Push email does not work (iCloud)

A good test to be performed would be to change back both my devices to the old iCloud account (the one migrated from mobileMe) but I dont dare to do this! I dont want to loose my push again 😝

mmmm our theory with the migrated mobileMe then just collapsed...

But that's not really a solution. I like to keep my eMail adress, creating a new one does not help.

Hi,

how can I add my devices to the itunes account id or how can I create me.-Alias for that account (my itunes account is a 3rd party one, like hotmail.

@Marc: That´s true, that´s ******** - I don´t want to change my me.-accounts. However, I´m interested for this "solution"

Thanks

Klaus

Well try this: Do as a did i.e. create a new iCloud account for testing. Do a couple of reeboots (as I did) and if all works fine try to re-enter back your original iCloud account. Fingers crossed this might work (I ve read this in some older posts somewhere).

Worths a shot I think 🙂

Klaus just go to settings-iCloud and delete your iCloud account from that device. When you will be asked to delete all related data from your device select the option to keep it locally (not delete). Then log-in back to iCloud with your iTunes login, and go to the iCloud settings. There the mail should be turned to "off". When you enable it the iOS informs you that you have to create a @me.com alias. Agree, set your alias and you are good to go. After you have done this I would recomend you do a couple of restarts on your device (both of my devices needed 2 restarts each! 😝)

People says push doesn't work...

It's true, but I solved the issue simply by restart my iPhone 4S.

Now push works fine.

I forgot to mention that when you login with your iTunes credentials the iOS will ask you to merge the local info (contacts calendars etc) with the newly created iCloud account. You should agree there i.e. select merge 🙂

Well you are lucky then 😀

I did all that is described here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4002

and much much more... even restored both of my devices... What worked for me is what I described before :/

It's been crazy this week. Days with no push but for the last 10 minutes I have had every post that has been submitted. It's all been pushing through

I just did the following:

On my iPod I deleted my own iCloud (former MM) account and also deleted my data. Then I did login with a friends account (This is a totally new iCloud account created a few weeks ago). And this very instant his eMails were pushed to my iPod. It does not matter if Mail App is in the background or opened at all. And I did not even had to restart the iPod. It simply works. Just like it is supposed to be.

So I stick to my theory that new iCloud accounts are not affected. Only certain older accounts are and I guess all of them had something to do with MM.

Did you try to put back your own iCloud account after performing this test? (and maybe a couple of restarts too wouldnt hurt 😀)

I'm working on this at the moment...

I'm back on my own account and nothing changed. Push is not working for me...

Marc,

I have an iPhone 4S with 5.0.1 and two iCloud Email account set up: a brand new one for family purposes and my personal one migrated from MobileMe.

After having read this whole thread and still having the same problem as you have, here's my summary:

• migrated MobileMe to iCloud Email doesn't push anymore, but ....
• after restart (Power & Home button pressed till phone's switched off) push works only one time and
• a completely new iCloud Email pushes fine

I thought of resetting my phone, but I don't think this is necessary anymore as you guys found out a reset doesn't solve anything.
