MobileMe error message
Hi, I have a MAC OS X and as far as I know we don't use MobileMe but for the last few days a message keeps popping up that says "You entered an invalid MobileMe member name or password". How can I stop this message from appearing? thanks very much....
I assume you are running 10.6.8? - please always state your system when posting.
If you have any form of syncing set up you are likely to be plagued with errors as your Mac cannot connect with MobileMe. You should start by going to System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync and turning off all syncing: going to the iDisk pane and turning off iDisk Syncing if it's on; then going to the Account pane and signing out.
If this does not stop errors popping up, go to (User)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMacSync, and also any beginning com.apple.idisk, then reboot.

New and Persistent MobileMe Error Message
A new and persistent MobileMe Error Message keeps hounding me. No troubles since the demise of MobileMe until lately. Please see the attached photo.
So far, I've deleted all references to MobileMe within my Keychain, re-checked my information in Apple Mail my "Mac.com/Me.com" account, gone to System Preferences to make sure the old MobileMe options (member name and password) are blank ... I'm OS-maxed-out at Snow Leopard, and deleted all plist files with references to MobileMe.
Any ideas for me? Thanks so very much.Yes, those are no longer vaild, no idea why it's just happening now!?
Being IMAP, you should be able to delete that account, but for safety I'd backup at least your Mail.
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...

How do I stop MobileMe error message without a Preference Panel?
This MacBook running 10.6.8 has no MobileMe preference panel and no "ByHost" folder, so I can't follow the instructions found elsewhere here to stop the error message "You entered an invalid MobileMe member name or password. Verify your MobileMe member name and password in MobileMe System Preferences."
The error message keeps popping up and I can't figure out what program is producing it. I have removed the MobileMe account from iMail. I've checked iCal and Address Book, and they don't have MobileMe syncing turned on.Removing the MobileMe account from Mail (not iMail) won't remove the account's setting for Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP). Look at the list in your remaining Mail accounts and delete the one for MobileMe. Otherwise, everytime you open Mail, that server connection will attempt to connect.

MobileMe error message since updrage from Leopard
I have suddenly started getting an error message pop up sporadically that says "You entered an invalid MobileMe member name or password. Verify your MM member name and password in MM System Preferences". I don't have a MM account and there is nothing filled in in the MM System Preferences. This did not happen before my upgrade to Snow Leopard. Anyone else having this problem or have a solution? Thanks!
Try the MobileMe forum.

I downloaded an update to my iTunes app on my work Windows computer and now I am constantly getting error messages about MobileMe, when I download a webpage and marked slowness of my Outlook application. I tried removing iTunes and reloading directly from the Apple site, but no change. One of my peers is having the same issue and messages.
Any suggestions?See note 2 in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for starters...

Error messages after new MobileMe Calendar upgrade. Solved?
Quick rundown of what I've been through and how I have solved my problem.
I have a MacBook running 10.5.6 and I also have Bento 3. Recently Bento (Filemaker) told me that I would have to complete a few steps before upgrading to the new MobileMe calendar. So I followed the steps exactly. (URL: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7846/~/setting-up-bento-for-th e-new-mobileme-calendar)
After completing the steps. I proceeded to upgrade to the new calendar. Upgraded in less than a minute and then after opening up iCal on my mac & importing my calendars, thats when things started to go wrong. I kept getting error messages on almost every even I have ever created. I could barely even quit iCal due to all the error messages. Also, many of my events werent there after importing and the progress wheel kept spinning. Complete DISASTER! (*Luckily, I made plenty of backups before doing any of this so I was safe*) But Still I had NO iCal!
I searched and searched and could not find a complete solution. So what I did was the following and so far I believe it could be the solution to all of you guys's problems.
I followed these instructions on this website (URL: http://answers.makeitwork.com/how-to-reset-ical-on-your-mac-or-how-to-clean-up-y our-ical/) **I followed these exactly**
They are below:
+Export any Calendars you wish to retain after you reset by clicking on the Calendar you wish to retain and go to File > Export… > Export…+
+Repeat the above process for every Calendar you wish to keep. (Make sure you remember where you saved them)+
+Quit out of iCal+
+Go to Finder and click on your Home icon to display the Library folder.+
+Open that folder+
+Open the Calendars folder in the subsequent window+
+Delete all the contents within that folder+
+NOTE: If you open iCal at this point, it will initially appear that you cleared everything. Within minutes, however, everything will come back.+
+Go to your Utilities folder and open the Terminal application+
+Enter the following command: rm -rf ~/Library/{Caches,Caches/Metadata,Preferences,Application\ Support}/iCal+
+Exit out of Terminal+
+Open iCal and…Voila! Brand new iCal!+
But that did not completely work. So before doing this again, I went to my iPhone and quit syncing calendars on my mobile me account. And chose to ERASE every calendar on my iPhone.
After doing that and repeating the process above, I opened up iCal and boom, it worked. Then after I had the calendars setup the way I wanted on my MacBook, I proceeded to go to Preferences>MobileMe>Sync> and then chose to sync
I then went to Me.com and checked to see if the calendar was operable and it was 100%. I could do everything like before. Then I went back to my iPhone and just turned Calendar syncing back on in my mobileme preferences.
This has solved all my problems 100%. Hope this helps someone. Just remember that as long as you created a backup of your Calendar you should be safe.
-Cody-Well... seems I didn't have any answer on this. I fiddled a bit more but I have to say that I really came to wits' end at this stage. A couple of observations though:
* I don't really understand this notion of a keyboard issue. My keyboard and its layout work properly but I will not be able to login regardless of login through GDM, KDM or Slim. Yet it's worth noting that in the case of GDM and SLIM the X server starts; I see the graphical interface, I click, etc. but when I type the trouble starts.
* I tried to check my xsessions-errors file. The file is really big under a frame buffer, and it wasn't clear to me, but I found strange that the log was reporting all sorts of attempts to start KDE. I don't exactly know what's going on.
If anybody has any clue, let me know... It's becoming very frustrating.
Thanks! -
Error message when I try to publish an iWeb photo album with audio to Mobileme:
I get the following error message when trying to publish a photo album with audio from iWeb to Mobileme. I've checked my account and I have plenty of available space on Mobileme and have logged in there.
An error occurred while publishing file “/private/var/folders/qg/qg-Qwo-82RWdDU+8ZNhusU+++TI/TemporaryItems/com.apple.i Web_9121_TEMP_344183369_3/sites/Site/Grand_Canyon_11_Slideshow_part_1_2_files/or iginal_2.jpg”. Try publishing again later.
Is there a problem with my photos or other content (I've added some songs to play in the slideshow)
Dan H.First see if you can publish your site to a folder on your hard drive. You can select the folder by clicking on the site's folder in iWeb and using the Publish To: menu.
If that's successful try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.

Just signed up for MobileMe. Had a little difficulty setting up iCal but eventually got everything working. Whether posting to iCal on my Mac Book or iPhone, sync seemed to be working fine for about a day. Then suddenly when I opened iCal on my Mac Book, I would receive the following iCal error message:
"The calendar https://cal.me.com/calendar/calendar/principals/users/1.1117025442/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct." I know where it is located but because I did not enter the URL when I set up MobileMe/iCal, I don't know what the correct URL should be.Mike,

I recently started to get an error message "MobileMe Services have stopped working". I use Vista. If I remove the MobileMe program, will it affect syncing with my iPhone or with Google Calendar?
No, just uninstall the MobileMe control panel. All Mobileme services have been discontinued, so the control panel is not doing you any good being in there at present.

since moving to iCloud, my mobileme email works ONLY on my iPhone, but not on my PC with Outlook. I get an error message indicating the authentication is not accepted.
To anyone who has viewed this post and is having similar difficulties, the answer came on a different forum: I dragged & dropped the files from Mail to iCloud Drive. Opened them on my MB Air, they were saved in Templates and are now accessible across all my devices.

I am trying to sync my new MacBook Air iCal with my iMac calendar. It will synce with MobileMe calendar on the iMac, but I can't get rid of iCal on the iMac and this one keeps coming up with an error message.
About the only thing you can try is using the Online Internet Recovery system to reinstall Lion on your Mac over the top of the current install. that will reset all system files and should not touch your personal files or the apps you have installed.
Or iof you have a recent Time Machine backup use that to restore your Mac to that point in time. -

my itunes won't install the new itunes. I keep getting error messages that seem to be linked to MobileMe service which I don't even know what it is.
Read this:
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows - Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue -
TS4291 Apple Support article TS4291 "Error messages appear when you access MobileMe"
I occationally, seemingly randomly, get the error message, "There was a problem connecting to the server "idisk.mac.com". Contact your system administrator for more information." Plus it allways takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 clicks to close the error message dialog box.
The solution given is, "Your iDisk is unavailable. Make sure you are logged in to your MobileMe account, and then try again to access your iDisk.
But idisk and mobleme no longer exist having been replaced by iCloud. I am logged into ioCloud.
The article was updated Aug. 30, 2012. MobleMe was shute doun June 30, 2012
Any thoughts appreciated. --sbSomething on your Mac is still trying to access a Mobile Me service, find it and then you can fix it.
Examples include: Apple Backup 3, iPhoto, iCal, Address Book, but there may be others. -
ICal error message "HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden" but still syncing via mobileme.
here is the screenshot ......http://gallery.me.com/joyseeker/100217/Screen-20shot-202010-07-15-20at-2011-59-4 5/web.jpg?ver=12791918490001
My problem must have started last week when I did a restore on the iPhone to see if its speed would improve. I noticed this week events added to the iPhone calendar were not updating the Mac and vica versa via Mobileme.
I realised then I had to switch on Mobileme syncing on the iPhone. Bingo syncing works again but now I get this popup error message regularly.
What am I not doing or enabling kind sirs?I get the same error, when I am importing a calendar into MobileMe (via CalDAV) with items that have alarms more than 7 days out. The calendar I am trying to import is 37 MB in size and goes back to 1999 (it started life on a Palm III).
My solution, which is very time consuming, when this error occurs is to
1. change the alarm lead time to less than seven days,
2. re-export the calendar to an ICS file,
3. disconnect iCal from MobileMe (Preferences->Accounts->"-"),
4. delete the old destination calendar on www.me.com,
5. create a new, empty calendar on www.me.com,
6. reconnect to the MobileMe calendar in iCal (Preferences->Accounts->"+"), and
7. import the ICS file into the empty MobileMe calendar.
It's a real pain! I really do wish, Apple would fix the issue very soon. During a chat with a MobileMe support agent I was informed that Apple was working on the CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation, although she didn't offer any details and didn't appear to be aware of a connection with the length of alarm lead times.
