Upgrade to iCloud?

Hi. I have two Macs. One is at 10.7.2, the other will keep running Snow Leopard for at least several more months.
I'm using MobileMe to sync stuff between them (Keychains, bookmarks, calendars) as well as the email account.
My question: should I upgrade to iCloud, or should I stay with MobileMe as long as I'm running SL? I don't want to lose the ability to sync.

Stay with MobileMe.
I'm using MobileMe to sync keychains, mail accounts and rules, bookmarks, calendars, address books between Macs running Leopard, Snow Leopard, and iPhones and iPods and it is all working perfect.

How can I upgrade my iCloud account's storage but pay for the upgrade with another Apple ID?

I want to upgrade my iCloud account so that I can back-up my iPhone, however I would like to pay for the upgrade using a different Apple ID than the Apple ID associated with my iCloud account. I can not figure out how to do this, when I hit buy after selecting my desired plan it wants be the buy the upgrade with the Apple ID my iCloud account uses. Please help!

I don't think that's possible. (If you're trying to get it on another credit card, one option would be to purchase an iTunes gift card with it and redeem it to create an iTunes store credit. Storage upgrades will first charge your iTunes store credit before charging your card.)

I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price.

I'm trying to upgrade my iCloud storage for the new price, but it doesn't gives me the option of 20G for $0.99 a month.
How can I get 20g for $0.99 a month?
Thanks!

Katherine,
have you read the message in the panel? Something is wrong with your credit card. Perhaps you have to enter a new date of expiration.
In the small print it says, there is still a purchase, that needs paying,"Ugly Heart" with an amount of R 9.99. And "We were unable to authorise your credit card for this purchase". You will first have to update your Billing Information before you can proceed to make a new purchase for upgraded storage. Click "Account Details" in the iCloud panel.
-- Léonie
If you cannot fix the account from the iCloud panel, open iTunes and sign into the "Store" menu, Then use the "Store > View account" item there to check for problems with your Billing Information.

I can't upgrade to iCloud Drive this morning. How to download an iCloud Numbers file on my Mac today?

Is there any way TODAY to download an iCloud Number document to use on my MacBook Pro's Numbers app?
Yesterday (Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014) I made some updates on an iCloud Numbers document that I use to share data between my Mac at work and my Mac at home.
This morning (Thursday, September 18, 2014), I can't access iCloud Numbers AT ALL.
There was no warning yesterday that I wouldn't be able to access iCloud Numbers.
When I click on Numbers iCloud a popup that tells me to upgrade to iCloud Drive to use it, but warns that I won't be able to use it on any of my devices that aren't upgraded to iOS 8 or Yosemite Beta. My only choices are "Learn more," "Not Now," or "Upgrade now." "Not now" simply puts me back into iCloud.
I'm not in the position TODAY to upgrade all my Macs all at once, especially to a beta operating system (Yosemite).
With no access to iCloud Numbers on either of my Macs, how do I download the latest version of the numbers document to save it?

I was able to send (email) myself a copy of my iCloud Numbers documents through my iPad Numbers app . Thankfully, they were synced, so I didn't lose anything.
This forced beta OS update has got to be a mistake.

I am being asked to upgrade to iCloud Drive but indications are that I will not be able to access up to date details on any of my documents on my Mac without going into iCloud first. Have I got this interpretation right or can I save changes to access the new versions on my iMac?

That is Apple's statement:
Using iWork with iCloud Drive - Apple Support
Options for iWork customers
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive today if you want to keep your documents up to date in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and you want to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature.
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive later if you want to keep your documents up to date with your apps on iOS 7 or earlier and OS X Mavericks or earlier.
Upgrade to iCloud Drive today
To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows and set up iCloud Drive.
If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows, and iCloud.com.
Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.

Can i see a LIST of all the things removed from MobileMe in the upgrade to iCloud?

i have heard so many reports of things changed in MobileMe in the "upgrade" to iCloud, and i want to clarify these prior to switching over (i have already upgraded to iOS5 and 10.7.2) because from what i have heard some of these chages are going to mean a massive LOSS OF INFORMATION!!!
based on how i have been using mobileme for the last 10 years (in it's various incarnations) i have heard that when you update:-
1/ i am going to lose my 100's of photo websites in june 2012 (thanks guys!!)
2/ i am going to lose most of the notes i have added to the over 1500 entries in my AddressBook (and some of those notes are VERY long and perfectly placed since they give me immediate access to data/info on the person/company in AB (this is a TERRIBLE DECISION IF TRUE) becaue apple had given a new charcter limit to Notes
3/ my iphone now does not seem to play anything that was bought from beatport or freebies i have received from DJs (which i belive is linked to the size of the bit rate - some are 14100, rather than the 320 of itunes tracks) and which means i am either going to have to find another music player and/or stop buying music from any one other than itunes <<DUH>>
4/ i have used my mac.com account in itunes to buy a LOT of stuff, different bits of which go on my iphone, ipad, etc (in fact the ipad is used by my mother who would have never ever have bought any apps, so i have adapted the ipad with the apps i think she would like - but i do not want these on my iphone) so am i going to have to repeatedly stop itunes form adding every new purchase from downloading itself to all my apple equipment??????
quite frankly, if all the above is true (and i bet there are more to come ) then it is a ral smack in the face of long time apple users who have bought into the whole iDisk, MobileMe stuff in the past, and who have created a ersonal way of using them - i bought a family pack just so i could put different types of photo website up under my different"family" names - all of which were initially just for me to use!!!!!!!!!!!!
so, please can you publish a list of all the things i am going to lose when i move to the icloud?????????????
sees a fair request, but one which it also seems i have to ask for cos i cannot find a list such as this anywhere on the apple website

You can see a detailed comparison between MobileMe and iCloud, plus general information and some links to Apple Help pages, here:

Question 2 would be best asked as an individual question in the hope of attracting the attention of someone who is in the same situation and can give you a practical answer: question 3 would best be asked in the iPhone forum.

I had an apple ID which I used for iCloud. I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account. How can I get what was stored on the original account?

I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

HT4847 I had to upgrade my iCloud storage plan, but I was still charged for the original $20 a year plan. In addition to the new $40 a year plan. How do I remove the $20 plan and get a refund? Can I stop them from charging both plans?

I have the exact same situation as you mattiger18. I cannot install Lion or I will disrupt programs that I run on Snow Leopard that are critical for my work. Apple is not providing a solution for us. Last time they migrated from Mobile Me to iCloud they lost months of emails and had emails bouncing to my accounts. They destroyed 8 weeks of my business. They have done it again. They have already lost several months of my emails and they are bouncing my business email. It's outrageous!
I spent thousands of $ on my software and I have no intention of installing Lion or other OS iterations. It is bad enough that Apple's service patches are crippling some of my applications. My biggest regret was not altogether getting off of iCloud and setting up all my business email on other email servers like gmail, etc. It is so outrageous what Apple is doing it is beyond words. They are supremely greedy and totally uncaring for their customers.

I upgraded my icloud storage and amount got deducted from my account but yet storage wasn't upgraded. What can i do?

How long did you wait for the systm to catch up to your request for more storage? it can take a little while, up to an hour sometimes I have heard.
If you don't see any more room after waiting a while, try resetting your phone to see if it appears then.
If that doesn't help go here, http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ and see if they can help you out.

HT201318 I upgraded my iCloud storage capacity for a higher tier and the device does not actually reflects said upgrade. How can this be resolved since my credit card was charged

I upgraded my Icloud storage capacity to a higher tier and my Iphone does not reflect the change although my credit card was charged and the device is nor properly backup. How can this be resolved?

It seems to take up to a couple of days for the upgrade to take hold, at least that's the experience of some users. Give it 24 hours before contacting apple.

HT201318 If I upgrade my iCloud storage will it backup ALL of my iPhoto images?

I want to backup my photos collection to the web which totals around 35GB. If I upgrade my iCloud subscription to the 55GB $100 per year option will it grab everything in the library and store all images in the Photo Stream?
Thanks for your help,
Kieran.

You can't back up computers to iCloud, get yourself an external drive for backups.

Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded 3000+ photos. Can I safely delete them from my phone and still access them from the cloud? Thank you

Hey linsfrombrandon,
The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

Take care,
