Here are more resources to help those of you who specifically have MobileMe-related iCloud questions. I’ll be sharing my MobileMe to iCloud transition next week.
The system requirements to go to iCloud are as follows:
Macs
- OS X Lion 10.7.2 or later
- iTunes 10.5 or later
- iPhoto ’11 (version 9.2 or later) or Aperture 3.2 or later for Photo Stream (recommended)
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
- iOS 5 or later
Many of you have asked about your .mac/.me emails and whether or not they will still exist if you do not make the transition to iCloud. The answer here is no, unfortunately.
Apple’s explanation of the move is as follows: “The core services provided by MobileMe have been completely rewritten and are now part of iCloud. MobileMe will no longer be available after June 30th, 2012. To continue to have mail, contacts, and calendars kept up to date automatically and free of charge, and to enjoy the new services that iCloud provides, MobileMe members must move their accounts to iCloud before June 30th, 2012.”
