Why haven't my MobileMe files moved over to iCloud? iDisk and Lion issue?

Everything else has matriculated over to iCloud automatically. But my working files, typically MSOffice files also, have not. What can I do to get them to move? Or should I just put everything onto a hard drive on my desk and chuck the notion of online "cloud" storage? Another way of putting it; iDisk isn't showing up on my computer and is not accessbile via Lion. So, how do I get my files to move to iCloud from MobileMe, and then show up via Lion as either in iCloud or my iDisk?

Your iDisk and its contents, including websites and Gallery, do not migrate to iCloud: iCloud does not provide these facilities. The iDisk will continue to work as before but will terminate on 30 June 2012 and its contents be deleted, so you will need to find alternatives before then.
The migration process has probably logged you out of MobileMe and you will need to go to System Preferences>MobileMe and sign in again.

I am changing to iCloud on my iMac, MacBook Air and my iPhone. My iMac and MacBook both moved over to iCloud but my iPhone when I go to Settings and click on iCloud it shows my Mail setting turned Off. When I turn it on it wants me to create a new email address to turn on iCloud Mail. I already have to "me" accounts plus another email address and don't want to create another one. I don't understand why it's asking me to do this on my iPhone but didn't ask on my iMac or MacBook and is there a way around creating another @me.com email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Connect it to iTunes with a USB cable and update it from the iTunes application.
I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.

HT204053 we have moved over to iCloud but now we need a another email for a blog we are doing can we add another email but not alias

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can add an alias but not a second email address to your iCloud account. You can however add a second iCloud account to your iOS device (which will come with its own email address) at settings> mail, contacts calendars.

Why haven't my Pages files restored after a backup?

Ok. I have an ipad 2. I use icloud to back up my important stuff, particularly Pages files. Today I made the MASSIVE mistake of updating my os. This killed my ipad & I have had to restore. No problem I thought. I go to restore & get a 'not all things can be restored' type message. Not bothered about my games; but Pages, an app I paid for and backup, is wiped. Not a trace of any files.
How can I get them back?
Is there an Apple way to do it?
many thanks

Why won't an FLV file created by Premier Pro open and Play?

As the title states...I exported a sequence as a flv file and my computer won't play it... It is strange that the amount of Gigabytes used by Adobe ( I have the Master Version) won't open an FLV it created. Yes,
I have Quicktime installed BTW. Is there something I need to turn on? Or do I need 'yet-another' download to make an .FLV play?

@JtSmith- BTW I put this ? in this area because I created the File in PremPro.. So I wondered why it would not play it back. However your idea of parking the file so a stand alone /embedded player made me think to try and open it with a Browser. Which indeed my .f4v file did open that PremPro created. Yet the FLV file would not open. IT seems FB (Flash Builder) has taken proprietary rights over it...
@JSimon- I could not find the VLC Player you mentioned, if you can tell me where I can find that or which or what program that is in...?
Anyhow FWIW, Prem Pro did a great job on creating a Lossless FLV file from a file that was 330mb to 11mb and still looks pretty good for web use. BTW.. Hence the Prem Pro post. After all we web users would like the smallest, cleanest file we can produce from our PremPro exports. Right? Thanks for the idea JT and J Simon if you get a chance to let me know if that VLC player came with my suite or must I download the Open Source VLC player..The one that turns every icon into an 'orange construction cones'
Thanks
Happy New Year. 13

Why does text in Smallest File Size PDF change point size and vertical scaling?

If you have a document with 6 pt. type (no scaling) and Save As a Screen-Quality PDF, when you open that resulting PDF in Illustrator, the 6 pt. type has become 5.1 pt. type with vertical scaling of 117.65%! Normally, I would have no reason to open the PDF in Illustrator, but our clients are doing it. They want the smallest possible PDFs but still want to be able to check the point sizes for legal reasons. If you Save As a High Quality Print PDF, the type is fine, but that won't always work if there are alot of images and the file size needs to be kept as small as possible.

sorry for 2 posts, technical problem with forums and images.
Leading changed to 7.2, but as you know when going to pdf paragraphs are broken up into seperate lines.

Why does my older PDF files print an all black background and white letter/numbers?

I have a laserjet 1536dnf MFP. Printing older adobe pdf's results in an all black background with white letters / numbers. How can i correct this. It doesn't happen with newly created PDF's from the 1536dnf scanner.

My Icloud mail is not working altough I can log into icloud. I phoned support they said its because me me is moving over to Icloud and should give it 24 hours. I have moved over the day Icloud started. Please help

I cannot access my mail on Icloud.com

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

Word of Caution to Apple: Snow Leopard is one of your best programs ever invented by you. Why are you looking to discontinue it? Both your Maverick and Lion programs failed due to breeches in its security unlike Snow Leopard!

Snow Leopard is one of the best MAC programs ever invented by Apple. So, I wanted to find out why Apple has chosen to discontinue there best working, and greatest, most stable Mac Program they have ever invented. In all honesty, Apple's Lion and Maverick programs have been disastrous due to recent serious security breaches in these new programs, which did not occur with any of Apple's Snow Leopard users like myself. Part of good business is sticking with programs that are enduring and will out last the test of time and technology.
Also, Snow Leopard has proved itself by passing in terms of protecting us "Snow Leopard" users from any security breaches and other problems that have affected both your newer Lion and Maverick programs with all its great technology. Continuing to go in the direction as Apple is going in relation to our Snow Leopard Mac program (by discontinuing this great program as well as support for it) I believe could prove to be a huge and fatal business mistake. Consider enhancing Snow Leopard; in other words continue to build on such positive potential in this way more stable program than your newer ones. Again, please re-consider your decision(s). Any thoughts?

Apple isn't listening here. (I should point out however, that your premise that Snow has stronger security is not correct. The gotofail error in 10.9 was a one-off and the OSs above 10.6 have greater sandboxing for security.) I still think Snow is a great OS and should receive continued support. It will inevitably become less secure without that.
But this is a user to user forum. Send your comment to feedback.

File Sharing between 10.5.8 and Lion?

From my new MacBook Pro, running Lion, I can't connect to my iMac running OS 10.5.8. I can connect in the opposite direction, but even logged in as the Administrator, I can't transfer files except by using the drop box. Filing sharing is turned on for both of my Mac's.
Any advice? Thanks in advance,

You may need to contact AppleCare with this issue it should be working. Prior to calling though I'd recommend on both the MBP and iMac restarting in Safe Mode to clear some caches and also doing both a SMC and PRAM reset on each machine. Be careful the process for doing a SMC reset on a MBP and an iMac are totally different processes. I've listed each below so please read carefully.
iMac
SMC & PRAM Resets
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
MacBook Pro
SMC Reset
There are a couple of things you can do before heading off to the Apple store, a SMC and PRAM resets. To do these:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

Please help. Why aren't my hyperlinks moving over from one document to another?

Firstly I'm using Adobe InDesign 5.5
I have document A, which has over 50 pages.
Then document B, with over 40 pages.
All the pages on document B, I want to 'move' over to document A, so document A will now have 90 pages and I'll no longer need document B. The issue is, when I move the pages over, the hyperlinks I have throughout document B don't move over (which there are over 30 hyperlinks on certain sections of certain pages).
Now it seems like the only 'slow/safe' process of doing this, is to copy page 1&2 of Document B, and then 'paste in place' on document A, and then go back to B and copy pages 3&4. this is a long process...considering I have over 2,500 pages to get through.
Why aren't the hyperlinks moving over? When I go back to document A, I click on the hyperlink tab and it's blank.
It's really annoying and I'm trying to figure out why this is even happening and can't find any solution online.

You should save both documents before doing that with Save as into the same folder, so thel links will not change.
I would recommend to package your files after doing that.

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud?!!

So, iDisk (great with MobileMe) is closed! Ok. I got the most expensive iCloud Plan and LOVED storing files online. Is that REALLY OVER??!! (besides Numbers', Pages', and Keynote's docs sync).. Will I REALLY have to downgrade to "free" on iCloud and PAY for "DropBox", "Google Drive" or "Microsft's Sky Whatever.."?!!
I could not log in to this Support Community with my UPDATED Apple ID (and this is another issue I can't believe Apple just says "NO, you CAN'T!" - deleting other (old) Apple IDs we've created by mistake or a long time ago and being able to have it all on ONE SINGLE UPDATED Apple ID - ALSO saving Apple's storage servers, etc.).
Anyway, my Apple ID for better communication is [email protected] (but I really couldn't log in here - it kept saying that the e-mail is already registered, etc. I know it, I'm trying to use it here, that's all...
So, really. Of course a lot of people don't care about the iDisk issue. That's fine, we all love and hate specific apps or software.. But why has Apple just shut it down, since it was so EASY to use (as DropBox) on all our Apple devices?!! So, we really can't upload/store any kind of files anymore and that's it?!
I used iDisk when MobileMe was still alive, and it was great to have my files from work, home, any backup (whatever we want) uploaded and synced and used in our Macs, iPhones and iPads. If we have the OPTION of an iCloud Plan (the top one, for example), but we just don't like the automatick backups for the iPhones and iPads, nor the Pictures' sync function.. Why can't we just have the SAME simple and efficient/great service of the iDisk installed in each device?!
Do we really have to go back and downgrade back to the free iCloud Option (just for keeping the e-mail) and paying extra for DropBox, Google, Microsoft, any other services?! I have nothing against them - I actually have DropBox and it works great because it REMINDS me of iDisk!! But WHY NOT just keep it simple and closed with 1 company/platform/option - Apple's iOS, OSX, etc.
That's why I decided to have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3rd. Generation (for example, along with other products and services such as Apple TV).. I know I'm CHOOSING to stay with 1 world, that's fine. And that's why I didn't (yet) go for a Samsung phone or another tablet.. I wanna stick with 1 pattern and I have chosen Apple's..
Just can't understand such an innovative company make such decisions (such as shutting down iDisk or not letting us just DELETE Apple IDs we do NOT use anymore).. Please, just some guidance or confirmation if that's correct: No way of uploading files others than Numbers', Pages' or Keynote's!!??
Thank you very much!!
Peace.

Thank you Roger.
That's exactly what I was afraid of...
During all the time I have been a loyal customer of Apple's products and services, these have been the only 2 issues that I really can't understand (specially when we look at Apple's strategies and management)...
1) Not being able to DELETE (simply delete or deactivate) old or duplicated Apple IDs... I have 3 different Apple IDs but only one is the real Apple ID I use for everything, with all my purchases and services (such as e-mail) related to it (Why won't Apple jus let people delet, deactivate or - at least - merge Apple IDs?! That would help everyone, including Apple when we think about costs, storage, database maintenance, etc.) - Actually, even when I gave up on trying to delete other Apple IDs, I tried to have the one I really use and have organized to use my @me.com address as the Apple ID itself (as Apple asks us to do - and makes sense, of course). But never worked. Just because I created that Apple ID with a @hotmail.com account (since it asks for a valid e-mail when you create an Apple ID, it NEVER lets me now change my Apple ID to my @me.com e-mail address - I mean JUST having my @me.com e-mail address as my primary e-mail and my Apple ID (for example, having that old @hotmail.com e-mail address out of it, cleaned..)!
2) The other issue was this one, about iDisk. Of course there must be reasons for having it shut down, maybe the apps used by iPhone and iPad, along with the folder on Mac OSX, is way too complicated, expensive, full of bugs, I don't know. But if we decide to pay for 50GB of online storage, why even THINK about different options for files we use?! I have Dropbox, I've read about Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive, etc. But I just wanted to STICK with a single ALL-APPLE solution.. That is.. Pay the annual fee for the 50GB and just still keep any file I want on the cloud with iDisk. So, what Apple tells me is that if I have other files than iWork or PDF (and some few exceptions), I should actually downgrade to "free" iCloud and decide to PAY for another solution (organization), such as DropBox, Google Disk or Drive (I don't really know), Micrsoft's SkyDrive..
Of course there's the strategy of getting more and more people to use Pages, Numbers and Keynote (buying them for iOS and Mac OSX, as I already have and love them). But "killing" iDisk and just telling users to look for other storage solutions doesn't really sound like Apple.
I have seen so many questions here about both issues (deleting or merging Apple IDS + iDisk back since we pay for storage) that I really believe Apple should reconsider these issues or, at least, open the issue and let us know what would be the best "partner solution" for iCloud...
Thanks a lot!
All the best...
