Will Apple split up family Mobile Me accounts into 5 separate iCloud accounts?

It just occurred to me, what will happen to my MobileMe email accounts from my family pack? Now we can all maintain our own contact
lists via iCloud, but each email account with separate password is still linked to the same iTunes account.  So when MobileMe is gone how will apple address this?

That I can't answer, I would contact iCloud support and ask directly.

  • Will Apple replace a faulty lightning cable that was purchased separate from iPhone?

    I bought an iPhone 5 along with a spare lightning cable from Apple's website in September. Since then BOTH lightning cables have failed, and there is NO sign of physical damage or abuse on either one. I called AppleCare, and they agreed to replace the one that came with the iPhone, but the senior advisor I spoke with rudely told me the one that was bought "separately" for $19 cannot be replaced, nor refund issued. I thought that it would be covered under manufacture's warranty. I've also heard rumours that if you take a faulty accessory to a genius bar they will gladly swap it out for a new one. Only problem is I don't live near an Apple Store. I was thinking about calling AppleCare back and see if I don't have better luck with a different rep. Any thoughts on this?

    From Apple's warranty page.
    Your Apple-branded hardware product is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of original retail purchase ("Warranty Period"). If a defect arises during the Warranty Period, Apple, at its option and to the extent permitted by law will (1) repair the product at no charge using new parts or parts that are equivalent to new in performance and reliability, (2) exchange the product with a functionally equivalent product that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability, or (3) refund the original purchase price. This warranty excludes damage resulting from abuse, accident, modifications or other causes that are not defects in materials and workmanship.
    If you choose to call applecare, they can arrange to ship you a replacement, but you will have to agree to a "hold" on a credit card until the defective cable is received back to the factory.

  • Can I sync a single calendar to two separate mobile me accounts

    My wife and I have separate dot mac accounts and separate mobil me accounts. We each keep separate work and personal contacts and calendars on our computers and they sync to our separate I phones. We would like to have a single family calendar that will sync automatically through mobil me for entries made by either of us to the others phone, downlinking to our separate computers.
    Is this possible?

    Please read this entire post before doing anything, so that you can understand what you need to do.
    My wife and I have the same scenario and I have a work around. Here is what we have:
    She has an iPhone 3g and a Mac Book. I have an IPhone 3Gs and a Mac Book Pro. I have my Mobile Me account, and she has her own Mobile Me account.
    Before you do anything, go to each of your computers and backup both your address books and calenders.
    Here is how I have ours sync:
    1) The 2 laptops are both setup under Mobile Me in the System Preferences under my Mobile Me account. In here, I have both laptops setup to sync the address book(s) and the calender(s) but nothing else.
    2) On your computer, import your wifes backed up address book and calenders into your iCal and Address Book on your computer. Make sure that your wifes calender had a different name than yours in the iCal program. I mean make sure that your calender and hers was not both labeled something like "Home". My wifes is labeled "Her Personal" and my calender is labeled "His Personal". You can do the same thing for the Hers and your address books, by putting them in different categories before you back them up and import them.
    3) After these are setup on your computer, then (a) go to System Preferences, and then (b) go to Mobile Me. In Mobile Me (c) click on the "Sync" tab. (d) Click on Advanced at the lower right hand corner of the window. Then (e) click on the Resync Data button. In the next window (f) click on the RIGHT arrow and the click replace. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) to your Mobile Me cloud.
    4) On your wifes computer repeat Step 3. Except, in step (f) click on the LEFT arrow. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) from you Mobile Me cloud to your wifes computer. You are now half way done.
    5) On your iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on your Mobile Me account. Here you will need to turn on Mail Contacts and Calenders.
    It will be setup a little different on your wifes iPhone however.
    6) On your wifes iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on her Mobile Me account. Here you need to make sure that only Mail is on. Make sure that Calenders and Contacts is turned off.
    7) Go back to Mail, Contacts, Calenders on your wifes iPhone. Click on Add Account. Here you will need to add YOUR Mobile Me account information.
    8) After you have entered you Mobile Me account information on her phone, go back into Settings and then to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on you Mobile Me account again. Under your account on her phone, turn off Mail, but turn on Contacts and Calenders.
    9) Open both the Calenders apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
    10) Open both the Contacts apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
    You should now be able to keep your contacts and address books in sync on both computers and iPhones, but still be able to keep you individual e-mail accounts in sync on the seperate computers and iPhones. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • How can i make my mobile me account email my primary email?

    I have an apple id and a mobile me account. I want all of my apple mail such as purchase receipts from the itunes store to be sent to my mobile me account address instead of the primary email adress for my apple i.d. Ever time i go into account setting and try to switch it, the site tells me it is already hooked up, yet the emails are still sent to the wrong address. Does anyone know how to fix my problem?

    Mobile Me closed on June 30th 2012, did you migrate to iCloud before that date?

  • HT2513 I have a family with 5 iPhones and separate iCloud accounts. How can we all share a common calendar?

    My family had 5 iPhone 4S with separate iCloud accounts. How can we all share a common ICal amongst each other to manage the family schedule.

    So you've shared the calendar, your family has accepted and added the calendar to their devices, but they do not recieve any changes or additons thay have been made since then? Is that correct?
    Is the calendar you shared in your iCloud accounts in Calendar (as opposed to another account you've set up to sync calendars with your device)?
    What happens if one of you family members attempts to edit the calendar?
    Do you have a computer form which you can access the iCloud.com site? Does it refelct the latest updates to the shared calendar?

  • Need to have a separate iCloud account for daughter's iPod touch

    I would like to manage all my iOS devices under one appleID, but with separate icloud accounts for my two daughters, each with their own iPod.  How do I retain my Apple ID on daughter's iPod but have a separate iCloud address so that she doesn't receive my Messages, etc?
    Thanks in advance.

    You'll have to have separate iCloud accounts to have separate email addresses.  You can do this and still share the same iTunes account for purchasing.  There is no requirement that they be the same ID. 
    To change the iCloud ID on each of your daughter's devices, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  If she is syncing any data with your iCloud account, when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On iPod.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  If they have any of your data in their new accounts, go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each of the accounts separately and delete it.
    To prevent getting each other's text messages, use separate IDs for iMessage as well.  If you are currently sharing the same ID for iMessage, on each of their devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.

  • Sync photos from two separate iCloud accounts

    How do I sync photos from two separate iCloud accounts onto my PC?

    Howdy Springcheer,
    While this is not syncing per se, I'm wondering if iCloud Photo Sharing will do what you need to get photos from two separate iCloud accounts to your PC.

    Please read the article. It may work for you.
    Take care,

  • My Mobile Me account ends soon and Apple is telling me to switch to iCloud. I have an iPad2 and 64 gig iTouch that I dont see any issues with but I have not updated my Mac to Lion. Will everything work?

    Hi,
         I have an iPad2 and an iTouch (64G) devices as well as a Mac running snow leopard. I dont want to update to Lion because I will not be able to use my quicken software (I am aware of quicken essentials for mac) I am receiving emails that I am running out of time for my Mobile Me account and I am being encouraged to switch to iCloud. My question is if I switch to iCloud on my devices will I still be able to sync with my computer?

    No. You will need to upgrade to Lion to sync with your computer. You can use the web version of icloud but it is clunky and doesn't work as well.

  • I think I screwed up my migration.  I turned off the sub-accounts on my Mobile Me Family Pack before I hit the button to move my account.  Now it seems I have delete all of my family's email accounts.  Can they be re-activated/retrieved?

    I think I screwed up my migration.  I turned off the sub-accounts on my Mobile Me Family Pack before I hit the button to move my account.  Now it seems I have deleted all of my family's email accounts.  Can they be re-activated/retrieved?  The instructions at that point were vague to non-existent.

    I'm tryin to move my account to iCloud too and I have sub accounts. I deleted a couple of the sub accounts and found that one of them (didn't try the other one) couldn't  login anymore. I haven't moved to iCloud yet and I was able to re-establish the sub account. I had another go at moving to iCloud and noticed that I may not need to delete the sub accounts, it just warns that I won't be able to add or delete them after moving to iCloud. Maybe that is the way to go. Move the main account to iCloud without deleting the sub accounts?? Maybe this will leave the sub account owners able to move in their own time.
    I don't know if you can fix what you have done if you have already moved to iCloud with your main account. Might be time for you visit the local Genius Bar or call Apple support.
    I may try a visit to my local Genius Bar over the weekend if I can make an appointment ;-)

  • I know have a mobile me account and so my apple id is switched from my email address.  i am trying to update my apps but it won't let me as it won't recognize my new 'ID'. how can i fix this on my iphone?

    I have mobile me account now and so my apple id is switched from my email address to my mobile me address.  Since I have made this change I can't update my apps. Everytime I try to sign in it won't recognize the switch. I have updated all the proper information on my iphone, however, when updating apps it still shows my apple id as my email address and not the mobile me account address. I am not sure what else to do???  I have even sync'd my iphone and tried to do it through my pc, however, it says that it can't update (nothing to update). I have ten updates sitting on my iphone apps...What to do...what to do?  Very confused.

    Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
    Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
    If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • I have an apple ID and a separate mobile me account...

    I'm a long time .mac and mobile me user that is now getting around to finding out what I need to do to transition to iCloud. I've been searching to find answers to a few questions and not finding exactly what I need to know - so let me just ask them all at once.
    I have a separate apple id (that has been used to purchase thousands of $$ of music and movies through iTunes) that is not connected with my mobile me ID. From what I've read, I can't merge these - so one will have to go and one will have to become my ID for iCloud.
    Since I don't want to lose access to all my music and movies - I'm guessing I will need to use my apple ID to create an iCloud account. Using my Apple ID will ensure that I can continue to have all the media I've purchased across my desktop, laptop, iPad, iPod and iPhone.
    My mobile me account has been used to sync 10 or so calendars and all my many contacts. Since all the calendars are now online since the mobile me calendar upgrade a while back - how do I not lose them all when I close out my mobile me account to open a new iCloud account with my apple ID (I'm guessing there is no easy transition of data from one account to another?) I'm terrified to switch to iCloud now because I can't merge my IDs - so I'm afraid I will lose ALL my calendar history and contacts.
    Can someone tell me what I should do here?
    Lost in the Cloud

    You should continue to use your Apple ID for your iTunes account whatever you do in terms of iCloud syncing and mobile me.
    If you would like to use the Apple ID you use for iTunes for iCloud syncing. just create an iCloud account using that Apple ID. If you do this you will need to add an iCloud mail address which can't be your mobile me address as that is already taken.
    If you want to create another Apple ID for use with iCloud so that you keep your @me address from your mobile me account you can do that by migrating from mobile me to iCloud, you can do that too, your Apple ID for iCloud will then be your @me address.
    If you migrate your calendars and contacts will also be migrated and continue to work in iCloud. If you create an iCloud account using the Apple ID you use for iTunes you will be given the oportunity to merge your calendars and contacts.
    Whichever you choose, it would be agood idea to export your calendars and contacts for back up purposes before doing anything.

  • Family Sharing, iTunes Account NOT Apple ID

    I'd like to turn on Family Sharing.
    However, it seems the only way to turn on Family Sharing is through my Apple ID on my iOS device
    Settings > iCloud > Family Sharing
    The issue I have is that my iTunes and App Store purchases are not using my Apple ID. I created a different ID (long time ago) for iTunes. So, all my purchases are with this ID, not my Apple ID.
    For example: on my iOS device
    Settings > iCloud > [email protected]
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > myitunesid (there is no @email.com associated with this ID)
    All my iTunes (music and apps) purchases are with myitunesid ID, not with [email protected] ID.
    I'm assuming if I active Family Sharing with my iCloud (actual Apple ID), there won't be any purchases associate with the account. Nor will there be, as long as I keep using the myitunesid account.
    Hope this makes sense.

    Yes, in fact it's recommended that you do.  you can create separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs and still share the same iTunes ID (the IDs do not have to be the same).  You should also use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime to avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.  Using your individual iCloud IDs for iMessage and FaceTime will accomplish this.

  • HT204053 I had a mobile me account and now i have two apple id's how do i make it just one?

    When I signed up for icloud I was told that i could just use my mobile me account. The problem was that my mobile me account creates an address for me and now that address is my icloud id. In addition to that my itunes store address is different but it is also an icloud id, but i want just one id. is there any way i can merge the two?

    The same thing happened to me because I had an Apple ID that was not an email address under which I had made all my purchases and a me.com address that I initially used to set up my iCloud account.  If you want to get all your purchases from the Cloud, then you need to do a couple of things:  first, change the Apple ID that you purchased all your stuff under to be an email address.  You can do that yourself by going to the page where you change your Apple ID.  I think it's applied.apple.com but if that's not it, just search for "My Apple ID" in the search box on the support page.  Sign in with your existing ID -- the one that is not an e-mail address -- and change it to an e-mail address.  Be sure to remember this Apple ID.  Then create your iCloud account using this Apple ID.  You should be able to get all your stuff to download using this account.
    The problem with this is now you will NOT have an iCloud account associated with your MobileMe account.  If you're OK with that, you're good to go.  I think you still have time to manually download all your stuff from MobileMe.
    Apple phone support walked me through this, so if my instructions are confusing you can call them and get them to walk you through it too.  It's a common problem.

  • I have my own icloud account separate from my family's apple ID for itunes. I need more storage for icloud...do I have to pay a separate $20/ month to get more storage or does the $20 include all members of the plan?
