[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1950552, member: 204485"] Back before Apple had email addresses I used my Gmail address to register with Apple. I still have that Gmail address as my Apple ID coupled with my Apple ID Password. That's my Apple ID for all things Apple but it's not my Apple email address. My Apple email address was allocated to me by Apple once they started providing one. Initially it was my [EMAIL]name@mac.com[/EMAIL], then my [EMAIL]name@me.com[/EMAIL] then more recently my [EMAIL]name@icloud.com[/EMAIL]. On an iPhone: If you want to set up or find your Apple email address go to Settings > accounts > email accounts > iCloud > iCloud Mail. On this page you will see the Default Apple email address/addresses allocated to you and have the option to create a new one. Bear in mind this does not change the email address that is part of your Apple ID. What does matter is that it be a reliable, functioning email account. If it isn't then you can change it but changing your Apple ID is a different topic and a time consuming, complex proceedure but it can be done and much preferable to creating a new ID. [/QUOTE]
