Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not everyone with an Apple ID can log in, only paying developers. I have a free developer account and was able to log in. I don't have a @me.com address so I couldn't check Mail, but the rest worked.

Curious. I edited my comment.

For me:

Access to technical resources such as pre-release software and associated documentation, and information related to distributing iOS or Mac apps on the App Store are benefits offered to Apple Developer Program members.

Either the Apple ID and password you entered is not associated with an Apple Developer Program, or the Program that you are enrolled in does not have access to this resource.

This would be one heck of a phishing scam to get everyone's Apple ids. Has anyone verified that the site is legit?

Off topic: What are the other sites doing "your browser is not supported" with chrome?

Running Firefox 3.6 at work, unsupported. Chrome omitted from their suggested browsers ("latest version of Safari, Firefox, or Internet Explorer"). Did I mention the adorable frowny cloud: https://www.icloud.com/static_pages/unsupported_browser/en-u...

Works for Firefox 5 (not terribly surprising). The SadMac Cloud is goddamned adorable (surprising).

Erm... Okay, so I want to move all my mail (and my address) over from MobileMe. Where's the button?

agreed, right there with you. my main apple id is gmail, but i do already have a me.com account also. would like to merge but it seems the only option on the iPhone is to create a new one, not sign-in with an existing one.
