Why can't have apple email name as Apple ID

Q. Why cant I have my Apple email name [@me.com} as my Apple ID?
Would like to move totally over to Apple but unable to change my Apple ID (currently @gmail.com). Created a iCloud account with @me.com account so it is the same as my Apple email address, but then my Address Book duplicates every entry because my iCloud and Apple ID are different. Yes, I have created a iCloud account using the same log in as my Apple ID and my Address Book is normal, but then im logging on using a @gmail.com name but emailing from a @me.com account.

There are a lot of users on here who do not want their email addresses out for public view...and a lot of users who prefer an alias instead of their names. Rather than have conflicts it is easier to just keep everyone's email id's private unless an individual wants to publish it in their profile.

Why can I not share/email my iPhotos on my iMac?

Why can I not share/email my iPhotos on my iMac? My email account is working fine, yet it will not send. HELP please!!

Because you have a problem you need to fix - no mind readers here - exactly whyat happens? Why can't you e-mail photos? How are you doing it? What e-mail client are you using?
The general answer for iPhoto '11 is
in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

Why can't I move the "name" column??

This is a question that has been bothering me for a very long time. Why can't I move the "Name" column in the library (or playlist) view away from it's left position? It seems to be locked into place. I can move and arrange artist, album, time, bitrate, track #, etc etc etc to any configuration I so desire, but yet the name column remains eternally glued to the left side of that pane, never to be moved.
The reason I ask, is because when I organize my music, I don't immediately think of track names, I think of artists. Especially in this day of cds I am hard pressed to recall individual song names. At home my albums and cds are filed by artist name, not by song name (physically impossible, obviously). It's a natural tree-like organization... artist->album->song name. I want to configure the library view in iTunes to match this same logical hiearchy but for some reason iTunes will not let me do this one extremly simple thing... argh and double argh!! Is there any reason for this? Is there any way to solve this?

Chad hello,
Everybody here has given you good advice so I will explain why the name column can not be moved...
Your Music library is a data base and a data base has to have at least one totally unique index field for each file... now it can not be the Artist as you can have as many songs as you like by the same artist... same reason for the album, one album can have many songs but the same album name... same for genre etc.
The only thing that can be unique is the song title... If you put the exact same song by the same artist the program will assign a unique name by adding a number in front of the extension for each duplicate .... example
Song Name.mp3
Song Name_1.mp3
Song Name_2.mp3
So when you think about it the song name is the only thing that is different... one album by the same Artist may have more than one track of exactly the same length, size, genre, composer etc. moving through all fields except the name....
Now why can't you move the name column... well all the other fields do not have to be unique so you can move and/or remove these columns but if you could remove the name column you could end up with more than one entry in your library looking exactly the same.... you have to have something that allows you to separate them and that is the unique index field 'Song Name'....it could not work any other way..
hope you can follow all that.... take care... TP

Can I have multiple emails?

Can I have multiple email addresse fi I need to use them for different purposes?

Yes. With the iCloud mail you can have up to 4 alias email that come to your main email address but appear to the world as a different [email protected] address.
This Apple document describes it in detail: iCloud: About email aliases
You create the aliases in the Mail section of your icloud.com account.
Also you can add another email providcer like GMail, Yahoo, etc. also in your Mail accounts pane:

HT1430 why can't I send emails via my iphone & ipad?

Why can't I send emails from my iphone & ipad? Everything worked fine last night, but I updated my software yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been having the same problem with one of several email accounts on one iPad2 and one iPhone5. It has been driving me crazy. I have deleted and reinstalled the email accounts more times than I can count and was ready to throw the device out the window. However I just found a post from another user who stated that they were able to solve this problem by confirming that the outgoing mail server password was corrected. Apparently they found that after an upgrade the old password was retained by the server. I had never checked this because it's a few extra steps to get into the outgoing mail server. When I did I found that it was incorrect. Once changed, I was able to send the email again. Problem solved! Also I agree that the other user was rude in commenting to you the way that he/she did. Hope this helps you

Why can't i send email since the ios5 upgrade?

why can't I send emails since ios 5 upgrade?

There are several threads discussing this issue. I tried many suggested solutions without success until one finally worked and I'm sharing it in every thread.
First, here is my hardware/software situation, if your's is diff, then the fix I found might not work.
iPhone 4 upgraded to iOS 5. IMAP email wouldn't SEND
Fix:
Go into setting>mail>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name + Password under Outgoing Mail Server.
It seems that in previous versions of iOS, you didn't need to enter your username and password in the outgoing mail server settings, but in iOS 5, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Thanks to worapoj for being the first (i saw) to post this simple fix.

Don't know why. Could you maybe provide more details in order to get some troubleshooting tips.
Like what happens when you try? What email account? What troubleshooting's steps have you tried?

Why can't we directly email CC to just tell them something?

My payment comes in tomorrow, and apparently adobe tried to charge me yesterday and sent me an email saying that "We don't want to see you go.. etc". Well they don't give you the option to say "Look, just charge me tomorrow everything is fine, calm down, relax.."
So why can't I just email them to quickly let them know that? Why does there have to be this forum system in the way? I am not stupid, I know how to fix problems. The only thing that needs to be done is for them to charge me tomorrow so that I can keep my subscription to creative cloud.
An account being empty is certainly not a way for someone to cancel a subscription.

Can I have Apple TV on more than one tv?

Can I have Apple TV on more than one tv and can I use one netflix subscription on both tvs (connected to Apple TV)?

You'd really need one AppleTV per TV - as for Netflix check your subscription package, in UK I can play on 2 devices with my current subscription or 4 for a higher fee.
AppleTv only has a single video out, so even if you relay the output of AppleTV to 2 TVs it would show the same content.

Can we have a group name in oracle database???

Hello,
what i want to know is that can we have a group name, a set of all usernames for a database,
the whole purpose is to simplify the grant statement, rather then doing this
grant select to <user1>
     grant select to <user2>
     grant select to <user3>
     it would be simple to do
     grant select to <group1>
     where group1 consists of user1,user2 and user3...
     cheere

all_users
describe all_users
Name                                      Null?    Type
USERNAME                                  NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
USER_ID                                   NOT NULL NUMBER
