Any PRO in moving to iCloud from MobileMe before 30 June 2012?

CON:
- need for Lion on old mac machines (besides the money, I'd rather wait for next its debugged release)
- ios5 and Lion slowing down existing (older) machines, including old iphones
- some of my Apps may not yet work with ios5, as well as some software with Lion)
- Itunes match not yet operational
- loose access to Gallery and iDisk (is it so?)
- not yet syncing documents
PRO:
- iMessaging
- Find myfriends

Your calendar will not sync with iCloud using Snow Leopard, though you may be able to get it working using an unsupported hack.
A good third-party solution is BusyCal, which is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. It can also sync over a local network, so if everyone is on that you can manage without involving the internet at all. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99 (see note below)*
You will need to set your Mail application up manually to access iCloud email.
The situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard is listed in detail here:
iCloud and Snow Leopard
*BusyCal say: ''Business Purchases — Businesses should purchase multiple Single User Licenses, not Family Packs. When purchasing multiple Single User Licenses from the BusyMac Store, a 20% discount is automatically applied on purchases of five or more units, and you will receive a single serial number that may be used on each licensed computer.'

Saving Gallery and iWeb from MobileMe before June 30

How do I save my iWeb and Gallery from Mobile Me before June 30 ???

iWeb: you don't need to save anything from the iDisk - iWeb does not open html files. Your iWeb sites are held in (user)/Library/Application Support/iWeb in a file called Domain. So even after MobileMe terminates you will still be able to open iWeb and see your sites, you just won't be able to publish them to MobileMe. You can publish them to any other webspace - please see this page:
http://rfwilmut.net/migrate2
Gallery: if your albums arre synced with iPhoto or Aperture then the pictures are on your Mac anyway. If not, and you don't have local copies (which is always a risky procedure) you will have to download each picture separately. Alternatively there is an online photo gallery service called ZangZing which provides an easy import facility from various other services including MobileMe's Gallery. It's free until June 2012 after which the first 2GB is free with escalating price levels starting at $5 per month or $50 a year.

Since moving to iCloud, my mobileme email works ONLY on my iPhone, but not on my PC with Outlook. I get an error message indicating the authentication is not accepted. any suggestions?

To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.

Hi, I'm moving my site from MobileMe to Filezilla and there is apparently a coding error on iWeb that means when I try to get onto my site there's no access online and it says there are too many redirects. Anyone have any idea what this might be?

Well, firstly Filezilla is not a hosting company but an ftp client that helps you upload your site to your new server. You need to purchase a new hosting account first though.
If you have iWeb 09 then you can publish directly to your new host and you select the publish to ftp option and not MobileMe - MobileMe won't be here after tomorrow.
You can also publish to a local folder if want to and use Filezilla to upload your site to your server.
You don't need re-directs as MobileMe won't be here so you need to cancel and delete your domain name from your MobileMe account and then cancel any domain name forwarding that you have at your domain name registrar - that is what the redirects are about.
Firstly ensure that you have your new hostings account - Filezilla is not a host, rather an ftp client that you use to upload your site.

Moving to ICloud from unused MobileMe

Need help moving to IClound from MobileMe. Have not been able to create a MobileMe account on my 2008 MacBook operating with MAC OSX 012.6.8. My system preference window shows MobileMe.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iCloud only comes with OSX 10.7.2 or later, you need to upgrade your OS. Go to the Mac App Store and try downloading OSX Mavericks. The store will only let you download it if your computer meets the required specifications.
If you are told your Mac is not compatible with Mavericks, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

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.

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.

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 .

HT1296 I just bought a new MacBook Pro and moved data over from my old MacBook Pro. Everything seemed fine at first but Outlook 2011 for Mac will not run. It just flashes the Outlook logo briefly and then closes. Help!

Everything seemed to work fine after moving everything over from my old MacBook Pro at first but I cannot run Outlook 2011 for Mac. The logo displays briefly and then the app closes. It never really even gets anything loaded other than the little logo.

Try removing and reinstalling Outlook
Next try posting in a more appropriate forum. this is the iPod touch forum

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

Missing Events from before Jun 2012

Hi all,
I need to make my annual report on last years work schedule for the IRS (woohoo me). But, my work schedule is not showing past Jun of last year. I've checked my MacBook Pro, my iPhone, and my iPad. Past Jun of last year it's all gone. Everything.
I'm thinking that's about the time I swtched from my .Me acct to iCloud. But, I don't know for sure.
Anybody have any recommendations at all?

Ok, first of all ensure Security log at new DC contain audit events.
Then check ACS forwarder on that DC. The service that runs on ACS forwarders is included in the Operations Manager
agent. By default, this service is installed but not enabled when the Operations Manager agent is installed. You can enable this service for multiple agent computers at the same time using the Enable
Audit Collection task. After you enable this service, all security events are sent to the ACS collector in
addition to the local Security log.
Check OpsMgr event log for any errors regarding communication with SCOM server.
Let me know how it goes

Moving website hosting from MobileMe to Godaddy... how to?

Greetings!
I recently created a website using iWeb and hosted it on MobileMe using my Godaddy domain.
I am interested in moving the hosting abilities to the new hosting I purchased on GoDaddy. So far, I have changed most of the settings, I will try and list them all below. The issue I am having is that I publish the entire site (I know it takes some time to reflect) but when I visit the site, I expect to see the stock GoDaddy page without my site for the time being, but what I see is a link to MobileMe.
I changed:
The CNAME from www.me.com or whatever it was to the GoDaddy specs.
The CNAME alias from www.me.com to the @ sign like it requests. Under DNS manager
I just removed the forwarding to www.me.com or mobileme (cant remember -- in any event I removed it) so maybe that will fix it.
Should I have the nameservers set to a hosting account with these domains (which I assume links to my godaddy hosting and domain I purchased) or should I use the specific nameservers that godaddy specified based on the date I purchased the domain -- NS01.DOMAINCONTROL.COM and NS02.DOMAINCONTROL.COM?
Any other thoughts on changes I need to make on the GoDaddy side to complete the transition? Thank you for the feedback!

Its bizarre when I upload the entire site using the option to Publish the Entire Site in iWeb 09, it lets me visit the site and it shows up. But when I go to firefox to try and get to it, it redirects me to MobileMe.
I upload it by logging all of the information on iWeb. Server address, user name (godaddy), password, etc... all of it correct, and the click FILE>Publish Entire Site.
I see now that the name servers option has been clicked on the one indicating a specific nameserver hosted by GoDaddy, which is the option I believe you were having me select. It has been that way overnight, so it never changed.
I am at a loss here why it would show up once, and then redirect me back to mobileme. I removed the forwarding to web.me.com and deleted the domain from my mobileme account too!

I have a client that did not migrate to iCloud from MobileMe when the time was right.

I got control of her AppleID and got that working again. I then setup iCloud on her MBP (running 10.7.4). In Outlook, I updated her Mac mail settings to the new iCloud IMAP settings. It returned a "updating IMAP cache" and decremented her mailfolder. After it finished, I expected it to reconnect and re-download her old mail. It did not. The mail is missing. The mail folders present as a brand new account with zero history. Her iPhone is not updated yet, so she can still browse a partial record of what was in that account.
Does anyone have words of wisdom on how to recover from this or how best to get the mail to appear on iCloud?
Thanks.

As she did not migrate before 1 August the account has been deleted together with all the data in it, including emails and anything which was in the iDisk: this data is not recoverable by any means.
You say the iPhone has a cached copy of some of the emails. Don't update the iPhone to connect to the iCloud account or you will wipe them. You need to move them from being under MobileMe to being held on the phone. Unfortunately as I don't have an iPhone I can't advise on the specific process, but doubtless someone will chip in on this: you could also ask in the iPhone forum.
Once you've got them held locally you can connect the phone to iCloud, and then move them back to being on iCloud.
