Log in to apple e-mail. Create iCloud mail on iOS

Moving from iPhone to Android smartphone? Everything suits you, but almost immediately you realize that you left important materials in the mail for iPhone? Unfortunately, users quite often encounter a similar problem and are interested in how to log into iCloud from Android and what is required for this.

iCloud on Android: is it possible

Apple and Google software are in constant conflict and there is no official entrance to iCloud via Android. It will not be possible to install the application of this mail through Google Play, and it is impossible to find it on the Internet.

If you try to transfer iCloud over Bluetooth to your phone and install it this way, the system will definitely give an error... Likewise with the online version: by typing in an e-mail address in the search engine, we get to a gray non-working page with the text "This connection is not supported" or "Your browser does not fit."

But do not despair, there is still a way out. Apple services can be made to work on Android, and how - we'll figure it out now.

To do this, you need regular mail already installed on your Android device. Gmail is totally unsuitable, but a standard app called Email is ideal. Also allowed "Yahoo", "Outlook". Have you decided on the mail? Great, now we open it and begin to perform the following actions strictly with the instructions:

1. Enter the first necessary data: full iCloud address and username (the text before the "@" sign);
2. Necessarily click "Manual setting". If you try to log into iCloud using only your address and password, nothing will work;
3. Next, we drive in the password. Please note that it is almost impossible to restore it on Android, so be careful!
4. In the next column we write "Mail.me.com". No commas, spaces or capital letters;
5. Choosing the type of protection, most often it is SSL, according to the certificate;
6. We indicate the port 993 ... Don't try to change the numbers to match your operating system. All data should be indicated only with instructions;
7. The last line, namely "IMAP path" skip;
8. Click "Next" and proceed to the necessary fine-tuning SMTP server;
9. In the "Address" field, duplicate the already entered one, only instead of « imap» we write « smtp»;
10. We indicate the same protection, it is also allowed TSL;
11. In place of the port we drive in numbers 587 .
12. Ready. All the required data have been entered. Click "OK", and if you receive a notification about authentication, we agree.

Now it becomes possible to work with messages from iCloud on Android. But photos, videos, documents are still inaccessible, since they are located in the Cloud. How to solve this problem, we will discuss below.

Other options for logging into mail

You can try other applications, Google Play provides a huge number of email services to choose from. If the above method seemed too complicated and intricate to you, you can simplify the task a little. For this we use the postal service myMail... It only requires an email address and password, no other network information is required. Unfortunately, this method does not always work.

How to sign in to iCloud on Android

You won't be able to access the Cloud directly from an Android phone. The only way out is to choose its own way for each type of information. Let's take an example of the most used materials.

Transferring contacts

To do this, you will also need access to a computer, since Google has a built-in service specifically designed to store the phone book. After synchronization, the contacts from the icloud will be placed there. Begin:

1. Open the main page of your Google account on your PC, log in with your password and username;
2. Push "Contacts", further, you can choose from import and export. Accordingly, import suits us. Click on "Other postal service";
3. Enter your iCloud data. Made.

After a successful procedure, all the necessary numbers will be on your Google account, from where they can already be freely used on an Android device.

It is advisable that before that the contacts were stored directly in the phone, and not on the SD card.

Transferring data from the calendar

Your Apple calendar had important data, such as appointments, urgent events, birthdays of friends and colleagues, but you lost access to it when you switched to Android? Don't worry, the situation is fixable here, everything can be solved in a few clicks using a special application. Sync for iCloud.

This application is specially released for smartphones running on Android, so the operating system will not conflict with it. The program has no special functionality, but with its main task: transferring calendar data from aikloud - it does an excellent job. There are some useful pluses in it:

• Completely free, all options are provided to the user at no additional cost;
• You can easily work with iCloud on Android. That is, you will not only get access to the previously drawn up calendar, but you will be able to carry out the necessary operations with it in real time;
• You can create multiple accounts on one device;
• Do you want to make the icloud calendar the main one on your phone, because the built-in one doesn't suit you for some reason? No problem, just turn it on in "Default" settings.

Transferring music

Here, too, the situation is quite simple, you just need to use a well-known application Google Play Music... This player program is surprisingly well-disposed to work with IOS devices. By installing it on your smartphone, you can easily access media files in the Cloud. Also, do not forget about special products from Amazon that allow you to connect multiple accounts. The perfect solution is Amazon Cloud Player.

Registering an iCloud account on iPhone 4S, 5S, 6, 7 will provide you with 5 GB of storage space for free. In addition to the cloud space, use the "@ icloud.com" mail (it can be used only on Apple devices). E-mail has evolved from a means of communication, into an integral tool of work, opening up ample opportunities for the user.

This is a cloud storage, a service of the company that provides device synchronization, stores personal information of the user, allowing the use of the "find an iOS device" function. The resource offers 5 GB of free space upon registration. Get more storage for an extra cost. There are no ads on the service. The storage is fully adapted to the environment of iOS gadgets and OS OS X. To get rid of spam, virtual boxes are created - aliases.

Be sure to back up iPhone data before restoring or updating firmware. To create a copy means to protect the user's information from deletion. A copy is created according to step-by-step instructions: connect your phone to the Internet (there must be a good signal). In the system settings go to "iCloud". Move the toggle switch to the active position opposite "backup" or "iCloud copy ". Click "create". Until the process is completed, do not disconnect the Internet.

You can check if a copy has been created in the cloud storage section. Go to "storage", "management". Specify the active device. A file with the date and time of the copy creation will be displayed here.

For automatic backups: activate the "backup" toggle switch in the cloud storage section. Connect your phone to power. Turn on the internet. Lock the screen of the gadget. Make sure there is enough storage space for the data to be backed up. The current copy is saved over the previous one. You can save any data, be it videos, pictures or contacts.

How to create iCloud mail?

For successful registration, you need iOS above 5.0 for mobile devices, and OS X Lion 10.7.4 , or newer. Create mailing address @ icloud.com on Windows OS will not work. There are two ways to create e-mail: from an iPhone and from a PC.

How to create an icloud on an iPhone from a computer?

You can create a new email address through the system settings. In the search bar, enter "iCloud" and go through the search results to the section. Or click on the section of the same name below in the list. Click Create Apple ID. Indicate the place of residence, personal information. Provide truthful data, this will help when restoring access to your account.

When you see the item "Apple ID", place the marker next to the column "receive free e-mail in iCloud". Below, in the e-mail field, enter the name of the mail. Enter your personal information. If you want to receive mailing letters, put a checkbox in front of the mailing list. Click "next".

Pick any three questions and answer them. It is better to write down this information on paper. Save it in a secluded place, it will help you restore access to your account if necessary. Add a backup email address. Additional mail provides an additional opportunity to restore access to your account in the future. Click "next".

Mail registration is completed by notification. Follow the link in the letter from the Apple service to activate your account. To confirm the backup address, enter your login (e-mail) and password. To use a new email address as an Apple ID, connect your PC account in the "iCloud" section of the system settings.

Windows is not suitable for @ icloud.com registration. Register mail in advance with your Apple device. To sign in and use mail, use iCloud.com through the mail app.

How to create mail on iPhone?

On iPhone 4, turn on 3G or Wi-Fi, the signal should be good. Open the section "mail, addresses, calendars" in the system settings. Click "add account", at this stage specify the type of mail. Click "Create ID" and fill in your personal information in the fields. Provide real information about yourself, this will allow you to verify your identity in case of loss of access to your account.

When you get to the "Apple ID" section, select the item "get free e-mail in iCloud", "next". Enter the name of the new address in the column, click "next". Come up with a complex password of 8 or more characters. Content of at least one number is required. There should be no repetitions of three signs in a row. The password must be in upper and lower case letters.

List three questions and write the answers to them. Record this information and save it. It is useful for restoring access to your account. Add an additional email address. The address is useful for resetting your password if you forget the secret code. Place the toggle switch in the active position opposite the column about receiving information from the company's services, if you want to receive them. Read the user agreement, click "accept".

Confirm the additional address by following the special link in the letter. To complete activation, enter your email name and password. This record will be an identifier if you connect it to your iPhone in iCloud. The peculiarity of the identifier, in the name of which there is "@ icloud.com" - the inability to change the address in the record ID.

Can't change the name of the old mailbox

When you create an Apple ID account from @ icloud.com, you cannot edit your mailbox. A new account is created for the shift. There is a loophole in this situation. Create an alias. You can create up to three pseudo-addresses. Use this pseudonym as your email address and indicate it to contact you. Automatically, a letter sent to a pseudo-address will be redirected to the main mailing address.

Android and iOS are extremely reluctant to take steps towards each other, so basic things like accessing online storage or transferring data often have to be done using third-party applications. This also applies to opening iCloud on an Android device: you can access the service from iPad, iPhone, Mac, PC, but Android devices remain outside the list of allowed devices.

There is no full-fledged standalone iCloud app for Android, so every step of the way, be it transferring contacts, syncing a calendar, or copying files, has to find a new way. In theory, the solution would be to use the iCloud web interface. It is available on Mac and PC, but when you try to visit icloud.com from an Android device, you will see a notification that the browser is not supported. Interestingly, on Windows, you can use not only the web version, but also a separate application, which is configured in the same way as on Apple devices. At the same time, Android remains a completely isolated environment, with which it is very difficult to establish communication from iOS or Mac OS.
If you search for applications that work with iCloud on Google Play, then you will find only programs that perform strictly specific functions:

• Sync for iCloud - to sync your calendar.
• Synchronization for iCloud Mail - mail service synchronization.
• Sync for iCloud Contacts - sync contacts.

If you only need iCloud to transfer contacts or sync your calendar, then the functionality of these applications will be quite enough. To synchronize e-mail, you can do without third-party software at all. You just need to set up your mail client on Android.

Setting up iCloud mail on Android

Usually two clients are installed on Android - Gmail for Google mail and Email for other mail services. To set up receiving emails from your iCloud mailbox, use the built-in Email app.

• Email - Repeat the iCloud email address.
• Username is the part of the email address before @ icloud.com.
• Password - repeat the email access code.
• Server - imap.mail.me.com.
• Security type - SSL or SSL with all certificates accepted.
• Port - 993.

You do not need to fill in the IMAP path prefix. After entering all the data, click "Next" to start configuring the SMTP server.

• The address is smtp.mail.me.com.
• The username and password are the same as in the IMAP settings.
• Protection - SSL or TSL.
• Port 587.

If prompted for authentication, click Yes. After setup, all messages from iCloud will be automatically duplicated in the mail client on Android. If the procedure turned out to be too complicated, you can significantly simplify the task of data synchronization by using special applications - for example, myMail or [email protected] Mail. They do not need to separately configure IMAP and SMTP, it is enough to specify the iCloud mail address and password.

Other ways to access iCloud

If you are looking for how to access iCloud services from Android, not only for the sake of messages in the mail, but also to gain access to the rest of the data, then you will have to look for other ways to synchronize information. Making iOS and Android friends is not so easy, but there are still proven methods.

If you need to transfer contacts, you can use built-in Google Contacts or transfer the data as a vCard file. In the second case, you first have to go to iCloud from your computer, export the data to a separate file, and then import it into Google services. The first way is much more convenient:

The only drawback of this method is that some independent company gets access to the data during synchronization. Therefore, many users ignore this method, preferring to transfer contacts in a file or use CardDAV applications.
CardDAV allows you not only to transfer contacts, but to enable their synchronization, that is, as soon as the data on iCloud is updated, similar changes will occur in the Android phone book. The main thing is to specify the server p02-contacts.icloud.com, Apple ID and enable synchronization only from the server to the phone.

ICloud stores not only contacts, letters, and calendar entries, but also multimedia files. With their transfer, too, everything is not so rosy, but there are certain shifts in content synchronization between iOS and Android. For example, if you want to combine music, use the Google Play Music app.
The service has an iOS client, so you can easily access tracks stored on iCloud. Another way is the Amazon Cloud Player app. He also has clients for iOS and Android, which can be combined with one account, thus gaining access to a common music collection.

If you purchased content on a paid YouTube channel, you can easily access it from the official video hosting client on Android and iOS. Online services are generally the best way to view content. They work in the same way on any device, without imposing any special system requirements.

If you switched to Android, but want to use your Apple mail and do not know how to do it, then our instructions have been created especially for you. In this article, we will tell you how to log into icloud from an android and set up mail from an iPhone on a new device.

Many Apple tools run exclusively on native software. For example, you won't be able to use iMessage on Android. Fortunately, these issues don't occur with iCloud.

First of all, you will need an application password.

Apple currently uses two-factor authentication by default on iPads, iPhones, and Mac OS computers. Thus, the first thing you need to do is set an application password. Do not be alarmed, it is very simple to do this, but without such an operation you will be inundated with notifications of incorrect actions (either the e-mail address or the password was entered incorrectly).

You will need to go from the browser to the official Apple website. For you, this is already a familiar and familiar login form, where an account and an Apple ID account were previously created. Here you can work with your Apple ID. Log into your account (an iPhone or other gadget is useful for passing two-factor authentication) and study the security section.

The headline will read "APP-SPECIFIC PASSWORDS". You will also see a link with which you can generate a password.

Type in the name of the password. ‘Android Email’ will do. You will be able to identify which third-party applications are running for you to access your Apple ID.

Click Create. After that, you will see the password generated in automatic mode. You will need it in a minute.

How to enter iCloud mail from android through settings

To set up an icloud email account on an android device, open the "Settings" section on your smartphone. Everything will depend on the model of your gadget. In most cases, for such a purpose, you just need to scroll down to the icon you need. It is possible that you will have to scroll again, since the first time there will be only certain shortcuts.

Now you should find the account menu. On a Pixel 2 (Android 8) smartphone, this menu is called Users & accounts.

Scroll down until you see + Add account.

Then click on the “Personal (IMAP)” option. There is a Gmail icon next to it. Type in your email.

In theory, you don't need to add “@me” or “@ icloud.com”. However, if nothing works without them, add this part as well.

Server settings should be automatically identified. In the upper left corner, enter the previously generated application password.

Your email should start syncing and appear in the Gmail app along with your other email accounts. To switch between accounts, click the menu icon (three horizontal lines in the upper left corner), and then click on the email address shown, or on the rounded labels (this is necessary to display other accounts).

To see your email, click on @me or @icloud.

We manually configure iCloud IMAP, if the previous steps did not help

If you need a manual installation, you can always use the following information:

If you are required to enter an email or username for the outgoing server, place a bet on the full email address. If you have any security problems, choose TSL over SSL.

conclusions
