Set @me.com adress as primary?

Hello!

I've played with Find my iPhone, and selected on my Mac "Email me when the Mac is found"

Opened the Mac, no email! My primary adress is the @me.com one (i use it the most) but in my account i see the Apple ID as a Gmail one. I don't want to use Gmail anymore. Today i checked the Gmail, and the FInd My iPhone mail was there! What can i do so that it'll send mails on the @me.com instead of Gmail?


Thanks!

I'm not understanding Winston Churchill is saying users can't create an iCloud account with an @me.com address, when in fact, every user with an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch/Lion is given three free accounts that can use an @me.com address.


Unless he's trying to say something different, on every brand new device (ie, iPhone, iPad), if the user selects iCloud in the Settings menu ... the user can Create a New Apple ID and select to use an existing email address OR create a new name using an @me.com address.


This has happened with all of our accounts. I've checked appleid.apple.com and verified that it in fact is an @me.com address at the end of my Apple ID.


andreigherghe:

If you created a new Apple ID the same way I did, then that new Apple ID becomes a new main iCloud account. You won't be able to link it to another account since it's already a primary account.


Are you saying that when you log into Find My iPhone with your username@me.com in the username/email field, that the emails are still being received at a different email address that isn't your username@me.com email? If that's the case, have you checked appleid.apple.com to see what the listed primary email is for your username@me.com (log in with that Apple ID).

Since you have blocked out the e-mail addresses I cannot be entirely sure, but find it very hard to accept that those are both the same me addresses.


I realise I can only take your word for it, but for the avoidance of doubt please confirm that the me address used as an alternate address in your Gmail ID is the same as the me address in the other account where it is used as your ID.


Otherwise I believe it is correct that you cannot create a new account using a me address.
