Hi all,
Originally I had a @me.com account and then I moved over to an @icloud.com account. However I am uncertain it the @me is still active or should I just delete it off my devices.

If the name preceeding the @me.com account is the same as the name preceeding the @iCloud.com account, then they are probably the same Apple ID. Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign on with your @me.com email address and password (which should be the same as the one you are using for iCloud.com). You will be able to see if the iCloud account you are referring to is showing on that Apple ID.
As for deleting them off of your devices - where is the @me.com address showing? Also, when you go to Settings>iCloud, what ID is showing as the Apple ID. You don't want to just sign off the @me.com account where it is signed in. Not sure what you mean when you indicate that you "moved over" to iCloud.com?
Cheers,

Hi Gail,
Yes the @me.com keeps popping up on my iphone 6+ every time I make a change in my contacts. Its like it issuing the old account to sync the Contacts. Does that make sense?

Hi Kingsley,
OK, so we need to establish where the @me.com Apple ID is signed on. Is it the Apple ID you see when you go to Settings>iCloud, Settings>iTunes & App Store? Under Mail, Contacts, Calendars is the Account your are using your iCloud account?

Hi Gail,
When I login into MyAppleID on the PC it shows both my primary and secondary email addresses, neither of which is the old @me.com account. That was going via System Tray->iCloud->manage ID,
On the Mac - System Preferences->Internet Accounts shows the correct iCloud account.
On the 6+:
Settings->iCloud - correct account
Settings->iTunes - ok
Seting->Mail - ahhh the old @me.com is listed there and the icloud account.
I have now Signed Out, and removed it from the 6+
I isn't on the Air2.
So far no error message or dialog box requesting the @me.com password.
All other functionality seems ok.
Cheers

Well, YAY!!! So it all boiled down to having two different Apple/iCloud IDs signed on in two different places...and it was the "hidden" one that was asking for the sign in, right?
If that is right, then you are good to go! 🙂
Thanks for posting back!

Thank you very much Gail, your guidance was invaluable. Thanks 😀
You are most welcome! Glad you are all set now 🙂 YAY!
Cheers,

how do I access my @me.com account or should I just delete it?
