PC iCloud Mail and 'Parent Approval' on child purchases.

Hi, I'm running Windows 7 Premium, I've installed iCloud and I can see all the various iCloud applications in my 'Applications' window.  I attempt to login to iCloud mail, and the login page appears, I enter my login information (that works on my iPad) and the screen then indicates "Connection Error".  Yes, I do have internet connectivity.  I've reinstalled the software twice with no luck.  In short, I cannot login to iCloud mail on my PC - but I can if I switch the user profile on my daughter's iPad to mine, and access the mail icon there.
Secondly, my original iTunes account was linked to an '@shaw.ca' email account and this is my AppleID (yes I have a newly created icloud ID for parental supervision over my daughter's purchases on her iPad).  I'm venturing a guess that because the '@shaw.ca' AppleID is used for purchases, etc... that all her parental requests have been going there - except I never receive a request and I can't seem to approve her purchases.  Does this only work within icloud account ID's (I'm guessing)?
Assuming this is the case, how can I convert all my existing content over to my icloud ID?  Then again, I'm concerned because iCloud doesn't seem to work on my PC.  The applications look pretty slick if you're an 'APPLE only' family - which we're not.  At this point, I'm ready to return the iPad to the store and buy a different tablet from a company not set on global domination.

Thanks for your input.  And your suggestion about read-only access was one I tried but didn't meet the needs of keeping our calendars together.
However, I think that I may have solved my challenge quite by accident.
Before I installed iCloud on the PC I turned on iCloud on her iPhone and mine, then I turned on iCloud on both of our IPads and verified that any entry on any device propogated to the others.
I then installed the control panel for iCloud on the PC and found my challenge of either all from outlook or nothing; calendar, contacts, and tasks.  Having experienced challenges with a previous try I did not want to sync contacts, so I left everything unchecked.
I had previously be doing syncs with itunes and outlook and when I went back in to do another sync I discovered that doing a sync updates my pc calendar without using the iCloud application and since all 4 devices are synced via the iCloud, I can make changes on any device and they will show up on all others.
The only drawback is the PC must be synced through ITunes before any changes show up but I can live with that.
Regards RLW

  • What is wrong with icloud mail  and how do I fix it?

    What is wrong with icloud mail and how do I fix it?
    I put the icloud mail login address in the browser, it brings up the login screen.
    I put the login details in correctly, it says icloud has stopped responding, I always send to Apple.
    It restarts and  I get the right screen, below, but all of the icons are blurred out. If you hover over them they sometimes indicate what they are but won’t let me launch them.
    I am using an Advent Laptop with a Celeron processor with Windows 7 and the browser is Internet Explorer  11 for Windows 7.  (I know I am expecting  a lot of it). All of my software is up to date.
    Any ideas? I a not very techy but I'm not afraid to have a go...it communit question. Thanks fr your help.

  • Will iCloud mail and calendar sync still work after upgrade to iCloud drive?

    on my imac and ipad i was asked to upgrade iCloud to iCloud drive. will my iCloud mail and calendar still work on my iphone 4 with iOS 7 after i choose to upgrade?

    Yes.  iCloud Drive doesn't effect synced data such as calendars, contacts, notes, etc.  It also has nothing to do with iCloud email accounts.

  • HT201342 How do I change the 'Full Name' on my iCloud Mail (and on my Apple ID as I think this is where it gets the name)? Thanks

    How do I change the 'Full Name' on my iCloud Mail (and on my Apple ID as I think this is where it is getting my Full Name? Thanks

    To change it on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
    To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the top right and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

    Is it possible to create a new iCloud account and permanently transfer existing store purchases to it?

    Thank you for taking the time to try to answer my question. Let me phrase it slightly differently...
    I have a very old appleid that I've used for store purchases. I had a MobileMe account that was upgraded to iCloud. I'd like to merge the account data. I've been hoping Apple would come up with a solution to this, but they haven't yet.
    So, I'm wondering if I should make a new account of some sort and try to transfer data to it from both of the old accounts. It sounds like that can't work.
    I suppose then that the only thing to do is manually transfer all the information from the old MobileMe account to the primary appleid (which is some sort of iCloud + Store combination, no?). That might not be that hard to do, but it is somewhat high risk.

  • How to receive emails on both, icloud mail and hotmail

    Hello
    I use my hotmail account as my Apple ID (since im not able to use my icloud account(@me), and to only have 1 account for everything on Apple),
    and i use my icloud account (@me) for Mail.
    When i receive mails from especially Apple (for example, some one comments on this question) then i only receive a mail on my hotmail account,
    which is bad because i dont check it often, since ive almost totally moved to icloud.
    My question is: What do i do, to (also) receive these kind of mails on my icloud(Mail) ?
    Sincerely

    Do you have any idea of how i do that?
    I've been looking around Hotmail.com(which is now Outlook.com) but havent found it.
    I would appreciate if you could give me some clues..

  • ICloud mail and Windows RT 8.1

    I've checked and used ALL instructions which describe different ways of using iCloud mail on a Windows RT 8.1 tablet.
    I've got following results:
    Standard Windows RT Mail client
    can't configure icloud mail at all (both using pxx-imap.mail.me.com/pxx-smtp.mail.me.com and just imap.mail.me.com/smtmail.me.com)
    Outlook 2013 on Windows RT
    SMTP - I'm able to connect to SMTP server pxx-smtp.mail.me.com (with port 587 and TLS enabled) and can send a test message
    IMAP - I'm not able to connect to IMAP server (both pxx-imap.mail.me.com and imap.mail.me.com) with port 993 and different security settings: "None", 'TLS", "SSL" or "Auto". Though different security options give different failures:
    With "None" enabled I'm getting an error from server saying, that I can't connect withou encryption
    With "SSL" enabled I'm getting an error "Connection timeout expired"
    With both "TLS" and "Auto" I can't get any errors at all - Outlook 2013 is trying to connect to IMAP server forever and is nether connecting neither dropping connection
    Obviously, I can't install iCloud for Windows (since there is no iCloud application for Windows RT).
    P.S. I've found an advice to remove any special characters from password, but I suppose, this is not the case, because I can connect to SMTP server, so the password is OK.
    Since Windows 8.1 is rather strange OS, I've tried another non-Apple device (android phone) and get the same results as with Outlook 2013.
    So my question is: is it possible to use iCloud mail with non-Apple device (and if the answer is "yes" - how should I set things up) or it is really impossible (and I should probably exchange my Surface RT for a new iPad) ?

  • Has anyone had recent issues with iCloud mail and Outlook 2011?

    Two days ago without warning when sending an e-mail from Outlook 2011 from a MacBook Pro running 10.8. (Have a .mac account), I had an error pop up, see below.
    Tried entering the password but the same error popped up. Thought there might be an error with the keychain so verified and ran a repair. Still the error continued. I checked that the password was still working and logged into iCloud. I then launched Mac Mail and this worked fine and so also my iPhone / iPad etc. Nothing I did made it possible to send e-maills from my .mac account although I could receive them.
    For the last couple of days I have been using my MacBook AIr for sending mails for the same account via Outlook 2011. This has been working fine all day until 25 mins ago when the same error message popped up on this Mac too. Went through the same set of tests and again Mac Mail works and so does the password.
    Have tried to Google for a solution but can't find anything relevant. Could this be Microsoft trying to cause problems for Apple users, some rogue update, iCloud security certificate issue, or something more sinister. Any suggestions for a fix gratefully received, as currently I can't use Outlook 2011 on either Mac.

    Hi guys!
    I am also having big trouble syncing my iCloud acc. I am able to send email, but i cannot recieve any. I have tried almost everything. I have tried using p01, p02, p99 servers, without solving the problem. I have tryed typing "INBOX" and "/" in IMAP root, still not working. Have anyone got a solution?
    I am using:
    OS X 10.9.1
    Outlook 2011 for mac v. 14.3.8
    I really hope someone has got an answer!
    Sorry the text in the screenshots are in danish. I hope you get the idea anyway.

  • Cannot activate iCloud Mail and Notes

    Hello,
    I just bought a new 13" Retina MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I set up my iCloud account and everything works except Mail and Notes.
    Do you have any idea on how to fix this really annoying bug?

    Migrated from @me.com (when iCloud was released). I tried to disconnect/reconnect and log in with @me.com. No success so far.

  • ICloud Mail and other Email Accounts

    I searched the discussion and I couldn't find a solution to my problem so I am hoping that someone on here has found a way to fix this iCloud issue.
    On my MobileMe account that I had before iCloud I had the mail set up to access all of my other Email accounts (6) in total. worked great never had a problem and I had one source for all of my Emails. I understand this is not the way iCloud works but here is my problem.
    I migrated my MobileMe account to ICloud and for some reason it still kept accessing all of my other Email accounts and consolidating them in my ICloud mail. (no I do not have the other accounts set to forward to iCloud, iCloud was accessing them and downloading the messages.) Now about a week ago that all stopped. When I checked on the discussions here I realized that iCloud was not suppose to work with the other Email accounts but for some strange reason it did for a while. That is fine, I then setup all of my Email accounts on my iPhone, iPad and Mac as IMAP accounts and everything was working fine again.
    Today for some unknown reason iCloud is accessing my accounts again and I just received hundreds of unread Emails (the last few days worth) from my other Email accounts. I understand there is no way to access your Email settings on iCloud but has anyone had a simialar problem, and if so how the heck do you get that link to the other Email accounts out of iCloud mail. I am considering just cancelling or deleting my iCloud account and setting up a new one if I can't find a way to fix this, it maybe my only option.

    I'm having the same issue and it's driving me nuts.
    For those who don't understand the question, here's the deal.  Prior to the unveiling of iCloud, MobileMe users had a feature available of pulling email from other, non-MobileMe pop accounts into their MobileMe inbox.  There was a setup screen under preferences within MobileMe that allowed you to specify the server, username, password, etc for non-MobileMe accounts.  Once set up, the incoming email from those account(s) would be delivered into your MobileMe inbox.  Forwarding did NOT need to be set up in the other accounts (in fact, if it was, you'd get everything twice).  Once set up, you could even color code incoming messages based on which account they were delivered from. 
    I personally set up three other email accounts this way as it was convienet to check all my email in one in box.  Nice.
    So.... here's the issue.  When MobileMe migrated to iCloud, the FUNCTION described above migrated over too and REMAINED IN EFFECT, but the ability to MANAGE THE FUNCTION and modify the other accounts went away.  So, anyone who had other email accounts set up (like I have) is still receiving email from those accounts into our iCloud inboxes, but we have no ability to manage those other accounts.  If you want to stop the delivery of email from one or more of the other accounts, you can't.  If you want to adjust the settings of any of the other accounts, you can't.  If the username or password for one of the other accounts changes, then the delivery breaks and you can't fix it.  You can't influnce how this feature behaves at all because the settings interface has been taken away.
    It's extrememly frustrating to have a "feature" active that you can't manage or turn off.
    Hey Apple... HELP!

  • Has any Coldplay fan lost purchased content within iTunes, I have recently noticed my Coldplay Live 2012 purchased on iTunes is gone from my iCloud library and no longer available for purchase ! A bit strange considering there new album just went on sale

    Recently I have noticed my iTune purchased concert movies after being put back in the cloud are currently missing.
    I have never had purchased content from iTunes vanish from my iCloud library and also not be available for purchase on iTunes.
    When I had Apple personnel attempt to push the content back to me, they could not find Coldplay's Live 2012.
    Even more strange considering their new album just went on sale and renewed interest must be prompting fans to review their collections.
    A beautifully shot concert film is missing, a sad situation to be sure!
    Thanks for any iCloud wisdom and other fans noticing the same thing.

    Also, iCloud keeps forgetting my password on iphone and makes it unable to collect email...
    Any thoughts?

    Yes, fortunately it suddenly started working again. I'm not really sure what (if anything) I did. In any case I used the password reset function on http://iforgot.apple.com/ a few times, maybe that's what fixed the problem in my case.

  • How to create @icloud Mail and use it as my Apple ID

    My current appleID is @aol email address I used first for my iPod and iTunes but now I have iPad and iPhones and want to create an @icloud address as primary and also use it as my new appleID instead of the one I use now. Never had any @me, @mac or @icloud before, but I've read switching apple IDs may be tricky. Your advise is very welcome. Thank you.

    You can't change the ID/login address on your Apple ID to your @icloud.com address if you already have one.
    However you can create a new Apple ID and iCloud account using a new @icloud.com address if you follow the procedure outlined here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
    You can only create an @icloud.com address: new @me.com or @mac.com addresses can no longer be created.
    You would need to keep the existing ID for iTunes as purchases cannot be transferred - there's no problem about having different logins for iTunes and iCloud.

Maybe you are looking for
