Question

I moved my mobile me account to the cloud but now the iPhone 3G cant get my mobile me mail. How do I either revert back to standard mobile me or is there a way to get my mobile me account working on the iphone 3G

Answer 1

To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
You should create new iCloud accounts for the rest of the family so that you can keep your personal data separate, but you must continue to use the account you are using for iTunes in use by all of you, otherwise you will lose access to any content already purchased under that account.
