ATV2 MobileMe Login Error - "Unknown MobileMe Account"?

Trying to log in to MobileMe through my Apple TV 2nd Gen and keep getting the error, "Unknown MobileMe Account". I've tried my user ID and also as my MobileMe e-mail address. I don't even get to the password request. It's a paid account, not a trial version.
Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

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.

I'm trying to sync my iphone in IPhoto. I get this message "our MobileMe account information is not correct. The provided login or password is not valid." when I click on the "Open MobileMe Preferences" button, it doesn't take me there. Help please.

Mobile me has been discontinued for over a year. What system and iPhoto versions are you running?
How are you trying to sync? With Photo Stream or thru iTunes?
Do you have an iCloud preference pane in your System preferences?
Do you meet the minimum requirements for iCloud and Photo Stream?

User settings and mobileme account removed upon user logout/login

On several occasions my touchpad settings and format settings (system preferences/international) had suddenly changed.(i.e. "tap to click", "drag" and "drag lock" all changed and so does the format from UK to USA). On these occasions I am also thrown out of my mobileme account and my idisk partitioning is removed. No other keychain setting seems to be affected. I wasn't sure what triggers this, and at first I thought it was due to a run down battery, which somehow changed the settings. However, I just noticed, that when logging out of my user account and back in, the settings are suddenly being changed.
Does anybody have an idea what is going on? This is rather frustrating, having to re-sync my idisk all the time.

You'll need to copy your /Home/Library folder. Make sure you back up first before doing the following. Log out of both your Work and Play accounts. Log in to a third account with administrator privileges. Assuming you are copying from the account called "work" to the account called "play", enter the following in Terminal:
sudo rm -rf ~play/Library (this deletes Play's Library folder.)
sudo cp -R ~work/Library ~play/Library (this copies Work's Library folder to Play's folder.)
sudo chown -R play ~play/Library (this fixes permissions of Play's new Library folder.)

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.

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.

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.

OK - I am trying to be rude either, just very frustrated.
I hope the OP is not put off and for her benefit I will post this.
If you are looking for galleries and have an otherwise functioning ATV2 read no further.
If you are trying to get your unit to work because:
1) You have selected to send feedback to Apple and then wanted to key in your mobile me address and failed, or
2) Tried to set the iTunes store by using your me address, because they are the same, or
3) You are trying to set up home sharing using your mobile me address
then as part of the set up process you will, having keyed in your .me address and password, have got the message that your mobile me account can not be found.
If you look under the general section, you have the option to set time zone. If this shows Cupertino and you have selected either "automatic time setting" or keyed in another town not on Pacific ST and you are not in Cupertino then date and time have not set.
You can unplug the unit and leave for a few minutes, you can select to reset and restore. You can check that your router allows access to the necessary ports (typically 53, 80, 123, 443, 3689 and UDP 5353).
If your Apple TV on reset and opening the ports, still hangs at "setting date and time," then you are one of a group of people being blocked access for some reason that is not being shared openly - other than my comment above about server issues at Apple's end. This is not malicious but just repeating information posted on this and other fora. I can not confirm or deny, but when every other option has been discounted then only certain solutions remain.
I wish you luck in getting your ATV to work as it should.
PS I don't think cables are an issue here as you obviously are seeing something on the screen to see that you can't log in.

ICloud, iTunes, MobileMe Account Management HELP

Hello,
I am having problems getting my Mac, iPhones, iPad to properly syncronize...
I am trying to sync my:
iMac
iPhone
Wife's iPhone
iPad
Between me and my wife we have 3 accounts:
Wifes iTunes account : [email protected]
My iTunes account: [email protected]
MobileMe: [email protected]
My iTunes account has been our primary account for most content however iCloud will not let me login using my gmail account, I have to use my mobileme account which I just had a trial of and have never really used.
So when I updated all our devices to iOS 5 I am having lots of conflicts with: Find my iPhone, iCloud syncing, iTunes store purchases, apps, facetime etc.
conflicts:
location not updating in the find my iphone app
unable to use facetime whatsoever
unable to make purchases on itunes or app store because my wife's account info got synced to my iphone etc.
I want to use my gmail account since that is the account that has 99% of all my iTunes purchases. Can I use my gmail account with iCloud??
Any help very much appreciated, so far this is very confusing and not working as expected.

Hi,
Delete around 1,000 tracks so that the limit is reduced below 25k.
Hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes then reopen. Turn on match, you will be asked to add this computer, do so. The process may take sometime but if tracks had need previously matched or uploaded, the process will be quicker that a complete new scan.
Once scan has completed, check that the tracks have been matched, uploaded or purchased. Create a playlist based on iCloud status being matched or uploaded. This will tell you the total number of tracks that count towards the 25k. You can now think about readding the deleted tracks.
If you go over 25k non iTunes purchased track again, you can use the second library method to manage your main library. When you delete a track from the cloud it does not delete it from your computer. When you go back to your main library you will see the iCloud status as "Removed". Match will ignore in future scans.

How to transfer an iWeb site from one MobileMe account to another.

I am creating an iWeb site for a friend. I am doing this using my mac and my MobileMe account. I understand that the iWeb site assets are all stored in my MobileMe iDisk. I want to take the finished site and transfer it to my friends computer and his MobileMe iDisk so he can manage it from there. How do I do this.

If you have your friends MobileMe login details, then you can publish the site to his MMe account directly from your Mac. Go to System Preferences and log out of your MMe account and then into his and then go back to iWeb and then publish the site directly to his MMe account.
As far as giving him the ability to manage the sites, just give him the relevant domain file for the site. Go to User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites and find the domain file and then you can e-mail it to his Mac and he can then put the domain file in the same place on his Mac.
Whatever you do, don't publish the site to your desktop - you won't be able to do anything with it. It is the domain file that you need if your friend wants to manage and alter the site in any way.

You do not currently have a MobileMe account

Actually I DO have a mobileMe account and aperture has used it before but apparently forgot.
When I go to upload a webpage from Aperture, I get this:
You do not currently have a MobileMe account configured on this computer. Click “Sign Up” for a free 60 day trial account, or click “Configure” to enter your MobileMe name and password.
If I click Configure, of course MobileMe in Prefs comes up and all is well. I tried to login via Safari but that doesn't help.
Anyone have any ideas why Aperture doesn't like my MobileMe account?
If there's a trashable plist I don't know which one it would be.

Remove a mobileme account

I opened iPhoto for the first time today. To my surprise it is identifying some unknown person's Mobileme account who apparently tried to use my email address to set up a mobile me account. The iPhoto application will not let me delete this account. Any ideas?

Two macs -- one iTunes account -- one mobileme account

ok, so i hope i can get my question across correctly. thanks in advance for those of you that help. i have a macbook pro, along with an iPhone and an iPad. my husband has an iMac and an iPad. we both want to be able to use the same iTunes account but we both want to be able to sync our iPad's & iPhone to our own computers. we both also want to sync in mobileme. my questions:
1. how do we sync both computers to one iTunes account?
2. do we both need to have a separate mobileme account?

This might be just the place to post my question.
First, I'm on Windows Vista ... not a mac ... and I do not own MobleMe ... wondering if someone has suggestios for me concernign sharing an iTunes account between me and my wife.
Currently, my wife and I have separate Windows Logons ... and we each have our own respective iTunes account. She syncs her iTunes with her iPhone, and I sync my iTunes with my iPad and iPhone.
I'm interesting in merging our separate iTunes accounts into one for the purpose of not having to purchase duplicate apps that we each will be wanting in the future. (She doesn't know it yet, but she's going to get her own iPad for a surprise present.)
Looks like we are going to repurchase all her paid apps and place those into my account ... (she has fewer paid apps than I have, and that seems to be the least expensive way to start off.)
So... Here's my question:
Is it better to have her sign off permantly from her installed iTunes Account, and sign back on as "me" ... then download all the apps I have already bought that she wants? ( I.e. have two separate iTunes installations - both using the same login ID and password ... but personally configured to our liking).
... OR ...
Is it better to delete her installation of her iTunes Account and just start using mine ... again configured to her liking by checking which apps should install her her devices and which should be installed to my devices?
=============
Right now, she has her own music and I have mine ...
I'm open to any suggestions about PROs and CONs of each method ...
Thanks for sharing
