Switching to iCloud

I am looking to switch to iCloud as my host for my calendar, contacts, mail, etc. As such, with such a limited amount of space, I am wondering how much the iCloud calendar takes up -- especially if you are someone with a lot of events in your calendar?
Thanks!

No more than 24 MB as that is the maximum limit for calendar enteries and reminders combined, not including attachments (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4489). You may, however, have problems importing yourcalendar to iCloud from your current host as there is not import option for calendars at icloud.com. You would have to export your calendar as an .ics file, then import it to iCloud by importing it to a computer that was sycncing calendars with iCloud.

I think this will help me achieve this? Am i right? Is there any body out there right now that could help me? I'm thinking about going from 8.1.3 to I guess yosemite? Or is that for Mac computers? I don't understand the language entirely on the help page. Anyone's straight forward and easy stepped advice would be much appreciated. I'm so frustrated and I need a job so badly! Drowning in debt. Any help appreciated!
Thanks,

You do a restore as new to wipe the iPhone then at the end of restore you will be asked to restore from backup. Choose your iPhone backup.
Note you cannot restore an IOS newer than the IOS on iPhone, you need to update iPhone first.

I am having trouble switching to iCloud. I've upgrade my iPhone software to iOS5, but when I try to upgrade my Macbook software OS 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2 it says I need "Core 2, Duo, Core i3, i5, i7, or Xeon processor. $$%^

I need HELP switching to iCloud. So many obstacles. . I've upgrade my iPhone software to iOS5 (now I have to get the software in my car upgraded because the iPHone won't play music through the system...another subject.) For iCloud on my Macbook, when I try to upgrade my Macbook software OS 10.6.8 to Lion 10.7.2 (required for iCloud) it says I need "Core 2, Duo, Core i3, i5, i7, or Xeon processor. Does this mean I need a new computer!!! I 2 Ghz Intel core duo is what I have (a 2006, really, macbook -- which I use with a large screen). (How do I find the answer here? -- any answers there would be SOOOO appreciated) thank you!

It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. You should not expect people to email you - this is an open forum.
I'm afraid your Mac cannot be upgraded to Lion, and thus is not compliant with iCloud. The only option you have there is to set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email, but the other facilities won't work.

I want to switch FROM iCloud to Google Calendar

So, I've discovered that I'm not terribly fond of the iCloud calendar. I used the MobileMe calendar for forever, but with the switch to iCloud, I'm just done. My work uses Google calendar, so I want to switch to that, but I don't want to have to re-input all of my appointments/meetings. Is there a way to sync my iCloud calendar with Google-- even just on a one time basis? I see lots of posts regarding going the other way, but not leaving iCloud. I will continue to use iCloud for email-- I just want to switch the calendar. Also, I don't want to use iCal, but Google's GooCal instead.
Oh, BTW, I don't know if it matters, but I have an iMac, an iPhone, and iPad at home and a PowerBook at work (complete with 5 million firewalls and filters-- I work in the public schools). I access my calendar from all of my devices-- and I need to be able to share my "home" calendar with my husband...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud not longer show up in my Mail program. How do I return to one account and see my folders on my mac?

I went to Notes. Showed all notes. Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud. I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed. It did. I deleted the other two notes. I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts. The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account. The warning comes up: This will delete all IMAP notes on your device. Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?

My first impressions of iCloud are not favorable.

I'm on OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) with Mac Mail 4.5.
Will deleting a .mac account in Mac Mail lose all saved emails, drafts, etc? I'm afraid of losing all my stuff.
I just switched to iCloud last night and now I can access my mail only through the iCloud web interface. Mac Mail will not work with my .mac email account. But it still works for my other non-Apple addresses.

You need 10.7.2 to run iCloud, but there are ways to manually setup email on 10.6.8, and if you want contacts & calendars in addition to email that also can be done, but not for free.
Here is a how to for mail.
If you want to use the contacts and calendars post back.

Switching to Icloud with Iphoto 6

My MacBook (from 2007) has Iphoto 6 on it - can I switch to Icloud? (the photos on my MobileMe are not already in Iphoto due to a system crash)

No. You need iPhoto 11 v9.2.2 to use any of the iCLoud features.
Note too that iCloud is very different from MobileMe - no web galleries for a start.

I have recently switched to icloud. Lately I have not been able to receive emails. A msg comes up asking me toat reenter password. Perhaps I am entering the wrong password and have forgotten what it is. How can I find my old password or change it?

If it was setup using your iPhone and your Apple ID then as far as the iCloud team will be able to find out, you set it up. Passwords cannot be retrieved.
Change all passwords on accounts associated with your iPhone.

I switched to iCloud today and my contacts from Mobil me did not transfere to I Cloud can't get back into Mobil me to retrive them how do I get them?

Switched to iCloud from Mobil Me today and my contacts did not transfere over I want my contacts what do I do?

According to the trms of the iTunes and app stores - all sales are final. but that doe not mean that you can't try anyway. People ask for refunds all the time. Use the Express Lane email to contact iTunes.

You can still download the other movies in iTunes on your computer. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. You can download them in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad later. When you are done watching the first movie, you can transfer it into iTunes on your computer, delete it from the iPad and you will have the room for another movie on the device. To transfer the movie when you are done with it, you can use the transfer purchases feature.

If the photos that you lost were photos that you took with the iPad, they should be in your iPad backup - if you sync with iTunes or if you backup with iCloud.

Switch to iCloud and apps storage on my Mac

Does the switch to iCloud means that apps will not be stored anymore on my Mac, so I will gain storage place ?
Kind regards

That's odd. You will probably have to contact Apple support on this one. I'm not sure if their is a problem with your account or a server glitch at their end but in either case, they will probably have to look into it for you. You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

If I switch to ICloud mail how do I notify everyone of the change?

[email protected] (current email)

You would have to email everyone you know using the new account so that they can add the email address to their contacts.

What's The Point Of The Documents Switch In iCloud Preferences?

According to the help pages on iCloud.com, OS X users must manually upload and download documents as they wish to edit them. This is different from iOS devices as they get the latest version automatically pushed to them.
What's the point of the of the Documents switch in iCloud preferences if nothing happens automatically?

It's a pain uploading and downloading from iworks.com
To me it's a step backwards from using iDisk, Apple needs to sort it out really
