Moving Moblie Me to iCloud

I already have an iCloud account set up with my Apple ID which is my @yahoo account, NOT @me. When I go to move my moble me account to iCloud, it is creating a new account for me, or so it seems... I don't want a new iCloud account, I just want to transfer the info to the existing one.... Am I totally off here???
I'm scared to go through with it and lose everything!
Thanks.

You can't merge accounts. If you already had a MobileMe account, you should've moved that to iCloud, not started a new iCloud account.
If you want to retain your @me.com email address, you will have to use your MobileMe account, and move it to iCloud.

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts- 18 movies need to go-.

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts… 18 plus movies need to go…. Thank you.

Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

I have no idea whether there is a causal relationship but since moving to Lion and iCloud, my iMac has become so unresponsive that I wind up having to crash and restart most of the time. This is true regardless of the app I am using at the time.
The specs of this iMac are:
iMac 27 inch, late 2009 model with a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gig 1067 Mhz DDR3, using OSX Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
I have Mackeeper installed and according to the scans I have run, everything is fine. No virus, no junk files . . . no problems at all . . .
Except that for all practical purposes, my computer isn't working.
I am nearly totally deaf and live in an isolated, rural area of NW Missouri and this computer is what I mainly rely on to contact friends, relatives and business associtates!
Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.

Unfortunately there is little you can do, Lion will not run on your machine.
However it is possible to access some features of iClould while staying with SL. If you go to iCloud you will see the web interface for the cloud.
Some but not all functionality is here. Check it out and see if it meets your needs.

Since moving to a stupid iCloud email address my message on my macbook won't work!!

<Edited by Host>

So FYI, if it's any of your business lizdance40. One thing is, if your not to give me Advise on my problem then why waste my time responding.
So here is the details.
I got an iCloud account a year ago and used all same info on my Apple ID. So my email account got hacked into about 8 months ago and I decided to get a new email on Gmail. Old one was a yahoo email. So as I tried changing everything over like iCloud and Apple ID I got a message on my iPhone to enter my password. We'll I did and it wouldn't work at all. So I tried to have the password email it to my old email account that I canceled. So I got in to it and no email was sent to that account at all. Then I went to change it all in iCloud and it asked me to answer questions to reset my password. The first question was my birthdate. I filled it in and it didn't let me in saying it was invaded date. So I informed the genus bar and they said to cancel that account because it sounds like it has been hacked into. So I have been trying to and add another one to my phone it it will not let me now. So there lizdance40. Now can you help me or tell me how stupid I am only?

Moved from MobileMe to iCloud

I just moved from MobileMe to iCloud and in Mail, my iCloud Inbox shows I have -1 new emails...How is this possible...It's just annoyance...How do I fix this?
Thanks!

I am using iCloud, been on it for weeks and the calendars and contacts work for me but they don't work for my wife's profile. I am running 10.7.2 on our MacBook and our iMac desktop. We have a lot of devices and I'm struggling to get them all on the same page. We each have our own iPhones and we share an iPad, so that's five total devices I'm trying to sync via iCloud.
Specifically, she updates contacts on iPhone and they never sync with desktop... its been weeks and they still haven't synced. when I go to iTunes the options are the same as I did for my profile...
any ideas?

Yesterday I moved from MobileMe to iCloud. Everything moved. Today I entered new events on my iPhone and they synced to iCloud, but not to iCal on my MacBook. Any thoughts as to why?

TS4002 After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

Welcome to the Apple community.
Your address book should have migrated along with your move. If it hasn't go to groups, in "on my mac" group select all the contacts that appear on the right-hand side and drag them to your "iCloud" group.
Once you have done this you can then delete the contacts from your "on my mac" group.

I have PC with Windows 7 and iPad. My music in iTunes on PC is available under Music on iPad but having trouble moving music to i-Cloud. I suceed in moving the music to iCloud on PC but when I look at iPad music still on device and not in iCloud. Help?

I am a beginner using Apple software, so please bare with me.
I am having trouble moving music from the iPad to iCloud in order to save space in the device.
I realise that in order to store music not purchased on iTunes store can only be stored in iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match which I have done.
Appears that moving music from iTunes on my PC to iCloud is successful by deleting song or album in iTunes library and than click on "Keep song" instead of sending to recycle bin. After this has been done the Cloud Icon appears on the album or against the song. However when I then look at Music on the iPad the album or song have not been moved to iCloud. I have tried syncronising with cable connected between PC and iPad. After that has been done the message is that sync was successful bujt still music has not been moved into the Cloud.
Can anybody help? What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to move the music to the cloud working on the iPad only (without trying to use the PC to move the music to the cloud)?

You can only add music to iTunes Match from your iTunes library on your computer, not from your iOS device. If you have music on your iPad that is not on your computer, you'll have to import it to your iTunes library on your computer to add it to iTunes Match.
Music purchased from the iTunes store can be imported directly to your iTunes library by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting the iPad to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. Music from other sources will require using 3rd party software to transfer to your computer, such as Touch Copy.

Moving a folder in iCloud to my HD

I have several folders in iCloud that I want to move to my HD for storage. How do I do that without moving each document separately? I am using fully up to date everything.

There isn't a streamlined way of doing this at the moment. However, all iCloud documents are cached to your hard drive anyway, so you can manipulate them there.
Go to your Library folder (hold the Option key, click the Go menu in Finder, and click Library), and navigate into MobileDocuments. There's a subfolder for each app (e.g. Pages is "com~apple~Pages" etc) and within that folder are your documents and "real" folders. You can copy, delete or rename from here.
Of course, this isn't how your iCloud documents are intended to be accessed, so be careful not to rename, move, or delete any of the higher-level folders.

I have moved my mail to icloud, now how do I get my contacts there? I have an imac.

I use an imac and have moved my mail account (mobile me) to icloud. How do I view my contacts, (address book) from icloud without typing them all over again?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If your contacts are correctly synced, then as you start to type the address in the address line of an e-mail it will auto complete.
If this is not happening, check that your contacts are synced properly, and that you have contact syncing turned on in your system preferences >Icloud settings.

Issues since I moved from MobleMe to iCloud; e.g. synch with Apple TV, sending photos on e-mail, etc.

I have an Apple TV, an iPhone, a MacBook, a mini iPad and aTime Machine. I use my Time Machine as a wireless router. Since I switched from MobleMe to ICloud, I have had all kinds of issues. Example: things don't always synch. Have not been able to see recent photos I downloaded from iPhone and a digital camera on my Apple TV.
I have trouble sending i-photos to e-mail, synching with Apple TV, or moving photos to Flicker. When I send photos via eMail it still shows my address as <MobleMe [email protected]>. Then I troubleshooted. I thought I fixed it by fully migrating to iCloud, as it gave me message that it still allowed me to move photos to iCloud, even though MobleMe was no longer functional. But, it did it again when I tried to send iPhotos. It showed my address in the e-mail sender field as MobleMe <[email protected]>, but it still gave me same error message that I could not send it. There is a drop down in the field, but there are no other options, not can I change it. How do I get rid of the MobleMe before my e-mail @mac.com address?

The problem is with your router, so the Apple supprot forum can not really help. If they are connecting to the same router it should not matter if you use WiFi or eithernet it is the same network either way.

Moving MobileMe address to icloud now

My grandmother never moved her mobileme email address to icloud. We are no longer able to access it and there doesn't appear to be an option to move it over any longer. I called apple directly and the person who answered the phone refused to even transfer me to a department to discuss the problem. Is her email address gone or can it still be recovered?
Btw, I went to icloud.com, entered her email address, and went through the recovery process but it did not work. For the birthdate verification it says the date is wrong (obviously it's not) and for the option to send a password reset to another address nothing ever happens.
So I'm stumped. Advice?

As the MobileMe account was not migrated it has been deleted, including the entire contents of the iDisk and the emails: these are not recoverable by any means.
You can reactivate the email address (but not its previous contents) by going to System Preferences>iCloud on a compliant Mac (Lion 10.7.2 or above) or an iOS5/6 device and signing in with the address, then activating Mail.

HT204150 since moving from mobileme to icloud my calendar and contacts do not sync from my iphone: what should I do

1.Time Machine not configured (in shading)
2. Browse other backup discs (in bold)
3.Open Time Machine preferences (in bold)
That's where you're going wrong. Firstly the syncing method that MobileMe used, which places the icon in the menu bar, is quite different from the iCloud method and is irrelevant. Secondly, you're confusing the Time Machine icon with it.
On this Mac you need to set up in System Preferences>iCloud in the same way, then the syncing is automatic. In iCal on both machines you should see in the Calendar list your calendars listed unrer 'iCloud', and your calendars should be visible at http://icloud.com (and choose Calendar in the welcome screen).
If they aren't visible online, go to http://me.com/calendar - you should not be able to see them there. If you can, you haven't migrated.
