Using google groups email address for appleID

Hello
I want to create an Apple ID, and I want to use a google groups email account (e.g. "[email protected]") as the primary email address. The google group has been set up with high security levels (only a couple of people with owner-level permissions have access to read emails, it is otherwise not open or exposed to the public. This group was set up in my workplace for registering software and hardware purchases (apple and others) so that multiple administrators can manage upgrades and licenses, and so the administrators can change over time but have access to previous admins' emails.
When I created the Apple ID, everything seems fine but the verification email was not received by the google group. So either Apple is blocking the outgoing message, or google groups is blocking the message on the incoming side.
Does anyone know if it is possible to do what I am trying to do?
thanks
Eli

Apple ID security issues -
Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
Your move Apple, make it count.

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I accidentally created an iCloud account using the wrong email address for my username - I already have an iCloud account with a different email address username. Is there any way I can merge these accounts?

I just upgraded my MacBook from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion so that I could stream from my other devices (iPhone and iPad) to my MacBook. After making it through the upgrade process, I realized that I used the wrong email address for my iCloud username when starting up on the MacBook. My iPhone, iPad, and iTunes are under my Hotmail email address and I accidently used my Gmail email address for the MacBook. Is there any way I can merge these two icloud accounts together? I tried changing my account information to add the other email address, but wasn't allowed because another account was using the name (duh). If I can't merge them, how could I change the MacBook from the Gmail address to the Hotmail address so that all my devices are on the same icloud account? It'd be nice if I could keep the free 5GB of storage that comes with my purchase of the software, but I'd rather lose the storage than not be able to stream.

To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account. When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac. Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

Can I use the same email address for multiple seats in Creative Cloud for Teams?

Can I use the same email address for multiple seats in Creative Cloud for Teams?

No. http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Can I buy more than one membership to an individual offering of Creative Cloud?
No, Adobe has moved to identity-based licensing with a technology that will not support multiple same-product licenses, so you can buy only one membership per Adobe ID. If you need two Creative Cloud memberships, you will need to purchase each with a unique Adobe ID. You can also purchase a Creative Cloud for teams membership, which allows you to purchase and manage multiple seats under one account.

Can I use the same email address for facetime on 2 different devices (ipod touch and a mini)

can I use the same email address for facetime on 2 different devices (ipod touch and a mini)?
I've set up my daughters ipod touch last year all fine. She's had a mini this yr but when setting up facetime and entering her email address, which is used on the touch, I get an error message saying the address is already being used.
I thought you can use the same email address on multiple devices.

I have four different email addresses setup on my Mac, iPod Touch and my two iPads that I can select from and use as the email address with no problems at all.
Turn off FaceTime, and sign out of the Apple ID in the FaceTime settings, restart the iPad and try again. Turn FaceTime on again, sign in with the Apple ID and then try the email address again.

Hi Anne,
I'm pretty sure different eMail addies are needed for different Apple IDs.

I can't set up my email account on my ipod touch. It keeps saying that I have to use a valid email address for this account

I can't set up my email on my ipod touch. It keeps saying I have to use a valid email address for this account. Help!

Hi Annie,
Make sure when you are setting up your e-mail account that you enter in your entire e-mail address. If you have a Yahoo (includes any e-mail account associated with Yahoo), G-mail, or Aol after entering in your password it should automatically set up. Any other e-mail address you will have to manually set the account up.

I have been using my .mac email address for many years without a problem. Suddenly over the last few days the emails have been coming in sporadically. I know this becasue all the emails are coming in on my phone and on the laptop, not on iMac.

I have been using my .mac email address for many years without any problem. Suddenly the emails are coming in sporadically or not at all. I know this because they are all coming in on my phone and laptop. My gmail account seems unaffected with emails coming in fine. Any ideas? Thanks

Can I use a different email address for the forums than my Apple ID?

Hi,
I generally use a particular email address for all my computer/IT forum questions. This email address is different than my Apple ID email address.
Can I change my forum email address (doesn't look that way) without changing my Apple ID address?
Thanks,
Scott

Fair warning... years ago I went with my work email address as my Apple ID. Now, with the advent of iCloud and all the other 'services' attached to your Apple ID, I find that half the time I cannot log into any one particular service. Apple's servers and ID system is getting way too messy. Keep it as simple as you can. If you add a different email address you are pretty much guaranteed that things will get more complicated.
These days, to log into these forums I actually have to log into Apple Store first. The discussion log in page will not allow me to log in any longer.
Keep it simple!

Changing email addresses for AppleID

I have recently changed my email address for an active AppleID. However, for various reason I would like to change it to another email address that already has an unused, mistakenly created, AppleID attached to it. I know I can't cancel an AppleID, but can I:
- reallocate the unused AppleID to a new email;
- rellocate my active appleID to the email address that was previously linked to the old unused AppleID?
Would love to know if this works before I start messing around.

Yes and yes. You can use an old email for the unused ID (even one that is no longer functional). You do not have to verify when you change it - it just has to be an email address. Once you have changed the email on the unused ID, you should be able to use it for your active Apple ID.
Cheers,

HT1918 Why can't I use my icloud email address for my iTunes account

Tired of the cox communications inability to imap emails, going to dump it completely want to use the icloud email address I have, why can't I change my apple id to that email address

"Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
I noticed the following :
If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.
Best wishes -
