    I'm trying to create a new ichat Acc because for some reason the old one is not working, so I go to Create an Apple ID and start creating a new apple ID, when I submit the Acc it tells me that my Email address is already verified for another Apple ID and thats the only email address I have... What can I do?

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

  • I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together, how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

    I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together so I can get all my songs!!  My computer crashed and I'm tryng to change everything over to my mac via my ipod classic and just Transfer old files.  It's ejecting my disc (ipod) so I figured I could just change my old Apple ID to be one with my new one.
    how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

    There is no way to merge two Apple IDs as all purchases made with each account are always tied to those accounts.
    All you can do to each account is change the email address for each one but they can't have the same email address.

  • Does .mac email address only work with MobileMe

    My subscription to MobileMe has expired and I can no longer receive email at my .mac email address.
    Does anyone know if you can still have a .mac email address without having to use mobileme.

    You .mac email address is supplied by Apple via MobileMe. If you have chosen to not continue with MobileMe, you no longer have a .Mac email address.
    If you wish to keep using Apple's email service, you must renew MobileMe.
    If you don't, then you'll need to get another email address from some other provider like gmail, yahoo, your ISP, etc.

  • HT5312 How to set a rescue email address when I already have an Apple ID and I forgot my security questions

    How to set a rescue email address when I already have an Apple ID. Actually I forgot my security questions.

    You won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • My email icon quit working. It says my username and password are incorrect, and I had not changed anything.

    My email has stopped working. It kept coming up incorrect username and password. I has not changed anything.

    Delete your mail account and create a new one.
    Sometime it's because the server is busy or down.

  • TS3988 I have changed my email address. I immediately updated my apple id and account info. my iPhone and iPad haven't accepted the change. How do I fix this?

    I am having problems getting all my devices and accounts to accept the new email address. every instance where the email comes up is being treated as an isolated case. iCloud won't allow me to update at all. This is the free first 5G allowance.

    Thanks Roscoe23 found your solution in another part of the forum. All good now :-)

  • When I log in to face time and submit my email-address I get the message that the email-address is already used by another apple id - what's the problem?

    after signing in in facetime with my apple id I'm asked to submit an email-address

    Hi and thanks again for trying to help.
    Definitely works ok from pc.
    Have deleted and re-established account a few times now but still the same.
    I have actually given up and added gmail account which is working fine.
    Sends and receives no problem.
    Bloody bigpond....
    We are not remote at all. Sitting in the fantastic Pavilion Hotel in Phnom Penh. Another couple here having trouble but not bigpond. Hotel staff have tried to help but to no avail.
    Giving up and stick with gmail until we get home then start trying to get resolution.
    Problem actually existed on a personal wi fi network in Melbourne before we left so I should have tried to resolve it then.
    Thanks again for suggestions.

        Hi there T&P63385!
    Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
    Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
    The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
    Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
    Let me know if you have any other questions!
    Thanks,

  • Cannot send emails from mac email address

    Over the past 24hrs I am unable to send emails from my ibook and sporadically from my iphone. Please advice what the settings should be for SMTP and port. I think this might be the problem but I am unsure. I have a mac email address. I can send emails from my icloud account. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Wow, after research I can't believe what a problem BT is!???
    This post by vanessa seems to have gelped many that could not send...
    Just set up my macmail with the help of the BT guys after a year of struggling! Hopefully this could work for others for whom the emails will receive but NOT send....
    Set up your 3rd party domain names via the mail relay system and confirmed via BT. Then try these settings.....
    In your @btconnect.com email set its up using these:
    incoming mail server: pop3.btconnect.com
    username: the bt email
    password: the bt email password you supplied
    outgoing mail: we'll come to this!
    on the drop down box next to Outgong mail server (SMTP) select 'edit SMTP server list'
    press '+'  button and add these details....
    In the Account information tab:
    Description: mail.btconnect.com
    Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
    In the advanced tab:
    Select 'Use default ports'
    Authentication: Password
    username: the bt email
    password: the bt email password you supplied
    NOW The next bit, the 'second' server....
    press '+' fro a new server add these details....
    In the Account information tab:
    Description: second server (or any name you want)
    Server Name: mail.btconnect.com
    In the advanced tab:
    Select 'Use default ports'
    Authentication: NONE!
    Now on all your email addresses back in the accounts section, set the SMTP server to 'second server' (or whater you hae called it) NOT mail.btconnect.com and select Use only this server.

  • HOW TO?: Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Need help setting up 3 different iCloud accounts for my kids (so each has own iMessanger)using same Apple ID (mine) ....they don't have their own separate email addresses to work from...how do I do this?

    Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account.  For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
    On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

  • Our old email address is still showing and it will not let us correct this on any of our devices. We are locked out and cycle through icloud requests.

    We got a new email address, and it appears that we successfully changed/updated our itunes/icloud account. When we work from our PC everything looks changed, and is obviously reading from our devices. However, all of our devices still show our old email address as the itunes store/icloud account and none of our devices will let us change this. It keeps asking us to sign in with our old Apple ID, but it won't let us sign in. We've tried multiple passwords and have tried to reset it, but that is not working either. Now, its cycling and keeps popping up...won't let us get to any other screen unless we shut off.
    I read the support questions and it said to make sure "find my phone" is shut down, but we can't even do that without a password. Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

    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.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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.  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.

  • Cancelling 2nd .MAC email address but keeping name as alias?

    I've got a .mac email address which is my primary email address. But I opened a second email address as a business email address. All the mail goes to the same account. But now I'd like to cancel my second email address and re-open it as an ALIAS in my primary email account. Is that possible? or is the second email address gone forever...
    I hope that makes sense... thanks in advance for any help.

    Bruno...
    devoted to this the @mac address so it is very important to get it working.
    Try resetting the password associated with your .mac account.

  • How to use .mac email address after upgrade to iCloud.

    HI
    Just wondering the following.
    I have an old mac.com email address..  Can I still use it in any capacity?  What I am thinking is to be able to have an email sent to my mac.com email address forwarded to my gmail account.  Is this possible and if so how?
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

    If you use iCloud in Mail, all iCloud mail will include the main address and all aliases. They show in the same account, but with the different addresses.
    If you use the main forwarding address in the general preferences of Mail at the iCloud site, then all messages to all iCloud addresses will forward to gmail.
    If you only want to forward one of the addresses, go to the rules tab and create a rule to forward the .mac address to gmail.
    You said: I am using gmail on my iphone/ipad so I do not need to sync my mail.
         Do you not want the .mac or .me account on your phone and iPad?
    You said: What I am trying to achieve here is just to have a mac.com account.  My concern is I do not want to get it confused with the me.com address.  Given that is it possible to have a mac.com email account that will work?
    Where are you using the .me account and what for? How do you want to separate them so you don't get confused? If you only want a .mac account, what happened to gmail?
    I'm sorry. It appears there is a minor translation barrier. I am not understanding what you need to accomplish and I'm getting confused.
    Maybe you could explain as simple as possible all what you want to show in Mail on the computer, iPhone, and iPad and what you want to sync together.
    Glenn I am sorry for the confusion.  The joys of email.
    I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do. Do you want the .mac address forwarded to gmail and not the .me address?
         Yes I want to forward the .mac address to my gmail account  The reason I have the .me address is because Apple forced this on me when I signed up for the icloud when it first came out.  They would not let me use another account. I would have prefered the .mac account but as I said I had no choice.
    You said: I am using gmail on my iphone/ipad so I do not need to sync my mail.
         Do you not want the .mac or .me account on your phone and iPad?
        I do not want either account on my iPhone or iPad for email.  I use my gmail account for my email.  I have gmail defined as an exchange account on the iPhone/iPad in order to push email to my devices.  I just want to have a .mac email address that people can send emails to.  My intention is to forward the .mac emails to my gmail.
    So I guess my problem boils down to how I can have the mac.com address (which is defined on Apple) forward any emails to my gmail account.
    I hope I am making this clearer for you to understand.  Maybe I am trying to do something that is not possible?  Maybe I am making this more complicated than it really i?.  The concept is simple.  Apple just makes it difficult to do it.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
