IOS 5 showing duplicate Mobile Me accounts

I installed iOS 5 today and switched over to iCloud. But now the iPhone Mail app is showing a duplicate copy of my Mobile Me email account.
If I delete the account and re-add it, will I lose my contacts and all my iCloud stuff?

Okay, I solved this issue as far as my iPod is concerned.
I decided to re-rip one of the album sets having the issue (I wanted it as lossless on my PC anyway, so it was due).  Once it was ripped, I noticed that one of the tracks on the albums in the set was separated in iTunes, even though I'd made sure that the artist and album name were set using Get Info on all the tracks simultaniously.  Apparently, each of the tracks on the album was marked as part of a compellation (even though only 1 of the 8 tracks had its own entry in the cover carousel).  After unchecking that, it was back to one album in the carousel.  Synced to the iPod and no duplicate album anymore.
I checked the other album having the issue and 3 of the tracks had the compellation checkmark checked.  That album did *not* have separate entries in the carousel.  After deleting those checkmarks, deleting the album from the iPod and re-syncing, it now shows up properly.
So, in my case, it seemed that errant compilation entries was the issue, which is odd anyway, because I didn't check that at all.  It must have come from the album ID when they were ripped for some reason.

  • Iphone 4s showing duplicate email account @me and cloud

    I just purchased a new Macbook Air and was setting up the cloud services on my phone and on my new MB Air.  I've had the phone for a while, and had set up the email account on the phone as my mobile me account.  When I set up the cloud service on my MB Air and on my Iphone 4s, I was asked to merge the account from the mobile me to the icloud service.  I followed all the instructions and everything worked like a charm - contacts updated to my devices, photos etc.  However I just noticed a problem on my iPhone, which now when I look at my email icon, it says 66 emails, when I open it up, it showing 2 accounts, both say iCloud, however one is the actual iCloud icon and the other has the mobile me cloud icon.   When I went into my settings on my iphone, I figured I'd just go and delete the mobile me email account, however it says (iCloud - account says my mobile me email address). 
    I'm not sure i want to delete the account, because if I uncheck the Mail (turn it off), all of my emails go away.  When I turn it on, it shows duplicate email accounts.
    I must be doing something wrong, but have been racking my brain for the last hour or so and I just can't seem to figure it out.
    Any help???

    I actually worked it out - I deleted it and started it back up again - not sure why it did it in the first place, but I did find others who had the problem and explained how to fix it:

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • Mobile me account getting duplicate emails

    i've set up mobile me accounts in mail and getting duplicates, triplicates and more of emails from mobile me... how do i fix this? checked if the email address is duplicated from the sender, but it is not.
    any resolve is greatly appreciated- thanks!

    I am a long time user. I have noticed it happening to me in the past day. I have made no changes to my account, so I think it is a glitch at MobileMe.

  • Contacts.app shows duplicate iCloud accounts

    I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and my Contacts app shows 4 duplicate iCloud contact sets.  When I check the preferences > accounts setting within the app, it shows 4 entries for iCloud, each for the same iCloud account.  When I try to remove any of them, it suggests I go over to Internet Accounts in System Preferences.  Within System Preferences there was only 1 iCloud account, not 4.  I removed that account from my computer yet the duplicates remain.  I can't get rid of them.  Please help!

    I found a way to resolve this.
    1) Remove iCloud from your System Preferences (make sure all your iCloud content is backed up somewhere else first (via Time Machine or on another Mac)
    2) Shutdown
    3) Boot up
    4) Open up contacts app
    5) Open Preferences of Contacts and go to "Accounts"
    6) Select the rogue iCloud account and click the button in the bottom right "Edit account", this will open up system preferences and the rogue iCloud account will reappear there.  Hit the Minus button in the left sidebar to remove it.
    7) Quit System Preferences & quit Contacts app
    8) Shutdown & Boot up again
    9) Repeat steps 4-8 until all of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts are removed from the Contacts app.
    10) Once completely free of the duplicate/rogue iCloud accounts in Contacts app, re-enable iCloud in System Preferences.
    I did this to remove 4 duplicates and now have one clean iCloud account in the Contacts app.

  • I had two email accounts on mobile me.  Only on of the accounts now shows as an iCloud account. What do I need to do?

    I had two email accounts on mobile me.  Only one of the accounts now shows as an iCloud account. What do I need to do?

    What do you mean by 'I had two email accounts on mobile me'?
    Did you have two separate individual MobileMe accounts? Each needs to be migrated separately; one can be signed into in System Preferences>iCloud and the other in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars.
    Did you have a Family Pack with subaccount(s), or 'email only' accounts attached to a main account? Again, each sub-account/email-only account needs to be migrated separately, will become a full separate iCloud account and they can be signed into as above.
    Did you have email aliases? These should be transferred along with the account. They are not separate accounts, and do not appear as such in Mail; messages to them appear in the iCloud inbox alongside messages to the main address.

  • IPad calendar showing duplicates half the time

    My iPad iCal shows duplicates of about half my calendar entries.  My calendars are Google calendar delegates, and I've never had any trouble with them syncing across my Macbook, Google account, or Android phone.  I do not use Mobile Me, and I have calendar syncing turned off in iTunes, so they should be syncing wirelessly through the google delegate. 
    So why does my iPad show duplicates half the time when my Macbook/phone/google don't?  Why are there duplicates only half the time?  How can I fix this without manually deleting and re-entering every event that shows up in duplicate?  (I can't just delete one of the duplicates - deleting one erases both.  If I re-enter it on my Macbook, it shows up as just one event, but it's a lot of work to do all of that manually).

    Settings > Date & Time > 24-hour time -Off.
    Also you might want to check time zone settings, and go into International and check the Region Format. Then do a reset of the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. That will restart the phone. This should correct it.

  • IOS 8: T-Mobile WiFi Calling on 5s issues

    Is anyone out there having problems with WiFi calling w/ their iPhone on T-Mobile?
    I updated my Wife's 5s to iOS 8, and enabled the feature in settings because we suffer from terrible calling performance on T-Mobile (1 maybe 2 bars of signal) in our home. She still drops calls regularly. I dropped a call three times while speaking with T-Mo support about it last night.
    They told me that they had to provision the feature on the account, which they did a couple of days ago, but even after doing so, it still doesn't seem to be working. How can I tell if the iPhone is using WiFi on a call? Is there an option to force it to use WiFi for calls?
    I have an (older, rectangle 2nd gen) Time Capsule in bridge mode that serves WiFi to the house, but I don't think it is the issue because other wireless devices work just fine and I have no other WiFi issues. Also, the other phones on our T-Mobile account are all Android phones that support WiFi calling and they all seem to be working flawlessly with WiFi calling and indicate when the phone is placing the call over WiFi.
    So, aside from using a different WiFi base station (such as T-Mobile's new WiFi router - which I won't do unless it supports bridge mode because I have a much more robust Cisco firewall doing the routing) I can only conclude this is an Apple/T-Mobile issue with their implementation of WiFi calling.
    Just wondered what other iOS 8 & T-Mobile users were seeing with WiFi calling.
    Thanks in advance, any helpful info would be appreciated.

    @chattphotos: I didn't try pingtest, but with all due respect, I don't see the point. A connection with a 10ms ping and 100 down and 4 up should PLENTY!
    @Hofstrajet: My wife's phone shows the same as the screenshot you posted. It definitely says T-Mobile Wifi
    @Prelude_007 When you say you can connect at home, does that mean you can somehow make WiFi calls there? How do you know the call is actually going over WiFi from home and not Cellular? What is your cell signal like at home? At your work, it might not work because they probably are more restrictive with what kinds of traffic they will allow. It could be that your IT staff have firewall rules preventing anything but web and email traffic to pass. I am sure this VoIP protocol uses some different ports, but I haven't seen the details on how it was implemented yet.
    My thoughts at this moment is that either there is an issue in iOS that may or may not be limited to the 5s, or that T-Mobile still needs to do something on their end.
    The only thing I have left to try on my end is a different WiFi access point. but given that my Samsung Note 3, my son's Note 3, and another Galaxy S5 all have NO PROBLEMS making/taking WiFi calls, it has to be an Apple <-> T-Mobile issue.

  • How many websites can you have under one mobile me account?

    I already have a mobile me account with one website that is currently published. I was wanting to make another website under the same account. Is this possible to make two websites on the same account?
    Thanks

    Just make sure that you give them all a different name in iWeb when you create them or they will cancel each other out when you publish them.
    You cannot give sites the same name in the first place.
    If you do, iWeb will revert to the one it had before if you rename a site.
    Found out when I gave sites the same name but published them to different servers.
    The sitename has to be unique in the domainfile.
    Solution is/was to duplicate the domainfiles and edit each separately.

  • I know have a mobile me account and so my apple id is switched from my email address.  i am trying to update my apps but it won't let me as it won't recognize my new 'ID'. how can i fix this on my iphone?

    I have mobile me account now and so my apple id is switched from my email address to my mobile me address.  Since I have made this change I can't update my apps. Everytime I try to sign in it won't recognize the switch. I have updated all the proper information on my iphone, however, when updating apps it still shows my apple id as my email address and not the mobile me account address. I am not sure what else to do???  I have even sync'd my iphone and tried to do it through my pc, however, it says that it can't update (nothing to update). I have ten updates sitting on my iphone apps...What to do...what to do?  Very confused.

    Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
    Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
    If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

    How do I show my iCloud purchases in iTunes, but prevent it from showing duplicates of the songs I already have on my computer?  There are duplicates of essentially everything!
    I would like to show my available songs that I could download if I want, however the ones I've already downloaded to my computer are showing up still, which results in duplicates of everything (one on my computer, one in the cloud)

    No.
    Are the photos in an iTunes backup? If so then:
    - You can restore another iPod touch, iPhne or iPad from that backup
    - Extract the photos from that backup by

  • Can i use ichat between two separate macs on the same mobile me account?

    Can i use ichat over two separate macs on the same mobile me account?
    I have an imac at home and may be getting a macbook for work. Can i use my mobile me account to chat between the two macs or would i need a mobile me account per mac??

    Hi,
    No.
    You need two names that can login into AIM.
    In iChat you can use the Get an iChat Account which shows after you use the Plus Button in Accounts.
    This will give you a free @mac.com Name
    AIM Names are also free.

  • IPod is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes.

    iPod touch is showing duplicates of songs, but songs are not duplicated in iTunes... any ideas how to fix? Tried resyncing, didn't work.

    I'm fishing slightly but you may have casing inconsistenices in artist or album names that cause the iOS firmware to see more than one instance of the album but with each getting all the tracks. Merging stuff in iTunes via sort fields may also have unintended consequenses on the device. Could you post back a screenshot or decribe the symptoms more fully, ie. exactly which menu screen you are in on the iPod, what is repeated etc. The songs menu for example can correctly list more than one copy of a song if it appears on different albums.

  • Login.keychain and mobile user accounts

    After removing a corrupt login.keychain file in a mobile user account, the user could no longer log in to their account when off site. What account login information is kept in the keychain file of a mobile account?

    I don't have problems syncing other files that are also system packages, like iPhoto ones... although I have a terrible suspicion that again the sync agent only sees a single file, not a bundle.
    I assume that the OS doesn't have any problem with packages since they are used pretty much elsewhere and they are basically a folder with a specific file inside that "forces" the OS to show us as a single file, instead of letting us see directly the content.
    Even the new disk image format that Apple recommends to be used in order to speed up Time Machine backups (.sparcebundle) is based in package (or bundles, whatever you prefer to call them)
    The main issue here might be the folder structure inside.
    If you do a "show package content" and, for instance, check the thumbnails folder, I can easily see some chars that might create some confusion if not properly escaped during the sync, like on this example:
    My Aperture.aplibrary/Thumbnails/%pARYo%fT52I77jmdf8mqQ/AP.Thumbnails
    (Those "%" are so prone to errors if not properly handled)
    Time Machine doesn't have any problem with both packages and those chars, so I truly hope that they use TM tech and improve the way that the syncing agent work.
    Anyways, Aperture seemed a nice app.
    I'm really sad that I can't use it because of this... specially when I'm considering getting a new digital camera.
    I understand that it was recently released so let's hope that Apple can figure out what's happening and release an update (to either Aperture or Mac OS X Server) in the next few months.
    Take care.
