own email accounts @icloud.com

  • How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    How can you check a different iCloud account in safari in an iPad?

    As currently designed, you cannot. Once iCloud detects you are on mobile Safari, it switches you to the iPad screen.
    If you had another browser that would allow you to pretend you were a desktop Safari client, ie8 or 9, or Firefox, that might work.
    But, Puffin and Opera mini don't work.

  • I have the wrong email address in ICloud. How can I change to the correct email address?

    I have the wrong email address in ICloud. How can I change to the correct email address?

    I have the same problem. I changed my email address with itunes, & the icloud website knows it too. but the icloud on my iphone still has the old one & wont allow me to change it. I can change the password but the email address is grayed out so I can't change it. I have tried signing out via the store on my phone & back in but it made no difference. Help!! I keep getting error messages about the photo stream ..but I don't know what I can do to correct it. HELP!!!

  • How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

    How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

    You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address).  First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
    Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email      Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
    address is not available                         email which will be associated to you Apple Id
    You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
    I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
    The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
    All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address.  What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be? 
    I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
    P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too!

  • How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

    Hi there
    How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
    When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
    I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
    When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
    Is there any way of resolving this? I
    Thanks

  • How can I change my apple ID email address?

    How can I change my apple ID email address?

    I just did follow Varjak's instruction, but it refused. I was asked to enter my Apple ID's email address which unfortunately is the same as my Apple ID. I created two different passwords for each Apple ID n primary email address when I set up my I tune account in the first place, however.
    I do remember my Apple ID password because I have used it every time I installed new apps, but I completely forgot my password for the primary email address because I've never used it at all! I have another email address which I actively use it for all my email. I want to change my primary email address which happened to be my Apple ID as well to the one I actively use.
    Because of the explained problem, I can't log in to Icloud as I have been asked to verify by following the instruction sent to my primary email address.
    I would really appreciate it if any one can help me solve this problem.
    Thank you all.

  • How can I change my apple ID email address when I can't access old email (It's an old work address I can't access anymore)

    How can I change my apple ID email address when I can't access old email (It's an old work address I can't access anymore)? Whenever I try it always wants to send things to my email address to confirm. I have a new apple ID and a new email address, I want to use this now for my iphone and my macbook air but I can't and I'v

    Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

    Hi CMOREL,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you'd like to use a different iCloud email address, you can create an alias at iCloud.com. See this article for the steps to create an alias:

  • Can I use an existing iCloud email address on my mac?

    Hi everyone,
    I am wondering how I use an existing iCloud.com email address for mail on the iCloud.  Here is what I did:
    I bought a new Mac.  I signed in to iCloud with my apple ID and turned on the mail feature.  I created a new email address.
    Then, I signed out of the iCloud.  Stupid.
    When I logged back in to the iCloud, the mail was no longer synced.  I checked the box, and then it asked me to create a new email address again. Obviously, I do not want to create a new email address.  I would like to use the account that I just created.
    So, is there any way that I can use the account I created?  Or will I have to create a new one.
    Thanks,
    Katie

    OK, I'm not sure just what you have going on now. If [email protected] is both your Apple ID and your emergency email, I'm not sure how the [email protected] (or [email protected] if they are the same) address is related to it.
    Can you add the @icloud.com address to System Preferences > "Mail, Contacts & Calendars"? Not create a new one, just connect it with the "+" button and check Mail on the service list. Can you then read your iCloud email?

  • How can I use my private domain email address?

    I need my mail to be seen to come from my business domain, not from @me.com. How can I configure this with iCloud?
    thanks in advance
    Steve

    An iMAP account keeps all the mail on the server so no matter where you are or what computer you use once you set up a mail account using your IMAP information all your mail is instantly available on any device.
    I have a private domain IMAP account that I can access from all my computers anywhere I have an internet connection. No need to sync anything because all devices are accessing the same email account. All the mail is stored on the server so there's no need to store mail on any device unless you want to. I have multiple email addresses on the same domain and each user has similar access to their own account. All you need is sufficient space allocated to you by your domain hosting service.
    See Internet Message Access Protocol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia for more complete information about IMAP accounts.

  • HT4436 How do I get a new iCloud email address ?

    How can I change my iCloud email address to a new one?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. 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, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
