I would like to make my apple ID my primary email?

I've seen many questions, but this is probably the most recent, I am supposedly a 'mobileme' user when infact I never have been. Its annoying, inconvenient and poor customer service. I have been an avid mac customer updating all products and I feel that this is such a small thing which could be fixed? Any solutions?

See the following from Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID. If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, it's already an Apple ID.

Submit does nothing for "Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same"

Hello,
My Apple ID is currently [email protected]
My primary email address is currently [email protected], and has never been used as an Apple ID

Any idea ?

HT201320 When using an iPad Air, is it possible to have my email removed from the server after downloading it? That's what I have been doing on my PowerBook and I would like to use my iPad as my primary email reader now.

OK, I found the answer in the mail settings under the advanced button.

Trying to make my apple ID and primary email address one and the same!

As suggested by apple on the 'manage my apple ID page', i have tried to change my apple ID to my primary email address, i press submit and the page just refreshes and does nothing! I'm guessing other people are seeing this issue, is there a resolution? Would like to start using iCloud but can't do so until this is resolved and my ID becomes my primary email.
any ideas?

I have the same issue... not sure if it's broken or if it's now in process. All I know for sure is that this is a poor customer experience.

Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same

I have an apple ID ending with mac.com with Gmail primary email address.
I am suggested make them the save. However, when pressing submit, it doesn't allow me.
Any idea? Thanks

All that said, if I understand you correctly, although the @icloud.com email address is attached to my GMail AppleID and serves as my primary email address and login for that AppleID, it's actually a separate AppleID?
If so, that seems awfully confusing.
Yes, it can be confusing. Since iCloud is just another Apple service and requires an account to use it, you already have to have an AppleID to even sign up for iCloud in the first place. You used your gmail-related AppleID to do this. Now, as part of the suite of services offered through iCloud, there is an IMAP email account, and you are prompted to create an email address to use with that account at the time you set up iCloud. That email address is then automatically registered as an AppleID as are (and always have been) all Apple-owned domain email addresses.
You cannot replace the gmail AppleID address with the iCLoud email address as both are active AppleIDs. Not to mention, that you cannot use an iCloud email address as your iCloud account login, since that email is just a consequence of having the account in the first place.
I've probably not cleared anything up with this post (clear as mud, as the saying goes). But yes, your iCloud email address is in one sense merely a feature of the iCloud account you access and log in to using your gmail address AppleID. It is also a quirk of the Apple system that the iCloud email address, once created, is also an AppleID. The curcularity of that relationships means you can never replace one with the other.

Make your Apple ID and Primary email address one and the same: error

So I've encountered what many others have encountered while setting up my new ipad, login using my usual apple id and down the line get asked for an email address. After searching around I discovered that I can (and should) make the email address associated with my account my actual apple ID,rather than associating another email addres with my account.
so i go to manage apple ID, there's the option, click submit ... nothing. Just doesnt work.
Any else had this problem?

Apple ID and Primary Email Address are locked and cannot be edited

Apple ID and Primary Email Address are locked and cannot be edited... I accidentally clicked "make my apple ID and Primary Email address one" and now I cannot edit it. I don't use my @mac account and am not receiving any notifications. How can I change my primary email address back to an address I actually check?

Found a solution...
• Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
• Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
• Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
• Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
• The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
• Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your preferred address
This worked for me!

I already have an Apple ID account with 4 devices connected to it but I would like to make a new one with a desperate password for my school iPad. How do I do that?

You can create a new Apple ID and password for the iPad but none of the content downloaded using the Apple ID associated with the four devices will be available on the iPad.
Create new > Apple - My Apple ID
It's not possible to use two passwords with one Apple ID.

I have a spare Apple display screen an would like to make this a second screen for my iMac, would like some help on how to do this

I have a spare Apple display screen and would like to make this a second scren for my iMac,
would like to have some ideas on how to do this
laro.t

First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD. When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.

I would like to make apple tv slideshows to save on my mac

Can I get an application that will generate slide shows with the apple tv type cascading windows?

I bought Fotomagico and I did not see an option for the slide show where the photos cascade float and spin.
Thats what I would like to make my slides shows do and be able to save and burn to disk. The Apple Tv may
have a way to output the slide shows but they are limited to 200 photos max I think.
