Why does logging into MobileMe fail from imac

For some reason, the mail application on my iMac fails to log into my MobileMe/iCloud email account. It only affects one of my account, the other two work flawlessly. I am able to access this same email account from Safari and my smartphone. What gives?!?! I deleted the mail account and re-added it, I checked the various email/firewall settings... this is really ******* me off! Will someone please provide some help and/or incite? Thank you advance.

I think I may have found the issue: I am running 10.6, so MobileMe is still the 'program' that it tries to access and, apparently, the default settings are no longer valid. After deleting the the account, I attempted to add the account again, which of course failed. I hit 'continue' at the bottom of the page after the fail and went to the next page which had a drop down menu with the following choices: MobileMe, POP, IMAP, etc. Changing from the default MobileMe to IMAP did the trick.

I can log into iTunes on my iMac but it won accept the ID and PW on the Apple TV, why?'t

I'm new to this also. I can log into iTunes on my imac but the same ID and PW will not allow me to get on through Apple TV. Why?

It's a straightforward port-forwarding issue.
You need to forward ports to the internal ip address of your apple tv as follows:
TCP 123
TCP 3689
UDP 5353
TCP 80
TCP 4343
TCP 53
This may also solve other problems you may have with homesharing...

Logging into ULOG failed

Hi,
We are using a eLink1.2 product on Windows 2000 OS. A DLL with following extract has been compiled and registered.
ELATRACE(gmsgLevel, 9, ("ESeLinkSynch DLL: Test for <%d> trace level", nTraceLevel));
When the DLL is invoked, the text contents are logged into ULOG. It has been noticed sometimes in production that logging into ULOG fails due to some reason. The Logging stops till the new ULOG file is generated ( at 0000 Hrs on next day ). We notice the following error in stderr file:
GP_CAT:209: ERROR: Write error 9, file C:\TUX\ULOG.021506
Any idea why this happens/how to stop/how to debug on this issue ?
Thanks,
Suresh

Suresh,
In older releases of Tuxedo, Tuxedo did not close and reopen the ULOG file
following a write failure. This problem often caused the logging to
continue to fail until a new log file was opened after midnight.
This problem was fixed in Tuxedo 6.5 Rolling Patch 334 and in Tuxedo 6.4
Rolling Patch 110, and the problem does not occur in Tuxedo 7.1 and above.
If you are running Tuxedo 6.5 or 6.4 at an earlier patch level than the ones
listed, please obtain the latest rolling patch from support.

IWeb hanging at logging into MobileMe (Personal Domain Problem)

I've searched and searched for an answer to my problem all over the internet and these forums and keep coming up blank.
Apologies if the answer is somewhere and I've missed it.
It could be a wider problem with my MobileMe, but iWeb is where it first occurred.
I recently had my personal website forwarding to my MobileMe site, and was using the MobileMe webspace to host my site. I had set my personal domain (in MobileMe) to the personal website. Why I did this I'm not sure, as I wasn't actually using the external webspace, merely forwarding it to my MobileMe site.
However I then decided I wanted to create a new site and this is where the problems began to occur. When I tried to publish the new site, it seemingly tried to publish to personaldomain/new_website name/ which obviously didn't exist as there was no external webspace there.
I then decided to reset everything, get rid of the personal domain setting within MobileMe and just merely forward my external web addresses to my Me sites. Upon deleting my Personal Domain from the mobileme settings page and logging into iWeb, the website name next to my username was still my external website address, and iWeb seemed to think it was all still published (which it was, as when I went to my web.me.com/etc, my website was there) However I wanted to start from scratch and republish everything, so I deleted all the web/sites section from my idisk, and hoped I could republish everything (this could have been a mistake!)
Now when I try to publish, iWeb just hangs at logging into MobileMe and won't publish anything. iPhoto also won't upload new photo albums and neither will aperture. They just hang at syncing galleries.
I'm completely at a loss as to how to proceed. I've deleted preferences from iweb and also logged out of mobileme, put a fake name in and logged back in again (to clear the cache I think) and still iweb hangs. I've even tried creating a new user account and logging in there and still it hangs.
Apologies for the essay of a post, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Just some suggestions as to where to go would be helpful. I'm wondering if it's something to do with Keychains? I had a brief look in there but it all went over my head. This is the first problem I've ever had with my new mac, and being from a PC background, don't really know where to look to fix things.
Thanks in advance to people who even get through reading the entire post!

If stephen's suggestion doesn't help you might consider the following:

After waiting a day for the rolling restore to happen, I called AppleCare because Apple had sent an email saying my service was back, and it wasn't. I still could send and not receive using Mail.
Here is what fixed it. Go to MobileMe (terrible name) in System Preferences, log out. Then enter a garbage name and password and try to log in. This apparently clears the MobileMe preferences. Then enter your real UserName and PassWord. For me this was lights on.
I am left wondering how long ago I could have had email had I known this preference reset scheme.
Although for a different MMe issue it will clear out the MMe login info so you can enter everything anew and give it a fresh start.

Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

Why does my computer keep disconnecting from my wifi?

Some users with various Wi-Fi problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Networkpreference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot and recreate the network settings.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 3
Reset the PRAM.

IWeb says I'm not logged into MobileMe when I am...?

I'm trying to publish my site from iWeb but the Site Publishing Setting's page keeps saying I'm not logged into Mobileme - and I am. I've restarted, checked for updates, downloaded the updated iWeb. Thanks for any insight!

Try this:
go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
login with your correct username and password, launch iWeb and try again.

Logging into MobileMe using my icloud account

I bought a used macpro 2008 and need to access my ical. It only has mobileme and says that my username/password is wrong. How do I log into my icloud from here or is it possible?

MobileMe feature is No more available and supported by Apple and to use your iCloud Account and sync your Calendar on Mac you need to have Mac Os x Lion (10.7.5 or Later).
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
But you can try to login to http://www.icloud.com/ using Safari Browser and try to access your Calendar from there.

Having Trouble Logging into My Account from platform

I am able to log into my account from the web (so I could get to forums). However, when I try to log in from the Elements 10 application, I enter the same login information and a dialog box says "signing in" with a "barber-pole" type action bar running. It stays like this forever. I cannot close out of the application. The only resolve I have found is to close down my computer and "force stop" Adobe, so I can reboot. Am I doing something wrong?

When you log in from the web you are logging into Adobe Revel these days. PSE 10 understands nothing about Revel, which didn't exist when it was created. If you want to use Revel now that photoshop.com is gone, you must use a web browser, or, if you have a Mac, the free app from the App Store, not PSE 10 itself.

Sure your inserting the headset into the Headphone Out port and not the In port..?
Also what headset....?
Most PC based headset with built in mic's will not work without using a device like the Griffin iMic.

Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

Why does Firefox 'remember' a login from my last session when, on both occasions, I was using "Private Browsing"? How do I stop this (without clearing other data)?

Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.
(Firefox -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> [ ] Use hardware acceleration when available)

I cant log into the icloud from my laptop. Vista 2.1.3

Can some one finally help me out there!
I cant log into the icloud from my laptop. Its running Vista 32bit, with service pack 2. The icloud is 2.1.3 for vista.
I enter the log in details and password, and then the 'daisy wheel' comes up, and that's as far as it goes!!
I know the log in details are all correct as I use itunes match on ipad and iphone. I can also share photos between iphone and ipad without an issue.
The Apple store weren't any help (Bath) as its not a Apple laptop!!
Fingers crossed you can help!!

You may be to late to start - new android phones have the same protection and by June next year all of them will. Best of luck. If you really apple customer you can find your original receipt and or request a copy and use it as proof to unlock phone. If you didn't purchase from Apple, you still have option to attempt
to look through your icloud accounts and verify that neither one is the one that you need. And if it is not your account and you didn't purchase directly from Apple then you are the victim of Apple's attempt to render stolen/lost phones useless, to bring down theft. Question if you deserve it is besides the point, but at the very least you should have learned to manage your apple/icloud id by now being a loyal apple customer you are...
