Misspelled Email address into Icloud
I have created a Icloud account but I made a mistake I misspell my email and for that reason I can not verify my icloud account. what can I do to enter the correct email? I tried to delete this account but it don't let me because the e-mail is wrong
Hi jm2670,
If you are not receiving the verification email for your iCloud account, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email
In particular -
Make sure that the email address is correct in your Apple ID account
If you're verifying an Apple ID email address, take these steps:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
If the email address listed in your account is incorrect, edit the address as needed. Apple will send another verification email to the corrected address.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

I have changed my apple id but when i try to log into icloud etc it lists my old id therefore my password is wrong as there is no such account now, how do i change this to show my new id and get into my account
To change the iCloud ID 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 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. -
How to change email address on iCloud
My email address was hacked into so I had to change it. Which caused me to change my apple ID also. Now I am not sure how to change my email address on Icloud. It still show my old apple ID. Do I have to delete the whole account an start it over? Not smart with computers and did not want to fight holiday crowd at the apple store for help. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Need to update email address for icloud
I cannot figure out how to update my email address for icloud
If your phone is signed into an old iCloud ID and you are trying to change it to a newer version of the ID, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device). -
How to use same email address on iCloud across different devices?
I am setting up my iCloud ID, which I already have on my MacBook Air and iPhone on my new iPad mini. When I turn on iCloud, it asks me to set up a new email address at @icloud.com, which I don't want it to do. Instead, I want to use the @me.com email address I already have.
How do I turn on Mail on my iPad mini and get it to pick up the email address I already have?Hey pdenlinger,
It sounds like you are signed into a different iCloud account on the iPad mini, in my experience that would be the only cause. Be sure to double check what Apple ID you are signed into for iCloud, we'll want it to be your @me.com address.
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436
When you setup your iOS device, by default the same Apple ID is used for iCloud services and store purchases (iTunes, App Store, iBookstore). However, if you want to use a separate Apple ID, you can set up the account you would like to use in Store Settings.
For more information on @me.com and @icloud.com, refer to this article:
iCloud: About your icloud.com, me.com, and mac.com email addresses

Thanks,

I have 2 .mac email accounts, one of them has a sub-address. Can I keep all 3 .mac email addresses in iCloud?
You will need to migrate each account seperately using the Move website, the alias will also be migrated to iCloud with whichever account it is under (the only problem with aliases, occurs when you have more than 3 in an account)
When you log into iCloud on the computer running Lion, iCloud will update your mail accounts for you, on the computers running Snow Leopard you will have to set up the mail accounts manually. Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You won't be able to use your iCloud contacts and calendars on the computers running snow leopard with Address book and iCal, but can access them from the web interface at iCloud.com -
How do I set up a 2nd email address in iCloud? When it was mobile me, I could have 3 addresses. Can I have 2 with iCloud?
You must be talking about email aliases. Log into icloud.com with a browser, go to the email page and click the cog wheel icon in the upper right. Go to preferences>accounts. YOu can define aliases there. Note that they must now be @icloud.com named emails.

HT202667 I cannot change prime email address into what WAS my backup email address. Any solutions?
Need to change prime email address into what WAS my backup email address.
Can this be done?
Mac 10.6 Intel Core 2 DuoHi michaelfromripley,
Thanks for the question. If you first change your rescue email address to a different email address, then you should be able to change your primary email address for your Apple ID. The following resources will explain more:
Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201356
Add, change, or delete the several types of email addresses you can use with your Apple ID account.
Primary email address
Every Apple ID account has one primary email address, and that address is your Apple ID. When you create an Apple ID, you enter the primary address to use as your Apple ID.
Your primary address is also the contact email address for your account. Check it regularly, because it receives email that you need to manage your account. For example, before you can use a new or changed Apple ID, you need to verify it as directed in a verification email that Apple sends to that address. Didn't receive the email?Rescue email address
A rescue address helps secure your Apple ID account against unauthorized access by someone who gains control of your primary address. If you have a rescue address, it receives all security-related Apple ID email instead of your primary address, including the email needed to reset your password or security questions.
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
Select “Password and Security” on the left side of the page. You may be asked to answer one or more security questions before continuing. Forgot the answers?
If you see a list of three security questions, your account has the option to use a rescue address.
Accounts that have fewer than three questions don't have and don't need a rescue address.
Accounts that use two-step verification don't have and don't need a rescue address or security questions.
Add a rescue address:
Select Add Email Address, then enter your rescue address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address. If you don't verify the address, security-related email continues to go to your primary address.
Edit a rescue address:
Select Edit next to the address, then enter the new address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address. If you don't verify the address, security-related email continues to go to your primary address.
Delete a rescue address: Select Delete next to the address.
Alternate email address
You can add one or more alternate email addresses for use with Apple services such as Game Center, FaceTime, Find My Friends, iMessage, and OS X notifications.
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
Add an alternate address:
Select Add Email Address, then enter your alternate address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address.
Edit an alternate address:
Select Edit next to the address, then enter the new address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address.
Delete an alternate address: Select Delete next to the address.
Notification email address
A notification address is automatically added to your account in certain circumstances:
If you have a rescue address and turn on two-step verification, that address automatically becomes your notification address. With two-step verification, you don't need a rescue address.
If you provide an email address with your shipping information when you purchase from the Apple Online Store, that address automatically becomes your notification address.
Your primary address receives a copy of all Apple ID email that Apple sends to your notification address.
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
Edit a notification address:
Select Edit next to the address, then enter the new address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address.
Delete a notification address: Select Delete next to the address.
Apple email related to your Apple ID account always comes from [email protected]. If you receive suspicious email, learn about identifying fraudulent email.

Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667
Learn how to change the email address that you use as your Apple ID.
In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already in use as an Apple ID. If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, it's already an Apple ID.
Use these steps to reset your Apple ID:
Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, App Store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your current Apple ID for these services.
Go to My Apple ID.
Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in. Forgot your password?
Select Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID, then select Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now. Didn't receive the email?
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your new Apple ID email address and password. When you see a message that verification is complete, you can start using your updated Apple ID.
Update the features and services that you use with Apple ID, so that each one is using your updated Apple ID.
If you need to change the Apple ID that's signed in to your iOS device, use these steps to sign out, then back in with a different Apple ID.

Can I create another email address with icloud.com. Like we can create few email on virginmedia or other provider
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
You can of course create additional iCloud accounts, but any one device can create only three accounts - after that it can sign into accounts created on another device but not create any more (this is tied to the hardware). -
I have typed in email addresses into Contacts, but when I try to do an email, most of them have an exclamation mark and won't let me send! Where am I going wrong ? It is really sapping my confidence!
Did you set up your email account info in Settings?
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Accounts > your account should be listed in there with the appropriate incoming and outgoing mail servers and correct user names and passwords. -

Hey Sblan2,
According to the following document, you are unable to change the iCloud email address.
from: Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID

However, one option you have would be to create an email alias:

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

HT204053 can I use more than one email address on icloud (using iphone and mac)?
I have an email account which seems to be using icloud, and I want to add another email account so that I can access it via icloud. Is it possible to have more than one email address on icloud? I have an iphone 5 and a macbook.
You can only have one email account for each iCloud account. You can create up to three alias addresses, but these will still receive email in the current account inbox. This explains how to create an alias if you want to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.
You can create a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your device by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and entering a different iCloud ID. This will give you second iCloud email account but it will only be fetch email (not push). Also, you can only create a maximum of three iCloud accounts on each device so this would use one of your allotted accounts. -
HT201342 how can i change my email address on icloud account, it is already changed on my apple id
How can I change my email address on icloud, I have already changed it on my apple id, but it still is asking for lmy old email and password and I can not back up or anything?
Hello RousePryor
If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.

How can I bcc an email address into a link - in Muse?
I have a contact button that I have a primary email address for but would also like to bcc my own email address into it also. How do I do that?
In the hyperlinks dropdown, I tried just putting the address I wanted to bcc in after the primary one (separated by a comma) - and preceding the mailto: of the 2nd email address with bcc so, all in all it said:
[email protected],bccmailto:[email protected]
Wild stab in the dark I know - can anyone help?Hi;
I am not sure about the question, do you want both an email and a single line of text to be part of the same field? There is a "Text Field" which is a single line, and an "Email Field" which is also a single line and only accepts data in email format, you could use these two fields, both could be placed on the same line in the form. Alternatively you could use a multi-line text field where an email and a line of text could both be entered into the same field but there would be no formatting validation (enforcing email format).
Thanks,
Josh
