I'm wiritng an email in icloud

Can someone tell me why when writing an email in icloud my contacts in icloud do not come up not even the email addresses do not come up, why is that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you enabled contacts syncing on your PC, do you have any contacts in your iCloud account.

Cannot send email from icloud account from mac

cannot send email from icloud account from mac running 10.8.2

The SMTP server you are using with Wi-Fi would be the outgoing server of your internet service provider... this is likely why that's working.
SMTP servers specific to a ISP would not work on the 3G network. You would probably need another SMTP server. One from your cell provider?

HT201342 cannot get email from icloud account

Incoming email on iCloud not working all of a sudden.
Followed trouble shooting guide... not working

I assume that though your signature says you are running 10.4.8 you are actually running Lion or Mountain Lion? If so please amend the signature to prevent confusion.
Go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck Mail in the list there: then re-check it. This should set Mail up again to access the account. If this doesn't work, sign out completely, reboot, then sign back in again. You iCloud data will disappear from your Mac but reappear when you sign back in.

How do i use my .mac email with iCloud?

I had a .mac account with mobile me which i switched over to iCloud when prompted. I just receently bought a brand new iMac and want to use my .mac email in the apple Mail program but it's not working. I'm assuming the "type" of email is iCloud. Any suggestions on how to get it up and running?

Don't try to set it up in the Mail program. Go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with your @me.com email address. Check Mail in the checklist there, and any other data types you want to sync. Mail will be set up automatically and both the @me.com and @mac.com versions of your address should work.

I changed my apple id email address to try jumpstart my account to send me a verification email for iCloud activation. It worked but now I cannot change back to my original email address. It says its in use.

Hi Guys
I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine. To understand my issue let me explain how it started. My friend has a apple ID with email address (lets call it) [email protected] when activating iCloud on her iPhone a email was sent to verify her account. This was not done and rendered the iCloud feature disabled due to not being activated. [email protected] is the correct email address and works. A form of troubleshooting I used the iForgot service to test if the email address was correct and mail flow from apple was working and it worked fine.
I logged into apple id to manage account and resend activation email for iCloud. this did not send the mail. I waited 48hrs but to no avail.
I decided to kickstart the account to force it to send to another email address by changing the primary email address from [email protected] to [email protected] it worked and I verified the address and iCloud is now active. However now I cannot change the primary email address back to [email protected] as it says its being used by another apple ID.
I then tried iForgot with the [email protected] email address, it says it sent a email to [email protected] but nothing arrived in [email protected] or [email protected]
I have this feeling the [email protected] is stuck I'm memory on my apple ID some how but can't get it to forget [email protected] so that I can use it as my primary email address again.
I have tried to log into iTunes with my original details [email protected] and password but says its incorrect.
any advices in this would be greatly appreciated.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Hi there Lindlylou!
I have an article here that can explain a little more about the feature you are referencing, called AirPrint:
AirPrint Basics

That article will contain information about which printers are AirPrint compatible, as well as information about how to use AirPrint on your iPad. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

How can I change my email on iCloud that is not verified yet

I can't change my email on iCloud and the email on iCloud is not verified

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I have just downloaded ML. I can get my email via iCloud, but I can't get it on MAIL 6.0. I have done the JAVA thing--seems to be OK. MAIL 6.0 on my desktop won't sync with Mobile Me and won't download emails. Any suggestions?

Just did something--am not sure what, probably in the "iCloud"--but seems to be working at last!

Like so many others I have not been able to access or send emails with iCloud now loosing business. Not good enough and lack of info from Apple is also not good enough!

Like so many others I have not been able to access or send emails on iCloud. This is now loosing me business! Not Good enough Apple and your lack of information is poor customer service.

Unfortunately, Apple does not yet allow merging of Apple ID's. if you were once using [email protected] as your Apple ID then there is no way to link that ID with the new one to avoid losing the previous data under that old ID. You will have to either go back to using the old ID to save the old data or just keep both, which you arfe allowed to do.

Passwords prompted for random eMails upon iCloud back up? Bizarre.

My iPhone was stolen several weeks ago and I considered it long gone. However, yesterday I received a call from someone who saw my name in the "Lost my iPhone" feature with my contact information. The guy claimed he bought it from craigslist and didn't know it was stolen until he got home and that's when he contacted me. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with my problem but I thought I should mention it.
Awesome! I got my iPhone 6 64GB back, which I am grateful for. HOWEVER, I tried backing up my last iCloud (WiFi) backup and immediately after entering my iCloud account and password information I am prompted to enter a password for a random email/iCloud account. I forgot exactly what the prompt asks for, I cannot replicate the issue for you guys (you'll see why). It was something about apps purchased the with these accounts and I have to enter the password to recover the content. Below the prompt there is a "Skip" button and I clicked this. Immediately after that email another icloud account is prompted and again I clicked skip. This happened another dozen times and I gave up. Some of the emails appeared randomly generated while others seemed legit and one name appeared multiple time in different variations. The bizarre part is when I was prompted for a password for the email "[email protected]" and I then considered these were just randomly selected/generated emails. So I instead reverted to an older iTunes backup on my desktop which worked just fine but was missing a lot of my newer content.
The next day (Today) I decided to try again and after several skips I called Apple support when the FBI prompt appeared. The support agent had no idea what was going on, as usual, not competent and just following his flow chart while I try to solve the problem my self. While he was "finding the solution" I kept hitting the skip button and after 40 emails my iPhone finally restored and I hung up on the guy.
Cool, I solved the problem. BUT while my iPhone was restoring, downloading all of the apps, my battery started to drain. It was taking unusually long and when I tried to view my pictures they were all white. It usually takes about 20 minutes to restore everything. My iPhone 6 soon died and I plugged it into the outlet. When it turned back on with 4% I started reviewing all all of my snapchats and missed instagram notifications and it died again. I thought this was strange but considered it was because it was downloading all of my content, even though this never happened before. When it turned back on with a decent charge I started using it, it died again. This happened 4 times. I eventually switched lightning cables but this wasn't the problem. The 5th or 6th time the device died and never turned back on. When I push the sleep/wake button a drained battery appears with 3 blinking red lines AND the blinking lightning cable. I let it charge for an hour and tried powering it on but the same screen appears. I unplugged it and attempted to hard reset it but it just powers off only to power on with the same screen. I decided to let it die and try charging it again but it's been over an THREE HOURS and it still has NOT died. Normally if this was the case it would die in under 5 minutes of my continually powering it on. But instead the same drained battery screen appears. Oh yeah, I updated it to the latest operating system when I restored the iTunes back up.
What is the problem???

Hello Richard,
it sounds like you have a lot of space being taken up in your Sent folder but are unable to successfully delete them from your iOS device. You can also delete the emails from www.icloud.com as well, since deleting a huge number of emails can be difficult on an iPhone.
iCloud: Delete email
Delete messages
Select one or more messages, then do any of the following:
Click the Move to Trash button in the toolbar.
If you don’t see the Move to Trash button in the toolbar, choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu , click General, then turn off “Show Archive icon in the toolbar.”
Press the Delete or Backspace key.
Drag messages to the Trash in the sidebar.
To select several adjacent messages, click the first one, then Shift-click the last one. To select multiple nonadjacent messages, Command-click them on a Mac or Control-click them on a Windows computer.
Erase messages immediately and permanently
You can have iCloud Mail permanently and immediately erase messages when you delete them, instead of storing them in the Trash for 30 days.
Choose Preferences from the Action pop-up menu in the sidebar.
In the General pane, deselect “Move deleted messages to,” then click Done.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

HT5330 If I move from Mac/Mobile Me email to iCloud, will my current account's email vanish?

Probably a silly question. I am running Snow Leopard and for a couple of days have not been able to send mail from my long-time Apple email account. I have started the move from Mac/Mobile Me email to iCloud, when all I really need is to enable the iCloud SMTP server, I think.
When I was a few steps into the move, I reached the point where I had to either "continue" with my current email address/password, or create a new email account If I follow Apple's direction and "add" an account with my core user info, will I end up with "my" account as iCloud, but with my current account's email "vanished?"
I go back far enough that my Apple user name is not an email address, and my email address is dot.Mac, and I'd like to keep it that way, but right now I just want to be able to "send." Since my problem began I have been writing and then saving emails on my iMac, then opening them on my iPad or iPhone and sending the emails from those devices. Thank heaven for IMAP!!!!
Thanks,
Laura

[email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] are all the same thing: emails to all three go to the same inbox. You must presumably have gone through the migration process from MobileMe to iCloud before 1 August last, or you would have lost access to the account. However if you didn't set up Mail for the different iCloud server settings I wouldn't have expected to go on working this long.
In any case, I would suggest you delete the account from Mail (this won't delete anything on the server) and set it up again from scratch following the process described in this illustrated article:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

I changed my primary email and icloud is still set for my old email. I tried deleting my icloud but it aks me for the old password associated with the old email that I don't have anymore. Any other sugestions on how to get icloud to change emails on my ios?

I figured it out! I changed my email & password at the icloud site, then when I deleted the icloud account on my iphone - it still showed my old email but when i typed in my current password it went through. I was then able to sign back in with my current email and password. That was too easy for the amount of time I have put into this! Glad its finally fixed.

Can't attach emails to icloud email

Hi, since around the begining of August I haven't been able to attach any files to iCloud email. Running a Windows PC and I've tried Internet Explorer and also Safari and get the same result on both. When I click on the attachment icon and select the file to attach (and I've tried lots of different files - Exel, Word, PDF's etc) the spinning icon just keeps turning and says "loading" and then eventually the dialog box appears "XXX file cannot be uploaded at this time. if you're trying to add folder make sure it's zipped or compressed first and then retry" (I'm not trying to add a folder).
It's very inconvenient - I'm having to send emails from iCloud and send the attachments from another email account I have.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards, Bryan

either attach form Entourage using the media browser or export the photo to the desktop, attach and send and then delete the desktop copy
