All you have to do is go to icloud.com on your friend's computer and log in with your info, and you'll get your photostream. Right?
i'm already missing Gallery and iDisk. i dont really see any appeal for iCloud on the mac. let's say i'm on a friends mac and i want to look at some of my pictures, i cant do that anymore???
i thought all of my pictures that i take on my iPad or iPhone would sync back to the cloud so i could look at them on the iCloud browser platform, but we cant do that right?
the cloud is basically just for synching of more than one iDevice? call me stupid but i thought everything that i change on my iDevices would be accessable from the iCloud browser platform on any computer
'evening.
Having seen https://www.macrumors.com/2011/10/12/icloud-and-migration-from-mobileme-services-now-live/ I've just migrated my firstname.lastname@me.com account to iCloud. This was relatively painless.
However it keeps referring to this as an ID, which confuses me. I've always had a firstname.lastname AppleID which is different to my firstname.lastname@me.com MobileMe account - I had it before my MobileMe account. firstname.lastname@me.com is used for MobileMe (iDisk, email address, etc) and firstname.lastname AppleID is used for iTunes purchases (Music, iPhone Apps, etc), Apple Retail Store reservations, Apple.com support, etc.
Should this have been combined with my MobileMe account in the iCloud migration? Or am I now going to have one account for iCloud, and one account that has all my iTunes purchases?
I R CONFUSED
Anyone? I have a mobileme account that I use for mail/syncing and an AppleID I use on iTunes. This doesn't work?
Go to the settings in iCloud mail, under Addresses you can create 3 (free) aliases.

From Apple:
If I use different accounts for iTunes and MobileMe, can I merge them into a single account and use it with iCloud?
No. You cannot merge two accounts into one. However, you will be able to move your MobileMe account (yourname@me.com) to iCloud and, if you choose, you can continue to use a different iTunes account for store purchases and iTunes in the Cloud. Please read this article for details.
Success!!
Everything went smoothly! I love all my small macs.... I even made a iCloud iPad Wallpaper... click the link below.

if I go to the iCloud web page, log in my Mobile me address, it then takes me to the mobile me page for me to login to migrate my Mobile Me account to iCloud.
IF I do this using the we ... does that transfer my mail account, my contacts, my calendar and do on ... OR do I really have to be on my Mac with iCal, Contacts, Mail all of them with Lion 10.7.2 in order for me to be able to Migrate my Mobile Me account ??
Can this migration be done by only Loging into the iCloud website ????

Coolio. I guess you just can't make new aliases during the transition. I'll check it out as soon as I make the move, which will be when they release an untethered jailbreak for iOS5.
Thanks! Doesn't seem like it is a problem at all. What's all the fuss about on this issue??
Do I have to upgrade?
I have a Mac running Lion, iPad, and iPhone3G. Now the iPhone will not get iOS5. I could move to iCloud and as it looks from the setup page is that I wouldn't then be able anymore to sync Address and iCal information over to the iPhone which currently works just fine with MobileMe.
Can iOS4 access Calendar and Address Book information on the Cloud? Do I have to sync my iPhone using iTunes and a cord?
Does 10.7.2 force me to upgrade to iCloud?
Any ideas?

How? I only see Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Find My iPhone and iWork
I have photostream activated on my iPhone
I have a backup (at home...). So now I have to wait till I get there to upload it back into iCloud.
Looks like I'll be doing the "not recommended" thing and using my existing MobileMe account as my iCloud account, and my Apple ID used for iTunes, etc. (a gmail acct) for purchases...
Exactly what I'll do. Is there any advantage to consolidating? I assume it's as easy as adding a CC to the mobileme account, but still. The disadvantages would be using up another authorization on iTunes?
