Just moved from DotMac/MobileMe to iCloud

and it is worse than I expected. I only use the mail part of MM and I've LOST the 2 most important features of the email:
I can no longer retrieve my mail from iCloud using my GMail account
So I have no way to get mail sent to my @mac.com address except by using my iPhone.
More importantly, I've LOST my @mac.com outgoing email address even though I specifically used that address for the transition
Now any messages I send will have a freakingly inane @me.com, which I NEVER asked for or wanted.
More and more, I'm becoming convinced that Apple doesn't want my business after 28 years of being a loyal customer.
I'll have to see what email subscriptions are set to the @mac.com address and change them to a NON-Apple related address. Then I will turn off iCloud Mail on my iDevices.
If anyone knows how to get iCloud email to be checked/retrieved by GMail, please let me know. Supposedly you can set the mail up to be forwarded, but I can't find out how to do this using my iPad/iPhone. Anyone know how to do it?

Yes, I read it but he didn't tell me anything that:
1. I had NOT ALREADY tried
2. I CANNOT do because of hardware limitations.
Taking his points one at a time:
A. Logging into http://www.icloud.com/
1. I can't do that on my desktop computers because NONE have Lion because NONE have a Core2Duo processor. IIRC, my web browsers can run on Lion but when run on pre-Lion OS, it doesn't work.
2. I have tried to log in on my iPad but I ONLY get the THREE (3) options I listed in my reply.
B. My @mac.com address not working for OUTGOING email
1. When i write an email message on my iPad/ iPhone, it is sent with the From and/or Reply headers set to @ME.COM, not @mac.com. I specifically mentioned this in my reply. I also specifically mentioned in BOTH posts that I HAD used @mac.com when moving from MobileMe to iCloud.
C. Update iCloud server settings
1. This is WHAT I'm trying to do. But I can't find a way to do this via my iPad/iPhone; it seems to require going to http://www.icloud.com/ (See A above)
D. Setting up forwarding
1. AGAIN, that requires going to http://www.icloud.com/. (See A above)
So I'll ask each question again
1. How do I setup forwarding of iCloud email using my iPad/iPhone?
2. How do I, using my iPad/ iPhone, setup my OUTGOING iCloud email to use @MAC.COM in the From and Reply To headers?
3. This is new. Can I use a Public Access computer a my local Public Library to go to http://www.icloud.com/?

I have just moved from MobileMe, where I had a 'Family account' (with unique email addresses for my wife and myself) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have iPads and iPhones? Mine sync OK...

We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.

According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

We just moved from the United States to Costa Rica. The first two days my mac worked great. Then all of a sudden I was trying to use a game application and the screen went black and there is a white cursor which I can move around, but I can't escape it

HT1349 I have just moved from one pc to another. I had used 5 computers to attach to itunes. I went in and disabled all 5 of my accounts but cant get the new computer to give me a prompt to authorize this computer. Any ideas?

Hellow everyone,
I have just moved from one PC to another. They are windows pc's not macintosh. When i installed itunes on the new computer it stated that I already had 5 devices authrorized for this account. I did a little reading and went in and deathorized all 5 PC from the account as I am sure it was a couple pcs ago and a few iphones. When I try and go in and authorize an account I cant see anywhere where there is a prompt to authorize the new PC. I go into store and all it says is that there are no devices associated to this account. What I would like to do is associate my new PC and my iphone to this account and hopefully restore from the cloud all of my music and programs.
Any idea what I am doing wrong here or how I can resolve this. Thanks in advance.
Respectully.

if it's music then drm is not used there any more and drm can be removed from previously bought drm material without cost

I just moved from Germany back to the USA. How can I use an German iPhone 6 from T-Mobile in the USA?

Was your phone locked to T-Mobile? If so, it needs to be unlocked before you can use it here. I believe you can use it with AT&T or T-Mobile here, but you won't get 4G/LTE speeds.

I have just moved from using Windows all my life to Mac OS Lion. My accounting software "Tally" does not run on it. Please help !

I have just moved from using Windows all my life to buying a Mac Book Pro running on OS Lion. But my accounting softwares Tally 7.2 and Tally 9 do not run on it.
I just learnt that the software platform of Tally Accounting softwares are specific to Windows only.
I need to run the accounting software, Mail and several spread sheets and documents at the same time.
Is there some way I can do this on the Mac Lion OS?
Help solicited !

Yes, you can share files across a network as long as the network server is setup so your Mac can connect to it. See Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to shared computers and file servers on a network, Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect your Mac directly to a Windows computer, Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to a Mac from a Windows computer, and Mac OS X 10.7 Help: Connect to shared computers and servers using a network address.

I am just moving from FCPx to Premiere Pro

I am just moving from FCPx to Premiere Pro, and one of the things I'll miss with FCPx is all the free wipe's, templates, generators that were availible throught places like FCP.co Forum, is there any kind of free stuff available like this but for Premiere?

I did like working in Premiere Pro for one of my school projects but the rendering time and exporting time for it made me stick with FCPX. It was a 45 second fictional commercial and it took over night to finish.
I'm sure I did something wrong or just not used to working in it. I did do some research about Rendering and from what I've read, people say it's unnecescary to render but could be just preference.

My MBP didn't recognise my password, started it in safe mode, I can see my files, but I don't know what to do next, as the image of reset password isn't selectable. I just moved from PC. Need help please...

Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
resetpassword
Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.

We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Macs -problem!

We just moved from a Windows server to a Mac server with our Mac Network!!!
Problem:
Now, when we create files from our personal computers, no one else can write them. We can all read these files, but when we make changes we have to save a version! This wasn't happening on the Windows server, so I can only guess that it's a setting on the Mac? (G4 Laptop running 10.4.5)
Can anyone help me figure out what setting needs to be changed?
Thank you very much in advance!
-Alex

This is normal behavior, and is a result of the POSIX umask. Newly created files have their POSIX permissions (owner, group, and everyone fields) set such that only the owner can read and write.
The best way to solve this problem is to use an ACL entry to define desired permissions for a folder, specifying inheritance (e.g., permissions apply to this folder and any newly-created files or folders inside of that).
Please see my ACL Tips version 2 link for more information, including a more detailed explanation of POSIX and ACL permissions and how they work together: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1732788

Do you still have the iphone? I know this has been an issue with phones that were lost or stolen, but if you still have your iphone try going into settings on that iphone and turn off imessage. See if that helps,certainly cannot do any harm.

Just moving from PC to Mac. How do you select a group of items. On the PC it was shift right click

In list or column view, click the item at one end of the range and then shift-click the item at the other end.
In icon view, click on an empty part of the window and drag to select them.

I am so glad to hear about your success. As you are new to the Mac environment, I will be glad to help you more.
You said: "I can't change the setup yet but i have access". I don't understand what you mean about changing the setup! Please let me know more about that.
I also recommend to use Boot Camp, which allows you to install windows on a partition of your internal hard drive. This has many benefits. First, you can restart your computer and start up in windows. This makes your Mac device a complete windows machine and you gain the most from your hardware when working in Windows. Second, if a problem occures to your Mac OS X, you can restart your machine in Windows and prevent your data from getting lost. Third, you can import the Windows installed on the boot camp partition in to the Mac OS X using VMWare Fusion and work with it as a virtual machine. In this situation, VMWare enables you to work directly with your Windows in the boot camp partition. So it does not create a file package for the virtual machine in OS X.
Regarding the data safety and reliablity, I strongly recommend using Time Machine. You can also set it up to back up your virtual machines or not. This is possible to set up in the Virtual Machine Preferences Page in VMWare Fusion, or in the Time Machine preferences page in the System Preferences app of OS X.
Please don't hesitate to ask any other question. I will be glad to help you.

To backup your Cal before you try to merge .me and .iCloud calendars.
I don't know if the .me account settings works like iCloud. In iCloud you can turn off the Calendar from settings by keeping the event in the iPhone's local account. Then you can turn ON calendar in iCloud settings and you will prompted to merge them.

HT5569 i can connect to internet and e mail via wi fi , however not out with these. I have just moved from i phone 3 to 4s is it the settings?

i can connect to internet and e mail via wi fi , however not out with these. I have just moved from i phone 3 to 4s is it the settings?

Let me see if I understand correctly, you can access the Internet and email when on wifi, however when not on wifi, none of this works? Is this correct? If so, do you have a data plan with your carrier? Do you have cellular data turned on in Settings? When you look at your carrier in the upper left corner, do you see a signal, carrier name, and then 3G, 4G or LTE displayed? Have you contacted your carrier about this?
