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.

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

How do i obtain a new iCloud email account

My father set up a new ipad mini for my mother without setting up an icloud email account. How do I go back to reset and obtain an icloud and apple Id?
My father set the ipad up with a gmail account and forgot the password so everything is messed up help.

Well the Mac is way too old, but rhis situation may not be as bad as it appears. Take a look at these kb articles.
1. Did they enter an email address to use for an Apple ID? If they didn't, then they can create one where I stated in the other post - Settings>iTunes and App Store. They can create the ID in there.
If they want to use a credit card with their Apple ID. See this.
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes - Support
if they don't want to use a credit card, then they can create the ID this way.

2. This might help with the iCloud account. It is really quite simple.

HT5824 How to create a new icloud email account

I need to create a new Icloud email account for may company. How can I do it?

Does your company have a domain name and website? If it does you should be able to create an email address using the domain name. For instance, if you company's website is ABC.com you can have multiple email addresses like "[email protected]". Check with the hosting service that is hosting your business website.

New icloud email account without changing apple ID

Is it possible to get a new icloud email account without changing my apple ID?

Not an account, no: you would have to create a new Apple ID and use it to create a new iCloud account. But it depends on what it is you are trying to do: if all you want is a different @icloud.com email address this is easy. You can add up to three 'email 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

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).

HT4864 I'm confused with the syncing of email with Icloud. Do I need to use the new Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts?

I set up Icloud and an icloud email account in outlook 2010. The calendar dates transferred to my Iphone but nothing of the emails. The only email that go to my iphone are those that go to the new Iphone email account in outlook. Do I have to use the Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts in order for my email to sync? If not what can I do to get my outlook email to sync with my iphone? Thanks.

iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc. If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so. Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

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.

How do I set up a new iCloud email account

I need to set up a seperate iCloud email for my wife, how do I do this?

Each device can have only one iCloud ID defined. If you two have different devices and you have defined one ID on yours, then your wife can define a new one on hers. Look in the right panel for links to threads having to do with defining/changing the ID

New iCloud email account not working - duplicate/ambiguous directory match error

I set myself up a new iCloud account this morning once I got iOS 5 loaded on my iPhone 3GS. I was able to create a new @me.com email address, but I think I might have stepped on someone else's existing address as when I send it email, I get a rejection immediately with "duplicate/ambiguous directory entry". iCloud email doesn't work on iCloud.com, and iCloud mail account on the iPhone tells me the user or password is incorrect.
Other than that, iOS 5 is working great so far!

Same symptoms - let's look at the "cause". I was digging in my iPhone settings and although I did everything as prompted in the iCloud setup here is what has actually happened under the hood.
First - What iCloud guided me to do.
•I had a @mac Apple ID I decided to use it for iCloud
•iCloud said I neeeded a new @me address to use mail and iMessaging and asked me to set one up
•I set up a new @me email address
Sencond - The Results
•I can receive email at my new @me address (expected)
•I can login to iCloud online with my old Apple ID (expected)
•I can not send outgoing mail - error on password (unexpected)
Third - Under the Hood (Settings that are a little odd)
On my iPhone, under Settings -> Mail, Contacts, etc -> iCloud -> Account,
At the very bottom under "Advanced" is the email info, now this should be the new active @me address but its NOT! It's my old AppleID with the @mac address - which of course no one can use for "real email" anymore.
iCloud on my phone is attempting to use my @mac address for outgoing messages!!!! ARGH!
WORSE is you can not edit this! You can click and see details, change the "name" but you can not change the address!
I think this might be the issue for all of us on this thread - check it out and see. If so it's something we will def. have to have a fix from apple for. :-( That or perhaps delete your iCloud account, your existing Apple ID and get a new @me Apple ID that will work for email as well. (PITA!) I hope we get a fix from Apple.

Setting up new BT email account on android phone

Hello everyone,
I've recently made the transition from BT Yahoo to BT Mail. I have no problems logging onto my emails using my laptop, but can no longer view my emails on my phone (Samsung Galaxy 4).
I've followed the instructions in the BT help pages regarding removing the email account on the phone and reconnecting via IMAP/POP, but the phone continuously tells me that I can't connect to the server and I've tried both Pop and Imap now. The username and password are both correct. I'm at a loss to understand what's going on.
Can any of you help?
Kind regards
Dottielottie
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks Licquorice,
I tried to do as you suggested yesterday several times and I just couldn't connect. Today, it seems to be working after a password reset.
Does it matter whether I connect to IMAP if I was connected to POP initially? All the BT help guides say it's preferable to connect to IMAP, but it looks like my Yahoo mail was connected to POP. Do I have to use the same server as before and which is the best?

Deleting old and setting up new iCloud email address

I am trying to figure out how to delete an old .mac email address permanently, then initiate a new .me address.
This used to be simple, ( maybe it still is? ), with MobileMe where you could just open those preferences and add or delete accounts. But it's been some time since I have had to do this and now with iCloud I cannot figure out how to manage my Apple email addresses, and I find Apple's Help features not to helpful at all!
Obviously I do have an iCloud account.

Sorry I thought I did so...
To try to be clearer, I wish to delete an old / existing .mac account/email address, i.e.: [email protected] Delete it permanently.
Then I want to open an entirely new email address, i.e.: [email protected]
Does this make sense now?
Thanks! PM

HT201320 How do I set up my iCloud email account on an OLD iPhone w/ OS4.X?

Hey everyone,
My iPhone 4S got stolen, and I don't qualify for an upgrade for one more month. So I've reverted to my old 3G iPhone. The rep at ATT told me NOT to upgrade the OS - that it would make this thing run slower than molasses. SO, I've only synced the super important stuff and am operating under OS 4.2.1. However, when I go in the Mail section to set up my ME account and calendar, the only option is MobileMe. I gave MobileME my iCloud credentials, and all it does is allow me to turn in Find My Phone. It does not add my mail, contacts or calendar. Does anyone know how to do so?

You could go to icloud.com on your computer, then download your iCloud calendar as an .ics file as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4910 (under Calendar...icloud.com Calendar), then import this to a supported program on your computer such as Outlook or Mac iCal (if you have one) and sync it to your phone using iTunes; or if you don't have a supported program, import it to an external service such as Google Calendar (see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/30834/add-an-ical-or-.ics-calendar-to-google-cale ndar/) and sync it to your phone using a gmail exchange account (as explained here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740).
