Advice for upgrading to iCloud from MobileMe

I am about to ugrade my 20" Intel iMac (2 GB RAM). I will also enable iCloud on our iPhone 4S (2 devices in the house) to iCloud and I am seeking advice. BTW, we are running iOS 5.1.1 on both iPhones.
First off, I have backed-up and cleaned up my iDisk, so that's done. I have also deleted my MobileMe Photo Albums and Movies (all are backed-up) from my MobileMe Gallery.
Next, I have updated my iWeb site and published it to a folder on my hard drive. I may/may not have a third party host it ... that is a future decision, but for now, it is "preserved".
Now my question - What advice do you have for me before I embark upon this "upgrade". Am I missing anything? Any tips, tricks or pointers you have to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My first observation is that your profile states that you are using OSX 10.6.8, iCloud is only included with OSX10.7.2 or better. Perhaps you should consider updating your operating system before moving to iCloud.
Secondly, although you would have had to do them eventually, migrating to iCloud will not stop you using your iDisk, gallery or iWeb hosting space. You can continue to use the services until June 30, 2012.
Finally before making the migration to iCloud from MobileMe, you may wish to back up your MobileMe mail, your contacts and your calendars.

I have an iPhone 3G, how do I upgrade to iCloud from Mobile Me?

I have an Iphone 3G, how do I upgrade to iCloud from Mobile Me? I want to switch over before the deadline so that I can maintain my email address. I also have a Mac Book Pro, but don't have the correct operating system. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You cannot use iCloud with a iPhone 3G.

Updated to iCloud from MobileMe

I just updated to iCloud from MobileMe. Now I get duplicate emails on my iPhone. Has anyone else encountered this? Any solutions?

Thank you Roger.
You're right she, somehow, was signed into iCloud under my Apple ID. The only box checked however was mail hence why my emails were showing up on her log in.
The problem with iCal remains.
I am still able to see all of her calender entries on all my devices.
Any further thoughts?

My all contacts are available after switching to iCloud from Mobileme. Please help to restore all my contacts.

I switched from Mobileme to iCloud last night.
My iphone show all contacts properly.
But, I can't see any of contacts from my Mac and pc.
My all contacts are gone.
Please helpe to restore all my contacts.
I sync my ipone and mac.
Thanks,
dolphin

Your signature says you have 10.6.2: is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 is required for syncing with iCloud - you cannot sync your contacts on 10.6.2. All you can do is go to http://icloud.com , select Contacts, click the top contact and then the bottom one while holding the shift key to select them all; click on the cogwheel at bottom left and choose 'Exort vCard'.
Then go to Address Book on your Mac, from the File menu choose 'Import' and select your vCard. This will restore the contacts to your Mac but they will not sync with iCloud.

HT201260 Build 9L31a what do I do to move to icloud from mobileme

Hi, I am trying to move from mobileme to icloud. I do not know if I can with my current MAC OS X version. I have 10.5.8 with Build 9L31a.
Does anyone know?
Thanks.

You can't get full iCloud support, but you can view it on the Web, & you can setup Mail to work.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

Best Practices for Upgrade UCS firmware from 2.0 to 2.2?

Hi
I have Cisco UCS system ( 2 FI, 4 Chassis with 32 Server ) running 2.0 firmware. Now I want upgrade to 2.2. When I check document "Upgrading Cisco UCS from Release 2.0 to Release 2.2", I see have 2 solution:
- 1. Upgrading from Release 2.0 with Auto Install -> Step simple but all server reboot at same time.
- 2. Manually Upgrading from Release 2.0. -> Step more complex but can upgrade server one by one.
My question:
- Can I "Upgrade the infrastructure firmware with Auto Intall but upgrade Server with Manual"?
- What is best for my case?
Thanks

Hi Phamcongtuan,
In UCS you can create host firmware policy that can be used to upgrade the firmware of your blades. Once you upgrade the infrastructure firmware, you can apply the host firmware policy to the service profiles of your blades. If you are using service profiles templates you will need to unbind the service profiles and apply the policy to the individual servers.
Host Firmware Package

After transition to iCloud from MobileMe, does MM still work on Snow Leopard Macs?

I have an older MacBook Pro that can't be ugraded to Lion. If I transition to iCloud from my MobileMe account, will MobileMe still sync on my Snow Leopard MacBook Pro at the same time my Lion MacPro and iOS5 iPhone sync to iCloud?

No.
You cannot have both, only one - MM or iCloud. If you go the iCloud route, Snow is out .

Migrating to iCloud from MobileMe

After I move from MobileMe to iCloud will I still be able to access and edit my calander from the iCloud website? Will I be able to to manage my email from the website?

Yes, on both accounts.

Advice for upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion

I have an Intel 20" iMac running OS X 10.6.8 with 2 GB of RAM and an external Firewire HD for Time Machine back-ups.
For starters, upgrade an operating system always make me VERY nervous, especially considering some of the various issues users have experienced, and reported on this forum. My question is this - What advice to you all have for successfully performing this upgrade?
As I understand it, I should (per an Apple Genius):
1. Perform a FULL back-up via Time Machine (including Applications, System, in addition to files (e.g. - music, pics, docs, etc.).
2. Download OS X Lion via the App Store and voila ... done. (Obviously, the nearly 4 GB download and subsequent install will take some time)
Am I missing anything here? Should I eject the Time Machine drive BEFORE starting the upgrade? Anything else I haven't mentioned?
Thanks in advance.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

Hi,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Forums!
There is currently only one BEST solution for your situation available for a Mac G5 2.0 AGP. It is the The RADEON X800 XT Mac Edition with ADC and DVI Dual Link connectors. As seen here:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435317/
This gives you a Dual Link DVI connector for the 30" ACD.
The remaining ADC port can be converted to DVI output for your 20" LCD with this:
Belkin F2E9142 Apple Monitor Adapter (ADC to DVI)

Advice on upgrading ASA 5510 from version 8.4(4)1

Hello all,
Due to an issue we need to upgrade our ASA. Cisco Support team recommended upgrading to version 8.4.7, but, as we'll upgrade, we'd like to upgrade to version 9.
We still use Cisco VPN Client for Remote Access VPNs so I'd like your advice on which version to install on ASA.
Would you recommend version 9.0.3? 9.1.X?
Thanks in advance,
Igor

We have a pretty huge ASA and ASASM complex, and we are just about finished upgrading from an assortment of 8.4.x, 8.5.x, and 8.6.x installs to 9.1.3 on everything. There is one gotcha on some systems in that there is a file system change or some sort of bug that is fixed in 8.4.5 I think. So you _may_ have to first upgrade to a newer version (8.4.7 would work) before going to 9.1.3.
Our Cisco team has recommended going to version 9.x, and this is supported by recent tickets I've had on our stuff still running on 8.x, as the TAC engineer often says we need to upgrade to version 9.
Four our setup, we had some fatal bugs in 8.4.6 and 8.4.7 that kept us running 8.4.5 for a very long time on some equipment.
Anyway, I would recommend going to 9.1.3, which is one removed from the recently recleased 9.1.4. Our AnyConnect VPN complex has been on 9.1.3 for a few months now with no issues. Be sure to read the release notes thoroughly as 9.x changes some command contexts, new features, etc.

Patch for upgrading 10g AS from 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.1

Hi All,
I am in process of doing 10g AS integration with 11.5.10.2.
here as per documentation i have seen that this 10g AS has to upgrade
My 10g AS version is 10.1.2.0.2
The below msg is as per Oracle Documentation
If you are running Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.0) or Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.1) Standard Edition One, then apply the Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.1 patch before applying Oracle Application Server Portal Upgrade.
I have searched a lot in metalink for patch but no luck
So please let me know the right patch to upgrade my 10g AS from 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.1
Also any supporting document for this upgrade
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Bhanu Chander.

I have downloaded patch p5983622_10123_LINUX.zip
and first tried to upgrade infrastructure home
but while upgrading it says
oracle universal installer has detected that your database is version 10.1.0.4.2 before you can continue you must apply a required database patch set.
But in documentation i have seen
Supported Database Releases
The portal schema may be residing in an OracleAS Metadata Repository, or in a customer database. The database in which the portal schema resides must be one of the following supported releases:
Oracle Database 10g (10.1.0.4.2) or later
Please let me know what should i do now
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Bhanu Chander.yes, because the Infrastructure Database needs to be upgraded. And it is listed in the documentation of the same patch set.
In the Readme file for the patch set 3 (5983622 or p5983622_10123_LINUX) as you mentioned, please see Section 5. Before you begin applying this patch set
It reads the following:
"5.6 Applying the Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.5) Patch Set
The Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.5) patch set must be applied to all database instances (for both the Identity Management and Metadata Repository installation type and Metadata Repository only installation type) before applying OracleAS 10g Release 2 Patch Set 3. If OracleAS 10g Patch Set 2 (10.1.2.2.0) has been applied previously, then you do not have to apply the database patch."
hope that explains what you need to do. i.e, your infra DB version is 10.1.0.4.2 and needs to be upgraded to 10.1.0.5.

I need expert advice for upgrading exchange server SP1.

Regards, Md Ehteshamuddin Khan All the opinions expressed here is mine. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

Hi Khan
The first servers to be updated in a site are the Mailbox servers even if they are member of DAG.Ensure the DAG node you are updating is in maintainence mode. The Client Access servers are updated second. If you have multi-role servers installed then
both roles are updated at the same time anyway, and you should simply start with the internet-facing servers.
First, you will need to remove any UM language packs that you have installed in previous version. From an elevated cmd prompt navigate to the folder where you have extracted the Exchange 2013 SP1 files and run setup with the /RemoveUMLanguagePack switch. For
example, to remove the “en-us” language pack.

Advice for using the iCloud Photo Library

iCloud Photo Library!
I've been waiting for this feature to arrive since June when it was rolled out during the WWDC.
Now that's here can anyone share some advice on the best possible way to go about using it?
I have 9,239 pictures in 1,196 events in my iPhoto Library. (Tons & Tons of time on editing, geo-tagging, naming faces, Smart Folders, etc.)
I would like to push them up to iCloud Photo Library. I also have 95 home videos (stored in iTunes) that I would like to push up their as well.
However it doesn't appear that I can do that on either of my Macs until 2015'.
I see where I can now do that with iOS 8.1 with an iOS device.
What advice can anyone give me as far what they think I should do?
Should I try to wipe out all data off one of my iOS devices, then load pictures on it, turn on iCloud Photo Library within settings, let it upload, then turn it back off so I can take the videos a few at a time (turning the feature on and then back off) until I get everything uploaded?
Should I wait until the Mac version is available next year?
Or is there any other way??

If you're running Yosemite, wait for the Photos app to be introduced next year. While specifics haven't been announced, I believe it sill provide a way to migrate your iPhoto library to iCloud Photo Library.

I plugged my iphone into my desktop today because i wanted to download photos, followed prompts for upgrades and icloud. next thing my contacts, photos and messages are gone, instead i have my sons photos contacts, messages! interesting but want my stuff

tried to download photos to my pc and followed prompts, upgrade, photos are gone, instead have my son's old picks

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.
