Migration of .me to ICloud

When I migrated my .me (Mobile Me) account to ICloud I created a new email account, not realizing that I could keep my old .me email account. The problem is, only the new email account shows up on ICloud. The only way to access my old .me emails is through Mail on my Mac. How can I get my original .me email account so show up on ICloud?

I believe you can still set up a new iCloud acount using your @me.com ID and when you turn Mail to On your @me address will be reactivated. You will first need to add and verify a non-iCloud email address to your @me ID. This is from Apple's FAQ (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895):
I have an expired @me.com email address as an Apple ID. Can I use it with iCloud and receive email at that address?
Yes, if it is an @me.com address. To use your expired MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your expired @me.com email address as your Apple ID. Your @me.com address it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud.
Important: You will need an active email address associated with your Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add an active email address, go to appleid.apple.com, sign in with your expired @me.com email address, and add an active email address to your account.
To migrate your data to this new account you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data choose to Keep on My [iDevice]. Then set up your new account using your @me ID, turn on your iCloud data syncing, and when prompted choose Merge to upload the data to the new account.

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

Is it possible to migrate Picasa Webalbums to iCloud Photo Library?

Hello
I have a question about the migration of Picasa to iCloud Photo Library. My mother used to have an Android device, and fortunately she's now using iPhone and iPad! But, she has 16k pictures on Picasa and we agreed that it is easier for all of us ("How do I do"..) that she has her pictures on iCloud. So she can access her Photo's in iCloud (aka her iDevices).
Is there an easy way to migrate all the pictures she has on Picasa to iCloud? Without downloading the Picasa application on my Mac, download all of her albums to my Mac, upload all the pictures on iCloud, etc.? My Mac doesn't like 16K picture downloads ;)!
Thanks for your reply!
Cheers, Leon

Unfortunately no. iCloud does NOT allow you to host your web sites. You can continue to use iWeb but, will need a 3rd party web host to upload your websites to. Depending on the version of iWeb you are using you have a couple of publishing options:
iWeb '09 (3.0.4) you can publish to an FTP Server or a local folder. ( With the built in FTP in iWeb you will end up with an address like "www.YourDomain.com/sitename/Home.html )
iWeb '08 you can publish your website to a local folder
I have been using IX Webhosting for several years with little to no problems "usually the problem was something I did" and they have been quick to solve any issue I have come across. The have plans that start at $3.95 a mo (USD) and their customer service is top notch.

I've migrated from MobileMe to iCloud - can I still access my iDisk on my Mac and how?

I've just migrated from MobileMe to iCloud and have noticed that iDisk on my Mac has disappeared. Is there still a way for me to access my iDisk on my Mac? Can I still sync with it before MobileMe is canceled altogether (June 2012)?
Thanks in advance!

iDisk is not a feature of iCloud.
However, just log back into MobileMe in the MobileMe system preferences pane and your iDisk will be accessible again.

Can't migrate from mobileme to icloud

I've been trying to migrate in the UK for over a week, but the 'servers are too busy'. Anyone else managed?can't migrate to icloud

I am having the same problems to. Contacted Apple Support they recommended logging out of Mobile ME then emptying the cache in Safari and logging back in thne ry to migrate. This never worked. They then recommended trying Firefox to make the migration. This never worked. Still get servers too busy message.
Still unresolved.

How can I migrate my photos from iCloud Drive into iCloud Photos?

So in the midst of a local backup issue I decided to take the plunge and purchase some 200GB of storage from our friends at Cupertino to store cherished family memories in the view that they would never be lost as I can trust Tim and Co. to look after them. (No issues in that dept by the way).
However, after taking said plunge and uploading my entire back catalogue of photos/videos into an iCloud Drive "Photos backup" (original name I know) folder - i realised that iCloud Photos was becoming available - but I saw no option at the time to import such a vast amount.
My question therefore... how can I now migrate these historic moments in time from my iCloud Drive into the iCloud Photos app?
It's still using the same storage plan... just a 'move folder'.. right? well unless I'm being stupid (and I'm not ruling this out) - I can't see a way to do this.
Has anyone else fallen into the same issue?
Help me Apple-Fans, you're my only hope
James

You access them with the App responsible for the type of file.

Migration from Picasa to iCloud

I have photos and videos on Picasa. Can I migrate them to iCloud without downloading to my desktop first?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
ICloud is not a replacement for Picasa

Migrated from MobileMe to iCloud. Sync works, but Find My ... reports no location, even though Location Services shows ON.

I upgraded my iPhone and iPad to IOS5, migrated from mobile.me to iCloud, and deleted my mobile.me account from my devices under "Mail, Contacts, Calendars." My user name and password were different between mobile.me and the Apple Store account, so I used my Apple Store ID to activate iCloud.
All syncing now works fine, but Find My iPhone reports "Location Services disabled." That is true for both my iPhone and iPad. Nevertheless, Find My iPhone is still able to send a message or sound to my devices, even though it cannot locate them.
Find My iPhone is switched ON under the iCloud account on both devices, and is ON under Location Services. The only way I can get Find My iPhone to locate my devices is to re-enable mobile.me, but that is no solution since the mobile.me service is scheduled to end next year.
Can you help unravel this for me?

I think I solved it! Remove the Ubiquity folder from ~/Library/Application Support/
OSX will create a new one and locations services will work perfectly! Well, it worked for me!
I love using exclamation points!!!

Migrating from MobileMe to iCloud

I originally had a MobileMe account with 2 accounts (account1 and account2). We had a 50GB account (upgrade). I was able to adjust the accounts and add additional space for account2. Once we were migrated to iCloud, I noticed that when I log onto account 1, it shows the current plan of 50GB, but when we log into account2 with my wifes iphone, it shows a free account and only 5GB. How do I share my space with account1 and account2, and give account2 10 or 15GB?

OK. Thanks Windston Churchill (Really??). I apreaciate the information. I didn't know icloud didn't support this. That answers everything.
Have a wonderful day.

Migration from MobileMe to iCloud - where did my documents go?

When I bought the new iPhone 4S, I was instructed to move all of my MobileMe content to iCloud; however, I'm now missing my files as well as my websites. Can someone please help? Thanks!

Your files and websites are still on the iDisk: iCloud does not do general file storage nor website hosting.
You can still access them: the migration process has probably signed you out of MobileMe so you will need to go to System Preferences>MobileMe on your Mac or the sign-in location on your iPhone and sign in. On your Mac you will then be able to access your iDisk as before from Finder menu Go>iDisk>My iDisk or on your iPhone from the iDisk app.
Your websites and files will remain on the iDisk until 30 June 2012 when MobileMe will terminate and they will be deleted, so you will need to find alternative hosting before then. This article examines some alternatives:

Recently migrated from mobileme to iCloud and my mail inbox always shows 3. Any idea how to fix?

I recently upgraded to Lion and migrated my mobileme account to iCloud and my mail inbox always shows 3 new emails that don't appear as new anywhere. I found a previous article from a couple of years ago but it was no help. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try turning mail syncing off and on again in system preferences > iCloud.

Has anyone successfully migrated from mobileme to iCloud?

If so I'd like to hear how it went for you and if there were any gotcha's you had to overcome. I'm updated all my mac's to 10.7.2 and my devices to iO5 so I've just got to start the move.
The only thing I was / am concerned about is losing keychain sync and mailbox sync but for the former I manage all my web password using 1password and dropbox and for the latter I tend to have different mailboxes set up on different devices, so no sweat.
Is there anything else?

Hi,,
I finally got up the nerve to migrate today - like many, I was terrified after everything I'd read here.
It all went very smoothly - touch wood..
First I had to upgrade my Mac from SnowLeopard to Lion. That took a few hours, but it went OK.
I backed up my contacts and ical to be on the safe side. ( Note: ALL of the calendars, i.e. 'work', 'home', if you have more than one need to be backed up)
Then I logged into MobileMe and I was invited automatically to migrate to iCloud.
I think the only bit of advice I can give is to those of us who did use Mobile Me - and that's to use your mobile me user ID ([email protected]) and not your Apple ID (like we use to log on here) with all of your devices when you migrate. A terrible lack of clarity on Apple's part around that seems to cause a lot of problems.. Indeed when I upgraded my iphone to ios5 my Apple ID was sitting in the iphone's icloud account by default, waiting for me to add my password and migrate. I did actually use it at first, naturally thinking it must be the one I should use... result - an icloud account with no ical or contacts on it.
I deleted it and started again using my mobile me ID once I had migrated to icloud on my Mac and it went smoothly across all my other devices (ipad, iphone and MB air)
There seems to be some idea around the forum that to sync itunes across devices with icloud you need to open another icloud account using the Apple ID you use for buying from iTunes. To be honest I don't really care about syncing my music, so I haven't worked out if that's true or not.
The weird part for me is - how would I know anyway if my itunes purchases are in the cloud or not? How does one find out, short of making a purchase and seeing if it appears elsewhere?
Good luck..!

Migrate from gMail to iCloud email : storage issues?

Hi
I'm considering dropping my existing but unwieldy gMail address, for a more concise [email protected] address. My concern is around storage space. It's my understanding that the standard iCloud account is just 5Gb - whereas the standard gMail account is limitless - correct? If so, surely my iCloud storage will in time, be consumed with large volumes of email. I'd then be forced to deal with that by 'spring cleaning' the iCloud server -and in the process, could lose something I later need.
Am I correct in assuming there's a 5Gb limit on iCloud acounts?
Matthew

5 GB's is the amount of the free service and you can purchase additional storage if needed.
I've had the same Apple mac.com address since 2000 and have less than 100 emails still on their servers. You can move files from iCloud to your computer to free up space.

After migrating from MobileMe to iCloud I lost junk mail filtering

Now I get junk mail on all of my mobile devices. Is there a fix?

I'm also having this problem with no junk mail filtering...anyone have any suggestions?

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
