Do I need an Mobile Me account?

So this might be a stupid question...sorry in advance.
But, I have Mobile Me know but I am looking at not renewing my account...times are tough. But do I need it for my iWeb? I have published my website to a Go Daddy account, forwarded from or to the Mobile Me account...hope that makes sense. Sorry if I am not up n the exact verbage.
It has been awhile since I set-up everything and can't remember if I need Mobile Me or not.

...and log in. Click on Home in the left column, then on the Web folder in the next column and then on the Sites folder in the next column.
In the next column, do you see a folder named as your website? ...If so, you've published your site to MobileMe and so you need to continue to subscribe to MobileMe.
...Or you could decide to buy one of GoDaddy's hosting plans and publish your site to GoDaddy instead of MobileMe.

  • Can i use ichat between two separate macs on the same mobile me account?

    Can i use ichat over two separate macs on the same mobile me account?
    I have an imac at home and may be getting a macbook for work. Can i use my mobile me account to chat between the two macs or would i need a mobile me account per mac??

    Hi,
    No.
    You need two names that can login into AIM.
    In iChat you can use the Get an iChat Account which shows after you use the Plus Button in Accounts.
    This will give you a free @mac.com Name
    AIM Names are also free.

  • I have 2 mobil Me accounts, but I only Need one

    Hi Iused to have .mac account, and Idisk, then I bough the Iphone and created a new Mobil Me account (different) Which I use for everything but still under the Trial period. My question is how to transfer my Mobil Me Email to my .mac account so I do not waste What I had Paid for at the beginning ? .. I called apple and they said they can not help me.
    any thoughts

    You can not merge .Mac/MobileMe accounts. You need to continue either your old or the new account (or both).

  • Need help using WEB module in Lightroom 2 for .mac/mobile me accounts

    Hello,
    I need help in finding the Server path information for Lightroom 2.  I am trying to use the Web module of Lightroom and build a website and instead of going through another hosting service, I want to use my Mobile ME account, can't I do that?
    I have the user name and password obviously but what is the server path, protocol, path?
    Help please!
    Thanks
    Ray

    For those Mac Users using iWeb, MobileMe, and Lightroom 2, here are step-by-step instructions on how to create a web gallery in Lightroom, upload the gallery to MobileMe, and finally, how to link the uploaded files to the wesite you created in iWeb.
    1. In the Lightroom Library module, create a collection of photos you want to display in your web gallery.  For illustration purposes, we will call your collection Sunsets.  Once created, it will be listed under Collections in the left panel of Lightroom.
    2. Switch to the Lightroom Web module and select the Sunsets collection (from the panel on the left of the screen.)
    3. Chose whichever template you like (from the list of Templates in the left panel).
    4. Fine tune the appearance of the gallery using the controls in the right hand panel of Lightroom 2.
    5. When you are satisfied with the gallery’s appearance, use your keyboard to type Command-S.  That will save your template settings (give it a unique name when saving).
    6. Open up Finder on your Mac.  Inside your username folder, create a new folder… I'll call it Web Files.  (You can choose any name you like, and locate the file anywhere on your Mac HD.)  You have just created the folder username/Web Files.
    7. Back in the Lightroom Web module, chose Export, at the bottom of the right panel, and export your gallery to the folder you just made (e.g. export to username/Web Files).  By doing so, you will have created /username/Web Files/Sunsets.
    8. Once again open Finder on your Mac.  Go to /username/Web Files/Sunsets and you will see 3 files in the Sunsets folder: bin, index.html, and resources.
    9. Open a second Finder window and in it, click on your iDisk icon.  You will soon see all of the files on your iDisk.
    10. In iDisk, click on the folder called /Web.  You will now see the /Sites folder inside the /Web folder.  I.e., /Web/Sites.
    11. Drag the Sunsets file from your Mac HD to the /Sites folder on your iDisk.  E.g, drag Sunsets from /username/Web Files/Sunsets on your Mac HD to the /Sites folder in iDisk /Web/Sites.  The Sunsets folder (and the three files it contains) will now upload to your iDisk on MobileMe.
    12. Open iWeb on your Mac. Add a new page to your website.  Call it “Galleries,” or anything you like. (You can also use an existing page if you wish.)
    13.  On that “Galleries” web page (or on an existing web page), create a picture icon, or a word, or a symbol, or anything else that you will activate as a hyperlink to your iDisk web files - specifically, you will link it to the Sunsets folder you just uploaded to iDisk.
    14. Activate the hyperlink in iWeb’s Inspector.  In the URL box, type:
    http://web.me.com/username/Sunsets  (Don’t forget to substitute your name for “username” and the name of your gallery for “Sunsets.”)
    15. Save your website in iWeb, and then publish your site.
    You will NOT see your gallery in iWeb – you will see only the link to the gallery that you uploaded to iDisk..  To view your gallery, either make hyperlinks active, using the Inspector in iWeb and click on he link to the gallery, or visit your website on the internet.  If you want to edit your gallery, you will have to do that in Lightroom… then repeat steps 7 – 11.  You cannot edit your gallery in iWeb, but you can use iWeb to change the appearance of the link to your gallery, or to change it’s location within your website.

  • Transfering an e-mail address to Mobile Me account.  Do I need to?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm not sure if this post should go here or perhaps in the Mobile Me area. It involves both iWeb and Mobile Me.
    ===
    For about the last 10 years I’ve had my own domain name [www.morrisacevedo.com] It’s been hosted by various companies. The latest one was Network Solutions. However, I just moved my website over to my Mobile Me account. The reason is that I was able to make a much better looking and functioning website on my own with iWeb than I was able to with DreamWeaver given my limited skills.
    My website is currently on the Mobile Me account and not on Network Solutions and is working perfectly. The Network Solutions account ends at the end of November but I wanted to move the website before it expired.
    Here is my question:
    I have also had my e-mail address for the website as [email protected] My e-mail is working but I think that it’s still going through Network Solutions. How do I transfer [email protected] over to Mobile Me so that it still works after my Network Solutions account ends in a couple of weeks?
    I just have feeling that pointing [email protected] over to the Mobile Me hosting may not have taken care of my e-mail account as well. Does that make sense?

    I don't believe you can transfer/forward the email to MMe. When your contract ends with your current host so should the email address. If your site is up and running on MMe today, put a notice on your first page that you email address has changed and give it. But don't put it in text. Type in it iWeb and then take a screenshot of it and post the screenshot image file. You don't want spam crawlers harvesting your email address.
    You could encode your email address by one of the methods in this demo page: Embedding Forms & Encoding Email Addresses.
    You do know that you can create alias email addresses with your MMe account. You can have one for personal, one for business and one for online shopping (if you start getting span at that shopping email address you can delete it from the aliases and create a new alias).
    Also, until your contract is up in November forward your old email to your new MMe email so your replies will be from your new email address.

  • Can I sync a single calendar to two separate mobile me accounts

    My wife and I have separate dot mac accounts and separate mobil me accounts. We each keep separate work and personal contacts and calendars on our computers and they sync to our separate I phones. We would like to have a single family calendar that will sync automatically through mobil me for entries made by either of us to the others phone, downlinking to our separate computers.
    Is this possible?

    Please read this entire post before doing anything, so that you can understand what you need to do.
    My wife and I have the same scenario and I have a work around. Here is what we have:
    She has an iPhone 3g and a Mac Book. I have an IPhone 3Gs and a Mac Book Pro. I have my Mobile Me account, and she has her own Mobile Me account.
    Before you do anything, go to each of your computers and backup both your address books and calenders.
    Here is how I have ours sync:
    1) The 2 laptops are both setup under Mobile Me in the System Preferences under my Mobile Me account. In here, I have both laptops setup to sync the address book(s) and the calender(s) but nothing else.
    2) On your computer, import your wifes backed up address book and calenders into your iCal and Address Book on your computer. Make sure that your wifes calender had a different name than yours in the iCal program. I mean make sure that your calender and hers was not both labeled something like "Home". My wifes is labeled "Her Personal" and my calender is labeled "His Personal". You can do the same thing for the Hers and your address books, by putting them in different categories before you back them up and import them.
    3) After these are setup on your computer, then (a) go to System Preferences, and then (b) go to Mobile Me. In Mobile Me (c) click on the "Sync" tab. (d) Click on Advanced at the lower right hand corner of the window. Then (e) click on the Resync Data button. In the next window (f) click on the RIGHT arrow and the click replace. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) to your Mobile Me cloud.
    4) On your wifes computer repeat Step 3. Except, in step (f) click on the LEFT arrow. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) from you Mobile Me cloud to your wifes computer. You are now half way done.
    5) On your iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on your Mobile Me account. Here you will need to turn on Mail Contacts and Calenders.
    It will be setup a little different on your wifes iPhone however.
    6) On your wifes iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on her Mobile Me account. Here you need to make sure that only Mail is on. Make sure that Calenders and Contacts is turned off.
    7) Go back to Mail, Contacts, Calenders on your wifes iPhone. Click on Add Account. Here you will need to add YOUR Mobile Me account information.
    8) After you have entered you Mobile Me account information on her phone, go back into Settings and then to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on you Mobile Me account again. Under your account on her phone, turn off Mail, but turn on Contacts and Calenders.
    9) Open both the Calenders apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
    10) Open both the Contacts apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
    You should now be able to keep your contacts and address books in sync on both computers and iPhones, but still be able to keep you individual e-mail accounts in sync on the seperate computers and iPhones. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

    I have a Mobile Me email account which works perfectly on my Mac and iPhone. I created a an Alias Mobile Me Account on the web.
    I am able to create a new email from the alias account on the Mac.
    The iPhone will not recognize the alias account, I cannot add it or sync the account.
    I cannot send an email from my alias Mobile Me account from the iPhone.

    To all frustrated MobileMe alias owners who want to send email from iPhone - please go to the feedback area of the apple.com and leave messages regarding this issue. I had a lengthy conversation with a tech support guy who agreed that this is a needed fix - he said to initiate a grass roots effort - and that by all of us leaving messages it will eventually get attention and fixed. Why would Apple give us the ability to create alias's, use them on mobileme website, on our mac mail programs, but NOT the iPhone, which is the MOBILE device. Silly. Please protest!! Thanks.

  • I know have a mobile me account and so my apple id is switched from my email address.  i am trying to update my apps but it won't let me as it won't recognize my new 'ID'. how can i fix this on my iphone?

    I have mobile me account now and so my apple id is switched from my email address to my mobile me address.  Since I have made this change I can't update my apps. Everytime I try to sign in it won't recognize the switch. I have updated all the proper information on my iphone, however, when updating apps it still shows my apple id as my email address and not the mobile me account address. I am not sure what else to do???  I have even sync'd my iphone and tried to do it through my pc, however, it says that it can't update (nothing to update). I have ten updates sitting on my iphone apps...What to do...what to do?  Very confused.

    Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
    Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
    If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Can I publish more than one website to my Mobil Me account? -- Urgent!

    I need to create a 2nd website with iWeb and publish it using Mobil Me. Can I do this using my existing Mobil Me account? I seem to be able to publish only one site at a time.
    If I need to set up a 2nd Mobil Me account, how do I differentiate the two?
    I may need to transfer the original website to another person who would set up their own Mobil Me account. If I do, where are the files for my original website? I would have to copy those for the new person so they could access the site on their own Mac.
    Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

    Michael,
    Your web site file is located in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. It's titled "domain.sites2".
    You'll want to make sure that you back up this file from time to time otherwise you'll lose all your hard work if your hard drive fails or if this file becomes corrupted for some reason. All of your web sites and pages are all located within this file.
    No need to open up another Mobil Me account. You can publish all of your sites from your account.
    Gramps.

  • I have an apple ID and a separate mobile me account...

    I'm a long time .mac and mobile me user that is now getting around to finding out what I need to do to transition to iCloud. I've been searching to find answers to a few questions and not finding exactly what I need to know - so let me just ask them all at once.
    I have a separate apple id (that has been used to purchase thousands of $$ of music and movies through iTunes) that is not connected with my mobile me ID. From what I've read, I can't merge these - so one will have to go and one will have to become my ID for iCloud.
    Since I don't want to lose access to all my music and movies - I'm guessing I will need to use my apple ID to create an iCloud account. Using my Apple ID will ensure that I can continue to have all the media I've purchased across my desktop, laptop, iPad, iPod and iPhone.
    My mobile me account has been used to sync 10 or so calendars and all my many contacts. Since all the calendars are now online since the mobile me calendar upgrade a while back - how do I not lose them all when I close out my mobile me account to open a new iCloud account with my apple ID (I'm guessing there is no easy transition of data from one account to another?) I'm terrified to switch to iCloud now because I can't merge my IDs - so I'm afraid I will lose ALL my calendar history and contacts.
    Can someone tell me what I should do here?
    Lost in the Cloud

    You should continue to use your Apple ID for your iTunes account whatever you do in terms of iCloud syncing and mobile me.
    If you would like to use the Apple ID you use for iTunes for iCloud syncing. just create an iCloud account using that Apple ID. If you do this you will need to add an iCloud mail address which can't be your mobile me address as that is already taken.
    If you want to create another Apple ID for use with iCloud so that you keep your @me address from your mobile me account you can do that by migrating from mobile me to iCloud, you can do that too, your Apple ID for iCloud will then be your @me address.
    If you migrate your calendars and contacts will also be migrated and continue to work in iCloud. If you create an iCloud account using the Apple ID you use for iTunes you will be given the oportunity to merge your calendars and contacts.
    Whichever you choose, it would be agood idea to export your calendars and contacts for back up purposes before doing anything.

  • HT204053 I had a mobile me account and now i have two apple id's how do i make it just one?

    When I signed up for icloud I was told that i could just use my mobile me account. The problem was that my mobile me account creates an address for me and now that address is my icloud id. In addition to that my itunes store address is different but it is also an icloud id, but i want just one id. is there any way i can merge the two?

    The same thing happened to me because I had an Apple ID that was not an email address under which I had made all my purchases and a me.com address that I initially used to set up my iCloud account.  If you want to get all your purchases from the Cloud, then you need to do a couple of things:  first, change the Apple ID that you purchased all your stuff under to be an email address.  You can do that yourself by going to the page where you change your Apple ID.  I think it's applied.apple.com but if that's not it, just search for "My Apple ID" in the search box on the support page.  Sign in with your existing ID -- the one that is not an e-mail address -- and change it to an e-mail address.  Be sure to remember this Apple ID.  Then create your iCloud account using this Apple ID.  You should be able to get all your stuff to download using this account.
    The problem with this is now you will NOT have an iCloud account associated with your MobileMe account.  If you're OK with that, you're good to go.  I think you still have time to manually download all your stuff from MobileMe.
    Apple phone support walked me through this, so if my instructions are confusing you can call them and get them to walk you through it too.  It's a common problem.

  • How do you set up Mail without a mobile me account?

    I am trying to set up my sister's new Macbook so she can send and receive mail.
    She does not have a mobile me or .mac account.
    She had been using an older powerbook, using Safari and a yahoo account.
    Now, with this new Macbook in Snow Leopard, I want her to be able to use Mail but am unable figure out what settings to use.
    Her ISP is something called HEMC. On the older machine, in Entourage, the account name looked like this: username@hemc(POP). Though she did not actually use Entoourage, she used web mail (Safari or Firefox and her Yahoo account.
    For incoming mail server I have tried mail.yahoo.com; and pop3.yahoo. com; and mail.hemc.com
    None of these work.
    For outgoing I have tried all sorts of variations of smtp. Smtp.yahoo.com; smtp.hemc.com;
    Meanwhile, if I use Safari and log in to her mail account there, all is working.
    I ran into this before trying to help someone else. This is a snap if you have a mobile me account. But not if you don't.

    Yahoo! Mail Settings
    Yahoo Mail offers standard POP3 access for receiving emails incoming through your Yahoo mailbox, by using your favorite email client software. To setup your email client for working with your Yahoo account, you need to select the POP3 protocol and use the following mail server settings:
    Yahoo Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.mail.yahoo.com (port 110)
    Yahoo Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - smtp.mail.yahoo.com (port 25)
    POP Yahoo! Mail Plus email server settings
    Yahoo Plus Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
    Yahoo Plus Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) - plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com (SSL enabled, port 465, use authentication)
    Google GMail Settings
    The Google GMail service offers email client access for retrieving and sending emails through your Gmail account. However, for security reasons, GMail uses POP3 over an SSL connection, so make sure your email client supports encrypted SSL connections.
    Google Gmail Incoming Mail Server (POP3) - pop.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 995)
    Outgoing Mail Server - use the SMTP mail server address provided by your local ISP or smtp.gmail.com (SSL enabled, port 465)

  • I have 2 iphones and a macbook on one mobile me account.  How can I keep mail in the macbook and one iphone private from the other iphone?

    I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account.  How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

    Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

  • Can I chat between 2 computers with one mobile me account?
