I moved from MobileMe to iCloud but it stopped my mail on my 3g iPhone How do I work around that until I can buy newer iPhone that runs iCloud?

When I moved my MobileMe account to iCloud on my MBP I knew my iPhone 3G was limited but I didn't think it would be cut off from the icloud services. I still have a GMail account come through on it ok but I really would like my .Mac email to work on it. I am not quite ready to upgrade to 4S (had thought to wait for 5)
any workarounds out there??

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.

  • I moved from mobileme to icloud yesterday.  events i entered today on my iphone synced to icloud, but not ical on my mac?

    Yesterday I moved from MobileMe to iCloud.  Everything moved.  Today I entered new events on my iPhone and they synced to iCloud, but not to iCal on my MacBook.  Any thoughts as to why?

    I am using iCloud, been on it for weeks and the calendars and contacts work for me but they don't work for my wife's profile.  I am running 10.7.2 on our MacBook and our iMac desktop.  We have a lot of devices and I'm struggling to get them all on the same page.  We each have our own iPhones and we share an iPad, so that's five total devices I'm trying to sync via iCloud. 
    Specifically, she updates contacts on iPhone and they never sync with desktop... its been weeks and they still haven't synced.  when I go to iTunes the options are the same as I did for my profile...
    any ideas?

  • TS4002 After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

    After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Your address book should have migrated along with your move. If it hasn't go to groups, in "on my mac" group select all the contacts that appear on the right-hand side and drag them to your "iCloud" group.
    Once you have done this you can then delete the contacts from your "on my mac" group.

  • 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.

  • Moving from MobileMe to iCloud

    I've just ordered the new 3rd generation iPad and I'm looking ahead to when I will be making the move from MobileMe to iCloud. I have over 5GB of emails and attachments accumulated in folders in the mail.app on my Macbook, which is too old to run OS X 10.7. Are all those old emails going to be moved to iCloud, or just new ones?
    Thanks.
    RB

    Roger,
    Thanks for the reply. I think you have essentially answered my question, although indirectly.  The emails I was concerned about are no longer on the server, due to having been moved out of the INBOX into other folders. So, if I am understanding correctly the only mail that will get moved to iCloud will be those messages that are still on the mobileme server at the time I initiate the change to iCloud.
    From that point on, all new messages (coming via the server) will be pushed to all of my iCloud-able devices (and in a diminished capacity to my Snow Leopard-bound MacBook once I set that up), and all my old messages will reside only on my MacBook.
    I appreciate your help!

  • Since moving from MobileMe to iCloud I can't seem to publish the update done on iWeb.

    Does anyone know how I could figure out a way to publish my updates on iweb since moving from mobileme (the host) to icloud?
    Thank you,

    Do this:
    go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
    login with a bogus username and password like "Ying" and "Yang". This clears the caches.
    login with your correct username and password.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • HT204150 since moving from mobileme to icloud my calendar and contacts do not sync from my iphone: what should I do

    my calendars and contacts do not sync since moving from mobile me to icloud. what should i do

    After that if I go to my calendar on my macair to try and sync to my Imac, by clicking the sync button on the top bar (like I used to with mobile me) I get a drop down menu that says
    1.Time Machine not configured (in shading)
    2. Browse other backup discs (in bold)
    3.Open Time Machine preferences (in bold)
    That's where you're going wrong. Firstly the syncing method that MobileMe used, which places the icon in the menu bar, is quite different from the iCloud method and is irrelevant. Secondly, you're confusing the Time Machine icon with it.
    On this Mac you need to set up in System Preferences>iCloud in the same way, then the syncing is automatic. In iCal on both machines you should see in the Calendar list your calendars listed unrer 'iCloud', and your calendars should be visible at http://icloud.com (and choose Calendar in the welcome screen).
    If they aren't visible online, go to http://me.com/calendar - you should not be able to see them there. If you can, you haven't migrated.

  • ICal does not display iCloud calendar after moving from MobileMe to iCloud

    I moved MobileMe to iCloud. Everything but iCal made the move fine. My iCal app does not show iCloud nor am I able to create that as a new account. My MobileMe calendar is displayed but gets an error message that it cannot log on to my calendar because the password is wrong at MobileMe. Settings shows I am logged in to MobileMe and that it has moved to iCloud.

    I'm running 10.7.2 and still my iCal does not show in iCloud.  System preferences>iCloud just keeps giving me the same advertising window for iCloud with a button to "Move to iCloud."  This takes me to an endlessly same windo of find my phone.  Argh.  Help!

  • Moving from mobileme to icloud has made things not work properly

    I have pretty much all things Apple, at least pretty close to it. Iphone, Ipad, Macbook Pro, and IMac. Things were all working great until I did the move to Icloud. Now my calendars will only update on the Iphone and Ipad, but not on the Macbook or the IMac. We use Time Capsule for wireless routing and had hoped it would all work together.
    Not to mention. I was using MobileMe to host my website, is there going to be a replacement for this? Or where do you recommend doing this at?

    Greetings Deanna,
    Questions:
    What version of the Mac OS is running on the Macbook Pro and iMac?  (Apple > About this Mac).
    Make sure you are running Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later.  If you have an earlier OS (like 10.6) you will need to purchase and install 10.7 as it is a requirement for iCloud (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436).
    If you are already running Mac OS X 10.7.3 or later on both your Macs then follow the steps for troubleshooting iCal in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
    If after following all the steps in the iCal section of the article, calendars still do not sync, let us know.
    Apple hasn't announced any replacement for the web hosting portion of MobileMe (http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html).  Given the massive number of web hosting services out there, you have many choices.  Choosing one which says they are Mac compatible is handy (not because it matters all that much from a publishing perspective, but if you have to call them for support, its nice if they have an idea of how a Mac works).
    Examples:

    Hope that helps!

  • Since moving from MobileMe to iCloud my ical

    Hi.
    Since moving from Mobile-me to iCloud nothing is syncing: iCal, contacts etc. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I have the exact same problem but only with iCal. Contacts and reminders seem to be there.  When I try troubleshooting and go to my MacBook Apple>Preferences>iCloud, I keep getting the same screen advertising iCloud and telling me to use it I should "Move to iCloud."  Each time I do that, in just goes into an endless loop of Find my Phone.  WTH?  Help!

  • HT4597 how do I know whether I have successfully moved from MobileMe to iCloud?

    I followed directions for moving from mobile me to icloud, but can't figure out a way to verify that the move is complete.  Does anyone know how to verify this?
    Thank you.

    Check whether your mail is visible at http://me.com or at http://icloud.com . If the former, you haven't migrated successfully and should go to http://me.com/move and follow the instructions, logging in with your @me.com address (not your iTunes ID if this is different).
    If your mail appears at http://icloud.com you have migrated and need to sign in and enable Mail in System Preferences>iCloud (Lion 10.7.2 required).

  • Email not accessible after moving from mobileme to icloud

    I moved my mobileme account to icloud. When I click "email" in iCloud, it asks me to setup an me.com email address in my iOS. When I try that in icloud settings in my iphone, it says my address is occupied. So I end of up losing access to my @me.com email access. How can I get it back?

    I'm running 10.7.2 and still my iCal does not show in iCloud.  System preferences>iCloud just keeps giving me the same advertising window for iCloud with a button to "Move to iCloud."  This takes me to an endlessly same windo of find my phone.  Argh.  Help!

  • I moved from MobileMe to iCloud and all my contacts are lost! The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

    The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

    that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
    set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
    Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.
