Cannot move my wifes Apple ID from MobileMe to iCloud

Hi
Can anyone please help me?
I have moved my AppleID to iCloud successfully, but my wifes email address and AppleID was a secondary address on my family MobileMe account. When I try and sign in to the iCloud as her, a pop up box says "To sign in, move this MobileMe account to iCloud"
When I click "Get Started", it take me to the MobileMe sign on screen. When I try to sign on with her ID, it says in another pop up box "Yoyr MobileMe subscription has ended and can't be renewed. This Apple ID can still be used for other services."
What have I done wrong? All I want to do is register my wifes Apple ID on iCloud so she can use it with her iPhone and iPad, continue to get email and keep our calendars synced together.
Many thanks for help and advice on this one. I'm tearing my hair out!!!

I am concerned about the same thing.
"Secondary" email acct (paid) is the wife's.
I can apparently move MMe to iCloud from either device, but I don't know if I should try again from the new iPad, or from the SnowLeopard machine to keep the additional emails flowing.

TS4002 After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Your address book should have migrated along with your move. If it hasn't go to groups, in "on my mac" group select all the contacts that appear on the right-hand side and drag them to your "iCloud" group.
Once you have done this you can then delete the contacts from your "on my mac" group.

I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices. If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

Can I get rid of one ID? How do I do that?

one on my MacBook Pro
That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.

Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

Move second email address from MobileMe to iCloud

when I set up iCloud one of two email addresses were moved over ... the other email mac.com email address is still using MobileMe ... is there an article somewhere explaining how to move the second address from MobileMe to iCloud ???

Migrate the second MobileMe account at http://me.com/move , just as you did the first.
Then go to System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enter it as an additional account there.

How do I receive email on Apple Mail. I have switched from MobileMe to iCloud.

After I delete emails, they return (recent move from MobileMe to iCloud)

I recently moved from mobileme to icloud without difficulity. However, I've noticed after I read and delete emails, they return. I've check preferences and have verified the "store deleted messages on the server box" is unchecked as it should be.
Is anyone else having this problem/do you know how to fix it?

Well, unfortunately I don't have a single solution.
However, my apple mail account seems to have "fixed itself". I had already deleted the icloud account in apple mail preferences and set it up again (twice), but that was not the fix because it continued to save all deleted emails in the inbox.
Almost two days later I woke up one morning and started deleting emails thinking it wasn't going to work and to my supprise it did.
All I can say is if this is the only problems us three are have for the moment we've gotten off pretty easy. Just give it a little while longer and hopefully it will fix itself.
I appologize for not being much more help.

Months ago I switched from "MobileMe" to "iCloud." I continue to get messages saying "Move to iCloud." Does anyone know why this happens? Does anyone know how to stop this?

Months ago I switched from "MobileMe" to "iCloud." I continue to get messages telling me to switch to iCloud. Why? How do I fix this?

Get messages where? Have you signed out in System Preferences>MobileMe? - if you haven't, you should first go to the iDisk pane and stop iDisk sycing if it's running, then go to the Sync pane and stop any syncing, then go to Account and sign out.
if you still get problems, go to (user)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMac and com.apple.idisk, then reboot.

Why can't I move from Mobileme to iCloud after it asks if all my devices are ready and I say yes?

Upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud - do I need to change from Mac OS X 10.6.8?

Do I need to change from mac os x 10.6.8 to upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud?
Please advise
Is OS X Lion different? latest version?
Thanks in anticipation

Basically, yes.
You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:

To get the full functions of iCloud you need Lion 10.7.2

Switching from MobileMe to iCloud, but I can't upgrade to Lion

My iMac is too old to upgrade to Lion, so when I switch from MobileMe to iCloud, I understand that I will no longer be able to use my desktop mail app to retrieve mail, and my calendars and contacts will no longer be in sync with my iPad and iPhone. So when I switch over to iCoud, is there any work-around for this so that I can continue to use the desktop mail app on my iMac or otherwise get mail on my desktop, and keep my mail, calendars and contacts synced between my iMac, iPad and iPhone?

Unfortunately you simply need Lion or Mountain Lion to access these features on your desktop "mac applications".
However! Mail, contacts, calender & reminders, notes, find my iPhone and iWork documents synced with iCloud from an iOS device can currently (and presumably in the future too) be accesed at icloud.com from any browser with scripting enabled.
I do not have an @me or mobile me account myself. So you'll have to login and see if its already set up for you automatically, I assume there is no reason why it wouldn't be, as the mail server is already with Apple.
Other iOS devices that are associated with your Apple ID by activating "Automatic Downloads" which in laymens terms is Apples' iTunes in the Cloud service can have up to 10 devices (max of 5 computers) that will automatically synce iTunes Purchases including Music, Apps and iBooks to all those devices straight from an internet connection without the need for an iTunes sync. But iTunes in the Cloud will not automatically push TV Shows, Movies or Music Videos.
iCloud will also sync everything mentioned before about icloud.com, including Bookmarks and Photo Stream if selected, to any iOS devices setup with iCloud.
I hope that makes sense, for more information on how to setup a device with iCloud read this
Any more questions dont hesitate to ask :]

I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?

I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?
My iphone and my ipad are compatible but when I try to go to icloud on my phone it says to do it on my computer.
I would like to have my calendar, contacts, etc.. all sync like they do now. Is there a way to upgrade before June 30th? If not, will the gap be an issue or will I just be able to buy mountain lion and sync everything?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

You can buy Lion in the App Store now, but move to iCloud now. If you wait to Mountain Lion, you will only have Mail in Snow Leopard, so you will lose syncing unless you use Lion or Mountain Lion. It's up to you

Not possible to put them into icloud as alias. How to keep it working?HELP HELP because people sending me things to this email and since today no excess any more to the mobile me server?

Firstly, I note that your profile states that you are using OS X 10.5.8, in order to use iCloud on your computer you need OS X 10.7.2 or better.
Secondly, I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Post your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
Finally, are you sure that these additional addresses are aliases and not sub accounts on a family pack, aliases from MobileMe should transfer to an iCloud when you migrate.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Is calendar syncing enabled on both the computer and the phone.
Are your calendars in your iCloud group and not in a on my mac group.
only calendars in the iCloud group will sync.
