How can I disable my MobileMe account as sender in the iOS Mail app?

Ever since I logged on to iCloud in OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.0, 10.8.1), I've noticed that in Gmail (using the Mail app for iOS), on my iPhone running iOS 5.1.1, the sender appears to be my MobileMe account (an account I had to use a while back when I first got started using iCloud, but haven't actually used).
Besides flooding my iCloud account mail information with sent mail and the fact that I don't want people associating my email address with the wrong address, it's very annoying that when I choose my regular Gmail address as the sender mail, the next time I send an email, the MobileMe address is the default address yet again.
The problem persists even though I have:
Disabled the iCloud email account (@me.com) in the Mail app in OS X Mountain Lion (the OS in which, by all accounts—no pun intended—it all started).
Disabled iCloud to use and sync Mail.
This is the settings for Gmail in Mountain Lion, in which disabling Mail and the MobileMe account for use, should be the only email address associated with my iCloud account (excepts it obviously isn't as MobileMe is tied to my AppleID for whatever purpose Apple saw fit back in the day):
I saw a thread here discussing the posibility of deleting the iCloud account on the iPhone, powering it off and then, when powered back on, simply signing in again with iCloud. I'm nor sure this is a "solution" as much as a way around something I cannot understand is happening in spite of the changed I have made already.
Surely, someone must be able to tell me what I can do to simply not have my @me.com email address set to the default From address in Mail in iOS. Other than that, I have no real problem with the @me email address being used, at all.
It's just so annyoing when trying to send a quick reply to a colleague or something.
Please discuss below.

I feel funny replying to myself; I cannot remove this discussion and at any rate, I guess if someone else has this problem, they'll be pleased it has not been deleted.
So, I managed to fix this all on my own. Obviously the difficulty-level is about as low as it gets:
After updating to iOS 6 last night, I was playing around in the settings of my phone, when I came across this, the iCloud for Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calandars > Accounts > iCloud:
All I had to do was to turn Mail off. This leaves the Cc/Bcc, From field empty in my phone's Mail app--just the way I wanted it!

I try to log into my Apple ID and it says that it has sent a E-Mail to my Apple ID to vertify that it is me, I understand that but what I don't get is that I can't get onto my account to click open the E-Mail to vertify myself. Any Help?

I try to log into my Apple ID and it says that it has sent an E-Mail to my Apple ID to vertify that it is me, I understand that but what I don't get is that I can't get onto my account to click open the E-Mail to vertify myself. Any Help?
This is on the Apple ID manage and create page, this has happened to three of my accounts and I seem to get to the same exact spot and it just contradicts itself and won't let me log on at all. I have hooked up two E-mail accounts to the Apple Account and Vertified the accounts through the E-Mails sent to the external E-Mails but it still doesn't let me get into my Apple E-Mail at all.

I logged in changed the primary E-Mail address to a different one, vertified it then tried to log in it said either to send an E-Mail to veritify again or to do my security questions, so I choose to do the security questions and put in my Birthday like it asked and it said that it was wrong and I had to authenticate it to get in, why is it so hard to just set up a Apple ID really though!
So I tried the E-Mail to and it has not sent me an E-Mail then I tried to log in again and it has locked me out of my account so I try to recover my password and it gave me the same options to get my password back and both options are doing the same as before, it says I don't know my on birth date or it is wrong or needs authenticate it, then the E-Mail doesn't come through!
This is just stupid now.

My iPad was stolen, how can I have it blocket and/or send to the iPad a message to get it back

If you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was stolen, and if it is still turned on and connected to the internet with Find My iPad enabled, you can do this by going to icloud.com as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165.

How can I connect my MobileME account and my Apple ID?

I used my AppleID to purchase Songs and Apps. Two years ago I opened a MobileME account and in the background Apple created a second AppleID (my mobileMe amail). Yesterday I transfered MovileMe to iCloud and started useing it on my iPad. Because I purchased all my apps on my other ID its now impossible to use all the iCloud fetures.

I too have the same situation an original Itunes ID and then a Mobileme ID. After I used my Mobileme account to transfer everything to icloud; I noticed I had no available purchases on the Itune store to download. I have purchased tons of music so where in the cloud did it go?? Still on Itunes! I went to support pages and it told me that I could have two Apple ID's one for store and another for Icloud just like mobile me work. They would work together, so it told me. I did just that put my old Apple ID into the Store account in Settings. Thought I was done and Happy.
Well then I got a message that my icloud account was not correct, and could not retrieve mail. Yes it was! Even Verifired it again. Still nothing. Went to the store setting logout of the Itunes ID and used the icloudID/"old mobilemeID", now I can get mail again.
So now I guess when I want to purchase music, or download music from my ItunesID; I will have to go to store enter the ItunesID and purchase/download then log out. This is not what the support page said you would have to do. But the two ID's on one device do no work correctly. Seems like something is not working, but will give it a couple of weeks to get all the kinks worked out.

How do I disable my MobileMe account and add iCloud as the account for sharing photos in iPhoto?

I have been trying to email work photos from my MacBook that were downloaded from my iPhone into iPhoto. However, it states, "the server does not recognized your email/password". I had/have a MobileMe account but have transferred everything over to iCloud. Unfortunately, iCloud is not an option when trying to add the following: iPhoto>Preferences>Sharing>Email>Add Account. I thought that it would have automatically converted the information over to iCloud from MobileMe but this did not happen. How do you add iCloud as the email account for sharing photos from iPhoto?

I;m going to bump this because I've been trying to figure it out for a week on these forums...

Do you remember your answers to the account's security questions ? If you do then you can answer them to reset it : http://iforgot.apple.com
If not and if you can't get access to its email account then try contacting Support in your country, after they've confirmed your id and that it's your account they should be able to reset it.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

Since updating Firefox as suggested, when I 'save as' a jpeg, it automatically finds the folder and it's always the wrong folder. How can I disable this feature and go back to the original mode where it remains in the folder I choose until I change it?

For example, I saved a jpeg named 'picasso the guitarist'. I have folders titled A to Z. When I click 'save as' it might open the 'K' folder and I have to manually search the 'P' folder for 'Picasso' and save file. The most irritating thing is, when I 'save as' another jpeg of say 'pieter mother & child' it goes to another folder and does not remain in the 'P' folder, rather it goes to the 'X' folder or some other. This didn't happen before the last upgrade. Can I disable this new 'help' feature that is taking more time than the old version?

Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

Bug 536503 - Last downloaded-to directory should be remembered on a site-by-site basis
Firefox 11 will have a workaround by providing a pref (browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) to disable this feature.

How can I request a return receipt when sending email from Leopard Mail?

Has anyone found a way to request return receipts when sending email with Leopard Mail?

see this [link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7244096&#7244096].
However,
this is only possible if the email client of the e-mail receiver supports this feature and it is turned on. if it doesn't support it or it supports it but the feature is turned off there is absolutely nothing you can do.

How can I disable a PCI or USB device (including the video card)?

Hi
I'd like to save some power and reduce the heat of my fanless barebone (an atom-based arctic mc001, see here;
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B005DL6 … 5DL6V8G%22
It consumes 25W idle, and gets a bit hot.
So I'd like to disable some of the devices I don't use.
For instance:
- the internal wifi dongle (appears in lsusb)
- the internal TNT tuner (appears in lsusb)
- the internal DVD drive
- the internal radeon graphic card
For all of these devices, I do a "echo 1 > unbind" in sysfs, for the correct devices.
After that, all these devices seem 'disconnected' IE they no t not appear anymore in lsusb or lspci (for the radeon)
I also put the USB ports in 'auto' power mode
After that, the devices do not generate any IRQs or wakeups anymore, according to powertop...
But the power consumption does not decrease a lot... less that 1W...
So I wonder if the fact to unbind the devices really disconnects them or not.
Especially for the radeon... shouldn't I underclock it as much as possible instead? If so, how?
Thanks for your help.
Eric

I can't really help you much but to give you a warning. underclocking/undervolting too much can damage a video card without your knowledge, if your going to underclock it make sure you do stabilty tests. Your also gonna need it for any graphics environment you may want if your processor doesn't have one, unless your going command line only. you can try seeing if disabling it with rf-kill does anything. you can also use iwconfig to turn on power saving on your wifi-card, and try adjusting your cpu scaling as well. logically I would'nt worry about the dvd if heat is our concern a dvd drive in standby is proably not going to be throwing off a lot of heat or use very much power.. the big players are probably going to be your cpu, gpu and maybe that wifi card I know when mine is in use it just drains the battery with out power-saving. as for the tuner I have no idea. I hope this post can give you some ideas and maybe move you in the right direction. I can't garentee that all of this is accurate, some of it is logical assumptions. just trying to throw out some ideas to help a fellow arch -linuxer

How can I create a POP3 account on my iPad for Live Mail which doesn't delete mail from server?

Got a new iPad Air with iOS 7.1.1 tried to create a mail account just like the one on my iPhone 5. I selected 'Other' as mail account which allows me to edit the POP3 and SMTP settings. Think it sends mail ok need to check out receiving BUT there is no longer the option under INCOMING MAIL which says 'Delete from Server' which I have on my iPhone set to 'Never'.
Anyone know how or what settings to use for the iPad?
Thanks

Yes, you're correct this is only for existing users so if you don't have a Gmail account then do as shldr2thewheel suggested.
You'll then be able to link up to your Gmail account in your iPad once done.

How can I distinguish between iMessages and SMS messages in the iOS 7's "Messages" app?

I often chat with the same contact using both services, but I just have a duplicate contact thread in the "Messages" app, which I cannot distinguish unless I go into the thread itself and check to see whether the conversation is blue or green. Is there a way to distinguish between the two services? If so, how?
If not... Apple, get on it.

Excuse me great powerful one. I will certainly deal with it and I'll try to survive. Sorry if I have troubled you, great Sir. I am not worthy of your answers.
BTW: If you would have read the Q thoroughly you would not have posted an exact same answer.
"...unless I go into the thread itself and check to see whether the conversation is blue or green. Is there a way to distinguish between the two services?"
And I got your reply saying:
"Yes, by going into the thread itself and check to see whether the conversation is blue or green."
Wow, that was heplful.
