No Password for iCloud email Freaks out iPad
Hi there,
I just synced my email accounts with my iPad 2 (current iOS). All went well except I can't get any emails from my iCloud service (Irony?). I have had this apple ID for years, and I used it to sign up for iCloud. When I signed up for iCloud, it asked me what email address I wanted for my iCloud email, so i picked one. At no time was I asked for a password. If I look at my iCloiud email account in Mail, I have no password in the feild, and it checks and retrieves my iCloud email, no problem. My iPad, however, won't touch my iCloud email because there's no password. I tried my Apple ID password. Nope. I tried to manually addiing my iCloud email to the iPad, after deleting the synced account,but it won't add an account until a password has been entered. What do I do?
Thanks in advance.
Malcolm
Fixed it by Deleting the entire iCloud service from my iPad and then signed in to iCloud from the iPad again.

How do I reset an icloud email password on my iphone? It is not my apple id password. I cannot see anything in the online support at Apple.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com to manage your iCloud ID and check to see if your @me.com address is associated with your ID. If it isn't you'll have to contact iCloud support to see if it is still active, and if so, how to associate it with your account.

HT2500 How do I reset password for icloud email?
The instructions do not seem to carry this simple need. I forgot my password ... and apple help directs me to enter it in order to change it?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I think you are not looking in the correct place. Your iCloud email address uses the same password as your Apple ID, so to reset the password, see > http://iforgot.apple.com -
I am so sick of entering my password for iCloud email.
I have tried everything including deleting the icloud account on mail and re-creating it. There times when that password prompt pops up over and over.
Please fix this apple! Its annoying! Not only that it does it with mail we have setup on our OSX Lion Server as well.
Thank you!
JohnFound another thread about the same issue.
Just tried following the instructions given there to "manually" add the "iCloud" account and not allow the system to automatically configure Mail by using the checkmark option in the iCloud preferences in the System Preferences app.
Follow the instrucations here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
Also refer to this Apple site for specifics as to what ports, server names to use as well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
Just did it on my Lion Server Mac and so far not seeing the issue happen again and now seeing the proper "imap.mail.me.com and smtp.mail.me.com" server names in the Mail configuration settings and not the weird "pX-mail.me.com" versions.
Also, you can run "Connection Doctor" under "Window" menu item in Mail to verify if there is a connection issue.
Good luck.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.
About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

I reset the ipad. hoping it would help. but still it needs password for activation. the owner already forgot password for icloud as well as password of the email since it was not used since 2011. help please.
Your sister can go to https://iforgot.apple.com/ and see if she can recover her password.
There is nothing anybody else can do. -
i have a 3g iphone. I dowloaded Icloud months ago. I have just today started getting popups on my phone to ...Sign in to ICloud... Enter the apple ID password for "my email address that i use on my iphone".
Is this a virus? And how do i stop this madness.How did you download iCloud with an iPhone 3G?
Accessing an iCloud account is not supported with an iPhone 3G.
There are no viruses that affect or infect iOS, unless you have purposely jailbroken/hacked your iPhone which removes all built in security included with iOS allowing you to download unofficial apps from unknown and untrusted sources which can include malware.
Don't remember where you access your Apple ID with the App Store with iOS 4 which is the latest version for an iPhone 3G, but have you checked there? If so, try logging out of your Apple ID followed by logging back in with the iTunes App Store. -
I want to use the same apple ID but I don't know the password for my email account to verify iCloud any answers?

My email (sign-in) and password for iTunes is different than my email (sign-in) and password for iCloud. How do I change my sign in and password so they are the same for both iTunes and iCloud without losing my iTunes content?
Hey Lakedrive442,
It sounds like you have changed your Apple ID which you use with iTunes. If so there are several places you may need to update it as outlined in this article.

Of course some might not apply, but many might.
Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

When setting up me new iphone - it is asking me for an iCloud password for an email address that doesnt belong to me - it is asking this info in order to retreive previously purchased items on itunes, etc. Help?
These are a couple different issues
The purchase issue means they came from a different Apple ID
You will need that Apple ID and password for those purchases
The iCloud account can be an Find My iPhone issue.
That could be the same Apple ID as the purchased or yet another one.
Once again you will need that Apple ID and password. -
I am receiving email that I should verify my password for iCloud but I can't see the link that I should start. HELP please!!!!!!
You select the desired file (tick the square box on the left of the file name).
You click on the "share"/"send" icon (the envelope with the arrow that points up and to the right).
You are presented with the share/send dialog.
Here you select the "Send To" choice.
This is done by placing a tick in the box beside either "Public Link (create a public link for anyone to view)"
OR
"Personalizdd Link (send email invitations to individuals)"
NOTE: The second choice is only available if you have a subscription to Adobe Send service.
So, for a free "Files" account in Adobe's cloud you'd tick "Public Link".
At the bottom left you'll observe the "Create Link" button.
Click it.
You are presented with a new dialog that informs you that the Public Link has been generated and that link is provided in a field within the dialog.
You can copy the link to a text file for future copy-paste into a post to a forum or bulletin board or you can provide the link to otheres via an email.
Be well... -
