iCloud has been a constant nightmare for me.

I don't know where to start. Maybe the biggest nightmare is that since switching from Mobile Me to iCloud, every time I quit mail, or restart my computer, all my accounts from my mail app, and I have to add the accounts all over again. And then there's the inability to edit my contacts in the Contact app. I have to go online and do it at icloud.com.


Oh, yeah, and the fact that my bookmarks keep getting wiped out everytime I restart my computer is a real drag.


But when I try to change my prefs, iCloud prefs tell me that "this is not my primary iCloud account." ***???


This has been one massive nightmare and pain in the *** from the second I switched from Mobile Me. I haven't seen Apple drop the ball on this level for a really long time.

Same with me. After my .mac-account was moved to iCloud, I seem to have two identities, one from my .mac history, the second my Apple-ID through which I came to .mac. Each time my machine is booted, it has a problem with my Apple-ID. Then I read that the second one was not my primary iCloud account. Well, what to do? I tried to delete the synchronisation of my calendar with the "not-so-primary" account. All my entries that have been made on my Mac are deleted. I have never asked anyone to take my entries on a cloud and to keep them there.


How can I get off that cloud?
