I want to use my .me email address not the new .iCloud address I've just been issued

I am now in the situation where I have different iCloud email address on my iOS devices. My iPhone has a .me address my iPad has the iCloud address and I can see no way to change either. 
I would like to use the .me address to send emails as this is the one everyone knows. Please help

There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
If you mean that the address is your rescue email address then follow the steps half-way down this page for changing it http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
You can then try using it as your primary email address on your account (you may need to log out and back in after removing it as your rescue email address).

  • I want to upgrade my old airport express to the new express. Can I just switch out the old for the new or must I delete the old network first and start from scratch with the new express?

    I want to upgrade my old airport express to the new express. Can I just switch out the old for the new or must I delete the old network first and start from scratch with the new express?

    It is not necessary to delete your old wireless networks first, but doing so may eliminate confusion. If you wish to do that, open System Preferences > Network, and select Wi-Fi from the left column. Click the Advanced... button, then select your old wireless networks and delete them with the "–" (minus) button. Make sure the "Remember networks this computer has joined" remains checked.
    OK then Apply.
    This prevents your Mac from searching for your previous network which will no longer exist.
    A new Express creates an open wireless network that you must select before you can configure it. It appears in your Wi-Fi menu like this:
    Select it. AirPort Utility will load and walk you through its configuration.
    Edit: If you are really using OS X 10.5.1 as shown in your profile, the above screenshot is not applicable. Instead, select the network called "Apple network nnnnnn" and then launch AirPort Utility.

  • How can I get the payment e-mails sent to the second e-mail address (not the e-mail address of the primary administrator)?

    We have two administrators: the primary and a second administrator. All the payment information goes to the primary e-mail address, but should go to the accounting department (the second e-mail address). How can we change this?

    Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
    If this isn't working for you, contact iTunes store support for assistance: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • Mail Group addresses not the same as Address Book contact group addresses.

    A group in my Address Book does not show up in my Mail address book the same. The Mail addresses for my group includes ALL my contacts. How do we fix this problem? I am afraid to send a group e-mail in case it goes to everyone else in my address book. We set up the group in the address book via drag and drop.

    That's what I thought.... Although when I log on to Mobile Me through the internet the sender's name there appears just like it does in my address book, so I thought there would be a way to set it in mail.

  • How do I delete old .mac and .me email addresses from the new iCloud email server?

    Now that I have iCloud, all the old .mac and .me email that I never used feeds through it.  Since there is no SPAM filter, I cannot block these emails from getting through and I get lots of spam now.   How do I delete the .mac and .me email addresses?
    Thanks.

    I  set the Rules months ago to automatically put all email sent to those email addresses in TRASH.  However, they still appear in my Mail Trash on my Mac.  Just an annoyance.    Thanks for the response.

    I have an iPad3 and the Apple AV adapter.  It was working fine with DS file and other apps that play movies, and used to display the movies full screen to my HDMI TV.  But in the last few weeks, this changed.  Any one else seen this happen?

        Hi there T&P63385!
    Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
    Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
    The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
    Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
    Thanks,

  • I want to use my @me email for my itunes to kind of keep everything organized without using so many different emails. When I go to edit my email address it tells me I can't use an existing account, but it's mine...

    I want to use my @me email for my itunes to kind of keep everything organized without using so many different emails. When I go to edit my email address it tells me I can't use an existing account, but it's mine...

    The problem is that you try to merge different Apple IDs (your old account and your me.com account) which is not possible. Apple will not let you do that.
    Quote: "Can I merge multiple Apple IDs into one?&#8232;
    You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details."

  • HT5312 I no longer have access to my primary email for Apple ID and I want to use my rescue email as my primary email. How do I accomplish this?

    I no longer have access to my primary email address that is my Apple ID. I want to use my rescue email as my primary email. I have tried and tried and tried to, but Apple will not let me without accessing my old email account... which I cannot. How can I get my rescue email to be my primary on my Apple ID?

    Hello Heather_M_D,
    I found an article on how to change your Apple ID to another email account. 
    Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    You would have to verify a few conditions first :
    Ensure that the email address you enter:
    Is one that you regularly use since this will be the primary email for your account
    Is a valid email address
    Is not already associated with another Apple ID you have
    Is not an address that ends in @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com
    If you meet all those conditions (you might have to dissociate the recovery email from your current Apple ID) and your current Apple ID does not end with @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com, you would follow these steps from the article:
    Follow these steps to change the primary email address for your Apple ID:
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID," and sign in.
    With the Name, ID, and Email Address drawer selected, click Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
    Enter your new email address.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • I have an email address that was used on one Appleid account and I have now created a separate Appleid for another device. Is it possible to transfer that icloud email address to the new Appleid account?

    I had multiple iPhones and iPads associated with the same apple account and I have now created a separate account for two of them.  The question that I have is whether there is a way to transfer the icloud email address to the new account?

    Welcome to the Apple community 1960gmd.
    Once an iCloud address is used for an Apple ID, you can't use it for any other.
    Why would you want to use another Apple ID if you already have the address you want to use in another.
    If you want your email on all devices but use a different ID for iCloud add it as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars and just enable mail.

  • Get option back - "I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server"

    Hello,
    I have a Virgin Mobile USA blackberry.  When I go into the Setup Wizard - Email setup the only option I get is "I want to create or add and email address". 
    How do I get the other option that says "I want to use a work email account with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server" back?  This option was there before I activated the phone but is gone now.  No email accounts have been setup yet.
    I am trying to use this phone with a work account.  I have my Enterpise Activation Password but I have no place to enter it.
    Thanks

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    Have you tried here:

    Given this, I suspect actually that your account, from your carrier, does not include BES. If the above mentioned item is not in your menus, then that would likely confirm this. I suggest you contact your carrier to ensure you have a BES-level account from them.
    Good luck!
