  • IMessage only sends to email contacts (iPad)

    Can anyone confirm whether the iPad can send to only those with registered email addresses rather than mobile numbers? Reason I ask is that I can send from iPhone to iPhone so I know their numbers are registered however if I try and send from the iPad it says number is not registered which is obviously wrong. It does work if I send to the registered email address though!

    Solved!... I think. After doing all the above and still struggling, I got my girlfriend to delete the conversation on her 4S, and made her create a new message aimed at my @me.com and not my mobile number. I also deleted my conversations. Either doing this or restarting my iPad 2 seems to have solved the problem and now messages automatically appear on both devices! Hope this helps.

  • This morning I changed my Apple ID to my new email address.  I thought it meant that I could then use all my alias icloud email addresses with my new Apple ID because it would be the same account.  Why am I now not getting email to those addresses.

    This morning I changed my Apple ID to my new email address.  I thought it meant that I could continue to use all my alias icloud email addresses with my new Apple ID because it would be the same account.  Since then I have not received and new emails to my iCloud email addresses.  Normally I get at least  7 new emails a day, so I'm pretty sure my iCloud addresses are not working.  It would be a lot of work for me to notify a lot of people, companies, and organizations about new email addresses, so I really would like to make them work.  Will it be possible to make them work with my new Apple ID?

    Roger, I didn't know that "Delete Account" was synonymous with "log out".  Yes, I had deleted my iCloud account in my iPad email settings more than once yesterday and again one more time after I read your reply.  I then followed the instructions below to log off on my Windows PC.  I found these when I searched for how to log off of iCould:
    1- Go to www.iCloud.com
    2- Sign in with your current login info
    3- Click on your user name on top right corner
    4- Select account setting
    5- Select "Advanced."
    6- Click 2nd option, "Sign Out Of All Browsers."
    I also scanned settings for all the other apps on my iPad and changed a couple that still had my old sbcglobal email address. Later, I noticed that I was able to see my old previous iCloud emails in iCloud.com, and the couple of messages that I received from this Support Community site, but still no new emails.  Suddenly the emails started rolling in again this morning.  I have 7 new ones at the moment.  I sort of expected to get a backlog of emails from yesterday, but something tells me those were all lost as "undeliverable".  I don't know who or exactly what did the trick, but the issue seems to be fixed.  I'm using my new Apple ID, and I'm glad I don't have to get all new iCloud alias email addresses after all.

  • Can i create additional apple id's using the same email address for using multiple products with iCloud?

    can i create additional apple id's using the same email address for using multiple products with iCloud?

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

  • IMessage sent through iCloud email

    I recently restored my phone to an earlier state from a few hours ago. After doing so, I sent an imessage to a friend; however the imessage didn't go through and kept saying "sending". I double tapped it and hit "send as text message" and it went through. However, after setting up my imessage setting on my iPhone and Mac, that one friend has been receiving imessages through my iCloud email. But all my settings for receiving/sending imessage's and facetime are to my phone number. The weird thing is, everyone else is receiving my imessage through my phone number, but only this one friend is receiving them through my iCloud and when they try to text my number it goes through as a SMS text message.
    Does anyone know a solution for this? I have tried turning on/off my phone after I signed out of imessage and the app store.

    I bought a T-Mobile iPhone a month ago and it was already activated when I got shipped to me. I didn't have to actiavte it.
    Any T-Monile sim will show the T-Mobile logo when inserted and will show the signal bars . This is so you can use the T-Mobile data signal to activate if you have no WiFi, especially useful for iPads.

  • How to create a shared Apple ID with iCloud email address for household?

    I would like to create a shared Apple ID with iCloud email address that wife and I can share and access from separate devices? A shared household iCloud email address would be useful for email contact for creating/managing bill accounts for utilities, school for kids, bill pay etc…  I currently have my own Apple ID on my MBP.
    Thanks!

    If you mean that you would like to create a shared iCloud account with a shared iCloud email address and you already have an iCloud account of your own, you can do that by creating a new Apple ID (see https://appleid.apple.com/account), then use the ID to set up a secondary iCloud account on your Mac by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>iCloud and signing in with the new ID.  You can then turn enable Mail in this account to create the shared email account.  Secondary accounts are more limited than primary iCloud accounts, and will only sync Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders and Notes.
    Once the account is created, it can be added to iOS devices by signing in with the ID in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud.
    Or, if your only interest is in having a shared email account, you might consider just setting up a free Gmail account to share.

  • I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

    I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords several times but it does not work for the macbook.

    You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

  • My iCloud email on iPad keeps saying it won't connect to server.

    My iCloud email on iPad keeps saying it won't connect to server. Tried removing and adding iCloud back on device already. Says last update was Thursday (3 days ago). I don't use this email much but got a few emails and attachments I need for work from that address. I logged in online from another computer and it worked. Any ideas how to fix this now? I do get email from other accounts and do have internet connection.

  • HT201342 what is the max size of attachment that possible to send with icloud email?

    what is the max size of attachment that possible to send with icloud email?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There isn't an attachment size limit as such, the limit applies to the entire message including all attachments, which is 20 MB.
    if you are using a mail application to send emails (ie not via a web browser) you may be subject to smaller limits imposed by your own ISP.

  • Is it possible to use imessage only in wifi and sms when no wifi is available?

    is it possible to use imessage only in wifi and sms when no wifi is available? I have unlimited texting but only 200mb of data. I know how to turn i messaging on/off manually but is there away to set it so it does it automatically?

    The only option you have is to turn off cellular data completely. You are correct, there is no setting for cellular data for messages. If you toggle iMessage off/on multiple times, you will end up with problems, since others will not know if you have iMessage off/on, and will continue to try to send iMessages to you. Also, you may find you will have problems with iMessage activating again after turning it off. iMessages do not use very much data, but if you are using data for other reasons, that could use up the limited pool of data you mentioned

    iCloud not letting me set up mail on a second iPad. Can I only sync iCloud to one iPad?

    The password for your Apple ID and iCloud are the same if you signed up for iCloud with your Apple ID. Are you sure that you already signed up for iCloud? See also: "How do I sign up for iCloud?" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436

  • Can I use my newly created iCloud email address as my Apple ID?

    Hey,
    I know there have been loads of post regarding iCloud and account issues. I was wondering if it was possible to use my newly created iCLoud email address as my Apple ID and its primary address. I had a hotmail account as my Apple ID before signing up for iCloud. For me it's purely cosmetic and I want to retire that hotmail address.
    Thanks
    Peter

    this has been really bugging me as well, i dont see why we cant do this.
    if you create a new apple id you get the option to use a free icloud email as the apple id, but old users are stuck?

  • I have several email accounts on my iphone but only my icloud emails show in icloud

    is it normal that i backed up 3 email accounts to icloud but only my icloud email shows in icloud

    iCloud doesn't backup email accounts.
    iCloud provides an optional email account that syncs between all your devices.
    iCloud does nothing at all for external non-iCloud email accounts.
