Changing Apple ID ?

[BEN_UK]

Hello,

Since updating to iOS 5 I have moved over to iCloud for my e-mail client from Gmail.

Managed to move all my accounts over to the @me.com address.

The only one i cant seem to sort is with Apple lol

My Apple ID for itunes and icloud login is still showing as the @googlemail.com

How can i remove that gmail address and replace with my new @me.com address ??

Thanks Ben

Thanks for the advice/info.

I have been able to log in to the managed my Apple ID.

Apple ID and Primary Email Address is set to the gmail address.

I have been able to add an Alternate Email Addresses which is the @me.com one.

If i try to edit the primary address i get this error,

You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID

It allows me the sign in with the @me.com address.

Would be nice to total remove anything to do with gmail though.

I'm not sure if this is still possible, or if it was down to the type of account I've had/have, but my apple I'd is just an username, not a email address so there's no @blah.blah needed at the end to log in. Might be worth a try for some.

If i try just the user name for login to iCloud i just this error message,

Apple ID Update Required

You Must change your Apple ID login to an e-mail address

So the user name has to have the @me.com or @googlemail.com part to login.

Will wait on Apple for a fix/solution
