24 Hours and Counting with No iCloud Email

I've done all the troubleshooting steps, then called Apple support who told me the problem is with the server. It's in the Status report, although it says >1% affected. I'd at least like to report this to Apple, does anyone have a contact email?

According to the System Status page, iCloud is having issues for some people. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
The absolute best thing you can do is contact AppleCare directly. If it's a problem with your account or with iCloud's Mail server, they will know and find a fix for you.
You can schedule a callback on Express Lane: https://expresslane.apple.com/
Also, Apple as a rule does not officially monitor these discussion boards. However, they do read feedback, and it would serve you well to let them know directly the issue(s) you are facing.

I encourage anyone who is experiencing issues with iCloud to contact AppleCare and submit feedback via the link above.

I know this is going to sound stupid but I can't seem to set up my email as an iCloud email account. I want to eliminate my aol account and transfer everything to iCloud with an iCloud email. How do I do this.

If your Mac is running OS X 10.7.5 or higher, you first have to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, then check Mail. This will automatically add an iCloud email account.
To transfer your AOL mail, you need to drag and drop them into the same folder in the iCloud account. If you have any folders in your AOL mail, you would need to create folders by the same name in the iCloud account, then open each folder, select all the mail in the folder and drag and drop them on the folder by the same name in your iCloud account. (To create a folder in the iCloud account, click the "+" at the bottom of your folder list, choose Create Mailbox, choose iCloud as the location and give it a name.)

I've already dealt with my MobileMe Albums, and now Aperture 3.3.1 is stuck on moving them -- 28 hours and counting. How do I stop it?

Quit Aperture
Then disconnect from internet (WiFi, Ethernet, etc.)
Launch Aperture again.
In the Aperture Preferences Web Tab remove MobileMe.
After that you can connect again to to the Internet.
Probably the "Quit" button does not work. Then try to quit using the Terminal to avoid "Force Quit":
Launch the Terminal (from Applications > Utilities) and enter
killalll Aperture
If this does not work, use "Force Quit".
See here why to avoid force quitting:

I have been having issues with my iCloud email on my iMac. For some time period, everyday, it won't reload and often shows symbols instead of letters for the text. Any ideas how to solve?

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

You have now exceeded your iCloud storage, including an additional amount provided to allow you to continue receiving email. As a result, you will not be able to send or receive new email messages with your iCloud email address until you free up storage space or buy more storage. I have 20GB remaining. WHat is the issue here?

Today I received the same message but have 4.6gb available from a total of 5.0gb. I also received the same message when i first set up my icloud account and icloud was virtually empty. Unfortunately the only way i can see to contact apple is to pay for a telephone call. If anyone knows what is going on i would appreciate knowing.

FaceTime between Mac and iPad with one iCloud account?

I moved my MobileMe account to iCloud and want to set up my Mac so I can call my new iPad with FaceTime. In the iCloud system preferences I have "Mail and Notes" unchecked but the sole email account in Mail preferences is pointed to the iCloud mail server and I am receiving Mail. The account appears in Mail and seems to be functioing normally. If I check the "Mail and Notes" option in the system preferences a second iCloud Mail account appears in Mail with identical contents to the one that is there with this option unchecked. I'd rather not have this duplicate set of mailboxes in Mail so I'm leaving the option unchecked (is this OK?). I added my AOL address as a second email address to my Apple ID so I can use my AIM account with FaceTime and have set FaceTime to receive calls to my AIM address and I have added a contact with my iCloud email address.
On my iPad, I have set up FaceTime to receive calls to my iCloud email address and added a contact with my AIM address. This set up works when calling my Mac from my iPad but does not work the other way. How do I get it to work in both directions?
Thanks for any insights.

In partial answer to my own question, it seems that Mail and Notes option in iCloud system prefs on the Mac should be checked. The duplicate account that is then created in Mail (which points to the original account so it's not really a duplicate, as CS1sound pointed out to me) can be disabled in the Mail program prefs. This eliminates the dual mailbox sets in Mail.
Regarding the FaceTime calling between my Mac and iPad, that seems to have been resolved as well. The FaceTime iCloud account required more characters than the password for the old MobileMe account. This was unknown to me until I tried to view the iCloud account from within FaceTime preferences, when I got a message saying I needed a longer password. When I entered the new password it updated the FaceTime password and also updated my iCloud password (the password associated with my Apple ID). So now everything seems to be working nominally.
For others experiencing problems with FaceTime calling between Mac and iPad I suggest making sure your Apple ID password is at least 8 chars long, has letters (at least one cap) and at least one numeral. (This is the spec my FaceTime error message provided). Then attach an AIM address to your Apple ID as a "rescue" email address. Apple ID will send an email with a verification link to this address which must be clicked and this account will then be associated with your iCloud account (along with your original iCloud email address). Next, set the iPad up to use the iCloud email for Mail and FaceTime and create a FaceTime contact with (which receives calls to) the AIM address, for calling the Mac. Then set the Mac up to use the iCloud email address for Mail and set FaceTime up with the iCloud email, but with a "receives calls at" address pointing to the AIM account, then create a contact with the iCloud address, for calling the iPad.
Posted this because I saw others have had the same problem. Sorry for the verbosity but this is just a blow by blow recounting of what I did. I hope some of the board gods and moderators will vet this for mistakes. I don't want to mislead any fellow pilgrims, but it worked for me .

Hi there T&P63385!
Look no further! I have the answer for you! You can add a new email account to your android device by following these steps: http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31401
Now I do want to let you know that your phone has a "main" gmail account. If this "main" gmail account was the one you deleted it may be best that you reset your phone and activate it to your new gmail address.
The reason I recommend doing this is all of your purchased application information is also tied to your gmail.
Ensure your personal information is backed up (contacts, pictures, etc) and follow these steps to Hard Reset your phone:http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=31308
Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,

I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer?

I created a folder from my camera roll and shared with my icloud acct, can't figure out how to access it from my computer? I log onto icloud and can't find anywhere where "shared" photos are..

You need Mountain Lion (10.8.2 or higher) and iPhoto '11 (9.4 or higher) or Aperture 3.4 to get shared photo streams on Mac.
Another option to transfer them is to either import them to iPhoto using your usb cable, as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, or to us an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your Mac over your wifi. (PhotoSync will also transfer albums, not just photos from the camera roll.)

Is over 400 hours (and counting) normal for iTunes to authenticate an iBook?

Is over 400 hours (and counting) normal for iTunes to authenticate an iBook before uploading to iBooks store? Does the size of the document make a difference?
Any help or advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks

OK, by coincidence this happened to me just yesterday as I was updating a book, I was doing other things and noticed after about an hour it was still showing loading lines.
Its locked up somewhwere and I just closed/ force close if needed.. and started the delivery process again.
This time it took 20 minutes or so which was what I expected.
If it happens a second time, try starting the Publish from within iBA, but first check the xxxxxxx.itmsp number and check if it issues a new xxxxx.itmsp, if it does.. delete the old one to avoid confusion.

ICloud keeps adding same contact over and over. How do I stop it? 4,600 duplicates in less than 24 hours and counting.

I added a contact on my Mac Mini yesterday and it keeps adding the same contact over and over.. up to 4,600 duplicates and counting.. How do I stop it?
Here was the exact sequence.
1. Added a contact in Contacts.app on my Mac running OSX Mavericks 10.9
2. Contact was added to Contacts.app successfully.
3. Noticed only one contact in Contacts.app on Mac.
4. Opened Contacts on my iPhone 5S running 7.0.4 and searched for contact.
5. Noticed duplicates in Contacts on my iPhone 5S.
6. Looked at Contacts.app on Mac, Still only one.
7. Checked iPhone again, noticed several more contacts added and the data spin icon working in the status bar and more being added as I was watching.
8. Opened icloud via web browser, noticed same thing in the Contacts section.
9. Shutdown, Mac (thinking there was a bit of code open ended code)
10. turned off all iCloud Contacts on all iOS devices linked to this icloud account.
11. Less than 24 hours later... 4,600++ duplicate contacts in icloud and counting.
12. As I am writing this I deleted icloud from my mac.. thinking this is the bug's origination point.
what's next??

Step 12 Stopped the duplicate contact.
Deleted iCloud from my Mac. Hope this helps someone.
