Just bought a secondary phone for when I am Camping, but this one is Android, trying to configure my @me.com account on the phone, I think there are settings that need to be changed but I am not sure what they are, does anyone know?

Important. They changed things lately.

You must log into apple iD on apples site and go down to security add third party support. It will then generate a password (different from your usual) and then simply create an account on your android device and enter this specific password and your account will work.

So head on over yo apple ID to sort this first.

Thanks it would seem I need to turn off the multi security I have on my account in order to use that email account? Might just be easier to forward that email account to my gmail at this point as I have other Apple devices and do not want to mess with the security, or just go to an iPhone 6 ? but thanks for all the help :)
