Stop checking for MobileMe galleries

Help! My Aperature has frozen, continually checking + updating "MobileMe Galleries". I went to Aperature>Preferences>Web to uncheck the box for "Automatically check for newly published albums" but the spinning ball of death won't let me uncheck it.
I can't use Aperature at all. Have Force Quit a few times. Have restarted computer too.

Does this standard procedure not work?
Force quit Aperture, if it is still running.
When the "MobileMe" panel appears, select "learn more", not "ok". Ignore the web page, that will appear.
In Aperture open the Preferences, go to the "Web" panel accounts pane and delete the "MobileMe" account.
If this does not work, disconnect from the internet before lauching Aperture (disable Wi-fi or unplug the ethernet cable). Then proceed as above.
Aperture should have stopped nagging by now, since it is no longer possible to migrate the MobileMe contents. If all fails, open the User library in the Finder (Finder menu bar > Go, hold own the alt/option key, until "Library" appears in the menu, select "Library")
Remove the file:
Your User Library > Preferences > com.apple.Aperture.plist
from the "Preferences" folder to the Desktop.
Also clear the file
Your User Library > Caches >com.apple.Aperture > mmsunset.plist
from the Aperture caches.
Post back, if this does not help.
Regards

Won't stop checking for mail!!! *fixed but not solved*

Hey all, my iPod touch is stuck in a weird way. It's working fine in every aspect except it will not stop "checking for mail". It's been in that mode for about 10 hours now, it isn't' receiving mail, just got the little spinning wheel and saying "checking for mail". I even have the wi-fi turned off!
It appears to be wearing my battering down much faster and I have tried everything I can think of, connected it to my mac, synced content, turned off wi-fi.
Does anyone know of anything else I can do?
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
EDIT: Forget it, tried turning it off and on and that fixed it. Sorry I didn't try that first...
Still have no idea why it happened though...

Thanks so much for your reply!
I should have also mentioned that I've deleted the account, did a reset, and even a restore (at apple's suggestion) and nothing has helped. I just finished reentering all the account info after the restore and it still has the "checking for mail wheel spinning". I have 15 iPads in this office and haven't had an issue with any of them expect this one.
It also has the "Load More Messages..." 29 messages total, 0 unread - at the bottom of the inbox, but it won't let me select it or "load" any more messages. It does send and receive emails just fine though. Slow, but fine.
Any other thoughts?!

Thunderbird has stopped checking for new mail on start up.

After updating to Thunderbird 24.3, the program stopped checking for new mail on start up. I now have to manually click "get Mail" for each email account. I have checked the configuration for each account and check mail on start up is checked.

couple of possibilities here
Shift + F5 will get all mail
I have some general troubleshooting processes here http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/basic-troubleshooting-for-thunderbird.html

Yahoo Mail not being downloaded, never stops "Checking for Mail"

Since the first time I synced since the new itunes version and the 1.0.1 update, I have not received any mail populating into my Yahoo account. I tried the restart, shutting off the other email accounts, etc.
I does not push, and when I try the Refresh, it never stops "Checking for Mail".
My gmail works fine.
Anyone have any ideas to correct?

Same here but a little stranger. Two items:
(1) If I go into my Yahoo Drafts, or Sent, or Trash, check mail works fast and I get the "Updated 8/26/07 time" message fine and it's accurate.
If I switch to Yahoo In, the initial footer says "Updated 8/14/07 xxx" and has said that for a week or so. It quickly changes to "Checking for Mail" and then never stops.
Anyone else see the "Checking for Mail" only on the IN box but not the others.
(2) I have been sending test emails to Yahoo (basic account). #1 happens as above (ie no mail seems to arrive). But if I scroll to the bottom of the IN box and click "Load 25 more messages", it does seem to pick up the new messages. "Checking for Mail" is still going strong. This seems to work most of the time.
Anyway. Not sure it this may help anyone figure this out.
[I have tried the approaches suggested here such as deleting Yahoo, turning off other emails, resetting network, changing IMAP inbox location, etc]

Since ios 6 update hotmail fetches or push on its own. I have hotmail set to manual. Best I can tell its only hotmail and not yahoo. Is this a known problem? How do I make hotmail stop checking for mail when I have it set to manual?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Photo sharing replacement for mobileme galleries

HI all,
I'm sure there are others out there, like me, who built their entire gallery strategy on using Apple's "mobileme galleries," and now you have had to find a replacement for that becuase as we all know....There will be no replacement for Galleries in iCloud, you'll need to find another service to host your photos.
So..what have you people done to solve the issue.
I'd love to know. I am still using iWeb and have a host for my site, but I need something to get some galleries on display. I used to love using the "mobileme galleries" and really miss that so much. It was so elegant and simple.
If there are any suggestions you can share, please fire away.
Thanks in advance, and so long for now, TOM

The following if from iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 5400 pixels wide.

Mail stops checking for new mail until closed and re-opened

This problem began a month or so ago and is only getting worse by the day. I have my Mail app set to check for new mail every minute, but recently it randomly stops checking at all and displays the triangle icon next to each Inbox. I have 10 different email accounts that I use Mail to check and they are a variety of different types from Exchange servers, to IMAP accounts, to POP accounts, iCloud, Outlook.com, Gmail, etc. Part of the time only 2 or 3 inboxes are affected, while other times (more recently) it’s ALL accounts. Clicking on Get Mail doesn’t help; no new mail is downloaded. The only way to get Mail to “wake up” is to close the app and then re-open it. When I do that, there is a flood of new mail that pours in to each account that had been offline. There are never any error messages telling me that anything has happened. I just know that Mail is stuck because of the triangle icon.
Also, there are times when my busiest account mysteriously has no new messages over a few hours, which is very unusual. Closing and re-opening mail will resume downloading mail again to that account. At least for awhile...
I thought I’d solved the problem by thinking that my router was only working intermittently, so I replaced it with a new Time Capsule. The problem did not go away.
I’ve talked to Apple Support and they’ve not been any help. I’d welcome any suggestions.

Password Protection for MobileMe Galleries

I want to have per friend a different login that I can apply on a MobileMe gallery, however it seems only to take 1 per gallery. Did I miss something ?
It seems as if it is only taking one user&password combo per gallery. However this would limit people very much in managing the access rights to different galleries.
For Example, Friend A should only see Galleries A, B with their login
Friend B should only see Galleries A and C with their login
Friend C should only see Galleries A, C and D with their login
How can it be done ?

Here is how I understand it to work.
If Friend A should only see Galleries A, B then you give that friend the username and password for Galleries A & B only.
If Friend B should only see Galleries A and C, then you give that friend the username and password only for Galleries A and C only
And so forth.
You can only assign 1 user name and 1 password per gallery. So it's not necessarily a persons name and a specific password for that person only, it's a username and password specific only to that gallery.
You can however assign the same user name and password to more then 1 gallery.
For example, maybe you have galleries that only family members should see. You could assign a username of "Family" and a password of "only" to all of the galleries that you want only your family members to access That way they wouldn't have to remember a bunch of different user names and passwords for all the different galleries, they would only have to remember 1 user name and 1 password.
Does that help at all?

Mail randomly stops checking for new mail

I've got a PowerMac that keeps Mail open full time. Recently, Mail just randomly stops working and no new messages from my Exchange server are downloaded. This only started within the past two weeks. Either the program is just sitting there with no evidence of function, or there is a continual spinning wheel by my Exchange inbox icon. Restarting Mail seems to be the only solution I've found. I am also running Mail Act-On, Mail Tags, and Mail attachments iconizer. Any ideas on what could be causing this behavior?
Thanks for any input.
Mark

Mail constantly checks for new mail; downloads same emails repeatedly HELP!

For the last three days (since 19th), Mail has been downloading the same emails over and over again. I first noticed a problem when about 20 spam emails that usually route to my Junk folder appeared in my Inbox. I thought I had just moved it incorrectly and deleted them, then they appeared again later.
The mail jogger cycle (next to Inbox) keeps turning and turning like it can't stop checking for new mail. How do I get it to stop?? The emails are multiplying like gremlins in my Inbox and driving me nuts!
Also, it only downloads new emails when I first open the app. I have to force-quit out of Mail, then reopen, and I will get a couple of new emails, and then ALL THE EMAILS FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS AGAIN.
Mail was working fine for me until three days ago. The only thing I've changed recently is a Software Update on the 15th for QuickTime and iTunes.
Please help! I tried to Repair Permissions and it didn't do anything. I also tried removing all messages from the server and that did nothing either.

UPDATE: I think I got it to stop checking mail. I have Yahoo mail and I checked my email through online Yahoo. I was able to delete a bunch of emails and it suddenly stopped checking for email in the Mail app.
HOWEVER, it will NOT remove some of my junk emails. I was able to delete over 100+ of them. But one specific message (which I now have 8 copies of) will not go away. It is one of those 'Delivery Status Notification' emails. Is this a virus??
I've tried Erasing Deleted Messages and Erasing Junk Mail. Neither helps. These emails won't go away.
Help please! I would be very grateful.

MobileMe Galleries Slow and address redirected

I use MobileMe galleries increasingly with Aperture. They have worked well and are fast and easy.
In the last few days, I have noticed a serious slow down with viewing galleries in Safari. Specifically, I've noticed that the page loads almost completely (slowly) then redirects to a very slightly changed name. So where the page address as shown in Aperture is for example : http://gallery.me.com/membername100123 ... it starts to load this page (slowly) then when almost done, redirects to this page : http://gallery.me.com/membername#100123. Note the '#' character. This page also loads incredibly slowly. By slow I mean at around 10KBs to 40KBs.
Does anyone have any suggestions about what is happening? Anyone else seeing the same thing?
Why is Aperture creating incorrectly addressed galleries? Any suggestions about how to fix this?

Answering my own question ...
It appears to be a DNS problem/issue with Safari or MobileMe or my ISP or a combination of them.
I always use my ISP's DNS servers. But trying some others show the problems. Google's are slow, but Open-DNS is as fast as Firefox. (I wonder if Firefox are doing some sort of DNS juggling internally?). Using Automatic and the router for DNS is slow too.
(BTW ... I had already reset Safari etc.)
The issue for Aperture remains though, in that it is supplying an erroneous/out-of-date URL for MobileMe galleries.

8830 Stops checking email until a battery pull

Hello:
I'm pretty new to BB's, the 8830 being my first one. My problem is that I have it set up to check a pop account but it seems that I need to pull the battery almost daily because it stops checking for new messages. I've tried turning it off/on every which way and checked all the email settings, but it seems like once it loses it's connection, it won't try to check mail again until I've pulled the battery. But, I'm afraid pulling the battery out every morning is going to wear it out (and me). Are there any other options or commands I can run to tell my 8830 to check my pop account? Thanks!

Metadata stripping MobileMe galleries

It was bought to my attention that both Aperture and iPhoto when using the MobileMe galleries with the download option that metadata is lost when photos are downloaded.
This is really incredibly poor design. Thus just encouraging more orphaned photos floating about. Clients download photos and in doing so lose a significant amount of information from the metadata including the copyright box.
Is there a fix coming or something I have missed? MobileMe makes this a one click and incredibly easy but I can't use this with this flaw. I'll have to go with PhotoShelter as delivery system.

Internatinal mobileme galleries?

Hi,
Does iPhoto support any other languages than english for web galeries?
I have tried to change my application settings to french to see if that would help.
I do get french menus for iPhoto but it does not affect the language of the mobileme gallery.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Remove MobileMe Galleries

I demoed a mobileme account for a little and while I was doing that I uploaded some albums from iPhoto to a gallery. In the end I decided I didn't want to keep the account and canceled it. the problem is I canceled it before removing the mobileme galleries in iPhoto and now when I try to delete them from iPhoto I get an error that iPhoto can't connect to mobileme. Any ideas??
Thanks for the help.
