Problems having my iCloud account on Mail (with Snow Leopard)!

I have contacted apple store, apple office in Norway and went on chat with MobileMe support, but so far, I am not able to have my iCloud again on my MAIL since it disappeared yesterday. I am a bit upset and it would be great if there is any solution other than what MobileMe support told me (to check this website: http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmail.html)! If there is no other solution, then it is good for me to know that and stop trying. Also if there is no solution then I rather phase out of iCloud and not continue with their service.
Please ideas would be great.

Hi ..
You need to upgrade to Lion v10.7.2 Lion in order to use iCloud. It's not possible to enable iCloud on a Mac running v10.6.x Snow Leopard.

You can still use your MobileMe account until June 30, 2012. Launch Mail from the Dock.

Hi b,
Have you restarted yet?

In Mail with Snow Leopard you could number your e-mails. Can this be done with Lion?

If you're referring to desktop icons, right click on the desktop > Show view options > check "show item information".

Who can give the right information to receive my email via iCloud on a iMac with Snow Leopard? It can't be upgraded to Lion.

I still have problems since migrating to iCloud with receiving email through my Mail app on my iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (and it can't be upgraded to Lion). Like I found on different places on internet, in Mail Preferences I made a new account, once with imap.mail.me.com and once with p02-imap.mail.me.com, like differently advised. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, untill I fill in again and again the advised changes in the Preferences.
Is there a good advise arround to have my settings once and for all running well, as I expect from Apple stuff? Is Apple listening to the many complaints on this iCloud matter, or is my Apple Micro becoming too Soft to be heard?
Thank you beforehand for helping me (and many others). Best regards,
Jerome from Belgium

Dear Roger and all interested,
Right you are with stating you can't have MobileMe and iCloud at the same time. To explain the history of my problem:
I have a small network of 3 computers: 1) MacBook Air 1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - 2) iMac 2.66 GHz Intel Core i5 - 3) iMac 2 GHz Intel Core Duo
For the first time hesitating to upgrade as soon as a new system is available, a friend nevertheless could convince me of the usefullness of Lion and iCloud. During upgrading process I found out that my - 3) iMac just was narrowly to "old" for Lion.
And indeed the migration from MobileMe to iCloud went almost automatically. But quite soon I established that my "old" iMac was no more receiving @mac.com mail. Having a look to the preferences of Mail, I couldn't change anything as I had no more MobileMe access, being migrated to iCloud. Apple information told me to select "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" in the System Preferences, but Snow Leopard has no such thing.
Search on internet told me more or less how to set up an IMAP account in Snow Leopard in Mail preferences with as server address "imap.mail.me.com" with SSL on and use of port 993. This shortly worked. After restart no more. Setting up the account again and again, sometimes working, sometimes not. This is not exactly an almost automatically migration. Some other information told me to use "p02-imap.mail.me.com".
Current situation: after start up, a window from Mail asks me to give my password for the account on the MobileMe IMAP-server "mail.me.com" (which I expected to be "p02-imap.mail.me.com"). Password not accepted, retry and retry, then just click on Cancel. Result: iCloud account has a kind of lightning symbol next to it (= not working). I click on the symbol, one time it disappears and the account works, one time it asks for the password again, and again not accepted. Repeating this procedure untill it works. So for 3 days I realized to make it finally working up to now, but all this does not look to be the right way and doesn't sound a too reassuring situation to me.
When I look at Mail preferences in Snow Leopard now:
Account Type: MobileMe IMAP
Incoming Mail Server: mail.me.com (expected here p02-imap.mail.me.com)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): p02-imap.mail.me.com
(Advanced) Authentication: Apple Token
What I find in preferences (automatically established) on my Lion computers:
Account Type: iCloud IMAP
Incoming Mail Server: p99-imap.mail.me.com (shows grey)
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.me.com
(Advanced) Authentication: Password (no Apple Token option)
So I tried to make Snow Leopard Mail similar based on the Lion preferences:
Account Type: MobileMe IMAP (found no way to change to iCloud IMAP)
Incoming Mail Server: mail.me.com (shows grey, found no way to change to "p99-imap.mail.me.com")
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.me.com
(Advanced) Authentication: Password (no Apple Token option)
Same result as before: asks for password, which I have to cancel, then click away the lightning symbol, after which it works (but perhaps not tomorrow).

How do I add 2003 Exchange account to Mail using Snow Leopard

I have my Exchange 2003 account working on my iPhone perfectly. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and would like to add the account to Mail. When I go through the set-up it asks me different info than the iPhone did. I've tried several possibilities without success. Is Exchange 2003 functional with SL in Mail?

I believe Mail requires 2007, the same as the EWS version of Entourage.
Microsoft Exchange Server: Connectivity to Update Rollup 4 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (KB952580) or later version.
Update Rollup 4 for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (KB952580) must be applied to both the Mailbox server and the Client Access server roles.

Word attachments does not work in mail with Snow Leopard

I have installed Snow Leopard - and now I cannot attach word files to my mail (it seems as if word files in 2008 format work but not the .doc). I click the file just to find out if it is the right one I have attached - this leaves me with a message tat the file cannot be opened by Mail.
What can I do?

It is a known problem, and bug report has been filed about not being able to open some files in the Compose window while preparing a message. Hopefully will be fixed by the next update. Is there another dimension to the problem you are reporting? If you save the message as a Draft, close, and then reopen from the Draft mailbox, does the file then open?

Pop Account Password issues with Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Loeopard my mail account will not accept my password, every time I connect with Mail it comes up with an error message stating that the pop server hasn't accepted my password - Help

Same with me, the entire Modifier Keys settings pane for the Apple Keyboard does nothing, not just the Caps Lock setting. It works fine for the built-in MacBook Pro keyboard, but not for the external USB Apple keyboard. This worked perfectly fine on Leopard, but after upgrading to Snow Leopard it doesn't. How'd they break this??!

Can i download icloud on my mac with snow leopard?

Where do i find the icloud download for my mac?

You can't download it - you need Lion (which includes icloud); you can purchase it at the app store as long as your iMac is a Core 2 Duo and has a minimum 2 GB RAM - mind you, that is an absolute minimum: 4 GB would be much better.

Apple Mail on Snow Leopard 1.6.8

I'm aware this subject isn't new but still I find no solutions ....
Hence, very many thanks to anyone who will help me to solve this substantial problem
Since the unfortunate invention of Icloud my Apple Mail on Snow Leopard 1.6.8 no longer work properly.
My machine:
Model Name:          Mac Pro
Model Identifier:          MacPro4,1
Processor Name:          Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          3,32 GHz
RAM 16 GB (Apple Original)
Mail should take care of my me.com accounts, but I also have other accounts located elsewhere with a different suffix (.it, co.uk)
I tried to set up Snow Leopard Mail following every single help tread here and at other websites. None of which seems to work properly, and the variety of "helps" simply tells me there is no "sound" system to use Snow Leopard with the current Apple Email set-up.
Yet "randomly" Mail will stop loading my "me.com" mail opening an error message telling me the "me.com" certificate is no longer trustable.ù
I instructed Apple Mail to "trust" the certificate, but this option does not work, or at least only works randomly.
Mails also never recognizes and loads messages from my other suffix adresses. It enters in an endless connection asking to verify either my User or pass, to finally put these accounts offline. Using Safari with my user and pass (the same as in Apple Mail) everythings works well.
More: if I am working on something else (Long Photoshop Actions, Final Cut Pro rendering and more), this window message halts everything.
This problem is serious, as I usually performed this work at night. or when I don't need to stare at a screen doing nothing.
I erased my computer with the 32 zero pass options and reinstalled the original Snow Leo system (MAC OS X 10.6.2) and this problem vanishes.
As soon as I update with the Combo Upgrade the problem begins again.
My upgrades are always "fresh updates" both as a direct update from the apple menu/Software update, or downloading the combo as dmg to then install.
The result is exactly the same.
I received a fresh copy from the local Apple Store in case my original had some magical problems, but nothing changed.
Yet I can't simply use SL 10.6.2 (the original software I got with the Machine) as many programs I paid for require the latest Snow Leopard.
While I could use another drive with SL 10.6.2, just for the Mail, is really a problem to reboot, to reboot again to continue my work.
In my heart I certainly believe email these days is a "public service" especially after paying thousand dollars over the years, and Apple policy to force user to purchase their latest machines and or, waste time to reconstruct their previous work to adpat it to their industrial policy is simply not fair.
While I understand and support advances in technology and so on, I believe this going forward shouldn't be done at the expenses of the customers, but "freedom of choice" is parts of all constitution as introduced centuries ago in the US.
I read in various site Apple was planning a Snow Leopard 10.6.9 version, but so far nothing happened. Maybe this project was dismissed.
Loosing important emails is a superior problem for my work.
I "have" to use Snow Leopard because I need the Rosetta function Apple discontinued in Lion and Mountain Lion.
Some readers might dislike this post, yet I used Apple since Apple II, I bought at least 100 machines since, I went through the various software/hardware changes, with ease. I believe my current anger is legitimate.
Can someone please help?

you can save a little time - since Mail is one of the Optional Install items found by running the same-named installer within the folder on the DVD. you'll still need the 10.6.7 combo afterwards.

Is the 2G iPod Nano compatible with Snow Leopard?

I have an iPod Nano 2G that was working fine with my Powerbook running Tiger. The PB finally bit the dust and I'm now the proud owner of a shiney new 13" MBP. Unfortunately, when I plug in the iPod, it does not show up in iTunes. When I plug it in, the iPod Nano appears on my desktop and iTunes starts up, but the iPod does not appear in iTunes.
I am able to sync an iPod Touch on this same machine without any problems.
Is the 2G Nano compatible with Snow Leopard?

Yes, it's compatible. Try using Disk Utility to reformat the Nano to see if that helps. Here are instructions on how to reformat your iPod using Disk Utility.

Macam does not record with Snow Leopard

Is there a fix to the problem that my Macam doesn't record with Snow Leopard? I assume it has something to do with the new QuickTime. Here's a link to the camera I use.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iMovie. There's a iMovie Support Community where everybody has iMovie. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/imovie

I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
Any suggestions?

TS4002 Incorrect Mail count on iCloud account in Mail on MacBook Pro only; running Lion

My iCloud account in Mail always displays 1 unread email message even when all are read or if there are multiple unread emails. The iCloud account on the iPhone displays the read email count correctly. iCloud mail works properly in every other aspect.

Actually, when you choose the "Unread Mail only" option it removed the ability to pick which mailbox to designate, so it chose all mail messages, even those I had in imported mailboxes and are offline. I had to go in and mark all of those as "read" even though they were offline, (during the "archive" process it remarked all of them as unread) so that I could eliminate them as a source of the problem.
This issue occured after I had to do a clean install of Lion a while back due to a problem with the OS install the first time around. I've just lived with it. I just upgraded to iOS6 on my iPhone and was building the courage to install Mountain Lion. I figured I should resolve the iCloud problem before I went down that road.
I want to avoid having to go through the clean install process again.

I have an IPad mini and I changed the Apple ID and the password almost one year ago and, for a while, a message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops- up constantly. My ICloud account is registered with an old email address and password. I do not remember the password to my ICloud account, and ID address that my ICloud account is registered under is an old email adress which is deleted right now (the old mail account is deleted). I don’t have a rescue email adress and I don’t know the answers to the security questions, so I have no way of changing the ICloud password. A message asking me to sign in to ICloud pops up constantly, but I always just hit cancel. However, now I am unable to access Find My IPad. How do I get my ICloud account changed and registered to be under my current Apple ID (email) and password? It is possible to set the device as New Ipad?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Why would you delete your iCloud account for a password change with your Yahoo account?
Regardless, if no problem re-creating your iCloud account on your iPad, contact Yahoo technical support.
