Mobile Me to iCloud - is it time to cancel my Mobile Me subscription?

So I'm pretty sure I have made the switch over to iCloud successfully, my iPhone now says iCloud instead of Mobile Me and when I log into the website for Mobile EM it tells me Mail, contacts and claenders are now in iCloud. So that's all good. See as I don't use iDisk and have stopped using Gallery, I have no real need to continue with my Mobilke me subscription, I don't need 25GB of storage (5GB iCloud and 20GB Mobile Me).
So what exactaly happens if I cancel my Mobile Me account and go for a prorata refund? I'll still be able to use my [email protected] address right? My email has been moved over to iCloud right? All I'll lose is Gallery and iDisk.... does this sound correct.
I should really cancel my account though, as it was renewed a week before they announced iCloud, so I'll get a decent bit back....
Thoughts?

Seems I can answer my own question here.
There appears to be some abiguity around the whole prorata refund on cancelled MM accounts.
Here's the deal:
If you cancel your MM account BEFORE an iCloud transistion you will be refunded prorata. However you will of course lose EVERYTHING including your email address.
If you cancel your MM account AFTER an iCloud subscription you get NO refund, as effectively a successful iCloud transistion closes your MM account (except for iDisk and Gallery). But you get to keep your email addresses and emails and whatever else you have associated with your old MM account
Come June the MM account will expire and that will be that...
Some folks aren't going to be happy about this, and I think Apple needed to have been much clearer - but whatever, life's too short and this has been a much better transistion then Mobile Me - so I'm not too p*ssed off..
Still would have been nice to have it spelt out a bit clearer...

How to change mobile me to icloud on mac 10.6.8.

Have tried to change mobile me to icloud a few times. On my mac os x 10.6.8. is still mobile me on it. How can I exchange it?

You will have to upgrade to (at least) Lion, 10.7.5, better would be to upgrade to Mavericks if your Mac can support it.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

How do I control my airport extremes/time capsules w/airport utility over the internet without mobile me? iCloud has disabled this function.

How do I use airport utillity with Time Capsule(or any airport extreme) over the internet without mobile me? iCloud has disabled this function. The mac's that I have not upgraded to icloud still see my routers over the internet with mobile me enabled. Are these routers obsolete now or will there be a firmware update to use icloud?

i want to do the same. i tried entering my @me.com account and does not work, but if I tried to go to icloud.com and using my @me.com works
why?
does the Airport express needs to be upgraded as well

To backup your Cal before you try to merge .me and .iCloud calendars.
I don't know if the .me account settings works like iCloud. In iCloud you can turn off the Calendar from settings by keeping the event in the iPhone's local account. Then you can turn ON calendar in iCloud settings and you will prompted to merge them.

Errors with moving from Mobile me to iCloud - No answer anywhere on the web that I can find!

I'm completely up to date with Lion.
I'm trying to move from Mobile Me to iCloud, but get an "Unable to complete your move to iCloud because of an unexpected server error" message on my Mac Book Pro when I open system preferences, it tries to finish moving me to iCould, but fails and gives me the error message above.
My Mobile Me account status is saying I have been upgraded to iCloud.
I have already successfully completed the move on my iMac and two iPhone 4's?
I have tried repair permissions and deleted the keychain, but the problem still exists!
Can anyone provide a solution? I am getting very frustrtaed, as I have so much stuff to do, I didn't want to waist any time on this issue!

I have found the solution to my issue in this thread - http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1250735
This lead me to the solution for my issue: deleting the ~/Library/Application Support/iCloud/Accounts folder.
I spoke to an Apple MobileMe Support girl and she was useless!
I've wasted over 24 hours trying to sort this issue out - not a happy Apple user!
I hope this helps others - let me know if it does!

Regret updating from Mobile Me to iCloud

Is it my imagination or is iCloud totally disfuntional? Ever since updating to iCloud the iCal apps on my iPad and MacBook Pro are not syncing properly with the calendar in iCloud.
1. Calendar events created on my iPad usually show up in iCloud but sometimes with the wrong date and time. They never show up in iCal on my MacBook Pro
2. Calendar events created on my MacBook Pro don't show up on my iPad nor the calendar in iCloud.
3. Events created in iCloud's calendar show up on my iPad but never iCal on my MacBook Pro.
4. Events created in iCloud's calendar can't be editied within the iCloud calendar.
5. Selecting "Preferences" in the iCloud calendar does nothing.
Anyone else seeing any of the above? Any suggestions as to how this mess can be repaired. Ever since updating from Mobile Me to iCloud, I've had nothing but problems.

Go to www.icloud.com/move and transition the account to iCloud. Please take the time to read the posts listed to the right under 'More Like This' and please take the time to open System Preferences>iCloud to choose services to run. Many users report that you should sign out of Mobile Me in the Mobile Me preference pane or iCloud does not complete its login.

I have my Calendar app syncing with iCloud. Every time I open it it says, "Moving Calendars to Server Account..." It runs and runs and does not stop. As a result, I cannot access my calendars. Please help.

When I swipe phone to open, and hit the phone icon, then make a call, most times it says "calling mobile" but then nothing happens.

Same thing here. I'm getting very frustrated. When I swipe phone to open, and hit the phone icon, then make a call, most times it says "calling mobile" but then nothing happens. Then I try to end the call and hit the END button. Sure, it looks like the call disconnected, but as soon as I try to make another call, I see the same screen (the first called) and the words "calling mobile". The only way I can rememdy this, naturally, is powering off and restarting. But, c'mon...$300 for a phone that you have to power down between calls???
I've got the latest OS update, no jailbreak, or anything exotic on my 4s. What's more, when I try to make a call 2 out of 3 times, the dumb SIRI opens up and stops me from making the call. (and, yes, I have very carefully checked my process that I am not intentionally activating SIRI with my cheek.)
Again, $300 for all this in just trying to make a call?

reset your phonr by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

HT204053 Although I have iCloud, my system preferences still show Mobile.me. I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password. How do I do it?

Although I can access iCloud, my system preferences on my iMac still show Mobile.me. I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password to be consistent with my Apple ID and password. How do I do it?

you need to be running OSX 10.7 or 10.8 to use iCloud i believe. It shows you are using 10.6.8 which doesn't support iCloud.

last thing you can try would be go to settings, general, settings, reset all settings
if that does not work, a factory restore will be needed...

After 1st Gen iPod touch reset, cannot configure mail for Mobile Me or iCloud account

I recently reset my iPod touch 1st Gen, v. 3.1.3 (7E18) and have not been able to configure Mail to check the Mobile Me or iCloud mail server. I get an error msg that the user name or password must be incorrect, but they're not. I assume this is due to the old IOS not being up to date with iCloud technologies, but I was able to get mail on this device before resetting. I don't use it much for email, but do carry it on trips as a backup access device to get to mail and calendars. I dont really want to use Safari to check mail when there is a mail app for doing so.
Any suggestions?
