clever. but as Siri doesn't begin functioning until users get their 4s phones tomorrow, what's your point? Thank you.
Treat them like the MobileMe team
I wonder if someone at Apple will gather the iCloud team together, ask them what iCloud is supposed to do, how it would scale, and upon getting an acceptable answer saying:
"Then why the f___ doesn't it do that?"
I liked MobileMe. The jury is still out on iCloud.

It will be fine once the bugs are worked out. Any start up of this size will have a few kinks and Apple will have things ironed out quickly. Everyone should just relax and things will be working as intended in a short period of time.
This is a great method for backing up your contacts. Restoring works like a champ too!

Nope! It may have been somewhat of a good idea pre-launch, but now, I'd prefer to have all available resources working on the immediate issue than wasting time coming up with an alternative solution.
Agreed, but it is ironic that MobileMe got such a bad rep, and the replacement has had such a hard time these last 24 hours.
I understand what your point was. I wasn't trying to be a jerk with my reply, I just think that it would be less stressful if those who are having problems chill out a bit and let Apple take care of things.
Can't attach??
Has anyone else been having problems with attachments? I had/have a mac.com email and Mobile Me, which I use when I'm at work and I've noticed over the past week or so (including now since I've migrated to iCloud), that I'm unable to attach anything to my emails. What gives?

I can't even figure out how to get my MobileMe migrated to iCloud. I went to the address me.com/move and it takes me right to the MobileMe login. I login and it doesn't say anything about migrating or what to do. It looks like the regular MobileMe web interface with no instructions. Anyone else experiencing this?
Anyone start a iOS 5 bug thread yet? It's the most buggy iOS release I have ever experienced by Apple. Installed on an iPhone 4 btw.

Think Apple have postponed the MobileMe move due to server load/issues.
And iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 has been a perfect release, no issues.
Is anyone having a similar problem with Find My Friends? When I try to send a request, it says my Apple ID cannot be verified.
The odd thing is that I'm not sure if it wants my iCloud/MobileMe account name, or my iStore account info. Unfortunately, they are not one and the same. I did see an option on Apple's website to merge them into the same username though, but when I click the button, the server craps out.

Amazes me still how people take the first release. I would at least let the dust settle. I still remember the horror stories of MobileMe's launch and people loosing their calendars, address books and having no backups.
How do you know
How can you make such a statement? Do you have any real numbers to know whether 1%, 5%, 105,25%, 50%, 99% or some other number of people are having problems. I know that I post how my major updates go. With one Mac OS update I have not had any major problems. This is until this iOS 5 update. I first tried it on my iPod Touch. I had all of the problems mentioned in the MacWorld article. It took me at least 12 hours to get my iPod Touch back to normal. Believe it or not it is now running iOS 5 by my iTunes program on my Mac.
I'm glad that I am a .Mac/MobileMe User. That means that I do not have to do the iCloud migration until sometime between now & next June. As I have not done anything with the change to iCloud I have nothing to say. But with Apple's history of these transitions I would think that more people would take it slow until the early adopters get the missed bugs out of the system.
There needs to be a warning to those that want to be an early adopter. This should state that anything can happen. Problems that aren't really there can occur. That life is different & sometimes harder for those that want to be first. Also they should be told that things can actually run as they were told it it would.
Just remember because the update was downloaded does not mean that it was installed. I know that I download many of these new things then will decide to wait until others have done the early end game debugging for Apple or whomever wrote the software. Then for different reasons I download some of these updates multiple times. That means that the number of downloads may not really tell what % of the population has actually downloaded & installed the update. Sometimes 1 download many installs. Other times many downloads & at most 1install. I'm sure that you can get at least as many stories as the number of people that you talk to. I have at least 2 or 3 for myself.

Hi there!
Will iCloud work with MobileMe?.. I've heard different stories, it seems kind of murky.
I don't understand why my question got downrated
28 over 18 is a 55.5% increase, not a 50% increase. Just thought I'd throw that out there ...
Right, but what kind of backyard Internet Exchange are they talking about?
28 Gbit/s
Look at the traffic at REAL exchanges: http://www.de-cix.net/content/network/statistics.html
You can change it to another e-mail address that is not already an AppleID. But since .mac/MobileMe/iCloud addresses are by default AppleID's, you can't merge another AppleID into it.

yep.
I only have the one apple id and it couldnt verify.
Then an hour or so later it worked so I think its the server.
Problem could be caused by ISPs, not Apple
It's working for me here in the U.S. I have been using iCloud for over a week, and only one night last week it was not connecting, probably due to cleanup preparations for launch day.
If you are having problems, please mention your location (City, country) and let's see if we could make sense out of this problem.
Backbone ISPs could limit of block traffic when affects their paying customers. Some may be blocking traffic now, to ease the load while they create an algorithm to deal with the increased traffic.
Keep in mind it's a 50% increased peak. That's a lot of traffic in one shot.
I'm sure Apple's Datacenter has enough power and backbone to supply data to the whole world.

I was JUST writing about these issues on my blog and then I see all these tech sites already posting their comments about it. Phew.. Good thing that Im not the only one not being able to access mail it was driving me crazy..
I seriously hope Apple can get it together fast this time around : S
