I am attempting to add a new email to my iCloud account.  No matter what I enter it gives error message that I cannot use that address without suggesting alternatives available.  What  do I do?

I need to delete my primary use email address from iCloud.   I am attempting to set up a new email, but keep getting the error message,  " Cannot use this address".   I have entered dozens of different ideas,  keep getting same error.
Why doesn't iCloud suggest alternatives?

Hey Jagadish108,
This article will help you change the email address for your Apple ID. Note that addresses that end in @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com may not be changed.

  • My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

    My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.  My password doesn't work with the old email address.  When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist.  Help!!!

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

  • Why when I try to add a new email to my apple account it keeps telling me the email account is registered to another account

    Why won't Apple update my Apple ID they keep telling Emmy email already verified with another account

    If your email address is already tied to another Apple ID, you cannot use that email address to set up another Apple ID, you can only use that email address once. That email address will always be tied to that old Apple ID,
    You can change the email address that you use for your Apple ID, but you cannot attach one email address to two Apple ID's.

  • Attempting to install Maverick, error message says I cannot use my hard drive as a start up disk.

    The IT department where I work erased the hard drive and rebooted it to 10.7.5. In attempting to upgrade it to Maverick I encountered the error message saying that I cannot use this hard drive as the start up disk (or something to that effect). I read a couple of posts saying either to partition the hard drive or erase it entirely and boot from the recovery hard drive. Before doing any of that I booted using the option key, but did not find a recovery drive to boot to… only the disk0s2.
    Some stats on my computer:
    15-inch, late 2011
    2.4 ghz intel core i7
    AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
    C02H825CDV7P

    The partition table is corrupt. Boot into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime) and partition the drive with the default options (GUID format, one data partition.) The operation will destroy all data on the drive, so you'll have to restore from a backup.

  • Has any body tried using canon printer driver with Mac OS X v10.7. I just bought a new printer only finding out that I cannot use it. Any suggestions. Thanks

    I just bought a canon pixma iX6540 printer only to find out that the driver is not supported. I am using Mac OS X v10.7. Can someone help please. Thanks

    Although it mentions OS 10.6 on the link, have you tried downloading the latest drivers - if you haven't already - from the Apple Support site, maybe they'll work:

  • I have an ipad1 that I cannot upgrade to ios5. I have attempted to both cable and wireless download the software. Each time after completing the download the error message could not complete because the connection timed out" appears. What to do now?

    Can anyone suggest what else I can try?

    Make sure your computer and ipad aren't set to go to sleep.  If either goes to sleep, the upgrade won't work.

  • Cannot add a new email account, and hence icloud account. When i go into Settings - Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud Settings ghosted (unclickable). Cannot change in itunes also.

    Cannot add a new email account, and hence i have no way of creating an iCloud account (very frustrating). I had the same problem with iOS 4.3 but i had no email account to create as i set both up when i bought the iPhone 4. After adding a company email and a gmail account (both wok perfectly) i noticed that the option to create more email accounts had been ghosted (unclickable). This didn't worry me at the time. However, iCloud needs me to create one in here so i can access the cloud which i desperately want the ability to do. When i go into Settings -> Mail, accounts, calendars,  the option to add a new account cannot be clicked (ghosted). I also have iCloud in the iPhone Settings ghosted (unclickable). I have same problem in itunes on Mac OSX. Surely restoring isn't the solution as i restored my iphone when changing from iOS 4.3 -> 5. Please help?

    Go to
    Settings,
    General,
    Restrictions, type in your Restriction Password,
    Accounts, tick Allow Changes.
    Press the back key a few times till you're back in Settings, you should see iCloud is now highlight able, now go to Mail Contacts and Calenders and add your email account as per norm.
    Hope this helps.

  • PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog

    PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog to those that already exist. No programs are running that might conflict with Organizer, and I can run other functions such as downloading photos from my camera. As soon as I attempt to add a new sub-catalog to an existing major catalog, the program crashes. I'm using Windows 7, and have tried various compatibilities, but none solves the problem. Any ideas?

    How do you attempt to 'add a new catalog' or a new 'sub-catalog' ?
    There are no such things as 'sub-catalogs' or catalogs included in catalog.
    Catalogs are totally independent storing systems, they ignore what is managed in other catalogs.That's why it is recommended to have only one catalog, unless you have a good reason to create several ones because they are totally independent by nature (home vs professional for instance).
    You can create several levels of albums, of tags categories, but not with catalogs.

  • Can't add any new email account - Bug with Ios 6.1.3?

    For unknown reason, I can't add any new email account, I get stuck with when I have entrered my email address and password. In fact, the system says " checking" but nothing is happening. Do you have any idea?
    Somebody proposed me to reset Safari which I did with same result.
    I have two Iphone and 1 Ipad and I have exactly the same problem on all of them.

    I finally found the reason, it was linked with my email suffix which was a shorten version. When I put the long one, my email address has been recognized. The strange things is the fact, I have set up earlier the same account in pop instead of imap without any issue. I need to fight with the server name too as my standard incoming server was not recogized on imap (no reason as it works with other system). However, I found my way and it works.
    Thank you for your help. Maybe my demand will help somebody else.

  • Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U?

    I Can't open iTunes. When I attempt, the following message appears: You are attempting to add a new iTunes U collection but iTunes U is disabled. Would you like to enable iTunes U?  If I click either yes or no, the same box just reopens.  As far as I know, I have not done anything with iTunes U.  The software is up to date and I have also reinstalled itunes.  Any ideas?

    Since this problem, I was able to reinstall again and reboot, and then 'stop' while the library was being opened (that was another window that I could not close, that would come up before the error message, this time I chose to stop it).  Now only music I have purchased appears, none of my other >1,000 albums I manually added via my CD collection.  About 10% are in different music folders (I don't know why they aren't in the same one), but the other 90% are missing.  Any ideas??

  • HT201320 add a new email on iPhone 5

    If I select "other" to add a new email account on my iPhone, there is nowhere for me to input the correct server port. I keep getting an error that it timed out on the port it is using, but I can't change it!

    Hello topbleep,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you’re wife’s iCloud account is signed in on the phone you are using and you would like it to have your account. You can sign out of her iCloud account on the iPhone and sign in to your account. This will not cancel her iCloud account. To sign out of an iCloud account on an iPhone, please follow the instructions located in the attached article. 
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
    Have a great day,

  • With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message:  "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old.  To open it, save it with numbers '09 first"  So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

    With my new macbook I attempted to open an older spreadsheet and get the following error message:  "This spreadsheet cannot be opened because ti is too old.  To open it, save it with numbers '09 first"  So how does one do this when I only have ver3.1?

    Numbers 3.x can only open Numbers '09 and later.  You will need Numbers '09 to open Numbers '08 files.
    If it is a single file (or only a few) you can email me and I will open and convert then email back.  My email address is in the "Biography" of my profile.
    You may have Numbers '09 installed.  Look in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"  if Numbers is in that folder launch it, open the file you tried to open, and save.  Then you should be able to open in Numbers 3.x
