Do I need a MobileMe account?

Hello,
I Made my web site using iWeb '08. If I let my MobileMe account expire, will my web site go away? Or, will it continue to exist without me being able to access/edit it? Don't know why I don't know this but I don't. Thanks in advance.

The main difference is that you publish your website to a local folder and upload it using an FTP application. Some info here....

Two iPhones, One MobileMe Account?

I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like verification before I plunk down the cash...
I've had an iPhone for a while now, and I've been a .mac subscriber pretty much since that was launched.
My wife just got her iPhone yesterday. She has her bookmarks, contacts, etc. I have mine. If she syncs to MobileMe via my account, the two separate data sets (bookmarks, contacts, and calendars) become merged, right?
The only way to keep her data and my data separate is to upgrade to the family plan for MobileMe, right?
Thanks,

Correct you need 2 MobileMe accounts, a family setup will be fine.

Family Migration Strategy needed (from mobileme)

My brain is about to explode. I have read countless articles about mobileme to iCloud migration, and I am NOT clear as to how to accomplish this...
- I have an "AppleID" ([email protected]) that I have used for my family for countless years to purchase iTunes content.
- I have a mobileme account ([email protected]) that I have been using for a few years for iCal and Address book sync between 3 family iPhones and 3 family macs. Yes, we all share calendars and contacts.
It is my understanding that iCloud does not want us to share contacts and calendars. But as a family we want a single address book -- at least a subset of our addresses should be "shared".
I know that we can use the old AppleID for the store -- [email protected] -- ok, fine.
BUT - what is the best solution for:
- iCal calendars. We want to share our calendars between all macs and all IOS devices;
- Address Book. We have a family shared database -- and we want this shared. In our perfect world, we would have a group shared address book, and then local, non-shared part (didn't Now Contact handle this just perfectly 12+ years ago?)
Am I reading this corectly that we can have a 3rd AppleID for certain iCloud services? Is this true? But the "migration" is going to be a mess since we already are using, "[email protected]" for mobileme -- yes?
CAN I DO THIS:
1. use my existing [email protected] AppleID for iTunes (purchased content) for ALL devices;
2. use my existing [email protected] AppleID as MY iCloud address - for all iCloud services EXCEPT calendar, address book and photo stream;
3. create a new [email protected] AppleID for wife's iCloud services, EXCEPT calendar, address book and photo stream;
4. create a new [email protected] for daughter's iCloud services, EXCEPT calendar, address book and photo stream;
5. create a new [email protected] for FAMILY SHARED iCloud services: calendar, address book and photo stream;
Will this work for us?
Yes, WE WANT to share our calendars, our contacts and our photos.
Will the fact that I already have 2 Apple IDs (and one is mobileme) get in the way?
Is this strategy of a "3rd/SHARED" AppleID for contacts and calendars the correct approach?
Is there a best-way to do the migration?
Is there a worst-way/guaranteed to fail/avoid-or-else method?
WE DO NOT use mobileme or appleID for email.
WE HAVE gmail accounts in addition to our [email protected] addresses.
My macs are still on Snow and my iphones are still iOS 4.x (all iPhone 4), so I can't really try it and revert. I really want to take advantage of Lion and iOS5 features -- but if I can't do the shared calendars AND contacts, I need to find the solution before I do this.
Thanks in advance for your assistance here.

You should continue to your iTunes Store ID as you have done before, logging into iCloud sync services won't change this.
You can do all that you suggest however you can only log into one iCloud account at a time and your suggestion would require you to keep logging in and out of accounts which would all be rather clumsy.

How do I push contacts back to my Macbook Pro without a MobileMe Account

Hello -
I accidentally deleted my contacts from my MacBook Pro (have no idea how I did that) and my most recent back up file is about 1 month old (my fault) but I really need to get the lastest version back onto my computer. I have an updated, clean set of contacts on my iPad2 and my iPhone 4. I can't figure out how to synch back to my Mac - push this set of contacts back to my computer. I read a related support post, but the problem is I never had a MobileMe Account - The provided solution required one. Now, I can't sign up for a MobileMe account even if I wanted to because of iCloud.
So, my question to you out there is how can I synch my contacts back from either my iPad2 or iPhone4 to my MacBook Pro but without a mobilMe account?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Two iPhones on same MobileMe account but one keeps turning a calendar on.

Hello. I have two iPhones that I have connected to one MobileMe account. We do that so certain calendars, notes, etc will sync. I have a certain set of calendars turned on on one of them and a different set on the other. I made a new calendar for bills and one for other reminders that we both don't need. Turned them on on one and off on the other. On the one which they are turned off, one of them keeps turning back on after it is switched off. I have not been able to determine how long it takes but it eventually does turn on because the next time the reminders are supposed to come up it is definitely on there. Any idea why this might be?

But could I at least use the Find My Iphone app on the second Iphone if I just leave all the other Icloud options off? If I activate Find My Iphone on the second phone, will it just show two Iphones in the menu when I search for the Iphone on my Mac, or do I need to set up a second Icloud account for the second phone?
That will work just fine.

HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries. MobileMe Galleries are going away in June. How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries. MobileMe Galleries are going away in June. How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing. Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
More things you can do:
With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not. You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing. As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos. I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special. Any way - search around to find answers.

IWeb 09 Multiple sites with multiple MobileMe accounts

Hi guys, one more for you,
i have my MobileMe account and my website, i also create to more small sites just for testing purpose, i want to know if i can have multiple websites on iWeb and each one with their own MobileMe account.
(e.g)
-- site1 ( [email protected])
-- site2 ( [email protected])
-- site3 ( [email protected])
i have only One Mac computer and i have to work on 3 different sites with only this computer.
Help please... I am new to Mac world ( but i love it )

Do you really have 3 separate users or just want to publish 3 separate sites? If it's the latter then you can do all of them with just one MMe account. In your domain file with three sites the top size will be the "alpha" site in that if you enter the minimum URL, http://web.me.com/YourMMe_AccountName/, the top site will come up. To go to the other two sites you'll need to add the site name on the end of the URL above, i.e. http://web.me.com/YourMMe_Account_Name/Site_1name/.
In this economy if you can do what you want with one account that's saving some $$$$.

How can I use the templates in iPhoto to email my photos if I don't have a mobileMe account?

I have upgraded to iLife11 and want to use the cool templates to email photos. I don't have a mobileme account. It doesn't appear that I can Use the templates. Am I doing something wrong?

What do you mean by the AOL screen? Is AOL your ISP? If it is popping up to connect you to the internet that might be what is preventing you from composing an email. It also could be that AOL was set up as your default email client. Do you use AOL as an ISP/Email client?
In Mac OS X Lion (I can't vouch for any other version of Mac OS) to change your default mail viewer/client open up apple's mail app. Go to file->settings Under the general tab it's the top choice if it is set to AOL, you might want to switch it so you can get it to come up with the email you actually use. Also if you do use AOL, they should have a section in their help about setting up "pop3" email, or how to use AOL mail in outlook. Now the steps might not be the same as far as what menu choices you have to make, but what you're gonna get out of that section is incomming/out going server's and anything else like ports and etc. Apple's mail app needs all that same information.

HT5527 I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

I did not move my Mobileme account to iCloud. How can I get off the iCloud mailing list?

If you migrated your MobileMe account before 1 August you should have signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it, and you would be able to see your calendars, bookmarks and emails on the iCloud website. Is this the case? Did you sign into iCloud with your @me.com address?
If you did not migrate your MobileMe account you can no longer do so.
If you did migrate, did you do so from a full MobileMe account or from a Family Pack sub-account? the latter did not get the complimentary storage (because their iDisks were only 5GB anyway).
If you had a full MobileMe account, check on your Mac - System Preferences>iCloud - and see whether that shows the upgrade. If it doesn't, you probably need to contact Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support (MobileMe Support is no longer available) and you may be asked to pay a fee: in this case you should ask them to deal with it without cost (and hope they agree).
Note that you haven't paid anything for your MobileMe storage since your first renewal date after 6 June 2011, and iCloud costs nothing unless you specifically choose to upgrade the storage. Note also the iCloud storage is not general file storage in the manner of the iDisk but is restricted to iOS device Backup, Mail, Photo Journal and Documents.

Is using iWeb without a MobileMe account futile

I have no need for a MobileMe account so it's way overpriced compared to an average host.
I was able to do this much - publish an iWeb site to a local folder and use my Mac as a host (This shouldn't matter but I used the Safari server with MAMP - i.e. Macintosh Apache MySql PHP) to get more functionality than the one with Leopard. Using Port forwarding allows the Mac to be a host, but obviously this isn't a good solution if you understand IP. The RSS and Podcast features worked except for the comment functionality and the search didn't, but I can work around that.
I started out using this method because the only other publish option was "Publish to a folder". (which you select on your local file system) I really want to publish to a remote host. I don't know of any way to do this here, but perhaps there is:
So one question is: Is there a way on Leopard to make a folder a kind of alias for an HTTP address:? Or some other clever method of using publish to folder publish the files to a host via HTTP.
Mobile networking is a huge trend and Apple shouldn't have to shut out the few of us that don't want it now by not having a publish feature in iWeb that allows you to use a host of your choice. It doesn't matter why iWeb was written this way. I'm just really frustrated because it's a waste of 80$ for me if I can't get this to work.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, because I'd certainly like to be wrong about this. But not including a publish feature that allows you to select a remote host seems rather suspect.
Ok, I had what I thought was a very acceptable and reasonable workaround, which has very desirable features. I came up against another limitation that I find really hard to live with, if I can't find an easy workaround. iWeb generates a lot of files in a folder structure. So, I tried reading them into Adobe Dreamweaver (which is by far the best XHTML editor available and adheres to the newest w3c standards.) When I tried this, half of the site just didn't work, and the scripting was not functional in IE 7. I'm sure tons of other stuff doesn't work and I didn't even bother to go through it all. Using Dreamweaver would allow me to publish to a host of my choice and it would also allow me to do things that iWeb can't do.
I like iWeb, especially for it's podcasting implementation, but it's obviously is very limited. I always assumed that since HTML is such a ubiquitous and well established standard that I just assumed iWeb HTML could be read with most any HTML editor, especially Dreamweaver. If I wanted any advanced functionality I could get it there, and use iWeb for the podcasting and simple sites.
Is iWeb so proprietary that it's generating HTML and supporting files that can't be edited in a product as superb as Dreamweaver? Has anyone had any luck editing the files produced by iWeb in another HTML editor? I would have thought this was a given.
I'm hoping that someone can give me some workarounds. Otherwise, it will confirm my theory that Apple is forcing MobileMe as a host for iWeb sites, which is really restrictive and unnecessary.
This is extremely frustrating and so if anyone has any workarounds to these problems, I'd really appreciate hearing them.
Otherwise, I just wasted 80$ on iLife, which I don't appreciate. And if getting iLife 09 is the workaround, I think I'd need to be convinced that it can both publish to any host and that it produces files that are compatible with Dreamweaver to even consider it.
Thank you for your help,
-Frank

fpatrick08,
My 2 cents, I though about getting mobileme service but the $99 per year stopped me. After I got my hosting with another company I found out that amazon sell the service for $69 per year. I still do not use mobileme but with Cyberduck and some work around it work pretty decent. You can see it by yourself here: http://www.wesdotphotography.com/Home.html
Hope this help

How I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?

Any ideas how I can see what accounts I created with my family pack in my old mobileme account?
i updated it when we need to migrate and all emails are active and being used.
i need to update an email address. we use this for my personal company and need to keep the email in
the same format so it matches the others in the company. i dont see it anywhere in my account now.
i am using a .mac format. thanks.

In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
Open iTunes
Click Store
Click Account
Click View Account
Enter your password
Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
Thanks guys...

Some urgent help needed with MobileMe suddenly saying my password is wrong

Hi
First of all I want to say sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I needed some urgent help and I couldn't find a forum other than this that might relate to this issue.
The issue that I am having is with my MobileMe Account. I was on my Mac, when when my MobileMe Account suddenly dropped its connection and told me that I had entered the wrong username or password (I know I hadn't) I tried to re-enter them but every time I try I just get a message that says I have entered the wrong username or password. I no longer have access to my Mail, I can not sing-in to MobileMe to access my online account and it wont let me change the password because it keeps saying that safari can not open the page.
I can not sign-in to my MobileMe folders on my Mac and it wont sync. I was signed in perfectly fine before this happened so I know its nothing to-do with my password or user name.
I am now locked out of MobileMe and need some help as to what might have went wrong
Can someone please give me some quick help as this is really worrying me as I am afraid my MobileMe account might of been hacked (that is the kind of behaviour that I am seeing - saying that my username and password are wrong, when they are not, and not letting me sign in to change them)
Huge thanks

Ughhh,
it seems my panic was for nothing. I just ran apple 24 hour support and they put it right for me it cost me but I'd rather be safe and pay then loose all the information I have on MobileMe. This has taught me a lesson anyway, I need to keep a backup of everything and not just rely on time machine

Do not have mobileme account, but, iphoto starts connection process and I get repeated error messages "difficulty connecting to mobileme"...how do I fix?

I do not have a MobileMe account. Yet, when trying to upload photos from iPhoto to FaceBook I get repeated messages, "Difficulty connecting to MobileMe." This is after the rainbow wheel spins for a while. Sometimes I have to force quit iPhoto because iPhoto locks up. This also happens on occasion while I'm working in iPhoto, such as moving between albums or editing features. I use iPhoto '11 with latest updates. How can I resolve this issue?

Hey,
If you've resolved the issue by turning off syncing then no further troubleshooting is needed. Having syncing turned off will prevent you from syncing an iOS device over USB with calendars / contacts. The only time iPhoto talks to MobileMe is if you have a MobileMe account added (as far as I am aware).
If you wish to troubleshoot further:
I checked out my User>Library>Caches and >Preferences. Neither had a >com.apple.iphoto file.
These must exist otherwise iPhoto would not be working at all as they are required for it to launch. Lets try another route to get to the same location.
Click on the Finder icon in the dock (smiley face)
Go to "Go" > "Home" at the top of the computer screen
Double-click "Library"
Double-click "Caches"
Go to "View" > "As List" at the top of the computer screen
-- This list should now be alphabetical...if not click on the column called "Name" to alphabatize
-- Locate a blue folder called "com.apple.iphoto" and remove to the trash
Click on the Finder icon in the dock (smiley face)
Go to "Go" > "Home" at the top of the computer screen
Double-click "Library"
Double-click "Preferences"
Go to "View" > "As List" at the top of the computer screen
-- This list should now be alphabetical...if not click on the column called "Name" to alphabatize
-- Locate the files called "com.apple.iphoto" they will have a variety of endings. As long as they say "com.apple.iphoto" drag them to the trash.
- Restart the computer
If the issue persists I would try with a new iPhoto Library. Hold down option and launch iPhoto and create a new library. Add a picture or two and then test.
