TS4291 Apple Support article TS4291 "Error messages appear when you access MobileMe"

I occationally, seemingly randomly, get the error message, "There was a problem connecting to the server "idisk.mac.com". Contact your system administrator for more information." Plus it allways takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 clicks to close the error message dialog box.
The solution given is, "Your iDisk is unavailable. Make sure you are logged in to your MobileMe account, and then try again to access your iDisk.
But idisk and mobleme no longer exist having been replaced by iCloud. I am logged into ioCloud.
The article was updated Aug. 30, 2012. MobleMe was shute doun June 30, 2012
Any thoughts appreciated. --sb

Something on your Mac is still trying to access a Mobile Me service, find it and then you can fix it.
Examples include: Apple Backup 3, iPhoto, iCal, Address Book, but there may be others.

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

Error message appears when selecting emailed link but there's no problem

I upgraded to Firefox 7.0.1. Now, when I select an emailed link to a website, I always receive a General Failure error message indicating that Firefox can't reach the website. In the meantime, the thin red-light progress line appears and the website comes up fine. Thee error message appears consistently but there's rarely a problem reaching a website. Any suggestions on how to eliminate the error message?

I'm responding to my own post. I checked the error messages more carefully and found that they are Microsoft Outlook generated and not Firefox. This could still be a Firefox problem but I thought I should point this out.

Error message appear when I compile the HelloWorldImp.c in JNI tutorial

I have followed the JNI tutorial to study JNI.
When I followed 'Step 5: Create a Shared Library' to compile the HelloWorldImp.c, following error message appears:
$gcc -g -I/usr/local/java/include -I/usr/local/java/include/solaris \
HelloWorldImp.c -o libhello.so
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../crt1.o: In function `_start':
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18):undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld return 1 exit status
What's the problem?

gcc was trying to link your code into a runnable application. This is the default behaviour. Hence, it was looking for main() which is the entry point in a c/c++ application. By telling gcc to compile a shared library instead, with the -shared option, the linker did not try to produce a runnable program, and hence (that two hence's now, sorry) did not look for the main() function. Therefore (this is getting too formal!), there is no need to provide a main() function in a shared library.

Can't get on to Apple support unsupported browser error message

I am trying to get on to Apple support as when I try and download a movie it saysmpavcontroller error domain error 3 . But I cant get on to Apple support as it says unsupported browser but my iPad software is up to date. Any solutions for both? My software is up to date and I have tried a hard reset but I still get the same error messages.

The first thing that I would try is simply restart your iPad and then try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If no luck, try clearing Safari, close Safari, and reset your iPad and then try again. If that will not allow you to connect, post back with very specific details as to what you are doing.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
In order to close Safari, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to Safari and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

What iOS version are you currently running?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

Error message appears when lesson loads from LMS

After I successfully loaded my first lesson into Syntrio LMS
and launching the lesson for the first time, there are multiple
error messages that appear in a new IE window. At first, the
browser wouldn't load the lesson unless the pop-up blocker was
turned off, but after I turned the pop-up blocker off a new window
would open displaying different errors. It happened at the very
beginning of the lesson after clicking on the "start" button on the
first slide. Then it happened randomly when clicking on other
buttons throughout the lesson, and after every quiz question. I
have copied the errror message that is being displayed.
error=0
error_text=Successful
aicc_data=[core]
STUDENT_NAME=Jarred Grant
STUDENT_ID=400
Lesson_Location=
credit=N
version=3.0
score=0
time=00:00:00
This would display while taking the quiz at the end of the
lesson:
error=0
error_text=Successful
version=2.1
Our tech support at Syntrio said it's an error with the
Captivate settings, but after going through and checking the
reporting options, it seems to be set correctly. If anybody has
encountered this error before, please provide any insight as to
what I am missing here. It is my first time building an eLearning
project so any and all help is greatly appreciated.

jarredg,
The reason you are seeing those new browser windows, is
because your
Captivate content is not hosted in the same domain as your
LMS. There are
security restrictions in the Flash Player that prevent
HTTP-POST from
occuring from a Flash file to [in this case] an LMS that
resides on a
different domain. The issue (and potential solutions) are
described here:

HT201272 Keep getting error #499 when trying to download a song from an album I purchased that failed to download. Error message appears when trying to download from iTunes and the cloud. Re-starting the computer did not help.

I downloaded an album I purhcased a few days ago but one of the album's songs did not download. I received an error message, #499, for which I can get no explanation or interpretation of what error #499 even is (other than generic terms). All my efforts to re-start the download have failed. I've tried several times to download the file to no avail, tried the cloud service to no avail, and re-started the computer to no avail.
My main intention is to, of course, get the download completed. My secondary intention is to, hopefully, bring to the attention of Apple - iTunes staff, the grossly inadequate, dare I say cryptic, error message descriptions iTunes displays.
I can provide the purchase receipt number if it is required.

Hey SDGardella,

Why does this error message appear when opening Ffox?

ent returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFileInputStream.init]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://xdmdownloadmgr/content/overlay.js :: anonymous :: line 110" data: no]
This just started to happen today! Ffox does not open until i click "OK" in box w/error message listed above. This box appears at top left of desktop. A 2-step process that is aggravating.

yup happens on all of the Apple Discussion from my testing.
I think it has to do with the WWDC Apple site redesign. Notice how there are the new grey buttons at the top? But when you go to the Login page you see the old purple and white (which I prefer, but that's another topic). I think that the login page(s?) haven't been updated and that's causing problems.
