Why do I need a separate ICloud email account?

Not sure why I created or was made to create an iCloud email account? Can someone instruct me?

What you're doing is setting up a new iCloud account. You need to move your existing MobileMe account to iCloud.

  • Separate icloud email account from itunes account (separate Apple IDs and passwords)

    How do I transfer my @me email address to a different Apple ID?  My current Apple ID is @gmail.  End game is that I would like to separate my icloud email from my itunes account purchases (separate accounts with separate passwords.  Thanks in advance.

    And if you can't transfer @me address, can you at least have a separate password for the email account.  My family has made all itunes purchases through my Apple ID and I would like them to still have access, but I do not want them to have access to my email account.  Thank you

  • HT204053 Do I need a separate icloud account for each email account?

    Do I need a separate icloud account with each email address?

    Hi Winston and thank you so much for helping me.
    What I would like to do is this. I have 3 email accounts that are important and I use every day so here is where I got messed up in my thinking. I have to select which email to receive my messages. To answer I have to go to each account
    as I do not want to share my email accounts names. Can I assign each aol account name to an apple Id and have the messages go to that account only?
    Winston, I thank you so much.

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • 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.

    Your profile states 10.6.8. The system requirements for mail is 10.7.5 or later

  • I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

    I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    It might be caused by storage "buffering".  If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

  • I need help to delete my iCloud email account.

    Where can I contact when I need to ask Apple deleting my iCloud email account? And please tell me how to remove the iCloud email from my iPhone! Thank you!

    You cannot delete an iCloud account from the server, but you can remove it from your phone by going to Settings>iCloud and clicking 'Delete Account' (this does not remove the account from the server).
    You should then go to http://icloud.com and delete any data there you want to, and then just ignore it.

  • Why does iOS 5.0.1 always say, my iCloud Password is incorrect, when i try to use my iCloud email account?

  • My icloud email account needs help...

    my icloud email account for past 5 days keeps returning "sent emails" that i have NOT sent . I have over 2000. How do I stop this and fix this problem?

    There's pretty much nothing you can do. Someone is using your email address as their return address to send out spam. Of course, every time delivery fails, YOU get the failure notice instead of them...

  • Why won't my iCloud email account work on iPhone 4?

    Having problems getting my iCloud email account to work properly within iOS 5 on my iPhone 4. It works perfectly on iCloud.com and Mac OS X Mail and started to work on my iPhone, but since approximately 3 days ago it won't sync or download new messages. I've tried the fix guide provided by Apple and all I've accomplished is to delete all of my folders and messages downloaded prior to when it stopped working. I have also tried restoring the iPhone to no avail.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    So, it turns out that iCloud mail does work on my iPhone, just not through a certain wifi hotspot.
    Feel quite idiotic now...

  • HT4864 I'm confused with the syncing of email with Icloud.  Do I need to use the new Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts?

    I set up Icloud and an icloud email account in outlook 2010.  The calendar dates transferred to my Iphone but nothing of the emails.  The only email that go to my iphone are those that go to the new Iphone email account in outlook.  Do I have to use the Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts in order for my email to sync?  If not what can I do to get my outlook email to sync with my iphone? Thanks.

    iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc.  If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so.  Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

  • I have set up an iCloud email account in my name on my iPad and wish to set one up for my husband in his name. I can't seem to find how to do this. Am I only allowed one email address? If not can someone talk me through this. Thanks

    I wish to set up an alias address on my iPad. My iCloud address has already been established and I can find no way to get into my account to add any alias.

    You can create up to 3 alias addresses but you have to do this on icloud.com from your computer browser.  This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Also, incoming email to an alias address will go to your current iCloud inbox so it really isn't a separate account; just a different email address for the same account. 
    Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account.  If you really want to set up another, you would need to add a secondary iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then entering a different Apple ID to create the account.  You can then turn on Mail to create the new account.  Mail in secondary accounts, however, is fetch email, not push (which is only supported in the primary account).
