How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail? It's grayed out.
I ask this because I have suddenly stopped receiving most e-mails in Mail. I've found that my incoming mail server (p01-imap.mail.me.com) is different from what the Apple mail setup assistant recommends (mail.me.com), but I cannot change it because it is grayed out. Any ideas?

I'm afraid that AFAIK you've gone through the card. You could try Support, though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

How to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise

how to change the contact sync settings for icloud? please advise?

There are no settings to change. Assuming you are using Lion 10.7.2 (or 10.7.3) - which you should be - you simply sign in in System Preferences>iCloud and check 'Contacts' and any other data you want to sync.
If you are using an earlier system you will not be able to sync your contacts, and there is no workaround. However you can sync them with Google or Yahoo contacts, though I don't know how well this works.

There is no such thing as an "SMTP incoming mail server." You set up iCloud mail by checking the box marked Mail in the iCloud preference pane. You don't need to know the addresses of the servers.

dominic23:
That's just the name/description you can give the server that appears in Mail's preferences for that account.
After selecting Edit you can put in whatever you want in the description.
advisor81:
Why do you need to know the name? If you add an iCloud account in Mail all you really need is your Apple ID and password. The servers are automatically assigned.

HT2954 CAnnot change the incoming mail server for iCloud account

I cannot recieve mail because the imap setting is wrong, but I cannot highlight it to change.

Hi, was it maybe setup as a MobileMe or dot Mac account in the first place?
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

How to load delta, changing the name of file for every day with open hub?

Hi gurus,
I load daily delta data from ODS to flat file, using open hub.
The file is located on server. Now, if I do delta load from ODS to flat file, every day the file is overwritten, because it has the same name.
I want to load delta data everyday to different file name, for example BW_20060101 , BW_20060102, BW_2006_01_03 ....
How do I do that?
Best regards,
Uros

HT204053 I have changed my apple ID, but the account info on iCloud is still showing my old ID. How do I change the account name/ID for iCloud?

I have changed my Apple ID but the account info on iCloud is still referencing the old ID. How do I change the iCloud account details?

If you simply renamed your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from your phone (but not from iCloud) as well as any synced data. But provided you are signing back into the same account (just with a new name) it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in. Then set up your iCloud account with the new ID name and turn syncing back on. If you have photos in your photo stream album that are older than 30 days that you don't have anywhere else, you will need to save these to your camera roll before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If, however, you are changing to a new ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account. To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (Be sure to save any photo stream photos to your camera roll prior to deleting the account, as mentioned above.) Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.

How do I change the default Apple ID for iCloud on my Mac?

I am setting up my new MacBook Pro (OSX 10.9) from a time machine backup of my old machine (10.6.8). I want to back up my photos and music to iCloud where I have purchased addtional storage and linked several devices, but in setup, it doesn't allow me to delete the default ID which goes to a .mac Apple ID (which I have never used). Ideas? I don't want to buy another set of storage.

As soon as I posted, Ifigured this one out on my own by going into user settings and changing the default there. Then I was able to delete the default @mac account. Thanks!

Change the Releated Integration Server for all Business Systems

Hello,
follow Scenario:
We export the SLD entries from a Development System in a file.
Now we want to import the Entries in our Prod.-System, and we
have to assign (or change) to other Related Integration Server.
e.g. the esported Business System has in Development the
Related Integration Server D12, but in the Productive System we
need P12.
Is there a other possibility as to change first things first.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Stephan,
I think this is not the correct approach because development and productive systems are different. You must register your technical systems by means of RZ70 transactions. If you have two different landscapes (DEV, PROD) you must register on two SLD servers.

What is the incoming mail server for icloud?

All of a sudden I can not receive my icloud mail on my iMac.
I get it on my iPhone & my iPad.
I need to know what the incoming mail server setting should be.
Can any one help?
Thanks,
j.v. fromnc

On the Mac, open  > About this Mac, and tell us what OS X version you have.
If it's 10.6, modify your iCloud account in Mail manually and use "imap.mail.me.com", without quotes, as your incoming mail server.
If it's 10.7 or 10.8, close Mail, open System Preferences > iCloud, and unmark Mail. Then, mark Mail and open Mail

What is the best DNS server for iCloud and Apple services?

Hello. Im wondering what is the best DNS server to use with iCloud, and apple services.
Does apple have a dedicatrd DNS server?
I read a couple of articles stating that the google DNS servers like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 slow down apple and facebook services.
Did a couple of tests like iTunes streaming and found out that its true in some cases.

Not always!
