iCloud.com Online

[Marky]

Hey all,

Apple seems to have opened up the iCloud Beta on iCloud.com. Notably, the login page is nearly identical to a leak from the days before the original iCloud announcement. We were doubtful of the screen at the time, but it appears to have been legitimate.

There's some mixed reports about people being able to login. We have reports of both developers and non-developers having success and trouble logging in.

Just gave it a try - Was able to login no problem

Pretty impressed Working flawlessly

Does Mail work for you? And if so, did you already have a MobileMe account with that address?

I don't have a @me.com account so I haven't been able to use it. You can setup a @me.com account on the iPhone in the iOS 5 beta, but I'm not really interested in a @me.com account

It's telling me I am not using OSX Lion... I am.

I'm on Snow Leopard still and it works fine, so it shouldn't matter =/

Just found that upon logging in, it returns you to the thing you were on last when you quit (I.e. I was in Pages, and when I logged back in just now it went straight to Pages ). Nice little feature

Well I tried to sign in with my usual Apple ID and that told me the login details were incorrect.

So I tried using my @me address which I got from a MobileMe trial. That worked fine and I can use the Address Book and Calendar but Mail fails to load

Hmm that's strange - I used to have a MobileMe trial also - But I used the email and password I use on the Apple store and it worked fine.

Not sure where I could do that in OS X, I guess that's going to be an update in the future when it launches?

I believe there is a beta of Lion currently out that has an "iCloud" app where you can manage storage etc. I imagine that is where it is referring to

I've recently had my UDID updated for my iPhone so that I can use the iOS 5.0 Beta - This may be the reason why I can use iCloud.com I guess
