Icloud email for log in

Does anyone know why we are not able to use our icloud email address as our primary log in for Apple ID?

To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

I have not had access to icloud email for over a day now...anyone else having this issue?

The first trouble shooting steps are restart and reset: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If problems persist Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

I have now been without iCloud email for over 1 week!

Hi all
My icloud email stopped working last Saturday (11/02/2012)! I can log into icloud without a problem. I can see ALL my contacts, I can also see ALL my calendar events both past and future! This is exactly the same on ALL my devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone. Plus any PC I attempt to access it from!
I contacted Apple last Saturday afternoon (the first day of my outage). The first thing they ask for is a serial number of the device at fault. I tell them there is NO device at fault the fault is with icloud! I was then again asked for a serial number. ALL my devices are now out of warranty so I was told that I would be granted an exception just this once! WHY should I be granted an exception when the fault is with a NONE warranty part of their software???
After over one hour on the phone, they told me they had spoken to an engineer and that there was a fault on the server!
That was over one week ago the server page on this site shows ALL services are up and running when clearly they are NOT!
Friday (17/02/2012) I decided to contact Apple again, this time I asked to speak to the senior supervisor! After 10 to fifteen minutes of explaining the situation I was put on hold for a further fifteen minutes while he went for a chat with an engineer! When he came back he announced that there was indeed a fault with the server that was affecting ONLY 2% of the icloud users. To be fair to the man he also gave me his personal email address to allow me to bypass the warranty checks in future!
I was a Mobile Me subscriber before converting over to icloud and my account is STILL paid up the the end of June this year! I have had NO communications from Apple at all during this time even via my secondary email address that is registered with them!
I find this sort of treatment from a company like Apple is disgusting!

Me too. It has been 3 days since I have no access to iCloud mail. No matter I check it on iCloud.com, Mac, iPhone or iPad, the mail app says I have incorrect password. Specifially, when I check email on my Mac, the message below appears and prompt me to type in the password. I am sure that I've entered the correct password already.
The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “my user name”
Enter your password again or cancel.
Staying away from email for a day is OK, but definietly not for 3 or 4 days. Someone, please tell me what to do. If it has to do with the servers, Apple, PLEASE FIX IT ASAP!!

Using iCloud email for online accounts

We're changing our internet provider and I need to change all of the online accounts that use the old email address in the log in process. I've considered setting up an Outlook email address or a Yahoo or Gmail address so that future provider changes wouldn't require me to change the email log in for the dozens & dozens of online accounts but don't really want to use any of these providers. Can I use my icloud email address, which is already linked to my iPhone & my MacBook Pro accounts? Any reason why I shouldn't use the iCloud email address? I really don't like gmail & don't want a Microsoft account. And Yahoo seems to be hacked all the time. Thank you!

Unfortunately the free 5GB of storge is per account, not per device. However, iCloud will only back up your iOS devices, not your iMac. You may find that 5GB is sufficient if you are only backing up two iOS devices to the account. If not, you can always buy more.

HT204053 ICloud email and log in

I just installed mountain lion on my Mac Book Pro, I now want to share notes with my iphone when I attempt to do this I am instructed to set up an icloud email @icloud.com. I believe that I have done this in the past, I would like to use the same login for all of my accounts, at least the prefix, when I enter this I am told that an account is already set up with this user name (it is fairly unique) which is why I am fairly confident that I have set it up previously. How do I resolve this issue?

Go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account. Then, log in iCloud with your new email address

Why can't I use my icloud email for my apple ID?

I want to get rid of my old email address and only use icloud but Apple ID says I cannot use my icloud email address. Why would they offer icloud email if a user cannot use it as their primary address?

You can use iCloud as your primary email, just keep the other as a backup.
It really isn't a good idea to rely on just one email address in case you get an unexpected problem, for example:

How to use iCloud email for registering at iTunes Store

This is my first discussion even I'm not a newbie
I'd like to use my iCloud email to register at iTunes store, but I always got a message "Use your @me account to sign in" (I guess like that the message). When I sign in with iCloud ID at AppStore, there's another message said "This account hasn't been used with iTunes yet"
Thanks

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Are you trying to use @icloud.com to set up a new iTunes account? If so, I don't think that complete system has been rolled out yet. It will not likely be active until iOS 6 is made public. So as the system is telling you, you need to use @me.com for now.

HT204088 I have received an email with a receipt to my iCloud email for a purchase from a apple store in Perth Australia...it does not appear in my purchased list but why did I get the email

I have received a receipt to my email address from an apple store in Perth Australia. No purchase history on my iTunes account but clearly someone else appears to have given my iCloud email...has this happened to anyone before? Should I be worried that someone has access to my account and emails. I sent a query to Apple and received a generic non answer......typical.

The purchase history on your iTunes account will only show purchases from the iTunes stores (iTunes, app store, ibookstore, Mac app store), not from Apple online or bricks-and-mortar stores.
Does anything show on your credit card ? If the email is genuine then it's possible that your and their email addresses are similar and that they gave the wrong id (or the store typed it incorrectly), it doesn't necessarily mean that anybody has access to your account.
For the contact, you will initially just receive an acknowledgement email, the proper reply may take 24 (possibly 48) hours.

ICloud email for my Apple ID?

Hi
I have a gmail email for my Apple ID, I wanted to change the Apple ID into my iCloud address, you know, Apple email for Apple ID. But when I change it in iTunes Store, it says:
- I don't have MobileMe, I have iCloud, looks like they haven't changed it
I don't quite understand... I haven't created another Apple ID with my iCloud address. Anyone have this problem? Anyone knows how to solve it?
Thanks

HT204053 icloud email for kids?

How do i setup an email address for my daughters new ipad online, want to create an account before the iPad arrives?

An iCloud email address is created when the account is created on the device. The only way to created it ahead of time would be to delete the account from your device, create a new one on your device for her use, then delete the new account from your device (which will use one of the 3 iCloud accounts your can create on your device), sign back into your existing account and then sign into the new account on her iPad when it arrives. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches by just waiting and setting it up on her iPad when it arrives.

My password pops up everytime I go to enter my email for logging in to a website. This is a shared computer and regardless of that, I don't want my password appearing, unencrypted.

I accidentally typed my email AND password in the email box when logging on to a website. Now my password pops up everytime I go to enter my email for this website. This is a shared computer and regardless of that, I don't want my password appearing, unencrypted. I have cleared the cache, deleted cookies, cleared history, shut down and restarted the computer. How do I keep this from automatically appearing please?

Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

HT4864 setup non icloud email for use in icloud?

Is it possible to use icloud to check non icloud mail ie; my business mail which is imap typ .net account as well as my gmail?

You're unlikely to find many Samsung Galaxy Tab owners here. The Samsung Support forums would be a better option for help with setting up an email account. All the server settings you need are in the Support Article you came to this forum from - linked at the top of this page.

TS4002 I have not been able to access icloud email for 2 days.... any suggestions, tried 3 brousers, iphone, ipad, and PC

I have tried 3 brousers, iphone, ipad, and 2 seperate PC's, and can not access email on the cloud

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.

ICloud problem - no email for 20 hours

Hi, can anyone advise? I'm a journalist based in North London and have now been without iCloud email for almost 20 hours. I called Apple last night and they said they had a problem with iCloud/Mail for just 0.07% of their iCloud users (me included, presumably). My Web-based iCloud is okay, I think, but my Mac-based Mail can't receive/send anything. And my iCloud stuff (folders etc) has just DISAPPEARD. A bit frighting. And I keep getting this Alert: "There may be a problem with the mail server or networok. verify the settings for account "Cloud" or try again. The server returned the error: The connection to the server 'p02-imap.mail.me.com" on port 143 timed out."
Any thoughts? Mac Support is unavailable for several more hoursas it's 4.26am! I have tried to "verify" the settings but I'm also unsure of what that means - !
Thanks!
Adrian
