Using alternative email for iMessage & facetime
Hi there.
My apple id is *******@gmail.com
I have been using my ******@me.com address for all my emails, imessage, and facetime.
I am fully aware that apple will not let me change my apple id & primary address to me.com. So the ******@gmail.com is essentially a username.
However for the past year or so i have had no issue at all using my ******@me.com address for signing into imessage & facetime.
Today i cannot use my *******@me.com to sign into my factime or imessage. It throws up and message saying "Error description not availible" when i try to sign into imessage or facetime.
it only gives me the option to recieve at my ****@gmail.com adresses.
It is to be noted that i can still sign into itunes etc. using *****@me.com as my apple id. also me ***@me.com emails work fine.
So i went onto the edit my apple id page and signed in.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
it looks like
Apple ID & Primary Email address
Alternate apple id
Alternate email address
NONE
(i tried putting in my ***me.com and my ****@gmail.com addresess and it simply does not let me.
Also i cannot get my new ****icloud.com address to work in anyway. Send, receive. Nothing. And yes i have added it to accounts etc.
Your help would be much appreciated
