Ok so i have read tons of forum posts and realized that I am to blame for not moving to the icloud service when i had a chance in 2012. But now, I am stuck with a mac.com primary address as my apple id (with all purchases since 2007) and all the problems that come with an unverified, inaccessible, primary id. My question is, is there a way for me to migrate this to icloud now? Can i write to tim cook about this???
Hello Yoakshay,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you want to sign up for iCloud with your @mac.com Apple ID. See below on how you can accomplish this process:
I had a MobileMe account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
To use your MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your @me.com or @mac.com email address as your Apple ID. If you had an @me.com address, it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud. If you had an @mac.com address, it won't be reactivated for email, but you can set up a new @icloud.com email address to use with iCloud.
Important: You will need a verified email address associated with your @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add a verified email address, go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), sign in with your @me.com or @mac.com email address, and add a valid email address to your account.
