I was able before to use Gallery app to view old photos and movies. I can't do it anymore. Get cant refresh message.
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
That's because MobileMe has gone out of existence! Sorry. I also miss it.
Mobile me is dead and gone.
It has been shut down.
As was announced over a year ago, MobileMe closed on 1 July, with a 'grace period' to 1 August when you could still download from your iDisk.
If, as seems the case, you have not done this then everything in your iDisk (including the Gallery) has been deleted: if there are any files you do not also have copies of on your Mac they have been lost. With Gallery you may still have them in iPhoto if you were syncing that to MobileMe. You should sign out of MobileMe in iPhoto and in System Preferences>MobileMe (first stopping any syncing or iDisk syncing you have running).
If you want an online photo gallery you will have to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options:
I missed it to. I've been looking around on these forums and the net this morning and see that some people (most people?) received email notification, but I looked back in all my email accounts, and there's *nothing*!! And it appears to be too late to get a refund.
Luckily I didn't have much on my MobileMe disk, so I didn't lose much, except my money and my ability to sync my calendar on my macbook and my imac.
You haven't lost any money: everyone's account was extended for free from their last renewal date up to the closure of MobileMe in July. The only situation where a refund was due was if you bought a 'retail box' containing an activation code and didn't use it (as you wouldn't have been able to after June 6th 2011).
Thanks - this appears to be correct. I looked back through my old bills and don't see the fee charged this past year.
Now I just gotta figure out how to sign up for iCloud considering my old OS X 10.5.8...
Did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August? If you did, you can set Mail up to access your iCloud email:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
though no other facilities will work.
If you did not migrate your account, you can set up an iCloud by signing in with your @me.com address (which will reactivate the address, though obviously not restore its previous contents) but only on a Lion Mac or an iOS5 device: if you only have access to your Leopard Mac you cannot open a new iCloud account.
Thanks for the tips. Unfortunately I didn't know ahead of time, so I didn't migrate anything. Didn't have much on there luckily - mostly used MobileMe to sync my calendars.
I think I'm going to have to upgrade my operating system on my old mac since the main thing I want to keep doing is syncing my calendars. I don't use mail much. I hoping the upgrade will work and won't cost much - surely it's cheaper than a new computer. I'm off to see what I can find for this option...
