MobileMe- About moving to iCloud

There is no iDisk with iCloud. You need to download all your iDisk files to your computer. You will need to find a third-party service to store your files online such as SugarSync, ADrive, or MediaFire.

If you don't move them elsewhere before the end of this month, they will simply disappear. You need to transfer your files to your computer as a start.

You can always access Mobile Me on the web at www.me.com.

You should be able to download to your computer.

I assume they will be easily downloadable once I buy a compatible device...?

You can download files from the MobileMe iDisk on any Mac. Just make sure you are signed in at System Preferences>MobileMe and mount your iDisk on the Desktop (command-shift-i). You don't need to buy a new computer to do that. You can then download from that, and you should be doing that as soon as possible - you have a fortnight before the contents of your iDisk are deleted.

If you have a lot of files, don't try to download them all at once - work in reasonably sized batches.
