HT1338 Since moving to iCloud

Since moving to IClould from Mobile me, I now cannot get 'me.com' email and  Mobile Me is greyed out and inoperable.

I refer you to Rogers site on it
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
I prefer not to lock myself into iCloud and it's "only for 10.7 users" I think this is totally unreasonable as only 30% of Mac users are on 10.7, the rest are on 10.6 and 10.5.
Also 10.7 breaks a lot of third party software, hardware drivers etc., slows down older machines and people can't afford to upgrade just for iCloud.

Apple managed to get the AppStore on 10.6, they should also get iCloud on 10.6 as well.
I use Gmail, HushMail and other web based neutral solutions that way my email is not trapped, I can access them from any machine with a web browser.
Apple is making the mistake of integrating things so much, trapping people with iCloud and TimeMachine that more and more users are just going to avoid going with Apple because it's too locked in.

  • ICal issues since moving to iCloud

    I have had nothing but problems with my calendar since moving to iCloud. I have 2 desktops, both at Lion; a MBP at Lion; an iPad and an iPhone, both at iOS 5.x. Items added seem to disappear. On the laptop and desktops, even if I unclick the "on my mac" they continue to display, and are clicked automatically.  Isn't the idea to get everything up on iCloud, and not on my mac at all?
    Part of the frustration may be more associated with iCal itself.  The "create quick event" was the worst change to this app that has ever been implemented, and I've been using iCal and a .mac account since they were first offered.
    In iCal prefs, I only have 2 accounts- the work Exchange acct and my iCloud acct.and in the iCloud control panel, Calendars are checked. What am I missing?
    Thx,

    To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.

    Hi
    Since moving to iCloud my mail not sending attachments any answers?

    After the migration I started having problems with all NON Apple things.
    Now, as of July, 6th this is my situation:
    Lion devices and iOS5 devices (MacBook, MacPro, iPhone 4s and iPad I) - fine

  • E-mailing Photos from iPhoto not working since moving to iCloud.

    Since switching to iCloud, my iPhoto will not e-mail photos.  Says the e-mail server cannot recognize my username/password combination.  I am lost on this as I am using iCloud for e-mail just fine.

    Many Thanks to you stoli412 for dealing with iApps team~
    Anyway, I found out something by myself.
    I believe that email setup failure seems to be appeared on only those who transferred from MobileMe to iCloud.
    Which means that the one who newly joined iCloud.com account doesn't have any problem with setting up the account in iPhoto.
    I tested it with my wife's iCloud account, because she just happened to be newly joined in iCloud.com.
    Simply, it works fine! but when I switch the sending account with mine then error message again(Shoot!!)
    I really hope iApp team could come up with something soon.
    Fingers Crossed, of course!
    cheers.

  • Contacts GONE since moving to iCloud

    All my contacts are gone now that the transition to iCloud is complete.
    In my iCloud control panel, it want's me to turn on Outlook in order to use the contact list.
    Guess what? Windows 7 does not have Outlook! I have never had Outlook.
    I've searched the support pages and forums and don't see this problem anywhere. Other Contact problems but no one says they are missing completely.
    Am I screwed?!
    Thanks for any help or hint you can offer.

    Everything o.k. now.  Just a hiccup I guess.

  • Trouble since moving to iCloud

    Can't sync from mac to iphone.  Message in preferences, accounts permanently says 'computer registering'?

    iCloud uses different mail servers. Are you using those?

    Outlook cannot find the server. Verify the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct.

    Thanks.

    Hi
    My server settings are as follows:
    Username is the name without the "@mac.com"
    Password is my correct password
    Incoming server imap.mail.me.com
    Using default port (993)
    Use SSL to connect (recommended) checked
    Always use secure password is unchecked
    Outgoing server is smtp.mail.me.com
    Override Default port is checked and set to 587
    Use SSL to connect is checked
    Have tried both Use incoming Server info
    and Username and Password  (I get the same result with both)
    This has been happening for days so it's not the server problems that were causing it.

    I have no idea whether there is a causal relationship but since moving to Lion and iCloud, my iMac has become so unresponsive that I wind up having to crash and restart most of the time.  This is true regardless of the app I am using at the time.
    The specs of this iMac are:
    iMac 27 inch, late 2009 model with a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gig 1067 Mhz DDR3, using OSX Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
    I have Mackeeper installed and according to the scans I have run, everything is fine. No virus, no junk files . . . no problems at all . . .
    Except that for all practical purposes, my computer isn't working. 
    I am nearly totally deaf and live in an isolated, rural area of NW Missouri and this computer is what I mainly rely on to contact friends, relatives and business associtates!
    Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
    If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • Since moving to a stupid iCloud email address my message on my macbook won't work!!

    since moving to a stupid iCloud email address my message on my macbook won't work!
    <Edited by Host>

    So FYI, if it's any of your business lizdance40. One thing is, if your not to give me Advise on my problem then why waste my time responding.
    So here is the details. 
    I got an iCloud account a year ago and used all same info on my Apple ID. So my email account got hacked into about 8 months ago and I decided to get a new email on Gmail. Old one was a yahoo email. So as I tried changing everything over like iCloud and Apple ID I got a message on my iPhone to enter my password. We'll I did and it wouldn't work at all. So I tried to have the password email it to my old email account that I canceled. So I got in to it and no email was sent to that account at all. Then I went to change it all in iCloud and it asked me to answer questions to reset my password. The first question was my birthdate. I filled it in and it didn't let me in saying it was invaded date. So I informed the genus bar and they said to cancel that account because it sounds like it has been hacked into. So I have been trying to and add another one to my phone it it will not let me now. So there lizdance40. Now can you help me or tell me how stupid I am only?
