ICloud email name change

I got an email from Apple that I could get a new email address that ends in @icloud.com.  I already have an email that ends in @me.com.  Can I have both or do I have to choose one of the other?

You don't need to sign up for anything. You already have an iCloud account. You are being given an extra email address ending in @icloud.com that works with your existing iCloud account.
Emails sent to <[email protected]> and now, <[email protected]> all come into your existing iCloud account mailbox.
You are not losing anything, just gaining an optional, additional email address in your existing account.

  • ICloud email name change. Help please

    Is there anyway I can change an iCloud email address? Can I make another iCloud email address? I was setting up a new MacBook Pro for a gift to my nephew and I left out a letter in his last name. I need to delete this one or somehow add another. Any solutions for my dumb ***?

    You can create an alias (3 actually) and use that instead.

  • Why didn't my iCloud account name change when I changed my Apple ID?

    Why didn't my iCloud account name change when I changed my Apple ID (because I got a new email address)?

    It doesn't change on your device automatically.  To change the iCloud ID on an iOS device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 on your device, 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.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

  • HT202667 If I change my Apple ID, will my iCloud email also change?

    Today I went to change the email of my apple ID and it caused chaos throughout all of my devices. If I were to change my Apple ID (the email address), will the iCloud email also change?

    That depends
    Is your Apple ID the same as your iCloud account? Not ending in @iCloud.com
    Then Yes
    Does your Apple ID end in @iCloud.com
    No, you can’t change that one.
    Is the iCloud account account linked to your Apple ID not ending in @iCloud.com
    Then yes.

  • ICloud email name not being changed

    Every time I send an email from my computer or iCloud.com it goes out with my old name in the "from" box. I updated my name associated with my apple id a couple years ago but iCloud has never made the change and it is becoming a bother. Any suggestions?

    Mail Preferences > Accounts, select the account then the Account Information tab and change the alias to whatever you want to use.

  • HT201342 Can I change my assigned iCloud email name?

    I'd like to change my name in front of both @me.com and @icloud.com.

    You can't. The email given, is the same as the one you chose when originally setting up the account.
    If you want a completely different @iCloud.com email address you will either have to set up a completely new account under a different Apple ID, or set up an email alias: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • Why does my icloud email not change when i update my appleID? and how can I change it??..so frustrating

    I updated my email because I changed my name, and now i cant sign into icloud and it still wants the password for my old email. any ideas?

    Also, it's important to follow the steps in Change your Apple ID  when changing your ID. You're supposed to sign out of all of your accounts then change the name of the Apple ID then sign in using the email address. Because find my iPhone is a thief's worst nightmare the password will only be accepted for iCloud if the account is still called that current name. So if you changed the name of the account without changing the Apple iD you'll need to change the name back (on Appleid.apple.com) then sign out in Settings>iCloud, then change the name back using the desired email (on applied.apple.com) then sign in using the preferred email in Settings>iCloud.
    Cheers

  • The use of pseudonyms as the main iCloud iCloud IMAP / new iCloud email without changing Apple ID

    There was a need in a new email. My main email of [email protected] and [email protected] I don't use these emails. I created the pseudonym [email protected] and I want that [email protected] was the MAIN email of iCloud IMAP
    And [email protected] and [email protected] it is simple to remove.
    I am very captious person and if something is connected with names that to me very strongly hurts the eyes. Certainly I could forget, but what for? to me these emails the truth aren't necessary! I use [email protected] from it I write and I receive letters. [email protected] and [email protected] are disconnected in settings and for them only letters come. I want them to remove FOREVER from an account of Apple ID and to use one as the main [email protected]
    I ask you to help with this question.

  • Icloud email name

    any way to remove my cloud subscriber name off of all my out going email? why did apple do this?

    When composing an email, be sure the "from" is another address, not the .me/.mac account.  In mail settings, in mail app preferences, go to "Composing" and review "send messages from" to see which email account(s) is used when sending an email.

  • HT4436 I have an error in my iCloud email URL. Can I correct the error?

    Hi Apple family can I change my iCloud email name?

    You can't change and iCloud email address, but you can create and use an email alias with the name you want and email sent to the alias address will arrive at your current iCloud email inbox.  To do this, see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

  • How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    How can I change the account name in iCloud.  My email has changed and I want to change it on iCloud.

    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.
    To change the ID on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, choose Delete for all the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with the changed ID.

  • How can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??, how can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??

    hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

  • How to change the name associated with iCloud email alias??

    I had MobileMe on the iPhone with alias email addresses and I liked how it didn’t attach any “name” to an alias. For example, I had MainUserName, then for aliases I would have [email protected], [email protected], etc. When I sent an email from my iPhone using one of the aliases as the "from" no name would be associated with the alias email address. If it was the MainUserName then it would associate it, e.g. Main User <[email protected]> will show up on the "From" field when I sent an email. But with iCloud on the iPhone (and iPad), it’s Main User <[email protected]>, Main User <[email protected], etc., which I don’t want.  If anything it should be Alias 1 <[email protected]> or Alias 2 <[email protected]>.  Anyway, I don't want any name associated with the aliases, so when I send an email it will simply say [email protected] or just [email protected] with no name association. 
    It works differently if I access iCloud through a web browser.  If I send an email via iCloud on the web, I can customize and have a different name with each alias, e.g., Tom <[email protected]> or Harry <[email protected]>  And the customization carries over to the Mail app on my Mac.  That would be ideal if the customization carried over to the iPhone and iPad, but I'd be happy if there was no name association with alias email addresses.  Hopefully, there's a solution to the iPhone/iPad situation with iCloud as I don't want the name linked with the main iCloud email address linked with all the different email aliases I have.

  • TS4020 Can I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

    CCan I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
