I just upgraded my iMac to the lion and set up the iCloud. I wanted to keep my old email account. How do I get it back.

I lost my old email address when I signed up for iCloud. Can I get it back and use it as my primary email?

Was your old email address a MobileMe @me.com or @mac.com one?

Hotmail, but i dont feel it has to do with all their issues they've been having. My wife's Iphone has the page i'm missing and she also has hotmail. I believe it is an In/out going server info or SMTP problem but phone doesn't dispay this info. Thanks for your help by the way.

No, if you are using the Music app you are playing them on your iPhone.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard then Lion and the computer shut down after installation.
Now when it starts up it gets as far as the apple icon and then shuts down again
whenever I turn it on it loads that far and then closes.
HELP!

Restore your bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup of Snow Leopard, launch Disk Utility from the install disc, repair the boot volume, and reinstall Lion.

I just upgraded to mountain lion and didn't realize that my quicken wasn't going to work. How do I get that information back?

I just upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and didn't realize that my Quicken wasn't going to work on it. Now what do I do? How can I get my info off of here to start with something new? Anyone have any ideas? That was the one thing I didn't backup before I did the upgrade. Grrr.....

mende1 is right, however, you have a chance of recovering your files.
Open a new Finder window.
Press COMMAND+G
Type the following in the box: /Library/Application Support/Quicken
Remember, I don't use Quicken, so that folder may not exist.
If you really need it though, you could downgrade back to Lion (or whatever you were on before).
Sorry for the trouble you are having.

Just upgraded my Mac laptop to Lion to take advantage of iCloud, spent hours trying to get iCloud to work, no happy

Just upgraded my Mac laptop to Lion to take advantage of iCloud, spent hours trying to get iCloud to work, not happy, tried everything still does not work, this is the first time i have been defeated.

The initial upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion is 10.7.1. Have you done the system update to 10.7.2 already?
And since there isn't any general overview of what you've tried, see if anything at this site will help" http://help.apple.com/icloud/index.html#

I upgraded my imac to Mountain Lion and my iMac has been painfully slow ever since. Any ideas what might be wrong and how to fix it?

I upgraded my iMac to Mountain Lion and it has been painfully slow ever since. Any ideas on what might be happening and how to fix it?

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the slowdown.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Correct. Applications designed to run on the old PPC Macs (which Apple stopped making in 2005) cannot run on Mountain Lion.
You need to update your printer driver:

Just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and Intel Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and Quicktime plays m4v files with stuttering audio

I just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and 3.33 Ghz Intel Core Duo Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. I now have Quicktime 10.3 which plays m4v files with stuttering audio. This is a nightmare as I use Quicktime a lot in my research. I have seen similar threads but so far only reporting the problem. For now I have installed Quicktime Player 10.7 (which appears in utilities, leaving Quicktime 10.3 in the main applications list) which plays the same videos with no problem, but it would be good to know if anyone has managed to find a workaround at all, or know if Apple have plans to do anything about it?

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.

I just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?

I have an iphone and just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?? It's weird because it said with the upgrade your photos would be kept, but apps would be erased, yet my apps synced over and not my pictures...

I have EXACTLY the same issue. I would appreciate the response also. Was not prepared for this.

I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and would like to turn off sending crash data to App developers. How do I do this?

I just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.1 and would like to turn off sending crash data to App developers. How do I do this?

Hello prlipton,
If you want to stop sending reports to Apple and developers when apps crash, then go to System Preferences, click on Security & Privacy and click on Privacy. You will then see on the left side of the window an section for Diagnostics & Usage with the option to turn off sending crash data to app developers. Take a look at the article below for more information.
