HT5622 why I cannot use an apple domain to set up an apple ID?

why I cannot use an apple domain to set up an apple ID?

You cannot use an existing @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address to become an Apple ID because they either already are one or are associated with an existing one, and in the latter case these cannot be moved to another ID.
The option is be there to create an @icloud.com address as use it as an ID when you create an iCloud account - please see imp68's post here:

  • Why I cannot use search function in my apple store? I use Ipad 3 and it is the latest software

    Why I cannot use search function in the apple store on my ipad?

    Nobody here could possibly answer your question as presented. Have you tried any troubleshooting steps at all?
    Quit the app store completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't work ... A few more details from you might help you get your problem resolved.

    Why I cannot use SIRI in Japanese after updated to ios 5.1?
    I can see the language is there but it doesnt work

    Check your settings to make sure Siri is actually enabled.  Sometimes I find that Siri will disable during the updating process.  Oh, and it should be iOS 6.0 not 6.1.  6.1 doesn't exist...yet.

    why i cannot  use my account balance to purchase things?

    You can. I do it all the time. I'm sure that there is more to your rhetorical sounding question that what you have stated here. Asking "why can't I" type questions provides no useful information at all.
    So why don't you explain what's going on when you try to use your account balance.

    Hello there MizzouTrojan,
    If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note:    You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.” 
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only). 
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • HT5622 why i cannot download the application which is free? I make apple id and im trying to download but it show that i have to review my apple id and they are asking the account number. what i should do? please help.

    why i cannot download the application which is free? I make apple id and im trying to download but it show that i have to review my apple id and they are asking the account number. what should i do? please help.

    To use an Apple ID, in the iTunes/App store, requires a payment method be associated with your ID. That can be either a credit card, or if no credit card, you can redeem an iTunes gift card. So, do you have a payment method associated with your account?

  • Does anyone know why I cannot use my Apple ID for iCloud?, Does anyone know why I cannot use my Apple ID for iCloud?

    I am trying to use the iCloud on my laptop and I have downloaded the dashboard for this but when I enter my Apple ID it tells me it is an apple id but not for the cloud. What or where do I go to get that ID?

    As was clearly explained on that download page for iCloud control panel, while you can use an iCloud account on a Windows machine, you cannot create an account from one.
    You need an Apple device to create an iCloud account.  Afterwards, you can use that account in Windows, but to get Apple's free iCloud service, you have to create the account initially from an Apple device.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1455?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    see the bit:
    "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later. ..."

  • Why I cannot use FaceTime audio?

    I bought my iPhone 5 in China, where the FaceTime audio is banned. But now I stay in the United States, I still cannot use this great function. I don't understand why? Is there anyone who fixes this problem? Could you please do me a favor? Thank you.

    I had this problem too, and found out that the issue was with my router.  Apple posted an article regarding this issue.  I have tried many other routers and they all just work, but the 1st one I tried gave me much grief connecting.  The apple support article can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4245

  • HT4623 Why I cannot use the new feature of phone after I upgraded to ios 6???

    I have already upgraded to iOS 6, but why I still cannot use the new feature of phone??
    I cannot reject calls by sending them message.  What happen??

    While ios 6 is compatable with the iPhone 4, many of its features are not available for the 4. The features need the 4s or 5. See here:
    Turn-by-turn navigation is available only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 or later with cellular data capability. Flyover is available only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch (5th generation). Cellular data charges may apply.
    Siri is available in Beta only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad (3rd generation), and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area.  Cellular data charges may apply.
    FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.
    Offline Reading List is available on iPhone 4 or later, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch (5th generation).
    Made for iPhone hearing aids require iPhone 4S or iPhone 5.
    Panorama is available on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPod touch (5th generation).
    Find My iPhone and Find My Friends enable you to locate iOS devices only when they are on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network or have an active data plan.

  • HT1941 why i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?

    whi i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?

    PwmBoat,
    This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile...  I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
    You did not say what webcam software you are using...
    ======================================================================
     Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
    Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
    YouCam > Right-Side   Settings >
    Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
    AND
    CHECK "Capture with audio"
    OK
    You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too.  (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)
    ==========================================================================
    I hope this helps!
