Icloud email stopped, now in endless loop with icloud

Help! I have a Macbook pro, running, Mac OSX 10.7.5 and browsing with Safari 6.1.6. Earlier today my account started asking me for my password. So I attempted to go to icloud and it asked for the password it said that I needed to change the password. I did so and then went back to icloud and attempted again. It then told me I needed to change the password... ENDLESS LOOP! Argghhh... Someone please help!

I don't know whether this is confined to address book entries; I get the same kind of thing with calendar entries, but only on one of my Macs. I regularly sync an iMac G4 at home, an iMac G5 at work, and a PowerMac G4-450 at my daughter's house, and the PowerMac is the only one that has this problem. All 3 systems are running 10.4.10 and have tons of memory and disk space. All systems are set to sync with .Mac once per hour. I sync Calendar, Address Book, Bookmarks, Keychains, Yojimbo, and MacJournal. The symptoms are:
* The two iMacs stay in sync with no intervention.
* The PowerMac does not sync automatically as it is supposed to. When I sync it manually, I always get a list of Sync conflicts.
* When the Conflict Resolver comes up, it always has some conflicts in calendar or address book entries. I tell it to use .Mac for all similar situations, click OK, and then the Conflict Resolver eats all available CPU time and shows in Activity Monitor as non-responsive till I kill it.
I have tried using Syncrospector to reset the sync state, do a slow sync, etc. on this machine to no avail. Totally baffled... Anyone else see this or know how to break the deadlock?

My old appleID use email with domain already deactivate. So I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud with iOS7. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,

My iCloud Email stopped sending

About 2 weeks ago, my iCloud email stopped sending......
I use a PC and WWW.iCloud.Com.....   All my contacts are on the "cloud" not conneted to any other email account (AOL or GMAIL, etc).   Not connected to EXCHANGE or anything else, web ONLY........
The problem is on any computer including a MACBOOK at an Apple store, I can send mail without any problems from an I phone.   I've changed no settings at all.,
If I reply or create a message and hit SEND.... I get a box that pops up that says "Mail cannot be sent at this time"......
At the Apple Store one of the kids running around with an iPad (and enough TATS to be a full time biker) said without even thinkng "The servers go down, they are working on them now, they will be fixed shortly".   Enough knowledge of the company to make Mr. Jobs smile. Can't consider his answer seriously since he never looked or asked a question......
The Genious at the back of the store told me they only work on hardware and the web problems are beyond them....
I called Apple Support.... The first guy I talked to was pretty nice and really asked questions, etc. Couldn't solve it nor could he find a reference to the problem in the literature. He passed me off to his boss, another good one,   He did what he could and in the end he took a lot of info down to pass it onto the engineers who are supposed to get with me this week..... Tues Noon and still haven't heard from them........
So, do we have any suggestions? Someone else must have hadou this problem.   I'd trash the email account and start another but there are thousands of mails on it, its on my business cards, hooked up to everything on the web and it isn't that simple........
Thoughts? (Because you all may be next)

I have the same problem and it started about 2-3 weeks ago. I use a windows OS pc at work and it stopped working. I have a Windows OS laptop that I use at home. Both of these quit allowing me to send any type of new email or reply to any email sent to my me.com mail account. My iPhone still works great.....
Would Apple have made their iCloud proprietary to Mac OS systems?? Any help would be appreciated.

I used to get my email on the postage stamp, but with Icloud it is not happening

I used to get my email on the postage stamp, but with ICloud on my Iphone I no longer get my mail on the postage stamp.

Do you mean the red icon with a number in it on the postage stamp icon on your iMac?
If so that red flag with a number denotes the number of unread emails you have. If you have read them on your IPhone there is no need to flag them as unread on the postage stamp on the iMac.
I take it you get the emails on the iMac?

I accidentally in put the wrong email address when attempting to register with iCloud. As such, I can't verify the account with that email address because it does not exist. What should I do?

I accidentally input the wrong email address when attempting to register with iCloud. Therefore, I can't verify the account because the email address that I accidentally used does not exist. Can someone help me figure a way out of this because there does not appear to be a way to edit the email address?

try https://appleid.apple.com... enter the new icloud id, and try to edit the email address assocaited.

I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

I Changed my ISP and therefore changed my email address, which caused me to change my appleID. I had no problems making the changes to my appleID but now I am having problems with iCloud. My old ID is still showing as my iCloud ID and I can not see where or how to change this. I keep getting an annoying pop up box to enter the password for my OLD appleID as well as error messages that I can't back up to iCloud.
CAn someone please tell me how I can fix this so my iCloud works.
THank you!!!!!

Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

ICloud email stopped working with Outlook

Unable to receive iCloud email in Outlook - was working perfectly for ages and suddenly just quit.
When iCloud email is on, Outlook disconnects so Comcast mail won't even work either. I get a continual pop-up asking for the password for the iCloud email address, even though the password is remembered. If I remove the me.com address and have iCloud Control Panel setup email again, outgoing server works but incoming server does not.
Calendar, Notes, and Contacts are all still working with Outlook and iCloud. All old mail stored in iCloud/iPhone/iPad is unable to be seen on computer now. Very frustrating and annoying since all my old email is in iCloud.
All iCloud is working fine with iPhone, iPad, and iCloud online. Just cannot get mail into my computer where I want to read it as I work all day and want to have a copy stored.
Have searched for an answer and been unable to find this addressed.

Check the port and SSL settings as mentioned in the thread. A little tweaking should get you up and running.
I only changed the smtp settings... left the incoming server settings the same as they were.
outgoing server = p06-smtp.mail.me.com
outgoing port = 587
SSL = yes
outgoing mail requires authentication = yes

Icloud email stopped working with outlook 2010 after icloud 3.0 update.,

Hi all,
hope some one can help me out here...
I have had my icloud email set up successfully on my PC (Outlook) for many months, until the icloud 3.0 was released now it doesn't work. I have tried all the usual suspects, I have even gone to the trouble of uninstalling both MS office & icloud control panel then reinstalling them but to no avail. I have tried to manually configure the account in outlook but all I get is an error message "The server responded: 530 5.7.0 No AUTH command has been given"
please HELP?
my config is:
User Info     e-mail: @icloud.com - I have also tried @me.com
Server Info     IMAP
                    imap.mail.me.com     port 993 SSL
                    smtp.mail.me.com - also tried p06-smtp.mail.me.com port 587 TLS & SSL
Logon Info     User name - my primary @me.com - & i have also tried [email protected]
                    followed by my usual password, which i have not changed recently.
as you can see I have tried most of the usual combinations of problems & what others are experiencing but i still can not get it to work.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Firefox goes into an endless loop with blue circular cursor at various times when trying to load a file.

Firefox hangs up at times when I try to download a file. The hangup is evidenced by the Windows 7 spinning blue cursor going into an endless loop. The only way out if it is with "ctrl/alt/del". Sometimes I can cancel, and Firefox will be normal again, and other times I have to go on into "Taskmaster" and stop the process.

Similar problem. An Email includes a URL, clicking on brings up a message including "click here" to link to an additional site.
This bring up either the Windows7 rotating cursor and/or the message "stopped".
I copied the "click here" address (another URL) and pasted it into the IE8 browser, which succeeded in displaying the information. It worked, to my surprise but it is clumsy. Do I have to remove Firefox (3.6.6) and use only IE8?
Another system on my home network, using XP Home SP2, and FF 3.6.4 works fine in the same circumstances

Can Multiple email accounts on Galaxy S4 sync with iCloud & non-iCloud email?

Hello… has anyone successfully set up multiple email accounts (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T/etc.) on their Samsung Galaxy S4 Jelly Bean 4.2? I searched the forums and it has been said that configuration settings depend on the combination of wireless service provider + device model + email providers + Android version.
My S4 is from AT&T and if this scenario can't work, I have to cancel my contract in a few days (although that would be the last resort). From checking the forums, not everyone has been able to get the S4 to work with iCloud. In my case, I hope to sync up with iCloud and non-iCloud email which might be trickier.
Here is one thread that helps with settings, but doesn't seem to address multiple or non-iCloud accounts: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22435596#22435596
Some background info…
Although Gmail just works on Android devices, I plan to primarily use Apple/Yahoo/AT&T email (at least initially).
I don’t yet have Apple mail/iCloud, but plan to. I am partially switched to the Mac (Mtn Lion), but haven’t completed the jump from Windows.
I don’t have an iPhone (so hopefully that makes the setup less complicated.)
I mostly care about email on the S4 (I’m not concerned about syncing up contacts, calendar, music, etc.).
Apologies for the long post, but hopefully I’ve included the necessary background info for the questions below:
Is it possible to setup multiple (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T) emails on the Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T so that they sync nicely?
From the S4, if I reply to an email, will the Sender in the email reply be the same account which received the email? Or, (as I’ve read in the excerpt below) will the Sender for all email replies from the S4 be set from a fixed/primary account?
Although the first two questions above are the most urgent for now, I'd appreciate pointers if you see something that should be changed in the configuration settings below.
Thanks in advance!

After spending quite some time trying to get my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II setup with iCloud mail, this is what finally worked. Thanks to everyone for the various bits that helped lead me in the right direction. For those who need lots of detail, I hope the below helps. Please don't ask me about any other specific Android phones as I'm not expert but thought someone out there could benefit from my experience.
INCOMING SERVER SETTINGS
User Name: username (do not enter @me,com or @mac.com)
Password: (enter your password)
IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com
Security type: SSL
Port: 993
IMAP path prefix: p##- (you can find this by checking your account settings on your Mac. Mine was p03- so that's what I entered here)
Press NEXT
OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS
SMTP server: smtp.mail.me.com
Security type: TLS
Port: 587
check the box next to "Require sign-in" if it's not already checked
User name: username (do not enter @me.com or @mac.com)
Password (enter your password)
Press NEXT
Your phone will check the server settings and you should be able to see your email now.
And another poster provided these additional tips…
Definitely select SSL/TLS and accept all certificates
Now here's the zinger: Authentication should be LOGIN
After figuring this out, I finally (after many hours of searching and testing) got to my outgoing server settings, which are: smtp.me.com
NONE for security type
Tic "Require Sign-in"
Authentication is PLAIN
And another poster's question about the Sender's email address for multiple accounts…
Managed to get this all set up however, Android only seems to allow you to send from your primary address and only reply from your primary address even if a mail was sent to one of the other addresses.
Any ideas how to get around this as I have three addresses beneath my primary which I need to both send from and reply from.

You're unlikely to find many people with experience of configuring multiple email accounts on a specific Samsung device, here on the Apple forum for an Apple service. Try the Samsung forums for help setting up your Samsung phone.
There are a few posts with general info relating to setting up an iCloud email account on Android here if you search though.

How can I change my iCloud email address? I ended up with my wife's iCloud email associated with my AppleID.

I got a new AppleID for my wife today: [email protected] When I wanted to get her a [email protected] e-mail it didn't let me.
Somehow my wife's e-mail [email protected] got associated with my AppleID [email protected] and now I don't seem to be able to change it.
I thought my iCloud e-mail was [email protected] ...but it tells me that this email is associated with another AppleID. But it's not associated with my wife's AppleID, either...?
I had to change my AppleID email/username from [email protected] to [email protected] some time back. Could this have caused it?
I live in the UAE and therefore don't manage to get phone support. They sent me an e-mail with a link to re-schedule the call but it does not work. And replying to the e-mail of course also does not work as 'this e-mail is not monitored'.
My new macbook air is less than 90 days old. We have two macs, 4 ipods, 4 iphones, an appletv, two ipads and an ipad mini in the family. I am very disappointed that Apple does not seem to be willing to make an effort to help me out.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? Is there a solution other than getting Apple Support to do it? Or is there a way to contact them if you're not in any of the listed countries?

or http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html
the latter is best if you simply want to pass on your view - you won't get an answer but your comment will be read.

Mavericks multiple iCloud emails stopped working

The iCloud settings for my Apple Mail iCloud accounts have changed, not with any interaction from me.
Now only one of the four iCloud accounts I have attached to my Mail client is working.   I've had these accounts since the .Mac "Family Account" days and they're all active.
Also, an aside... my Contacts list was getting slow, and it didn't take long to find over 17,000 NULL contact entries in my Contact. Did something strange happen to iCloud last week?

Actually I have 5 iCloud accounts for this one user account.   All are configured under Mail, and have been working for years (if not decades ).   Most are migrants that've been moved through the .mac/.me/.icloud transitions since setting them up over time since the 1990's. Most of the 5 use the p02-imap server for incoming mail. One is on p25-imap.
What's changing at the moment is the "outgoing server (SMTP)" is being set to None for all the accounts. I can change them all back but two of the SMTP servers are showing Offline.
After resetting to the proper SMTP server account (there must be five, one for each iCloud account as the authorizations are different), two of the 5 email accounts under Mail are showing Offline SMTP servers.
Another change is I can no longer see all five in the "Edit SMTP Server List" dialog.   Only iCloud SMTP server appears in the pick list -- that would be the one that's correct for each account. This is how I can reset the SMTP server alignment.
It was truly a pain to add the last iCloud account to Mail after the Mavericks upgrade, so it is obvious something changed in iCloud Account Management with Mavericks. There's no way to rename the account from the front end, and I've not bothered to dig into the internals.
Data point: The two offline accounts both work on my iOS devices
Data point: The two offline accounts both work with Thunderbird email (and in Outlook email in one case).
Data point: I do have over a dozen other non-iCloud accounts working under Mail, so the SMTP list is similarly large.
The problem is most definitely within the Mavericks Mail client.

Songs that I had in my iPhone appear now in grey / unplayable with iCloud

Suddenly after upgrading my iPhone 4 to IOS5 with iCloud, I see that many of the songs that I had in my iPhone appear now in grey, and I cannot play them anymore.
Anyone has a hint why is this?
Thanks,
Carlos.

I backed up my windows Outlook contacts onto the Cloud, but was not aware that it would replace my current contacts on my Iphone. I'd like to get back to only my original Iphone contacts and change the cloud backup to my Outlook.
Thanks,
Dar
