I'm a MobileMe account holder. Having switched to iCloud, when creating new contacts in a specific group on my Mac, the new contact only appear in the "All Contacts" group. Help.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hello Jim,
It took forever. With MobileMe, it was immediate.
Up in the cloud the clocks seem to tick differently and time is relative, so we will just have to learn to be patient ...
To be serious, the first iCloud experiences seem to be different on the different continents, depending on the time zone you are in. In Europe there does not seem to be so much traffic up in the Cloud during day time  as in the states,

  • MobileMe account split from AppleID during iCloud transition

    I previously had an AppleID account under a non-Apple email address. Let's call it [email protected] I use this account for my iTunes transactions, Mac support, etc. It also paid for me MobileMe account, which we'll [email protected]
    When I upgraded the [email protected] account to iCloud, somehow it got disconnected from the [email protected] AppleId and now I have two AppleIDs. This isn't particularly the end of the world, but is there a way to merge them? And, if there's not, how do I transition all of the digital assets associated with each account from one account to another?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, OSX 10.6.8 will not support iCloud. You can use the mail address from the iCloud account with Snow Leopard bot not the rest of the iCloud features. You can access then via the web browser though at iCloud.com.
    To set up iCloud mail.
    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.

  • HT5132 I have deactivated my mobile me, I've switched to iCloud. I have no albums to update but I still get the pop-up sign to move files, it locked up Aperture. I had to restore my Aperture files, I've restarted and it still wants me to move files.

    I have deactivated my mobile me, switched to iCloud. I have no albums to update but I still get the pop-up sign to move files, it locked up Aperture. I had to restore my Aperture files, I've restarted and it still wants me to move files. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Quit - or force quit - Aperture, if it is still trying to transfer MObile Me content.
    Then relaunch. When the "Mobile Me has ended" panel appears press the "Learn More" button, not the "o.k." button.
    Then you should be able to open the Preferences in Aperture and and open the "Web" panel. Remove "Mobile Me" from the Accounts pane.
    Then also open the System preferences > Mobile Me panel and check if you are still signed into Mobile Me.
    If this does not work, try to disconnect from the Internet before you launch Aperture again.

  • I had a mobileme account and I transitioned to icloud.

    I have been able to operate icloud on my pro, ipad and iphone; but the mobileme account keeps showing up on my imac. And I can't access with my icloud user and password.
    I tried to delete it from mail, contacts and calendar: but it is still part of settings. And my icloud username and password doesn't give me access.

    What I ended up having to do was delete my subscription calendars and resubscribe to them and now they're showing up.  Glad it was that type of calendar where I could easily delete it and reinstall it. Not sure what someone does if it's their personal calendar.
    This iCloud approach is terrific. When it works. And when it doesn't, it's a really frustrating thing and there's little support to help us figure out how to troubleshoot it.

  • Which mobileme account do I upgrade to iCloud first? Master or email only account.

    Hi. I have two mobileme accounts that have not been upgraded to iCloud yet.
    The first is the master account that I use and the second is an email only account that my father uses which is attached to my master account.
    I would like to upgrade both to iCloud but I have received conflicting advice from a couple of Apple stores I have sought advice from. (A couple of Apple employees said do the master account first, the other two said to do the email only first!).
    Does it matter in which order I upgrade these accounts to iCloud? ie. should or upgrade the Master account first or the email only account?
    Or doesn't it matter !!!
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The OP is asking about upgrading MobileMe, rather than the setting up of iCloud. Though it shouldn't make any difference, I would advise carrying out the migration of the email-only account first, then the master account.
    After that, whichever one it is that is wanted as the primary account needs to be entered in System Preferences>iCloud. And of course his father, who uses the email-only account, may have his own user account and can set up the ex-email-only account as a primary account there.

  • Our family has 1 Apple id. My sons received many itunes gift cards. Can I set up sub-accounts under my id? If I create new ids, will they lose access to the content purchased under wmy id?

    Our family has 1 Apple id with 2 itouches, 1 ipad and 1 iphone.  My sons received several itunes gift cards. Can I set up sub-accounts under my id and deposit their gift cards into them (like a bank account)? If I can't, it seems that I will have to keep track of each of their purchases until they reach the limit of their gift cards, before they go over.  This makes no sense.  If I have to create new ids, will they lose access to all the content purchased under my id?

    - You can't create subaccounts.
    - You can create new account(s). The media on the iPod is still usable. It does create more work when updating apps since yo have to sign into the account that purchased them to update them. If you have apps purchased from more than one account that need update you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased with one account.
    - To change accounts for purchasing go to Settings> Store (or Settings.iTunes and App store depending upon the iOS) and sign out and sign in with different account.

  • I switched to iCloud today and my contacts from Mobil me did not transfere to I Cloud can't get back into Mobil me to retrive them how do I get them?

    Switched to iCloud from Mobil Me today and my contacts did not transfere over I want my contacts what do I do?

    According to the trms of the iTunes and app stores - all sales are final. but that doe not mean that you can't try anyway. People ask for refunds all the time. Use the Express Lane email to contact iTunes.

    You can still download the other movies in iTunes on your computer. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. You can download them in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad later. When you are done watching the first movie, you can transfer it into iTunes on your computer, delete it from the iPad and you will have the room for another movie on the device. To transfer the movie when you are done with it, you can use the transfer purchases feature.
    Transfer purchases.

    If the photos that you lost were photos that you took with the iPad, they should be in your iPad backup - if you sync with iTunes or if you backup with iCloud.

  • Gmail account not available when creating new event

    Good evening all,
    I have not seen this issue reported yet, so I thought I would throw it out there in case someone else has encountered it.
    I set up my GMail account (email, contacts and calendar) and am able to get my events via CalDAV.  I can also set it as the default calendar when creating events.  However, when I actually open the calendar to create an event, when I first touch the calendar it shows as the colour of my Gmail calendar, second touch opens the edit screen and my Gmail account is not there.  If I save the event, it gets added to the local calendar.
    I have 3 calendars outside of the local calendar - a work one via ActiveSync, my Gmail one and another Gmail one added as CalDAV which is my wife's Gmail calendar - this one shows as available in the drop down, but not my Gmail one.  The descriptions are unique.
    I did have to remove my Gmail calendar due to the "unable to authenticate" issue that others noted, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.  As I stated, it is pulling things down, is available to set as default, but no created events can be associated with it.
    -m

    Hello ironmike and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    To make sure I understand the issue, you removed your Gmail account from your device as were getting an error "Unable to Authenticate". But, when you go to your Calendar and tap on an entry, it shows the colour of your Gmail account and when you go to edit the appointment, it uses the Local calendar to save the appointment and not Gmail? 
    Thanks!

  • Safari App missing when creating new accounts

    When I create new Standard acccounts, the Apple default Apps show up in the dock, except for Safari which is a gray question mark. If I go to the application folder I can start Safari with no issues. Why is Safari not appearing on the dock for new accounts? I've tried created several new accounts and there is the same issue. Any ideas?

    Sounds like a screwed up LaunchServices database. Easiest thing to do is OPTION-drag the ? icon off the dock and then drag the Safari icon back into the same place. If you want to reset the LS database, run this command in the Terminal.app (all one line) and restart.

  • Consolidate multiple mobileme accounts over as to 1 iCloud accountt

    I wanted to see if anyone have a similar issue..
    Over the many purchases, we ended up with multple me accounts and the compounding issue we had with iTunes accounts (had to create multiple iTunes\App Store accounts has left us scratching our heads and wondering if this was not possible desite Apple store guidance.....Any assistance would be welcomed..
    Ideally, we could have a master account that managed services for the following devices:
    (1) iMac
    (2) Macbook Pro
    (1) Macbook
    (2) iPad
    (5) iPhone
    We could like to have a main calendar that could push out to all devices and also allow for multiple users to create additional shared calendars. This would include Outlook, 1Cal, Google (both personal & Google Apps users)
    Any thoughts to solve this seemily simple effort?
    Appreciated
    Chuck

    Macworld has a workaround for this that seems to work ok:

    On getting the deleted mail accounts to sync back from iTunes, I had to de-select them first, and then re-select to get them to show up afterwards, but at least I can upload to the correct account now.

  • My wife and I were sharing the same iCloud account. we now have separate iCloud accounts, I've switched over iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, but I can still see her old iCloud Tabs that were in her iPhone before we switched iCloud accounts. How can i fix this

    I have also turned off iCloud on my iMac, donme complete resets with clean fresh restores on my iPhone and iPad but her old iCloud tabs are still there?

    THis is an example. It's available with iOS 6.x and Moountain Lion. It's the iCloud icon that you see in the Safari toolbar.
    It allows you to view any page that's open on any of the devices using the same iCloud ID

  • How does an account holder return their old phone when they edged up through the Verizon Edge Program? I have wasted way too much of my time trying to do this and am certainly disgusted with Verizon's communication and website for this.

    I have been searching this helpless website for 3 nights after work trying to figure out how to get my old phone back to "WHEREVER" it needs to go. I am soo frustrated, I'm ready to throw this phone away and forget it. I've read through posts and tried the links left to only be taken where I've already been, with NO LUCK AT ALL. I've even called verizon myself to get, yet again, NO HELP!! Can anyone give me the real answer as to what to do.???
    I've got the box I received my new phone in, with the plastic bag for the old phone and some papers the clearly read, "Keep this for your records" nothing that says RETURN LABEL. Don't have an address, either!

    This is the same response other community users have gotten, there is not option to print a label. This is also where li was told to go look for the receipt when I card
    Verizon. THERE IS NOTHING THERE TO PRINT. I've tried to include a link to that page, so you can view yourself,  but I'm thinking it won't post in this community discussion.
    So, with this, I'm still stuck in the same situation... HOW DO I RETURN THIS PHONE? WHY CANT VERIZON EMAIL ME A LABEL DIRECTLY???

  • Mail 2.1.3 (753.1/753) locks up when creating new account window

    Apple Mail lets you create a new blank account window in
    Mail -> Preferences... -> Accounts
    by holding the [alt] key and clicking [+].
    Creating a new, blank account window lets you avoid using the annoying "wizard" that launches if you simply click the [+]. (The wizard spends a long time testing your entries so, if you are not sure whether your username is supposed to be in the format "martin" or "[email protected]" or "martin+somewhere.com" or "martin%somewhere.com", you can spend a long time watching that wheel spinning!)
    However, it has always been a little "flakey" and now, with version 2.1.3 (753.1/753), it causes Mail to "lock up" (become unresponsive to mouse clicks) and requires a forced quit.
    I've tested this on three completely different G4 Macs (running 10.4.11) and get the same symptoms with each. I have also tried Mail 2.1 (752/752.2) on a G4/1.2GHz iBook and that works fine. So my guess is that the later update broke it.

    Yes, Leopard is fine. The problem lies with Tiger and Mail Mail 2.1 (752/752.2)
    I wasn't expecting a reply - I've tested this on 3 separate Macs. I'm convinced it's a bug in this version only.

  • HT2513 Older iCal calendars (used with MobileMe) now won't sync with iCloud without creating duplicates. How do I sync to my other devices without iCloud?

    I've been using iCal for years for my business and have over 15 calendars on it (to color coordinate projects) and used to sync them with MobileMe.  Now that I've upgraded my mac and have Mountain Lion and can only use iCloud to sync Address Book, Notes etc - iCloud doesnt even acknowledge my 15+ calendars unless they are DUPLICATED.
    I've turned OFF iCloud and tried to sync via iTunes telling it to sync to iphone/ipad from "Calendar on this Mac" - but it sees nothing.  My device Calendars are blank (iCloud off on them too).
    HELP!!!

    I share a similar situation (usb iTunes sync with Outlook with my corporate laptop; personal calendar on icloud).
    With IOS7, at first, iTunes/Windows does not propose Outlook sync anymore. I need to switch off calendar from iTunes to enable usual usb sync with Outlook. I had to sync it twice while checking "replace iphone data" to get a stable behaviour (like before) IOS7.When I try to re-enable icloud calendars, it proposes me to merge them...
    I did not test merging so far...
    IOS7 and iTunes 11.1 are not completely polished ;-)

  • $1 charged when create new itune Account, not refunded

    Hi,
    I have created a apple Itune Id for purchaging the store items. At the time of creating Apple iTune account i paid $1 (that is refunded Please correct if i am wrong).
    But after a month i have not received this money back in to my account.

    Each time that you add or change credit card details on your account then you will receive a temporary store holding charge to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - and yes, it should disappear off your account within a few days or so (it varies by bank) of it being applied (though each time that you change your or the card details on your account it might be applied again) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    You could contact your card issuer to ask why it's still on there (it's only a temporary authorisation charge so your card issuer should automatically remove it), and/or contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
