MobileMe to iCloud migration

Anyone know if email aliases will be supported when I convert my account to iCloud? How about email only accounts?

Problem with mobileme to iCloud migration

I have transferred (using the tool) everything from Mobileme to iCloud, however now my phone has no contacts and all my calendars are gone?!?!
What can I do to fix this please?

Guys is the only way to fix this best solved by re-syching everything from my MBP - Address Book, and toggling around with the settings that way!?
Funny thing is I do have my Calendars but not my contacts!!!
Is there something I haven't done here??? Please help this is FREAKING me out!

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!

Successful MobileMe to iCloud migration, but iCal now giving error messages

I successfully migrated to iCloud, but when iCal tries to sync I get these two error messages.
iCal couldn't move your calendars to iCloud because an error occurred. Make sure you're connnected to the Internet and then try again.
There are two buttons: Try Again Now or Try Again Later.
I also simultaneously get this message, which will not let me select either choice (the buttons don't work):
The server responded with an error. The request for account "iCloud" failed.
The server responded with "509" to operation CalDAVMigrateToServerQueueableOperation.
The options are "Stay Offline" or "Go Online" but I can't select either button. I click and nothing happens.
I have to select "Try Again Now" or "Try Again Later." And when iCal tries to connect, the error messages appear again. It just keeps repeating every 30 minutes (I have iCal set to sync with iCloud every 30 minutes).
Any ideas? Thanks in advance. This is bugging me out.

This is indeed an unsolved problem.
I also have a persistent "the server responded with 509 to operation CalDAVMigrateToServerQueueableOperation".
I also have this in my system.log:

Do you guys have something like this in your system.log? (use Utilities/Console.app to find out if you aren't command-line savvy).
I have filed a bug at bugreport.apple.com,
Problem ID: 10675237
I suggest you all do the same.
(You might want to reference my problem ID, but I don't know whether your problem is exactly the same I have.)

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

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.

If I upgrade to Lion and migrate MobileMe to iCloud, can I still sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch to my MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo) via USB cable?

I am very reluctantly considering upgrading to Lion and going ahead and migrating MobileMe to iCloud before June 2012. If I upgrade and migrate, will I still be able to sync my 2nd generation iPod Touch via USB cable? Or will these changes force me to get a new iPod that can run iOS 5 because syncing will be nightmarish?

Thanks for your reply. I would prefer to keep using this iPod for a while yet. Cheers!

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.

Instructions for migrating calendars from MobileMe to iCloud

Where can I find instructions for moving a published calendar from MobileMe to iCloud? I've found a few references but most seem out of date re MobileMe and iCloud.
Thanks,
Steve.

Our club has an event calendar which was "published" to MobileMe in the way that has been current for some years. Club members "subscribed" to a provided URL (defined by Apple during the publishing process) which added the club calendar to their own iCal calendars.
We may or may not have migrated to iCal (this is currently being established) but as it happens this may not be an issue as the calendar has only a small number of events each month, and all repeat, so that reconstructing the iCal setup will not be difficult even if the data has been lost.
What is really not clear is how you set up the equivalent of MobileMe's publish/subscribe system when iCal is set up as an iCloud account. The matter of moving an existing calendar has become less important as the picture has clarified somewhat, though there is still confusion due to the fact that many Apple Help documents that we have found lead you on a path that goes back to the obsolete MobileMe instructions.

Airport Extreme no longer recognizes MobileMe after iCloud

After updating my MobileMe to iCloud this weekend I noticed my Airport Extreme was blinking orange. It returned an error that said my MobileMe password was incorrect. I have 'Back to My Mac' enabled under iCloud but apparently it's not compatible with the current Airport software.
One thing I don't know is whether Back to My Mac will work under iCloud without the Apple ID being input into the Airport; I don't have another computer running Lion/iCloud at another location so I can't test it out. Does anyone else know if it still works correctly?

If you are referring to Back to My Mac as it pertains to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), then no, this feature is not supported if you migrated your MobileMe account to iCloud.

HT4929 I have (or had?) 2 alias I followed the instructions to go from MobileMe to iCloud. But the alias stayed on MobileMe server (?) How to get this to iCloud?

I have (or had?) 2 alias My main account is on iCloud. I followed the instructions to go from MobileMe to iCloud. But the alias stayed on MobileMe server (?) How to get this to iCloud? Not possible to put them into icloud as alias. How to keep it working?HELP HELP because people sending me things to this email and since today no excess any more to the mobile me server? And how to move this?????
<Emails Edited by Host>

Firstly, I note that your profile states that you are using OS X 10.5.8, in order to use iCloud on your computer you need OS X 10.7.2 or better.
Secondly, I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Post your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
Finally, are you sure that these additional addresses are aliases and not sub accounts on a family pack, aliases from MobileMe should transfer to an iCloud when you migrate.

Disable Yahoo Sync after iCloud migration

I am getting this pop up and it's driving me bonkers. I don't even use Yahoo sync, but I guess it was turned on when I had MobileMe. After the migration to iCloud, my MobileMe prefs have been disabled and it refers me to the iCloud prefs.
Does anyone know how to turn this off? I tried doing searched but only found solutions that required me to be able to access MobileMe preferences. So, that is a non-working solution after iCloud migration.
Thanks in advance,
Jen

Yes, this also driving me nuts. I gave in and said sync and it disappeared and never came back. Unfortunately, for some reason (possibly unrelated) my trial mobile me (I never paid for it), automatically appeared one day and took over 75% of all my contacts! I didn't know this and so I deleted the old mobile me account from address book which then deleted these contacts and then proceeded to wipe the rest of my devices!
I deleted all accounts off address book and reloaded a contacts back from a *.vcf file I had and presto everything back. As soon as I turned on iCloud sync again, so again did this flipping yahoo sync message appear again!
Is this because of old mobile me accounts even those that were just trials that are messing with apple cloud syncing? I have turned everything off and short of deleting my yahoo account I'm not sure what to try next!

Upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud - do I need to change from Mac OS X 10.6.8?

Do I need to change from mac os x 10.6.8 to upgrade from Mobileme to iCloud?
Please advise
Is OS X Lion different? latest version?
Thanks in anticipation

Basically, yes.
You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html
You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:

To get the full functions of iCloud you need Lion 10.7.2

Massive Spam with MobileMe to iCloud Transition

Since the transition form MobileMe to iCloud, my Mail has been innundated with massive new spam - medication sales and Vimeo false emails are especially numerous these days. Are others experiencing this? iCloud has burst open with a massive spam storm. This deluge of junk mail is unlike anything I have ever seen. I am aftraid if there is no improvement, I may need to migrate yet again. This is intollerable. Curious what others are experiencing.

I have send several mails to [email protected] without any results.
Every day i got a SPAM mail from the same sender ... every day i forwarded that message to Apple.
On my iMac the mail go's to my spam-folder only it apears on my iPhone & iPad.
How to get this spammer out of my mailbox?

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 .
