A solution for notes, non-icloud email, itunes

Wondering if anyone out there can see what I have done...
ok, let me explain...
Up until an hour ago, I was syncing my iphone4s, ipad2 & Mac "manually" in itunes so my calendar, "notes", contacts updated on all the devices.
At this point, I need to make it clear that my itunes email account I use for all devices is my personal yahoo account.
I also have a .me email account added on my mac mail and my iphone and ipad so I can check those too.
I also have my business mail as well added to all my devices.
now... on my Mac, my notes are mostly set under Reminders under "On My Mac". with the exception of a couple which are in "MobileMe" (For some reason)
So, as I said at the beginning, I have just moved over to icloud, and I did it in this way:
On My Mac, I went to iCloud in System Prefs, I entered my iTunes email and password, and let it do the rest itself, I didn't change anything else, I notied that Mail & Notes wasn't sync'd by default.
I did the same on my iphone and my Ipad.(Apart from a few dupes in my Calendar, all is fine on that front)
Next I thought... What about my notes? how do I get those to sync? so, I went in to the tick box on the Mac, and its now asking me to choose an iCloud @me.com account? am I right in thinking you can only do this with a @me.com account? and if so, what woudl be the best thing to do here?
Only a guess here, but I guess I could use my @me.com email and password and then move all my notes over from "On My Mac" to "MobileMe" ?
Much appreciated if anyone can get their head around how I have come to this.
Thanks!

What do you mean "let it do the rest itself"?  Did you browse to mobileme.com and go throught the process of upgrading from MobileMe to iCloud?

  • I have a problem. My Apple ID is not my icloud email address my Apple ID is my msn account, but I need to reset the password for my icloud email because I can't remember what it is. How do I do that?

    I have a problem. My Apple ID is not my iCloud email, my msn is my Apple ID, but I need to reset the password for my icloud email address because I can't remember what it is. How can do I reset my iCloud emaill password when it's not my Apple ID??

    Your iCloud and @icloud.com login ID is an Apple ID. Go to http://appleid.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use to sign into iCloud (you can check this by going to http://www.icloud.com and signing in there).
    Click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar and you will be able to change the password.
    HOWEVER
    Before you do this you must turn off 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' if you have it enabled on any of your devices, otherwise you will land yourself in difficulties.

  • I do not receive verification email for changing my iCloud email address

    i would like to change my iCloud email address e.g.   change from: [email protected], to: [email protected]
    I do not receive verification email for changing my iCloud email address, even though it says verification email sent.
    I also tried the "forgot apple ID" option to change it that way, i received an email but it was for resetting my password.
    is there anyway i can change it?

    Hello, skengzz. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I see you are experiencing an issue receiving the verification email.  Here are a couple articles that will help you with this.  Make sure to also check your junk folder on your mail account for this email.

  • Can Multiple email accounts on Galaxy S4 sync with iCloud & non-iCloud email?

    Hello… has anyone successfully set up multiple email accounts (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T/etc.) on their Samsung Galaxy S4 Jelly Bean 4.2? I searched the forums and it has been said that configuration settings depend on the combination of wireless service provider + device model + email providers + Android version.
    My S4 is from AT&T and if this scenario can't work, I have to cancel my contract in a few days (although that would be the last resort). From checking the forums, not everyone has been able to get the S4 to work with iCloud. In my case, I hope to sync up with iCloud and non-iCloud email which might be trickier.
    Here is one thread that helps with settings, but doesn't seem to address multiple or non-iCloud accounts: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22435596#22435596
    Some background info…
    Although Gmail just works on Android devices, I plan to primarily use Apple/Yahoo/AT&T email (at least initially).
    I don’t yet have Apple mail/iCloud, but plan to. I am partially switched to the Mac (Mtn Lion), but haven’t completed the jump from Windows.
    I don’t have an iPhone (so hopefully that makes the setup less complicated.)
    I mostly care about email on the S4 (I’m not concerned about syncing up contacts, calendar, music, etc.).
    Apologies for the long post, but hopefully I’ve included the necessary background info for the questions below:
    Is it possible to setup multiple (iCloud/Yahoo/AT&T) emails on the Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T so that they sync nicely?
    From the S4, if I reply to an email, will the Sender in the email reply be the same account which received the email? Or, (as I’ve read in the excerpt below) will the Sender for all email replies from the S4 be set from a fixed/primary account?
    Although the first two questions above are the most urgent for now, I'd appreciate pointers if you see something that should be changed in the configuration settings below.
    Thanks in advance!

    After spending quite some time trying to get my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II setup with iCloud mail, this is what finally worked. Thanks to everyone for the various bits that helped lead me in the right direction. For those who need lots of detail, I hope the below helps. Please don't ask me about any other specific Android phones as I'm not expert but thought someone out there could benefit from my experience. 
    INCOMING SERVER SETTINGS
    User Name: username (do not enter @me,com or @mac.com)
    Password: (enter your password)
    IMAP server: imap.mail.me.com
    Security type: SSL
    Port: 993
    IMAP path prefix: p##- (you can find this by checking your account settings on your Mac. Mine was p03- so that's what I entered here)
    Press NEXT
    OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS
    SMTP server: smtp.mail.me.com
    Security type: TLS
    Port: 587
    check the box next to "Require sign-in" if it's not already checked
    User name: username  (do not enter @me.com or @mac.com)
    Password (enter your password)
    Press NEXT
    Your phone will check the server settings and you should be able to see your email now.
    And another poster provided these additional tips…
    Definitely select SSL/TLS and accept all certificates
    Now here's the zinger: Authentication should be LOGIN
    After figuring this out, I finally (after many hours of searching and testing) got to my outgoing server settings, which are: smtp.me.com
    NONE for security type
    Tic "Require Sign-in"
    Authentication is PLAIN
    And another poster's question about the Sender's email address for multiple accounts…
    Managed to get this all set up however, Android only seems to allow you to send from your primary address and only reply from your primary address even if a mail was sent to one of the other addresses.
    Any ideas how to get around this as I have three addresses beneath my primary which I need to both send from and reply from.

    You're unlikely to find many people with experience of configuring multiple email accounts on a specific Samsung device, here on the Apple forum for an Apple service. Try the Samsung forums for help setting up your Samsung phone.
    There are a few posts with general info relating to setting up an iCloud email account on Android here if you search though.

  • Does email sync over iCloud also support sync of non iCloud email accounts?

    I use mac, ipad and iphone with sync over iCloud. While ipad and iphone sync emails of both iCloud and non iCloud email accounts, email sync between mac and ios devices works only for iCloud email account.
    Please clarify whether iCloud should sync emails of both iCloud and non iCloud email account across all apple devices (mac, iphone, ipad) or it is not designed to do so.
    Thank you.

    Thank you for clarification.
    However, after rechecking everything again, I can cofirm that full sync of all email accounts (icloud and non icloud) on all apple devices works perfectly as long emails originate from ios device. Unfortunately, this does work if email is sent from mac.
    Thanks again.

  • I have taken off/turned off iCloud on my mac mini but when I write an email   and use contacts it will convert a non iCloud email to and iCloud email automatically.  I really don't want this. Any way to stop this automatic conversion?

    I have taken off/turned off iCloud on my mac mini (OS 10.8) but when I send an email and use contacts , it will convert the non - iCloud email to an iCloud email automatically.  Anyway to stop this automatic conversation?    

    Robert...
    the iCloud webserver wont accept my password for a .mac login, nor will it allow me to change it
    See if you can change your password >  Apple - My Apple ID
    If that doesn't help, launch iTunes on your computer.
    From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
    Click OK.
    Restart your computer.
    If that that doesn't help...
    Moreover, when I try to go into my .mac account on the web,
    Delete all apple cookies and empty your browser cache.
    See if  you can access your account at iCloud.com

  • HT202667 I don't know the password to my iCloud email account. My Apple and iTunes ID is not my iCloud email address. How do I find my iCloud password? I would like to add this email address to a mail app.

    I Downloaded an app that keeps all address' in one place. I went to add my iCloud email and when asked for my password, nothing I tried worked. It is obviously not the same password that I use to login to my Apple or iTunes account. How do I find out my password?

    Hi Kim,
    The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
    After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.
