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?

iPhoto preferences ==> accounts ????

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.)

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 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!

Do not have mobileme account, but, iphoto starts connection process and I get repeated error messages "difficulty connecting to mobileme"...how do I fix?

I do not have a MobileMe account. Yet, when trying to upload photos from iPhoto to FaceBook I get repeated messages, "Difficulty connecting to MobileMe." This is after the rainbow wheel spins for a while. Sometimes I have to force quit iPhoto because iPhoto locks up. This also happens on occasion while I'm working in iPhoto, such as moving between albums or editing features. I use iPhoto '11 with latest updates. How can I resolve this issue?

Hey,
If you've resolved the issue by turning off syncing then no further troubleshooting is needed. Having syncing turned off will prevent you from syncing an iOS device over USB with calendars / contacts. The only time iPhoto talks to MobileMe is if you have a MobileMe account added (as far as I am aware).
If you wish to troubleshoot further:
I checked out my User>Library>Caches and >Preferences. Neither had a >com.apple.iphoto file.
These must exist otherwise iPhoto would not be working at all as they are required for it to launch. Lets try another route to get to the same location.
Click on the Finder icon in the dock (smiley face)
Go to "Go" > "Home" at the top of the computer screen
Double-click "Library"
Double-click "Caches"
Go to "View" > "As List" at the top of the computer screen
-- This list should now be alphabetical...if not click on the column called "Name" to alphabatize
-- Locate a blue folder called "com.apple.iphoto" and remove to the trash
Click on the Finder icon in the dock (smiley face)
Go to "Go" > "Home" at the top of the computer screen
Double-click "Library"
Double-click "Preferences"
Go to "View" > "As List" at the top of the computer screen
-- This list should now be alphabetical...if not click on the column called "Name" to alphabatize
-- Locate the files called "com.apple.iphoto" they will have a variety of endings. As long as they say "com.apple.iphoto" drag them to the trash.
- Restart the computer
If the issue persists I would try with a new iPhoto Library. Hold down option and launch iPhoto and create a new library. Add a picture or two and then test.

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.

Lost Contacts and without a MobileMe account..

Hi, Just yesterday I've lost all my contacts suddenly on my iphone 3GS. I read for many ways to recover it, it all say to recover them from a MobileMe Mail account, but I do not have a mobileme account and i've not synced my phone to my itunes for backup before. Is there any way for me to recover my contacts? In my Mails, Contacts and Calender settings, i'm only connected to my hotmail. Will there still be stored backup somewhere on the server or something? Because the contacts just disappeared and have yet to return. Please Help!

She obviously has a MobileMe account or there would be no MobileMe account to disable on her iPhone. And if her contacts are now gone, this means she was syncing contacts over the air on her iPhone with her MobileMe online address book. When turning contacts off for over the air syncing on the iPhone and when deleting or disabling the account on the iPhone, contacts synced over the air go with it or are removed from the iPhone.
Her contacts should be available with her MobileMe online address book unless she signed up for a MobileMe trial account for 60 days and didn't purchase the account allowing it to expire.
Regardless, her contacts should be available on her computer as well. If the contacts are available in an address book app that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone, she can sync contacts direct with the supported address book app on her computer via the iTunes sync process.

Mobileme account and itunes

I want to use my mobileme account as my default ID in itunes but it say I cant use it. I log in using my mobileme accunt and then go into my account settings to change to my mobileme email address but it says I cant use it. Am I doing something wront?

I tried:
disabling the addin in Outlook: no effect,
removing the MobileMe Control Panel via Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs (no-go there, as there is no Uninstall option),
flushing iTunes, Apple Sofware Update, Apple Mobile Devices Support, Bonjour and Apple Applications Support using Revo Uninstaller on its most aggressive setting and then re-installing iTunes: no effect.
In the end, I simply renamed C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\OutMMe32.dll to OutMMe32.dll.rjs
Seems to be a safe workaround; Outlook is back to its original behviour and iTunes is fine (or as much as it ever was, anyway).

I have a MobileMe account but only received 5gb worth of iCloud storage, how do I get the other 20gb?

How do I get my 20gb that come with my MobileMe account?

You are a bit early.
Wait for a few month. iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and the Photos.app for Mac are being beta tested now and will be available soon on your Mac. Then you can store your photo library in iCloud and keep optimised versions of your photos on your Mac locally, with the full sized versions in iCloud. And all your devices will be able to access the photos in iCloud.
See Apple's preview of the new Photos for Mac: http://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your devices. When you choose "Optimize Mac Storage", it stores all your full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud in their original formats, while keeping storage-saving versions on each device. When you make an edit, the original image will download automatically. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.
and also: Photos for the Mac Is Clean, Fast, Connected — and Unfinished
The iPads and iPhones can already do it, but the Mac can only access this library using the web interface, see: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
Use the time, till Photos will be released, to consolidate your photo library. Get all places and faces tagged, all keywords, titles, and ratings ready, duplicates removed, events and albums well structured, and when Photos will be released, you can simply let it migrate the iPhoto or Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library. Enable "Optimize Storage" and you will be able to have the bulk of your photos in iCloud.

Changing MobileMe account "From" address

I've decided to consolidate all of my e-mail to my MobileMe account with the address [email protected] All's well except on my iPhone, where e-mails are sent from [email protected] In iPhone settings for my MobileMe account, the address is listed as [email protected], and this is grayed out with no option to edit it. If I try to create a new MobileMe account (with a new name), I get an "already exists" error. Do I have to delete the account and start from scratch?

Do I have to delete the account and start from scratch?
Yes. Just remove the account and re-set it up using the [email protected] email address.
As all your mail is stored on the server, removing and re-adding the account won't lose anything.
If you are syncing email account settings via iTunes or MobileMe, check that it's not listed as [email protected] anywhere on your computer too.

Can't get/send mail from MobileMe account

Suddenly, my mail app does not download mail to my MobileMe account, or send from it. All my other accounts from different suppliers work normally. I can see the mail sitting on my MobileMe page (via Safari) but the spinning cog wheel just goes round and round - on both inbox and Sent.
I've restarted, repaired permissions, removed the account from preferences and re-installed it, but it makes no difference. Any ideas?

Well, I wouldn't jump into that just yet. Others may have suggestions for you to try.
Select the moble me account in the inbox and try rebuilding the mailbox under the mailbox menu. See if that does anything.
Also, check server and port setting and compare to the one still working on your laptop.
At some point in time, I assume MMe will not be configurable under a regular account, but will all be intergrated fully into iCloud. Have you considered just signing into iCloud and using it that way? When doing so, it will create the account in your Mail application as long as you're signed in.
One word of caution: when signing into iCloud, be careful what you select to use. If you select calendars, it will upload your calendar info into iCloud and delete the information locally from the computer. Your calendar information won't be available on your computer when you sign out. Address book gives you the option to keep local contacts on your computer when signing out.
I also tried to add a mobile me account outside of iCloud to test, but it keeps setting me up to the iCloud IMAP account. The account disappears from mail when you log out. So, it won't let me set it up as a POP account. I've tried to set it up in the past using the older settings before iCloud, but wasn't successful. Maybe I had the wrong settings. Not sure what MMe was using last.

Can't open Outlook after trying to add MobileMe account

I am trying to use Outlook to view my MobileMe emails, contacts and calendar. I have removed my hotmail account from Outlook and attempted to add my MobileMe account to Outlook but am receiving the following error message when opening Outlook:
'Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. Unsupported folder class (IPF.contact)'
I can see that I can change the settings/profile in the control panel (mail) but I am not sure what to change it to.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

What in the world does this have to do with the iPhone?

Changing MobileMe Accounts for Domain Name

Need some verification on this procedure before I mess up my web page.
I have a Web site Domain Name with GoDaddy using my son's Mobileme account. I want to change the Domain name to my mobileme account.
My plan is to remove the domain name on my son's Personal Domain and then adding it to my Personal Domain on my Mobileme Account.
Is this all I have to do? No changes to the GoDaddy account?

I completed the switch from one MM account to the other with no problem. Just removed the site from one & added it to the other & everything worked great.

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.

How can I remove an iTunes account from a computer I'm giving away?

How do I remove my iTunes account from a computer that I am giving to a student in my school? I want the music I purchased to play, but I don't want the student to have access to my email address or my credit card that is tied to "my account". I went through the steps to deauthorize a computer but encountered two problems: 1) The only command offered was "deauthorize all". There was no list of the authorized computers where I could check a box to select the one to deauthorize. 2) If I want to leave the music with the computer, but remove the authorization.

If you are giving the computer away you should not include music you've purchased: the purchase doesn't include the right to make copies to give to other people, which is what you would in effect be doing. The same applies to any purchased sofrtware which wasn't bundled with the computer when new.
The proper procedure when selling or giving a computer is to erase it completely and restore it to its out-of-the-box condition from the original disks. You should also make sure to include the disks which came with the computer.
