Is it legal to use .icloud email address for your business?
Just curious about something..
We have just a small organization and want to utilize the .icloud email addresses and icloud as well..
Are there any legal stipulations for businesses to use Apple's .icloud email addresses?
Thanks Julian for your input.
The organization is basically a daycare/kindergarten with a staff of about 5. We don't really have a need for a business online image persay, well not like a fortune 500 company or others would need..
I basically had entertained the idea for shareable calendars on icloud would be a huge asset and since we are migrating to more apple products such as ipads and Macs in the classroom, it would be nice to streamline things with icloud..
So it's not so important to 'show' our email address as it is than to just be able to utilize them. However our day to day clients would use the new icloud email addresses, hence why I was asking if it was legal.
But regardless, your points are right and I can see alot of folks argue against such free email vs an isp hosted email accounts..

Why can't you use your iCloud email address for your Apple ID?
Why can't an iCloud.com email address be used to create an Apple ID? Is iCloud email not to be used as a primary email?
You can if you create an new Apple ID at the time you create the iCloud account, and choose to create a new @icloud.com email address as your primary email address when creating the ID. See Imp68's post here for an example of how you would do this on a Mac: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348.
You could not use your existing @icloud.com email address as it is already an alias for your existing iCloud ID; you would have to create a new one. -

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?
Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup. -

How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?
Hi there
How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
Is there any way of resolving this? I
Thanks
KelvinWelcome to the Apple Community.
Providing you aren't trying to change you Apple iCloud email address you can make changes at My Apple ID -
I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?
If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac. -
Someone in France is using my email address for an Apple ID.
Just bought my first iPhone 24 hours ago. Tried to create an Apple ID. Someone in France is apparently using my email address for their own account. Whenever I try to redeem the code on an App Store card I just bought, a message pops up that I presume says I can't use the code in France. Then iTunes and the App Store revert to French settings. I can reset the language to Canadian english on my laptop, but iTunes and the App Store on my iPhone remain in French. I've tried resetting my iPhone, to no avail. Very frustrated because I only get email support, and have to wait 24 hours for a reply. When I looked at my account, there is someone else's personal information, including credit card info. WHY?????????????//
You'll probably have to contact iTunes store support to straighten this out. They deal with Apple ID issues all the time. You can contact them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

How do i use existing email address for digital editions
how do i use existing email address for digital editions
Three possibilities.
1) If you already have an up to date Adobe account with associated email, you need to register it with ADE.
menu/Help/Authorize Computer (Library/Authorize Computer on the older more reliable v1.7.2).
2) If you already have an Adobe account/ID and have books that have been bought using it, then you should change the email associated with that account.
Login at the adobe.com website ('sign in' near top right), using the old email the account is currently associated with.
(Doesn't matter if this is no longer valid as an email address, it is still valid to access your Adobe account)
Choose 'My Information' on the 'Welcome' dropdown, enter your new email in the appropriate place, and confirm changes.
You will later need to validate that new email address by clicking on the confirmation email it will send.
Then follow step 1.
If you have an old account and the email is no longer valid and you've forgotten the password, try Adobe Live Chat to get access to the account again.
3) You need to create yourself a brand new account.
Click the 'sign in' and choose 'Dont' have an Adobe ID'.
Once you have established oe, go to step 1 -
HT1918 Why can't I use my icloud email address for my iTunes account
Tired of the cox communications inability to imap emails, going to dump it completely want to use the icloud email address I have, why can't I change my apple id to that email address
"Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
I noticed the following :
If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.

How do I get an iCloud email address for an iCloud account that is already set up?
When I set up my wife's iCloud account, I used her regular email address. Now, when I try to iMessage her from my iPhone (4s), I am successful when I am on a wifi but not via my cellular connection. I can iMessage other users. I believe this is due to her not having an iCloud email address on her iCloud account. I suspect that when my message is sent via cellular, it tries to go to her actual email address which fails. She is able to iMessage me regardless of my connection from her iPad (4th).
Does anyone know how to add an iCloud address to an existing iCloud account?
Thanks,
DaveThanks Jim. I'm pretty sure it is set up correctly. The only issue the ipad has is it dies not receive messages from my iphone when the iphone is not on wifi. She can send/receive imessages to/from others and from my iphone when it is on wifi.

Difficulty changing icloud email address for ipod touch 4thG
hi on the ipod touch how do you change the email address for the icloud because the area is greyed out, i want to change the address because the account was hacked and is unusuable now i have a new email address but it wont allow me to change the address
Welcome to the Apple Community.
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 > 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. -
Multiple ICLOUD Email addresses for multiple devices.......HELP
In our family we have an IPOD, IPHONE, IPAD, and another IPOD Touch. How do I setup additional emails under my main ICLOUD email address? I have created several but it won't allow me to link it to the mail ICLOUD account. I want each device to have their own icloud email but still be able to access all of my content.
Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account. You can create up to 3 alias addresses within the account, but they will all receive email in the same inbox.
If you want each person to have their own email account (inbox), and still be able to access the other iCloud data in your main account, you would need to create "secondary" iCloud accounts on each person's device. You can do this by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and signing in with a different Apple ID. Secondary accounts can be used for Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders. If you only want to add a new mail account, you can just turn Mail to On in the secondary account. The only drawback to this approach is that secondary iCloud email accounts only support fetch email, not push. Push mail is only supported in the primary account. -
How to create a shared Apple ID with iCloud email address for household?
I would like to create a shared Apple ID with iCloud email address that wife and I can share and access from separate devices? A shared household iCloud email address would be useful for email contact for creating/managing bill accounts for utilities, school for kids, bill pay etc… I currently have my own Apple ID on my MBP.
Thanks!
dlaronIf you mean that you would like to create a shared iCloud account with a shared iCloud email address and you already have an iCloud account of your own, you can do that by creating a new Apple ID (see https://appleid.apple.com/account), then use the ID to set up a secondary iCloud account on your Mac by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>iCloud and signing in with the new ID. You can then turn enable Mail in this account to create the shared email account. Secondary accounts are more limited than primary iCloud accounts, and will only sync Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders and Notes.
Once the account is created, it can be added to iOS devices by signing in with the ID in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud.
Or, if your only interest is in having a shared email account, you might consider just setting up a free Gmail account to share.
