Won't Let me Set up iCloud Email

I am trying to set up an @me.com account with iCloud, but it won't let me. When I try it on Mac, it won't create, it will go back to the "Choosing your email" page, and when I do it on iOS, it says "There was a problem turning on your email, try again", and when I try again, it just repeats the same thing. I really need this email address and I don't know why it will not let me.

Is the Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher?  If so, you can add your account by going to System Preferences>iCloud, signing into your iCloud account, then checking Mail.  This will automatically add the existing email account.

  • Mac and iPod won't let me set up iCloud Mail. Server not responding.

    When I first got in to iCloud, my Mail app on my Mac and iPod were fine, but when U went back to them some time later, they kept requesting my password and then not connecting to the servers. I deleted the account from all Mail apps and tried to set them back up again, but now it says the servers aren't responding and won't let me continue setting up my accounts.
    I can send and recieve emails from icloud.com.
    Any help?

    I've just had another look at it, and it seems it doesn't save your password so keeps signing out before it gets a chance to connect with the servers. The tickbox next to the Mail icon under the iCloud section in System Preferences keeps deselecting itself. This also happens when trying to log into icloud.com, where it says "Keep me signed in", it doesn't keep you signed in.

  • Blackberry Curve 8530 won't let me set up my email

    When I go to the Setup file, thre is no icon for my email set up.  When I go to the setup wizard for my email, it doesn't give me the option for my personal email - only for a corporate account.  Help! I want my email on my phone!

    Hi,
    First, try to remove the battery and keep it out for at least 30 seconds.  Then put it back in and allow your device to restart.  See if that works.  If not, lets try something else.  We will now resend your service books.  Normally, you do this under Email Settings, but obviously, you can not do that route.  So, you need to resend your host routing table.  On your device, go to Options>Advanced Options>Host Routing Table.  Now, press the Menu key(button to the left of the trackpad) and select Register Now.  It will take a moment, but your device will be re-registered with the Blackberry Internet Service and you should recieve your service books, which will give you the option for Email Settings.  Hope this helps,
    Doc

  • Business catalyst won't let me set up email  with .media extension

    I have this domain - www.thinkchurch.media that I am using with a business catalyst hosted site. It will not let me set up an email with this domain for some reason even though I have the right hosting plan. It says, "This cannot be an email address."

    Hi Bradb725,
    We currently have a bug that the email accounts doesn't allow email accounts with more recent domain extensions. File a ticket or reach out to LiveChat support with a list of mailboxes you want and we can create them from our back-end. You won't be able to see these mailboxes in our Email accounts interface, but they'll work properly once they're created from our backend.
    Thanks,
    Florin

  • My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

    You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
    Hope I can help!

  • HT5312 I have two rescue email addresses but it won't let me send a rescue email, and I've forgotten my security questions! Please help!

    So, I've been trying to access my account to purchase a song, and I had to answer my security questions. Well, I haven't answered them in like a year or so, and I forgot the answers, and it won't let me send a rescue email though I have two verified rescue email addresses. .-. Pease help!

    Use the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article; if you didn't previously set up a valid rescue email address, which isn't the same as an alternate email address, only Apple itself can assist with recovering lost answers.

  • IPad won't let me set up Microsoft Exchange for Gmail

    My new iPad 3 won't let me set up a Microsoft Exchange acct for Gmail.  In Settings / Mail, Contacts, Calendars / Add Account / Microsoft Exchange I add all of the info, hit next and nothing happens - it just takes me back to the same screen with Next grayed out.  I followed the same steps on my iPod Touch and had no problems.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Quit the settings app and restart the iPad - then try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If the email account is appearing on the iPad - delete it and then try adding it back on.

  • My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

    My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
    Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

  • TS4002 How do you stop forward set on ICloud email?

    I set my ICloud email to forward to another email address and now cannot find how to turn it off. When I go to ICloud.com/mail to correct it, I only get "set up on this device" and ICloud is set up on all of my devices already.

    I finally figured this out so no response needed.

  • ICloud won't let me change my logon email address

    I reverted to an old backup and now iCloud wants to use an old email address for my login. I can't logon as a result and I can't figure out how to change it. Game Center, iTunes, etc. are all using the right one. But iCloud won't let me change it. I have tried to delete the account, but it won't let me unless I logon first (which I can't do). I have tried restoring network settings, privacy settings, and content settings. I have also tried to revert back to a more recent backup, but I can't until I turn on the "Find my iPhone" function, which require me to login to iCloud. Help!

  • It won't let me send a help email to recover security questions

    Hi,
    For some reason, when I was playing on an app, I wanted to buy something but it made me answer security questions, which I don't remember the answers to. When I wanted to send a help email, the link wasn't there for some reason. Now I can't reset them and I guessed to many times it won't let me do it. I need help trying to get a help email out so I can reset them. Please help.
