Question

I am trying to get onto I CLOUD but the passwork will not work.

Answer 1

Thanks for the reply, Bobwild. At least I'm getting a clearer idea that this is never going to work for me.
As I said, I really do not want to change my email address because it is my work email.
I am a freelance professional and all my clients have been using this mac address for over ten years.
New clients arrive all the time through word of mouth, i.e. old clients who pass on my emial address to people who also need my services. Unfortunately a lot of business works this way, so I would lose lots of clients if I changed my email address. But I guess Apple doesn't know, or doesn't care, about how business works for other people (as long as they're making loads of money from products made by suicidal, slave-driven Chinese workers).
Why are Apple saying you can use iCloud on a PC when this is clearly not the case?
Why didn't they warn me that from one day to the next, the email address I've been using for a decade wouldn't work anymore? I've already lost so many work hours trying to sort this out.
I don't want an iPhone as my new HTC has a better CPU, a larger, higher-resolution screen, more memory, more powerful antennas, a better camera, it's lighter, etc., etc,; iPads are over-priced and more or less useless for my needs; and I already have three laptops and two desktops so I'm not buying an iBook o iMac just for the sake of it.
And with this attitude of Apple's, I'm hardly enthusiastic about buying anything from them anyway. So much for customer care. I feel abandoned and vaguely blackmailed by Apple.
