HT4597 Am I missing a step from MobileMe to iCloud?

I am trying to switch from MobileMe to iCloud and have gone to me.com/move, but when I open up iCloud in System Preferences, it still tells me that I need to move my account to iCloud.

how do i activate it on my mac? i think this is the root of my problem. it still shows me this, although i activated my iCloud account long ago.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?

My iphone and my ipad are compatible but when I try to go to icloud on my phone it says to do it on my computer.
I would like to have my calendar, contacts, etc.. all sync like they do now. Is there a way to upgrade before June 30th? If not, will the gap be an issue or will I just be able to buy mountain lion and sync everything?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

You can buy Lion in the App Store now, but move to iCloud now. If you wait to Mountain Lion, you will only have Mail in Snow Leopard, so you will lose syncing unless you use Lion or Mountain Lion. It's up to you

Firstly, I note that your profile states that you are using OS X 10.5.8, in order to use iCloud on your computer you need OS X 10.7.2 or better.
Secondly, I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Post 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.
Finally, are you sure that these additional addresses are aliases and not sub accounts on a family pack, aliases from MobileMe should transfer to an iCloud when you migrate.

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:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
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:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
To get the full functions of iCloud you need Lion 10.7.2

I have an 8 year old G5 / OS X 10.4.11, what kind of problems will I have now switching from Mobileme to iCloud?

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 :]

Moving from MobileMe to iCloud

I've just ordered the new 3rd generation iPad and I'm looking ahead to when I will be making the move from MobileMe to iCloud. I have over 5GB of emails and attachments accumulated in folders in the mail.app on my Macbook, which is too old to run OS X 10.7. Are all those old emails going to be moved to iCloud, or just new ones?
Thanks.
RB

Roger,
Thanks for the reply. I think you have essentially answered my question, although indirectly. The emails I was concerned about are no longer on the server, due to having been moved out of the INBOX into other folders. So, if I am understanding correctly the only mail that will get moved to iCloud will be those messages that are still on the mobileme server at the time I initiate the change to iCloud.
From that point on, all new messages (coming via the server) will be pushed to all of my iCloud-able devices (and in a diminished capacity to my Snow Leopard-bound MacBook once I set that up), and all my old messages will reside only on my MacBook.
I appreciate your help!

HT2968 From Mobileme to Icloud

How do i move my data from mobileme to Icloud?
As it is now I can access via my old mobileme, and my new icloud account is empty.

Have you tried going to Settings>iCloud and signing into your iCloud account, then turning Contacts, Calendars, Mail, etc. to On, and if prompted, choosing Merge?

Moved from MobileMe to iCloud

I just moved from MobileMe to iCloud and in Mail, my iCloud Inbox shows I have -1 new emails...How is this possible...It's just annoyance...How do I fix this?
Thanks!

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?
