Why won't my new iCloud e-mail address work on my iPhone or online?

I recently set up an iCloud account. Everything seems to be working except mail? Is this happening to everyone?

Try resetting the email account password > Apple - My Apple ID

Why can someone use same icloud e-mail address as mine?

Why can someone use same icloud e-mail address as mine?
I Have found that the new facebook account has been set up in someone's name using my iclound e-mail.

Do a backup.
Try System Preferences/iCloud and sign out. Then sign in with your new Apple ID.

Can I Delete my Current Apple ID Account then Re-Create/Re-Register a New Version of It but Use the Same Apple Username & iCloud E-Mail Address I Had Before?

I already had an Apple ID before registering for iCloud e-mail.
This means that my Primary Apple ID is my @gmail.com e-mail address (the one I originally registered my Apple ID with), however I'd prefer that my Primary Apple ID were my new @iCloud.com e-mail address.
Yet, I already know that it is simply not possible to make my new @iCloud.com e-mail address my Primary Apple ID in any easy/simple sort of manner.
My understanding is, the only possible way I could use an @iCloud e-mail address as my Primary Apple ID now is to make a brand new Apple ID account. However, I want to keep/continue using my current @iCloud e-mail address and my Apple username (JRCSaunders) -- I don't want to have to choose a new @iCloud e-mail address or Apple username.
So basically what I'm wondering is if there is any possibility that I might be able to completely delete/erase my current Apple ID and then re-create a new Apple ID using my current/existing @iCloud.com e-mail addressas my Primary Apple ID and re-using the same Apple username I have now (JRCSaunders)?
I'm just trying to think of a work-around so that I can make my current/existing @iCloud e-mail address my Primary Apple ID, which does not seem possible without having to create an all-new Apple ID account. But I don't want to create a new account if it means having to change any of my current addresses/names/etc. to new/different ones. So, is what I described (deleting then re-creating using the same names/addresses/info) possible?
Thanks!

Oops, I realized I posted this question in the iPhone section by mistake. Is it possible to delete this message and re-post it over in the iPod Touch section?
My apologies for this mistake. Jd

Change my Apple ID e-mail address to my new iCloud e-mail?

I've had an Apple ID account for many many years and it was a "hotmail" account. I recently created a new iCloud e-mail address (@me.com) address and tried to change the current (hotmail) address to the new (@me.com) address but an error message comes stating "You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID". I searched the problem and appreantly it's a very common issue. I realize it is impossible at the current time to have this issue resolved, but are there any options? I don't want to use my current hotmail account anymore! But Apple keeps sending my receipts and uses my current hotmail account for communication. What to do? Could I at least let Apple use my (@me.com) address to receive iTunes receipts and notifications? It's good that I could use my iCloud e-mail to log in but the hotmail account still appears as my primary e-mail address. Please help. Thanks.

Unfortunately you can not change the primary address to an existing me.com or mac.com email address, but you can change your hotmail address to an other email address from another provider (like gmail, yahoo, gmx) and setup this account to forward all emails to your me.com address.
If you want an Apple ID with a me.com primary address. Then you will have to sign up again to create a new account. In this case you have to choose "free me.com address..." during the set up process. But note that you have no option to megre accounts, your former purchases will stay with your old Apple ID.

HT201342 I still have the question, "When would I use this new iCloud e-mail account?"

What do I do with this new iCloud e-mail address? What is it for? How does it benefit me? When would I choose to use this new iCloud e-mail address?

Whenever you want to use it, or not, it's your choice.

Need help with what to do if I want to change my apple id but my id is my icloud e-mail address

Hello,
I have spent days and hours trying to find a definite answer on what I can do with my situation. I have been able to figure out that I cannot change my apple id because my apple id is my icloud e-mail address. But does that leave me no option? Does that mean that I will have to create a new apple id and subsequently I will also get a new icloud e-mail address? If so, then how will I retain all of my purchases? Is it possible to delete my icloud account and then change my apple id?
I would really appreciate anyone that can give me a clear answer on this. Thanks!!

Sorry I missed this post earlier. For some reason I didn't get an email alert that you had posted.
If you want to want to change your Apple ID and your iCloud email address, you'll need to create a new Apple ID using the name you want, then create a new iCloud account with it and migrate your data to the new account. After creating your new Apple ID, save any photo stream photos on your iOS device that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account. You will then have to recreate your notes in the new account from the emails you sent earlier. When you turn on Mail in Settings>iCloud you will choose your new @icloud.com email address.
Once this is done on the first device, if you have other devices, you can just save any photo strema photos, delete the existing account, then choose Delete from My iDevice (since the data is already in the new account) and sign back in with the new ID to download the data.
You'll then have to decide if you want to keep using the old ID for iTunes or not. Personally, I wouldn't recommend changing it to a new ID for several reasons. First, all of your current purchased media is tied to the current ID and cannot be moved to your new ID. This means that you will end up with different things purchased with different IDs over time, which can make things complicated. Secondly, if you have already enabled automatic downloads, or have downloaded previous purchased using your old ID, you cannot change it to your new ID for 90 days from the time you first did this. Once this waiting period expires you can then change to the new ID and access previous purchases with your new ID, but you would not be able to access previous purchased from the old ID again for another 90 days. (This is what I mean by it being complicated to have multiple Apple IDs for iTunes purchases.)

Try logging out of iCloud and then log back in with your new Apple ID. Otherwise, ask in the iPhone community.

How can I remove my new iCloud e-mail and return my MS Outlook Contacts to my PC?

Greetings all,
Just got a new iPhone 5S. Wanted to backup 4s to iCloud so I entered iCloud setup. In going through the iCloud set up process I created an iCloud e-mail account despite having no need for one. It appeared as if it was a necessity ?, I use MS Outlook 2010 for e-mail. iCloud set up requested I create an iCloud e-mail, so i did. I do not need an iCloud e-mail. In the process of setting up the new iCloud e-mail, setup removed all my contacts from Outlook and sent them to the iCloud e-mail account, I assumed that the contacts would be copied, not moved. I no longer have any contacts in Outlook. I would like to remove the new e-mail account from iCloud and ensure that the associated contacts are returned to my PC properly. All the iCloud e-mail help areas I have looked through have not provided any guidance on this issue. Perhpas I only went down ten layers of info and this info is in the 15th layer down? Thanks for any guidance, Apple/PC folks. Craig

This is Craig 237B,
I just found the contacts for my Outlook account hidden in an iCloud folder in Outlook.
I still would like advice to remove my new iCloud e-mail and return Outlook to it's previous state, if someone knows this?
Thanks
Craig

Why won't my new Airport Extreme recognize my USB Hard drive? My MacBook recognizes it. I already have had a great deal of trouble connecting my printer to print wirelessly, but finally resolved that. Now I want to add the external drive with a USB por

Why won't my new Airport Extreme recognize my USB external hard drive. I put a USB port on the base station, and the system recognizes my printer. When I click on disks - it lists my printer, and when I click on Printers it lists my printer. What do I need to do to get it to recognize the external drive? BTW, the MacBook recognizes it, no problem. I have erased it and reformatted it. I am running the new Lion OS. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, I saw a post on one of these threads about a powered USB hub so I ran over to Office Depot and picked one up. I was finally able to see the HD in the Airport Utility. Yay!

Probably because your email provider is filtering it. The built-in Mail app has no mail filtering capabilities.
