Hi Steve,
If this is dot mac or Mobile me you can still use IMAP eMail in the iCloud.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
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.

    This says that it is expiring and cannot find any information about this from Apple or Verizon.

    Apple haven't yet signed agreements with yell.com and similar local information services here in the UK or in europe. The rumor is that in the UK and others, will get it sometime towards the beginning of the year.

    I've preordered my iPhone 5 from apple and tried to get a sim from o2, they said I couldn't preorder. Does anyone have any information about this?

    Ethmoid,
    Generally buying on contract or buying outright from apple with a separate sim from a provider is little difference in cost.
    Work out the total cost over 24 months for the phone+monthly tarrif and you will see.
    Also the contracts where the phone is cheapest but have a higher monthly cost tend to be the ones that cost you move over a 24 month period.
    For example;
    Using O2 UK as an example (other carriers are very similar). For the iPhone 5 64GB;
    From Apple £699, plus O2 On & On £20 per month is £1179
    From O2, Phone £249, per month, £41. Total over 24 months is £1,233
    From O2, Phone £169, per month, £46. Total over 24 months is £1,273
    From O2, Phone £69.99, per month, £63. Total over 24 months is £1,581  <Cheapest phone, most expensive
    *These all use the same tarrif of unlimited talk,texts and 1GB data. The only difference is how much you want to pay upfront for the phone*
    Also worth noting is buying the phone from apple and the O2 tarrif is only a 12 month tarrif so you're not locked in for 24 months.
    As you can see, the cheaper the phone, the more the overall amount you pay.

  • AlfUIplugin.plugin cant find any information about this - worried

    alfUIplugin.plugin show errors in my console, I have search the web for this information but come up none
    worry now..anyone know about this and where it may have come from.
    thanks
    LE

    Hi LE and JMo, I was chasing this down myself. It looks like this plugin is used for ALF - Application Level Firewall. ... like the System Preferences/security setting/firewall possibly.
    Not sure if this is the resolution you want, however.. you lads can chase it further if you like and post back.
    If you browse quickview  /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/com.apple.alf.plist you will notice structure and defs in there for many of the usual  FILE SHARING protocols, and some domains and protocols...
    I chased this down to for the purposes resovling  the origin of the system.log message "May 16 09:08:15 rendernode-02.local UserEventAgent[387]: Failed to copy info dictionary for bundle /System/Library/UserEventPlugins/alfUIplugin.plugin" .This message appears on all our Macs
    I'll leave it with you. It looks harmless at this stage. I'll let you know should I pursue it further in earnest
    Let me know if this was of any help.
    Post you results for others to see

  • I cannot find a DJVU reader plugin nor any information about this from the search bar although google search turned up old discussions on this. Why no plugin?

    There is nothing appearing when I search for plugins with DJVU as topic. How can this be? I see that there are separate programs such as Caminova that come with plugins, but I do not want to install a program, only a plugin.

    okay, but i cannot install exe files because i am not admin. So I have to rely on whatever my admin gives me. It seems like a reader as a plugin should be available without doing a software install. IMHO

  • I need to upgrade my operating system but the display won't work. How can I upgrade ?

    My 2014 MacBook Pro when powered up will not actually turn on. The display is VERY faint and in fact just a different shade of shut down. It does however make the usual start up sounds, without any display, when I start it up. When in this mode the caps lock will not illuminate when depressed. Apple support has suggested that a software upgrade may be the problem. How can I upgrade without a screen ?

  • I syced Itunes music and photos to my Ipad. Have replaced PC with new Imac, but cannot sync music and photos from Ipad to Imac(previous sync) Is there a way around this without loosing items on Ipad

    Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing

    With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

    Is this malware?  How can I get rid of it?

    Hello Jeff,
    Thanks very much for your reply.  I looked over the article you mentioned, but I have tried all of these methods, but only get the response "The item “29394D00” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted."  Similarly, I cannot Get Info on the file.  This is why I'm so concerned, it just appeared on my desktop, but I cannot touch it, or open it or delete it...
    If you have any more tricks up your sleeve, I'd love to hear about them...

  • Does anyone out there have any information about running LabVIEW 6i on a Windows 2000 Dell Inspiron 7500 laptop?

    Good news, bad news. I will take any info I can get. I am having trouble getting LabVIEW to see an HP 8703 device. I used to have Win98 and LabVIEW 5.1 running on this machine without a problem until I tried to upgrade to 6i. The machine would not work correctly or recognize devices consistently.
    Thanks for your help!

    The problem you are seeing likely does not have to do with LabVIEW, but more likely with the GPIB drivers. If you did a full install of LabVIEW 6, it probably installed new drivers over the old ones and might have caused some problem. You aught to be able to test the 488.2 drivers and the device communication using MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer) If have trouble communicating with your device in MAX, might want to consider completely uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling.

  • I don't see any information about IE 11 if it is 32 bit or 64 bit in indows 8.1 either not in about IE or somewhere else! in windows 7 it it is there you can see it

    hi,
    I have windows 8.1 and windows 7 both installed on my laptop.
    when I open windows 7 and go to start menu I see both version of IE   32 bit and 64 bit.
    but when I go to windows 8.1 core edition 64 bit ,I don't see IE 64 bit or normal (32bit).  I see only IE and when I go to about IE I don't see  there any information about IE   if it is 64 bit or 32 bit?
    I find it strange because I don't know with which version of IE I am working 32 or 64 bit?  I know my IE is 11 but I don't know if it is 32 or 64 bit?
    h.david

    It's complicated :)
    MS changed a lot of things with the release of Win8.
    By default, 64bit versions of Win8.0/8.1, will never run 32bit IE.

  • BB Store #355 Refuses to Give Out ANY Information About iPhone 4

    Has anybody else run into this issue?  When I pre-ordered 2 phones on the first day, I was told they'd call in advance to set up an appointment with store #344 in Spokane, WA.  The salesman also recommended that I call on Wednesday (today) to double check on availability.  I just called and they told me that they will not release ANY information about the iPhone 4 until launch day tomorrow.  They would not even confirm or deny whether they had received ANY phones yet.  Not sure if this means I need to go over there tomorrow morning and wait in line?

  • Safari keeps shutting down on my iPad very often. Does anybody have information about this problem? Thanks

    Safari as well as other apps like USA Today and BBC, shut down very often in my iPad. I have experienced this problem before, but now it happens all the time. I can hardly have a full web surfing session without this annoying interruption.
    When I restart the app I usually get to the page I was reading so I don't understand what's going on.
    Does anybody have information about this issue? Any suggestions or solutions?
    Thanks

    Rick --
    Safari has never needed Rosetta to run.
    It fact, it makes it run agonizingly slow --
    or could cause it to crash. That's probably your problem.
    I you really need Rosetta to work with this app, your Math program is using really old technology,
    and was built to run on OS9, or even OS8.
    Example: Many of us used to use PageMaker for designing brochures.
    When Macs went to 10.2.8 or so, PageMaker couldn't run, so Apple included
    a faux environment on newer Macs, where old apps & games would run.
    That was about 5 or more years ago. The need for Rosetta is very very rare,
    as most all apps used today would be newer than 5 years old.
    Like Mulder said, a crash report might help identify the exact culprit.
    EDIT: Have you tried turning Rosetta off???? Just to test it??

  • Clicking on "View more information about this update" for 31.5.0 does nothing

    I got a pop-up today that Thunderbird 31.5.0 is available. I clicked on "View more information about this update" because that usually takes me to the release notes and I prefer to read about updates and download and install them myself, rather than have the system do it for me. (I do this so I can save previous versions in case I run into a problem with the latest and want to go back.) But when I clicked on "View more information about this update" nothing happened. It didn't switch over to the browser nor start loading the release notes.

    About 5-10 minutes after I had clicked on "View more information about this update" a few times (and had manually gone to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/31.5.0/releasenotes/ and downloaded and was in the process of installing the new release), my browser opened up three tabs on that page. I guess it was just a very delayed response.
