ICal hangs after making an iCloud-email-address
Hi,
I made a mail-adress in my iCloud, and set to that email-address: add calender, add contacts. Now my iCla on my Mac hangs already for 2 days ... It says: update iCal-calenders ....
I deleted already al de plists of i-Cal in Preferences ... I quit everything, started again ... It keeps on "updating iCal-calenders ... " and every event is put 2 even 3 times in my iCal (not in iCloud, only in iCal on my Mac)
If you want to get new email @icloud.com email address for you existing Apple ID, then you have to open "Settings > iCloud" and set up a new iCloud account. It could be that the system ask for an Apple ID which is already an actual email address. In this case you have to change that in here: https://appleid.apple.com

Cannot update to Lion on this early intel iMac. Now I find out I cannot move mail, contacts to iCloud. My question is, will my mobile me email address continue to work after June, 2012? Can one create an iCloud email address to use with iPhone and iPad?
If you own a iOS5 idevice like a ipod touch you are eligible to use icloud. This will preserve your current Email and Adress Book data after MobileMe dies next year.
Else you would need to purchase a Lion capable Mac or set up a Vista/Win7 PC with office2007/10 to use icloud. -
Contacts no longer in sync between iPhone and Mac after creating iCloud email address
A few days ago, I was asked (by iCloud) to create an iCloud email address because it would be "better" than the email address I've been using. Since then, most of my contacts have disappeared from my iPhone 4s. I have noticed that the newest contacts are still on my iPhone, while all my other contacts are on my Mac and on iCloud.com.
How do I merge the two so that I don't lose any of the contacts and get them all in sync?
On my MacBook Pro, l have OS X v10.9.1, System Settings for iCloud checked for Contacts.
On my iPhone 4S, I have iOS 7.0.4, System Settings for iCloud ON for Contacts.
iCloud account on both devices is the same AppleID, which is my old AppleID, not the new @iCloud.com
My Hotmail email account has also been screwed up since this change. It keeps downloading the same messages over and over again and when I try to delete them, it tells me it is unable to move the messages to the mailbox trash.Welcome to the Apple Community BratTheCat.
Please try the following…
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
iCloud doesn't change anything to do with non iCloud content, contact hotmail to resolve your hotmail problem. -
A few of my contacts are recieving FaceTime or FaceTime audio requests generating from my iCloud email address. Additionally some of my contacts, including my husband are recieving texts that say they are generated from me (as their contact) but I am not texting nor do I have access to that particular thread and I am not recieving all of my iMessages from another one of my contacts, but she shows that they are sent. This all seems to be related to a single issue and Im starting to freak out that my apple account or a portion of it was hacked.
A few months ago my husband, out of town, initiated a FaceTime session and someone else answered it, and hung up. He then initiated it again and this time it came through and I answered it. At that time I changed my apple ID password. But now it seems like I am having similar if not escalating issues with this. What do I do?Contact the Apple account security team: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.

How to get an iCloud email address?
I want to get an iCloud email address (@icloud.com) for several reasons, among them:
To streamline my iCloud account access so only that email is associated with iCloud & its services.
To provide email between Apple (e.g. Apple Support) and myself
To be able to use Notes
Currently, I am using the same Yahoo email address for both iCloud and iTunes.
However, I wonder if I can give those up and replace them by the iCloud.com email address?
Some details: I got a new-to-me iPhone a few weeks ago, which was reset, and so the only apps
on it are the default iPhone apps. I have not added any apps.Therefore, I don't mind having to do
another reset as long as I save the few photos and some phone number contacts to a Vcard.
Could I create a new iCloud email address and use that exclusively after reseting the iPhone?
I could restore the contacts and photos from the computer.JacobianWife wrote:
What if I were to wipe the phone clean, and start from scratch, never using my current Apple ID at all, but then activate iCloud to get an @icloud.com email address?
Yes, you can do that - please see imp68's post here:
Re: I wish to transfer my Apple ID to a new iCloud account
If you do this, it's vital that you create a 'rescue address' which is a non-Apple address, because if you don't and something goes wrong with the account - for example if you forget your password - Apple can only contact you at the iCloud address which youy can't access. -
New Apple ID with a new iCloud email address as the ID
Can you get an iCloud email address BEFORE you get an Apple ID? I'd really like to not use my existing Yahoo email as my Apple ID login.
Seems I have to use my old Yahoo email address to get an Apple ID because it's already existing.
If I have to use an existing email address, can I subsequently change my issued Apple ID login to the iCloud email address I would have created after I've got into my new account?
Thanks anyone.The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?
How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?
You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address). First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
address is not available email which will be associated to you Apple Id
You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address. What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be?
I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too! -
Changing Apple Id to be my Icloud email address?
I have been using my sky.com email address as my Apple Id but I am now trying to stop using that for anything. The apple web page for changing Apple Id will not let me use my icloud.com address as my apple id - it says it is an apple domain and that apple domains can't be used for apple ids. Is there any alternative to having two email addresses?
Also my IPhone (3Gs) does not like the icloud email address - when I try to set up the account it comes back and says it can't log onto the me.com imap server with the icloud address. Is icloud email compatable with iphone 3Gs?JWBL, I am annoyed by exactly the same issue and there are more and more people complaining. See the discussion I created here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20844772?ac_cid=op123456#20844772
Roger, your point is that you should always have a non-Apple email address associated with your Apple ID so Apple can send you login information if you lose your password. That is certainly true. But it does not imply that that non-Apple address has to be the name of your Apple ID. And there is even a way to make an iCloud Address the name of your Apple ID: If you create a completely new Apple ID with the initial setup of an iPhone. But that is of course not an option if you already purchased stuff with your existing Apple ID.
It is not a major problem, but it kind of annoys me that I keep seeing my obsolete Gmail address everywhere after I switched to iCloud and it's just a ridiculous limitations I can't see any reason for. -
How to find out who's texting you from an iCloud email address?
how to find out who's texting you from an icloud email address?
OK after a bit of research I found a way to achieve this.
I simply looked up the email address in ADUC, then did a search in SP with the display name. I could locate the list and manually confirm it was configured with the incoming email address I was looking for.
I also found the below script on Stackoverflow, but got "The 'using' keyword is not supported in this version of the language." when I tried to run it. Any idea how to fix that? I'd like to have a script to link a library to an email address istead of the
manual approach described above.

My iTunes account is under my @yahoo email address and I became accustomed to my @Me email and now like the idea of the @iCloud email address that was made. My questions are....can I change my iTunes account to my @iCloud name without instead of my @yahoo name without losing my years snd years of purchases ? Can I also create an @Mac address ? ....or is my @yahoo and my @iCloud already recognized as the same by apple and my purchases would already be fine as well as restoring my devices ?
Your purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID (account) used to purchase them. They can't be moved to another account and you can merge accounts. You can start making new purchases with your iCloud ID if you want, but you will end up with two sets of purchases under two different IDs, adding further complication to your life.
Also, your @icloud email address is an alias of your existing @me address; emails sent to either address will be routed to the same inbox. You can decide which one you want to use as your default (as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441) but you can't separate them. -
Problem creating iCloud email address
I am attempting to create an iCloud email address. When I enter the address and click OK, I get the drop down window that asks me if I want to create the address and it warns me that I cannot change the address after creating it. I click create and it takes me back to the previous screen that asks me to create an address and the address I previously entered is still there. When I click OK, it repeats the whole process all over again.
Anyone else have this problem and know the solution?
Thanks.El Morche, I think the problem is that Apple's suggestions are bad! They included: <firstinitial>.<commonlastname>@icloud.com.
As soon as I tried again using a very unusual username (that I was sure would be unique), the registration succeeded.
Thanks geaux86 for the tip! -
Can you change the icloud email address linked to you icloud account?
Some how the my husbands iCloud email address got linked to my iCloud account is there a way to change the iCloud email address to another?
Not without creating a new iCloud account. If you want to do this, create a new ID with the email address you want to use, then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your device. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
This will not move your photo stream, however. If you have photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll and that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your device in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then delete the iCloud account and your photos will stay in your camera roll. -
I have 2 iCloud email addresses under my Apple ID, one of which is an @me.com and one @icloud.com. When setting up iCloud on my IOS devices, it is easy to select which email address I would like to use, however when creating the iCloud account in the Mail App on my Macbook Pro, it automatically selects the @me.com address.
I only want use the @icloud.com address and therefore would like to delete the @me.com address.
Could someone kindly advise me as to how I could delete the @me.com email address from my iCloud account?
I look forward to from anyone within the community who may be of some assistance with the above issue.
ThanksIt's easy.
I suppose you are using Mail as your mail application, so open it. Then, go to Mail menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Accounts, and choose your iCloud account in the sidebar. After that, you should see an "Alias" option, so press it and you will see your @icloud.com and @me.com addresses. Choose the @icloud.com email address, and you will be using this mail account on your Mac.
However, you can't remove a @me.com email address from iCloud -
After having a mac.com email for nearly 10 years I fell for a scam email and now am getting spammed daily in my email account. I use this email account for everything and would like to either block the spam emails - although that's hard since they change their email address daily - or just get a new icloud email address. I've researched this and have not found this easy. Any suggestions on how to change my icloud email account? Keep in mind all my devices are connected through this email including iTunes. Any help is appreciated - thanks!
To get a new iCloud address you would have to create a new iCloud account and migrate your iCloud data to the new account. If you want to do this, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, and when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data choose Keep on [My iDevice]. Then set up a new iCloud account with a new ID, turn you iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted choose Merge to upload your data to the new account. When you turn Mail to On you will get a new @icloud email address (@mac and @me addresses are no longer available). Once your data is in the new account, you can just delete the old account from your other devices without saving the data on the device, then sign into the new one and the migrated data in the new account will be synced back to them.
If you need to, you can change your iTunes ID to this new email address. This guide explains how to change an Apple ID name, but you can follow this and edit the primary email address instead to change it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40.
