Many thanks to all those of you who have helped me so  far. I am struggling to set up Cloud on my iPad air and User's Guide or web sites are not very helpful. I am being asked to create a new ID. Why? Can't I use my usual e-mail address?

you can
just enter your email as your apple id

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,

  • I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

    I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
    I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
    Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

  • Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?

    Can my husband and I use the same e-mail address/AppleID for our 2 phones, our iMac, and our Macbook?
    We share an e-mail account and would like to use the same e-mail address for both our phones, as well as our computers at home. Is this possible?
    We both have itunes and apple ID's of our own right now, but since getting married, we are deleting these e-mail accounts and sharing one. How can we make this work?

    You may use the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, but using different iCloud Apple IDs is recommended.
    If you use the same iCloud account on your iPhones it will sync all of your contacts, reminders, and notes automatically and it could be a pain. I don't know exactly how you would want to have the iCloud accounts set up on the Macs, because I don't know exactly how you use them. (I am assuming you share?). But you can do whatever you like, you can even keep the same iCloud accounts, etc but you may want to disable the syncing of certain items, because reminders for ones phone popping up on the others automatically would probably get annoying, but that is just me.

    Why can someone use same icloud e-mail address as mine?
    I Have found that the new facebook account has been set up in someone's name using my iclound e-mail.

    Do a backup.
    Try System Preferences/iCloud and sign out. Then sign in with your new Apple ID.

    Created an apple I'd using a wrong e-mail address. Can't access the e-mail to varify the Apple ID in order to be able to change the account settings. Any idea how can change the account information without having to varify the account through the e-mail?

    You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
    Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

  • How can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    I have two iPads.. an iPad and an ipad 2.  I registared my new ipad 2 and now my old ipad is will not let me log on and is telling me that my e-mail address is already in use.  how can you use the same e-mail address for multiple ipads?

    And by using the same Apple ID you can also share purchases.  If you have a different Apple ID for each iPhone then you can't share purchases.

    It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
    If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
    Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
    Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
    Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
    Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way...

  • Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions

    Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions instead of through E-mail. When I try retrieving my new Apple password through reset through security questions?  On the Apple id, it will not allow me to do so becasue I forgot my security answers to the question. I'm naming one or two of the wrong vechiles which is what the questions ask me for for security questions.
    For icloud do you reccommend that I keep that same E-mail address or create a new one for my iCloud mail aside from my G-mail address name?
    I asked support community for the very first time to reset my security questions and it wanted me to create a new user name for iCloud when I already have *****l for my original Apple id.

    TheresaEW,
    I’d recommend contacting Apple directly to resolve your security question issue.

  • I have been trying to set up icloud on my ipad but nothing is showing up.  what am I doing wrong or where do I look?

    I have been trying to set up icloud on my ipad but after I run the program, nothing shows up on my computer screen or ipad.  Have I left something out?

    Thanks.  That was indeed the problem.  A few hints for others with this problem.  You can only find out that you need to upgrade, and upgrade, by cabling your iPad to your computer.  Then the next Tricky part is making sure you have your iPad purchases saved on your computer.  Then you download the new OS upgrade and you will get a "start up" type of screen on your iPad with a few questions.  Nowhere is there a very good explanation that you want to then go back to your computer and restore your iPad.  I finally did that because there were no other obvious alternatives, though all the warnings made me very nervous.  After the restore command, I synched my iPad and I seem to have everything back, and I can now access iCloud.  maybe I missed some instructions somewhere, but I found this process much more obscure than the usual Apple directions. Thanks for your help!

  • E-Mailing ERS through T-Code MRRL using a specific E-Mail Address

    Hello Everyone:
    Wondering if anyone knows a solution to an issue we are coming across.  I tried searching using different terms, but couldn't find an answer.
    By default system uses the first e-mail address saved in Vendor Master to e-mail ERS; whereas, we would like to use the 3rd e-mail address (for example) instead.  Is there a BADI, User-Exit, or Enhancement Spot that I can utilize?  Do you know which program, form, function module, etc. MRRL uses to get e-mail address from Vendor Master?
    Thanks in advance and if you have any questions, please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Use an alternative e-mail address after repeated failed attempts to send.

    My company uses a small e-mail server company that offers a lot of benefits, but occasionally goes down for a day or two. I would like to find a way to automatically use another e-mail address after several failed attempts to use this server.
    Thus, if everything is working right, my e-mail will use the regular server. However, if the original server is down, when my e-mail fails to send repeatedly using that server, I would like it to default to another server. Is there a way to configure this?
    Thank you.

    No, you can’t. .Mac’s SMTP server simply doesn’t allow sending from a non-.Mac address.
    Doesn’t your ISP include some POP or IMAP mail accounts with access to an SMTP server as part of the service? Such an SMTP server might be less restrictive.
    A Gmail account would allow you to use Gmail’s SMTP server. Instructions for setting up a Gmail account are provided here:
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
    After setting up the Gmail account in Mail and checking that it works, you can use Gmail's SMTP server to send from your other mail accounts as well:
    1. Log into your Gmail account on the web.
    2. Go to Settings > Accounts.
    3. Enable the addresses you want to be able to send from, and let Gmail validate them by verifying that you do indeed own them.
    4. For each mail account you want to send from using Gmail’s SMTP server, in Mail go to Preferences > Accounts, and choose Gmail’s SMTP server from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu.
    BTW, if you’re using Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), as your profile indicates, it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Mac OS X 10.3 & earlier forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.
