TS3988 I am trying to set up iCloud but I have spelled it wrong, what can I do?

Can you please help me - my e-mail is *****@btinternet.com but when setting up my iCloud account I have put *****@icloud.com I need to change my iCloud name
<Email Edited by Host>

It's a really bad idea to post your email addresses - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.
Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. 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.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.

HT1843 hi my bluetooth cannot see the other bluetooth devices. When it is picked up by a different device tries to pair with it but the pairing does not occur. what can I do apart from throwing this **** thing in the bin?

It isn't supposed to pair with the MacBook. You can use WiFi to connect but not Bluetooth. You can setup a personal HotSpot on the iPhone and connect the MacBook, or setup the MacBook AirPort to create a network and attach the iPhone, and use the USB cable to connect the iPhone to the MacBook for syncing and backup purposes.
The communications are rather limited.

TS3988 I am trying to verify my icloud account and have clicked the "resend verifaction email" but am not recieving it. Why?

I have been trying to get my icloud account working but when I try to verify, I can not. I have clicked on the "resend verification email" tap but nothing happens. What can I do??

The verification email is not sent immediately so be patient and wait a while.

Tried to set up iCloud but it's wiped all my photos

I had about 600 photos on my iPhone, but had not set up iCloud due to battery drain issues. Yesterday someone said I should set it up for photos. Not knowing how to do this properly all I did was in Settings slide the photostream button to on. I didn't turn on the backup & storage bit down the bottom - didn't know you had to.
Then today when I went to look at a photo, I discovered they've all gone! I went into the Apple Store to try to get help. They have made it worse, as they decided to restore my phone from iCloud. That has now wiped absolutely everything off my phone. Including my Whataspp conversations - the one plae where some of the photos were stored as media when i sent them to people :-(
It's also wiped all the Apps I've purchased. The Appstore on the phone is only showing about 4 apps as purchased, but I've bought about 15.
Please can anyone help me? The photos must be somewhere electronically in the depths of this phone, their must be a way to get them back? Unfortuantely it seems that my itunes wasn't set to auto backup my phone when I plugged it into my laptop.

If you had not backed up your photos in iTunes or in iCloud, I am afraid you lost all of your photos.
It is recommended to always back up your iPhone to your computer via iTunes
Sorry about that

I've set up iCloud and now have got guest user - what is that and why

I have set up my iCloud account and now have got a guest user on my iMac - what is that and why have I got it?
What happens if I find a way of taking that off the 'introduction screen'?
Any help or advice most welcome.

Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

When I launch it nothing seems to happen, if I look in processes in task amanegr it seems to be running but nothing happens on the screen. I've tried re-installing several times but still have the same problem?, can you help?

when I launch it nothing seems to happen, if I look in processes in task amanegr it seems to be running but nothing happens on the screen, after a few minutes I get a run tme error.

The window could be opening off screen.

Trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone 4. It's trying to use an old Apple ID that I no longer use. It would let me put in my current Apple ID

I am trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone 4. It wants me to use an old Apple ID that I dont use any more. It won't let me change it to my current Apple ID. How can I fix this?

Hi bluegirl26,
Borrowing a step from this account troubleshooting article, here is how you can change the signed in iCloud Apple ID:
iCloud: Account troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
Ensure that you are actively logged in to iCloud with your Apple ID on your iOS device, Mac, or PC:
iOS 5 or later:
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Review the iCloud settings to ensure the account is set up properly.
Cheers,
- Ari

I am trying to set up iCloud and it keeps coming back and saying "This apple ID's email address cannot be Verified. It is my main iTunes address and password. What is wrong?

Hi,
I am trying to set up iCloud on my various devices. When I log in with my iTunes (Apple id) it keeps coming back and stating
"Verify your account. This Apple ID's email address cannot be verified. Change your apple ids email address at appleid.apple.com to sig into i cloud"
My apple id has been alive and in use for years on iTunes etc. I have tried a different address and password and still get the same result
Help???
Regards
Brian

If your email address is valid, just go to https://appleid.apple.com/, click "Manage your account" to the right,sign in, click Name, ID, and Email Addresses to the left, then click "Verify now" next to your email address. Apple will send you an email to this address with a verification link. Otherwise add an alternate email address that can be verified.

Have you already verified your "new" email address? If not then please check your inbox for a confirmation email (also the junk folder). If you do not have a confirmation email then please sign in at https://appleid.apple.com and press "verify" for confirming your email address.

In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified. To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link. Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and I get to the point where it tells me to view my email for further instructions to verify acct, but I have no email in my inbox, even after resending multiple times.

Trying to set up iCloud on my MacBook Pro, and I get to the point where it tells me to view my email for further instructions on verification of my account, but there is no such email in my inbox, even after submitting multiple requests to resend the email. Any idea what I can do? Mark

Well, running on a 2006 model. I did not have a startup disc. Initially, it booted up on original software in 2006. Since then, I've upgraded to 10.6 via a box set. And, since then I think I popped it up to lion.
All I have on a disc is snow leopard. And, I can't get farther than the setup screen due to hard drive. I'm taking to a apple authorized repair store right now. We'll see what they tell me . I'm just going to weigh the cost of repair vs. buying new.
Another bad, stupid thing is I had no means of backing up my stuff. So, I might have lost things like music, vids, etc. we'll see if they can recover. If the cost is too much for repair I might just forget it and start over with a new system. Just not sure at this point.

I am trying to set up iCloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line, even tho I have gone into my apple account and changed to my mobile phone

I am trying to set up Icloud keychain, but it keeps sending the verification code to my land line (which I guess I entered back when I first got my MacBook). I have gone into my apple account and changed the # to my mobile phone, but it continued to send it to the land line. Probably is something simple, but I am not a techy!!

Hi,
As regardss to the iChat and iChat Sharing categorisation you have used.
In iChat 6 (lion) and Messages (Mountain Lion) the apps login to AIM and to Me.com
The Login to Me.com allows AIM to verify the password to the iCloud issued names (@me.com and @iCloud.com)
This "Dual" login also prevents the newer iCloud issued name from using this site
(it has extra Privacy settings that iChat can't access for your AIM and Aim valid Accounts)
Ignoring the @mac.com and MobileMe entries in the Add Account Screen in iChat and using the AIM one does not get around this issue.
AIM and @mac.com names still work in older versions of iChat.
The short answer is that iCloud issued Apple IDs do not work in iChat 5 or Earlier.

I am trying to set up iCloud on iPhone 5

Hello, I've been trying to set up iCloud on my iPhone 5 and iPad3 and running into the same problem message at top of screen saying "account not verified".
"check your email for instructions to verify this account". When I check my email, there are no messages from Apple with instructions? Help please?? Thank you!

Set the iPhone up as a new iphone (no restore from backup). Next update the iPhone to iOS 8.1.1. Finally renter Setup by chosing Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. You will now be able to setup using your backup.
