Mobile Me System Pref

I was wondering, when you open the mobile me system pref, it asked for your "member name." Does it matter if you add the @mac dot com or @me dot com? Also, should you leave that off?

the informatino is taken in the pane either way. Wasn't sure it it mattered (since there was no example).

    iCloud is only available in Lion, 10.7. You will have to upgrade to Lion in order to get into iCloud. If you transfered a .mac or .me address to iCloud through mobile me, or you have another device iCloud enabled, then you can log into the iCloud.com website.

    I just got a brand new macbook pro (13inch) i took out the HD and replaced it with my other macbook HD. Do you think that could be the cause of the problem or have something to do with it?
    Yes. Run the install discs that came with the new computer. You may need to do an Archive and Install if the system on the discs is older than the one you have installed.

  • System Prefs:specifically MobileMe

    I usually get help from someone almost immediately at any hour but I posted this in the MobileMe Forum yesterday and have received no response, so perhaps it is System Preferences issue; I'm not sure.
    I'm frustrated so I hope I'm in the right Forum this time. I have searched w/in Discussions but so far have not found a similar issue that provides an answer.
    I have a MobileMe Family Pack, so two accounts are set up within MobileMe.com as Master and Member. I have gone into System Prefs/MobileMe and checked Sync: Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Bookmarks and Notes w/in each account.
    In iTunes, I have unchecked Sync: Mail, Calendars, Contacts, and Bookmarks.
    On each iPhone, under Settings, I have set MobileMe Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, Notes, and Find My iPhone as the Default Account.
    I have checked all the same Settings on my iPad, and unchecked Sync all those items for the iPad w/in iTunes.
    Sometimes things sync to one device but not all. When I go back into System Prefs/MobileMe and look at the Sync settings for either account one account may have sync settings still checked, the on the other account, the prefs are no longer checked. When I check them, it's as if that account had never been synced. It can happen to either account. The major part of that problem seems to be that the checked settings within System Prefs/MobileMe do not remain checked. Each time I log out, that account loses the settings but logging out is the only way to get into the other account.
    I have read somewhere on the Forum and thrown out
    ~/home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.prefs.plist and rebooted, but it again reverted to all unchecked sync prefs.
    Is there something I'm missing that will allow each account's Sync Prefs to remain checked? Trying to fix this has become a more time-consuming problem than the old method of just updating various Calendars and Contact lists manually!
    Thanks for any help.

    Concur..Mobile me is not worth the trouble. Have advised others to avoid it for now.
    I have twice gotten everything truly synchronized only to have MobileMe multiply random contacts, mix email addresses, duplicate calendar entries and so forth.
    About July 20 Mobileme was down late at night "for service" and there was a near simultaneous upgrade to iTunes so I thought Apple had finally fixed things..and indeed things worked until today (7/27).
    So I have disabled MobileMe synchronizing....will try it again in a month or two.

  • System Prefs window freezing when clicking on Login Items

    Can anyone help me with this? In System Prefs>Accounts, I click on the button next to "Password" called "Login Items." It turns gray like I clicked on it, but everything in the window freezes and nothing happens. None of the buttons work except "Login Options." I bring up Force Quit, but the application does not show as "not responding," in other words, it appears to be working fine, but even the red, close window button stops working. The only way to get out of it is to hit command-Q to quit System prefs and then reopen it.

    This is annoying, but when you are authenticating with a network ID it adopts settings which restrict access to the login items. If you look in your Accounts control panel, you will see under the name something like Admin, Managed, Mobile/Network (depending on if you made the account mobile). That "managed" word is the problem. If you hold down option when you login you have the option of disabling the management. This will give you full control, but only for that login instance. You can check the save this choice box, but it seems to be useless.
    On another note, has anyone figured out how to get around this without having an admin account on the AD domain?

  • Non admin user - changes not saved (Safari settings, system prefs, etc.)

    iMac, 2 users, one is administrator and other is standard user. Recently, in the non-admin user account, it has become impossible to make any changes. For example, adding an application to the the Dock, after logging out and back in next time, the application is not in the Dock any more. Also, making changes to the prefs in Safari, changes are not saved.
    I noticed this after installing FireFox v4. I installed it as admin whilst in the non-admin users account. However, I don't believe that the installation of FF has anything to do with the problem, it just highlighted it. I've checked the permissions for the various directories that hold prefs info such as user/libraries/application prefs/etc. etc. and also Safari prefs. Nothing I can see that has changed in system prefs.
    Any ideas on what has caused the problem (kids are known to fiddle from within the non-admin account) and any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks

    Hi PPRuNe,
    You could try making the standard user an Admin too. To do this, make sure you are logged in to the standard user, go to System Preferences > Accounts > Standard user (you may have to unlock the padlock) > Allow user to administer this computer
    This will allow changes to be made without being prompted for a password all the time.
    However, if you had Parental Controls on, they probably won't work on an admin account because as an admin you have complete control over a computer, so the computer thinks there is no point in having the controls turned on. And if the kids are known to "fiddle," just think carefully!
    Hope this helps you.
    Chris.

  • How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.

    How can i use my smart TV as a second monitor for my Power mac (2010) via HDMI cable? i've made the connection but no options show in system prefs display.
    the computer:Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.9.5), 2 x 2.66 Ghz 6-Core intel Xeon
    the TV: LG Smart tv

    The Mac uses a highly-parameterized universal Driver for every display. The parameters are set at certain times when a query is sent to your display. The display MUST answer with its name and capabilities, or the screen stays dark. A TV set that is off or "not paying attention" because it is set to a different port when the query occurs will rarely answer, and so will often remain dark.
    You can use tools in the System Report to see whether your display has been detected at all. If it has, the report will look something like this, but its name will appear:
    The times when the query is sent are:
    • at Startup
    • at wake from sleep
    • when the Mac-end of the cable is inserted
    • when using the Option ( Detect Displays ) button in displays preferences

    I have not been able to sync my mail with iCloud on my MacBookPro (Lion OS).  Everything else has been syncing fine for the past two months, but when I go to System Pref/iCloud/and try to check Mail, it asks me to choose an iCloud email address. When I put in my regular @me.com email, it says that address already exists (of course it does - it's mine!) and wants me to choose another one.  But I want it to sync with my stuff.  What can I do?  I haven't been able to find help anywhere online...  Thanks!

    You should have signed in with that address in the first place, but there is a workaround: go to System preferences>Mail, Contacts@ Calendars and add your @me.com address as an account there.

    How do I add my new iPhone4s to iCloud's "Find my iPhone"? I followed the iCloud instructions and turned on Macbook Pros' system prefs to "find my mac", turned on iPhone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. In the "Find my iphone" tab of my new iCloud account (on my Macbook Pro) my iPhone4s still won't show—but my macbook does show. I had my iPhone4s set up at the phone store (2 days ago) and It receives gmail, my contacts and calender entries, the weather, etc. I installed the "Find iPhone" app from iTunes on the iPhone4s, synched to iTunes, even reset the phone, but the only device that gets located is my Macbook Pro. I can send a "sound" message to my Mac (and the Mac recieves it) but unable to see the iPhone4s from my Mac, let alone send any message. Any suggestions to get the iPhone4s device to appear in iCloud?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    OK, I figured it out...I deleted the iCloud account off my iPhone (Settings, iCloud, Delete Account), and then added iCloud back in (Settings, iCloud, SignIn)....and then my email (iCloud) and "Find my phone" features worked! Nice!!!!

  • Built-In Audio Panning L&R malfunctions, system prefs.

    I have noticed on my own Mac, as well as my peers' computers which include iBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, and even a new MacBook pro, that the audio coming from the Built-in audio card will randomly be panned completely to the right, or the left.
    A quick troubleshoot will lead you to find that in the system preferences the panning slider is set to the right or left, an undesirable setting.
    All of the computers I mentioned are running the latest updated versions of Tiger, 10.4.6, and with the exception of my self running Pro Tools, none of the other computers mentioned are running any third party audio interfaces/cards or software that uses audio other than the applications included with Tiger: iTunes, iChat, Quicktime, Safari, etc.
    Unfortunately there is no Lock in the audio system preferences, which could potentially be a quick fix to the problem because if an application like iChat had a bug which caused audio panning, the lock in system prefs. would prevent that..
    I am quite boggled.
    question:
    What might be causing this, and is there a solution?

    Thanks for the response guys. It seems we're in the same boat.
    The problem is intermittent on my machine . It has occurred three times since I bought it. The fist time it lasted for a day and a half. I rang Apple support and went through a number of steps until the P-RAM suggestion which seemed to fix it. A few days later it disappeared again and resetting the P-RAM had no effect. My wife continued to use the computer (without sound) and some hours later it came back after a restart (she only restarted it because she is in the habit of shutting down instead of using sleep). The problem occurred again. That time I restarted the machine a number of times, with and without the external speakers plugged in, with them turned on and off etc. This had no effect. I gave up. Some time later my wife went to use the computer and it came back. I now believe that the P-RAM solution that seemed to fix the problem the first time was just a coincidence.
    I rang Apple support again and they gave me the following steps (A,B & C of which I went through the first time the problem occurred):
    A: Log in through another account and see if it had the same problem.
    - The built-in audio was still missing.
    B: Run the disk utility on the hard drive (after booting from installation DVD).
    - There were nil problems on the HD, but it did not fix the problem.
    C: Reset the P-RAM.
    - This worked the first time though it has not worked on subsequent re-occurrences of the problem.
    D: Do an Archive Reinstall.
    - I did this today; though the built-in audio was working, I just wanted to complete the suggestions the Apple support person gave me. The problem has not reoccurred yet, but it has only been a few hours. I will be using the computer as much as possible tonight to see if the problem reoccurs.
    If the problem reoccurs I'll be taking the machine in for warranty repairs, or better still replacement.

  • Security tab no longer showing in System Prefs.

    Hi
    I have a white Macbook aprox 18 months old. Yesterday I opened system prefs and there was no longer a Security button. I just changed ISP and went in to the firewall the other day, but now it isn't there. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi LilacRose;
    In your profile it says your are running Tiger. If that is correct, you should post over in the Tiger forum instead of the Leopard forum.

  • Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500. HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs. Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Scanning in Mavericks? I can no longer use the scanning function in my HP Officejet 4500.
    HP says to go through Preview, Image Capture, or Print/Scan in System Prefs.
    Still doesn't work. Any ideas/similar experiences?

    Sure it is, yet it's called HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MFP Series *
    Today, I followed your other advice, and deleted the printer, deleted the /Library/Printer/hp folder, downloaded the entire set of driver, re-installed the printer twice, once with the driver, once with Bonjour.
    The Bonjour Printer has the scan option active, but it is doesn't work (refer to above.), it is called M1217nfw
    The Apple Driver Printer doesn't show the scan option at all, it is called M1217nf (as on the http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP list.) This model number doesn't exist, as far as I can tell. 
    Still, everything works perfectly in Snow Leopard, for a MF printer that has been manufactured years after Snow Leopard was released.
    Why going up in software version means going backwards in compatiblity for brand new product is really the question that puzzles me here.
