New Apple ID with a new iCloud email address as the ID

Can you get an iCloud email address BEFORE you get an Apple ID? I'd really like to not use my existing Yahoo email as my Apple ID login.
Seems I have to use my old Yahoo email address to get an Apple ID because it's already existing.
If I have to use an existing email address, can I subsequently change my issued Apple ID login to the iCloud email address I would have created after I've got into my new account?
Thanks anyone.

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

I no longer have access to my old email for my old apple ID, I made a new apple ID with a new email. Can I transfer purchases?

No.
There's really no need to create a new AppleID as this will simply cause problems with multiple accounts.
Just update your old account with new info.

I have an email address that was used on one Appleid account and I have now created a separate Appleid for another device. Is it possible to transfer that icloud email address to the new Appleid account?

I had multiple iPhones and iPads associated with the same apple account and I have now created a separate account for two of them. The question that I have is whether there is a way to transfer the icloud email address to the new account?

Welcome to the Apple community 1960gmd.
Once an iCloud address is used for an Apple ID, you can't use it for any other.
Why would you want to use another Apple ID if you already have the address you want to use in another.
If you want your email on all devices but use a different ID for iCloud add it as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars and just enable mail.

Trying to connect my panasonic viera TV to my new Apple TV with a dynex 1080p hdmi cable but the hdmi option won't show up on my tv when I try to change the input.

Trying to connect my panasonic viera TV to my new Apple TV with a dynex 1080p hdmi cable but the hdmi option won't show up on my tv when I try to change the input. Any suggestions welcome!

Your profile claims Apple TV 2. 1080p is only available withe the Apple TV 3. Apple TV 2 is maxed out at 720p.
Hope that helps

HT201342 I don't see my new ICloud email address in the "From" drop down box in Mail

Have you tried signing out of iCloud in System Preferences and then back in?

HT204053 Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

Hi There
Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

Whenever you create a new icloud email it is an Apple ID, but if you previously had an Apple ID you cannot use the new email to replace the old one. You have to abandon the old accout and you will lose all the content you had with that account. But what I did was upload all my itunes to amazon cloud, these were the only purchases I had. I already bought books from kindle and I now rent movies from amazon instant video. Everytime I log in I use my icloud email and password. I just used it to sign in to support communities.
The notification that you posted about changing your Apple ID was present when I created my icloud email and made the change.

HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

Hi sparkie,
You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

Hope this helps!

How do i change the icloud email address on the iphone

How do I change the icloud email address on the iphone 4?

If that is your situation, then you need to do the following:
1. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (this is temporary)
2. You do not need to verify that old address since it is only temporary
3. On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom and click on Delete Account to delete the old iCloud account. It will ask for your password - type in your current Apple ID password
4. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new email address
5. Go back to the Phone to Settings>iCloud and sign on to iCloud with your new Apple ID

HT201320 can I have more than 1 icloud email address on the same itunes a/c

Can I have more than 1 icloud email address on the same itunes account? My husband wants to have his own @me email on his iphone but we don't want to have to set up another itunes account as all our devices are linked to our family itunes account. Many thanks

After you register, set them up as new.
Also turn off Automatic Download
Settings>iTune and App Store>AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS>Apps>Off

Changing Apple Id to be my Icloud email address?

I have been using my sky.com email address as my Apple Id but I am now trying to stop using that for anything. The apple web page for changing Apple Id will not let me use my icloud.com address as my apple id - it says it is an apple domain and that apple domains can't be used for apple ids. Is there any alternative to having two email addresses?
Also my IPhone (3Gs) does not like the icloud email address - when I try to set up the account it comes back and says it can't log onto the me.com imap server with the icloud address. Is icloud email compatable with iphone 3Gs?

JWBL, I am annoyed by exactly the same issue and there are more and more people complaining. See the discussion I created here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20844772?ac_cid=op123456#20844772
Roger, your point is that you should always have a non-Apple email address associated with your Apple ID so Apple can send you login information if you lose your password. That is certainly true. But it does not imply that that non-Apple address has to be the name of your Apple ID. And there is even a way to make an iCloud Address the name of your Apple ID: If you create a completely new Apple ID with the initial setup of an iPhone. But that is of course not an option if you already purchased stuff with your existing Apple ID.
It is not a major problem, but it kind of annoys me that I keep seeing my obsolete Gmail address everywhere after I switched to iCloud and it's just a ridiculous limitations I can't see any reason for.

My wife just purchased an iPhone. She has an Apple ID but it is linked to her gmail address. She wants to create her own iCloud email address but the setup tools don't let us do that.

I have aniCloud account apple id, linked to a MobileMe address (which I converted to an iCloud account)
My wife just purchased an iPhone. She has her own Apple Id -- but it is linked to a gmail address.
I wanted to create a new iCloud email address and account for her, but the Mail Setup won't let us use .icloud and keeps referring her back to log into the gmail server.
How can we convert her gmail address to an icloud address if Mail Setup refuses to let her use icloud.com?
One other issue: Her iTunes are linked to my account, and my wife would like her own separate account.

Actually, I want her to have a separate iTunes account. Our marriage is fine, but our musical tastes are vastly different That's another issue; right now want to focus on getting my wife in .icloud email address.
