Please, no screaming for help in capital letters. :-) Your ID was probably disabled because you incorrectly entered your password too many times. Use iForgot (http://iforgot.apple.com/) to reset your account. This will restore your access to the disabled services. You can also click the “Reset Password” or “Forgot Password?” buttons that appear in the alert message.

Note: If you are a MobileMe user, when prompted to enter your Apple ID, be sure to type your full MobileMe email address, which is [email protected] (or @mac.com).

Update your MobileMe Settings

After changing your password, you may need to update some settings on your Mac or PC. 

MobileMe Preferences

Mac OS X

  1. From the Apple (?743;) menu, choose System Preferences.
  2. Click MobileMe.
  3. Type your new password and click Sign In.

Windows-based PC

  1. Choose Start > Control Panel.
  2. Double-click MobileMe.
  3. Type in your new password and click Sign In.
