HT5330 I'm trying to add another iCloud email address; it refuses password???

I am trying to create a second iCloud email address;  I followed directions for Snow Leopard and get account created, am using my Apple ID signin as password.  Account will not go online and keeps asking me for password. Then rejects what I type in...
Any ideas.
Thanks
Rose

Firstly, it's a really bad idea to post your email addresses - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
You can create an alias with anything you like before the '@' provided of course that it hasn't already been taken. However what follows the '@' can only be @icloud.com - @mac.com addresses can no longer be created, though existing ones will continue to function (and have equivalent @me.com and @mac.com versions).
As your current Charter.net address is (something)@charter.net and you are going to change it to (something)@icloud.com you are still going to have to notify all your friends as it is a change of address.
You don't say whether your charter.com address is completely independent of your iCloud account or whether it is its login (though if you have an @mac.com address that is likely to be the login). If your login is any non-Apple address you can change it to any other non-Apple address, but you cannot change to you @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address (or alias address), and if your login is an @mac.com address you cannot change that.
When you add an alias you cannot access it as a separate account in Mail (it's not an account which is why when you try to add it you can't find a password for it); you can access and use it as the 'From' address as indicated in my post above.

  • Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one?

    Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one?  I would like to have two different email addresses for personal use, on Icloud.

    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.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

  • How do I setup another iCloud email address

    i do I setup another icloud email address??

    Each iCloud account only has a single associated email account.  You can create additional alias addresses that will receive email in your existing account inbox, but it's still the same account.  This explaines how to add an email alias: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.
    If you need to create a new iCloud email account you will need to create a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your Mac by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts>iCloud, sign in with a separate Apple ID, then check Mail in this account.

  • I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

    I'm trying to change my icloud email address?? cant seem to do this help please

    That's because you can't change your iCloud email address.
    You can change the AppleID address associated with your iCloud account at http://appleid.apple.com/
    Or you can setup a new email alias to your existing iCloud address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
    But you cannot change the primary email address for an existing iCloud account. If you want a completely new iCloud email address you need to create a new iCloud account using a different AppleID.

  • My old Apple ID does not work, so I have a new one, but the problem is, my iCloud is backed up on my old Apple ID, and I tried to delete the account, but then it said that everything would be deleted on my iPad. How do you add another iCloud email?

    My old Apple ID doesn't work, so I created a new one. However, my iPad(3) is backed-up on my old apple ID. I tried deleting it(for iCloud) but it said it would erase everything. Help?

    If you want to use a new ID, you'll have to create a new iCloud account using the new ID, then migrate your existing icloud data to the new account.  Start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).  Next, if you are syncing notes with iCloud, open them one at a time and email them to yourself so you can recreate them in the new account.  Finally, if you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, turn off iCloud syncing in your iWork app settings.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Keep on My iPad when prompted.  Then sign in with your new ID to create the new account, turn your iCloud data syncing back on and choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.
    When you turn Mail to On you will create a new @icloud.com email account.  You can go to icloud.com sign into your old account and set up email forwarding from your old iCloud email address to your new one if you wish

  • ICloud email address can't be used for iMessage or FaceTime

    When trying to add an @iCloud email address to the 'you can be reached at' list in iMessage/FaceTime I get an error message that says 'This email address cannot be used for iMessage'
    The primary email address I use for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime is not an iCloud email address - would this make a difference?

    Then it's probably an alias address.  If you go to iCloud.com, launch Mail, click the gear icon on the lower left and choose preferences, then go to the accounts tab, you'll see your main address and any alias address you've created listed there (like the screenshot example below).  You won't be able to use an alias for iMessage and FaceTime, you have to use your main @icloud.com email address or add another non-Apple email address that can be verified.

    Howdy Coralnut,
    It sounds as if you are having an issue with setting up your Gmail account on your iPhone for the purposes of using Messages, is that right? I would suggest that you use the steps in this article to troubleshoot -
    Gmail account cannot get or send email in iOS - Apple Support
    Specifically -
    Make sure your device is connected to the Internet by opening Safari and visiting www.apple.com.
    If you have other email accounts on your device, try to send and receive email from those accounts. If your Gmail account is the only one with the issue, fill out an unlock form, which proves your identity.
    Remove your Gmail account from your device and add it again: Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars > Add Account > Google. Enter your account information.
    Get more help
    If you have 2-Step verification enabled on your Google account, you'll need to generate an App Password to use with your iOS Device.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I added a custom ringtone . Then later I tried to add another three set  but now after sync . Am not able to get rid of the first one... It's still there as my custom ringtone. But my iPhone in iTunes shows all four... But the phone shows only one...?

    Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!
