Apple have said this on the developers site

"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."

Yes I've read that a number of times and I'm not entirely sure what it means. I don't find the wording particularly clear.

Does it mean that you upgrade your iTunes ID and that becomes your 'iCloud' account, but you can move *just* your MobileMe mail address to it (all iCloud accounts need a @me.com address right)? Or does it mean that you 'upgrade' your MobileMe account to become your one, true iCloud account, but there is a separate notion of 'iTunes in the cloud', which doesn't use your iCloud id but your old iTunes id and you just keep iTunes using that old thing and don't worry about it.
 
Hi, like everyone else, I can logon via the iCloud page but I'm told I need IOS5 or go to 'settings' on Lion. I have no updates available on Lion (MacBook Pro) so obviously settings does not yet include any iCloud content.. and iTunes says I have the current version still - IOS 4.3.5.

So until something changes, there's no iCloud in the UK yet!

I have iTunes 10.5, bit gutted only apps and books available from the 'purchased' feature.

Rob.


I am getting same error.....I dont have ios5 and cant locate the settings in lion on my imac.....when i click learn more I get 404.

----------

what a piece of garbage roll out.....not working....errors.....
 
Anyone else still getting this message when trying to log into iCloud.com:

"This account is not yet eligible"

(I'm using my mobile me details, which I also use for purchasing iTunes content)

It's now 10 EST. Where the hell is 10.7.2 / iOS5?
 
Lion Update I'm getting super fast (less than 3 minutes to get it).
iOS 5, taking a long time.
Different servers I guess.
 
Using mac.com still works for me. I was under the impression that all .mac users were able to use both.

I can't get any of my IDs (my old MobileMe account and my iTunes account) to work. Asks me to move my account over from MobileMe. My Gmail account is not linked to MobileMe at all...
