[QUOTE="Command Alt Ego, post: 1309870, member: 158675"] Here's my situation. 1. I already have a MobileMe account. 2. My Apple ID is not my MobileMe email. It's a Yahoo! email. 3. In my Settings/iCloud on my iPhone(3GS), everything syncs fine except turning on email. When I flip the toggle to enable email syncing, up pops the window with my correct (Yahoo!) email as my Apple ID. 4. I enter my password, and everything's still fine. 5. I now get a pop-up window asking me to create an iCloud email, which is to end with "me.com". 6. Since I already have a me.com email, which I want to keep, I "recreate" that same email. 7. I get an error message telling me that ID is already taken. Duh, it's mine. I called Applecare, and they told me they didn't know the answer to that, as they themselves are new to iCloud. Any suggestions? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
