Confused about transition from MobileMe

Up until now I actually have been happy with MobileMe. But I wanted to transition to iCloud since MobileMe will shut down at the end of June.
So today, I started the transition to iCloud. However, I am confused about how to set up all the devices we used to use on MobileMe. Before our family shared five computers, three iPhones, one iPod Touch and 2 iPads. Under MobileMe, we were able to all share the calendars and contacts. Now I have no idea how to have multiple devices share calendars and contacts. Each person in my family has their own separate Apple ID. Is there a way that multiple Apple ID's can share on iCloud account? If so, how do we set that up? I have no idea how to get one machine to see the general iCloud account.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Actually, that was changed in the iOS 5.1.1 update. You can now stop the phone from defaulting to CDMA by going into Settings>General>Roaming>International CDMA and making sure it's set to "off". While it doesn't sound as if there's any harm in setting Data Roaming to off, I don't think it matters in this circumstance.

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

Transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, need iCal help!

I've made the transition from MobileMe to iCloud. My Macbook's system prefs shows on iCloud account, using my mobileme email. My iCal however, only shows my me.com calendars, while the iCloud.com online calendar only shows the two default calendars. Am I missing something?

I am in EXACTLY the same boat.
Double points to the correct answer!
Good luck Chris.

After transition from mobileme to iCloud everything seems working as expected, except from my music that doesn't sync within devices. Any suggestions?

Hi pvonk,
Thanks for the tip...I just logged onto iCloud.com and the folders/mail are correct (compared to my laptop). This tells me the problem is on my phone. So I will try an erase/restore to see what that does!
thanks,

Contacts did not transition from MobileMe to iCloud...now what?

Running Windows Vista and Windows Mail here. Which I understand that in order to sync contacts with it requires Outlook on my computer. That's ok at this point and is not crucial because I can always hard wire the iPhone to iTunes and sync with my computer that way but my problem is that I cannot get my contacts onto iCloud!!! When I transitioned from MM to iCloud all my contacts didn't transition. There is only 1 contact showing in iCloud and that is the [email protected] THAT'S ALL! No other contacts are there.
How do I get my contacts that were on Mobile Me over to iClould now that MM is gone!

Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in. (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

?'s About Transitioning from Bridge to LR

I have a couple of questions before installing LR and importing work already done through Bridge. I searched the archives but didn't see exactly what I'm looking for - apologies in advance if I missed it.
1) I have been reading about using stacks, "virtual" copies, etc. so that I don't have to have actual duplicate images. Awesome paradigm shift for future work. BUT, I'm wondering how to deal with a related scenario for previous work. I shoot raw, and I often setup a directory structure like this:
2007-03-17_soccer/ (where Raw files sit)
2007-03-17_soccer/Converted (where files converted to jpg, psd, etc. sit)
2007-03-17_soccer/Converted/5x7 (where 5x7 cropped print file sit)
My file name for a given image is the same in each of multiple directories. For example, an image might be named "img-123.jpg" in the Converted directory, the 5x7 directory, the 8x10 directory, and so on. I have tended to distinguish images based on crops, etc. via the directory structure, opting to keep file names concise so they don't get truncated when uploading to my lab.
How will LR handle this when I import? And if I use keywords for Metadata to find images under this scenario, how do I keep LR from giving me all of the duplicates. Without renaming all of my older files, is there a good way of handling this in LR when I import and set things up?
2) All of my Raw files already have XMP's in the same folders as the images. I love XMP's because they maintain my Raw conversion settings, and when I backup to CD/DVD and am ready to delete files from my hard drive, I can backup the XMP's with the files and always have my conversion settings.
When I import these existing files that already have XMP's, what will happen? Will LR recognize these existing XMP's and their ACR related settings? And what if I make additional changes to one of these Raw files via Lightroom - how would Bridge deal with this if I were to view the file in Bridge at a later date?
Thanks!
Mark

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback.
CHRIS - you are exactly right about my FUTURE workflow. What I'm trying to figure out now is how to best handle images already processed. My import should be OK based on the way I have duplicates in separate directories, BUT I'm wondering how to avoid seeing all of these duplicates in LR when I search by keyword, etc.? I guess I can somehow flag the RAW files and only get them in my results.
One question though - Stacks, etc. sounds great for the LR processed images. But what about variations based on processing in Photoshop after the LR Develop stage? I guess in this case I will just have to keep duplicate images if I have multiple versions from my PS work?
ISAAC - Thanks for clarifying that LR will recognize my XMP files from Bridge. What about the opposite direction . . . if I edit something in LR and capture this via XMP, it won't prohibit Bridge from recognizing XMP info if I access a file via Bridge, will it?
ALSO - Do you know where I can find info about tracking via XMP vs. the central database? You mentioned a couple of valid points, but I'm not sure I have a full handle on the pros/cons of these options.
Thanks!

Confusion about recovery from tag

Hi All,
We had a situation where we need to restore and recover to point in time until 24th June. One of our colleagues at first restored the controlfile from 24th June backup using below script..
run
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=masterhp003.xxxxx.com,NB_ORA_POLICY=ora_pacerprd01_pacerprd,NB_ORA_CLIENT=orasalxhp603),BLKSIZE=524288';
restore controlfile from 'TAG20130624T004158';
release channel c1;
After that he executed the below script to recover the database.
run
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE SBT_TAPE PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=masterhp003.xxxxx.com,NB_ORA_POLICY=ora_pacerprd01_pacerprd,NB_ORA_CLIENT=orasalxhp603),BLKSIZE=524288';

restore database from tag 'PACERPRD_LEVEL0_174_24';
switch datafile all;
recover database;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
release channel c3;
release channel c4;
The tag 'PACERPRD_LEVEL0_174_24' was also from 24th datafile backup.
Please suggest whether the database was restored until 24th or it was restored to the current data.Please help us to understand.

If you would look up the recover database command in the online documentation,
you would notice the following
nowhere in your code you restored the controlfile, so you are using the current controlfile
nowhere in your code you are using 'set until' and you are not using the 'until clause' of the recover database command
This means you performed complete recovery, until now.
Please spend a bit of time to read the documentation and to understand what they are taking about.

Advice about transitioning from a Forms developer to Oracle Applications.

Hi guys,
I need some advice and input about the subject.
I have been an Oracle programmer for 8+ years and worked on various versions
of the database and front end tools upto the lastest versions.
With extensive experience in forms, how smooth would the transition be to
being a technical programmer in Oracle Applications / EBS 11i/12.
Since the applications front end in build on Oracle Forms platform,
what more would I need to get a position as a Technical Consultant?
Do I need a very strong understanding of subject areas like accounting, supply chain etc...
I intent to certify in at least the Financial modules.
I would appreciate any input on this subject.
Thanks

Confused about advice from Verizon re:International Traveling

I have an iphone 4S with Verizon. As I am going to be traveling in France this summer I decided to get a local French SIM card through LeFrenchMobile. I received that, called Verizon, had phone unlocked, and the French SIM card works perfectly. Then the Verizon representative told me I needed to go in and turn Data Roaming off so as not to be charged by Verizon. I explained that when abroad I will be using the French SIM card and therefore the data should not show up on my Verizon account. She told me No, there would still be charges from Verizon for data if I leave that on. So I am confused? I can understand why she would say that if I was leaving in the Verizon SIM but with that out of the phone is there any other method of them charging my data roaming abroad. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Actually, that was changed in the iOS 5.1.1 update. You can now stop the phone from defaulting to CDMA by going into Settings>General>Roaming>International CDMA and making sure it's set to "off". While it doesn't sound as if there's any harm in setting Data Roaming to off, I don't think it matters in this circumstance.

What should I know about transitioning from original iPad to New iPad?

I'm about to set up my new iPad -- I have an old, first generation iPad. What do I need to know?

What sort of thing do you want to know ? If you want the same content on the new iPad as you've got on the old one then copy all purchases off it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and then do a backup (right-click the iPad device on the left-hand side of iTunes), and then restore that backup onto the new iPad (you will need to enter email, router and other passwords on the new iPad, the restore won't copy them onto it)

RSS feed from MobileMe to GoDaddy

Hello,
Forgive me for asking this queston late in the game, but I previously made the switch from MobileMe to GoDaddy. Could somebody please confirm my new RSS feed with GoDaddy (or maybe I need assistance confirming my old feed)?
Is the new feed
http://www.warbirdshow.com/Warbird_Show/Warbird_Show/rss.xml
Was my old feed
http://web.me.com/warbirdshow/warbird_show/warbird_show/rss.xml
I don't do a lot of podcasting, but was trying to successfully transition from MobileMe to GoDaddy and save my 7 podcasts.
I realize I'm asking this late in the game, but any assistnce would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

http://web.me.com/warbirdshow/warbird_show/warbird_show/rss.xml - there is no file at this address.
http://www.warbirdshow.com/Warbird_Show/Warbird_Show/rss.xml - there is a feed at this address.
Your iTunes Store page is http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/warbird-show/id408763490
and it is indeed using the second feed, so you are all OK. Ideally the old feed should have been left in place for two weeks so that any subscribers could be seamlessly redirected when they checked the feed, but it's too late to worry about that. They would be able to re-subscribe from the Store page.

Where is my "free" 20GB from MobileMe account to iCloud?

Hello,
I finalized my transition from MobileMe to iCloud. I know that current MobileMe subscribers are entitled to an additional 20GB on iCloud for free (regularly at $40/yr). However, when I completed my transition, I did not see my free storage. Do I need to go through the "upgrade your storage" process as if I am about to pay for it? Or was it supposed to happen automatically and it didn't?
Please advise.
Thanks,
icfirat

Did you have a full MobileMe account, or a Family Pack sub-account? - the latter can be migrated to iCloud but do not get the free 20GB.
If you had a full MobileMe account and cannot find your 20GB you probably need to contact Support:

Has anyone moved from mobileme to icloud?

Hi
Am a bit worried about mopving from mobileme to icloud as I dont want to lose my iweb site. Im aware that Ill have to change it by next June, but has anyone moved over and if so are your iweb sites still working in the meantime.?
many thanks

To add to Ethmoid's post: it is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

I'm confused about the apple ID transition from my aol screen name. Does it continue to use my aol email as my apple ID, converting it somehow or do I need to provide a new email address or just create a new username for the apple ID?

I'm confused about the transition to an apple ID that doesn't use my aol email to sign in. The instructions are vague and ambiguous. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, so if your current Apple ID using your AOL Username (like johndoe), then you need to log onto Manage your Apple ID and EDIT that AOL Username to a valid email address: Apple - My Apple ID
If you have an AOL email address (like [email protected]), and you are not using that as another Apple ID, you can change the AOL Username Apple ID to that. Otherwise, you can change it to any valid email address (which you will have to verify when you change to it).
Hope that clears it up. Post back if it doesn't!
Cheers,

If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this. Thank you.

The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20) into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
Thank you again for your help and wisdom.
