HT5225 moving to iCloud?

I have an iPhone and iPad which do meet the requirements for iCloud, but my MacBook Pro and iMac are do not. I cannot seem to upgrade them to Lion. What do I do?

Your signature says you have 10.5.8 - is this correct? (If not please amend it to prevent confusion).
You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with 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 to access iCloud email; the process is described here:

None of iCloud's other facilities, including syncing calendars and contacts will work.

Cannot send email from mail after moving to iCloud

I have just moved to iCloud and now I cannot send email but can still receive email

Hi Judy,
Problem solved.
Go into Mail/Acounts and delete you iCloud account.
Now add a new account and type in your details for MobileMe/iCloud.
It should now work. O noticed the default server name is different.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
Charlie

After moving to iCloud I can only get my email through the cloud, no new emails are making it to my home computer. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix this issue?

Wrong reply-to address sent from iPhone mail after moving to iCloud

I had this strange experience that shortly after moving to iCloud, one of my email accounts got mixed up with the reply to address.
I use both accounts:
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
When I reply to a message received in my xs4all account and send a reply (visually is in the mail the field From: [email protected]), the receiver will get a mail with reply address [email protected]
So I noticed that all replies were sent to my gmail account.
Has anyone else the same?

Try SETTINGS, ICLOUD, click ACCOUNT field and scroll down to MAIL. Click on MAIL field. Here you can click on EMAIL field and a new screen of choices for default account comes up. Choose your default account here. Go back a page and you see ALLOW SENDING FROM and a list of allowed addresses to pick. Choose all of the ones you'd like to be able to use. HOPE THAT HELPS YOU. Click DONE when you finish. Tami

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

Two iPhone same AppleiD moving to iCloud using different account. What happens to the app ?

Here is the scenario.
Me and my wife have two different iphone with the same AppleiD. She has her own mail, her music playlist, her photoalbum and of course we share some of the apps bought with my AppleiD.
Now that we are moving to iCloud I was wondering if she can keep the apps or she has to buy them again.

you can use the same apple id with DIFFERENT EMAILS for find my friends. That said, i just set my wife up with a brand new apple id that *is* her email address to make it easy for friends to find HER.
Then i erased my primary email from my iTunes purchase apple id and ADDED it to my @me.com apple id so i ca have MY normal email address work with find my friends.
now i can have my NON email apple-id work for iTunes purchases and i don't have to ADD yet one MORE apple id (i'm already at the MAX of FIVE allowed to sync to an iDevice!)
so my email address: [email protected] is attached to my [email protected] apple id, and friends can request and it works great. I use the [email protected] for signing on on *MY* phone *and* my wife's phone for iCloud (so our calendars and contacts are shared) then my WIFE is signed into find my friends with [email protected]
I've had a non-email apple id since apple id existed. i've changed my email about half a dozen times since that time, and even so, accidentally purchased a few things with OTHER apple id's (that are now defunct emails); very moronic to use a non-apple-controlled email address as a user id! yeesh that was dumb.

Duplicated events on iCal after moving to iCloud

Hi, i just updated mi iphone 4 to iOS5, then updated iTunes, then updated OSX Lion to 10.7.2, then moved to icloud...
Everything seems to be ok, but there's a problem: my events duplicated on iCal in my macbookpro...
Every input has cloned itself!
But, when checking on icloud and on my iphone, no duplicates!
So... what should i do?, 'cause if i delete a duplicated event from iCal in my computer, leaving only one, the event erases at all in iCloud and in my iPhone...
Weird.
Any suggestions?
I appreciate your time, thank you!

Hi Jorge. I just went through this entire process. I was able to rid myself of duplicates, however, I am still trying to figure out how to match a hard copy to my Mac without creating duplicates.
- Make sure you have your events on the Mac
- Go to iCloud on phone and turn off iCloud on everything (for now). It will tell you it will delete everything off iCloud (this is fine if you have everything you need on your Mac).
- Go into iTunes on Mac and "turn of Sync with this iPhone over Wi-fi" & check "back up to this computer"
-Go to info tab in iTunes on Mac. Check sync "contacts" & sync "calendars"
- While you are in the info tab also check "calendars" & "contacts" in the Replace Information on This iPhone section under Advanced.
- Synch
- If everything matches up properly go back to iPhone and turn iCloud back on for what you want
- Go to iCal on Mac and in the top left hand corner there is a "calendar" button that when you click it, it shows calendars for "On my Mac" and "iCloud".
- You can delete the "On my Mac" calendars to rid yourself of the duplicates.
***This is how I did it. You may be able to just delete the "On my Mac" calendars but I am not sure if that will take them off of iCloud and your iPhone. You can give it a try first as it may be less time consuming.
So, my issue is still trying to figure out how to keep matching calendars as a backup on Mac without the duplicates. Any takers?

ICal issues since moving to iCloud

I have had nothing but problems with my calendar since moving to iCloud. I have 2 desktops, both at Lion; a MBP at Lion; an iPad and an iPhone, both at iOS 5.x. Items added seem to disappear. On the laptop and desktops, even if I unclick the "on my mac" they continue to display, and are clicked automatically. Isn't the idea to get everything up on iCloud, and not on my mac at all?
Part of the frustration may be more associated with iCal itself. The "create quick event" was the worst change to this app that has ever been implemented, and I've been using iCal and a .mac account since they were first offered.
In iCal prefs, I only have 2 accounts- the work Exchange acct and my iCloud acct.and in the iCloud control panel, Calendars are checked. What am I missing?
Thx,

I think each member of the family Pack needs to move their account to iCloud. Screenshot from Here

I just moved to iCloud and now my email is not working on my non compatible MacBook, but all other devices seem to be working.

I have several Apple products, some eligible for iCloud and some not. I was using MobileMe and elected to keep my email address after June 30. I moved to iCloud and everything seems to be working except for my MacBook that couldn't be upgraded to Lion so not eligible for iCloud. Now my email doesn't work on that machine. What's wrong?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
