Can't get rid of mobile me mail account

Hello all,
When I was setting up my mac, I inadvertently told it I had a mobile me account, one based on my old apple ID. I decided ultimately not to set up a mobile me account, and set up my mail accounts. Now, whenever I open mail, it asks for the password to smtp.me.com:username.
I deleted the mobile me account in preferences, but it doesn't matter - the **** thing pops up and asks for a password everytime I open it.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of it asking for my mobileMe access for an account I don't have?
Thanks,
Ben

Edit your server list and remove the macmail server.

How can I get rid of 14 e-mails that say "This message has no content."

How can I get rid of 14 emails on my iPad Touch that say, "This message has no content." Since I can't open them, neither can I delete them.

- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you delete them if you access them on another device?

I have a user ID I can't get rid of on my iTunes account

I got a replacement iPad because screen cracked and I can't get into my iTunes account now because there is a weird username and I can't get rid of it!

The iforgot support is if you forget your password, you still know your password, so you don't need that anyway.
I would recommend erasing the iPad completely and starting all over again. ID you backup with iCloud you can restore your content from the iCloud backup. If you backup and sync with iTunes, you can do the same with that. Only difference being when using iTunes, you must restore from the backup and then sync the iPad.
To erase completely go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. You will have to start all over again as I explained. The store gave you a device with someone else's ID and account still on it, and I would not want to use it without erasing it first.

Can't get rid of pesky junk mail

I use the Apple Mail Version 6.5 (1508) application for my emails. I have found the Junk Mail feature to be very helpful. If I label a message "Junk," It is treated as junk when I receive the same message later on. However, there is one pesky junk mail that is being sent to me about 5 times per week that ignores the junk mail label and does not go to the trash. After labeling it Junk several times, I gave up and went to the Rules function and made a rule that, when it is received, it is to be deleted. That works just fine on my Mac, but I know it is still being sent because it still shows up on the email app on my iPhone.
Questions:
1. Why doesn't Mail succeed in tagging that message as Junk so that it will go to Junk Mail like all the other stuff?
2. Is there anything I can do to force that message to Junk Mail? I'd rather not have to use Rules to get rid of it.
3. Is there any kind of Junk Mail filter available for an iPhone 4S that runs on iOS 6.1.3? I've submitted that to Apple as a suggestion, but, of course, I've had no reply.
Thanks for any assist you can give.

I went to my provider's web site and set my email Rule to delete any message containing the unique name used in the sender. So far the string of emails has stopped, but sometimes spammers take holidays off, so I'll wait to see what happens later, but I'm really excouraged as of now. Thanks again for the suggestion.

Can't get rid of mobile browser download ad

When I log on there is a foxfire mobile browser download ad. I can't use it and can't find any way to get rid of it. Also, I have tried multiple times to change my home page using the instructions in your help video and it doesn't work.

On which page is this?
Is that one of the snippets on the about:home page?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Can't get rid of an e-mail address on iPhone

I send an e-mail from my iPhone and it was the wrong e-mail account. Now, I can't seem to delete it from my iPhone. I have deleted it from my mail account online, I have deleted it from my contacts, I have deleted it from my outlook. I have synched and deleted and resynched. I have searched multiple emails and can't find it on my computer.. so that was good. But, it's still on my iPhone. Any ideas how to get this abarant email address OFF my iPhone?

I know I wish there was a way to cause I had to restore my phone as new. I looked all on the web not just these furoms and I could find nothing just people saying to do a restore. Hopefully something easier comes about in this 2.0 update but who knows? If you find a different way you should post it.

Sorry but this is only iPhoto support. There is no "all over the computer" forum
To stop the messages in iPhoto open the iPhoto preferences and remove all references to MM. Do the same in the system preferences

Can I get rid of my comcast cable account and use apple TV only?

I just want to get rid of my cable account completely...is that possible and will I still get to watch my favorite shows?

How can I get rid of a previous iTunes account on an iPhone?

I had my iPhone under an iTunes account that is no longer valid. I have connected my iPhone to a new iTunes account but everytime I try to turn on iMessages or update apps, I am prompted to type the password for the previous account. Any ideas on how to solve this problem?!

You can't cancel an iTunes account.
All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. In order to install an app update for an app that was downloaded with your other iTunes account, you must use that iTunes account and password. You cannot combine accounts or transfer DRM from one account to another.

How can I get rid of an old iphone account as blocking all my streaming

I keep getting an old iphone account id popping up and asking me for passwork to access apple, I have registered a new id but cant seem to use it as the old one won't disappear, any ideas?

Thanks for the help, I have changed all my icloud, itunes and Apple to a new account name, but its just that when the phone 4s, asks to sign in it doesn't give me the option of choosing which account I want to sigh into, it just brings up my old account name. I'm thinking I may have to visit and Apple shop.

In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

I worked it out.
Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
Go to your HD.
Go to Users.
Go to your House (home)
there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
Go to Mail in this folder
The next folder ( for me ) is V2
Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
Best wishes.

Hi,
According to your descriptioin, I don't think this is system problem, it should be Intel driver problem. It would be contact Intel to confirm this issue whether this is their driver problem.

Undeletable e-mail in Mail - the latest! How can I get rid of it?

Following my recent posts about an undeletable e-mail received as undeliverable mail (I never sent it in the first place so it's obviously coming from a virused address book) I now have 13 copies of an identical e-mail which won't go away. My Mac says they're junk, but they're in the inbox and when I move them manually, they leave the inbox but don't appear in the junk. Once I return to the inbox, there they are again - with one more copy. There is no visible body, just a header stating:
"Subject: A hacker can access a public web site linked to an internal distributed file system and gain access to company and customer files."
I recently went to a PC forum for help and when I copied and pasted the header onto their forum , a green link appeared under the words "web site" taking me to a site "zimki.com" with whom I have never dealt.
How can I get rid of these self-generating e-mails?
Incidentally this message is not on my server as web mail access was used to delete it, so it only appears on the Mac.

Yes I did repost, as the original problem - a huge e-mail downloading - proved not to be the case so this is a more accurate description of the problem in the hope that I can get a more accurate solution.
I used the edit/ cut solution (thank you!) which removed the e-mails from my inbox, but they're now back with a vengeance including about twenty copies of one entitled "fez" (a virus maybe?) - I now have two of every e-mail downloading; my Mac tells me this fez message is junk but now adds that "You need to take this account on-line to download this message" - except the download in progress wheel keeps going on, and on, and on....and the new messages in my inbox (I now have two or three variations on the original theme) won't go anywhere except by edit / cut.
I'm tearing my hair out!!!
I've just erased all the messages by webmail, 52 messages, so it appears my Mac is also no longer automatically erasing the messages on the server after download even though the box for this is ticked.

"Show in Mail" link in To-Dos - can't get rid of, like a virus

Hello!
I use To-Dos in iCal intensively.
But strange thing started to happen - all my To-Dos magically get "Show in Mail" link in URL field.
When I enter a new To-Do - everything is fine,
but after a couple of days "Show in Mail" link sticks to it again.
(This link takes you to nowhere).
And I can't get rid of it any other way then just by deleting "infected" To-Do.
Please help.

I think I've got it fixed....I "reset" my mail program, I deleted my mailbox then re-created it and I'm all set for now.
