IDisk WebDAV error message - how do I get rid of this?

Years ago, I used to have an iDisk account. The iDisk link is still on my desktop. Starting 2 days ago, I keep getting this error:
"WebDAV File System Authentification
Enter your user name and password to access the server at the URL "http://idisk.mac.com/kristinamc_tda/" in the realm "idisk.mac.com."
My only options are to cancel and save. I press cancel and the message comes right back, so I cancel again and it stays gone for about 20-30 minutes. I have no idea how to get rid of this or why it started doing this. Since the account doesn't technically exist, I'm thinking that the password will never be correct - I've tried entering what I thought was the password, but it never accepts it. I have tried to see if removing the iDisk link on my desktop would make it stop, but I cannot get rid of it. I am trying to write a paper and this annoying error is about to make me freak out. Does anyone have any idea what I should do to fix this?

You may also want to open Keychain Access in Applications/Utilities and delete any referrence to the earlier name.
I would send yourself an Email with the info in to keep a permanent record in case you ever decide to activate that name again.
A lapsed @mac.com name can be used in iChat for free so you may not want to go this far.

  • Error 404 - how do I get rid of this message on my Google page when I open Safari?

    How do I get rid of error 404 on my Google page when I open Safari?

    Safari - Reset Safari - choose all options and reset Safari.
    If that does not work then check to see what Safari extensions you have installed, one or more may be creating a problem.
    Another possible fix is restarting in Safe Mode which clears some caches, one or more may have become corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode simply hold down the Option key when you hear the startup tone until a progress bar appears. Then test Safari and then restart normally.

  • When I try to Log In to my email I get "ERROR:SearchApp" How do I get rid of this, please?

    I Have Windows 7 64 bit system this has just happened i have been suing my email for years.

    I have had this intermittently and reported it to Talk Talk my ISP and Mail box provider. Though the person I talked to had not heard of the problem it went away for a several weeks after this.

Perhaps others with the same problem could confirm if problem is only seen with Talk Talk Mail or not, so helping run the problem down

  • When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed."  After clicking on "OK" another box pops up saying "The server responded with an error."  How can I get rid of these?

    When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed," and after clicking ok there is another box saying "The server responded with an error."  How do I get rid of this.  The calendar functions all right, but just have to close both of those boxes after doing any action in the calendar app.

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.
    Step 1
    From the Calendar menu bar, select
    Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
    Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked
    Enable this account
    Then check the box again. Test.
    Step 2
    Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.
    Step 3
    If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.
    Step 4
    Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache  
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • 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.

  • TS4003 Since the MobileMe move I keep getting a screen that says "IDisk Conflict Resolver." I've done everything asked to "resolve" the problem but it keeps popping up every few minutes. How can I get rid of this?

    Since the MobileMe move I keep getting a pop-up screen that says "IDisk Conflict Resolver." I've done everything asked to "resolve" the problem but it keeps popping up every few minutes. How can I get rid of this?

    Ok....so I have found a work around....if not a complete solution.
    I'm not sure if deleting your music, uninstalling ITunes and reinstalling and adding your music back will actually affect it but I tried it again. Started from scratch.
    I checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos"
    Then I moved my music to phone via drag and drop, usually just boxing a row of albums at a time.
    I went back into my Iphone and began the sync. The message popped up, "1 Item could not be synced" and the sync stopped. At that point, I just clicked sync again and it started back up again. It took a few go's but eventually I got all my music on my phone.
    Ironically enough, the only songs that wouldn't sync were songs that I had actually purchased from Itunes....kinda odd

    HI,
    I would ask if it is in a file format that the reciever can understand and deal with. iChat can deal with anything that Preview can deal with.

  • How do I get rid of "This is embarassing" message that is now default when opening Firefox. H

    How can I get rid of this tab the message refers to and the error message?

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly.
    Try to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
