After migrating to iCloud, iChat username has changed

I downloaded and installed iOS5 to all my portable devices last week. Now, everytime I log in to iChat on any of my Macs, the username is now my wife's name. I can't figure out where it got that, nor how to change it back. I'd really like it to show MY name, so if anyone is looking for me, they can find ME; and if I am chatting with someone online, they know it's ME. Where is it getting the different name, and how do I change it back? I cannot find any way to change the displayed name in iChat.
I've also noted that when checking the username in Settings/iCloud -- it's consistently my wife's name. I can change it back to my name, but it doesn't stick. Why??

This is now the rejection note that I recive when attmepting to send to the email address

It was working fine and now its not !!!!!

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
3. Sync the BB.
3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

After migrating to iCloud the alias email address not receiving email.

Hope someone can help
After migrating to iCloud the alias email address my wife has been using now no longer accepts email. The alias can send but extremly slow. However if you reply to the email or attempt to send and email to the alias address it comes up saying " The recipient "****@me.com" was rejected by the server because the user is unknown.
I have recently added another alias and it works fine. I have even deleted and recreated the orignal alias but no success...
Can anyone help.....? A happy Wife means Happy Life....
Regards
Troy

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries?

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

Contact information missing on iPad after migration to iCloud

I used mobile me on my iPad and iMac without any issues. I migrated to iCloud and have been struggling with it for days.
iCloud has all my contacts and info, but iPad displays only the list of names with no information on phone numbers or addresses. I know the information is there because other apps on the iPad, like my navigator, have no problem accessing the information.
I tried the suggested remedy of turning off iCloud contacts and then turning it back on several times with no change.
Mysterious and frustrating. I'm hoping I've missed something obvious. Has anyone had a similar problem that they fixed?

Ok, here is my theroy. In looking at the settings on the iPhone & iPad under mail/account/advance/outgoing mail server/primary server/
The Server is on (cannot turn it off)
but under Authentication it is set for Apple Token. Since you cannot turn off the server and change it to id/password I came up with this temp solution until apple comes up with a fix:
I did the following:
under mail
Add Account: (other)
Mail
Add Mail Account
Name (Your Name)
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.mail.me.com
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
Outgiong Mail Server
SMTP smtp.mail.me.com
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
After your done filling out the information hit the next button & it will start to verify. It my verify sucessfuly or come back & say it was unable to verify. if the latter, then just hit continue.
Hit the save button & you now have access to your mail.
It worked for me.
Home it works for you

Why does iCal ask me to login to MobileMe after migration to iCloud?

Ever since the migration to iCloud, my iCal account asks me to login to MobileMe. I go to MobileMe on the web and obviously it says that I successfully migrated to iCloud. Sadly my calendar doesn't seem to think so. Has anyone expiriences this problem? More importantly, has anyone solved it?

I've been having this happen as well, ever since the last update. When you download podcasts everyday, it is really annoying. Hope we can get an answer.

Sign out of MobileMe after migration to iCloud?

AddressBook groups lost after migration to iCloud

Hey everyone, just to share the solution with you.
If bought my wife an iPad2 2 weeks ago and in order to allow for a smooth transition I upgraded her MacBook a week earlier to Mac OS X Lion and set up her iCloud account, i.e. I migrated her Mobile Me account to iCloud.
However, during the migration (Mac MobileMe > iCloud) her AddressBook lost all Groups (I checked this with the corresponding date of out Time Capsule backup). Any attempt to restore the backup and sync the contacts again does not restore the groups. After some reading on the Apple Support Communities and on other sides here's the solution.
Note: I assume you use Time Capsule and your backup is properly working.
1. In case you've changed/added addresses create a back-up of all contacts:
    - On the Mac user AddressBook make sure you have "All Contacts" selected, then click on one contact ans select all by CMD-A
    - export all contacts by FILE > EXPORT ... > EXPORT vCard ... and save the file on your Mac (don't worry about duplication - we merge the contacts later)
2. Now switch of iCloud sync for Contacts on all devices
    - Mac: Open System Preferences > iCloud > untag Contacts and delete data on your Mac
    - iOS 5 devices: System Preferences (Settings) > iCloud > Contacts OFF and delete data on your iOS 5 device
    - Rem: you have to do this on all devices you sync with your iCloud account
3. Open your account on www.icloud.com and delete all contacts
NOW all should be clean!
4. Do a full restore of the AddressBook data from your Time Capsule backup. In order to to this you need to open the Library folder of your account on the Mac. Since the advent of Mac OS X Lion this folder is hidden. However you can easily open it by CMD-Shift-G and type in "~/Library/". Then go to the folder "Application Support" and leave the "AddressBook" folder selected (blue background).
5. Open Time Capsule and go back to the date when the AddressBook still contained all groups. Then restore the entire folder "AddressBook". Time Capsule will ask you if the existing folder should be "Replace"d. Confirm "Replace" and your AddressBook is (Tip: If you do not know the date, Leave AddressBook' group view active and open TimeCapsule and while moving back in time you'll see the groups re-appear at the appropriate date).
6. Now import the earlier vCard backup into Address Book (in case you've added, changed contacts)
NOW your Mac AddressBook should be up to date, including Groups.
7. Connect one of your iOS5 devices via USB cable to your Mac and open iTunes. Click on the name of your device under DEVICES.
8. Click on "Info" on the top row menu in iTunes. Tag the option "Sync Address Book Contacts" and press the button "Sync".
9. After the Sync eject the iOS 5 device from your Mac
Now your iOS 5 device is updated with all contacts and groups. (check if you want)
10. on your iOS 5 device open SETTINGS > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDAR and choose "iCloud". Switch Contacts ON.
11. Check your iCloud account on www.icloud.com if all contacts and groups are properly restored.
Now your iCloud is updated and we can execute the final step.
12. On your Mac: Open System Preferences > iCloud and switch Contacts ON and/or tag Contacts.
13. In your Mac AddressBook> Check (this may take some minutes) if all contacts and groups are properly sync'ed.
DONE!

Problems with iTunes account after migrating to iCloud

I've been using my iTunes account with a specific credit card for many years without any problem. After I migrated from MobileMe to iCloud aprox. 1 month ago every time I try to pay for an app, song or iBook I get an error message telling me that the postal code of my account doesn't match the one inth bank records. I've checked and the postal code is OK (is the same I've been using for years!). What could be the problem?

All my iCal events are duplicated after migrating to iCloud

I upgraded my Mac to 10.7.2 at first and migrate my iCal to iCloud.
And then I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5.
After that I found all my iCal events are duplicated.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks~~
I don't have MobileMe.

When you sign back in to iCloud on the Mac the iCloud calendars should be there if they are also on the web-page iCloud calendar. Did you
Restarting the iCloud merges On My Mac with iCloud calendars (deleting On My Mac calendars in the process). This is why it is so vital to have .ics backups.
I think you must be missing a step somewhere. Here's what to do:
- Create .ics backups on iCal using Export
- Open iCal>Preferences>Accounts>iCloud and delete the iCloud account
- Open System Preferences>iCloud uncheck Calendars and Sign Out
- Import into iCal your .ics calendars, they will be listed as On My Mac on the iCal Calendars list
- Sign back into iCloud, check Calendars, Agree to Merge despite the warning that calendars will be removed from the Mac
- Check the web based iCloud calendar and see if the calendars are there.
- Check iCal under Calendars and be sure that the iCloud calendars are checked in the list (or they will not display).
If this doesn't work you should make an appointment with an Apple Genius.

After installing apple updates my movie has changed

OMG!
i feel like crying!
the short film i made on imovie 3 seems to have changed in audio content only after installing a couple of updates from apple. these were the new security update, quicktime 7 and itunes.
can anyone at all please help me understand why.... it's really bloody awful!
thanks
patersonic

Welcome to discussions!
The problem probably happened because you updated your QuickTime. Unfortunately, only an archive and install might help-but i can't promise your movie will ever be perfect again.
Next time, do not install any new updates until your project is done.
At this point you might want to consider updating your imovie to imovie 6 (if the system requirements are met) QuickTime 7 works best with Tiger or Leopard and imovie 5,6, and 7.
Sorry I didn't have better news. Maybe someone else will pop in here with better news.

HOW DO I UPDATE MY ICloud - ID (email has changed)

i have changed my iTunes email and password. I need to update my iCloud info but old email is there and greyed out - can't change it. How do I update my ITunes ID for my Cloud account. This Cloud account is shared by six devices.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Repeat this for all of your devices. Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud on all of your devices and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Has anyone got Push mail to work after migration t...

Has anybody sucessfully got Push mail working after migration from BT Yahoo mail to the new BT Mail server?
I'm still on the old BT Yahoo mail server and Push mail works fine on my iPhone
But people have told me that once migrated to the new BT Mail server, Push mail isn't available
BT tell me that it is, but there's a couple postings on the web saying Push mail won't work
So, my question is, is there somebody out there who who has been migrated to the new BT Mail server and who can confirm they can still get their @btinternet.com address post-migration to work as Push mail on their iPhone or ipad devices?

There is no push mail on BTMail. Once you have been migrated to BTMail you will need to have your devices fetch emails. There is apparently no plans to change this.

After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6. 10.6.7 now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard.

After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6.7. and now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard. Update Software says I need to do update to 10.6.7 which I can't do because administrator privileges are gone. I didn't back-up with Time Machine ,BAD, but I have all files backed-up on another hard drive. Should I just reformat and start over? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

PROBLEM SOLVED! For me at least!
Apple Support gave me the clue - I had run Migration Assistant, and it had obligingly replaced a system file (/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager) with the equivalent from my old system.
I reinstalled 10.6.7 using the DVD supplied and all is well.
The moral is - don't use Migration Assistant.
Along the way Apple Support provided me with a link to download Combo update 10.6.7: this could not be installed on my iMac.
Hope this helps.
