How did you do that? According to Apple, the system requirements for iCloud is OS X Lion 10.7.2 or later. You posted in the Snow Leopard forums and your system info is showing "Mac OS X (10.6.8)"

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.

You can migrate to iCloud, but the only thing you will be able to do is access email, and you will have toi set Mail up manually to do this:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
This is worth doing to maintain your email address, but you won't be able to sync calendars, contacts or bookmarks. Your calendars and contacts will be removed from MobileMe (though not from your Mac) and won't appear on the iCloud website.

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 :]

before upgrading to Lion, I switched from MobileMe to iCloud. At that time I used my MobileMe user name and password. I purchased additional storage space to 20GB. I was unable to send any emails during this time. After researching, I upgraded to Lion and changed my icloud mail usuer name and password from the original I used from mobileme. How do I get my upgraded storage to my new account. I intend to delete the first one.
Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately you can't, the additional storage belongs to your first account, you can't transfer it.

TS3276 Mail rejected password to one of my 3 accounts with Gmail, all old. Successfully entered the account from Google mail interface. What's wrong?

I have had Mail for years. Have new MacBook Pro, set my old 3 accounts with Gmail, used them successfully. Yesterday, Mail rejected password to one of my accounts and does not accept it repeatedly. I entered this account from Gmail page, no problem, so my password is correct. Went back to Mail, this particular account is rejected. Checked all Mail preferences, all are the same as initially set. What is wrong?

In both cases, the default address is right. However, upon receiving the email, it says the wrong address. Thus, when people reply to my emails, I do not get it in my apple email, I have to sign in under the other (wrong) email address.

Switching from mac to pc and syncing iphone

I am preparing to move from a macbook pro to a pc laptop. I have a first generation iphone that is synced over the air with exchange for calendars, email, and contacts. I currently sync with my mac for music through itunes.
I plan to install itunes on the pc, copy over the itunes library from the mac to the PC, and authorize my itunes account on the new pc and deauthorize itunes on the mac. After I do all this and plug my iphone into the new pc I am thinking that the iphone will be re-formated to work with the pc but that all my settings should be the same. Am I missing anything? I hope to keep all my settings the same on the phone and keep all my music.

Yeah, that's the first time I've heard that one (switching from Mac to PC). I know this doesn't pertain to your question, but why are you switching? I'm running Vista and my next comp will definitely be a Mac. In addition to AV, Antisypware, and a firewall, be sure to get a Registry cleaner and defragmenting program (unless you want to use the crappy one that comes with Windows). I'm looking forward to not having to spend so much time keeping Windows working right and money securing it.

Switching from mac to PC and using iTunes + iPod

I recently switched from PC to a Mac Mini. It's great, but I don't know how to move my music library from PC to Mac.
After that, what is the handling to do for using my iPod (previously used with PC) with my Mac now.
Thank you

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.

How do i retrieve my icloud mail ID password. It is not matching my current Apple ID password

How do i retrieve my icloud mail ID password. It is not matching my current Apple ID password

See the quote below from http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
An Apple ID is the login you use for just about everything you do with Apple, including using iCloud to store your content, downloading apps from the App Store, and buying songs, movies, and TV shows from the iTunes Store.
If you are using a second Apple ID for iCloud you would recover the password in the same way: If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support

HT201342 I have not been able to upgrade to a new computer. So I am running an old OS 10.5.8 in a Powerbook Pro 15¨. I recently have had some e-mail problems. I would like to know if this is related with all transitional process from @mac to @icloud.

I have just starting having problems with my @mac.com account because I still have an old computer. Un fortunatelly so many years this is my main account and no option to send e-mail are possible.
Is this related with the transitional process from moving to an @icloud.com account?
regards

First of all, your profile says you are using OSX 10.5.8 which is incompatible wth all features of icloud, although users have been able to use icloud's email with older versions. With the transition to @icloud.com accounts, it's difficult to say what the effect is regarding older versions of OSX. I've read posts by others who are still using these versions and have now been having problems with emails.
iCloud mail is a standard Imap account, any version of OSX (or Windows) with an Imap compatible mail client can use it.

Switching from Entourage to ical, mail, and address book- duplications?

I am tired of the slowness of Entourage and was thinking of switching to all of the native mac programs. Any suggestions or comments on whether this is a good idea or not?
Also, will all of my information be duplicated. I have about 3 gigs of information and I don't want to needlessly store it if I don't need to. Can I get some advice on where to find and extract that information from the entourage program so I am not eating up disc space unnecessarily.
Thank you.

Three weeks ago I switched from Entourage and Palm Desktop to Apple mail, address book and ical. It was a tad painful because I ended up with a lot of duplicates as I had email and some contact info in Entourage and several thousand contacts in Palm Desktop.
However after a couple of solid nights sorting out the duplicates all the contact info for each person is now in one place.
Word of warning though when you are checking address book entries make sure you keep backing up the changes (File - Backup address book) because for some inexplicable reason a couple of times all the entries in address book vanished.
Also the check for duplicates option in address book might be great for some but for me it created contacts that had their addresses and phone numbers duplicated several times.
After initial teething problems (getting used to the different programs) I am now pretty happy with the changeover. I am ecstatic to not be seeing the constant Entourage error message of 'your database is damaged and needs to be rebuilt' which entourage kept throwing at me (even after repeated rebuilds).
I have a Palm Treo and Address Book and iCal sync fine with that as well (after installing the conduit).
You'll also find in mail that you can't do as much snazzy formatting as you could with Entourage (ie numbered lists and bullet points) but hopefully Apple will address that in later updates. In the meantime if I'm desperate for formatting I write the email in rtf and paste it across complete with bluet points.
Sorry to drone on but wanted to give you some moral support.
Oh by the way the entourage data is stored in Home folder - Documents - Microsoft User Data - Office 2004 Identities - main identity - database (almost need a compass and flashlight to find it). To be on the safe side burn it to a dvd just in case and then trash it and all it's little friends (rules, lists, signatures and the other main identity folders.
Good luck
