How do I unregister a computer now that I have moved from MobileMe to iCloud?

My father has my old G5 computer and I was happy for my Mail to sync to that computer when I was with MobileMe.  However he would now like to use this computer for HIS own e-mails, not mine.  I cannot for the life of me find out how to ensure that my mail does not now go to the old computer!  It's very simple with MobileMe but, obviously, that doesn't now work!  I don't think that iCloud will work on the G5 but want to make sure!  Can anyone help please?  I've spent approx 4 hours so far trying to find out via various forums etc. etc.!!

He may continue to receive mail for a short while but it will eventually stop, his G5 cannot use iCloud.
If you want to be entirely sure delete the mail account from the mail application mail. mail preferences > accounts, select the account on the left and click the small "-" icon in the bottom left corner.

  • HT1414 I have an iphone purchased in the UAE.  Now that I have moved back to the States, how can I get FaceTime installed?

    When I was living in the UAE I purchased an iphone 5.  It does not have FaceTime because of 'cultural' reasons.  Now that I have moved back to the States where we don't have the same 'cultural' issues, I'd like to put Facebook on.  How do I go about it?  Will apple exchange the phone?  Can my phone's serial number be taken off the no Facebook listing?

    There is no way to get Facetime on that phone. No, Apple will not exchange it. You'll need to purchase a new phone in order to have FaceTime. Third pary apps such as Skype should work, though.

    After moving from mobileme to icloud, how do I move my address book?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Your address book should have migrated along with your move. If it hasn't go to groups, in "on my mac" group select all the contacts that appear on the right-hand side and drag them to your "iCloud" group.
    Once you have done this you can then delete the contacts from your "on my mac" group.

  • How can I transfer the e-mails that I have sent from my OUTBOX in a webserver to Thunderbird?

    I have an e-mail account in a webserver (STRATO Communicator), and I want to transfer all my e-mails to Thunderbird.
    I have installed Thunderbird, and I have managed to transfer all the e-mails from my INBOX from the webserver to Thunderbird.
    However, I do not know how I can also transfer all the e-mails that I have sent from my OUTBOX in the webserver (STRATO Communicator) to Thunderbird as well.
    Can anyone help me? Thank you very much in advance!

    Pop mail accounts can only access the Inbox on the server.
    So if you are using a Pop mail account then there is a workaround.
    In Thunderbird
    Move all emails out of Inbox into other suitable folders for organising.
    This makes it easy to detect the 'outbox' emails.
    Logon to webmail account and move all emails from Outbox to Inbox
    then in Thunderbird use Get Messages to download those emails.
    You can then move those emails into a suitable folder like 'Sent'.
    Please note than in Thunderbird, the account Sent folder keeps a record of what was sent by you.
    The 'Outbox' located in Local Folders, is the Outbox for all mail accounts in Thunderbird. It is not a place to store emails.
    In Thunderbird, when you select 'Send', it sends email immediately and puts copy in 'Sent' folder. However, if you use 'Send Later', it puts email in 'Outbox' ready to go when you select 'Send unsent messages', at which point copies are stored in 'Sent' folder and removed from 'Outbox'.

    Update ...
    Just been on the Microsoft Answers forum and there someone has come up with the following fix to get mail working again using Outlook with iCloud ...
    incoming:       p99-imap.mail.me.com
    outgoing:       p99-smtp.mail.me.com
    My Outlook now appears to work, but to be honest i am not sure what these new servers addresses are doing differently ... issue for me is that Microsoft and Apple went through beta testing and this item obviously was not thought important enough to fix  not a good sign ....
    thx

  • I moved from MobileMe to iCloud and all my contacts are lost! The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

    The only contacts I now have are from my Exchange account. Any help please. I tried "Import from SIM" but as all my contacts were on MobileMe, they're all gone!!

    that happens for people who used icloud for everything but contacts. When they updated and went through initial
    set up, signing into cloud enabled everything including cloud for contacts. Since they had zero contacts in cloud, cloud cleaned out their contacts, but synced everything else that icloud has, like calendars, reminders etc. If those contacts were never backed up anywhere - they gone. If there is back up in cloud, it needs to be restored.
    Contacts sync in the cloud need to be turned off, right after restore.

  • Moved from MobileMe to iCloud and now no email contacts

    Help!  Now that I accepted the iCloud, I cannot email from my iPhone 3GS because all my email addresses/contacts are gone!  The only one that shows up is my own!  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!  What the heck is going on?  This is awful and I wish I never agreed to move to iCloud!!!  Does anyone have the answer or are all my email contacts GONE???  Thanks!

    I migrated yesterday from mobile me and everything seemed to be working fine, until this morning.  I am getting the can't connect to server message.  I think this is a server issue that hopefully they will address ASAP.  I'm going to call support if this persists -suggest that you and others do until they resolve the issue... pretty frustrating.

  • HT4597 how do I know whether I have successfully moved from MobileMe to iCloud?

    I followed directions for moving from mobile me to icloud, but can't figure out a way to verify that the move is complete.  Does anyone know how to verify this?
    Thank you.

    Check whether your mail is visible at http://me.com or at http://icloud.com . If the former, you haven't migrated successfully and should go to http://me.com/move and follow the instructions, logging in with your @me.com address (not your iTunes ID if this is different).
    If your mail appears at http://icloud.com you have migrated and need to sign in and enable Mail in System Preferences>iCloud (Lion 10.7.2 required).

  • So, none of my old software works on my computer now that I have installed Mountain Lion. I had no idea it wouldn't work. I'm incredibly disappointed. Any help?

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard. Now none of my Microsoft applications (Word, Excel) work, nor does my old version of Adobe Creative Suite. I'm really disappointed. I'm a poor college student and I can't drop hundreds of dollars on software because of this issue with a 20$ operating system.
    Any ideas on what I should do? Go back to Snow Leopard? I like the Cloud and Find My Mac and the calendar sync, but I don't know if it's worth buying whole new versions of software that I use on a regular basis.
    Thanks!

    Yeah. My Office is from '04. I still have the installation disk for Leopard, as well. I have a really old version of CS. It's probably from around 2004. I guess upgrading my software won't kill me. It'll make me cry a little, but it won't kill me. Is CS3 the oldest one that is compatible with Mountain Lion?
    Is 2008 the oldest version of Office that will work on it?
    Thanks for your speedy response!

  • HT2963 How can I fix permissions problems now that I have changed permission on my HD and have error code -8076, locked disk or ....?

    iMac v10.7.4. Error message says disk is locked. Permissions set for read/write admin (me). Can't open iTunes, Mail, photoshop, adobe bridge [you do not have permission!]. Fonts in Word are unexpected, not cambria. Used Disk utility to repair permissions (ran it twice, once before reinstalling photoshop from DVD; once today). Situation worsening.

    Permissions problems occurred after I downloaded Lion update on 6092012. I believe the  problem originates with  Lion (see the 19 pages of posted problems in the community). I have now talked with Apple Support rep and an Apple Genius. Have reinstalled Lion from the HD Recovery disk. I see some improvement but also at least one  new problem: TimeMachine apparently has lost all backups, don't know how or why. Will have to take machine to a mac specialist or wait for Mountain Lion to arrive. Lion is a bad cat.

  • Do I still need OS 9 on my computer now that I have 10.3.9?

    Do i still need os 9 on my apple if i have os x 10.3.9? Or can i delete it? Will it cause anything to screw up on 10.3.9? I do not run any classic programs??? Help me!!

    You can remove OS 9 if you have no further need for it. There are usually three folders associated with OS 9 located at the root directory of your hard drive:
    1. System Folder (not to be confused with the OS X System folder.)
    2. Applications (Mac OS 9)
    3. Documents
    Open the System Folder and locate the OS 9 Finder and System file. Drag them to the Trash and close the folder. Restart the computer. After startup has completed delete the Trash. Now drag all three folders (System Folder, Applications (Mac OS 9), and Documents) to the Trash and empty the Trash.

  • How do i uninstall firefox 3 now that i have firefox 4?

    I recently installed Mozilla Firefox 4 beta but firefox 3 is still on my computer. How do i uninstall 3 without deleting my bookmarks, which seems to have carried over into 4 quite nicely, and other preferences?

    See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/uninstalling+Firefox
    '''Do not''' select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data", if this option is selected it will delete all of your Firefox user data for all versions of Firefox. If the option is not selected, Firefox user data is left intact.
