Why iCloud is not working with your MobileMe

Just got off the phone with support and we figured out the problem with some MobileMe transitions. Here's some of the symptoms:
You can't add a MobileMe address in Mail & Notes.
You can't edit or access your MobileMe aliases on iCloud.com, sometimes related to above.
You can't access your MobileMe email.
Some of us thought that iCloud would free us somewhat from master and alias accounts, that we might be able to break the accounts out. The truth is that you need to "bless" your master MobileMe account in order for things to work properly in some cases. Here's my story.
I haven't used my MobileMe master account in years, it's just a spam magnet. I've been longing to get rid of it, but I need one of my aliases, which is my given [email protected]. So when I migrated to iCloud, I used the alias I wanted as my master iCloud account. I set things up, my email worked, etc. I heard a rumor I could then delete my master MobileMe account, the spam magnet.
Here it should be said that there are two preference panes that have identical features under Internet and Wireless in your System Preferences and it makes things very confusing. The whole iCloud pane is mirrored inside the Mail Contacts and Calendars pane under the iCloud account that you create.
So Mail & Notes was unchecked. If I tried to check it it asked for a me.com address. If I entered a me.com address that I already had, it said that address was taken. Someone in support earlier said to create a new email account so I did and iCloud created a whole new email account with three empty slots for aliases. But I couldn't access alias preferences. Now I had access to my mail in Mail.app, but on the web I had this empty brand new email account. Weird.
I created a iCloud account for my MobileMe master and it told me it was not the primary account and had less options than my alias-created account, now my iCloud master account. Do you follow? My Mobileme alias was my iCloud master, and my Mobileme master was a minor iCloud account.
So I decided I would delete the master iCloud account (hit minus sign), and the new, unnecessary email account disappeared from my Mail app and iCloud.com. So I had just the other iCloud account left, which was my master Mobileme account, but it wasn't blessed. iCloud told me I had to break the link to all accounts associated with it. I hit the minus sign and I kept getting the message.
So I restarted my iMac and went to the Mail Contacts and Calendars pane and the Mobileme account was back. I hit minus sign one more time, headed back to iCloud preference pane, and it asked me if I wanted to use the MobileMe account or a new one. I said Mobileme, and everything just added right in, the email worked, I was able to login to iCloud.com, my Mail.app was correct.
So if you want to migrate from MobileMe, just try to think of your iCloud account as exactly the same as your MobileMe master email when you migrate. The very first account you create in iCloud is your blessed account, so if it's not your master Mobileme you may have problems. You have to use the master as your login and then you can edit your aliases by going to the gear (right top corner) of the mail page on iCloud.com ->preferences->addresses. You can only delete them and color code them. If you delete any and you have more than three aliases, you can't recover the extra slots.
One last thing. When you migrate to iCloud, your MobileMe preference pane is worthless. The reason it exists is if you want to wait to migrate your MobileMe account, and you have until June 2012.
Hope this helps.

Why does Logic NOT work with your own OS?

ok, so far I have not been able to connect to my NAS box but now I can't run Logic Pro 9? It's Apples own *@%%!! application? What, so the team responsible for testing that bit were on holiday were they?

It's not our our own OS. You're not talking to Apple here.

While my iphone (6 plus) is synced with icloud, the contacts on icloud are several years old! My phone shows that it was backed up this morning to icloud. Any ideas on why icloud is not updated with my contacts?

Why RSS does not work with my OS X 10.8.2?

Why RSS does not work with my OS X 10.8.2? There was no problem before the upgrade to the Mountain Lion.

By clicking on the RSS icon I'm getting a message:
"No RSS reader is installed. Safari can't open the feed because Safari can't display RSS feeds"
In Chrome I get xml file of the RSS site.
Should I buy something what I didn't need with the Snow Leopard?
Thanks for your help.

Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out vertically in a stack on one page?

Why is scrolling not working with multiple youtube embeds layed out in a stack on one page?

Hi ,
This is a sort of performance issue , because your program takes more than the max time set for the program to execute in foreground.
There are many stuff in program which will hamper your performance.
I will list down a few
1. SELECT *
FROM konp
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE konp_itab
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN a363_itab
WHERE knumh EQ a363_itab-knumh
in this statement you are using for all entries a363_itab , but before this statement you are not checking if the table has any entry or not , please do remember that for all entries has this characterstic , that if you internal table does not contain any record , then all the records are selected from the database table. So in this case if you table a363_itab is empty , so what you want is no data must be seelcted from table konp , but what will happen is all the records in KONP will be seelcted.
2. While retreiving data you are using seelct * even though you do not require all the fields , an example is
<b>SELECT *
FROM mkpf
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE mkpf_itab
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN mseg_itab
WHERE mblnr EQ mseg_itab-mblnr.</b>
in this your internal table contains only 2 fields
<b>mblnr LIKE mkpf-mblnr, "Number of Material Document
bldat LIKE mkpf-bldat, "Document Date in Document</b> , but to get these 2 fields you are selecting all the fields of the table.
3. In select you are using into corresponding fields of table , it is not a good practice., so please avoidd it.
Please understand that you must try to reduce the access to your database tables and try to keep it minimal , because this same thing may happen becasue data in DEV is very less compared to the volume of data in production , so a program working in DEV will take much more time in PRD if not written properly and may result in timeouts , as in your case.
Please try to make chanegs to the prorgam and see if it works.
In case you have more queries , please do revert back.
Regards
Arun

ICloud sync not working with BBQ10

Hello.
Having recently swapped my iPhone 5 to BBQ10 I have been hit by an enormous amount of hassle. The main thing being the ability to sync my contacts and calender from my Mac on to the Q10.
I have followed the online instructions and it is not working. All I get is a white screen where something tries to load and nothing happens. I can't delete the account because then the white screen comes back with the loading logo. Then I have to reinstall the entire phone and start all over again. What am I doing wrong? I have the latest firware on the Q10 along with the latest Mac OS (10.8.4)
I am not a pure amateur but everything was really easy on the iPhone 5. It's a shame, I really want this to work but the Q10 is giving me no joy whatsover at the moment.
Please help!

WHY FCS WILL NOT WORK WITH CANON XH A1, NOW, EVER, ANYTIME? HELLOOO APPLE?

Well well. Trillions of dollars in Apple technology and canon ingenuity and yet these two behemoths of electronics and computer commercialism cannot create a simple easy to sue interface for a freaking Canon XH A1 camera. I have read forums, googled "compatibility issues", talked to friends, emailed people, and yet no one has stepped up with any assistance in this matter. What really hacks me off is that after spending thousands of dollars on Apple products, and numerous combinations of Final Cut Express, Pro, Studio, I have spent the better part of two weeks doing fresh installs, plugging fire wire cables in each and every port, trying numerous Canon cameras, and still, here at 633 am after all of this, my wonderfully complex Final Cut Studio now tells me that although it "knows" a camera is connected via fire wire, it does not recognize and will not initialize my camera. Furthermore, earlier this week when it DID recognize my camera, the video imported was forced to create clips which stopped a meaningless in and out points. In addition, the audio drifted from one second, to 1.5 seconds, and so on and so forth. Ladies,gentlemen, scribes, aficionados, and causal observers here this: I am officially fed up with having to work harder at getting my project ready to edit, than I ever did actually editing the project. This is sad, sick, silly and stupid. I don't know what's next blokes. Vegas Pro? Avid? I am just worn out by the numerous fixes, upgrades, work around, plug ins filters and tech experts who still can't tell me why Final Cut Studio will not simply let me import my freaking video. I'm done with this silliness. Goodbye Apple! Goodbye Final Cut! I have better things to do with my life than researching subjects that have more contradictions than a rubics cube. i am going to get some sleep, spend time with my wife, and get some fresh air. I hope my apple implodes, and I'll use the FCP disks for coasters when I am sipping my cold brew. ARGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!

i jsut came across your posting. I have never replied to a posting before but i am in your case. I use the saem camera you do and had the same problems you are facing with your setup. I spent days and hours trying to figure out my problems. Finaly i read that you could reset the camera. And I did and it worked. Open the view finder on top of the camera and you will see the tiny reset hole. Stick a pin in there for around 15 seconds and that should reset it back to the factory settings. I think you have played with too many settings on the camera and it is jumbled this is waht happend to me. then go into final cut, but do not attatch your camera yet and click on the EASY set up tab and set your importing to match what ever you shot your video at. You cannot 60i video on a 30f setting they have to be the same.
Alex
P.S.
Please look at your manual for reseting your camera, I am just going off memory and it has been two years when I reset mine. Here is some of the video I have shot with my Canon(W/Final Cut) Click onh the HD button if you have a fast connection.

ICloud does not work with Thunderbird 7.0.1. Any resolution?

Migrated to iCloud from MobileMe and reset imap server and password on Thunderbird per Apple guidnace (article HT4864) for third party setup. Does not accept password or reach server. Webmail access to iCloud via browser works fine, so password is correct. Any resolution or ideas? Thunderbird worked fine with MobileMe. Can I go back to MobileMe until Apple gets this figured out? (windows 7 prof, TB 7.0.1)

You see, that happens if one does not read the famous "minimum system requirements". They are not stated for joy and fun.
In other words :
on OSX Lion you must use iCal/Adress Book/ Apple Mail
on Windows Vista and Win7 you must use Outlook 2007 or 2010.
"Thunderbird" is just some "other" clients. And it is nowhere written that it is supported. Just like nowhere is written that XP or some older OSX is supported. Nex time read the requirements better.

ICloud Photostream not working with Windows 7 or 8.1

Since iOS8 came out, my Windows PC's have not been working with the iCloud Photostream. I have gone through 4.0 - 4.0.2 now, with no success. I have tried all the supposed fixes. My MAC works fine updating, but not any of my PC's. I just can't make the Photostream update as it used to. The idea was to Sync all pictures from my iPhone across all devices, not just the Apple ones. Does anyone have any suggestions?

This has been driving me nuts for several months now and no one seems to have an answer.
