HT4897 Why can't I create a MobileMe alias?

I try to create an alias and a get a message saying alias cannot be created at this time. I enter my name but it is proceeded by a greyed out @icloud.com address. Is it no longer possible to create an alias with an @me.com email address?

You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

  • Why can't I create a response to an email from the Viewer window?

    Why can't I create a response to an email from the Viewer window?
    When I select an email to respond to in the viewer window and click on the respond arrow that appears just under the header, a new response email opens for a split second then disappears.
    I have to actually click on and open the email message in its own screen to be able to then click on the respond arrow and succeed in having Mail open a response email that I can edit - one that remains open.
    This seems to be a bug that we need to have squashed.

    Do I have to connect the iPad to a computer to make this work? Is the fact that I used another email address to set up my Apple ID years ago causing the problem? A friend of mine just got a new iPod and he was able to set up a me.com account. I am feeling rather stupid. Hope someone here can help.

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8,  for the simple reason it was
    created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
    OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
    current version for compatibility.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures are deleted!

    Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures now will be deleted!

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

    My daughter is 11 years ild, soon. Why can't I create i Apple id for her?

    Because a law in the USA requires website operators to obtain parental permission before collecting any personal information from a child under 13, and many have simply chosen not to allow them to sign up.

    FormsCentral can be used from anywhere, but to purchase a subscription you need a credit card with the mailing address in one of the countries supported for purcahse:

    The partner can purchase if they have access to a card in one of those countries.  Alternatively they do not need to purchase a subscription to edit forms that you've created, they do in order to create multiple forms of their own, but by your sharing forms with them at the "Co-author" level they have access to the editing.  Here are the instructions to share a form:

  • Why can't I create property nodes for item in STRICT typedef cluster?

    I've tried this in LV7.0/WIN2k and LV 7.1/OSX - both versions work the same.
    I have a TYPEDEF consisting of a cluster of items A, B, and C.
    I have a front-panel instance of this typedef.
    Under certain conditions, I want to disable and gray Item C, because it's not applicable.
    So I need a property node connected to item C.
    If the typedef is STRICT, then I cannot create such a property node - the menu item to create anything is just not there.
    If I change to NON-STRICT, then I can create the property node.
    I can change it back to STRICT, and the property node works just fine.
    The question is, if the nodes WORK normally, why can I not CREATE one?
    If there's some sense behind this, someone please point it out to me...

    I agree with you, It would be nice to be able to keep the non strict typedef auto-update and extend it to properities which effect the look of a control. I am not sure why you can change the properities on a strict typedef. A strict typedef should have private properities (can only be changed from within the definition and no public other vi scope for writing these values. I have in the past used a custom control for presentation purposes and contained the structure of the data to be displayed within the typedef cluster. This is not all that automatic since we need vi's to convert between the definition and control. Seperating data structure from presentation is much like XML where the file only contains data structure and a reference to a style for presentation. It would be a very nice option to allow nonstrict typedefs to have an additional auto-update properities which could be toggled on and off. I would be curious to here others opinions on how to keep data structure and presentation consistant across an application without being tied down to a strict typedef (allowing the optional change of teh presentation at runtime).

    Hi There,
    1) This is the OBIEE forum, by the sounds of your question, which doesnt have much detail, Im guessing you want the OLAP forum for AWM related issues.
    2) Trying to help, I guess your trying to create the AW cube views, what version of AWM are you using ? It was first provided as a plug in but Im pretty sure the latest version of AWM ships with the functionality.

    As mentioned earlier, you can create as many triggers in the same script as you want to. Whether you use 5 scripts, or 1, or none at all, you have to put a / after the final END; statement in each one. Follow that by SHOW ERRORS to get complete error messages.

  • Why can't I create FOLDERS under my iPod name in the DEVICES heading?

    Note: I have my iTunes set to "MANUALLY MANAGE MUSIC".
    I can create Folders, subfolders and playlists under the PLAYLISTS heading.
    Under my iPod name in the DEVICES heading, iTunes only lets me create a PlayList. No Folders.
    Questions:
    Do I need to AUTO sync to get the folder heirarchy and songs created under the PLAYLISTS heading onto the iPod?
    How do I create a Folder under my iPod name in the DEVICES heading? This appears to be a bug and/or another iTunes limitation. I tried it and whenever a new folder is seleted, the folder appears under the PLAYLISTS.

    *Why are you creating playlists for albums and artists?*
    Why is that relevant? This is an Apple product which, historically, has allowed its users to file information any way they saw fit! Why suddenly impose arbitrary restrictions on how I organize my own data?
    +The earlier version of iTunes DID allow you to create folders in the iPod+
    *Only when autosycning*
    *You can be frustrated all you want but the feature has not been removed.*
    Yes the feature HAS BEEN removed. I currently am holding a prior generation nano in my hand which, in iTunes 6, allows me to MANUALLY create folders in it and drag playlists to the folders. I can nest folders and create any hierarchy I want. Since I am doing it MANUALLY, I can use the same ipod on several computers and collect selected audio files from each of those computers. The new version of iPod/iTunes simply has REMOVED this feaure and it is now only available if you autosynch. Like I said, I currently have free use of folders on an older gen ipod in MANUAL mode.
    The software is too concerned with whether you are pirating copyrighted material and does not at all take into account LEGAL use of the iPod! As a matter of fact, I use the iPod to store audio tracks of live presentations and need an easy way to archive these on a single ipod from several computers. The most efficiient way to do this is to MANUALLY transfer the files from each computer to the iPod, and put them in their corresponding folders on the iPod. I have been doing this for over a year on the previous generation nano and iTunes 6 with no sweat. But new iPod required 7.5 iTunes and I can no longer create folders on the iPod in manual mode. This requires a long linear stream of playlists that cannot be organized into category, computer of origin, etc. As such, I can no longeruse the new iPod for my very simple application of archiving/playing non-copyrighted audio files which have no prior id3 info.
