Hi all,
I'm sure there are enough Apple brains on IIS to help me understand this iCloud/Apple ID I'm about to create.
I have a new iPhone and next week I'm purchasing a new iMac. I have stated the registration process but it is asking me for a current email address. It seems that my gurrent gmail address is used for logging into my Apple account. I thought the whole point of the iCloud was to create an iCloud email address (in my case for example,
russ59@icloud.com) and therefore you are independent of another email service. Isn't iCloud a standalone email service? Have I completely misunderstood the iCloud service? I understand I want to use it for my iTunes and syncing all my devices through the iCloud service, but what if I only want to use the iCloud email address and no other??
Cheers,
Russell.
