Apple ID Isn't support in MobileMe Account Registration
Hi there,
I bought a new iphone 4 earlier this month, I am trying to set up a new 'MobileMe' account to use for the 'Find My Iphone' Application.
This is the situation - i currently have an existing Apple ID without the "me.com" extension - that I use for logging into iTunes, App Store.
I am trying to use this same id and password when setting up a MobileMe Account on my iphone and it returns back a message indicating that the user id isn't supported.
How do I use my ID for MobileMe or will iCloud support my existing id?
Any ideas??
For the free "Find my iPhone" service, your Apple ID has to be in the form of an email address. You can either change it or create a new Apple ID.

My Apple TV will not accept my MobileMe Account information Any ideas?
When I try to login my MobileMe account information on my Apple TV it says there is no such account? Anyone else experienced this problem. This is still the same after the OS upgrade.
Those are the obvious candidates to try unfortunately.
So long as you can access itunes store to peruse rentals/YouTube etc you must be connected to the interent.
Ensure your country location is correct in Settings, though it shouldn't really matter, and if you've not done so reboot the AppleTV by unplugging at the mains.
Resets/restoring AppleTv would be other options to try.

Can't get the email on my husbands iPhone we bought 2 phones I am able to get mail on my I phone and IPad can't get it on it ouch desk top and husbands iPhone
If you migrated your MobileMe account to iCloud, on your phone you should be able go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter the Apple ID associated with your iCloud account. On your desktop computer, you can configure your email client to get your @me.com email by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

How can I connect my MobileME account and my Apple ID?
I used my AppleID to purchase Songs and Apps. Two years ago I opened a MobileME account and in the background Apple created a second AppleID (my mobileMe amail). Yesterday I transfered MovileMe to iCloud and started useing it on my iPad. Because I purchased all my apps on my other ID its now impossible to use all the iCloud fetures.
I too have the same situation an original Itunes ID and then a Mobileme ID. After I used my Mobileme account to transfer everything to icloud; I noticed I had no available purchases on the Itune store to download. I have purchased tons of music so where in the cloud did it go?? Still on Itunes! I went to support pages and it told me that I could have two Apple ID's one for store and another for Icloud just like mobile me work. They would work together, so it told me. I did just that put my old Apple ID into the Store account in Settings. Thought I was done and Happy.
Well then I got a message that my icloud account was not correct, and could not retrieve mail. Yes it was! Even Verifired it again. Still nothing. Went to the store setting logout of the Itunes ID and used the icloudID/"old mobilemeID", now I can get mail again.
So now I guess when I want to purchase music, or download music from my ItunesID; I will have to go to store enter the ItunesID and purchase/download then log out. This is not what the support page said you would have to do. But the two ID's on one device do no work correctly. Seems like something is not working, but will give it a couple of weeks to get all the kinks worked out. -

My old MobileMe account surfaced when I was on a support call. I didn't discover it until the case was closed. How can I replace this obsolete account with my current iCloud account?
Do you mean that you were using the Apple ID which is your ex-MobileMe address? It's still an Apple ID, even though MobileMe itself is dead, and there's nothing to stop you from using it as an ID with Support, or logging in here or in iTunes with it. You should make sure you have a functioning non-Apple email address associated with it.
Did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August last? If so, you can set up an iCloud account using it, or if you have already set up a new and separate iCloud account you can still log in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that it runs alongside your iCloud account.
If you didn't migrate you can still reactivate the address the same way.
Anything where you've logged in with the ex-MobileMe address, such as support for something you registered using it or a server such as iTunes, will need to continue using it. -
My PPC G5 isn't supported by the new MobileMe web upgrade
The new web MobileMe upgrade leaves many loyal .mac users unable to use some awesome new functionality(especially the additions to contacts). I run a PPC G5 that isn't supported by snow leopard. Sooo, I'm thinking I might move all of my cloud computing over to my Google account where my G5 is supported.
Yes, we're being left behind, but it sounds like you found a good solution.

I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc (64bit) but I can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account". I can login on website icloud.com but can not login into iCloud application installed on pc. What's wrong?
I have tried another free apple ID and logged on. That's funny when I can login with free account and can not login with paid mobileme account!!!!!!By the way - the only reason I downloaded iCloud is because Apple deleted the backup option from iTunes. Since iCloud doesn't work, I guess we have no way to protect our iTunes music collection. Absolutely stupid.

I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?
If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you! -

I don't have a MobileMe account and I click to create but I can't, probably because they came up with iCloud.
In your case, MobileMe is no longer an option. For current MobileMe users, they are just several months away from it not being an option for them either. iWeb will still publish using FTP. There are several 3rd party web hosting options catering to iWeb users but most hosts will work just fine. But some design elements are only available to MobileMe users.
iWeb is a beautiful and easy way to publish but there are a few things to consider;
1. There are many other non-Apple options that do this sort of thing much MUCH better. It's been a few years since Apple gave it a significant update.
2. Unless Apple reverses itself, iWeb, while still functional, is basically end-of-life. It never made the transition to the Mac App Store which is now the only retailer for future iLife products. -
I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud no longer show up in my Mail program on my iMac. How do I return to one account and see my iCloud folders on my mac?
I went to Notes. Showed all notes. Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud. I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed. It did. I deleted the other two notes. I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts. The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account. The warning comes up: This will delete all IMAP notes on your device. Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad? -
on apple tv you can sign in to mobileme account but it wont allow me to, it says mobileme account could not be found. please help??
OK - I am trying to be rude either, just very frustrated.
I hope the OP is not put off and for her benefit I will post this.
If you are looking for galleries and have an otherwise functioning ATV2 read no further.
If you are trying to get your unit to work because:
1) You have selected to send feedback to Apple and then wanted to key in your mobile me address and failed, or
2) Tried to set the iTunes store by using your me address, because they are the same, or
3) You are trying to set up home sharing using your mobile me address
then as part of the set up process you will, having keyed in your .me address and password, have got the message that your mobile me account can not be found.
If you look under the general section, you have the option to set time zone. If this shows Cupertino and you have selected either "automatic time setting" or keyed in another town not on Pacific ST and you are not in Cupertino then date and time have not set.
You can unplug the unit and leave for a few minutes, you can select to reset and restore. You can check that your router allows access to the necessary ports (typically 53, 80, 123, 443, 3689 and UDP 5353).
If your Apple TV on reset and opening the ports, still hangs at "setting date and time," then you are one of a group of people being blocked access for some reason that is not being shared openly - other than my comment above about server issues at Apple's end. This is not malicious but just repeating information posted on this and other fora. I can not confirm or deny, but when every other option has been discounted then only certain solutions remain.
I wish you luck in getting your ATV to work as it should.
PS I don't think cables are an issue here as you obviously are seeing something on the screen to see that you can't log in. -
I am dumping my Android and getting an IPhone to go along with my IPad, primarily because of the ICloud and the ease of synching all my mail, contacts etc. My original Apple ID was my gmail address. I now have the @me.com address when I put IOS 5 on my iPad. I want to dump gmail and just have one email address...the @me.com address. When I set up iCloud, I used the @me.com address. When I try to change my Apple ID to the @me.com address from the gmail address, I get this message "You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID". Any ideas?
I also have the same problem. Is there a solution?
