Merging MobileMe to iCloud

Merged my MobileMe account to iCloud and now have to iCloud accounts. How can I merge these two accounts so I only have one.
I am willing to give up my @me.com account!!!

Yes, my comcast account is my primary icloud account and itunes account. When 4Gs phones were delivered, it was the account on those phones.
I do not use the @me account. Only item that was shared over the mobileme account was the calendar. Mail and Contacts were never synced and kept on separate iphones and corresponding macs.
I spoke with apple care this afternoon and the rep was very puzzled and had no solution for me.
My goal would be to migrate my calendar @me icloud to my comcast icloud account. There are 12 separate colored coded calendars in that account.
Your responses and help are greatly appreciated.

After merging MobileMe to iCloud I am left without being able to access all services

Before iOS5 I had two accounts with Apple
[email protected] for iTunes. (this is the id name)
[email protected] for MobileMe
Last night I merged my MobileMe to iCloud using my MobileMe name [email protected]
This address doesn't allow me to access support
It doesn't allow me to use tools such as Find my friends
When logging into [email protected] it asked me to add a MobileMe Address so I added [email protected]
I am unable to verify the address as its used on the other one.
How can I a) keep my [email protected] address b) ensure I keep all my data and c) merge the old account leaving me with just the one?

I am/was having the same problem. I ended up logging into my MobleMe/Apple ID account with iTunes and authorized my Mac to use the Apps/music. That's working great now, though I'm locked out of auto-sync and redownloading any purchese I've deleted for the next 90 days, but all is great with Wi-fi syncing! :-)
The problem I'm left with is not being able to access any of my MobileMe stuff. May iCal and book marks won't sync and I'm not sure if it's because I'm now using Lion or if it's actually MobileMe. To update any Calendars and have them sync to my iPhone, I have to go into iCloud.com. I'm still left without bookmarks though.
I'm not sure why they can't merge the two accounts, it's very frustrating for me and I'm sure thousands of other people!

Problems and questions re merging of MobileMe and iCloud

Please bear with me - this is all rather complicated!
At sometime in my early years with Mac, I signed up for an Apple ID - can't even remember what it was. Many, many years ago at the beginning of the internet, I signed up for another Apple ID - it was <[email protected]>. Later, I bought/signed up for .Mac which later became MobileMe. When I first signed up, I had an Apple ID of <[email protected]>. At some time, I quit using the insightbb email and switched to Mail - my email address became <[email protected]>. Then MobileMe came along and wanted my address to be <[email protected]> but it did allow me to keep the mac.com address. I also had two aliases through MobileMe. I still occasionally need to use the insightbb.com account so while I never sign up for anything using that address, there are a few VERY old accounts I have that use it as it was the address with which I originally signed up. I don't remember which ones in order to change it, so I just keep it active and only rarely get email addressed to the insightbb acc't.
Today, I upgraded to Lion and then to iCloud. I used the "migrate from MobileMe to iCloud" format, and low and behold, it told me that my Apple ID is now <[email protected]>. This is going to cause me BIG problems as there is no way to merge Apple ID's!
My first question is how do I get back my correct AppleID for iCloud?
My second is I now have multiple accounts on my iPhone and iPad. I have an insightbb.com account - must keep it. But I also have my new iCloud account and I still have my MobileMe account. Should I delete these accounts? What has happened to my MobileMe aliases? I have subscriptions using them, too!
Aggghhh!!! I LOVED MobileME! So far, I HATE iCloud! I don't need these complications! Any advice on how to reconcile these problems?

I just got off the phone after an hour with Apple Support. The bottom line is that somehow iCloud has decided to use my .mac address as my Apple ID. Yes, I can change it, but if I do, I lose everything - contacts, mail, bookmarks, calendar - everything. For iTunes and this Community help forum, I will have to continue to use the insightbb Apple ID. They could not figure out how this happened, as for MobileMe, I ALWAYS used the insightbb Apple ID. Gremlins in moving from MobileMe to iCloud.
He did say that Apple is working very hard to figure out how to merge multiple Apple ID's as this is becoming more and more of a problem. So, until they sort it all out, at least I know what to do.

I had MobileMe and an iTunes account. I moved MobileMe to iCloud and now have two accounts. Should they be merged? can they be merged?

For those of us with both mobileme to icloud and an itunes account which are not one in the same, which one do you use and is it possible to merge the accounts.

Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions

Messed up initial set-up MobileMe to iCloud

Dear all, last night (very late) I tried to migrate MobileMe to iCloud on a Window PC with Outlook 2010. I've got an old Apple id for buying Music and Apps and an existing [email protected] MobileMe acccount for syncing Outlook calendar and mail. I messed up during my first set-up on my iOS 5 devices by not using [email protected] account but using my old Apple ID.
I then migrated my calender from MobileMe to iCloud using the [email protected] account. But logging in to Windows iCloud control panel needs my old Apple ID, because of my initial wrong iOS 5 devices set-up. So now my existing calender is on iCloud.com via my [email protected] account and my calender iCloud control panel is empty, thus nothing syncs with Outlook.
Is there a way to merge? Or should I revert? Steps? Or should I contact iCloud support.
Any help would be very much appreciated! Greetings from Holland.

We are running CUP 5.3 SP7 and experience the same issue under IE6 and Windows XP. I recently received a new laptop with freshly installed software (IE6 and Windows XP) and the problem has gone away. Not to say that it won't come back but this leads me to believe it was an issue with my old laptop. Stay tuned .

HT2968 From Mobileme to Icloud

How do i move my data from mobileme to Icloud?
As it is now I can access via my old mobileme, and my new icloud account is empty.

Have you tried going to Settings>iCloud and signing into your iCloud account, then turning Contacts, Calendars, Mail, etc. to On, and if prompted, choosing Merge?

MobileMe to iCloud - Still have two Apple accounts...

So, finally was able to get MobileMe merged over, however on my iPhone 4, I still have MobileMe and iCloud logged into iCloud (mobile me says it's iCloud now). I was under the impression that this would merge the two disparate accounts (the Apple Store/Forums account vs. Mobile Me) into one, but apparently it doesnt. Also, now that I have successfully logged into iCloud on this device it wants to 'merge' my bookmarks (which were synced via MobileMe) on the phone to the iCloud. Is it smart enough not to duplicate? I've had several personal horror stories (although I've backed up everything) with iTools/MM/etc., over the years, so I'm curious.
Anyway, any ideas or something assuage my concern?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Yes you can do this. But it is easier on a computer, do you have access to a computer. If so what OS does it run.

Alternative to MobileMe and iCloud migration

I already have a MobileMe ID and a separate Apple ID. I want to transition my existing data (Calendar, Contacts, Bookmarks) from MobileMe to iCloud but I also prefer to be able to use the same sign in ID for both iTunes and iCloud. I have read the various issues regarding inability to merge IDs. I have therefore come up with the following solution and hope someone can offer any advice before I go ahead with it. Note that I have yet to upgrade to the new iOS on my devices.
My MobileMe data is currently synced between my various devices and my iMac. What if I was to backup Calendars, Contacts and Bookmarks on my iMac before cancelling my MobileMe service. I could them import these back into each of the respective applications on my iMac. Then I also remove the MobileMe service from my synced devices. Then I would sign up to iCloud using my Apple ID and upgrade the iOS on my devices and hopefuly will have synced data across all and be using one single ID.
Will this work? Is there any downside I have not considered?
Thanks

Don't count on it! Both my iPad and iPhone4S are on 5.1 and both are having problems right now!

I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices. If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

Can I get rid of one ID? How do I do that?

one on my MacBook Pro
That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.
If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs
Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?

I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?
My iphone and my ipad are compatible but when I try to go to icloud on my phone it says to do it on my computer.
I would like to have my calendar, contacts, etc.. all sync like they do now. Is there a way to upgrade before June 30th? If not, will the gap be an issue or will I just be able to buy mountain lion and sync everything?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

You can buy Lion in the App Store now, but move to iCloud now. If you wait to Mountain Lion, you will only have Mail in Snow Leopard, so you will lose syncing unless you use Lion or Mountain Lion. It's up to you

What you have experienced, though annoying, doesn't necessarily mean someone has hacked your account, though if you were finding that you were blocked because the sending limit had been reached that might indicate that you had been hacked.
What can happen is that when people receive emails which appear to come from their own address but they haven't sent they naturally tend to be concerned: however it's most unlikely that anyone has hacked their account, they've just been targeted by one of two common spammers' techniques: both arise because it's all too easy to forge the 'from' address on messages to be something other than the real one.
There are two methods. One is that the sender has forged the 'from' address to be the same as the 'to' address (so other people will see it coming from themselves, not you), presumably in the hope of confusing spam filters. It's harmless, if extremely annoying. Delete it (never ever answer spam or try to unsubscribe from it), and you don't need to be worried about it.
The other problem is that a spammer is forging your address as the 'from' address on a whole batch of messages. The first thing you hear about this is when you start getting bounce messages because the spam has been sent to non-existent addresses and is being bounced to you. There's no point at all in responding to it. It's infuriating but normally stops after a bit as they move on to another forged address.
There isn't really anything you can do about it: closing the account isn't really worth the hassle unless you are totally swamped, because you will have to tell everyone your new address. Apple can't really do any more than they already are about spam. However changing your password on general principles is a good idea.

How do I get iPhoto to stop asking to merge MobileMe Albums?

How do I get iPhoto to stop trying to merge MobileMe Albums? I don't have any! I never did!!! The problem is that each time I open iPhoto it wants to merge something that doesn't even exist.

When the "mobile Me" alert panel appears, select the "Learn more" button, not o.k. Ignore the web page that will open,
Then open the "iPhoto preferences > Accounts" panel and remove the Mobile Me account.
Also open the System preferences , go to the "Mobile Me" preferences and sign out of Mobile Me.

How to replace MobileMe with ICloud on my Imac?

how to replace MobileMe with ICloud on my Imac? pleae help. Other devices (Ipad and Iphone) are Iclouded but I can't change MobileMe in my system preferences on IMac (10.6.8)

You need to upgrade the computer's OS. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data before upgrading. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Advice on migrate from MacBook 4,1 to MacBookPro 8,1 & mobileMe to iCloud

Hi all,
I just bought a MBP 8,1 to upgrade from my MacBook 4,1 (white). I'd like to know what the best way is to migrate my files & stuff. How well does the Migration Assistant work? My main concern is with Mail, Calendar, Address Book, iPhoto, iMovie, and of course, iTunes, but the major challenge is that I have mobileMe account set up on my old MB and now I will need to migrate that to iCloud. Does the Migration Assistant take care of the migration to Migration?
By the way, I have Snow Leopard on my old MB.
Any feedback will be much appreciated!

Use Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up. See Using Setup Assistant on Lion for details.

No, that's separate. I'd recommend waiting for a bit after running Setup Assistant, to be sure everything got transferred properly, and you've gotten a bit used to the differences in Lion (see Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard.)
Once you're comfy with that, when you go to System Preferences, you'll see a new icon for iCloud:
Both the iCloud and MobileMe windows have buttons to convert MobileMe to iCloud.
