Mail address question.

I have an iPad 2.
When I go to send a message via Pages, or Mail, or any other app that uses Mail and I want to send it to say myself, I type the first letter of my name and I get my address but I also get a bunch of other old addresses that aren't even in my address book anymore.
How do I delete those old email addresses like I can delete them in Mail on my iMac using "Window", "Previous Recipients"?  Is there something like that on the iPad?  I looked everywhere and can't find anywhere to clear them out.

I have the same frustration.  I believe that the only solution is to delete the mail account and create it again.  However, I have not yet gotten off my duff to try it.

  • Icloud mail address question?

    So I've tried to research the answer to this, but cannot get a straight answer.
    So my Apple ID is [email protected] and My Icloud account is [email protected] (both are the same) but my icloud email address to send and receive emails at is [email protected] (this was the same as an old email used as my apple id at the time that icloud was created)
    Is there anyway that I can change the YYY@icloud email address or if not remove that email address linked to my icloud account log in email [email protected] by creating a new icloud account with new @icloud email?
    I hope someone can help.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi labaker_05,
    iCloud accounts using email addresses ending in iCloud.com cannot be changed. See this article -
    Change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    You can change your Apple ID to any address, except an address used by another Apple ID. You can change the address of any Apple ID, except an Apple ID that ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
    Your [email protected] email address is actually an Apple ID (and iCloud account) that is separate from  the Apple ID and iCloud account using [email protected]
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I have an old Apple ID connected to a discontinued e-mail address.  I want to delete it.  I cannot remember my password and when I try to change the password using the security questions, it rejects my birth date!  I can't change it by cancelled e-mail.

    I have an old Apple ID associated with a discontinued e-mail address.  It keeps popping up when I try to update apps.  I don't remember the password.  When I try to change it by security questions, it rejects my birthdate!  I can't change it by e-mail because I no longer have access to the e-mail.  All I really want to do is cancel this old ID.  How can I do this?  Obviously, I have a new ID, since I am using this support community.

    You'll have to contact iTunes store support to see if they can help you with this: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

  • How can I confirm my e-mail address if I can't access my e-mails, which is what my question is about.

    You've just asked me to confirm my e-mail address as an e-mail will be sent to me. Since my original question was that I can't access my e-mails, how do you suppose I can confirm my e-mail address. I thought this was supposed to help me, not complicate my problems with Firefox.

    It looks as though you got through somehow. I replied to your actual question here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/954553

  • Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions

    Can I use my existing E-mail address to retrieve my password reset through security questions instead of through E-mail. When I try retrieving my new Apple password through reset through security questions?  On the Apple id, it will not allow me to do so becasue I forgot my security answers to the question. I'm naming one or two of the wrong vechiles which is what the questions ask me for for security questions.
    For icloud do you reccommend that I keep that same E-mail address or create a new one for my iCloud mail aside from my G-mail address name?
    I asked support community for the very first time to reset my security questions and it wanted me to create a new user name for iCloud when I already have *****l for my original Apple id.

    TheresaEW,
    I’d recommend contacting Apple directly to resolve your security question issue.

  • I don't understand the thing you call live bookmarks never used it, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address information when a reply has been made to the thread in question.

    So how do I get notified of updates in this forum? As I said: I don't understand the thing you call LIVE BOOKMARKS I have never used them, and most forums I have used notify VIA E-mail not giving out my E-mail address, or other private information when a reply has been made to the thread in question, so how do I get notified of updates in this forum? I have seen no normal options for setting my viewing preferences used for this forum. Thank You.

    If you are interested in the actual design data for the Xeon processor, go to the Intel site and the actual CPU part numbers are:

    I read that the CPU is easy to swap out but am sure something goes wrong at a certain point - even if solderedon they make material to absorb the solder, making your work area VERY clean.
    My Question now is this, get an 8 core, then replace with 2 3.7 QUAD CHIPS, what would happen?
    I also noticed that the 8 core Mac Pro is 3.0 when in fact they do have a 3.4 8 core chip, so 2 =16? Or if correct, wouldn't you be able to replace a QUAD CHIP WITH THAT?  I;M SURE THEY ARE UO TO SOMETHING AS 1) WE HAVE SEEN NO AUDIO FPU OR PERHAPS I SHOULD CHECK OUT PC MAKERS WINDOWS machines for Sisoft Sandra "B-E-N-C-H-M-A-R-K-S" -
    SOMETHINGS UP AND AM SURE WE'LL ALL BE PLEASED, AS the mac pro      was announced Last year, barely made the December mark, then pushed to January, then February and now April.
    Would rather wait and have it done correct than released to early only to have it benchmarked in audio and found to be slower in a few areas- - - the logical part of my brain is wondering what else I would have to swap out as I am sure it would run, and fine for a while, then, poof....

  • Question about iCloud. How do I change my e-mail address, I have the wrong one and want to change it.

    question about iCloud.  How do I change my e-mail address, I got the wrong address.

    There are a variety of options available to you, including creating an email "alias" or changing the email address associated with your iCloud ID.
    For all practical purposes your iCloud email address and Apple ID are interchangeable. To change your Apple ID read Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID.
    If you simply created an Apple ID in error, you might consider abandoning it altogether and creating a new one. On the other hand, if you already used that Apple ID to purchase iTunes or other digital content, don't create a new Apple ID, because any purchases you already made are inexorably linked to the Apple ID used to make them.

  • When i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add some security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

    when i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add three security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

    Thanks Liam. After the second ap download it asked me three security questions on iTunes and on my MAC it allowed me to set up these with no error on the third question. iPAD 3 now downloads apps fine.
    Apple really need to sort out this issue or provide guidance on this. Two days of the unit not really being fit for purpose - what use is an IPAD without the ability to download aps.
    Also NO Response from Apple via online tech support and it's now been nearly 24 hours - I was told by telephone support I would get a response within 24 hours or less, as also stated in the email response too!??
    It would be good to get a formal response from Apple on this rather than radio silence.

  • Probably incredibly simple question, so sorry. I have just changed e-mail after many many years and I want to e-mail everyone in my mac mail client with the new e-mail address at the same time.

    If you are using Address Book, open it, create a new Group, select all you contacts by click the top one while holding down the shift key and then select the last one. Drag the contacts to the group, then send an e-mail to the group.

  • HT5312 I've forgot security question and answer, how can I add rescue mail address and how can I reset my security question and answer?

    I've forgot security question and answer, how can I add rescue mail address and how can I reset my security question and answer?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • HT5312 What if my rescue mail address is not valid anymore and I forgot security questions?

    I felt a need to change my password for iCloud usage (After over a year and after getting new iPhone).
    Unfortunately, I truly forgot my security questions (I do not remember setting them up ) and what makes the story even worse:
    I do not use anymore the rescue mail address…
    Please advice how can I proceed to CHANGE my password?

    Best bet at this point is for you to contact Apple >  Contacting Apple for support and service

  • Just created a Firefox support account using my e-mail address as the username. Did not know that this would show up when I asked questions. Can I change my username? If not can I delete my account and start again.

    Basically, without thinking, I used my e-mail address as my username, and I don't want to get spammed because of my thoughtlessness. Anyway, I'd like to change my username. I picked a display name "TonyG" and thought only that would display, but both my username and my display name show when I post. If I cannot change my username, I would like to start over by deleting this account and starting a new account. Any advice out there? Many thanks, in advance.

    Since you have used your old Display name, it'll always show your email address in the forum for this question. When you post another question in the future, it should show your Display name instead.
    As I said, User Name is to be used to log into your forum account, the Display Name is what it'll be shown when you post in this forum. You can try to post a test in the forum to see if your Display Name is being shown or not.
