Remove mobile me system preferences

Can someone help me. I can't seem to remove the mobile me icon from my system preferences not can I add the i cloud symbol so I can access the i cloud. I'm in a real muddle. Can anyone help? Thanks

Please always state your operating system when you have a question.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
  and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
  You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
  If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

  • Remove app. in system preference.

    i have some app. in system preference. is there any way to remove them?
    some ppl say, just drag icons out of the window, but it does not work.

    Hi xjaroo
    With System Preferences closed
    navigate to the directory: Library / PreferencePanes folder where you will see the files called
    "TheApplicationName".prefPane
    that you want gone.
    Drag them to the Desktop
    Open System Preferences and they should be gone.
    If so you can then trash them.

  • Problems with Mobile Me System Preferences after installing Snow Leopard

    I installed Snow Leopard yesterday, and noticed that my calendar was no longer syncing between my mac and my iphone. I opened the system preferences/mobile me pane and my .mac account came up, but when I tried to hit the "sync" pane it just froze. It did this repeatedly. I trashed the system preferences file and tried again, with the same result.
    Any ideas? I'd really like my calendars to continue syncing across devices.

    I had same issue, this cured it for me...
    - Open MobileMe in System Preferences
    - Click Advanced
    - Click Reset Sync Data
    - Select Calendar from drop down menu/pop up list
    - (In my case I changed the arrow, to copy all calendar events from my mac to mobileme)
    This resets the data in mobile me.
    After this the sync function worked as normal & my iPhone syncing was ok as well...
    Hope this helps

  • How do i remove messages from my notification centre?  If I remove it in system preferences when I reboot it is back.

    Hello,
    I have gone through the process described on many websites, where as you go to system preferences>notifications and grab and move the Share Button for Messages from "In Notification Center" to "Not In Notification Center" but everytime I restart or reboot after the Share Button for Messages is back in the "In Notification Center" area.  How do I stop this?
    dofromon

    Hello Jan,
    You are right there are no settings for Notification Center but if for instance you do not want Reminder updates to be shown through Notification Center then you need to de-select it from iCloud Preferences. I am unsure about Yosemite but I know in Mavericks they are linked. Check your other posting to the question v1ct0r had and there I have put a more elaborate answer. Notification Centre does not Remember Settings

  • Despite having removed non-desired wi-fi airport network in my system preferences, the removed network continues to appear when I click on the Airport icon in the menu in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Any suggestions?

    I'm trying to remove an unwanted Wi-Fi network on my IMAC but after removing it in System Preferences
    it still shows up when I click on the Airport icon in the task bar ? The other thing that keeps happening is
    the Airport changes networks at random and when it does my wireless printers won't work until I change
    the network back again... Very annoying... Any help would be appreciated

  • Strange item in 'system preferences'

    I'm running Tiger 10.4.5, and when I first started my Mac, it was on 10.4.2.
    I have recently noticed an item called 'classic' in 'System Preferences'. I looked around on the forum and it sounded like that would only be there is I had run Mac 0S 9 on the iMac, which I never have. It isn't causing any harm, but I have no idea why it is there all of a sudden, and whether it is easy to remove.

    Hi, Daniel.
    If your Mac shipped with Tiger installed, then Classic (actually, Mac OS 9 which is required for Classic) is not installed by default from the factory.
    If you installed Mac OS 9, or if a Mac OS 9 "System Folder" was available on any mounted volume, the Classic preference pane would appear in System Preferences. It is used to configure preferences for Classic mode, which enables one to run certain Mac OS 9 applications simultaneously with Mac OS X.
    The appearance of the Classic preference pane may also be triggered by the presence of the following file in your Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost folder:
    com.apple.Classic.xxx.plist
    where xxx is an alphanumeric string.
    The Classic preference pane is one of the System-level preference panes installed with Mac OS X. It only appears in System Preferences if it "thinks" Classic is available.
    My advice would be to ignore it vs. removing the preference pane from the Macintosh HD > System > Library > PreferencePanes folder as this may cause issues with later Mac OS X Updates: one should never modify System-related files or folders unless one is a guru.
    Unfortunately, since the Classic preference pane is bundled with Tiger, it cannot be removed using the instructions in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Adding or removing third-party System Preferences." Those instructions, as their title implies, only works with third-party preference panes.
    Good luck!

  • Removing Icons from System Prefs

    How can I remove from the System Preferences panel an icon of a function that I have removed from the hard drive?
    I threw out Time Machine, but the icon is still there and I even get the dialog when I click on it. But I want it out.

  • HT204053 Although I have iCloud, my system preferences still show Mobile.me.  I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password.  How do I do it?

    Although I can access iCloud, my system preferences on my iMac still show Mobile.me.  I have to sign in with my mobile.me ID which is not the same as my Apple ID. I want to change my iCloud ID and password to be consistent with my Apple ID and password.  How do I do it?

    you need to be running OSX 10.7 or 10.8 to use iCloud i believe. It shows you are using 10.6.8 which doesn't support iCloud.

  • I can't set up icloud on my older macbook. The systems preferences has only "mobile me". I have lots of files on this computer that I want to transfer.

    How do you set up icloud on an older macbook? It is full of files that I want to keep. The system preferences menu does not have icloud. It has mobile me. Do I have to upgrade the operating system to, say, mountain lion? Does anyone know how to solve this problem? I want to give the old one to my granddaughter.

    You have to update to Lion at least to get basic iCloud functions, and if you want full iCloud functions, then you need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • I am trying to set up ICloud on my MacBook pro and I have the most recent software but all that shows up in system preferences is mobile me still.  Why is that?

    Mobile me is still there and I don't have a mobile me account so I cannot log in.

    I am having the same problem.
    My iMac has kept up to date with OSX now at 10.7.4. I successfully switched to iCloud yesterday - and System Preferences shows iCloud icon.
    My 2 laptops (Air, Pro) I have realised are behind thet times - both are on 10.6.8. In both cases Software Update says they are up to date!
    I am wondering if this has something to do with the fact that I was very lazy and bought the OS X Lion from the App Store - downloaded onto the iMac and then transferred legally to the laptops with a USB drive.
    I have tried to update the laptops with a download of 10.7.1 (and also 10.7.2) but the system wants a 10.7 upgrade first.
    I am now downloading the whole of Lion again from the App Store, to see if that will allow me to update the 2 laptops.
    Any insight out there? I will report progress..........

  • HT4759 enable icloud in system preferences instead of mobile me

    I've upgraded my macbook pro to the latest i0s version today.  I have aso downloaded and installed itunes.  Still when I go into System Preferences on my MacBook Pro I see Mobile Me under Internet and Wireless instead of iCloud.
    Can you help me to understand how to get iCloud to show up on that Internet  and Wireless settings?
    I have icloud installed on ipad, iphone, windows desktop.  But just can't get it on the MacBook Pro.
    Thanks much!

    You didn't - iOS is the system for iPhones. If you are running Snow Leopard the free updates will get you only as far as 10.6.8. To get iCloud you will need the paid upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. You will need to check that your machine meets the requirements,
    Lion requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)

  • In System Prefereneces, when I am in Desktop and Screen Saver, I am unable to remove folders. I can click the "-" and the folder appears to be gone, but when I close and then reopen System Preferences, and open Desktop and Screen Saver, the folder reappea

    In System Prefereneces, when I am in Desktop and Screen Saver, I am unable to remove folders. I can click the "-" and the folder appears to be gone, but when I close and then reopen System Preferences, and open Desktop and Screen Saver, the folder reappears in the list. I have tried deleting preferences "plist" but I am totally unable to remove the folders.

    I've seen one other report like yours, and I think the issue is caused by a bug, but I don't know what triggers it.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How do you remove a third party item from the system preference

    I am running Mt Lion 10.8.5 and need to remove the Norton Antivirus that is in the system preference. 
    What is the trick on getting it out of there?

    Hi,
    Read All on this one.
    The Disk or the Installer .dmg that you got for this should have an Uninstaller included.
    On a  Disk it may be a separate item.
    However sometimes it is an option choice during the Install screens.
    The web site for the app should also have instructions (in rare cases the Uninstaller is on the web site)
    Common "all user"  add-on Preferences Pane are stored in Had Drive Name/Library/PreferencesPanes
    The ones that come in the OS are in Hard Drive Name/System/Library/PreferencePanes
    Note the Path Bar displayed across both pics.  (Finder > View Menu > Show Path Bar).
    You also have a User Folder version Hard Drive Name/Users/(your account name)/Library/PreferencePanes (~/Library/PreferencePanes)
    You have to use the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder and type (Copy from here and Paste there) in the Dialogue box that appears  (use the ~/Library/PreferencePanes option)
    There is a good chance this one is empty.
    Broadly speaking though the more complicated the processes behind a Preference Pane or app the easier and better it is to remove it with the correct Uninstaller.
    Norton is Invasive !!
    USE THE UNINSTALLER Method
