HT4897 Aliases not viewable on iCloud.

I'd be grateful if any one could assist. I recently moved to iCloud from mobile me. I had eight aliases but now can only see five on iCloud. All of the aliases are still working but I can't change any settings on the 3 of the old aliases, as they don't appear on iCloud mail preference settings. (Apple support say you get to keep all your aliases when transferring from mobileme.

I don't think dwb's answer is correct, as I have several accounts from migrating from a mobileme family account, all of them with five aliases.
And while the sub accounts that I only migrated to "keep email" don't show their aliases (while the still are in effect), my main account that got a "complete" iCloud migration (you could choose between those options) does show all five aliases. Like before.
It's true that you can't change the aliases without first deleting at least many to come down to two. (since three are allowed, and if you have five already, you have to delete three to come down to two and have one availble again), but other than that the non-display seems to just be a BUG and I would suggest you file it with Apple's support as I will, too.
Therefore, dwb's "frozen" theory, while sounding logical, is probably just a hunch.

Family pack aliases not merged into icloud?

My Mobile Me family pack sub mail address is updated to icloud but I did notice sub address aliases are not merged into icloud. They are still mobile me accounts in Mail. How to merge them into icloud so I could use icloud.com too? Or will Apple delete aliases still under MM some times?
Anyone find same issue?

Check out these support articles.

Greetings Nefertiti72,
It seems you are experiencing an issue with contact syncing and management. It seems you've removed an email account which contained a number of contacts that are not associated with your iCloud account. I have linked to a knowledge base article which provides more information about iCloud contacts syncing:
Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
Learn what to do if you’re having issues using iCloud Contacts. For example, you might make changes to Contacts that don't update across all of your devices.
You may want to consider importing the contacts from the email account you removed. You can do it easily by following the steps in this article:
iCloud: Import a vCard
You can import an electronic business card, also called a vCard, into iCloud Contacts. If the vCard contains contact information for more than one person, each contact becomes a separate entry.
In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
Select a vCard to import.
The contacts from the vCard are added to the All Contacts group in Contacts. You can add the contacts to any other group by dragging them to the desired group.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Email Will Not Delete from iCloud

I am using iCloud free storage and have deleted all of my emails from iCould.com and from my device, but my iCloud storage still registers that I have over 6 gigabits of email on my two devices.
Apple support has been absolutely no help, and now are refusing to troubleshoot the issue event though they know there is an issue.
1.      I have deleted all my emails form my devices and the cloud, sent, deleted, archived, etc.
2.      Reset and restored my device to new factory setting and not to a backup.
3.      Logged into the iCloud under apple aliases, @me.com and @icloud.com and these show no email.
Even though I have taken these actions my devices still show that I am using 6+ gigabits of email storage in settings-icloud-storage and backup-manage storage. There is absolutely no way to delete these email from the device of the icloud.
I have exhausted all my resources and think I will have to find another way to manage my digital media because the support I have gotten from apple concerning this issue is abysmal. The rep. I just got off the phone with told me that I needed to have a previous case number in order to help, I told her and had been a few months. When I found the case number she said she couldn’t help because it had been over 30 days.

If you hold the command key down (the one with the ⌘ on it) and hit the + key you can make the fonts larger. Might help out, I know as I've gotten up there in years I've had to use it more and more
In the mean time while twtwtw mulls this over, can you supply any further information? Did the system crash or didi anything change before you started having the problem? Are you really running 10.5.8 as your profile says?
We'll start with those for now,

Some playlists and/or songs "not eligible for iCloud"

I have a playlist that contains only music but iTunes Match refuses to upload it, saying it contains "other media types".
Having thoroughly gone through the contents of the playlist, I have found one song, a Frank Sinatra .mp3 ripped from a CD I own, that is listed as "not eligible for iCloud", as well as 4 songs marked by iCloud as "duplicates"
I have tried manually adding the Frank song to iCloud but its status remains unchanged.
The song, in mono, is a 733K MP3
I had to convert it to AAC which nearly quadrupled the size of the file to 3.2 MB and now it's uploaded...
However the status of the playlist remained unchanged until I also removed the "duplicates"
a) iCloud should nevertheless sync playlists, minus the ineligible tracks
b) or you should get a warning that it won't sync the playlist, and better error reporting so you can actually understand what the issue is, as opposed to the usually vague "iCloud doesn't like your track, but won't tell you why" message...
c) duplicate tracks in playlists should automatically (or after a prompt) be replaced by the original track that is in iCloud.
iTunes Match, you have wasted many hours of my time despite my well organized and healthy library.
Argh.

I lost my iphone and my macbook pro does not show the icloud in system pref. how do i get icloud on my mac?

iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.

I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best. Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself. A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network. Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

MBP will not register with iCloud servers (and most iCloud features + Handoff and Continuity do not work)

Hi all,
I have an extremely strange issue on my rMBP which has not been solved yet despite over 2 hours on the phone with Apple support, and another hour after being put through to a Senior Advisor, and several online chats.
I have a Apple Certified Refurbished Late 2013 Retina Macbook Pro, which has a 2.3Ghz i7, 16GB of RAM, 500 Flash Storage and the NVIDIA discrete graphics. It was purchased in December 2014 on the Apple Store. It is running 10.10.2.
For some reason, my computer WILL NOT register with iCloud. Messages and Facetime both would not work, my iPhone 4S which is capable of text message forwarding would not recognise it and allow me to turn it on. Handoff, Continuity and Instant Hotspot - basically any of the features to do with iCloud or connecting to another device - do not work.
Originally I believed it was just an issue with Messages and Facetime so I reinstalled the OS back to 10.10.1, but that did not solve the problem. All my Messages contacts kept on coming back as 'not registered with iMessage' and I could not turn on SMS Relay either.
I contacted Apple on Wednesday night and ended up talking to several different people, the Senior Advisor was the most helpful - really tried to help me figure out what was wrong, and to fix it - wonderful help, really was. They used screen sharing and were quite confused. They figured out as well that Handoff, Instant Hotspot, and all those other features don't work either. At this point, they made me update to 10.10.2 to see if it was an issue with the update, but to no avail.
Eventually, the SA checked my iCloud account and saw that the computer hadn't even connected to iCloud, and wasn't even showing up as one of my devices, despite the fact that I had signed into iCloud on this computer.
The SA told me that he suspected it must have been something to do with hardware, but didn't know what it could be. He said the only time he had seen this before was on a refurbished laptop when the serial number hadn't been put back on, but my serial number was there, so he said it must have been something to do with Bluetooth or Wifi.
Wireless seems to work completely fine, but there is a strange thing with Bluetooth in which within System report says that the computer is not discoverable or connectable, despite the fact that in the Menu Bar it says it is on and discoverable. It becomes discoverable and connectable once you toggle the switch in System Preferences.
I was planning to book a Genius Bar Appointment as suggested by the SA, but something strange happened today - all of a sudden, some (not all of them) of my iMessages from earlier today came through. Still no working Handoff or Facetime or Continuity, but now I am starting to wonder what is really wrong.
Despite the fact they said it was hardware (especially Bluetooth), what could explain why it (seldom) or will not register with iCloud? Can anybody shed some light on the situation and whether a Genius Bar appointment could help fix it?
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Needed to add some clarification here:
iCloud shows me as signed in, but Calendars are NOT checked
Internet Accounts shows Calendars as syncing

Documents and Data not accessible in iCloud: SOLVED!

I've posted this one more to advise on a potentially very frustrating problem, which has taken me a while to resolve;
Just a couple of weeks ago, my iMac (running fully up to date Mavericks and all the associated iApps) started failing to access data and documents stored on my iCloud. If I open any application that has capability of using iCloud storage, I get the default open document/file window with the 'on my mac' pane opening up just fine. If I select the 'iCloud' pane what I get is a repeat of the 'on my mac' pane, but with the sidebar removed. No dark grey iCloud pane, nothing. Equally, I was unable to save or move any documents to the cloud. I could access everything as normal via my other devices, but could not get the iCloud access working on my Mac. This may affect others out there, hence this post.
After a week or two of to-ing and fro-ing with Apple Support and getting nowhere, they have suggested escalating this up to the software engineering tech guys in Cupertino. We tried signing in and out of iCloud, deleting the iCloud files in the ~/Library/Application Support, with no joy. Every time, the same issue... we had established that it must be something to do with the user settings, because if I logged in from a different account, I had normal iCloud access.
HOWEVER...
I have solved it, by doing the following:
Setting up a new user account with Admin rights;
Deleting the old user account, but keeping the original HOME folder;
Rebuilding the home folder in the new account, following this advice: http://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/how-to-rebuild-a-user-account-in-os-x/
Going into iCloud from Safari, and do a reset of iCloud, following this advice: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5824
Rebooting all computers and devices that use this iCloud account
And LO! it works again!
I hope that this works for anyone else who encounters this problem. I have no idea why it worked, but it did!
Cheers,
Simon

Thanks for taking the time to share your solution.

Hi
Just a thought, but what broswer are you and your friend using? Are they different by any chance?
There is an inconsistency between browsers and java, and unfortunately it can result in the error you saw.
Basically, bog standard Internet Explorer uses its own JVM, whereas Netscape, Mozilla, Opera etc tend to use the java plug-in. To make matters worse, if you install the plug-in on a machine that has Internet Explorer installed, it over-rules the Microsoft version to make itself the default (but this can be undone by looking in the Options menu for Java-plugin and un-ticking the box). Give that a try first.
Another cause that I have encountered was when using NT on a network, which had been configured not to accept Java Applets at all! Are you on such a network, or stand alone?
Hope that helps.

I can not log into iCloud

Please help - I've upgraded to ML 10.8 (and also 10.8.1) and i can not log into icloud.
I get an error saying "You can not log in at this time". I have no hair left on my head because I've pulled it all out!
Now, there are many published fixes for this, but NONE work. I've tried everything I can find:
Yes, I have an AU and US apple ID, and both dont work
I installed ML from a fresh disk wipe + install. No baggage from previous OS's.
Everything is standard, no tricky fixes or apps
No Little snitch installed
Have deleted the ~/Library/App Support/iCloud folder
Have deleted any preference files
Have opened up the permissions on the ~/Library/Caches/iCloud folder
Have reset keychain
Have deleted all references of any @me or @apple accounts
Have re-installed the ML OS from a DIFFERENT bootable USB stick
No proxies, SOCKS, or mods to network
Plain old home WIFI network, never had a problem
Have icloud successfully set up at work (QC 2.8GHZ Mac Pro 2010), on my iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro - Zero issues
The mac having problems is a 2008 iMac, Core2Duo 2.8ghz Intel w 4gb 1067mhz ram) - Runs well, use for design.
Is it a problem with the iCloudHelper process not having sufficient permission to write to the iCloud user DB? or the Accounts folder?
Have looked into console, and when I try and log into iCloud, I get these three errors. Same every time, no matter which apple ID account you use:
1: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[352]) AOSKC ([email protected]): Failed to store key, couldn't add kc item, error 100013 (service=iCloud, dsid=146089737)
2: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[352]) AOSKC ([email protected]): Failed to store account info key (dsid=146089737).
3: AOSKit ERROR: (System Preferences[352]) Failed to store account info for appleID=[email protected]
Please help! Is this an incompatibiloty with the iMac problem, or a ML problem?
Much appreciated
Rick

Where EXACTLY are you trying to log in to it?
Through your web browser at iCloud.com?
Or through the iCloud system preferences pane on your Mac?

If you bought the machine new yourself, and did not enter a password when configuring it, leave the field blank.
If you bought it used, then you need to reset the password, as described here:
Apple Article to reset the password

I have (sorry forgot to add that). I was switched around and finally I was told I would be put through to a supervisor but after being on hold for about 10 minutes the phone went dead, I did not lose connection so I do not know if I was hung up on or there was some technical difficulty. I called again yesterday and did in fact speak with a supervisor for Account Security but he told me he did not know why it was happening and put me through to a different number but that ended up not being any helpful either. That's when I decided to give it a shot on here!
