Problem setting up an iCloud email

I'm trying to set up an iCloud email on my iPad.  I typed in the email address that I would like to use.  When I hit DONE it says "there was a problem turning on your email.  Please try again later"
It's been doing this for the past 2 days.

Do you have an apple id? If not at bottom of icloud will say create a free icloud account and just follow the steps. If you already have an apple id you need to turn on notes or mail in icloud and it will prompted you to create a free @icloud.com attached to your current apple id. If you get error message or stop on a screen tell us so we can help. Also you can always check with apple because they make the apple ids, if you needed to. This webpage talks all about icloud accounts http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html. Also you may want to look at this article http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436 for icloud FAQ.

  • Problems setting up an iCloud email address

    I want to set up an additional email address, an icloud.com address. But the checkmark next to Mail is already checked, because I am signed in with my Apple ID.

    Each iCloud account only includes a single email account.  You can create up to 3 additional @icloud.com email alias address to use that are linked to your account and will receive incoming email in the same inbox as your main address, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.
    To create an additional email account you have to create a secondary iCloud account.  You do this by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...click the "+" on the bottom of the left sidebar, then click iCloud from the list to the right and enter a separate Apple ID.

  • Problem setting up an icloud email address on IPad

    Hello,
    I'm trying to set up an email on my new IPad.  However afetr choosing an acceptable (not already taken name) I get error message:
    'Problem Turning on Mail'
    There was a problem turning on your mail, try again.
    I've tried again but no avail.......
    Any ideas world.....?

    When I go to Mail, Contacts, Calendar, then tap icloud it prompts me for my apple ID. My Apple I.D is the the only thing I've ever used ([email protected]), i don't have a  dot me or cloud dot com account.  But when I enter my Apple I.D a message states as follows :
    [email protected] is Already Added
    The iCloud account has already been added to your iPad

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • Set up incorrect icloud email

    I have inadvertently typed in an incorrect icloud.com email address into my mini iPad having previously set up an icloud address on my PC and iPhone. Can I delete this incorrect email address as I am now unable to receive emails in my mini iPad?

    You are welcome! Great that it worked. By the way, you have marked that your thank you post solved the problem.

  • I have set up an iCloud email account in my name on my iPad and wish to set one up for my husband in his name. I can't seem to find how to do this. Am I only allowed one email address? If not can someone talk me through this. Thanks

    I wish to set up an alias address on my iPad. My iCloud address has already been established and I can find no way to get into my account to add any alias.

    You can create up to 3 alias addresses but you have to do this on icloud.com from your computer browser.  This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Also, incoming email to an alias address will go to your current iCloud inbox so it really isn't a separate account; just a different email address for the same account. 
    Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account.  If you really want to set up another, you would need to add a secondary iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then entering a different Apple ID to create the account.  You can then turn on Mail to create the new account.  Mail in secondary accounts, however, is fetch email, not push (which is only supported in the primary account).

  • How to set up additional iCloud email

    How can I set up an additional icloud email address? I already have an icloud account using my domain name and wish to set up an icloud.com address as well.

    If you haven't enabled Mail in System Preferences>iCloud then you should do so, and you will be asked to create an @icloud.com address.
    If you have already done this and have such an address you can add three more in the form of 'aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • Setting up new icloud email account

    Do I need to set up a new account and apple ID to get a new icloud email account?  Its askling me to set up my account so I guess my question is when asking to set up new apple ID, this is not the id and password I use to access itunes and things like that right?  Sorry, Im a little new to this

    Hey meharazim,
    Try turning off your iPhone, and then going to the Apple ID website to see if you can edit/update your information.  I'll include some information below inclucing a link to the Apple ID Support team if you need help straightening this out.
    Once you have the Apple ID straightened out, if you are still not able to delete the iCloud account, you may need to restore the iPhone as a new device.

  • HT4864 How do I set up my iCloud email account to also receive my outlook or gmail email?

    How do I setup my iCloud email account to also receive email going to my window pc outlook email account and also my gmail account?
    Thanks,

    You can't do that within your iCloud Mail settings, you'd need to forward the mail from the individual 3rd party accounts.
