I cannot email from my icloud account on my iphone

I can email from my icloud account on icloud.com but not on my iphone. Is anyone having the same issue?

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account.  It's assigned when the account is created.  But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password.  Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't.  Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it.  If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

  • Hi! I cannot remove from my iCloud account an associate e-mail, which is not mine but my daughter... Could anybody help me?

    Hi!
    I cannot remove from my iCloud account an associate e-mail, which is not mine but my daughter... Could anybody help me?
    That email address, appart from mine, appears in every single device I have, iphone, ipad, macair... When I sync it merges my personal data with hers (my daughter)...

    To fix this, one of you should migrate their devices to a new account.  To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.  If you have other iOS devices, you can just save the photos stream photos to the camera roll, delete the existing account, choose Delete from My iDevice (since the data is already in the other account), then sign into the new account.  If you have a Mac that needs to change to the account, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, then sign back into the new account.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

    Hi karen615,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot reset your Apple ID password via security questions, you can reset via email authentication. If you are not receiving the email, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support using the link in the Get help section toward the bottom of the article.

  • How to change the email from the iCloud account info?

    HOw to change the email set in the iCloud account info? My Apple ID is different from my icloud account I like to keep same email for both.
    please help with the steps.
    thanks

    You can change the non-Apple address which forms your ID to another non-Apple address at http://appleid.apple.com . However you cannot make your @icloud.com address into your ID address.

  • How can I access documents from multiple iCloud accounts on my iPhone?

    I have a business and a personal life that are both heavily influenced by my Apple products and all stay in sync via iCloud. My only issue is that in order to access both personal and business iwork documents on the go, I have to carry two iphones with me - which really is inconvenient. Of course I could just use the business iphone but then I would not be able to access my family photo stream which is very important to me.
    Any help would be appreciated. I would think that there would be a simple solution to my issue but I need your help finding it.
    Thank you!

    There has to be a better solution than deleting and switching icloud accounts on my iphone each time I need to look at my work documents...

  • I receive an error stating user name and password are not valid on my ipad and iphone 3Gs when attempting to load email from my icloud account. When I log onto icloud from my Mac, it wont load the email either.

    One day, my ipad and iphone pick up my emails (.mac account) from icloud just fine. the next day, I recieved error messages that say my user name and password are not accurate. I removed the icloud program on both devices and added it back on to both devices and get the same message. I logged into icloud from my Mac and while I can log in, it times out when I select email and wont load the email there either. Any Suggestons?

    I am having the same problem; it started about 24-36 hours ago.
    I know my ID/PW combo are correct because I can access all other aspects of iCloud except mail.
    iPhone -- returns incorrect ID / Password
    iPad -- Same
    Mail.app on Mac -- returns incorrect password error
    icloud.com -- allows me to log in and use all functions accept mail.  When I try to use mail it stays on a white screen for about 60 seconds then returns a dialogue box that indicates a server error.
    I contacted Apple and they placed my iCloud account into something called "Troubleshooting" mode.  They generated a new strong password and sent it on to "Engineering."
    I suspect there are a small number ofo users like you who are affected with the same problem I am.  Too small a number for it to be reported as an outtage.  I suggest you call Apple and open a case to have your mail investigaged.
    Hope this helps...

  • When sending email from my icloud account under my email address the name comes up as my husband can i change this?

    When i send an email on icloud the name showing is my ex husband i've checked my apple id and its showing correctly so don't know why its showing as his name when i send emails?? How do i change that to my name?

    To change the From name on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap iCloud under Accounts, tap your iCloud account at the top of the next screen, tap Mail at the bottom of the next screen, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on a Mac (if you have one), go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • Cannot log into my iCloud account on my iPhone.

    hi i set up my icloud account same as my apple id. then i changed my apple id to a different email address. now when i try to log into my icloud using my old email it wont let me log in or delete my icloud from my phone. please help  thanks

    You need to go to apple id site and change it back, without verifying for just as long as it takes to delete icloud account on your phone. Once deleted - change it back and verify.

  • HT4759 How do I transfer my contacts back from my Icloud account to my Iphone

    All my contacts were deleted on my Iphone.  I have them stored on my Icloud account.  When I sign onto my Icloud account they are there but I do NOT know how to 'sync' them from my PC to my IPhone.  How do I do this?

    If your contacts are on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you can sync them to your phone by going to Settings>iCloud, sign into your account and turn Contacts on.

  • Cannot facetime from ipad icloud account and apple id differ

    Frustrated that my phone and ipad were linked, I changed the id associated with my iPad- now it's linked to an icloud address, but I can no longer facetime.
    I've reset my pasword SEVERAL times to no avail.
    I used to get kick backs/ double texts and both devices would ring for facetime.  want them to be independent of each other.

    1) There is support. You have to actually contact them and ask to speak to Account Security.
    2) iCloud is as secure as your password. If you share your iCloud/iTunes account with others, or use the same password for iCloud as you do for other online services, then it is more likely to be guessed by hackers. I doubt the Italian Police are experts in internet security so don't believe what they say.
    3) Bottom-right of every page on Apple.com is a Contact Us link. Use it.
    4) iCloud storage and iTunes / App Store purchases cannot be transferred. Better to secure your existing AppleID and continue using that.

  • HT4847 Can I restore deleted emails from my icloud account??

    Deleted a message from my trash folder and I need it can I restore it!

    Hey there Fadi,
    It sounds like you would like to restore your deleted videos to your iPhone. If you had a back up in either iTunes or iCloud you can restore from that back up with the following article:

  • I can't send email from my Yahoo account using my Iphone 4S

    My Yahoo account was hacked yesterday so I reset the password and removed the cell phone number from my account (I have been getting weird text messages lately and thought it might be linked).  I am able to receive emails but not send them.  It gives me a message that "A copy has been placed in your Outbox.  Sending the message content to the server failed."  I added my cell phone number to the account this morning.  I removed the Yahoo account from my phone, added it back and restarted the phone.  It is still not working.  I checked the SMTP setting and it is correct.  Any suggestions?

    Hi.  Did you change the password on your Yahoo mail on your PC ?  This is the correct way to do it. Changing the password on your phone isn't good enough.
    Use your PC to access your mail account then go to your "account details" to change the password.  Once you have done this successfully go to your phone and delete and re-add your mail details.
    I guess you are using BT Yahoo.    Got caught with that one a week ago.
    Hope this helps.
