I literally switched my Apple ID from my gmail email address to my Apple @me.com email address today
@lackthought how did the switch go? Any friction or speed bumps?
it was smooth for me, I went to this address:
https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage
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
@lackthought, that sounds straight forward and easy. You ditching Google completely or just changing login?
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
