New iCloud account has dads email adreses!!
i've set up a new apple id and iCloud account for my iPod. I used dads iMac to sign up and when i log-in to iCloud mail, although there are no contact under 'contacts', if i go to write an email all my dads contacts are there - how can i stop this happening??
Sounds almost exactly the same as my (sister's) situation.
Her "[email protected]" still works with both the newer formats (@me.com and @icloud.com).
But her "[email protected]" (which also worked with @icloud.com) has disappeared completely!
It is obvious this isn't an isolated incident anymore, hopefully Apple can get it solved soon.

When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?
You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'. When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone' Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted. This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

My usual Apple ID/iCloud account has been locked out. I tried the email link - didn't receive an email. So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc.. How do I get the Apple ID I want to use working again? Help.
Hi JkeeneSoldano,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
From:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

OK...now I appear to 'progressed' I changed my email address back to original on Apple id and then was able to delete icloud account.

Reuse an alias email address for a new icloud account?
In my family we are using an "Family" apply id as a shared family account along with my account and my wife's account. We were using the family account to share icloud content between my wife and I and our family iPad. Under the family apple ID I had also created two alias email address (lets call then child1.me.com and child2.me.com) which I had done a long time ago to "reserve" my preferred emails addresses for when the kids were ready to have one. Apple has changed things a bit since before IOS8 and I have begun to disentangle the family account as a shared iCloud between my wife and I and we are now running our own iClouds, though our iPad still runs using the family account.
My daughter is 11 and recently inherited an old iPhone. I had recently created her an apple ID by faking her age and using her gmail account (as Apple would not allow under 13yr olds to have an account). One thing I discovered is that she cannot access [email protected] account that is an alias of the family account so I started to dig into this deeper. Now that Apple has family sharing I thought I would delete the alias child1 and child2 accounts and set these up as proper apple IDs (as apple now allows this for kids under 13) with Family sharing.
I deleted my alias email addresses and tried to create the same as new icloud accounts (as apple does not allow the use of .me anymore) i.e. [email protected] and [email protected]. This is not working however. Apple is telling me that the accounts are already in use. My understanding is that .me and .icloud are interchangeable so my child1.me.com email alias should have prevented someone else from taking child1.icloud.com; correct? So it would seem that I am blocking my own icloud account creation even though I have now deleted those aliases.
Does anyone know when a deleted alias will become available for use as an icloud account? Also is there any better ways to achieve family email/icloud harmony as right now I am finding it a bit of a mess....
Thx.Do I found that even though I deleted my aliases I was able to add them back in ti my family account even though Apple states that you can. I could not add them as .me accounts though, they had to be .icloud but I was able to maintain the child1 and child2 components. I ended up deleting them again and just setting up entirely new icloud accounts.

I created new iCloud account but have not received email to verify
Set up new iCloud account but never received email to allow me to verify
Hi Sergei1447,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you are not receiving the verification email from creating your iCloud account you may need to resend it. Also make sure you are checking your junk/spam folders. Please use the following article as a reference.
iCloud: Account troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3988
I can't sign in to iCloud on my Mac due to an alert stating that my email address has not been verified.
If you can't sign in due to the alert “Account not verified - Check your email for instructions for verifying your account”:
Close and reopen iCloud preferences before attempting to sign in to iCloud again.
If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button in iCloud preferences.
I hope this helps,

HT204053 how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?
how do I transfer saved email to my new icloud account?
When you migrate a MobileMe account to iCloud your email is transferred to the iCloud server, including all folders on the server.
However your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (If not please amend it to prevent confusion.) Snow Leopard is not compliant with iCloud but you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email. Please see this page:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard -
My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used so I was never able to verify it or anything. I now have a new icloud account and I want to backup my phone before I get a new one in a couple of days. If I delete the old account will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone (remember they've never been backed up)? Thanks!
You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

I Made a new icloud account bc forgot my username and email and now I can't access bc says I have too many accounts on phone please help!
If the messages says the maximum number of accounts have already been created, you will not be able to create a new one on that phone. All you can do in that case is either reuse one of the accounts previously created or create your new account on a different iOS device or Mac, if you have one.

forgot answers for security questions, my apple account has updated email address but the rescue email address for account is old and not accessible - do not know how to update that address so i can authorize new devices...
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support. -
