HT4898 why are mail accounts no longer available with migration to  icloud

I can't get my macbook to update past OS X 10.5.8 and don't understand why so I have only updated my mail to update to icloud however when I read the detail it says mail accounts won't update to icloud.  I guess there are two questions here I don't understand what to do about either issue the inability to update to a high enough version to go to icloud and why the mail account won't update

If you have chosen the 'email only' option nothing will happen until the end of June. At that point your email will be migrated to the iCloud server and will of course not be accessible at the MobileMe server settings.
As Apple say, you can then access it at http://icloud.com - what they don't say is that you can manually set the Mail application up to access it -
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

  • Why are certain movies no longer available?

    My husband purchased Bicentennial Man on iTunes a few years ago and after Robin Williams death I wanted to purchase the movie for my iPad. After a frustrating search I see it is no longer available in the U.S. iTunes Store. I want to know why. Also, Aladddin isn't available either but you can get it on the European iTunes Store.

    The owners of the distribution rights for the films make that decision. it's not up to Apple. Disney is notorious for this. They will make films available only for a limited time to drive sales.
    Films may also be removed for periods of time if someone like HBO gets exclusive rights to air them for a period of time.

    So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
    If so, you can't.
    You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

  • Why are my apps no longer on my iPad?

    Why are my apps no longer on my iPad after downloading latest iTunes and installing?

    Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
    If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
    If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads.

    Lord K.  Thank you. Yes I am within the 90 time period, however I travel Intertionally and I can not receive not make a call to Apple.

I need to go back to my old computer which I don't have with me.  My messages were in folders for a lawsuit.  It is going to take an incredible amount of work for me to, you have no Idea.  We are talking thousands of pages!  I the defendent will have them during discovery so I am not so worried.  However, I can not bring them to him on a Flashdrive when I meet with him without an extraordinary amount of presssure on my part.  THis is not just some little email issue. This is suing EXPEDIA and Tripadviosr.com

  • How do I add a new Mail account on my iPad with IOS 6.0.1?

    How do I add a new Mail account on my iPad with IOS 6.0.1?

    You should not need to enter anything. the iCloud service is one of the  preconfigured options.
    Just choose the iCloud type from the Add new Mail screen, and enter your details in the next screen.
    If you don't have the iCloud option, but instead have the mobileMe option then you will need to update your iOS.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    Have tried the following:

    Removed all mail accounts from Outlook 2013 except MS account
    Confirmed Outlook was chosen for  “Always uses this profile” under Control Panel – Mail (MicroSoft Outlook 2013) – show profiles
    Still get the same error when trying to enable the option under iCloud 3.0 Control Panel
    PC is running Windows 8.1 (64 bit)
    Outlook 2013 was just installed on the PC as part of new Office 2013 installation

    Two more things:
    First, sorry for the bad spelling, grammar, and all of that. English isn't my first language and I'm so frustrated at this point I'm not paying any attention to it. Sorry!
    Second, after trying to repair again the icloud 3.0 through the Control Panel of Windows, guess what? It made Offce to crash again! Now I will have to install it again.
