HT204053 From MobileMe to ICloud; My Mac doesn't have ICloud in the 'Preference" list as instructed

So, it isn't listed...and very cumbersome to read email new...and all old are under MobileMe that isn't online... HUGH?  User friendliness was missed on this mandatory change. Now what does one do?
I have spent hours trying to figure it out~!   This seems to be Microsoft now~!  ANY IDEAS?

You have Snow Leopard or early. You must upgrade to Lion to have iCloud

  • Upgrade iWeb from 1.2 to 3.4 and now have subcategories on the site listed as websites??

    I just updated my old iWeb 1.2 to iWeb 3.4.   I have been using iWeb for years very successfully but having to upload using CuteFTP has recently been challenging thus the upgrade.  Now in the navigator bar, my "albums" which contained photo's and info are now converted to separate "websites"  ?????   What do I do to get this back under a single website as subcategories/albums??
    Help.   Been at this all day.  Tired and frustrated.

    You don't have a separate website, but what you need to understand is that with iWeb 1 or 06 that you have just been using, you would have had to publish your site to your desktop before uploading with CuteFTP and what you can do when you upload is just to upload the contents of your site folder, however, when you switched to iWeb 09 that has the built in ftp function, it uploads the site folder too, so this is why - you don't have 2 sites but the subfolder name.
    This is the way that iWeb will publish - when you publish to a local folder you will get a sitename and this is the name you gave your site in iWeb.  Lots of people do not like this, so have uploaded their sites using Cyberduck, but have just upload the contents of the site folder instead of the whole folder itself.  Unfortunately, if you use iWebs built in ftp client, then you don't have this choice and iWeb upload everything, so this is probably the problem that you are having.
    The only way to fix it is to publish your site to the desktop again and then re-upload it using an ftp programme again.
    It might also be time to look at new software - iWeb is old and no longer sold or supported by Apple and has not been for the last 2 years, so perhaps take a look at the many alternatives that are available such as RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux 4 and the most iWeb like out of all of them and new, having been developed by Rage Software, http://www.everwebapp.com.  Check it out and it will do everything you ever wanted to do in iWeb - dropdown menus etc., and more and it is very like iWeb in design and functionality and it also have SEO built into it too.
    Suggest that you check it out.

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

  • 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.

    Does that mean though that I have to change to the Lion, despite its shortcomings, in order for iCloud to work and not lose the current beneifts of synchronisation I have with Mobileme
    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:

    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

  • I've migrated from MobileMe to iCloud - can I still access my iDisk on my Mac and how?

    I've just migrated from MobileMe to iCloud and have noticed that iDisk on my Mac has disappeared. Is there still a way for me to access my iDisk on my Mac? Can I still sync with it before MobileMe is canceled altogether (June 2012)?
    Thanks in advance!

    iDisk is not a feature of iCloud.
    However, just log back into MobileMe in the MobileMe system preferences pane and your iDisk will be accessible again.

    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,

  • I moved from mobileme to icloud yesterday.  events i entered today on my iphone synced to icloud, but not ical on my mac?

    Yesterday I moved from MobileMe to iCloud.  Everything moved.  Today I entered new events on my iPhone and they synced to iCloud, but not to iCal on my MacBook.  Any thoughts as to why?

    I am using iCloud, been on it for weeks and the calendars and contacts work for me but they don't work for my wife's profile.  I am running 10.7.2 on our MacBook and our iMac desktop.  We have a lot of devices and I'm struggling to get them all on the same page.  We each have our own iPhones and we share an iPad, so that's five total devices I'm trying to sync via iCloud. 
    Specifically, she updates contacts on iPhone and they never sync with desktop... its been weeks and they still haven't synced.  when I go to iTunes the options are the same as I did for my profile...
    any ideas?

  • Problems with calendar sharing from mobileme to icloud

    I have changed from mobileme to icloud, and can no longer synch calendars with my older work mac, which is not running on lion, or with my partner, who is still on mobileme and whose older mac is also not running on lion. Is there any way of syncing and sharing calendars across these platforms?

    Thanks I will look into it - although it is unfortunate that, having already paid for mobileme and following Apple's exhortations to switch to icloud, I have gone from a smooth to an unsatisfactory situation, and might need to turn to external software to resolve this.
    Well, I know what you mean but .... I switched to BusyCal quite a while back for the extra functionality it offered over iCal, and even though I think iCal 'should' do what i want it doesn't, so I quit cutting off my own nose and paid for something that did what I wanted instead.

  • Just converted from MobileMe to iCloud. But now my iCal does not sync with either my iPhone or iCloud.  What have I missed?

    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.

    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.
