    it was smooth for me, I went to this address:

    https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage

    • Signed in with my existing gmail Apple ID
    • clicked the Apple ID link to change my address
    • entered my @me.com address
    • grabbed the verification code from my email

    and that was pretty much it, now I can sign in with my @me address for Apple ID

    I didn’t even need to log out on any of my devices, they display the @me address in the settings as my Apple ID instead of the gmail address

        trying to ditch google entirely

        I already changed about a dozen services from my gmail address to my @me address, but I have a ton more I need to track down

        I also set gmail to forward all emails to my @me address so I can monitor stragglers since I anticipate I will be getting emails to gmail for a while still

          @lackthought , I tried to move from Google and found it hard to get people to change my email address in their contacts. I am still using email forwarding from my gmail. The one product from Google I would feel like it would be difficult to give up would be YouTube.
