Stop email address suggestions on iCloud

I am using iCloud on my mac and am typing an email, when I type an email address in instead of just showing the single address it is trying to be smart offering any combination of users I've ever used that included that address.  Since I copy myself on every email it is a nightmare!
How can I stop iCloud from suggesting email addresses?
How can I clear the email addresses cache / history on iCloud?
Thanks much in advanced!!

You say you're using iCloud Mail on your Mac, but do you mean via a browser at iCloud.com or in the Apple Mail application?
This is how you manage the Previous Recipients list in Mail on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11766
And to turn the auto-suggesting feature off completely, go to
Mail > Preferences > Composing and uncheck Automatically complete addresses.

    Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
    You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

  • I have a new email address and updated it with my apple id/icloud and updated on my iPhone, but i'm getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.

    I have a new email address and updated my apple id/icloud  with the new address. I updated on my iPhone, but i'm keep getting a pop up to enter my password with my old email address listed for iCloud/Apple id.  How do I get it to go away?

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • How do I get an iCloud email address for an iCloud account that is already set up?

    When I set up my wife's iCloud account, I used her regular email address.  Now, when I try to iMessage her from my iPhone (4s), I am successful when I am on a wifi but not via my cellular connection.  I can iMessage other users.  I believe this is due to her not having an iCloud email address on her iCloud account.  I suspect that when my message is sent via cellular, it tries to go to her actual email address which fails.  She is able to iMessage me regardless of my connection from her iPad (4th).
    Does anyone know how to add an iCloud address to an existing iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Thanks Jim.  I'm pretty sure it is set up correctly.  The only issue the ipad has is it dies not receive messages from my iphone when the iphone is not on wifi.  She can send/receive imessages to/from others and from my iphone when it is on wifi.  

  • How do I delete an email address from my icloud account as I am no longer friends with this man

    Hi,
    How do I remove an email address from my icloud account as I am no longer friends with this man and every time i type an s his email address comes up - I want this to stop

    If you haven't already removed the email address from your contacts in cloud, you may want to start there.  If that doesn't work, then you may be out of luck.  Unfortunately, smartphones remember things we don't want them to :-(

  • Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Is it possible to download iOS  5 from one iMac on two ipads and not get them totally wiped of apps and stuff. We have an iPad each and a communal email address and an iCloud address each. One iPad now is totally screwed up.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I am somewhat new to iOS and OS having grown up with DOS and Windows. I am not familiar with IMAP and iCloud and I am not even sure which types of servers my various emails use.
    The problem I would anticipate with iCloud is that (I assume) it would limit my access to data (including mail) on the iCloud to when I happen to be logged onto the internet. I also assume(?) that large files (photos etc.) would require some time to download whenever I wish to access them from whichever device I happen to be using (I hope I am wrong about this).
    I have kept my devices to 500gb - 1TB for OS and 32gb - 128gb for iOS but since I have pretty slow WiFi (shared with DirecTV Whole Home and Netflix streaming) it is my impression that iCloud might be quite limited due to data transfer times.
    Perhaps a factor would be that I have 2 DSL lines and my main DSL line is connected to two wireless routers (to also provide WiFi in a metal building that blocks WiFi and Cellular signals)
    I may be totally wrong in my assumptions regarding iCloud. My mail is not so urgent that I need access to it instantly and I could wait until I had internet access or I can get it on my iPhone. My main concern with iCloud would be my data files (Word, Pages, Excel, Numbers etc.).
    On the other hand, if I wanted to keep my 10,000 emails that would take up a lot of iCloud memory and I don't know how to measure how much storage it would take or how to move Hotmail or even iCloud mail to iCloud.
    It may take me some time to figure this out.

    @icloud.com addresses are being rolled out over an unspecified period: you will get one without having to do anything, and it will be additional to your @me.com address. You will get a notification email when your account is updated. Please see this page:

  • I'm a little confused as to how Apple ID works.  Do I need separate Apple IDs or email addresses for iMessage, iCloud, and Facetime?

    Do I need separate Apple IDs or email addresses for iMessage, iCloud, and Facetime?
    Everytime I attempt to use my Apple ID associated with iTunes with iMessage, iCloud, or Facetime, it tells me: 'Unable to verify email because it is already in use'.  I've been playing around with it and find when I enter another email address other then the one associated with my iTunes account, it'll work.  So it seems that my Apple ID will log me into the cloud (or whatever it may be), but I need another email address for the messages to be sent to?  Perhaps somebody can clarify for me.  Thanks in advance!

    activation of imessage requires the ability to send an SMS message to a number commencing with +44.  Do you have the ability to send international text messageswhile  in Japan?

    Hello sheryfromzaf
    Check out the articles below to go through the steps of changing your Apple ID and then what to do after you change your Apple ID. You will probably not have to change all the Apple ID for all services, just the ones that you use.

  • How to stop email addresses from being added to contacts

    hofw do you stop email addresses from sent emails from being added automatically to contacts?

    No. They are not being created by the phone. They are being created by your mail system, whether that is Exchange, Yahoo, Google, etc. They all have settings to automatically create contacts from people you correspond with. There is no setting on the phone to control this. Check the settings for your mail account with or talk to your IT department.

    You'll need to save the documents first from the incorrect iCloud account, sign out then sign in to the correct iCloud account and upload the documents to that account.
