Migrating to icloud

Where can I find step by step instruction on migrating to icloud?

Your signature says you have 10.6.6 - is this correct? (If it isn't please amend it to prevent confusion).
Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud. The page Winston linked to covers the process in good detail and it's worth reading it all very carefully before proceeding.
If you do not have Lion and cannot upgrade, you should at least update to 10.6.8. You can migrate to iCloud on this, but you will not be able to sync calendars, contacts or bookmarks, or access iCloud's facilities except email (by entering the settings manually).
This page outlines the situation when you migrate with Snow Leopard:

How can I use my old MobileMe email address if I did not migrate to icloud by the deadline?

I had a mobile me account that I did not migrate to icloud. Now when I try and set up an icloud account using the old mobileme email address, it says that address is already in use. I then try and access it but the password doesn't work and it says mobileme is closed. When I try and reset the password, it says an email has been sent to the email on file...which is an old mobileme address that I cannot access.
How can I get this email address set up in icloud?

Nice idea - I tried it but it doesn't seem to work (at least not for me).
So here are the details in case, you can spot something more I could do....
When MobileMe was live
MobileMe ID was [email protected]
AppleID (to make iTunes purchases) was [email protected]
When iCloud went live (and MM was still alive)
iCloud account was created based upon AppleID - [email protected]
iCloud would not create [email protected] as was already in use (by me)
iCloud would not merge [email protected] as iCloud does not merge
MobileMe migration to iCloud option was not taken
Deleted all data out of MobileMe account (mail, calendar, contacts, gallery)
Deleted MobileMe mail account off of all devices
When MM died
I received notification that I had not migrated my MM account
iCloud was happily working as Contacts/Calendar sharer using my AppleID of [email protected]
Weeks later on Mac running 10.8
System Preference - iCloud, already logged in with AppleID of [email protected]
Then ticked the untick Mail box
Long wait with small grey whirling cog box, stating "Loading". Eventually a BLANK message box with OK which then disappeared on a timeout.
System Preference - Mail... Re-added [email protected] (now picked up as iCloud account)
Mail - Accounts.... Re-added [email protected] BUT got message "Mail can'y connect to the account..."
So tried logging into www.icloud.com (using AppleID of [email protected] where my contacts/calendar now reside). Clicked on Mail icon and received "@me.com Address Needed" message

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries?

I use Windows Vista and Microsoft Outlook. After migrating to iCloud, the calendar of iCloud tranferred only part of my past Calendar items to the folder iCloud Calendar in my Outlook. How can I transfer all the entries? In iCloud's site all are there.

If the calendar is on iCoud.com, all you would need to do to get it on your phone is go to Settings>iCloud on your phone, sign into your iCoud account and turn Calendars on. The iCloud calendars will then download to your phone.

HT1338 intel core duo / can't migrate to icloud?

Hi. I would like some help in clarifying please. I have an older Macbook with an Intel Core Duo running Snow Leopard. I can't upgrade to Lion. I have used my .mac account/Mobileme for years primarily for email purposes, idisk, and the gallery (I understand the idisk and gallery are being discontinued). I'm trying to understand whether I can migrate to icloud and/or whether I really need it. I don't have any other devices that I need to sync with. I've already copied my idisk onto my hard drive and I'm not too worried about the gallery because I have my photos and movies stored elsewhere.
Questions:
1. Do I need to migrate to icloud in order to keep my @mac and @me email addresses?
2. Will the @mac email address be discontinued after June 30 (assuming I've migrated to icloud)?
3. Is it physically possible for me to migrate to icloud if I am using Snow Leopard? If so, do I follow the steps as outlined on the main migration page (i.e. acknowledge that I'm using the required software)?
I believe there may be a workaround to #3 but am not sure if that's what I'm looking for. Thank you for your help.
Dave

Hi Dave,
Questions:
1. Do I need to migrate to icloud in order to keep my @mac and @me email addresses?
2. Will the @mac email address be discontinued after June 30 (assuming I've migrated to icloud)?
3. Is it physically possible for me to migrate to icloud if I am using Snow Leopard? If so, do I follow the steps as outlined on the main migration page (i.e. acknowledge that I'm using the required software)?
Answers:
1. Yes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4597). MobileMe accounts must be migrated before the end of MobileMe otherwise they end along with the service.
2. No. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4597)
3. I haven't done it recently but yes.
-- You will need to update the mail server settings in your Mail program once the migration is complete as iCloud uses a different set of mail servers than MobileMe: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.
Cheers.

Sign out of MobileMe after migration to iCloud?

Now that I've migrated to iCloud should I sign out of MobileMe (System Prefs>MobileMe>Account)?

Sakahara wrote:
A: No. If you want access to iDisk.
I assumed everything switched over to iCloud. So what happens to iDisk when MobileMe is finally no more in June?
When Mobile Me ends on 6/30/2012 iDisk will cease to exist.

HT4759 If i haven't upgraded to lion yet can i migrate to icloud when i do upgrade to lion?

If i haven't upgraded to lion yet, can i fully migrate to icloud when i do upgrade to lion?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You need to migrate to iCloud before midnight on Saturday, you don't need to have Lion to do that, you just wont be able to use any of the features except Mail with Snow Leopard until you update to Lion.

Lost subscribed calendars when migrating to iCloud

My husband and I each have Mobile Me subscriptions. I subscribe to two of his calendars. I have migrated to iCloud (he has not yet) and I have lost his subscriptions. I have resent the inviations to subscribe but this doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks

Two issues here: your crontab file, and cron under Tiger.
Installing a new major-version of OS X updates all your system config files to those for the latest versions, which unfortunately means local modifications often get lost. You should be able to re-add tasks to those files (either by hand-editing them or using the 'crontab' command). However, first you have to consider:
On Tiger, cron is still present and usable, but Apple is moving towards using "launchd" and "periodic" services to accomplish what it used to do with cron. Here is an into from Apple: http://developer.apple.com/macosx/launchd.html Can you accomplish what you used to do with cron using the New Way? Or if you switch control of some tasks back to cron, disable those tasks in launchd.
Edit: Here's a useful discussion from MacOSXHints about these issues: http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=44671

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud

Can't sync contacts with Blackberry phone after migration to iCloud. The only way to do is to have a local copy of address book. What else can I do (before BB will fix the bug)?

Ah! This explains why I have been tearing my hair out for the past 24 hours trying to get my contacts from Address Book to my new BB Torch!
I found a workaround for a one-time sync:
1. go into Address Book prefs and temporarily change Default account from iCloud to On My Mac (this makes the "All on My Mac" category visible)
2. Go back into your contacts window, select all of your contacts, and copy them to All on My Mac (this will create duplicates of everything)
3. Sync the BB.
3. Return to prefs to change default account back to iCloud, and select all the contacts in All on My Mac and delete them, thereby removing all duplicates.
This solution only works for a one-time sync and needs to be repeated for future syncs.
Let's hope BB comes up with an iCloud compatible update ASAP!

When I migrated to iCloud I ended up with two sets of calendars.

When I migrated to iCloud I ended up with two sets of calendars. I now have two calendars named "Home", two calendars named "Work", etc. I can't just delete one set, because my events somehow ended up split across the calendars.
Is there any way to merge these two sets of calendars into one set? I can use Export and Import to move future events from one calendar to another, but I also want to move past events.
FWIW, the duplicate calendars appear on all my devices and also on iCloud.

I fixed this by doing the following:
Renamed one set of calendars to "name-1" and the other set of calendars to "name-2". Gave the different calendars different numbers.
Located all events in the "-1" calendars by turning off the "-2" calenders. Used the Year view to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
Changed each event to point to the "-2" calendar.
Deleted all the "-1" calendars.
Removed the "-2" from all the remaining calendars.
This didn't end up taking that long, and the changes were immediately reflected on all my devices.

Forced to migrate to Icloud and Lion?

Why Apple customers accept being forced to migrate to Icloud and Lion (an OS with bad reviews) before the end of June when knowing that Mountain Lion will be available a few weeks later?

For the reviews on the App Store, people who have problems are the one's most likely to post. Millions of people out there didn't give their opinion. Lion has some problems like every other previous OS that came out and it's getting better with each new release. As others pointed out, SL was no different. I've read posts on every system that came out about how bad it was and they wanted to go back to the previous version.
For the loss of the MMe features, I can't do anything about that. I've never used MMe, but the only thing I see that's being lost is iDisk. Most unfortunate for those who use it, but surely it can be replaced. iCloud does provide other features that MMe didn't have.
Other than iDisk, you can still keep your .me address with SL and continue to use it. You don't have to transfer to Lion. The .me is IMAP and will sync between all devices.
For your question, I've never used iDisk personally. If you state exactly what your question and concerns are, someone else may have an answer.

Migrating to iCloud from MobileMe using iPod Touch

Sooooo...... I've finally decided to take the plunge and migrate to iCloud, well now I've been made to!
Having ALOT of problems. I now cant access my email at all, not via the web browser on my pc nor via my ipod touch's mail app.
All I get on the old mobileme site is "@me.com address needed. To use iCloud Mail, create an @me.com address by turning on Mail in your iCloud settings using iOS or OSX."
So off we go to my iPod Touch to try and Turn on Mail in my iCloud settings......
I try to sign into iCloud in Settings, after typing the correct password and login email address, it comes back saying that the details are incorrect!!!!
Then Settings completely freezes up, so I have to exit the Settings app, close it, and then try again, jsut to find the same thing happens each time.
Any suggestions out there??
Many Thanks

have you migrated your MM account to iCloud, using http://me.com/migrate or http://www.icloud.com/move ?
In all cases you should be able to login to iOS -> Settings -> iCloud using that old MM Apple-ID.
To access the URLS listed above you must use a Browser on a Computer ( Mac/PC/Linux ) , idevice's Safari wont let you log in to the web-portals.

Contact information missing on iPad after migration to iCloud

I used mobile me on my iPad and iMac without any issues. I migrated to iCloud and have been struggling with it for days.
iCloud has all my contacts and info, but iPad displays only the list of names with no information on phone numbers or addresses. I know the information is there because other apps on the iPad, like my navigator, have no problem accessing the information.
I tried the suggested remedy of turning off iCloud contacts and then turning it back on several times with no change.
Mysterious and frustrating. I'm hoping I've missed something obvious. Has anyone had a similar problem that they fixed?

Ok, here is my theroy. In looking at the settings on the iPhone & iPad under mail/account/advance/outgoing mail server/primary server/
The Server is on (cannot turn it off)
but under Authentication it is set for Apple Token. Since you cannot turn off the server and change it to id/password I came up with this temp solution until apple comes up with a fix:
I did the following:
under mail
Add Account: (other)
Mail
Add Mail Account
Name (Your Name)
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.mail.me.com
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
Outgiong Mail Server
SMTP smtp.mail.me.com
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
After your done filling out the information hit the next button & it will start to verify. It my verify sucessfuly or come back & say it was unable to verify. if the latter, then just hit continue.
Hit the save button & you now have access to your mail.
It worked for me.
Home it works for you

After migrating to iCloud the alias email address my wife has been using now no longer accepts email. The alias can send but extremly slow. However if you reply to the email or attempt to send and email to the alias address it comes up saying " The recipient "****@me.com" was rejected by the server because the user is unknown.

Why does iCal ask me to login to MobileMe after migration to iCloud?

Ever since the migration to iCloud, my iCal account asks me to login to MobileMe. I go to MobileMe on the web and obviously it says that I successfully migrated to iCloud. Sadly my calendar doesn't seem to think so. Has anyone expiriences this problem? More importantly, has anyone solved it?

I've been having this happen as well, ever since the last update. When you download podcasts everyday, it is really annoying. Hope we can get an answer.
