Mobile me mail did not transition to iCloud

When my mobile.me migrated to iCloud, most things seem to work except my me.com email. It's gone and, of course, I cannot log into mobile me and the mobile me mail account no longer appears on my devices. When, in iCloud on either Mac or iPad, I try to add my mobile me address, it tells me it's already taken and to please invent another. Don't want to: want the old one, because people have been using it. How did we manage, apple and i, to "lose" the connection to the mobile me mail account? Color me baffled.

If you go to http://me.com and log in, do you see any of your data there that should have been migrated?
Did you migrate by going to http://me.com/move and logging in with your MobileMe email address?
When you go to http://icloud.com in a browser you should see a login page. What happens when you log in with your MobileMe email address?
Please make sure that this is what your are logging in with: you may have a different ID for iTunes and you should not be logging in with that.

HT4597 mobileme to icloud, e-mails did not transfer.

When i transitioned mobileme to icloud, not all of my e-mails transferred. How can I access the emails that did not transition>

From your backup.

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

HT5622 I did not choose "use icloud" option for my initial setup. so, it is creating for not enough space in my ipad. How do I go back and set up icloud to store data?

I did not choose "use icloud" option for storing during my initial setup. How can I reset icloud account, so it can be used for storing.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you are planning on using iCloud to store files, forget about iCloud and use a cloud storage service like SkyDrive or Dropbox. iCloud is focused on information sync between the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac and PC instead of storing files like MobileMe. It's not worth using iCloud for this.
If you still want to set up iCloud, open Settings > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID and follow its steps

I did not know about iCloud until after my iPad2 was stolen but I have the serial number so is there any way Apple/iCoud can help trace it when the thief logs into Apple's website /store etc? Thanks

I did not know about iCloud until after my iPad2 was stolen but I know the serial number so is there any hope the thief can be tracked when he or she logs in to the Apple store etc? thanks

iOS devices cannnot be tracked or located with just the serial number. Unless you shared your Apple ID and password with anyone, then your account cannot be accessed at the iTunes Store.

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

After installing the 64 bit version of itunes my iphone still won't sync. I get the explantation that I mobile driver application did not download and i need to remove and reinstall itunes (which I have done numberous times). Any help?

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

When I updated by iphone with IOS7, my calendar entries did not follow the icloud. I am only showing pre set calendar entries for the year?

When I updated by iphone with IOS7, my calendar entries did not follow the icloud. I am only showing pre set calendar entries for the year and lost all other calendar entrie and it will not take any new entries. They show up in my outlook, but not on my iphone, which they did before I updated my software to the new i0s7

Before syncing, select each calendar on your Mac and back it up by going to File>Export>Export. If anything goes missing, you can use these to restore your calendars.
Have you tried simply force closing the calendar app on your iPhone? To do this, double-tap the home button, locate the calendar app, then swipe up on the image above the app icloud to close it and tap the home bottom. Then test your calendar again.

HT5361 Upgrade 10.6.8 to 10.8.4; Mail did not keep all my mailboxes

When I upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.8.4,Mail did not set up all my mailboxes and now I cannot find messages stored in various mailboxes. Where are they ?
Can I get them back (FWIW I also have backed up with Time Macine)

Apple support article.
Restore Mailboxes and their Content
If that doesn't work, in Time Machine go back to Snow Leopard. Look in your Home folder/User Library/Mail and you can navigate to the mailboxes.
By default, your User Library isn't visible in Mountain Lion. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Yosemite Mail do not accept my iCloud password

Yosemite Mail do not accept my iCloud password. Why it does not work?
Web version is working fine.

Hi there.
Since my situation is very similar, rather than start a new thread, I wonder if I could jump on this one for some clarification & to see if I'm okay to proceed with the Tiger instructions you posted.
I'm running 10.4.11 on a 17" Titanium PowerBook G4. I have a .mac e-mail address & I'm using Apple Mail.
I migrated to iCloud several weeks ago & everything's been fine but I haven't been able to get any e-mail through all weekend.
I logged in to iCloud a short while ago & everything seems fine.
So could I ask whether the procedure you linked to works for .mac addresses as well as .me addresses?
Also, can I assume that the messages that are still sitting in my inbox will still be there after I remove the existing account & create the new one, (seeing as they're synchronised with the inbox online), whilst the complex hierarchy of folders I've created locally in the mail client will remain untouched?
Thanks!

Mail will not load in iCloud

am I the only one having this problem? Updated everything:Lion/Safari/iTunes/IOS5 on iphone and ipad. Switched from mobile me to icloud. Cannot get mail. I can sign in to icloud and get calendars/contacts etc but no mail. When I go to mail prefs and icloud prefs, mail is not checked. When I check it it does not save, it unchecks itself. Tried adding my apple id as a new email account as it is not in my ''accounts prefs" in Mail any longer, and it won't let me. So I have not been able to get any of my mac mail since yesterday. My gmail is fine.
Can anyone help? My business relies on this mail. I had a feeling this icloud/mobile me was not going to work.

The excat same issue. It deselects itself in the preferences and on icould.com it just wont load.

Mail and notes request an icloud email address

Although I have set up an iCloud account a while ago I have yet not been using it.
After installing OS X 10.8.2 and IOS 6 on my MBA and iDevices I decided to have a look at iCloud.
I logged on iCloud .com and accessed to the main window. All but Mail and Notes were working.
Those two are asking me to provide an iCloud.com valid email address.
I do have a "me.com" email account, but it does not take it as it forces an icloud.com extension.
If I try to create an icloud address it refuses it as it says it's already being used.
I really do not understand the problem I am facing.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, and help me have iCloud up and running.
Thanks In advance

Thank you for your help.
I start to understand the issue. My iCloud account is [email protected]
I did what you suggested and logged into iCloud with my "me.com" email adress. And Mail and Notes did launch. The issue is that I do not use this account in my everyday work.
Does that mean that iCloud Mail and Notes request an 'me.com' address to work. That seemms strange and confusing since the other services do accept the 'orange.fr' address.
Is there a workaround? I should not be the only one using iCloud with my Internet provider address.
Looking forward to reading your suggestions.
Thanks

I have a client that did not migrate to iCloud from MobileMe when the time was right.

I got control of her AppleID and got that working again. I then setup iCloud on her MBP (running 10.7.4). In Outlook, I updated her Mac mail settings to the new iCloud IMAP settings. It returned a "updating IMAP cache" and decremented her mailfolder. After it finished, I expected it to reconnect and re-download her old mail. It did not. The mail is missing. The mail folders present as a brand new account with zero history. Her iPhone is not updated yet, so she can still browse a partial record of what was in that account.
Does anyone have words of wisdom on how to recover from this or how best to get the mail to appear on iCloud?
Thanks.

As she did not migrate before 1 August the account has been deleted together with all the data in it, including emails and anything which was in the iDisk: this data is not recoverable by any means.
You say the iPhone has a cached copy of some of the emails. Don't update the iPhone to connect to the iCloud account or you will wipe them. You need to move them from being under MobileMe to being held on the phone. Unfortunately as I don't have an iPhone I can't advise on the specific process, but doubtless someone will chip in on this: you could also ask in the iPhone forum.
Once you've got them held locally you can connect the phone to iCloud, and then move them back to being on iCloud.

HT201318 I did not renew my iCloud account, and it's gone, how do I renew

Ok, I have to admit, I got the emails, but never really read them..... so I don't have an iCloud account anymore..... help - how do I get it back?

Are you talking about iCloud or MobileMe? MobileMe closed almost a year ago and you should have migrated to iCloud befire 1 August. If you did, then your emails, calendars and contacts (though not the contents of your iDisk) would have been transferred to an iCloud account - as said, this is free and continuing without your needing to renew it.
If you did not migrate a MobileMe then its entire contents are now deleted and not recoverable by any means. You can sign into System Preferences (or settings)>iCloud (10.7.2 or iOS5/6 required) with your ex-MobileMe address to open a new iCloud account but obviously it won't contain any data previously held on MobileMe.

Mail did not move, and is now blocked

Yesterday, when I bought my iPad 2 mail worked fine.
Today I found out that it did not move from portrait into landscape.
Now it does not work at all; I cannot go to another mail or delete a message.
Does anybody know how to solve that?
Thanks.

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
For the iPad not rotating, is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
