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

@lackthought, that sounds straight forward and easy. You ditching Google completely or just changing login?

[–] lackthought@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

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
