MobileMe to ICloud Problem No 1

My Wife & I had a family-pack Mobile Me account.
This allowed us to have separate e-mail addresses but a common calendar & address book.
We now have to have separate iCloud accounts to get the mail to sync, so how do we share our address book and calendar ?

If you wish to share both contacts and calendars with each other, you can each log into each others account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail contacts and calendars. If you only wish to share contacts and calendars, just enable these two features and turn the rest off.

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

Problems and questions re merging of MobileMe and iCloud

Please bear with me - this is all rather complicated!
At sometime in my early years with Mac, I signed up for an Apple ID - can't even remember what it was. Many, many years ago at the beginning of the internet, I signed up for another Apple ID - it was <[email protected]>. Later, I bought/signed up for .Mac which later became MobileMe. When I first signed up, I had an Apple ID of <[email protected]>. At some time, I quit using the insightbb email and switched to Mail - my email address became <[email protected]>. Then MobileMe came along and wanted my address to be <[email protected]> but it did allow me to keep the mac.com address. I also had two aliases through MobileMe. I still occasionally need to use the insightbb.com account so while I never sign up for anything using that address, there are a few VERY old accounts I have that use it as it was the address with which I originally signed up. I don't remember which ones in order to change it, so I just keep it active and only rarely get email addressed to the insightbb acc't.
Today, I upgraded to Lion and then to iCloud. I used the "migrate from MobileMe to iCloud" format, and low and behold, it told me that my Apple ID is now <[email protected]>. This is going to cause me BIG problems as there is no way to merge Apple ID's!
My first question is how do I get back my correct AppleID for iCloud?
My second is I now have multiple accounts on my iPhone and iPad. I have an insightbb.com account - must keep it. But I also have my new iCloud account and I still have my MobileMe account. Should I delete these accounts? What has happened to my MobileMe aliases? I have subscriptions using them, too!
Aggghhh!!! I LOVED MobileME! So far, I HATE iCloud! I don't need these complications! Any advice on how to reconcile these problems?

I just got off the phone after an hour with Apple Support. The bottom line is that somehow iCloud has decided to use my .mac address as my Apple ID. Yes, I can change it, but if I do, I lose everything - contacts, mail, bookmarks, calendar - everything. For iTunes and this Community help forum, I will have to continue to use the insightbb Apple ID. They could not figure out how this happened, as for MobileMe, I ALWAYS used the insightbb Apple ID. Gremlins in moving from MobileMe to iCloud.
He did say that Apple is working very hard to figure out how to merge multiple Apple ID's as this is becoming more and more of a problem. So, until they sort it all out, at least I know what to do.

I have an 8 year old G5 / OS X 10.4.11, what kind of problems will I have now switching from Mobileme to iCloud?

You can migrate to iCloud, but the only thing you will be able to do is access email, and you will have toi set Mail up manually to do this:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
This is worth doing to maintain your email address, but you won't be able to sync calendars, contacts or bookmarks. Your calendars and contacts will be removed from MobileMe (though not from your Mac) and won't appear on the iCloud website.

Transfer MobileMe to iCloud - email problem

I transferred from MobileMe to iCloud yesterday
I am using the same .mac address but have changed my AppleID to this as suggested
I now see an iCloud account on all my devices (iMac, iPhone and iPad2)
I receive emails but the inbox only holds one or two messages and then seems to shift them direct to Archive
I can't read archive file on the regular Mail programme - only by going to iCloud.com.
I have not instituted any rules on iCloud but it seems to be behaving as if I have?
Any ideas??
Happy New Year

Same bloody thing here. I've gotten several different errors. iCal invites won't sync from mail to my calendar. My password hasn't changed, I've logged onto iCloud, no problem. Why did't Apple just create a .cloud email addy? On top of this, since Lion, I've seen more spinning coloured wheels and just frozen apps than I care to see. I'm thinking all of this was shoved out the door before it was ready. I regret the upgrade and am seriously thinking of a reinstall to SL. Starting to think I am dealing with Windows. Since the update to the ios, I've lost a chunk of my email. I'm sick of these issues. Please give me software that will allow my Mac Pro and super HS connection work for me. Gawd.

MobileMe to iCloud Transition Problems Still

I have sent the following enquiry to Apple, but before I get my response anybody got any ideas?
I am having major problems with moving my mobileMe ID to iCloud. I last tried it a few moments ago, 23:00 on the 16 October 2011.
Every time I try I get the error saying that the server is too busy and to try again later.
I, then, on the same iMac, signed into my Dad's MobileMe account ([email protected]) and managed to move that to iCloud immediately without any problem, so I do not believe that my problem is still that the servers are too busy. There must be a problem with my account on your system that is preventing me from transitioning to iCloud.
I have tried using both my [email protected] and [email protected] email addresses.
My iMac is running OS 10.7.2 and the latest version of iTunes and all my mobile devices iOS 5.

When I registered with iCoud, I did get an email saying I'd get an extra 20 Gb, but I was on the free trial when they stopped taking new users so I didn't figure I would. But when I switched everything over from MobileMe to iCloud on Thursday, I did see that I had 25 Gb of storage. I used the same Apple ID I registered MobileMe with. By default, iOS 5 uses the ID you use with iTunes, which for me is different than MobileMe. I had to delete the account they created with my old Apple ID that I've had since the beginning and re-enter my MobileMe ID. But the 20 Gb did not show up until I made the switch in my MobileMe account.
Here's the text of the "Welcome to iCloud" email:
"Dear Stephanie,
Congratulations on moving to iCloud. You can continue using [email protected] for email.
One of the great things about iCloud is that it comes with 5GB of free storage for Mail, Documents, and Backup. As a MobileMe member, you also get a complimentary storage upgrade until June 30, 2012. As a reminder, your purchased music, apps, TV shows, and books, as well as your Photo Stream do not count against your iCloud storage.
Sincerely,
Apple"

Problems with calendar sharing from mobileme to icloud

I have changed from mobileme to icloud, and can no longer synch calendars with my older work mac, which is not running on lion, or with my partner, who is still on mobileme and whose older mac is also not running on lion. Is there any way of syncing and sharing calendars across these platforms?

Thanks I will look into it - although it is unfortunate that, having already paid for mobileme and following Apple's exhortations to switch to icloud, I have gone from a smooth to an unsatisfactory situation, and might need to turn to external software to resolve this.
Well, I know what you mean but .... I switched to BusyCal quite a while back for the extra functionality it offered over iCal, and even though I think iCal 'should' do what i want it doesn't, so I quit cutting off my own nose and paid for something that did what I wanted instead.

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.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? no MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone.

Why won't my computer's address book sync ALL of my contacts with my iPhone? No MobileMe, no iCloud, just straight from computer to phone. I have checked all the settings and all seems correct. It simply won't pull in all of the contacts. Last time, it added some new ones, but deleted others.

I found the route of the problem! All the songs under 'On This Phone' are completely grayed out! The only question is now how do I ungray them???

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 .

HT4597 Am I missing a step from MobileMe to iCloud?

MobileMe and iCloud accounts in Mail on my iPhone

In Oct 2011 a user wrote:
"I updated to iCloud and now I have both MobileMe and iCloud accounts in Mail on my iPhone 4s. I don't have the option to delete the MobileMe account so now I have two of the same account under different names. How do I delete the MobileMe and keep the iCloud?"
The following response solved that users issue:
"Open the MobileMe preferences in System Preferences, sign out. Open the Mail, Contacts, Calendars preferences and either turn off the MM account or delete it. The MM account will disappear at the end of June 2012. You can delete any MM account you have currently turned on in your iPhone's settings."
I have the same issue, and that helpful response does not apply in my situation. On my Mac, I am signed out of my MobileMe account; the Mail, Contacts, Calendars preference does not show a MobileMe account, just iCloud.
On my iPhone, Mailboxes in Mail shows my MobileMe address and iCloud entries - both mailboxes/accounts show the same folders and messages. Also, in Settings' Mail, Contacts, Calendars the Accounts does not have a MobileMe entry, just iCloud.
Mailboxes in Mail on my iPad 2, on the other hand, does not show the MobileMe address; it only shows the iCloud entry.
Any recommendations on how to remove the MobileMe entry on my iPhone?

Don't count on it! Both my iPad and iPhone4S are on 5.1 and both are having problems right now!
