Using iCloud As Apple ID: Part 2

I have tried using this method someone advised, but unfortunately, I'm one step ahead of them:
1) Go to Settings
2) Tap iTunes and App Store
3) Choose the old account and logout
Now here is the problem, whenever I try to update my applications, it decides to say "Your Apple ID has been disabled". Why is that? I haven't linked a credit card, and I don't need one. How can I activate my account? Do I have to re-activate my account?

Contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID.

Using iCloud for Apple Mail on different macs

Hello,
Is there a way to setup iCloud as the storage for my Apple Mail folders? I'd like to use the same mail folders on different macs.
Would they be available offline (as would be with imap email synchronization)?
Thanks in advance,
Francis

And if there's no iCloud folder nor entry in the Mailbox List window what should I do?
I do see a heading for MobileMe and GoogleMail, but nothing for iCloud.
Your computer's OS is too old for iCloud, 10.7.2 is the minimum and you have something in the 10.6's (I would guess)
or
You have a compatible computer but never set iCloud up.
Which is it?

Can I use icloud with apple tv gen1

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if i can put my apple tv gen 1 library on the cloud? We have 3 ipads and at least 6 ipods running around this house. It would be nice to put everything on the cloud and clear up some space on my desktop. Also, if I can't upload the apple tv library to the cloud, how do I back it up?
thank you

I don't know of any way to back up your computer to the cloud. You would be far, far better off buying an external hard drive and backing your computer to that if you are not already doing so.
I have each version of the Apple TV, the latest one is for 1080p movies. There is no storage on the latest one and it uses a different iOS than the original. You store your movies on your computer and it streams them to your television. The nice thing is you can use Airplay between your iPads and the newer ATV which will allow you to stream material wirelessy to your TV from your iPad. If you have an iPad 2 or the new iPad you can mirror the output from it to your TV.

IPad Contacts Won't Synch with iCloud Despite Apple Fixes

I added a contact on my iPad (iOS 8.3), but it didn't sync to my iPhone, iMac, or when I check on www.icloud.com.
I've done every single step at Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support but the problem persists.
I am only using iCloud on all devices, and it's the same account.
Any suggestions on what to do next?

Hi Pimpernel,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you want to import a vCard to iCloud. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iCloud: Import a vCard
In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
Select a vCard to import.
Cheers,
Mario

I would like to add family members to my existing apple id that is used for my iCloud account. All of the family members already have existing apple ids. Can I make these existing apple ids part of my family?

Adding existing apple id to an iCloud family share
I would like to add family members to my existing apple id that is used for my iCloud account. All of the family members already have existing apple ids. Can I make these existing apple ids part of my family? I have tried this, but "verifying" the apple id always fails with "existing family member" or an error something to the effect "unable to do at this time, try again later."
Thanks

"am I still able to register another phone to the same ID?"
Yes.
") that I do end up creating a new apple ID "
This will cause complications. i do not recommend this.

What happens on iCloud (ex. contacts) when multiple family members use the same Apple ID?

What happens on iCloud when multiple family members use the same Apple ID? For example if we all choose to use iCloud for contacts, are they all merged together? We use the same Apple ID so we can use find my iPhone to keep track of the whole family.

Of course if you are both connected to the same iCloud account you have the same contacts - what did you expect?. The contacts live on the server and are read from there by the devices; so as you've both managed to sync your contacts up to iCloud they are now inextricably mixed. You can only delete your contacts by deleting individual ones, and doing that will delete them from your phone as well.
You can only unravel this by
1. In the iCloud contacts page at http://icloud.com, select all the contacts, click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.
2. Sign out of System Preferences>iCloud
3. Create a new Apple ID and open a new iCloud account with it for your own use.
4. Import the vCard back into the iCloud contacts page.
5. Go to http://icloud.com and sign in with the original ID. This is now his ID. Work through the contacts individually deleting the ones you don't want him to have. When done sign out and advise him to change his password.
6. Go to the new iCloud account and delete his contacts individually.
Of course if you have also been syncing calendars and using the same email address there are problems with doing this.

How can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?

Good afternoon friends.
Please help me and tell how can I stop using my primary Apple ID (Gmail) but leave my secondary Apple ID (icloud) as primary ond only ONE?
I started using Apple ID in 2011 when iCloud was not exist and was forced to use non-apple e-mail adress as primary ID.
So I used GMail mailbox.
When iCloud was started I created my account but unfortunatelly can't remove this Gmail address from my Apple ID and replace it with icloud mail address.
I was VERY dissapointed because I don't want to use "outside" mailbox to get letters from Apple and ny ID.
In fact I see the Apple old users and fans discrimination.
When creating new user accounts are free to create a box on the iCloud mail and use it as a primary ID, and the only ONE.
At the same time the old user is obliged to keep third-party mail box like Gmail etc. as the primary and can not get such an opportunity, as a new user
This is extremely inconvenient and a VERY strange logical.
For example, now I want to stop using this mailbox on Gmail but I can not do that because in this case I lose access to my ID, or run the risk that someone in the future will create a box with the same name on Gmail (when name will be free and available) and will automatically get access to my accounts on Apple and to my Apple ID.
Now, to avoid this, your team, I offer the only way out: ID, create anew.
Of course it's possible, but then:
- I lose all my purchases for 3 years and will be forced to make them again and pay money for the second time for my purchases
- Lose access to the familiar iCloud e-mail address who now serves as secondary ID because this e-mail address is almost no longer available and will never be released in future.
And now answer me for ONLY TWO questions:
- WHERE IS LOGIC?
- WHAT ABOUT TO BE FRIENDLY FOR YOUR USERS AND FANS?
Thank you!
Hopefully for your GOOD answers.

You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

Can I use iCloud on two Windows 7 PC's? (same apple ID)

Hi!
I am a new user of Apple products and would like to use iCloud on two Windows PC's to upload Pictures and be able to see them on iPad. I manage to setup one computer and upload a few pictures for test and it worked, however when I setup computer number 2, nothing happens after I put the pictures on the required location to upload.
Please let me know if this is feasible and if is not, what do I need to do to enable computer number 2 as the one to use and disable using computer 1 (the one working so far)
Regards

You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using your iCloud ID on your PC.

How do I use the same Apple ID from iTunes for iCloud?

Ok, I know this is probably a really stupid question, but I recently (like, 2 weeks ago) got a MacBook Pro after my older MacBook from 07 decided to get a mind of its own and start going on the fritz. Anyway, I had an older OS on my MacBook and therefore did not have iCloud at all. So for the past two weeks I've been trying to set up my iCloud on my new computer (who's name is Schroeder, for those who are wondering) and I've been attempting to use my Apple ID to sign up with for it (my Apple ID is the same as my regular email address). This is what I get when I try to get into my iCloud: "This Apple ID’s email address cannot be verified. Change your Apple ID’s email address at appleid.apple.com to sign in to iCloud." The thing is... my email address/Apple ID has already been verified. I was paranoid and verified it multiple times, too, and I still get the same "This Apple ID’s email address cannot be verified. Change your Apple ID’s email address at appleid.apple.com to sign in to iCloud" message when I try to sign into iCloud. What's going on here? Am I doing something wrong?

- Apps are prementently tied to the account that purchased them and you have to sign into that account to update the apps. If you have apps that need updating from more than one account you need to update them one at a time util the remainig apps were purchased from one account.
- Go to Settings>Store to sign out and sign into anohter account

i am new to icloud. i would like to manage all our household email accounts through icloud. i currently use gmail. is there a way to route all gmail messages through an icloud email so i do not have to change my email address? also how do i create multiple email accounts using the same apple id?
thanks all.

No, iCloud does not handle 3rd party mail, and Google can already sync to all your devices without any help.
iCloud accounts are individual, there is no 'Family' account. Open an account for each user, each will have an iCloud address.

HT204053 I set up one apple id for icloud on my iphone and another apple id for ipad. I cannot use icloud to automatically sync the two.

IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

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")

How do I delete a current icloud account so I can try again to set one up using my original apple id?

when I first downloaded the os icloud would not allow me to use my existing apple id to create an account. this even though the id is an email account. so I went ahead and established a new one. now I realize that was a poor choice. shoud I just delete the new iCloud account and try again to use my existing apple id?
will deleting the current iCloud account cause any issues with my iPad apps?
Thanks

OK found the answer in anothe discussion thread. On iPad, delete existing account by going to settings-iCloud-and tap red delete account bar. Sign in with the Apple id you want to use. This worked for me this time. Even though when I first tried to set up the iCloud account, I got error messages and thus was forced into creating the new id.
Anyhow, success.

I can't sign in to iCloud. My Apple ID is valid, but os not an iCloud account. How do I get to use iCloud?

You are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC by signing with your Apple ID. You can only sign into an existing account on a PC. You first have to create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.
