Why can't I get my icloud email on my computer?

I cannot get my icloud email on my iMac intel computer - I always get a message to go to "preferences" and see if there is a yellow something there and if so, uncheck the box and then recheck - well this does not work. The yellow thingy goes away, but comes right back again. Help

When I tap the mail icon on my iPhone 4s, the menu of email servers pops up. I already have a me acct that I check all the time, no problem. So I choose iCloud, sign in and it tells me that I already have an acct-.so why can't I get to my emails then?

Why can't I access my icloud email on Chrome?

Why can't I access my iCloud email on Chrome? I can open it, read one email and then it freezes > both on my mac and on my pc! After an upgrade I can't access "mail" either, which is why I resorted to iCloud on chrome.

Without explaining what you have tried, it might be hard to answer your question. Providing a little more detail would probably be useful to those that want to help you.

 -> Systemsettings -> iCloud.
You must have OSX 10.7.2 , else it is not part of OSX.
for iOS : version 5 is needed, tap Settings -> iCloud.

Why can't I get my comcast email now that I have the cloud?

Since I started using the Icloud this weekend, I can no longer get my comcast email on my phone or ipad.

Double-check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars to confirm that your Comcast account is still set up on your devices. If it is, there may be a problem at Comcast's end. There have been several reports of Comcast email not being received at iCloud email addresses. This is a different problem that yours, but may be related.

Why can't I get my icloud account to register my new email on my iPad. I have managed to change it with iTunes and Apple.

I bought an iPad and opened up an iCloud account now iCloud won't register my new email address on my iPad! Why?

Okay, got it working!
My process was pretty straightforward (of course, everything is, in hindsight):
(1) Go to my user library folder
(2) Do a spotlight search for the word "mail"
(3) Delete something that looks like it might be related to/possibly interfering with Mail's operation
(4) Try Mail
I repeated the above process a couple of times and poof, Mail started to add my accounts! First, my Gmail account, and then, after disabling and re-enabling my iCloud account inside System Preferences > iCloud, my iCloud account too!
The file I believe was the lynchpin was located here:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail
Give that a shot if you can't get your iCloud/Gmail email to show up in Apple Mail 7.1 (1827) under OS X 10.9.1, despite the accounts seemingly adding succesfully in System Preferences.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This may delete mail you have stored locally, so please do not attempt if you store your email locally (i.e. POP email setups). I think for IMAP setups (e.g. iCloud & Gmail) this is just deleting the cached versions of the emails, so they'll just get rebuilt once the email is downloaded from the server again.

Why can't I use my icloud email for my apple ID?

I want to get rid of my old email address and only use icloud but Apple ID says I cannot use my icloud email address. Why would they offer icloud email if a user cannot use it as their primary address?

You can use iCloud as your primary email, just keep the other as a backup.
It really isn't a good idea to rely on just one email address in case you get an unexpected problem, for example:

Why can't I use my iCloud Email Address as my Apple ID?

Why won't Apple allow us to use their own @icloud.com domain for an Apple ID. This has upset me since the inception of MobileMe; it makes perfect sense that many people would prefer to use their iCloud email address as there Apple ID. We've all had MobileMe since day one, which is now iCloud; it's been several years, and I still can't do it. Having to frequently log in with an individual Apple ID & Individual iCloud account creates so much confusion, especially with my wife and parents.
I know this is an age old complaint, but it doesn't make it any less relevant. Is there a special way to change my existing Apple ID to my existing iCloud email address? If not, then why won't Apple allow it?
Please don't refer me to this article Change your Apple ID.

submit feedback about this so hopefully it gets changed https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

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 -

Why can't I use my iCloud email as my Apple ID's primary email?

I want to use my iCloud email as my primary email address so that I can recieve purchase receipts on this email without having to repurchase all my apps and have to juggle two IDs. Apple seems to not want to let me do this. Is there anything I can do? Setting my iCloud as a secondary email doesn't help.

Why can't you use your iCloud email address for your Apple ID?

Why can't an iCloud.com email address be used to create an Apple ID? Is iCloud email not to be used as a primary email?

You can if you create an new Apple ID at the time you create the iCloud account, and choose to create a new @icloud.com email address as your primary email address when creating the ID. See Imp68's post here for an example of how you would do this on a Mac: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348.
You could not use your existing @icloud.com email address as it is already an alias for your existing iCloud ID; you would have to create a new one.

HT204053 Why can't I get into iCloud

You are getting this because you are trying to go to icloud.com from an iOS device. You can only go to icloud.com on your computer browser, not from an iOS device.

Why can I not get Internet or email but can Skype?

Help!
Can use Skype but can't get Internet or email on my MacBook pro - no problems at all with iPad or iPhone getting onto wifi.
No proxies, deleted & recreated airport network.
Reset by BT home hub.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Skype is probably set to start when you boot your computer. It could be the culprit as it has a tendency to steal a lot of bandwidth from other applications. Try disabling it on startup by going to System Preferences under Accounts, then to Login Items, and by removing Skype from the list (you can add it back later). Reboot your Mac and tell us if you still have problems browsing the Web or sending/receiving email.
