MobileMe inbox and account appear twice

In Mail on the iPad, my MobileMe Inbox appears twice under Inboxes, as does the account under Accounts. And the number of unread messages in the red circle is twice what it should be, reducing by two every time I read one of them.
In settings the account only appears once.
This seems to hav happened since I synched with the MBP a few days ago, although the two might not be related.
Any ideas?

Oops...sorry, read your problem the wrong way around! So ignore my previous post.

ICloud Account appears twice in Calendar & Notes

A few of my iCloud Accounts appears twice in Calendar & Notes but when I go to system preferences I see them only once.
So, in both applications I see all duplicated — I can deselect a calendar in iCal but it's more annoying in Notes where you can't click what you want to see.
When I want to go and delete the duplicate account from the main preferences I only see each account once.
Crazy, huh?

On the iCloud website I see everything alright, one of each, no duplicates.
On my Mac:
- Notes, no notes at all...
- iCal: no duplicates, but I see a few calendars twice. When I click Preferences - Accounts, I see no duplicate accounts!
- Address Book is a mess, some contacts appear like seven times, I looked for duplicates and merge them many times.
thanks

Calendars and Contacts appearing twice on iPhone

Since upgrading to OS 3.0 on my iPhone 3G I am finding that all my iCal events are appearing twice in the Calendars app.
And when I do a spotlight search on the iPhone, I find that contacts are listed twice.
I am a mobileMe user, and use mobile Me to sync my info to the phone over the air, rather than syncing calendars and contacts via iTunes.
Is anyone else having this info aear twice? Any ideas on how I can get the duplicate info to disappear?

Do you have MobileMe? This occurs if you sync Calendar with your Mac iCal AND MobileMe, with both having the same listings. You get duplicates with Contacts for the same reason. If you open Calendar and touch the left arrow to show "Calanders" you'll find 2 copies, merged in "All"
To get rid of the duplicates:
1. Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calenders > Accounts > MobileMe > Calendars > Off
You'll get a warning: "There are existing calenders synced with your Mac. Would you like to merge them with your MobileMe account?" Choose "Do not Merge". You then are asked what to do with the existing calenders on your phone - select "Delete."
2. Connect your phone to iTunes and go to the "info" tab of your device page and disable sync contacts with your Mac.
3. Settings > Mail.... > Accounts > MobileMe > Calendars > ON. It will take a few minutes to re-sync the calender without duplicates.
If you also have duplicates in Contacts, go though the same process.

One of my email accounts appears twice in the Folders pane. No idea why.

I have several accounts in Thunderbird. One of them appears twice - I know it's an exact copy becasue if I rename one folder, both accounts have the new name. The other accounts show only once. Mystified.

@christ1 Yes, using the same logic windows limit is something like 16 extbytes. Reality is 4Gb pulls it up.
There has been recent work on the messageid that will be in the next release, might even have made it into a recent security and stability release. But until that happens Thunderbird has 4Gb limited messageid numbers. I am still not convinced a non IMAP folder can be successful in the 4Gb plus range. Only time will convince me all the ugly realities have been fixed.

I've just lost access to my MobileMe emails and account when trying to change my password - I don't want to lose everything on my account . Help

I've tried to access my mobileme emails on icloud rather than the laptop, but password wasn't recognised, since changing it, I've lost all me emails from my laptop and can't recover my mobilie me account details.
I don't want to set up a different email address via icloud.
Help!
Any ideas?
I also cannot change settings on my email account..... (incoming server), so have suddenly lost all me email capabilty....

Presumably you didn;t use it very often.
June 2011:
iWeb publishing, MobileMe Gallery, and iDisk will all disappear as the company sunsets its current online service in favor of iCloud.
Other MobileMe services—including syncing of Mac Dashboard widgets, keychains, Dock items, and System Preferences—will not be part of iCloud, Apple says. Those syncing services will stop working as soon you migrate from MobileMe to iCloud. In addition, Apple says that while MobileMe members can no longer upgrade to a Family Pack or buy additional MobileMe storage, Family Pack members will be able to transition their accounts to iCloud individually, as long as it’s done before June 30, 2012.

August 2012:
As of today, visitors to MobileMe.com are no longer given the option to convert their accounts to iCloud or to retrieve old photos and files, with Apple now simply pointing users to iCloud.

Importing family MobileMe calendars and accounts into iCloud and living to tell the tale...

I have been staring at this for a long time and I hope this doesn't turn out to be as much of a brain twister as the early builds of MobileMe did. However, since I guess there must be plenty of us in the same boat, I figure this might be a good place to put together what we know and share our triumphs and disasters.
I have just installed 10.7.2 and the only mistake I have made to far was to hit the iCloud button and set iCloud up before I had read every single one of the FAQs, but then again, I haven't found any which address this problem. But I am sure that other people are already experiencing it.
We have a family MobileMe account, the main login being (we'll say) [email protected], which is the one I use; my wife uses [email protected] and our daughter uses [email protected]. The [email protected] is used purely for mail, contacts and calendars and nothing else worth mentioning.
Now comes the tricky bit.
We have a separate AppleId, based on a non-Apple email, which we will call [email protected].
When I upgraded to 10.7.2 and set up iCloud for my iMac, I (unthinkingly) set up [email protected] as the iCloud account and then (after I had realised this maybe wasn't such a smart move) set up my iCloud Mail, Contacts and Calendars to sync to we'll say [email protected], although I didn't transfer my MobileMe Mail, Calendar and Contacts across. Because I have an existing MobileMe account, this data is still associated with MobileMe.
The 64 dollar question is this: can I set up the two other iMacs in this house to use the [email protected] AppleId, set their iCloud emails to perhaps [email protected] and [email protected], then transfer all the MobileMe accounts across to the [email protected] addresses and keep all the data separate? Or is it the case that you can only run one set of mail, contacts and calendars from a single AppleId?
Or…
Are we going to have to create three separate AppleIds to run mail, contacts and calendars in iCloud and use [email protected] for the Apple Store.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated! My head hurts just from thinking about it all.
Andrew

I cannot receive or send mail via iCloud in my Mac Mail app. I can do both by going into iCloud and accessing Mail and Calendars there.
Make sure Mail and Notes is selectded in System Preferences > iCloud

Import pst from windows as a working inbox and account

Hi All,
I want to import my Outlook .pst from Windows into my new Macbook running 10.8 and Office 11
I followed the directions and exported from Windows a backup.pst, and shifted this over to the Mac.
However, when I import into Outlook it doesn't come up as a working inbox but as a folder underneath Inbox/Drafts/Sent/Deleted, and when I check in Prefs > Accounts, there is no account setup.
How do I do this? Do I have to setup the accounts first, and then do the import?
or do I import the working .pst file and not the backup.pst?
Please help.

Ask on the Microsoft mac forums: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac

Why does 'Minimize' and 'Zoom' appear twice in the Window menu? They appear under the rule, where all the open windows are listed.

Running FF 6.02 on Mac OS 10.6.8.
Window menu reads:
Minimize
Zoom
Minimize
Zoom
[open window 1]
[open window 2, etc.]

Thanks for your response. However, I see no mention of "layer-xxxxxx" appearing in the Window menu on the Mac menu bar in Firefox ''and'' that link says it only applies to Windows and Linux. May I ask what led you to that theory? Thanks...

User account appearing twice on external hdd

Hi,
For some reason one of my external hard drives is reporting back that there are 2 user accounts of the same name name? I've checked & repaired my permissions & also tried a few things I've seen on this forum, but with no luck. I know it's only a small thing & I should not worry about it, but it's bugging the **** out of me & I don't know how to get rid of it.
Here is a picture of what I mean. As you can see, the one on the right is ok, but the left one has this random account & if I untick 'Ignore ownership' it becomes an account called _Unknown
Any help on this would be appreciated & thanks in adavance

Restore Inbox Email Accounts from Time Machine?

My Mac lost power while I was in Mail. When I rebooted, my mail had lost all my Inboxes and accounts. I tried to restore from Time Machine, but I can't get all my accounts back. I have found all my stored emails in a Time Machine folder. Is there any way to go back to a previous version of Mail where it was all organized and intact? What I'm seeking specifically is for the numerous email accounts I had set up show up again under my Inbox.
Thanks for your help!

Do the mailboxes appear in Mail, but are empty or incomplete? If so, I'd be inclined to start by selecting each mailbox in turn, then from the menubar, +Mailboxes > Rebuild.+ That may fix it without any further hassles.
If the mailboxes appear, but the rebuild doesn't recover all the messages, see #15 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.
If the mailboxes don't appear at all, quit Mail and use Time Machine to restore the preferences file, then the messages, as in #15.
It's in <your home folder>/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
If you were searching for it via a Finder search, you have to include +system files,+ as odd as that seems. But the easiest way to find it is to just navigate to it in your backups.

My ipad mail is synced to my iMac mail account. On iPad, I can only see my inbox and sent messages. I can't see any of the folders I have created on my iMac. How do I do that? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there!

My iPad mail is synced to my private email account, which I organise on my iMac. On iPad, I can only see inbox and sent messages folders, not any of the other folders in my email account I have created on my iMac. How do I get iPad to show my other folders? Probably a dumb question, but I know there's a lot of smart people out there.

If you select a mailbox, you should get an Edit button (easier to see in landscape mode). Clicking the button will provide you with check circles for the messages. You also get Delete and Move buttons at the bottom. Check the messages you want to move and then navigate to the mailbox you want to drop them into. I think as long as you can navigate to a mailbox you can move the messages to it.
In the Mac Mail application and probably Outlook on the Windows side, you also setup rules to move messages to specific mailboxes. If the mailboxes are stored on the server, then you can have the sorting done on the server and they should appear that way on the iPad. If your later messages do not show up, you may need to have the iPad app pulled down more messages until they are all showing.

How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?

How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?
All I need is ONE INBOX (like Windows Mail used to do) ...
I can see in the 'Account' column of each message which email account it's using.
Then, I either junk or read the message, followed by delete or file to one of my created folders.
As it is, half my page is depth is taken up by 12 lines of Account names !!!

That still leaves SIX lines of Account names down the side. All I want is ONE INBOX ... (I can see which account each message belongs to in the 'Account' column...)

One particular GL account is appearing twice in a Report.

Hi Xperts,
We have a report in that particular report we can see the Balances of TOTAL COST OF SALES,Total wages & salaries,Total other staff costs,Total designing & merchantiging, Total selling, Total Depriciation,Total Distribution & TOTAL SUNDRY & GENERAL .
In the above report one GL account is appearing twice (The acct name SMALL DIFFERENCES ACCT) in the section of TOTAL COST OF SALES AND TOTAL SUNDRY & GENERAL
Why it is appearing twice?
Pls. help me.
Thanks in Advance

You have not mention that which report like Z report or standard one.
However, if it is Z report, the GL may be grouped twice in the report. and ask your ABAP team to find from where it is getting value. So that, it is easy to track why it is appearing twice in the report.
If it is standard report, check your FSV for the correct grouping.
