Have you setup/changed to iCloud for eMail yet?
MobileMe no longer exists.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

Illegal host/domain name found

Hi, i hit some error when reply mail to a mail account which is valid:
16-Mar-2006 16:11:26.98 tcp_local R 104 [email protected] rfc822;[email protected] [email protected] Illegal host/domain name found (TCP active open: Failed gethostbyname() on misty.sgx.com.my, resolver errno = 1)
from nslookup:
santomas.com.myServer: ns1.jaring.my
Address: 161.142.201.17
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: santomas.com.my
Address: 202.189.48.236
I'm not an expert on DNS, what cause this error? This domain with the account is valid.
Will "nomx" keyword put in under tcp_local in imta.cnf will solve ?

also:
set type=mx
santomas.com.myServer: ns1.jaring.my
Address: 161.142.201.17
santomas.com.my preference = 20, mail exchanger = meia.sgx.com.my
santomas.com.my preference = 30, mail exchanger = misty.sgx.com.my
santomas.com.my nameserver = ns1.nameserversecure.com
santomas.com.my nameserver = ns2.nameserversecure.com
ns1.nameserversecure.com internet address = 202.189.48.238
ns2.nameserversecure.com internet address = 202.189.48.239
there is not "nomx" keyword under tcp_local or default.....

Illegal host/domain name found - emails bouncing;

After using PhotoStream to post a picture on Facebook, my email asked me to confirm a password, which I've never had to do before. Now I can't send or receive email on the MacBook me.com account b/c an "illegal host/domain" message returns with the email. I don't know if I should be using the iCloud or my previous incoming mail server as the main server. Something changed after the PhotoStream attempt to connect the devices (iPhone and MacBook).
Anyone have any ideas? I read other posts, but didn't see the resolution.

I can now get emails to go OUT from my MacBook, but I can't receive them. Can get them just fine on the iPhone -- confusing!

It's a really bad idea to post email addresses - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove them.

TS4002 Reason: Illegal host/domain name found

Today I suddenly started get this error after using and sending to the same people for months: Reason: Illegal host/domain name found

I just had that. The domain name had expired.
look up the domain name here b) http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx
and here a) http://www.domaintools.com
to see if a) the domain name is current and live
and b) it is set up right.

I am seeing errors like:Status: 5.4.4 (Illegal host/domain name found). Almost all destinations have no A records, only MX records. The user can usually resend the message and it works. Any ideas?

I do have MX in tcp_local in imta.cnf

The problem is not in the mail software, the problem is in your DNS system. 554 is a permenant failure which means that the MTA got an authoritative response from DNS reporting that the host/domain did not exist.
When the user tries again, the MTA queries again, and this time DNS responds with a positive response.
First see the NMS tuning guide and enable nscd, it might be related, not sure, can't hurt, will improve performance.
Your DNS server should be waiting until it gets a positive/negative response from the root servers. Sounds like that is not happening, maybe a timeout kicking in and causing it to return a authoritative answer (which is incorrect) and then on a subsequent query the response made it and thus the lookup works.

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11?

I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

How can I delete an old web page ??

How can I delete an old web page ?? I have created a web page some time ago and now I want to delete it but i do not know how to do it: can anyone help me ?

Delete the web page where it is published.
If it is published to MobileMe, then you need to log into MobileMe and go to your iDisk or mount it on your desktop and then delete it from your Web/sites folder.
If you have published to a server, then you'll need to download Cyberduck, Filezilla or Transmit - all dedicated ftp programmes to connect with your host/server and then delete your old files from the server.
It really is not hard.

I just upgraded to the 5S now I have random music on my phone, some stuff I've never head of, some stuff that is on my computer but I don't have it selected to sync onto my phone. How do I delete these songs? I haven't hooked it up to my computer. iTunes matches has never been turned on and I did turn off the Show all Music option. Some songs have the option to slide from right to left to bring up the delete button but not the ones I want to delete! I want them gone please help! I really don't want/need carni music from my daughters 4th bday party on my phone!! If anyone has a solution that does not involve me plugging into my computer that'd be awesome....

How can I delete uploaded digital videos from iCloud?

I have uploaded many digital videos that I have purchased and they have taken up almost all of my icloud space. How can I delete them to free up space in icloud? There's no more room to back up my devices.

iCloud seems to be a shapeshifter of mobile me. I can't stand it and can't wait to get it out of my systems. Unbelieveable! A company with so much market share, unable to get it right... Is this a joke? Good thing I'm not running that company! Someone needs to wake up and begin delivering 'state of the art' software for their 'state of the art' hardware. WHERE'S THE SUPPORT??
