Problem transferring email addresses to IPhone 4

IPhone 4 new user - can not get Yahoo & Google email addresses transferred to IPhone from Macbook

When I purchased the IPhone the AT&T folks copied the phone numbers from the sim card to the contacts folder on the IPhone, I can access both Gmail and Yahoo mail fine, but when I attempt to send email I cannot access my email addresses that I have set up for both Gmail and Yahoo - I can type in the email addresses and send or reply to email and send - both work fine - the problem is in accessing the email contact lists with email addresses - my cell phone contacts were some of the same names but no email addresses. I went to ITunes and went through the sync procedure but none of the IPhones settings panes described in the IPhone User Guide showed up - ITunes gave several messages indicating step 1 was complete, then step 2 and after one or two more similar messages stated the syncing was complete. Not sure what to do at this point.

Problem Transferring email address to new home

I have had BT broadband for 10 years - everyone I know has my BTinternet.com email address. I have stuck with BT despite several trials when moving home, and generally am happy with the service I have had. So much so that I recently signed up my partner to have BTbroadband in her home. Now we have made the decision to move in together, but find that I am completely stuffed when it comes to keeping my email address - I have to pay £1-54 per month for the privilege!
BT say that if I cancel my account for telephone i will lose my email address. BT say if my parner cancels her account she will lose the phone umber (and won't let her cancel because she has only had the account for a month in any case! BT say I cannot transfer my email address to her account even though they are both BT, as they do not permit email addresses to be transferred between accounts!
Why on earth do they persist with this archaic process. How many people move in with each other every year, and how many of them would have BT accounts. Surely it is easy to transfer email addresses between accounts, as it happens all the time when people move house. If I agree and my girlfirend agrees, surley that is all that is needed to move an email address.
Is this BT just being blooming awkward or is it a money making scheme to get people to pay for premium mail. Why can't I keep my email address without having to pay £18-50 per year!!
Very furstrated of west sussex!

They can move old primary accounts and sub accounts to another account. They've done this for me, free of charge, in the past. If you can't get any help from the helpdesk then click here to contact the mods.

Change iTunes account Email Address on iPhone

Hi,
I have read a lot of posts in here about this but none seem to fix my problem.
I have changed my email address in iTunes account. I have synced iTunes with my iPhone.
But when I try and buy something my old email address appears on the iPhone iTunes store and it won't let me buy anything.
How can I change the email address the iPhone uses for purchasing things?

I accually called them and was on the phone for like two hours trying to fix it. Do you have an apple id? if so you can use that to buy a free song and then synce the phone and then after that try to buy something and your apple id name should come up. I was using my aol email address and then for some reason it stoped working and I couldnt bye anything. I did that and now I can buy stuff again..hope this helps

Change icloud email address on iPhone 4s

My itunes and apple store accounts had no problem changing email addresses, but I can't change my icloud account email address on my iphone 4. I no longer have that emIl address and need to change it. Any ideas? Thanks!

You have to delete the account: Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup again with your new ID.
First: turn off iMessage, FaceTime, & Find My Phone, then contacts, calendars, etc., for your existing iCloud account. For contacts, calendars, etc., you'll be prompted to keep the data on your phone, or delete it. Your choice.

How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages

How do i import outlook email addresses to iphone and send as a SMS text messages?

You can send a message through an email gateway so that it appears as a text on someone's phone. However, it's not their regular address. For example, for a Verizon customer, it would be [email protected] Perhaps that's what you're thinking of?

I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated email address on iphone 4

I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated to the new email address on iphone 4

Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

How do I send photos from a message/iMessage to an email address? iPhone used to be able to do that, not anymore with iOS 7 apparently.

Here's what I know I used to be able to do with my iPhone: I could save an image I received in a text message to my photo gallery so that I could still see the image long after the message was gone. It literally showed up along with all of my own photos.
I also want to say that I used to be able to send an email from the text message app. I can't remember how, but I remember forwarding messages to people who, say, I didn't have a phone number from and therefore could only recieve email from me.
However, now I can't do any of this.
I have photos I received in an iMessage that I want to send to my iMac OR forward via email to my Gmail account.
I can't do any of it.
If I use the new selection mechanism and check all four images and hit the "share" arrow, all I get to do is send another text message. If I type in an email address for a recipient, it doesn't let me hit "send".
If I use the old fashioned selection system in which you drag the box arond the four images in the text message, I can "copy" that selection, quite the text message app, open up the Gmail app, paste the selection into a new Gmail and I see the four images. But when I send that gmail and receive it on my iMac... no images are present.
How do I get images sent via text messsages saved and/or forwarded to an email address?

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

Need an email address of iphone officials to ask for a replacement paper

Hello from Turkey, while i was in the US i went to apple store for my pixel problem and they offered me to change my iphone with the new one, i changed it.How can i get a paper which indicates that i changed it, with the new and old IMEI numbers on it. I need that paper in order to change my old IMEI number with the new one to be able to use my new iphone in Turkey. If anybody has an official iphone email address please write it down to help me and the others who needs it, thank you in advance. cheers

The Apple Stores do not have public email addresses nor does Apple technical support. If you need a copy of the service order that shows the exchange, you will need to call the Apple Store and ask, or perhaps try calling US Apple technical support; 1-800-694-7466. You'll have to use one of the various methods for calling a US 800 number from outside the country; Skype, for instance.
Regards.

TS3899 Cant delete email address from iPhone

I added an email to my iPhone by following a link that was text messaged to me for work. It did not set up the email properly and to retry GoDaddy says i need to delete the email account from my phone......problem is...there is no delete option at the bottom like there is for my other email accounts. Maybe because this one came from a link that prepopulated the data...and do it wrong which is why It doesnt work!

it appears as a pop-up when I start typing in the "to" area within Mail. It is NOT in my contact list, and I simply want it to go away.
The only way to remove those address is restore the phone as new. Probably not worth the hassle.

MSN email address on iPhone?

Are the settings still the same if you have an MSN email address ([email protected])? I tried the hotmail settings posted but it's not working properly.

I have a similar problem with netadress.com. It started after one of the 4.2x updates. When I delete email using the WEB interface, the items are not being deleted from the iPhone inbox. This used to work before 4.2 and have tested on another phone that still had 4.1 which works fine. If I delete on the iPhone, the WEB interface shows the item deleted properly. In fact, even reading on the server does not update the iPhone inbox, which still shows "unread".

How do I remove a suggested email address on iPhone when the suggestioned address DOESN'T have a blue i next to it?

I want to remove some email addresses from the list of suggested email addresses which appear in iPhone's Mail app.
All of the ways I've found so far to remove suggested email addresses involve clicking on a blue arrow or i next to the suggested name. However, the suggestion(s) I want to remove have nothing on which to click. How can suggested addresses be removed without something to click?

Here's the solution (it's what you suggested):
If the old email address is in the contacts no blue circle i appears. The blue circle indicates it is in recent but not in contacts.
You need two step procedure:
1. remove email from contacts (try doing a Search for it if necessary);
2. and then remove from recent by starting a new email, starting to enter email address (which brings up the Recent suggestions), then click on the blue circle i (which should now be there because you removed email address from Contacts), select Remove from Recent).

Transferring email addresses from one account to another

I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this but after spending a good bit of time on the phone with FiOS customer service and technical support I just feel like venting my frustrations and hope that maybe someone could give me a valid explanation of why this cannot be done.
To give a brief (hopefully) summary of what's going on...
My wife and I are currently in the process of moving from Florida to Maryland because of the current job market and economy situation. As always...the moving process has been a "blast". For at least a few months we will be "between" homes and will be staying with friends. Because of this we had to cancel our FiOS service (which I did last week and it will be shutting off sometime today). Since we've been very please with the actual service FiOS provides we have (or maybe I should say "had") every intention of signing back up with Verizon once we're in a new home in the Maryland area.
So here's where the trouble comes into play...I contacted Verizon to see if it would be possible to somehow transfer our existing Verizon.net email addresses from our account to my friend's account (the person I'm staying with). You would've thought I was asking for a year's worth fo free service. Initially I was told by customer service that this can't be done. They explained that an email address is like a phone number and two separate accounts cannot have the same email address. Thanks for the newsflash! I explained again that what I wanted to do was move my email addresses so they would now be associated with my friends account. This didn't seem like such a horrible request considering my friend pays for FiOS service and with that gets 9 available email addresses....and was only using 2 of them. She ultimately just told me it was something that couldn't be done. But she did inform me of the "Verizon Your Domain" service that would allow current FiOS subscribers to associate their Verizon.net email account with a new domain name that you create. It would cost $20 per year and would allow you to keep your Verizon.net email if you canceled FiOS service. This sounded like an ok option.
But still -- I was curious why I couldn't transfer email addresses. So I then contacted technical support. This time it was explained to me that an email address was like a social security #. It couldn't just be given to another person. Great analogies in use at Verizon....I give them that. I told the guy I was a fellow "techie" and asked him for a more detailed explanation. That's when it got good. That's what killed me. He spent all this time talking about ACL's and routing and how email addresses couldn't be moved because "you're talking about 2 million addresses". Long and short he was trying to say the Verizon email system was just too complex. Finally I told him that it had to be something that could be done....and his exact words were "well sure it can be done...but we're not going to do it if you're not paying for a service". Wow! Great response! I've been a paying customer of FiOS for about two years. I've had some form of service with Verizon for about 15 years (from phone service to mobile service with V-Wireless). I fully understand that I'm no longer paying for FiOS service. But my friend is. And he has 7 email accounts he's not using. So why couldn't they be moved? Because the system is too complex? Give me a break. Like this guy finally admitted...it boils down to money.
Finally I gave up. I told my wife that we'd just have to deal with switching to a new email address. Life will move on. She wanted to try the "Verizon Your Domain" option though. She started doing the process online...had some questions....and decided to call customer service. She got transferred around to three different people...the last of which told her "you need to call a different department" and then CLICK.
Great, great job Verizon. All I ask is if someone could give me some sort of response that makes sense. If you just don't want to offer the transfer option then tell me.
I expect to be in a new home within a month or two. And suddenly Comcast is looking very good.

Well, CS was right when they said that Verizon cannot transfer your email to another account. In order to do that they would have to overwrite the email of your friend ( I dont think your friend would apreciate that ). This is due to a limitation on the email system.
However, you may have another option. If you are going to be getting Verizon service again in the realitivly near future (4-8 weeks or so), Then after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email. That way you can continue to use it even though you dont have service any more. Now they cant do this for long but for temporary it can be done. Then once you get your service back, they can then move your existing email to your new account. (this can now be done as they will overwrite your new email with your old).
Now if your going to be without Verizon service for more than a couple months, you may be out of luck but this is one option
umm, oh bhoy!
In fact, a "repoint" of an email address CAN be completed onto another account AND it does not overwrite anything on the receiving account.    Each acount, whether its a FiOS account or a copper account, has an account number. The email address is assigned to the account number.    The email address can be "repointed" from one account to another, as an 'add-on' to the new account, then it can be 'repointed' back to another account later.    HOWEVER, the contract does say that you must have a valid account. AND, Verizon cannot (no company can) allow you to manipulate someone else's account.
as to the "after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email", well, the fact is that the account has to be provisioned to an address. So, though I have come accross accounts that seemed to still be "on" after the listed close date, it was not something that verizon's tier 1 tech support can effect (that's who you get on the phone when you call tech support) (note that 'sales' could not do this for you, either)   So good luck with that.
What happens is that Verizon will not allow anyone to take your email addresses for at least 6 months.
Before you cancelled you may have had an option to have a notice auto-replied to any email that gets sent to your email address, for a limited amount of time, like they can do with a telephone number ("this number has been changed to . . . . . ") that "this email address is temporarily suspended, or something. . . . I said MAY have had the opportunity. .. .   but if it was me, I would get to where you are going and make sure they have Verizon internet account already   and have them call verizon tech support (so they can verify their account info) with you standing there so that you can verify your old account info and immediately and plainly ask if you can have an email "repoint" done for you.

How to set up Icloud, problem with email address

Hi
I have had my Iphone 4S for a few months but never used Icloud. I'm trying to set it up but can't figure out how to change the Apple ID - my apple ID is my yahoo email address. Don't I need to use the icloud address to back up? If so, how do I change it. When I click on Icloud it says "account" and there is my [email protected] address. I set up a new Icloud mail account but it's still not showing as the default.
I admit I'm a new Apple user and the whole Icloud thing confuses me. I would like to keep my phone backed up somewhere and it seems like the Icloud would do it. Can anyone explain in baby steps exactly what I need to do?
Thank you!
Laurianne

Hey mexigrl64,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, and great question!
The @icloud.com email address is only required if you want to use iCloud Mail & Notes. You can still use your Apple ID (in your case, the @yahoo.com address) for iCloud Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Find my iPhone, Backup, etc. In short, you can use all of these functions without creating the @icloud.com address.
From the information you provided, and if backups are your only concern, then it sounds like you are good to go! There is no need to configure your iCloud settings to reflect the @icloud.com address, as this is just another email account that others can reach you at.
