Trying to switch (late in the game) from MobileMe to ICloud but having problems!

Please advise.
I have a macbookpro which came with mobileme.
I know I am late in the game but I am trying to get my icloud (on my computer) working.
When I go under apple System Preferences under Internet and Wireless only MobileMe is listed (NOT icloud). I am unable to log into MobileMe ... How can I get rid of and/or update to icloud so that I can add my macbook as a device to my icloud?
My iphone seems to be working alright
Please advise and thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you don't have iCloud in system preferences, it's because you have an unsupported operating system. iCloud only comes with OSX 10.7.2 or later.
In addition, the opportunity to upgrade your Mobile Me account to iCloud has passed, the cut off date was 6 months ago. You could still use your Mail address, but you will have lost any data that you had in Mobile Me.

I'm trying to migrate from mobileMe to iCloud but I have Snow Leopard (the latest version). It looks like Lion is no longer available because Mountain Lion comes out next month (July). The problem is mobileMe ends on June 30th. How can I migrate?

My iphone and my ipad are compatible but when I try to go to icloud on my phone it says to do it on my computer.
I would like to have my calendar, contacts, etc.. all sync like they do now. Is there a way to upgrade before June 30th? If not, will the gap be an issue or will I just be able to buy mountain lion and sync everything?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

You can buy Lion in the App Store now, but move to iCloud now. If you wait to Mountain Lion, you will only have Mail in Snow Leopard, so you will lose syncing unless you use Lion or Mountain Lion. It's up to you

I have just upgraded from an iPhone 3Gs to an iPhone 5. I am trying to transfer all my content via icloud but having problems logging in - it keeps telling me the server is not responding. Nano sim hasn't yet been registered - does this affect things?

Have you activated your phone with your carrier yet?

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

How do you restore to last icloud backup on ipad. Trying to retrieve deleted minecraft world (not a deleted app, just the progress on the game) from my last icloud backup.

How do you restroe to last icloud backup on ipad? Trying to retrieve deleted minecraft world (did not dletete app, only the progress on the game) from last icloud backup.

Restore from iCloud Backup
1. Erase all contents and settings (Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings)
2. You'll be asked twice to confirm
3. You'll see Apple logo and progress bar
4. You'll see a big iPad logo on screen
5. Configuration start
6. Set language
7. Set country
8. Enable Location Service
9. Select network, enter password and join network
10. You'll be given 3 options (a) Setup as New iPad (b) Restore from iCloud Backup (c) Restore from iTune Backup
11. Selected Restore from iCloud Backup
12. You'll be required to enter Apple ID and Password
13. Agree to Terms and Conditions
14. Select Backup file
15. You'll see progress bar
16. Red slider will appear; slide to unlock; step #1 to #16 is fast
17. Pre-installed apps will be restored first
18. Message: Purchased apps and media will now be automatically downloaded
19. You'll see a pageful of apps with Waiting/Loading/Installing
20. When the restore process is complete, your device will restart. You should connect the device to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on).

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 :]

I lost all the contacts after the conversion from MobileMe to iCloud ? What can I do now ?

What can I do now ?

Along with checking to see if the documents are still there in the browser, sounds like maybe iCloud turned off on the iPad. You can check in Settings.
Go to Settings.
On the left hand side, go to iCloud and make sure it is on and the "Document & Data" are ON.
Then on the left hand side go to Pages and make sure "Use iCloud" is ON.
Do the same for Numbers and Keynote.
Maybe a long shot, but worth checking.

I moved from MobileMe to iCloud but it stopped my mail on my 3g iPhone How do I work around that until I can buy newer iPhone that runs iCloud?

When I moved my MobileMe account to iCloud on my MBP I knew my iPhone 3G was limited but I didn't think it would be cut off from the icloud services. I still have a GMail account come through on it ok but I really would like my .Mac email to work on it. I am not quite ready to upgrade to 4S (had thought to wait for 5)
any workarounds out there??

Update: I was able to get a genius appt. and they helped set it to work with Caldev etc for ical and same with mail; contacts etc.

If I move from MobileMe to iCloud but don't update my mobile devises to 5.0 will sync of calendars, etc still work?

I don't want to update my mobile devices to 5.0 ( doesn't seem available for my verizon iphone4 to itouch). My question is, if I transfer my mobileme accounts toicloud, will calander, notes, contacts etc still sync and update on my mobile devises?

Yes, if you Restore, when the phone reboots you can say Restore from Backup.

Moving from MobileMe to iCloud

I've just ordered the new 3rd generation iPad and I'm looking ahead to when I will be making the move from MobileMe to iCloud. I have over 5GB of emails and attachments accumulated in folders in the mail.app on my Macbook, which is too old to run OS X 10.7. Are all those old emails going to be moved to iCloud, or just new ones?
Thanks.
RB

Roger,
Thanks for the reply. I think you have essentially answered my question, although indirectly. The emails I was concerned about are no longer on the server, due to having been moved out of the INBOX into other folders. So, if I am understanding correctly the only mail that will get moved to iCloud will be those messages that are still on the mobileme server at the time I initiate the change to iCloud.
From that point on, all new messages (coming via the server) will be pushed to all of my iCloud-able devices (and in a diminished capacity to my Snow Leopard-bound MacBook once I set that up), and all my old messages will reside only on my MacBook.
I appreciate your help!

Transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, need iCal help!

I've made the transition from MobileMe to iCloud. My Macbook's system prefs shows on iCloud account, using my mobileme email. My iCal however, only shows my me.com calendars, while the iCloud.com online calendar only shows the two default calendars. Am I missing something?

I am in EXACTLY the same boat.
Double points to the correct answer!
Good luck Chris.

I just recently purchased a mini iPad for my child. It was set up in the Apple store with my Apple id. I now want to create an Apple id for my child and switch it over, how can I go about that. I already downloaded some of the games from my account.

With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

How to delete the saved score in a game downloaded from app store for my macbook and restart the game from the beginning ? please help

HOW to delete the saved score in a game downloaded from the app store to restart the game from the begining with fresh scores.
i am unable to do so. please help

In system preferences, create a new account again, using the short name of the "deleted" account. You may be prompted to re-use the old home folder. Log out and log in to test it worked. Then log in as your new admin, and do the delete process again. Don't choose to securely delete this time - just a regular delete.
When you have time to spare, go to Disk Utility, and use the Erase tab to securely erase free space on the drive. This will accomplish the same thing that your originally tried to do. Use the fastest method - anything more secure is a waste of time. You may need to run it overnight - it can take several hours.
