Mobile Me closed some time ago (6/30/12), there is nothing to login to.
As was announced on June 6th, 2011, with several follow-up emails over the next year and prominent notices on the website, Apple's MobileMe service was terminated on 1st July 2012, and the limited 'grace period' during which you could download your files has now ended. If you had a MobileMe subscription, and have not migrated your email, contacts and calendars to iCloud and your iDisk contents and Gallery to your computer or another hosting service, then you can no longer do so and the contents of your account have been deleted.
If you have set up iCloud from scratch on a Lion/Mountain Lion Mac or an iOS5 device and want to connect to your iCloud email on pre-Lion systems you may have to set mail up manually:
You may want to note that unlike in MobileMe, which as a paid-for service came with Support, iCloud is a free service and in common with other free email service offers no support unless you currently have AppleCare (as a result of a recent hardware purchase, or extended at a cost) or are prepared to pay for a support session. You may or may not be happy entrusting your email to a service with no support.
Calendars
In order to retrieve your calendars if they have been synced to MobileMe on Lion or Snow Leopard, you will need to follow the following process. Do not sign out of MobileMe: your calendars should still be visible as cached versions even though the server cannot be contacted.
This will place your calendars on your Mac. If you want to sync them with iCloud using Lion, simply enabling Calendars in System Preferences>iCloud should do it. If it doesn't:
You cannot sync calendars on pre-Lion Macs, although for Snow Leopard only there is an unsupported hack which may work.
Contacts
Your contacts will not have been synced under Snow Leopard or earlier, and probably not even if you have Lion. Again, simply enabling them in System Preferences>iCloud on Lion should transfer them but if it doesn't:
You cannot sync your Contacts to iCloud on a pre-Lion Mac.
iDisk and Gallery
If you want equivalent services to iDisk and the MobileMe Gallery you will have to find a third-party solution. These pages examine some options:
Website hosting
Any websites you have hosted on iDisk have now disappeared. You can republish to another hosting service - please see this page:
Syncing error pop-ups
If you have any form of syncing set up you are likely to be plagued with errors as your Mac cannot connect with MobileMe. You should start by going to System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync and turning off all syncing: going to the iDisk pane and turning off iDisk Syncing if it's on; then going to the Account pane and signing out. Note that you should not do this before carrying out the calendar transfer procedure detailed above.
If this does not stop errors popping up, go to (User)/Library/Preferences/ByHost and delete all .plist files beginning with com.apple.DotMacSync, and also any beginning com.apple.idisk, then reboot. (If you are on Lion, note that Apple have hidden the user’s Library folder to casual viewers, in an attempt to stop new Mac users messing their machines up. To access it, in the Finder hold down the Option (Alt) key while clicking on the ‘Go’ menu; the Library folder will appear as a choice.)
