How do i turn off Mobile Me sync? It paralyzes my machine!

I no longer have my MobileMe account, but the MobileMe sync icon is still at the top right of my screen and periodically tries to identify sync conflicts (it says there are 24) and then totally slows down my machine to a crawl and the spinning wheel spins whenever I hover my mouse over the dialogue screen. Even if I hit review, it goes super slow.  I just want it to go away.  How do I make that happen?  I have an ca. 2008-early 09 iMac with 2.8 Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM... Thanks for any help you can give me!

You're right - it didn't stop it from re-ocurring and the icon actually reappear - I then dumped it onto the desktop again and it is gone again for now... does anyone have insight into how to just remove all memory of MobileMe from my machine?  I don't even know what it's trying to sync with anymore - I stopped using it a couple years ago when Apple phased it out, and the syncing never worked very well anyways.... apparently even Steve Jobs recognized, admitted, and was frustrated by that and that's why it went away and iCloud came in... sigh... I love my Apple products, including my iMac, it just would be great if I could get rid of this...  any additional help from anyone would be much appreciated!

  • How do I turn off, disable, remove Sync from my copy of Firefox.

    I have two computers, one for work and one for home. I have completely ignored the message that comes up at the bottom of the screen on the work computer asking me to set up sync. On that machine, passwords I have saved remain, regardless of how many times I restart Firefox.
    On my home machine, I once got sucked into trying to set up sync and now it forgets every password everytime I restart Fiirefox. I check before I shut down and, yes, there are passwords saved, but once I shut down and restart, it tosses all of them away. I LOATHE THIS FEATURE. How do I get my home machine back to the place where Firefox keeps telling me I haven't set up Sync or better yet, how do I completely and irrevocably remove sync from my system?

  • My wifi is down currently. How can I turn off match and sync the 'old fashioned way'

    Hi guys.
    My home network is down right now and I want to be able to sync 'old school' with the cable but when I plug it in syncing options are not available. I'm guessing I should temporarily disable match on my pc and iPhone? If so how do I go about that?
    Thanks.

  • How do I turn off podcast syncing between my iPhone and iTunes on my MacBook Pro?

    Hi all.
    So yeah... updated my iTunes today (along with the rest of the Mavericks OS X Update Version 10.9.3) and now all the podcasts I subscribe to on my iPhone have shown up in the Podcasts section of iTunes.
    Very nice of you, Apple, but I don't want them on my computer. I don't listen to them on my computer. I listen to them on my iPhone. So I'd love to find out how to turn off this mystery syncing if anyone has any insight.
    Many thanks in advance!
    J

    In iTunes on the desktop open the preferences & look in the 'Store tab'.
    There is a checkbox for sync podcast subscriptions, disable that & see if it helps.
    It isn't clear if this syncing is part of iTunes & iOS syncing (why isnt it under the device section of iTunes?), iCloud or via an app store account.
    It looks like it is a feature of the App store - but I don't recollect ever signing into the store in the podcasts app?!
    If the above helps submit feedback to Apple since this seems less than clear…

  • ITunes U: how do I turn off the 50 MB download limit for mobile data connections?

    Since I rarely have access to Wi-Fi networks I do actually want to download iTunes U content using mobile data. Videos (and even some slide decks) exceed the 50 MB limit that iTunes U will allow you to download over mobile data connections. How do I turn off the 50 MB download limit for mobile data connections?

    You can't unless the phone is jailbroken (which in turn voids your warranty)

  • How do I turn off automatic sync?

    I recently accidently deleted most of my itunes music library. Previously I had itunes set to automatic sync. All my music is on my ipod classic and I want to keep it. I am worried that if I connect my ipod to the PC it will automatically sync and will delete most of the music on my ipod. How do I turn off automatic sync and set it to manual sync? Is there a way of changing the settings without connecting the ipod? Would it be of any help if I had access to another ipod and could I use this to change settings. I would be very grateful for any help.

    To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

    Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.
