Just upgraded my mail to iCloud. Now I'm missing yesterday's mail

I have three apple computers and a pile of mobile devices. I have now upgraded my iMac and MacBook Pro to Lion, mostly without incident. But the other day, my wife couldn't find three days worth of mail on her iPad. Now I can't find any of yesterday's mail on my computer.
My Mac Pro is still on Snow Leopard because not all of the production software I'm using was certified as Lion compatible until very recently. So I've taken an incremental approach on the other machines to see if I ran into issues.
So my big machine is still on Mobile Me. We have a family Mobile Me account, all of the kids have user accounts on the iMac and their own iPhones. Everything seems to be working fine except for the issue with my wife's iPad and now the issue with my laptop emial. I can see all the email on my phone and iPad, but not on my MBP.
All other machines and devices are turned on 24/7. The MBP is usually in the bag unless I'm using it. It was in the bag all day and night yesterday and these seem to be the emails that are missing. Since firing it up this AM, it's gotten everything I've gotten on my phone. And it has everything from when it was on the other day. But it didn't get anything that came yesterday or last night and won't get them now, even though they're clearly on the iCloud server. I even logged in via iCloud.com and can see the emails, drafts, etc. sitting there. But Mail on my MBP just won't fetch them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm a Mac evangelist and this is very frustrating...
Thanks!

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Now my cursor doesn't "snap-to" the default position.

I just upgraded to Firefox 4. Now my cursor doesn't "snap-to" the default button. I made sure it was newly recognized (by unchecking and rechecking) in
Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options > Snap To: Automatically move pointer to a default button in a dialog box > Apply > OK
But the Fox isn't cooperating. How do I get this working again?

I'm afraid I don't understand how your reply relates to my problem. I'll type the words I don't understand in your answer:
"default dialog button" (where do you find this?)
"mouse middle-click button" (I have a wheel)
"Global default" I don't know what that is, so, apparently, it doesn't apply to me.
"IntelliMouse" I don't have this either, just an old, dumb "Dell mouse" ;-)
"dialog box" is that what I'm hoping the cursor will be moved to? If so, how do I get it to move there on it's own? What's the purpose of "Snap to" if I have to move the cursor there myself?

I've just upgraded to V5.0 and now I have lost ability to 'open in new tab'

I've just upgraded to V5.0 and now I have lost ability to 'open in new tab' whats happening?

Thanks but I've reinstalled V4 until V5 is stable and more or less working the way I want to work - not the way some programmer thinks I should want to work.
You know change is OK but only if it makes things better for the user Change shouldn't be made to make the developer feel good about his/her expertise. For me V4 was Good. V5 gives me too many issues to deal with - I just need a relatively simple browser (and I guess I'm not the only 1 out there that feels like this).

I just upgraded to iphone 5 and now imessage don't work. it sends as sms. i've checked imessages is on in settings.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
It might also be a good idea to contact Square for assistance.

Restore a Known-good back up and update that to iPhoto 11.

Be sure to start your iMac using its original grey System Install DVD: Insert that disc and start your Mac while holding the d key. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen select Disk Utility and format the hard disk. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)".
Then, install OS X.

I just upgraded my apple TV and now when I rent a movie on iTunes, instead of it playing instantly, it takes 60 hours to load. Anyone else have this problem?

i just upgraded my apple TV and now when I rent a movie on iTunes, instead of it playing instantly, it takes 60 hours to load. Anyone else have this problem?

Apple Support, I have just purchased 3 movies 2 from my account and 1 from my wifes account and both systems are stating that it will take 2 days to download. I have a FIOS 150 megabit per second up and 150 megabit per second down busiuness class fiber service to my location. I have tested downloading 10Gbyte files from two other locations and both work fine. I additionally went out and have tested doing speed tests (http://www.speedtest.net/) from over 10 other locations all over the US and all are over 75 magabits per second download speeds with a few hitting 100 and 125 megabit per second speeds. What is wrong with your servers or your internet connection????
This is VERY FUSTRATING!!!
I have additionally tried to download them with my Apple TV and two different PCs all wired on Gigabit Ethernet with jumbo frames enabled. I have tried differnet DNS servers also. I can upload and download files to my office 50G in less than 1 hour. I have also download movies from 2 other movie sites without any problems.

I just upgraded to Safari 5.1; now none of my mice will work correctly

I just upgraded to Safari 5.1; now none of my mice will work correctly on flash intensive websites (Evony); have reinstalled the latest version of flash, have emptied caches, have reset the first 7 items in the reset list, dumped preferences and restarted. Nothing works. And, to boot, 1Password no longer works. How can in reinstall the former version of Safari that I was not quite so happy with but at least things worked?
I am now going to have to use Firefox for the majority of my Internet time. PLEASE, can someone help me?

Ok, I kept on looking and back in 2009, a fellow had a similar problem with his iPod. He went to network settings., reset network settings to factory defaults, just like the apple guy told him... and it didn't fix it or so he thought....so he deleted an app from his phone that he had purchased to force it to place it back on when he used iTunes to resink his iSink or whatever. Anyhow his app then worked! He clicked on each of his other apps and Voila!! they all started working again. I did the above and it worked for me.
Who knows which step fixed it ... the reset of the network settings or the deletion of a single app to force the re-sync from iTunes. Guess it doesn't really matter...
I sure hope this helps someone out there with a similar problem and maybe they won't have to waste as much time on it as I did!

Just upgraded to 10.6.8, now Mail won't work.

Hi, I'm hoping one of you can help me. I just upgraded my MacPro to 10.6.8, and most of my apps (that I've tried, anyway) seem to be working OK, except my Mail program, for some reason, will not accept any new incoming mail from the server. My printer didn't want to work until I reinstalled the printer software, but I'm at a loss as to what to do with the Mail program, as there's nothing to reinstall for it. I've gone into the Preferences and everything seems to look good there. Seems to me I had this same kind of problem last time I upgraded, to 10.5, but I can't remember what I ended up doing to fix it at that time. Any help I can get from anyone will be gratefully appreciated.

If you moved the mail Application outside the protection of the Applications folder, it will no longer function after this update:
Mac OS X v10.6: "You can't use this version of Mail…" alert after installing Security Update 2012-004
Mail.app is a very common target of malware. Mail must remain in the protected Applications folder, not outside where it can be hacked.

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now I can't open more than one website at a time. When I do the first site, minimized and in the dock, is taken up by the second one.

I just upgraded my computer from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I used to be able to have as many websites open as I wished. Now when I open a website and minimize it, it minimizes and moves to the dock just like it used to do. But now when I open a second website, it takes the place of the first one down in the dock that was minimized. I can't open more than 1 website at time now.

There is something basic going on that unfortunately has me stumped.
Before you spend the $20 please try creating a new user, for testing purposes:
Creating a temporary account to isolate user-specific problems: Isolating an issue by using another user account
That is easy enough to accomplish. If Safari and the Dock behave as you expect while using that account, it will help determine the cause. Please report the results of this test.
Delete the temporary account after you finish testing.
Many of those features I mentioned are new in Mountain Lion, and represent a significant change from Snow Leopard. Though you should certainly continue to use your Mac the way you have been accustomed to using it, you may find using Mountain Lion's new features advantageous. If you are fortunate enough to have an Apple Store nearby, you would benefit by taking advantage of Apple's many free workshops: https://www.apple.com/retail/learn/
Otherwise you may find yourself spending the $20 often. The help available here is often better than Apple's. It is not always correct, but it is always free.

I just upgraded to FF 7 and now when I open Firefox none of my history or cookies have been saved. I have checked in options that Firefox will remember my history and all relevant settings but it is not doing it. Is there a problem with this on FF7?

*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible, whether you have the menu bar visible or hidden<br>A consequence of this location is that you no longer can hide the Navigation Toolbar
*There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.<br>You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at the bottom of this drop-down list
*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu changes to "Edit This Bookmark"
*You can make the title bar visible via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window
It is still possible to have the menu bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks menu available.

I have just upgraded to Lion and I now find that my VPN network does not work properly. It worked fine with Leopard.

I have just upgraded to Lion and now my VPN connection does not work properly. It was working fine when I was using Leopard. The VPN is My Private Network and we use it to link to BBC iPlayer when abroad. It will actually connect to the VPN site and shows a UK IP address, but then when we try to load an iPlayer programme we get the message from the BBC that we are not in the country and, therefore, cannot access the site. Any suggestions?

Have a look at System Preferences, Accessibility, VoiceOver.

I just upgraded my Firefox program and now a group of black lines running 10-15 deep are appearing on my monitor from time-to-time

I just upgraded my Firefox program to a new version and immediately I started seeing a group of black lines running 10-15 deep running across my computer screen while on the Web. As I scroll down they sometimes disappear. Then they reappear. It doesn't happen all the time. But often enough.

Contact Apple. That sounds like a hardware issue in the graphics circuit.
