Do i need to remove the .mac account from my mail

HI,
Just setup the icloud, everything seems to be working fine, getting mail exc..
But when i open my mail i see that the .mac acount is offline! i get the message:
The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user -------------
in the accounts setup it shows two accounts:
.Mac iCloud IMAP -- the one thats Off-line
iCloud icloud IMAP -- On-line
Did all the change password stuff for everything
anyways the short of it, was wanting to know if i should just delete the .Mac account out of the list now that i am changed over to the iCloud.
thanks for any help
Barry

Update:
I did remove the old .mac account from mail:
(MAC) Mail--Preferences--Accounts
Just the iCloud Account remains
so no more having the .Mac account offline,
no more trying to enter a password that just will not work
everything is working Great! receiving all my email.
Hope this helps someone
Barry

I recently upgraded to Lion and am using the current version. I cannot remove the guest account from the startup screen. I disabled it in the system pref but it still appears.

I downloaded and installed the most recent verison of Lion for my iMac. After doing so I noticed that my start up screen now has a "guest" account. I went into settings and disabled the "guest" account. Still, the startup sceen displays a "guest" account and allows one to start the computer in a "safari" only mode.
How do I removed the "guest" account from the start up screen and disable access via the "guest" account?

Have a read here OS X 10.7.2 with iCloud showing Guest user account at log-in
To get rid of it, uncheck "Find my Mac" in System Peferences -> iCloud

Is there anyway I can remove the MAC formatting from my hard drive so I can view it on a PC?

I bought an external hard drive for all of my pictures and videos. While it was plugged into my computer, I was asked if I wanted to use this hard drive for Time Machine (To back-up my stuff). I said yes. Now, I am not able to share any of the photos and videos I have on there unless I bring my laptop with, or remove them and put them on a flash drive, then take the flash drive. Is there anyway to fix this without removing everything off of my hard drive or buying a new one? I am even considering either using a flash drive to back up, or not backing up at all. Thanks!

Are you sure all those files that were on that drive are still on that drive. Any time you format a drive, especially when you change the format, everything is erased from the drive.
to answer your question, No there isn't a way to remove the Mac fomatting and retain files on the drive. you would need to copy all of them to some other drive first then reformat the drive.

Need to REMOVE Apple ID account from previously owned iMac

I recently purchased a previously owned iMac and need to REMOVE its previous Apple ID account to remove apps that they obviously purchased. Can this be done? I am being prompted to update these apps and when I try, I am asked to enter this OLD account. I actually want to REMOVE these apps for I have zero interest in them. The system was supposedly wiped of all previous info from previous owner but I guess they over-looked the apps.
Can someone advise and give me a step by step break down on how to do this? Remember, I have my own Apple ID but the apps were downloaded from a previous Apple ID account that is NOT mine but was on this system.
Thanks

And thanks to you, HW.
I see you got one quick answer. But you need more.
Leave it until your post sinks near the bottom of the list then revive it by writing to your own post ... say, 'can anyone add to these answers?' It's Sunday morning!

How can I remove the Guest account from the login screen?

I'm very new to the Mac world so pardon this noob question. But how can I control what user accounts are visible on the login screen on OS X? I've already went into the System Preference, User Accounts and set the Guest account to disabled. However this account is still on the logon screen when I reboot the Mac! How can I remove this account and/or make sure that my user account is the only one visible?

I'm not sure why this worked, but I found this in another post and it worked for me.
Even when the Guest Account / Access is disabled, the login option / and lock screen, still have a guest login.
This is because in Preferences/ Security & Privacy/General the bottom item is turned on.
Turn on: Disable restarting to Safari when screen is locked

Does any one know how to remove the guest account from the start up screen

ihave had this problem for a while now and still can't make it go away i have be in system prefreces and accounts but i still can't make it out

To expand a bit on that answer, Find My Mac allows you to locate, lock or erase your MBP remotely if it gets lost or stolen. But that is only possible if the person who finds it is able to log in somehow and get on a network. Thus the guest account being turned on as long as Find My Mac is enabled in System Preferences -> iCloud. Note that the guest account does not make your computer any more insecure, but if it really bothers you, you'll have to turn off Find My Mac. And note that if your computer is stolen while that setting is off, there's nothing you can do about it other than call the police.

Can I dump a .Mac account from Mail on 1 computer and not lose the data on

I have 3 Macs: eMac, intel iMac, Macbook; all are using Mac Mail. 2 users look at our single .mac IMAP account daily; my son never uses it on his machine. Consequently he's accumulated thousands of messages, attachments, etc. on his machine that he'll never use. I want to dump the .mac account from his machine but I know If I delete messages on one machine it will dump them from the server. Can I first delete the account on the intel iMac, then go to the appropriate mail folder on his machine & empty it of files to reduce the clutter without affecting what's on the .Mac server and subsequently the messages on the other 2 machines?
Thanks for your help

If the messages are on the server then there are no messages on his machine. Thus, if you dump the account all the messages on the server will be permanently lost. An IMAP account leaves all messages on the server.

How can i remove the shuffle symbol from my itunes on my laptop

i need to remove the shuffle symbol from my itunes on my laptop as i cannot rearrange my playlist. can anyone help please.

If you mean the shuffle icon at the top of the playlist next to its name then you can't e.g.
If you want to change the order of the tracks then click on the first column (the 'number') to sort by that (if the tracks are currently sorted by track name, artist etc then you won't be able to change their order ) e.g.
And you should then be able to drag the tracks into a different order.
If they don't then play in that order on your computer's iTunes then when playing make sure that the shuffle icon in the window/box at the top of the iTunes screen isn't blue (i.e. 'on') - if it is then click on it to turn it grey and 'off' :

How do I remove the text message from my iPad

Someone please help, I am a teacher and I use an iPad in my classroom. I just purchased my first iPhone, but somehow, some icons from my phone appear on my iPad. The main one that worries me is my text messaging. I need to remove the text messaging from my iPad.

Hi, Srta. Sunshine.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend signing out of iMessage or turning this feature off on your iPad. You can sign out of iMessage by selecting Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Select Your Apple ID > Sign Out. Or you can turn off iMessage by selecting Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.

Master Data Service: how to remove the dirty data from master data service from a table using store procedure?

hello, we need to remove the dirty data from MDS, but we found we can only do this from MDS web, and we need to do this by store procedure to make this process automatically. is there any easy method to remove the data from MDS automatically? thank.
Warren

Hi Warren,
Assuming the dirty data is easily identifiable, all you need to do is use the staging process with import type of 5 (de-activate - i.e., soft delete) or import type of 6 (hard delete).
Could give more details if I knew the version of MDS you are running (SQL 2008R2 or SQL 2012).
Kind regards,
M
