Hi All,

I recently noticed that my mobileme syncs were failing. I went to the mobileme section of System Prefs and saw an error:

An error was returned from the server. Please try again later.

I tried to log in again, and kept getting told that my username or password may be invalid, and that I should try a different name or password. So, I logged into my mobileme account via Safari, same username and pass, and no problems?? (so I'm definitely not making a mistake there).

I do depend on sync'ing iCal with mobileme (so that it goes to my laptop and iPhone), and not being able to even log in on my desktop is very strange (not to mention frustrating). Oh, the same login problems apply to my laptop as well. Both Macs are running OSX 10.5.7.

I can definitively say that my account has not expired (I've got about 8 months left).

Can anyone help me start to solve this problem? (a search at Apple and here didn't pull up any info on mobileme being down or anything).

Many thanks in advance,

Chas

I have the same problem..... I can log in via safari, I can log in on my laptop, my ipod, but on my G5..... no luck.... and I too need it to sync my calendars....

I keep getting the message that my log in is invalid.... I even changed my password thru safari and I still can't log in via system preferences..... and I need to be able to use iSync.

Did you have any luck in fixing it?

Contact MobileMe support. This is probably something simple they can check and fix or help you fix on your end.
