iCloud and Migration from MobileMe Services Now Live

So I guess iWork will have to be updated as well to work with iCloud, but I cannot use Documents in the Cloud on my iPad. Which has all the required updates.


TG4 dropbox.
 
Just tried updating to iOS5 on my iPHone 4. Getting errors during restore. Called Apple support and they said Apple technicians are working on the issue. Sounds like it is a big glitch with the update. SUCKS!
 
Just use your appleID. if you have nothing on mobileme (no calendars, contacts or mail), then you don't need that. use your apple id, and if that's what you use for purchases, you'll have all of your apps, songs and vids.

Quick question, maybe someone here can help me.

I have Apple ID/iTunes account which I use to download apps for my iPhone and buy songs/tv shows etc.

I have a MobileMe account which I used briefly but never really used after the free trial

And I have a Gmail account that I use everyday to receive most of my important emails.

I don't use my .me email so I don't see the point in pushing those emails to any device.

Which email do I dedicate for iCloud?

Could I use my Gmail account with iCloud? Thats the email everybody knows.

If I use my MobileMe account will it sync all my movies and apps across my devices even though I used a different Apple ID?

Is anybody able to sign in to iCloud on their iPhone or iPad?

And is anyone able to go into their MobileMe mail settings on their device either?

Everytime I try these two things, settings will crash on my iPhone and iPad.

Give it time. Mine did the same thing for a couple hours. Then it started working. It seems as though the transition takes longer than what the page shows. (for giggles, it appear that the pref pane is sending a null id to apple which is causing it to bomb out)


So about sharing photos, how do we do that now?
 
Was very excited for iCloud with my coming purchase of the 4S... but it isn't SL compatible? Are you kidding me? It's compatible with the crapshoot that is Windows Vista, an old operating system, yet it isn't compatible with Apple's own software that is newer still than Vista? Such a shame Apple... I rely on features and aspects of SL that Lion did away with for work and school and cannot make due with Lion just to support iCloud... truly a shame...

For those of you who have the following setup:

1. @me.com for Sync services (i.e. Mobile Me acct)
2. @domain.com for iTunes acct/Apple ID (i.e. Gmail)

If you do not use your @me.com as your primary email but do use Mobile Me for sync services I would suggest to use your @domain.com to setup iCloud and keep your Mobile Me acct separate for now.

Later on we will find out weather we will be able to merge our @me.com email addresses into iCloud or if we close our Mobile Me acct we can reaquire our @me.com email address through activating the mail portion of the iCloud control panel.

That is the best case scenario at the moment. However, please note, this only applies if you do not use your @me.com email address as a primary email.

As per Apple FAQ the ideal situation is to have one email address for Apple ID/iCloud.

Too late for me :(.
 
I keep getting an error when on the last step to move to iCloud from MobileMe. It says, "Please try again later, we are unable to move your account at this time". Is anyone else getting this?
 
I got @mac.com account for my purchases and I want an @me.com account for mails and iCloud sync so I can get rid of @gmail.com; however I had made ages ago a @me.com trial account on MobileMe which has been registered as an Apple ID as well. So now I cannot override it :(

PS: Apple IDs cannot be delete.
 
The iPad .... could not be restored. An unknown error occured (3014).

Nothing works...a mess.
 
i never got the little blue box confirmation on my iphone about completing icloud setup after the move. it said to check settings on the iphone and make sure all info is correct. i did that and name and password are definitely correct. when i go to setting>icloud and enter me @me account and password, it beachballs then crashes to desktop everytime. if i got to mail and re-enter address and pw it crashes to desktop the same.

anyone else? any suggestions?

HAHAAHAHAHAHAHA - so much for "it just works". I thought the Apple "experience" was so magical from END to END in the "User Experience"! ROFL!!!!!!
 
Try manually deleting your old MM mail/calendar acct from your iPhone

I had the same problem, and deleting my old MM account from the Mail/Calendars/etc area in Settings seemed to fix it...

Its not working for me. I transitioned, but it never sent a push notification. Now when I try to verify settings as instructed my iDevices crash to the home screen. Yay for bugs!

Mobile Me did not have anything remotely resembling documents in the cloud.

iDisk. Which could put ANY document in the cloud, not just the tiny subset of ones from apps updated with cloud support. Really dumb that apple is requiring implementation at the app level and not including any manual file inclusion.

- iWork for Mac is not (yet?) compatible with Documents in the Cloud.

Updates released today. iWork, iPhoto, Aperture etc.
