Accessing iCloud email and cal on PPC iMac

Hi guys,
I know there are thousands of posts on the changeover at the moment, but I can't find any which seem to answer my problem.
I have an iphone 3GS, which I will be moving to OS5 later
I have an ipad 2, which I'll be moving to OS5 later
I have an iMac G5 PPC running Leopard - so I can't upgrade to Lion
I have a mobileme account, which I'll be moving across to iCloud... in the process losing my gallery :-(
Now... I understand to change over to iCloud I need to do this on an OS5 or Lion platform - so will do this on my iPad. But... presumably after this I can still access my email and calendars on my iMac, despite not running Leopard? What is the process for anyone on Leopard in getting access to their emails and calendar again?
The emails Apple have sent so far have given the impression that anyone with an old computer or platform is going to be left behind if they're not fully up-to-date. So would be good to hear that this is not the case. All I want to do is to be able to get my email and calendar syncing across all devices again, I don't care about photostreaming and all that jazz.
I can't find any support links which seem to answer this. Sorry if I've missed this!!
Cheers,
Sam

Well apparently you can get Mail to link up - see here
but iCal and Address Book will not sync on anything less than Lion :-(
To think they'd consider making these fundamental features backwards compatible...
But no...

  • I no longer have access to my icloud email and don't know the answers to my security questions. Does anyone know how to work around this to reset my icloud ID without losing my info? I haven't backed up in a year because of this.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

    If you didn't enable find my iphone in icloud settings on your phone, then you can't do a lost mode or lock your phone.
    I would assume you had a passcode on your phone to lock it.  If you didn't then start changing your passwords.
    Report the lost to your phone carrier - local authorities.

  • How do I access iCloud email from a browser on a Mac?

    I am trying to access iCloud email from a borrowed Mac.  I don't want to set up my iCloud account on this Mac since it's not mine.  My understanding is you can access iCloud via a browser, but when I sign into iCloud I am prompted to set up iCloud on the device, which is exactly what I do not want to do.  This was using "mail.icloud.com" which was my best guess at a URL.  I know iCloud email cannot be accessed via a browser on iPads, etc., but it should be accessible on Macs via browser from what I have read.
    Anyone know how to do this?  Am I using the wrong URL?

    Well, the good news is I have the URL correct.
    But regardless of whether I use http://icloud.com or http://mail.icloud.com, I still get prompted with a dialog box which says the following:
    "Setup iCloud on a device to use iCloud.com"
    If I click "Close" I end up back up at the sign in screen and have to enter my username/password again.
    If I click "Learn More", my only other choice, I end up on some sort of help page that tells me how to set up iCloud on this device.  Which is precisely what I don't want to do.  I just want to access a webmail page like, for example, gmail.
    I don't see any "Mail" icon there.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • HT4864 Can you use Windows Live Mail to send/recieve iCloud email and share contacts or can I just use iCloud email on my PC without use Live Mail?

    Can you use Windows Live Mail to send/recieve iCloud email and share contacts or can I just use iCloud email on my PC without use Live Mail? I want to use one email adress, one contact list and one calendar. I want to be able to have access to all this on my iphone and pc.

    You can only use Mail, contacts and calendars will not work, for that you need Outlook.

  • IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

    I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
    Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help suiting the old apple I'd because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions

    I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

    You cannot do that.  The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address.  The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well).  You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
    You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
    I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

    <Email Edited by Host>

    Hello there Dhary9,
    It sounds like you are unable to reset your password and are unable to answer the security questions. You can attempt resetting the security questions with the following info:
    Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

    dear sir i buy iphone4s with my friend but he forget icloud email and icloud password so how can i reset it phone now it 1step situation

    Without the Apple ID and password the phone was originally activated with, you will not be able to activate the phone. No one here can help you, and neither can Apple. So, unless you or your friend can remember that ID, you will never be able to activate the phone.
