Convert old .mac/.me family pack emails into new apple ids

A few years ago I set up emails (.mac) for all my family as part if a .mac family account. Now my children are old enough to gave their own apple accounts I want them to be able to create new accounts with their, now .me email addresses as their Apple IDs - how do I/they do this?

Did each family member independently move their @me.com address to iCloud? I think each address had to be moved separately to retain it in iCloud.
Simple way to see - can any of you log in to www.icloud.com with their @me.com email address and password?
If that is true, then those @me.com addresses are now merely alternate email addresses for their iCloud inbox. Since the iCloud email address is automatically also an AppleID, they would already have an AppleID (their iCloud email address) and the @me.com would be their alternate email address for that same AppleID.
But, if you did not migrate the family pack, or each family member did not migrate their @me.com email address to iCloud back before July 1, 2012, then your entire family pack will have expired and disappeared.

HT4436 How can I transfer my odl family pack email to new iCloud id? Or add a new email account (not an alias) to my main icloud id?

I had a family pack but now I am not able to reach my son's email account. How can I find and transfer it? Or how can I open a new email account for my son through my icloud id. Actually it seems as if there is an oprating email account under his name but e-we cannot receive any emails or cannot reach the account settings...

Each sub-account of a MobileMe Family Pack should have been individually migrated to iCloud before August 1st last. Assuming that you didn't do this, you should be able to reactivate the address (though not retrieve its previous contents) by signing in with it in System Preferences>iCloud and enabling Mail - your son should do this on his own Mac or his own user account if he is using your Mac. It's not clear whether he will be able to reactivate the @me.com version or only get an @icloud.com version. (It would be useful to know, when he tries it.)
If he did migrate the account to iCloud then signing in in the same way should retrieve the contents and the @me.com address should work.
Alternatively he can just create a new Apple ID (for which he will need a new non-Apple email address) if he doesn't already have one, and sign in with that, enabling Mail and choosing a new @icloud.com address.
You should note that in none of these cases does his account have anything to do with yours (there is no need for a Family Pack equivalent in iCloud as it's free at basic level).
You could add an email alias to your account, but it's not a good idea as it will mix his emails up with yours and he won't be able to detach it later.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Connect it to iTunes with a USB cable and update it from the iTunes application.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting 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.

I have changed my email address, and apple ID online, but my iPad keeps bring up the old address and will not log into my Apple ID

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

I am trying to find an old mac font. It's the techno (apple) font that was available with OS 9. How can I get this font?

I think that was Tecno. Techno appears to be a whole class of fonts.
Is this the one? http://www.dafont.com/tecno.font
That's a .ttf version which should work OK with current OS.
As an aside, I was searching for Apple Textile for quite some time when it was pointed out to me that it was used by iDVD. Sure enough, opened up the installer package for iDVD with Pacifist and there it was. Now working fine on all my Macs!

If I have a new apple ID and password do I lose all of my old apps if I sync under the new apple ID?

If I have a new apple ID and password, do I lose all of my old apps if I sync to my new apple ID?

I'll ask my question differently. I have multiple devices and I sync them to my itunes account. For one of my devices, I gave it to a family member. I changed my itunes password and did not give it to the family member who has one of my devices. Will they be able to update applicable apps not having the new password?
Also, if that family member opens their own itunes account and purchase apps and sync the phone, will they lose all the apps that was purchased from my itunes account?

Hello, I've installed Lion but now it says I can't use the Cloud as I need the Apple ID Password to use Back to My Mac. I've obtained several new Apple ID passwords which work ok on my phone but doesn't seem to be the password it's looking for?

It's probably looking for the Apple ID & Password you used to purchase Lion, or ML as the case may be.
Thse are the Mountain Lion forums, is that what you meant?

Adding existing apple id to an iCloud family share
I would like to add family members to my existing apple id that is used for my iCloud account. All of the family members already have existing apple ids. Can I make these existing apple ids part of my family? I have tried this, but "verifying" the apple id always fails with "existing family member" or an error something to the effect "unable to do at this time, try again later."
Thanks

"am I still able to register another phone to the same ID?"
Yes.
") that I do end up creating a new apple ID "
This will cause complications. i do not recommend this.

.Mac iCloud family pack migration

I have been using a .Mac (or mobileme) account for years.
It's a family pack. My wife uses her own email account on her somewhat vintage G4 Powerbook.
I can't see how to migrate it within the family pack setup. If I start her off with a whole new iCloud account from scratch (which seems pretty tricky on 10.5 anyway) I have the problem of her iPhone which signs in for purchases on my master account don't I?
I've found and tried to follow a couple of setup guides for iCloud on 10.5.8 but they don't take into account the Family pack wrinkle.
Has anyone seen a walkthru that gets me anywhere near the functionality we've been enjoying for the past 5 years?

You can still migrate for a limited period

Split Family Pack email address

Hi All,
Back in 2007 or so, I upgraded my .mac account to a Family Pack so all of my family were included. Since then, it became MobileMe and now iCloud.
Now, my children's email addresses, for whatever reason, didn't get used and they have disappeared, but my wife's did and she still uses it as her main email address. But it is directly linked to mine and so basically acts as an alternative address.
Is there a way to split them, so they become individual iCloud accounts?
Best
David

You don't have to delete the other accounts when you migrate to iCloud. The others carry on fine until next June (July?) as me.com email accounts.
Whether and how those extra email accounts can be moved into iCloud later is the subject of my question at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16385044#16385044.

Converting old Mac Word floppy discs to PC Word

I used to have a Mac in the '90s. I have about 10 floppy disks with mostly Word docs that I want to convert to PC format. I bought an external floppy drive from Best Buy (Dynex) and connected it to a friend's Powerbook. His Powerbook recognized the floppy drive but not the disks or anything on the disks. Called Dynex support and went to their web site. No additional drivers were available (not even sure if that was problem). The manual mentioned something about 1.4 meg or highes disks, but mine are 1.0 meg (not even sure if that was problem.) Anyway, I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. I took floppy back to Best Buy.

Judy,
At this point, it would be very easy to get distracted from your original task.
You stated above:
"I've got a lot more than 10 discs at stake - figure out a way to transfer that data - from a MAC Classic II to a Pentium III?
- save the data in Rich Text Format on an IBM disc and it will translate - but that's not the problem.
The problem is that the MAC forces me to reformat the disc before it will allow me to use the disc and
once it's reformatted the Pentium will not read it unless I reformat it there and that would erase the data on the disc.
Any solutions? "
You might be tempted to focus all your energies on fixing the Classic II and forget your original task.
Let's take one step at a time. Restart your Mac while zapping the PRAM (post back if you need instructions). If it continues to act up, forget it for now. Your data is on the floppies, not your hard drive.
If your Mac starts up again, you might consider getting a zip drive or an external hard drive and installing a newer system on it. The newer system will recognize IBM disks using PC Exchange. Otherwise, find a newer replacement that is set up to do what you need to do.
Meanwhile, there are some fundamental questions raised by your comments. You said that they are IBM disks. Why does your Pentium III not read them? What computer formatted those disks in the first place? How did the data get saved to those disks?
Could it be that the 1.4 disks were inserted into a Mac with an 800k drive and it was too old to know that the disk was a newer 1.4? In that case, it is actually a Mac disk that the P III will not recognize and an improperly used Mac 1.4 disk that was formatted to Mac 800k. Then a newer Mac will not recognize it either.
By taping over the HD indicator hole on a 1.4k disk, you can insert it into a newer Mac with a Super Drive and the drive will think it is an 800k disk and 'change gears,' so to speak, to read the data tracks that are too wide for a 1,400k drive. Keep in mind that the 1.4 drive invented by Sony is really a 2,000k drive but not used to its full potential. The tracks can be read wide or narrow, variable speed or fixed speed.
There is much more history than you may want to learn. The bottom line is that there is more information required about those disks than what we know so far.
Apple File Exchange did not kill your computer but old age probably is having an effect. When you tried to access the floppy drive, AFE may have crashed because it did not know how to handle a system error caused by a dead floppy drive.
Are you in a location where you could obtain another newer Mac for a modest price? Your goal is to save data from floppies, not save a dying computer that is easily replaced. Where are you in Canada? The last individual to post with a similar dilema lived in Vancouver, could get to Seattle, WA where G3 sell for $5 and found lots of alternatives .
To recap, what computer created the disks? Are those disks truely IBM or just labeled that way? Were they created on an older Mac and then moved to a newer Mac? The facts do not add up for a Classic II to create a disk and then not recognize the disk unless the drive is failing. Time for some detective work.

How verify icloud on cancelled .me family pack email]

I think the reason I'm not getting the verificatin email for my husband's new iphone is that the appleID he has is for an email account that was registered to an email address that was part of a .me family pack that we downsized and that email address no longer exists. We cancelled it before the me/icloud change over, so now there is no way to add it back. What should I do now? What I had assumed was his apple ID all this time in the past, what we have been using for ITUNES and the Apple Store all this time was really just an affiliated email address that is verified on his apple ID account (must have been done previously), but that doesn't seem to be where the verification email is being sent.
Or I could be nuts and that may not be why I'm not getting the verification email, but I have an account and mine worked fine, and so did my daughters, and I'm a VBA report writer and generally not considered an idiot with regards to computers. I.e. it's not sitting in my junkmail.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Roger,
Thank you for the answer.
I think I did migrate to iCloud. I rememeber doing all that process from me.com to iCloud.com
The only problem I have now is that when for example I sign out myself from my wife's laptop and sign her in, she only can share Contacts, Mail and Calendar. She dont have an access to other features like Documents, Bookmarks, etc.
The message I have is: This is not your primary iCould account. Only primary account can use Bookmarks, Photo Stream (etc) or iCloud Storage.
How can I change that?

Old .mac appleid and primary email

I had an old .mac appleid. It doesn't receive email as the account wasn't active in the .me era. I was editing the questions in 'Manage My Appleid' and noticed an option to make the primary email account the same as my appleid. Thinking it would turn on the routing of the .mac account to icloud I confirmed that option. It made the .mac account the primary email account but didn't turn on routing the .mac address to icloud. Now I have a primary email account that doesn't receive email. I don't see an option to edit the .mac email address.
Anyone know of a solution to this?

You are not going to be able to make the @mac.com address work no matter what you do. You would be best off changing your ID to a third party working address such as a GMail one.

HT5621 I have 2 email addresses ( 1 mac. and 1 blueyonder.) with separate Apple IDs for each ( again 1 mac and 1 blueyonder). This has consistently given me problems with passwords and I would now like to combine them into one account to help overcome thi

I have 2 email addresses (1 mac.and 1 blueyonder.) each with separate identities and passwords. I am forever getting asked to verify identity and/or passwords and having these refused and me then having to set up new ones. Can I combine my email addresses to a single Apple Identity and Password? If yes then How?
Any help much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!

Depending on what you're asking...
There is no means to merge Apple IDs. You can change the mail address assocaited with your Apple ID, so you might switch to using and purchasing from one email address, and using the second as a backup. (There's no means to merge the purchases, and related baggage.)
While I'm guessing this was about Apple IDs, for completeness... Combining the mail messages involving multiple email addresses is separate from the Apple ID; that is usually done with some combination of notifying the senders or with the forwarding of messages from one mail server to the preferred server. Or running multiple mail accounts in parallel, depending on what you are up to.
