MobileMe account

For some strange reason, iCal refuses to believe that I've set up a MobileMe account....
I'm using iCal v3.0.7, running on 10.5.7, on a G4/PB. When I try to refresh, publish or unpublish a calendar, I get an error telling me my MobileMe account configuration is not correct. When I go to iCal->Preferences, the "Synchronize my calendars with other computers using MobileMe" check box is unchecked, telling me "You have not set up your MobileMe account".
I've tried resetting my sync data, sync history, keychain, deleting iCal preferences and ~/Application Support/iCal, etc. I've also created a new User account, but the same situation persists. Seems this is something to do with iCal..... but what?
There is an archived (unresolved) thread describing something similar, but despite trawling numerous Mac forums and googling, I've not found any solution.
Any clues, anyone??

I should add the obvious bit of missing information - of course my MobileMe account IS set up, signed in, and syncing correctly

  • Cannot send email from MobileMe account

    Apple recently pushed out an update to the MobileMe calendar. Since upgrading my account, I am unable to send emails from Firefox4 (current version) in Windows. The page sits indefinitely at a loading screen. Apple Support won't help because it isn't an issue with Safari. Anyone else have this issue?

    When using the MobileMe account preset to create the account, the SMTP server is created with 587 as the SMTP server port, which can't be changed when using the MM account preset to create the account.

  • Cannot send email on my iPhone from my MobileMe account...help?

    Every time I try to send a message in my MobileMe account on my iPhone 3G, this message pops up - "Cannot Send Mail - The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.me.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars." I've checked the smtp to make sure it's correct, and I changed the Server Port to 587 as suggested by Apple. Is it something to do with the IMAP Path Prefix? This has been happening since I purchased my iPhone in February while it was running OS 2.0, and I have since upgraded to 3.0 and 3.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Failure sending email from MobileMe account on iPhone

    I cannot send emails from my mobileme account on my iPhone, the following error appears: connection to the outgoing mail server 'smtp.me.com' failed.
    I have my gmail account set up and this works fine, any ideas?
    Thanks

    One thing that might help out.
    Try a reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time until you see an apple logo.
    If the reset does not work, one more thing to try.
    Remove the account from the iphone by going to settings > mail, contacts calendars > your MobileMe account.
    Scroll to the bottom and tap the delete account button.
    Reset the iphone by using the 2 buttons again.
    Now set the MobileMe account back up on the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to make multiple MobileMe accounts work in iCloud?

    I have 2 MobileMe accounts.  One is an old @mac.com that I use strictly for e-mail.  The other is my current @me.com (with an alias @me.com address) that I use for everything including iTunes store account.  I've already moved my @me.com account to the cloud.  Here are my questions:
    Do I move the @mac.com to the cloud on my iMac?  Will it override any calendars, contacts, etc.?  I want to add it to my iOS devices as well (iPhone and iPad at least).  I see under accounts on my iPhone I can add an iCloud account, but can I add it without compromising all the data from my @me account?
    Do I have to do anything to the alias account to move it?  Will it go away if I do nothing once MobileMe goes away?
    Thanks for any help.

  • I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc but can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account"

    I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc (64bit) but I can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account". I can login on website icloud.com but can not login into iCloud application installed on pc. What's wrong?
    I have tried another free apple ID and logged on. That's funny when I can login with free account and can not login with paid mobileme account!!!!!!

    By the way - the only reason I downloaded iCloud is because Apple deleted the backup option from iTunes.  Since iCloud doesn't work, I guess we have no way to protect our iTunes music collection.  Absolutely stupid.

  • Have MobileMe account, have 2008 iMac, have rosetta apps, have snow leopard, don't want Lion, have to have iCloud after June?

    Hello All,
    I have a MBP running Lion and its fine. I have an iPhone 4, iPad, and a family pack MobileMe account. I have a 2008 iMac that has Final Cut Pro and several other rosetta apps. The iMac is running snow leopard and I don't have any issues to complain about. Since I will be forced to move to iCloud in June if I choose to keep my account I am trying to figure out how to procede with my iMac. I find it annoying that Apple is in a sense forcing MobileMe subscribers to purchase an OS update (Lion $69.00) or at worst a newer computer (Lion will not run on pre-core 2 duo) if we want to "sync" our devices and continue to pay for mobileme services. On top of that, by forcing people to update to Lion to get iCloud, they are forcing people to lose support for any rosetta applications that they have an investment in.
    I know about the rosetta install on Lion trick - (installing rosetta on a Lion machine from a snow leopard disc). I was lucky to have a snow leopard disc, so I could install rosetta on my MBP to have support for Final Cut Pro 6.
    So, is there any hope of sync services with snow leopard on my iMac while moving my family MobileMe account to iCloud? So far, there seems to be alot of problems with iCloud syncing from what I have read. So in order to keep everything in sync (contacts, iCal, mail, etc.) with iCloud on all my devices (iPhone, MBP, iMac) I will have to buy a Lion install drive for the iMac and re-install rosetta and re-install all those applications as well....
    Any thoughts ? 

    Consider running your Adobe and AppleWorks software in Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed in Parallels in Lion or Mt. Lion:

  • I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    I had a MobileMe account before... after upgrading to iOS 5, should I keep my account info under iCloud (settings) AND under mail, contacts and calendars (in Settings as well) or only keep the info under the new iCloud setting section?

    That's not the correct port. It should be 993 for incoming.
    If you signed into iCloud from the System Preferences, it should automatically create the iCloud account for you in Mail. Sounds like it is an account you already had set up for MMe in Mail.
    Open Mail preferences, open the Accounts tab, disable that account in the advanced pane.
    Open Sys Prefs, open the iCloud tab, and sign out of iCloud. Then sign back in and see if a new iCloud account is automatically created.

  • How can I disable my MobileMe account as sender in the iOS Mail app?

    Ever since I logged on to iCloud in OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.0, 10.8.1), I've noticed that in Gmail (using the Mail app for iOS), on my iPhone running iOS 5.1.1, the sender appears to be my MobileMe account (an account I had to use a while back when I first got started using iCloud, but haven't actually used).
    Besides flooding my iCloud account mail information with sent mail and the fact that I don't want people associating my email address with the wrong address, it's very annoying that when I choose my regular Gmail address as the sender mail, the next time I send an email, the MobileMe address is the default address yet again.
    The problem persists even though I have:
    Disabled the iCloud email account (@me.com) in the Mail app in OS X Mountain Lion (the OS in which, by all accounts—no pun intended—it all started).
    Disabled iCloud to use and sync Mail.
    This is the settings for Gmail in Mountain Lion, in which disabling Mail and the MobileMe account for use, should be the only email address associated with my iCloud account (excepts it obviously isn't as MobileMe is tied to my AppleID for whatever purpose Apple saw fit back in the day):
    I saw a thread here discussing the posibility of deleting the iCloud account on the iPhone, powering it off and then, when powered back on, simply signing in again with iCloud. I'm nor sure this is a "solution" as much as a way around something I cannot understand is happening in spite of the changed I have made already.
    Surely, someone must be able to tell me what I can do to simply not have my @me.com email address set to the default From address in Mail in iOS. Other than that, I have no real problem with the @me email address being used, at all.
    It's just so annyoing when trying to send a quick reply to a colleague or something.
    Please discuss below.

    I feel funny replying to myself; I cannot remove this discussion and at any rate, I guess if someone else has this problem, they'll be pleased it has not been deleted.
    So, I managed to fix this all on my own. Obviously the difficulty-level is about as low as it gets:
    After updating to iOS 6 last night, I was playing around in the settings of my phone, when I came across this, the iCloud for Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calandars > Accounts > iCloud:
    All I had to do was to turn Mail off. This leaves the Cc/Bcc, From field empty in my phone's Mail app--just the way I wanted it!

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • How do I push contacts back to my Macbook Pro without a MobileMe Account

    Hello -
    I accidentally deleted my contacts from my MacBook Pro (have no idea how I did that) and my most recent back up file is about 1 month old (my fault) but I really need to get the lastest version back onto my computer. I have an updated, clean set of contacts on my iPad2 and my iPhone 4. I can't figure out how to synch back to my Mac - push this set of contacts back to my computer. I read a related support post, but the problem is I never had a MobileMe Account - The provided solution required one. Now, I can't sign up for a MobileMe account even if I wanted to because of iCloud.
    So, my question to you out there is how can I synch my contacts back from either my iPad2 or iPhone4 to my MacBook Pro but without a mobilMe account?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Two mobileme accounts on one ipod

    Hi all, what I'm going to ask got an airing here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2620155&tstart=0 but that was iPad, not iPod. I want to use 2 mobileme accounts on the same iPod. One's mine, the other is my spouse's, which is a - don't know what you'd call it, sub-account??, i.e. there's only one mobileme membership. This all works fine on our Mac computers Mail client. When we can't get to that, we can still access our mails via the mobileme website, but using the same password. Password's not an issue. Not sure how the ipod mail client will behave or how to set up 2 accounts. Any advice? TIA, Terry.

    Well, there is a differene between cabled syncing (over iTunes in regular data syncing) and OTA syncing (latter one used by MobileMe to use Push Sync).
    Mail does not copy actual mails to the device and back, that is done via the mail server (if supported, what is done by MobileMe with IMAP).
    What I don't know is stuff like MobileMe calendars and contacts and so on.
    Maybe it keeps the data separate while syncing (so your cals are synced to your account and the 2nd cal to the 2nd account); but maybe they're shared.
    It's all based on the fact that the iPod is a single-user device and not meant to support multiple users... quite ironic considering that iOS technically supports multiple users as a UNIX system

  • Two iPhones on same MobileMe account but one keeps turning a calendar on.

    Hello. I have two iPhones that I have connected to one MobileMe account. We do that so certain calendars, notes, etc will sync. I have a certain set of calendars turned on on one of them and a different set on the other. I made a new calendar for bills and one for other reminders that we both don't need. Turned them on on one and off on the other. On the one which they are turned off, one of them keeps turning back on after it is switched off. I have not been able to determine how long it takes but it eventually does turn on because the next time the reminders are supposed to come up it is definitely on there. Any idea why this might be?

    But could I at least use the Find My Iphone app on the second Iphone if I just leave all the other Icloud options off?  If I activate Find My Iphone on the second phone, will it just show two Iphones in the menu when I search for the Iphone on my Mac, or do I need to set up a second Icloud account for the second phone?
    That will work just fine.

  • HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing.  Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
    There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
    More things you can do:
    With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
    I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not.  You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing.  As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos.  I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special.  Any way - search around to find answers.
