My ICloud ID is a different email than my apple store email?

My email on my Icloud is different than my apple store email and it wont let me change my ICloud one?? help asap please!

There is no way to change your primary address of a other provider to your @me.com address, but you could change it to a other email address from a other email provider e.g. Hotmail, Yahoo!, Gmail etc.
If you want that your primary address (Apple ID) and iCloud me.com address is the same, then you have to create a new account and choose the option "get a free me.com address during the set up process.
On your iPhone/iPad (iOS 5):
During the set up of your device or in settings "Settings > iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > iCloud"
On your Mac (Lion/Mountain Lion):
During the set up of your device or in system preferences "System Preferences > iCloud or System Preferences > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > + to add an account > iCloud"

  • My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address.  I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email.  My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices,

    My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address.  I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email.  My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

    Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.
    Settings>iCloud>Sign Out.

    I assume you never got a solution. My own painful story is here:

    I've given up on Lion/iCloud. I'll try Mountain Lion.

    Thank you.  So it is ok to download the different number.  Also, someone just emailed me saying that iCloud is really not a storage.  Does one have to get SugarSync, etc. then?

  • Am I eligible for Applecare if I purchase an Apple product at a store other than an Apple store?

    Not purchased yet. Perfect condition. It is on sale in a store other than Apple and if I purchase it, would I be eligible to register it for AppleCare?

  • I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

    I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook.  After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook.  My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook.  Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh).  If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account?  It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

  • My Apple ID and my iCloud id are under different emails how do I change my iCloud email to my apple email

    help I have a new email address which I have changed on my Apple ID but my iCloud email is under my old email so can't sign in, how do I change it so my Apple ID and my iCloud id are under the same email and password

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and 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.

  • Different pricing in at&t store than online Apple store

    I just got back from the AT&T store where I was going to preorder the 32 gig iPhone 3GS as the online Apple Store said that I was eligible for an early upgrade. I figured that I'd preorder at AT&T so that I could head in at 7:00 AM on the 19th and pick it up with (hopefully) little hassle.
    The salesman brought up my account and said that I was not eligible for the $499 price, I could only buy it outright for $699. I asked why there was a discrepancy between the web and in-store and he didn't know. I got home a few minutes ago and ended up preordering online so that it will be shipped to me but now I'm going to have to keep an eye out for its delivery.
    Anyone else have this problem with the AT&T store not reflecting the online price from the Apple store?

    Don't trust att is all I can say!

  • Different ID names for Apple and iCloud

    I apparently created my iCloud account with a different email address than I did my Apple account. I thought I knew which email address I might have used to create the iCloud account, but I am not being allowed to sign in. I there any resolution to this?

    To make maters worse, I found something that may have been what I used as my log in, but now its says my account has been locked for security reasons, and when it asks to verify my personal information, the date of birth I entered isn't being recogninized. What the heck?!

  • Setting up imessage with different email account

    I am trying to set up my daughter's ipod touch to receive imessages via her email address.  This is different address than our apple ID.  I keep getting an error message when it tries to verify the email address.  Anyone having this issue?

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • ICloud doesn't like my email address?  HELP!!!

    I have an apple ID based on my email address, which happens to have a '-' in the domain name.
    I set up an icloud account using a different email address at the same domain.
    On the iPhone, I can't seem to set up a different apple ID for the cloud sharing. 
    On the mac, When I try to set up sharing for notes, it tells me to set up a me.com email address.  I tried entering my icloud address and I get a cuss msg:
    Your email address can only contain [letters,numbers] underscores and periods.
    You cannot change your icloud email address after creating it.
    How was I able to set up an icloud address that isn't acceptable?
    How do I get out of this mess?

    Now it's gotten worse.  I tried to back out of the icloud, and now my calendar is evaporated on the mac (it's still on the phone).  Notes and contacts seem to be OK both places.
    HOW DO I get the calendar to refresh on the mac from the phone?
    By signing your Mac and your iPhone to the same iCloud account, if you can't use your current ID for any reason, make a new account.
