HT4929 help needed - from mobileme to icloud with pc plus smartphone but no i-products

I don't use an iphone or i anything else but have a mobileme mail account which I want to transfer to icloud - I have a pc which will need the icloud "adaptor" - what do I do next and what will I be able to use with my existing smartphone?

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.

Help changing from MobileMe to iCloud

I have a MobileMe account which synchs my contacts & calendars etc but I use a different email address for my iTunes account. When I go to transfer to iCloud & sign in using my MobileMe account & do the transfer how will this effect my iTunes with all my songs & apps which is set up using a different account than my MobileMe email address.
If someone can confirm that would be great.

Thanks
I have a PC (Windows 7)
Not sure when mobile me changed, but it was this weekend that my storage etc. lapsed (I have paid to keep storage with icloud). So i assume this has something to with it stopping.

Switching multiple users from mobileme to icloud? do both need to switch at once?

When switvhing from mobileme to icloud with two users on one account, do they both need to switvh at once or can they be done independently?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean a single MobileMe account, with two people sharing it, then yes they both need to start using iCloud at the same time.
If however you mean two people using a family MobileMe account, then no, they can migrate at different times.

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.

Upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud - do I need to change from Mac OS X 10.6.8?

Do I need to change from mac os x 10.6.8 to upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud?

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

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.

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.

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.

Update: I was able to get a genius appt. and they helped set it to work with Caldev etc for ical and same with mail; contacts etc.

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 :]

Download from MobileMe to iCloud CONFUSION.

What exactly is the correct procedure on how to download photos and files from MobileMe (to iCloud)?
Does this mean something needs to be done with iPhoto files? or is it automatic once you sign on to iCloud? (usually the Mac directions are so clear...I am not sure what is going on here at all)
Additionally, if iPhoto files vary on multiple devices, how do ya be sure all photos are saved/downloaded or whatever?
Tx!!!

As I mentioned in your other post, you cannot upload photos to iCloud. You will need to find somewhere else to put them.

Problems switching from MobileMe to iCloud

I had a MobileMe account and now I need to switch to iCloud. I want to keep the prefix from my MobileMe email account. When I start the iCloud process and try to enter my prefix it claims it is already taken. And I think it is taken by me
I want to keep the rail prefix, how do I do this?

MobileMe closed a year ago and if you did not migrate to iCloud before the end of August last year you can no longer do so. This means your @me.com address is no longer active.
It's not clear whether you can open an iCloud with the same prefix, but you won't be able to get an @me.com address. Go to System Preferences>iCloud (Lioni 10.7.2 or higher required) and sign in with your @me.com address. As this is an Apple ID (even though it's not functioning) you may be able to do so and get an @icloud.com address, though it's possible you may have to choose one with different prefix. If it won't accept the @me.com address as an ID you will have to get another Apple ID and try with that.
If you do use the @me.com address as an ID you need to make sure you have an alternate contact address since if Apple try to contact you at it, it won't work.

Has anyone moved from mobileme to icloud?

Hi
Am a bit worried about mopving from mobileme to icloud as I dont want to lose my iweb site. Im aware that Ill have to change it by next June, but has anyone moved over and if so are your iweb sites still working in the meantime.?
many thanks

To add to Ethmoid's post: it is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords are not working now can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS

Help needed I updated my ipad2 with iOS5 but few of my dashbaords (HTML5) are not working now ,can any one let me know how to downgrade the OS as we have a meeting coming up .. its urgent

Downgrading the iOS is not supported. If you are using Safari this try clearing its cache via Settings > Safari.
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
