Problem moving to icloud

Anyone having trouble moving their mobile me account to icloud?  Everytime I try it does not allow me, says the server is too busy... Anyone else experiencing this?

Yep, and I did the following procedure for my iPad, iPhone & both Macs.  THe process is not for you to creat an additional id, but to repoint your id to a different mail server so that you can get access to your mail while apple figures out what they did & how to fix it:
Ok, here is my theroy.   In looking at the settings on the iPhone & iPad under mail/account/advance/outgoing mail server/primary server/
The Server is on (cannot turn it off)
but under Authentication it is set for Apple Token.  Since you cannot turn off the server and change it to id/password I came up with this temp solution until apple comes up with a fix:
I did the following:
under mail
Add Account: (other)
Mail
Add Mail Account
Name (Your Name)
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.mail.me.com
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
Outgiong Mail Server
SMTP smtp.mail.me.com
address (account [email protected])
Password (iCloud Password)
After your done filling out the information hit the next button & it will start to verify.  It my verify sucessfuly or come back & say it was unable to verify.  if the latter, then just hit continue.
Hit the save button & you now have access to your mail.
It worked for me.
Home it works for you

  • I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

    I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
    I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
    Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

  • Cannot send email from mail after moving to iCloud

    I have just moved to iCloud and now I cannot send email but can still receive email

    Hi Judy,
    Problem solved.
    Go into Mail/Acounts and delete you iCloud account.
    Now add a new account and type in your details for MobileMe/iCloud.
    It should now work. O noticed the default server name is different.
    Hope this helps.
    Yours,

  • Duplicated events on iCal after moving to iCloud

    Hi, i just updated mi iphone 4 to iOS5, then updated iTunes, then updated OSX Lion to 10.7.2, then moved to icloud...
    Everything seems to be ok, but there's a problem: my events duplicated on iCal in my macbookpro...
    Every input has cloned itself!
    But, when checking on icloud and on my iphone, no duplicates!
    So... what should i do?, 'cause if i delete a duplicated event from iCal in my computer, leaving only one, the event erases at all in iCloud and in my iPhone...
    Weird.
    Any suggestions?
    I appreciate your time, thank you!

    Hi Jorge. I just went through this entire process. I was able to rid myself of duplicates, however, I am still trying to figure out how to match a hard copy to my Mac without creating duplicates.
    - Make sure you have your events on the Mac
    - Go to iCloud on phone and turn off iCloud on everything (for now). It will tell you it will delete everything off iCloud (this is fine if you have everything you need on your Mac).
    - Go into iTunes on Mac and "turn of Sync with this iPhone over Wi-fi" & check "back up to this computer"
    -Go to info tab in iTunes on Mac. Check sync "contacts" & sync "calendars"
    - While you are in the info tab also check "calendars" & "contacts" in the Replace Information on This iPhone section under Advanced.
    - Synch
    - If everything matches up properly go back to iPhone and turn iCloud back on for what you want
    - Go to iCal on Mac and in the top left hand corner there is a "calendar" button that when you click it, it shows calendars for "On my Mac" and "iCloud".
    - You can delete the "On my Mac" calendars to rid yourself of the duplicates.
    ***This is how I did it. You may be able to just delete the "On my Mac" calendars but I am not sure if that will take them off of iCloud and your iPhone. You can give it a try first as it may be less time consuming.
    So, my issue is still trying to figure out how to keep matching calendars as a backup on Mac without the duplicates. Any takers?

  • ICal issues since moving to iCloud

    I have had nothing but problems with my calendar since moving to iCloud. I have 2 desktops, both at Lion; a MBP at Lion; an iPad and an iPhone, both at iOS 5.x. Items added seem to disappear. On the laptop and desktops, even if I unclick the "on my mac" they continue to display, and are clicked automatically.  Isn't the idea to get everything up on iCloud, and not on my mac at all?
    Part of the frustration may be more associated with iCal itself.  The "create quick event" was the worst change to this app that has ever been implemented, and I've been using iCal and a .mac account since they were first offered.
    In iCal prefs, I only have 2 accounts- the work Exchange acct and my iCloud acct.and in the iCloud control panel, Calendars are checked. What am I missing?
    Thx,

  • I just moved to iCloud and now my email is not working on my non compatible MacBook, but all other devices seem to be working.

    I have several Apple products, some eligible for iCloud and some not.  I was using MobileMe and elected to keep my email address after June 30.  I moved to iCloud and everything seems to be working except for my MacBook that couldn't be upgraded to Lion so not eligible for iCloud.  Now my email doesn't work on that machine.  What's wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

  • Apps don't sync across devices after I moved to iCloud.  I have 1 apple ID (from mobile me) and 1 that use for iTunes

    Apps on my various iPads  and iPhone used to sync automatically.  Whenever I used to buy an apps, it would just automatically appear in all my devices.  I'm not sure what does that, it could have been the MobileMe account, but it was working perfectly until after I moved to iCloud.  Now, apps don't sync anymore.  Calendars, mails and contacts do.  I use 1 apple ID for I cloud and 1 for iTunes because I moved mobile me account to iCloud.  Could someone please help?  This is bugging me and I searched all over the Internet but can't find answer.

    I have the exact same problem. Help!

  • HT4929 I have 2nd generation I-pod which does not meet requirements for ICloud.  However, I was told that after I moved to ICloud if I connected my iPod to my Mac via the USB connection that my calendar and contacts would sync, but this didn't happen.

    I have a 2nd generation Ipod and just moved to Icloud.  I had been told my an Apple tech that although my contacts and calendar would not sync automatically I could connect the Ipod to my Mac via the USB port and ITunes would sync the calendar.  Now I find that this is not happening.  I am not happy that I will have to enter/edit calendar and contact info on two devices.  Is there something I can do to fix this problem?  Thanks.

    one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file.  Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing  even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
    This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer.   Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar.     Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
    Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
    Ideas?

  • HT3915 Why does the mobile me prompt keep popping up when I moved to icloud long ago?

    Why does the Mobile Me prompt telling me I have entered an invalid password keep popping up when I moved to icloud long age?

    go to Tools, add-ons, then only disable java 6.0.22 ONLY, then you have to click on restart. That solved my problem.

    this however might help you as the Palm is more similar to the BB than the iPhone:

  • HT1107 Since Mobile Me is moving to iCloud, how do you publish a domain in iweb with iCloud?

    Hello,
    I am trying to set up iWeb to publish to my own domain, and see info about doing that with Mobile Me, but since Mobile Me is moving to iCloud, how do you set it up with iCloud?  I just want to be able to publish my website directly to my own domain with iWeb.  Thanks!

    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • HT4597 Moving to iCloud resulted in my photos being duplicated in iPhoto.  How do I correct this?

    Moving to iCloud resulted in my photos being duplicated in iPhoto.  How do I correct this?

    I had a worse problem. My iphoto Library just got corrupted. Did you get a message that asked if you want to migrate your MobileMe images to iPhoto? I was foolish to say yes. I think this may be what you did. It really isn't necessary of all your MobileMe Gallery images were originally from iPhoeo in the first place.
    Do yourself a favor and check through a bunch of your images and see if any now have the same name. In my case over 1800 images all got renamed to the same file name. I did a restore from time machine from June 29th and this brought my library back to normal. And my Library was 20 GB larger after it got corrupted too! I don't know what it was but probably a lot of duplicate images and videos.
