Why are MobileMe users being forced to switch to iCloud?

Add me to the list of MobileMe subscribers who are not happy about the chance to iCloud. I was very happy with MobileMe. I'd much rather pay for a good product vs. being forced to use an inferior free product. I back up all my work data to MobileMe/iDisk and I am concerned that it will not be transferred and that I may run into problems in the future. A previous post that I just read said that data will not be transferred. Is this true?? Also why are photos and videos not being transferred? Can they at least be manually reloaded?

Apple have decided to terminate MobileMe - they did give a year's warning of this - eleven months ago.
iCloud does not provide general file storage of much in thue way of a Gallery; you will need to download any files which you do not already have on your Mac before the end of June.
If you want to continue with online storage and galleries you will have to find a third-party alternative. These pages examine some options:

SnippetPreview$.htm - Why are these not being deleted?

I have the following files in my project folder:
SnippetPreview$.htm
SnippetPreview1$.htm
SnippetPreview2$.htm
SnippetPreview3$.htm
SnippetPreview4$.htm
I noticed them because they are not in Visual SourceSafe so they appear when I go to add files to VSS when I create new snippets. They contain the text of snippets I've created.
I know they are harmless, but why are they not being automatically deleted from RH when no longer needed?
Is this a setting or preference I can set?

Sometimes temporary files are left behind. These are just files created on previewing a snippet and like any other temporary files are not deleted. Just delete them.

Why are my messages being sent through email rather than iMessage?

Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

Why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

why are my podcasts being deleted from my iPhone every time I sync them?

I also have this problem though it only seems to affect my iPod Nano (6th gen). It does not seem to affect my iPhone (though now as I type this, I better confirm that as I haven't manually managed podcasts on my iPhone since the last iTunes updates). I have iTunes set to "manually manage music and videos" (just like OP, I'd rather manage music and videos myself rather than construct playlists and have iTunes sync them), and under the "Podcasts" tab on my nano, I do not have "Sync Podcasts" checked.
Is this something that has occurred since the last iTunes update?

I had a MobileMe account and when Apple switched to iCloud I now have two mail accounts: @mac and @me. Additionally my folders in iCloud not longer show up in my Mail program. How do I return to one account and see my folders on my mac?

I went to Notes. Showed all notes. Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud. I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed. It did. I deleted the other two notes. I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts. The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account. The warning comes up: This will delete all IMAP notes on your device. Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?

Rebooting your iDevice
Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The device should begin to start up.
Now try entering the information again. See if it works now.

What is the story on mac vulnerability? Is it serious or not serious? If not serious, why is this not being explained? If serious, why are Mac users not being informed of the risk?

what is the story on mac vulnerability? Is it serious or not serious?
If serious, why are we not kept informed
If not serious, why is some much anxiety being created?

IMO, it is being greatly over-blown in the media and online.
Man in the middle attacks require the hacker to be connected to the same intranet network that your device is. Even if they are, unless you go to a secure site and use personal data (like passcodes) they get nothing from stealing your data stream.
If you are at your home, on your own secured intranet, then you really have virtually nothing to fear (as long as your own home network is secured and not wide open to anybody within range). If you routinely use a VPN connection when on public wifi, again, you are fine. Or if you use FireFox, Chrome or another browser that implements its own SSL security, then you are fine.
The fact is, that even for those in a particular situation that is vulnerable to such an attack, most are not actually under any such attack - it is not nearly as rampant as the recent hype would have it seem to be.

Why are my song being cut off, not all just some?

Some of my songs that I bought on itunes are being cut off when there is about 30 seconds left to the song, both on my iphone and my macbook. I dont know why this is happening. any help would be grealty appreciated.

Are the episodes being shortened when you publish to a local folder and launch them in the browser as well as when published to the server? See this page under "Troubleshooting"...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/iWeb-Tips.html
If the local files are OK it would suggest the problem is on the server. Otherwise you need to troubleshoot iWeb.
If the problem is files that are too large, you can reduce the sampling rate and/or convert to mono if the content is mostly speech rather than music.

Why are deleted user accounts showing up in login window and fast user switching menu?

There are several old user accounts, just test accounts when I was studying for ACSA that I deleted, which continue to show up in the login window and the fast user switcher menu. I deleted them before upgrading to Lion (I think it was before). The accounts do not exsist in the /Users folder, nor even the /Users/Deleated Users folder. Additionally they do not show up in the list of users in System Preferences. Can anyone give some advice on how to remove these "ghost" accounts from the login window and drop down menu?
Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the link. Sorry it took me a while to get to this, the problem is not a show stopper, so to speak, so tried your advice when I had the time. Unfortunatly it did not work. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Is there anyway to get your iPhone 5 replaced if it is under warranty, and you are being forced to switch carriers through no fault of your own?

My wife and I both have 64GB iphone 5. I am military and we had to move to a new town. Our service is with AT&T. They called us to tell us we were off network, and we could not use any of the data we pay for every month. And they have the option to terminate our contract at any time. So my question is, if this happens does anyone know if carriers, or apple will switch out your phone, or do we have to buy new ones.

Afraid you will have to buy new phones. Neither Apple nor any carrier I've ever had has considered that sort of thing a condition to replace your devices (AT&T and others have let people out of their contracts without penalty because of moving though).
Before you leave AT&T, ask them to unlock your phones. Then, you may be able to use them with T-Mobile - although T-Mobile is not fully compatable with all iPhone features yet, their service may be an option until you are ready to buy new devices. Also, your iPhone 5's would likely still get you a decent return if you sold them, or just used something like Gazelle (Gazelle's web site just came up with an offer of $380 for 32GB iPhone 5, factory unlocked in flawless condition - $400 for your 64GB devices with the same conditions).
So, you should be able to get enough for your iPhone 5's to pay the subsidized new contract cost of new iPhones with Verizon or Sprint.

Why are random spaces being inserted in text on Acrobat Pro 9?

My apologies if this has been asked & answered before. I did try and search and found some information but I still do not understand the complete picture.
I am a relatively new user to Acrobat and used 7 prior to upgrading to Pro 9 recently. I am using it for basic functions only at this point, combining multiple word (Microsoft Word 2003) documents from various authors. Since upgrading to 9 I have come across a few instances where there were random spaces inserted in the PDF document. These spaces are usually between words or in the middle of words and can be just one or two spaces or 10+ spaces. After doing some research I think I figured out that these spaces occurred after I had used the Touch Up Text tool to fix a small mistake (likely spelling). After more research I went into the Change Conversion settings option in Word and removed all of the fonts listed in the 'Never Embed' section of the Fonts tab under advanced settings. This seemed to solve the problem for a while but now it is occurring again.
So, my questions are:
1. Can someone explain to me if my research is correct and using the Touch Up Text tool is what caused the spaces in the first place?
2. What can I do to ensure that this does not continue to happen while still being able to use the Touch Up Text tool occassionally?
3. Is there something I am missing? (Highly likely given my lack of experience with Acrobat!)
I truly appreciate any insight that can be offered. Unfortunately I cannot offer any examples to show you what is happening as I work in a legal environment and I have yet to be able to re-create the issue with something not sensitive.

There is really nothing like a space in an Acrobat pdf file. Each letter is positioned on the page according to the Acrobat language specification (similar to the postscript language). When you edit a pdf file anything can happen. I've seen changing one letter completely screw several lines of text (except for the fact that a line of text is not a pdf concept either). The best recommendation is to edit the original documents---not the pdf file. Sometimes it cannot be helped. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. There are no workarounds for changes that occur when you edit the text in a pdf file.

WHY are Firefox users NOT "allowed" to "uninstall" "plug-ins" ????

Firefox simply has to make it possible for it's users to delete/remove/UNINSTALL UNWANTED PLUG-INS !!! WHY has this NEVER been a default option ???? I just don't understand.I found a page on how to "manually" delete plug-ins BUT...guess what ??? I ended up really screwing things up.Trying to manually delete the plug-ins that I wanted to do so with,I just randomly typed letters on my keyboard to rename the files and I did NOT write down what I has renamed these entries.
Well,the instructions for doing this were not written very well and the "uninstall" did NOT take !! I even went as far as to uninstall and reinstall the entire program (Firefox) (thinking that maybe a fresh install would give me just the default plug-ins/extensions that Firefox comes with when a person downloads Firefox for the first time) TO NO AVAIL !! PLEASE....is there ANY way that you can help me with this ???

Some plugins like Flash come as only a plugin.
*C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
Other like the RealPlayer that you mentioned and Java come as applications that are installed as a program and add registry keys to make Firefox find the plugin.<br /><br />
Some try to install their plugin directly in a Firefox plugins folder that can reside in different locations (program folder, current profile folder, and its parent profile folder: Mozilla\plugins).<br />
The pluginreg.dat file referenced about will always have the full path of each plugin.<br />
