    I literally switched my Apple ID from my gmail email address to my Apple @me.com email address today

        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.
