Switching multiple users from mobileme to icloud? do both need to switch at once?

When switvhing from mobileme to icloud with two users on one account, do they both need to switvh at once or can they be done independently?

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you mean a single MobileMe account, with two people sharing it, then yes they both need to start using iCloud at the same time.
If however you mean two people using a family MobileMe account, then no, they can migrate at different times.

Basically, yes.
You can migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud at http://me.com/move even with Snow Leopard - when asked to confirm that you have Lion on your Mac, just lie and say 'yes'.
If you have MobileMe mail set up to collect mail from external POP accounts you should cancel this before migrating, or you may find it still working in iCloud (where it isn't supposed to) and with no way of stopping it. You may find the MobileMe email settings will continue to work for a time after migrating but it will stop eventually so you should not rely on this. You should delete your MobileMe email account from Mail.
You can then set up Mail manually in Snow Leopard to access iCloud email; it's a slight fudge because the 'wizard' will attempt to connect you to MobileMe as soon as you enter an @me.com address. The process, which includes a workaround for this, is described here:

You may be able to sync your calendars to iCloud by means of an unsupported hack, but you cannot sync Contacts or Bookmarks and iCloud's other facilities will not work. This page outlines the situation when you migrate to iCloud, including a link to the calendar hack:

To get the full functions of iCloud you need Lion 10.7.2

before upgrading to Lion, I switched from MobileMe to iCloud. At that time I used my MobileMe user name and password. I purchased additional storage space to 20GB. I was unable to send any emails during this time. After researching, I upgraded to Lion and changed my icloud mail usuer name and password from the original I used from mobileme. How do I get my upgraded storage to my new account. I intend to delete the first one.
Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately you can't, the additional storage belongs to your first account, you can't transfer it.

I seem to have 2 Apple IDs, one on my MacBook Pro and another on my devices. If I switch from MobileMe to iCloud on my Mac (under the apple logo) will my devices work and sync in iCloud. I have no idea how I go 2 IDs

Can I get rid of one ID? How do I do that?

one on my MacBook Pro
That's not an Apple ID. That is your admin account which you can view in System Preferencs > Accounts or Users & Groups.

Just use your current Apple ID when you setup your iCloud account that you use for your devices.

Months ago I switched from "MobileMe" to "iCloud." I continue to get messages saying "Move to iCloud." Does anyone know why this happens? Does anyone know how to stop this?

Months ago I switched from "MobileMe" to "iCloud." I continue to get messages telling me to switch to iCloud. Why? How do I fix this?

Get messages where? Have you signed out in System Preferences>MobileMe? - if you haven't, you should first go to the iDisk pane and stop iDisk sycing if it's running, then go to the Sync pane and stop any syncing, then go to Account and sign out.
if you still get problems, go to (user)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMac and com.apple.idisk, then reboot.

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.

Switching from MobileMe to iCloud, but I can't upgrade to Lion

My iMac is too old to upgrade to Lion, so when I switch from MobileMe to iCloud, I understand that I will no longer be able to use my desktop mail app to retrieve mail, and my calendars and contacts will no longer be in sync with my iPad and iPhone. So when I switch over to iCoud, is there any work-around for this so that I can continue to use the desktop mail app on my iMac or otherwise get mail on my desktop, and keep my mail, calendars and contacts synced between my iMac, iPad and iPhone?

Unfortunately you simply need Lion or Mountain Lion to access these features on your desktop "mac applications".
However! Mail, contacts, calender & reminders, notes, find my iPhone and iWork documents synced with iCloud from an iOS device can currently (and presumably in the future too) be accesed at icloud.com from any browser with scripting enabled.
I do not have an @me or mobile me account myself. So you'll have to login and see if its already set up for you automatically, I assume there is no reason why it wouldn't be, as the mail server is already with Apple.
Other iOS devices that are associated with your Apple ID by activating "Automatic Downloads" which in laymens terms is Apples' iTunes in the Cloud service can have up to 10 devices (max of 5 computers) that will automatically synce iTunes Purchases including Music, Apps and iBooks to all those devices straight from an internet connection without the need for an iTunes sync. But iTunes in the Cloud will not automatically push TV Shows, Movies or Music Videos.
iCloud will also sync everything mentioned before about icloud.com, including Bookmarks and Photo Stream if selected, to any iOS devices setup with iCloud.
I hope that makes sense, for more information on how to setup a device with iCloud read this
Any more questions dont hesitate to ask :]

Download from MobileMe to iCloud CONFUSION.

What exactly is the correct procedure on how to download photos and files from MobileMe (to iCloud)?
Does this mean something needs to be done with iPhoto files? or is it automatic once you sign on to iCloud? (usually the Mac directions are so clear...I am not sure what is going on here at all)
Additionally, if iPhoto files vary on multiple devices, how do ya be sure all photos are saved/downloaded or whatever?
Tx!!!

As I mentioned in your other post, you cannot upload photos to iCloud. You will need to find somewhere else to put them.

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.

How to prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence

Hi,
I have a Java Web Application and for data cache am using coherence 3.5. The same data maybe shared by multiple users which maybe in hundreds. Now how do I prevent multiple users from updating the same data in coherence i.e. is there something in coherence that will only allow one user a time to update. If one user is in a process of updating a data in coherence and some other user also tries to update then the second user should get an error.
Thanks

I have a question on the same line. How can I restrict someone from updating a cache value when I a process is already working on it. I tried locking the cache key but it does not stop other process to update it , it only does not allow other process to get lock on it.
