MobileMe Sync brings internet to a halt

When MobileMe syncs, it almost completely stops any other Internet traffic.
Any suggestions/similar experience?

I think most people use smoothcam for a few seconds of footage, I can't imagine why you apply it to a whole hour...the effect is also applied to the whole length of the original clip, so try this, export 20 seconds as a self-contained movie, re-import that, and apply smoothcam, I bet it works a lot better.

I have a previously installed app's mobileme sync pref. still in my mobileme sync list in system prefs. Any suggestions on how to remove this?

I have a previously installed app's mobileme sync pref(com.panic.transmit.Favorites) still in my mobileme sync list in system prefs. Any suggestions on how to remove this?

Thanks again for the idea. I just tried it and it didn't work... sort of. iTunes is syncing the photos because I can see that it's optimizing them and syncing them without crashing. Then it says that my iPhone sync is complete and I can safely remove iPhone. But again, when I go into the Camera/Photos app nothing. When I bring up the camera and then touch the the little double square icon on the bottom left the only thing that comes up is a title at the top that says Camera Roll. Then in the middle of the screen is a big icon of a camera and the words No Photos under that. There's no way for me to go to a list of my iPhoto albums. UGH! What's up with this?

MobileMe Sync Failed.. but I no longer have an account

Every time I try and use the internet on my iPhone 3gs I get a popup that says "MobileMe Sync Failed". I used to have a free MobileMe account, but no longer used it because it expired. The account is not in the settings on my phone any more, but I am still getting this popup ALL THE TIME! I would like to know how to get rid of the message. I do not use any MobileMe accounts at the moment, so I would like it to stop because it is REALLY annoying.
Thank you!

Restart your iPhone by pressing and holding down the Sleep/Wake button until you get the slide to power off.
If that does not work then...
Reset the iPhone. Setting>General>Reset>
If that does not work then...
Restore the iPhone to it's factory settings and test.

Can I get rid of the MobileMe sync icon in Mountain Lion?

I recently set up a new MacBook Pro by using setup assistant to restore from a Time Machine backup of an old Snow Leopard machine. In general it's worked fine, but I still seem to have the old MobileMe sync icon in the menu bar, and as far as I can work out it's now totally functionless. MobileMe no longer exists, and there's no longer any MobileMe preferences screen to turn it off. Clicking on it just shows a message saying 'no devices syncing'. Does it serve any useful purpose in Mountain Lion, and if not, how can I get rid of it?

That works! Thanks. Does it serve any useful purpose in Mountain Lion that I'm missing, or is it just a stub that somehow didn't get removed?
Does nothing at all now.

Problems with mobileme syncing ...

Hi everyone. I'm having massive problems with mobileme sync with my iphone, my macbook and MacPC G5. Essentially I want the iphone contacts and calender data to overwrite anything on laptop and pc but I keep getting message that contacts couldn't be synced due to inconsistent data. Despite me overriding it. I'm not sure how I go about confirming that the computers data is valid and actually whether I want to because its the iphone data I want. Then despite saying its synced calenders its not updating on my macbook or PC ... any suggestions gratefully received. Its doing my head in! Oh I'm on Leopard OS.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the advice, I haven't tried that yet. Will do so and pray that it will work. This however doesn't solve the problem of appointments I'm putting on my iphone not updating on PC and laptop - they do however update on mobile me cloud! Any advice greatly appreciated!

Empty "Links__1" and "Links__2" folders in Safari after syncing my Internet Explorer Bookmarks with iTunes.

I use Firefox and Internet Explorer on my desktop and sync the bookmarks between them using XMarks. I then sync my Internet Eplorer bookmarks to my iPad using iTunes. On top of all of my bookmarks, which sync fine, I have 2 extra empty folders called "Links__1" and "Links__2". I can delete them but they eventually reappear after syncing (though not always on the next sync).
Any ideas on what is causing this and how to prevent this would be appreciated.

Solved.
I think.
I had 2 hidden "Favorites Bar" folders in my Favorites folder. Deleted them and the pronlem seems to have gone away.
Fingers crossed.

How do I stop MobileMe Sync with Aperture 3?

Hi All,
I just published my first gallery to MobileMe from AP3. It was quick and easy and I like that it's easy to share to friends. However, is there any way to leave the gallery up while disconnecting or preventing Aperture from syncing with it? I don't plan to make any changes to this gallery now, after the initial upload and I'm wondering if one can just upload and be done with it (letting the gallery live on the web) - and not have Aperture try to continually connect to the gallery for updating. Or, is there a way to just update manually?
Thanks.

Hey narfee,
I found an article that can goes over how to unregister your computer from syncing.
MobileMe Sync: About registering and unregistering computers
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1074
It depends on what type of computer you're using, but I pasted the relevant steps below:
Unregister a computer from syncing
If you no longer want a computer to sync with MobileMe, you can unregister the computer from syncing. You can unregister any computer that is registered for syncing from any other computer with Mac OS X v10.4.11, v10.5.8, v10.6.x, OS X Lion, Windows XP, or Windows Vista, as long as you know your member name and password.
Unregistering a computer from syncing does not delete any data.
To unregister a computer from syncing:
Mac OS X v10.4.11
Open System Preferences
Click .Mac
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Mac OS X v10.5.8, v10.6.x, OS X Lion
Open System Preferences
Click MobileMe
Click Sync
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Note: In Mac OS X v10.5.8, if you unregister all computers you may be prompted to delete unwanted sync data. If you are no longer syncing with MobileMe, you can delete the unused sync data from the MobileMe servers.
Windows XP or Vista
Open Control Panel
Click MobileMe Preferences
Click Sync
Click Advanced
Select the Computer you wish to unregister
Click Unregister
Cheers,
David

'MobileMe / Sync Now' menu bar item

A MobileMe / Sync Now icon has appeared on my menu bar in Finder (2 semicircular clockwise arrows), which I am unable to remove. I cannot see a check box in System Preferences>MobileMe giving me the option to show / remove this icon. Is there another way of doing this?

Launch iSync and open its preferences. You should see an option to "Show status in menu bar". You can also often remove items from the right side of the menu bar by doing a command-drag.

"This password is different" Issue with MobileMe Syncing

Hi all,
I am getting an issue on two of my Mac's at the moment, which are both MobileMe sync'd (Contacts, Calendar and recently, Bookmarks) which is that saved passwords are no longer being pre-filled and when i enter the password it states "This password is different. Would you like to replace the saved password with this one?" even though the password is correct and the one that is stored.
It's obviously something that has happened when i turned Bookmark sync on, but I don't know what, not how to undo it. Obviously I have taken Bookmark sync off now, but it hasn't rectified the issue.
Any help welcome.
Regards
Bill

O.K., I'm not a computer guy so I don't know why this caused it, but I found out what my problem was and maybe this will help. I had loaded a plug in for a school site that the only way to get it to run was to do a "Get info" on the safari app and check "Open Using Rosetta." The plug in ran fine and I forgot about it. I finally went back and unchecked that box and now my passwords/usernames are working fine after about a week of frustration.
Good Luck,

MobileMe sync problem

After upgrading to Leopard on a Macbook can't seem to enable MobileMe syncing.
I have entered my account info into System Preferences->MobileMe and can see my Account Status info, iDisk usage, etc.
But if I check the "Synchronize with MobileMe" button in System Preferences->MobileMe->Sync, the schedule pulldown and the checkboxes below of Bookmarks/Calendars/Contacts remain grayed out. And if I click anywhere else in the window after checking the "Synchronize with MobileMe" button, the button becomes unchecked.
?

Hi,
You may need to click the Advanced button and Reset Sync Data but proceed with caution unless you are confident either MobileMe or your Mac contains the latest data to sync from or to. It's worth keeping a back up of your current contacts, bookmarks, calendars and such before attempting to reset sync.
Alternatively, consider opening a live chat with support, go to http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/ click on Synching with Mobile Me > Troubleshooting MobileMe Sync issues > Chat Now.

Push mobileme syncing in one direction only?

I have just inherited an iPhone 3G from a son who has upgraded to the new iPhone. I am having problems with the mobileme syncing. It only seems to push in one direction! Entries to iCal made on my MacBook and pushed to my iPhone but entries to iCal made on my iPhone are NOT pushed to my MacBook.
any suggestions? thanks

I did my reset and it seems to have speeded up the 3G iPhone somewhat but not cured these syncing anomalies.
I am syncing three way
Mobileme
MacBook iCal
iPhone iCal.
I have sent test diary dates from each source
Mobileme and iCal are playing nicely but the iPhone is sulking and won't receive or send diary events.
In my iPhone my Systems Prefs are...
Accounts: mobileme
Fetch new data: Push
my email on my iPhone is working well with email Mobileme and email on the MacBook is also working well with Mobileme.

Migrated to iCloud, MobileMe sync menulet still there

Didn't know that!
Thanks! Anyhow, disappeared somehow before. But your answer could be helpful sometimes....

Missing calendars on one of my MobileMe Synced computers.

I'm using MobileMe Sync to sync calendar data between Work & home iMac, Laptop and iPhone. All of my calendars that I am syncing show up except on my laptop. 3 of 5 calendars show-up and are syncing. 2 are missing from the laptop.
I have reset the sync data, unregistered and registered the laptop, replaced data on the laptop with MobileMe, still the calendars do not show up.
I'm running 10.5.7 on all the computers. Any suggestions?

This has just started to happen to me as well.
On my iMac, Macbook Pro and iPod Touch I have just noticed that I have complete calendars missing. However when I check on the mobile me web account, the missing calendars are still showing there but I can not get them to resync.
A completely missing calendar is easy to spot, and not good at all. I'm also really worried that I have individual calendar entries missing as well which will be impossible to notice
Anyone any idea's what's going on or how to restore these calendars.

Alternatives to MobileMe Sync?

I was using MobileMe Sync to sync settings, dock icons, FTP account (transmit) etc. between my two Macs.
Are there any alternatives now after MobileMe has been changed to iCloud? It is really a huge problem for me, since I have to setup all my stuff twice. I cannot understand why they had decided to take this feature away. Please Apple, add sync to iCloud!

I also want to add to what Mr Endo said...
A) It shouldn't be possible to select a folder and then have the option of publishing to Mobile Me, Facebook or Flickr. For me those are all grayed out when I have a folder selected in the sidebar.
B) Are you referring to a project or an album by chance? If so, then you will need to select the photos, in the Browser, before choosing to upload to an online service.
Cheers,
Owen

MobileMe Sync Issues after Snow Leopard Upgrade

After installing Snow Leopard, MobileMe has been acting up specifically with syncing.
I have tried to reset it via the instructions found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1497
I am hoping it will be corrected and stays corrected. If you have the same issues, please let us know.
Thank you.

This solution has helped some with MobileMe syncing.
1. Close all programs
2. Logout from MobileMe in System Preferences > MobileMe.
3. Run Disk Utility/Repair permissions from your startup drive.
4. Restart computer.
5. Login to MobileMe, and reset your sync choices.
6. Try syncing.
The first sync may take a good while, and you may be ask if you want to merge, overwrite. etc.
