ICloud email (Migrated from .Mac MobileMe) no longer works on older device (iOS 4.2.1)

Hi there. Here is my question/concern.
I just migrated to iCloud from MobileMe (with the same Apple ID/email I have had since it was the free iTools.com years ago). Aside from the general up and down connectivity most people are experiencing (I am sure there is a heavy load - I know it will pass in a few days) I have encountered an unexpected side effect.
(Maybe I should have expected it, however)
My wife uses a 2nd generation iPod touch, which is still on 4.2.1 (as high as it will ever get). We got an alert on it about not being able to access our account on MobileMe (as it is now part of iCloud).
Is there any way to set it up manually to get at least the email ability back?

I've had this happen in the past due to a corrupted email or enclosure. You might want to try to log into your account from your desktop and delete mail from the server from the last few days, store locally on your desktop, and see if that clears it up though I get the impression you're talking about two different accounts so it's unlikely you would get the same email both places but that's usually been the issue for me.

HT3748 since upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Mail no longer works well w/exchange email; so, I have had to switch back to outlook. Now, how can I use outlook for mac's calendar and contacts with icloud?

Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?

Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do.

You must upgrade your OSX to Lion (10.7) minimum, Mavericks (10.9) preferably.

how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

Hi sparkie,
You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

Hope this helps!

How can I transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to another apple id?

It isn't possible. If you need to use a different iCloud account with a different ID as your primary iCloud account, you can still set up your other iCloud address as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with your ID and turning Mail to on. It will be fetch rather than push email, however, as push is only supported in the primary account.

Can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to Imac and what are the consequences

can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to iMac and what are the consequences

Les:
Here are some options:
• You could copy the data file to your laptop, work on it, and update the file on the iMac when you are back.
• You can use an application like Log Me In to access your home computer from your laptop.
• You can use DropBox. Install it on both computers, place your data file in a folder on the iMac, access it and work on it on your laptop and it will be automatically updated on your computer at home, even if it is not turned on, as soon as it is connected to the internet.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.

HT4889 Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it show up in the new Mac's computer folder. Help

Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it shows up in the new Mac's computer folder. It seems that Mac-mini Tiger is as it should be and the firewire cable is OK. Something about the Migration Assistant is being missed, but I have no idea what it is.

Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
IOFireWireAVC.kext
IOFireWireFamily.kext
IOFireWireIP.kext
IOFireWireSBP2.kext
I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

How i can receive icloud mail if my icloud email disabled from apple?

How i can receive icloud mail if my icloud email disabled from apple?
please help
thanks

If Apple has disabled or deactivated your e-mail account, then you will not be able to use it. Did Apple tell you why it was disabled?
If you don't know why Apple disabled it, you'll need to contact Apple Support to find out why.

Onboard Mac Lan no longer works after 1.9 update!!!

I was using bios v1.8 and both my Mac Lan and my Giga Lan were working perfectly fine. Now that i updated to v1.9 my Mac Lan no longer works but my Giga is fine!!!
My Mac Lan still gets an ip address from my router, but i cannot ping the router nor anyone else on the network and my internet does not work!! So right now im using my Giga lan but i want my other one working like it was.
I tried going BACK to v1.8 but it did not fix the problem, so i went back yet again to v1.9 and im still left with the same problem. Ive tired disabling it and re-enabling it in both the bios and in windows and still nothing. Ive also tried re-installing the drivers and that did not work either. I even ran a Winsock Fix but that didn't fix the problem either.
Is anyone else having this problem besides me? what can i do to fix it???

Download new bios and extract it to a directory where you can find it (root of c:\ if you are lazy like me). Run wminfo if you are paranoid about losing your mac address and copy it down for your nvidia adapter.
Restart windows in safe mode. Close every application down in task manager.
Run winflash as described below and CHECK ALL THE RIGHT BOXES TO UPDATE BOOTBLOCK AND TO CLEAR THY CMOS. Read Syar's description below as that is what I used:

No , floppy flash is not neccesary !
Can use
C:\Program Files\MSI\Live Update 3\FlashUty\Award
winflash.exe
Place checkmarks on bootblock/dmi area/update all/clear cmos
During flashing you see it will verify the programming of the bios chip .
And the good thing is unlike dos flash you can redo it if it fails , just by starting taskmanager and kill winflash.exe
and start over (as long as the machine isn't powered down or restarted).
I always say no after the flashing when asked to restart , exit the winflash utility , make a normal shutdown , turn off PSU for 10 seconds , then turn back
on , enter bios and load optimized default , followed by a boot to build/update dmi pool .
Kill all unwanted apps in the systemtray before running winflash and dont have any other applications running .
Best way is to boot to windows safemode .

I found this plugin which solved pretty much all of my mail font rendering problems. It is designed for Lion, so don't know whether it will work but thought I would offer it up.

iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app? Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility. If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

HT4484 Migrating from @mac to @me with Apple ID/primary email

I'm not sure if anyone else has come across this, but i have had an apple email address back from when @mac was the thing which then got replaced with mobileme (@me), so I think switched all my friends to my new @me account, but as I set my Apple ID and primary address to be my @mac address like 10 years ago the Apple ID service won't allow you to modify this setting and go with the new domain. I can login using either but when I login to iCloud to check my personal email from away from my iMac it goes with whatever has been set with the primary account in iCloud. So now my friends get emails from me at home from @me and from icloud from @mac.
Should i forget the @me deal and just go back to my @mac account to get rid of the dupe email addresses and confusion i'm causing all of my friends?
MobileMe tech support had no solution other than to contact iCloud tech support. iCloud techsupport is only for the service related on specific hardware so nothing is related or i'd have to pay to talk to someone who probably can't do anything.
Apple, it is stupid you can't change your apple ID or primary email address when you're using an apple domain. I know you can do it as you show it in the support document (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), but it's not there for me.

You can remove it as your rescue email address by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, selecting the Password & Security section of your account, and answering your security questions : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support
You can then try putting it as your primary email address (you may need to log out after doing the above and log back in), and putting what is currently your primary email address as your rescue email address.
