So now I have iCloud and MobileMe accounts?

I only recently converted my MobileMe account to an iCloud account when I picked up an iPad running iOS 5.  After following the instructions to complete the process I find I have an iClound email account as: [email protected], I expected to keep my original [email protected] MobileMe email address.  I recently discovered that my old [email protected] email account is still active but must be set up on my iMac and iPad using Mail as a seperate MobileMe account.
I guess I wondering if I missed something during the conversion, specifically a prompt to keep my original email address.  Is anyone aware of a way to consolidate these addresses or to cancel one of them?
Thnk you,
Bob

You didn't convert it properly. The process is to go to http://me.com/move and follow the instructions, logging in with your MobileMe email address. Your email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks will be moved to iCloud; your iDisk will remain on MobileMe.
Your signature says you have 10.5.1; this is not compatible with iCloud - Lion 10.7.2 is required. It's possible to set Mail up manually to access iCloud email but no other iCloud facilities will work. If in fact you have Lion please amend you signature to prevent confusion when you ask a question.

  • I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc but can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account"

    I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc (64bit) but I can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account". I can login on website icloud.com but can not login into iCloud application installed on pc. What's wrong?
    I have tried another free apple ID and logged on. That's funny when I can login with free account and can not login with paid mobileme account!!!!!!

    By the way - the only reason I downloaded iCloud is because Apple deleted the backup option from iTunes.  Since iCloud doesn't work, I guess we have no way to protect our iTunes music collection.  Absolutely stupid.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, unless you know the Apple ID, there is absolutely nothing that can be done, you cannot use your mobile device. You may be able to find your Apple ID at Look up your old and forgotten Apple ID

  • The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.

    The default account option in iOS for contacts is missing; while I have multiple account options for mail and contacts are turned on for iCloud and other accounts.  I previously was able to select between my Microsoft Exchange Contacts (work account) and iCloud (personal), but both those options are now gone.  I tried turning contacts for both off and on and rebooting, but it didn't help.  Any ideas?

    Just a guess but if the exchange account is from your employer, your employer may have installed a security profile to your device preventing you from adding or editing contacts in the exchange account by removing the Default Account setting.  You would need to check with your employer's IT department to confirm this.  You could also test this by adding a Gmail account and turning on contacts syncing with Gmail to see if the setting reappears.

  • I don't have a different payment method so now I have to close an account I've held for 5 years and lose all my content...... am I right?

    So it seems that a LOT of people have been having this problem. (Being...)
    Credit card being declined.
    I have had 2 different indicators from iTunes that something I have done is wrong.
    1. iTunes does not accept my security code.
         -This could be caused by the details held by my card's company/bank not having the corresponding details on file.
         This is not the case.
    2. It mentioned that because my account had been accessed from another source (my iPhone) I now had to re enter my details to continue making purchases (which includes updating apps on iPhone).
    So I re entered my details. Then a notification also came up telling me that I had an outstanding balance that had to be paid (honest mistake though I'd love to know how exactly anyone comes to owe iTunes) and that this particular payment source had been declined and I must enter valid details.
    Well thats weird, because this card IS valid.
    So here's how I see whats happened. I've tried to make a purchase. The payment was processed via my >>>DEBIT<<< MasterCard and was declined because I didn't have enough funds. This is fine. This happens all the time. Its cash. You go to pay for something, "you don't have enough, oh well you don't get the product". Except it would seem that iTunes has seen this as "Your credit card has declined, well, you must be some poor bloke who we may have some problem getting payment from so were going to put a hold on ALL future purchases you try to make on this card."
    Oh, that's okay! I'll just go to my wallet and get another one of my 1,000,000 other credit cards I have and just use that. That's right, I don't have one.
    It would have been fine if iTunes allowed you to just select "none" as a payment method because that way I could re-enter my card details (which now has money in it) and it would be processed just fine. But no. iTunes will no longer accept my card and my account and all of it's apps have been put on hold.
    My only choice seems to be to apply for a credit card for the sake of a 99c app. Brilliant.

    so now I have to close an account I've held for 5 years and lose all my content...... am I right?
    No.
    I suggest you contact iTunes support.
    -> http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and was declined because I didn't have enough funds. This is fine. This happens all the time. Its cash.
    I wouldn't say "this is fine" and it is not cash.
    In many places, attempting to use a debit card with no funds (even if you don't know there are no funds) is fraud and is illegal.

  • HT203167 I have two accounts with itunes, my first one i had a ton of music i downloaded to and now i've lost my password to my yahoo account and its been long enough now they have deleted and recycled my email account, how can i get them back on my accou

    You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

  • Back to my Mac - will it work between iCloud and MobileMe?

    Just updated my MBookPro to Lion so it would work with iCloud and my new 4S. Everything moved over OK but there's one thing I'm concerned about: will Back to My Mac work now between machines that are not part of the iCloud account? I ask this because my Mac Pro at the office is still on Snow Leopard (and may remain that way, since I use it for editing+graphics and prefer to keep it clean and stable) and I use BtMM all the time to look at the MacPro while I'm at home. I took the precaution of logging out of MobileMe on the MacPro before I moved the account to iCloud on my laptop so there wouldn't be any weirdness. I imagine that if I went and logged in on it now I would no longer have the option of using BtMM on the same Apple ID anymore, yes? I have another Apple ID that's still under MobileMe, so I wonder if I could start using that one now on both machines under the old MobileMe system pref and link the two machines back together?

    UPDATE: forget about signing in with a different MobileMe account once you've signed in to iCloud; even though both prefs exist, Lion will NOT let you sign in to both iCloud and MobileMe at the same time, even if they're different accounts.
    Grrrr...guess it's back to Remote Desktop for me.

  • Syncing with iCloud AND MobileMe

    I have 3 Macs, all of them sync to the same MobileMe account. Only one is running Lion (for now). If I move to iCloud on one of my mac, will that mean I will no lover be able to sync to the 2 macs running MobileMe?

    I have the same problem. My MacPro isn't on Lion, as I have lots of software that isn't compatible yet. But I have 10.7.2. on my MacBookPro and iOS5 on my iPhone and iPad.
    I would like to go to iCloud for those devices that are capable to run it, but I do not want to loose sync services for my MacPro which is on 10.6.8. Will iCloud and MobileMe be in sync until 30.06.2012, so I can use them in parallel, or do I have to wait until all computers are updated to Lion?

    You can't setup an iCloud account using a PC. You need a Mac, or an IOS device. You can sign into iCloud on your PC once you open an account.

  • How can i delete my old account .mac since i have iCloud on my account on my iPhone 4s

    How can i delete my old account .mac since i have iCloud on my account on my iPhone 4s
    On my Mail, contacts and calendar in thesystem preferences

    There should be a small + and - in the bottom left cornet of the system preference window. Make sure it's the account you want to delete that is highlighted before clicking on the - button.

  • I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in.  I am told my ID or password is incorrect.  I did change my primary email address.  that is the app ID that is showing.

    How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software?  I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID.  I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air.  Where can i get on-line assistance?

    If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • I recently had to buy a new computer because my other one could not be fixed. I had purchased a lot of music and it was in my iTunes. I did not have iCloud and I would like to have all of my purchased music on my new computer. How do I do that?

    I would like to access my music from my account on another devise because my other one crashed. I do not have iCloud and I need this music on my new devise.

    Anything you purchased from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again, as often as necessary, as long as it still exists in the iTunes Store.

  • Multiple folders created by iCloud and MobileMe in Outlook

    iCloud and MobileMe have created a slew of calendar and contact folders in my Outlook.  Several problems were created. 
    The default calendar and contact list are not the ones opened when Outlook launches.  I have to manually select the iCloud folder in each.  The iCloud contact list is identical to the one that used to be my personal folder contact list (this is good).  The default file folder in Outlook is still the personal (no contacts shown), but I get some scary warning from Outlook if I try to change it to iCloud.
    The personal folder on my computer (even though it exists) shows NO contacts and no calendar entries.  It should show several thousand contacts and be identical to my iCloud contact list (at least starting off).
    Outlook will not let me delete the MobileMe generated calendars or contact lists.  The delete option is grayed out.  In most cases I cannot even open the calendars that MobileMe created.  I get a “The set of folders cannot beopened.  The information store cannot be opened”.
    Any ideas?

    The problem is...I can find each individual folder by using "show in finder"...but I can't find where they all are! I think they may be the thumbnails from iCloud Photos??

  • I did not update in time, now I have problems and I cannot seem to update ical.

    I did not update in time, now I have problems and I cannot seem to update ical. Can someone help guide me?

    Apple said to update ical. I guess I waited too long because my calendars and all my events disappeared. I tried syncing with my iPhone and it deleted my calendars off my iPhone. Double clicking on a calendar invite does not work either, it won't open or populate my ical. I requested an update through Mobileme to get ical working again and nothing..... It does not appear to want to update or start working again. Is this an issue with Apple ical in general?
