How to cancel a MobileMe trial subscription

Since a few people have asked me, here’s the lowdown on how to cancel a MobileMe subscription within the free 60-days trial period.

  1. Log into MobileMe
  2. Click the Accounts button at the top of the window:
  3. Select “Account Options” from the menu on the left
  4. There you should see a “Cancel Account” button towards the bottom of the window. Click it to cancel your subscription.

Remember: As long as you cancel before the 60 days are up, the trial is completely free. Apple also has more information on canceling in their support article.

But despite all the negative press, I must say the MobileMe webapps look great and feel very desktop-like. I think the service is suffering a bit from “Vista-itis”, so lets hope the initial bad publicity doesn’t doom this product too.

I hope this has helped some of you! If you enjoyed this article – support the site and buy yourself something nice at Amazon.

    Nothing wrong with mobileme, just don’t use it very much. What will happen to my contacts and calenders on my iPhone if I cancel my mobileme account?
    I have a pc and all my contacts and calenders currently sync with outlook.

    I signed up with mobile me as I was setting up a website and it said it would publish it (cutting out the middle man) I bought my domain name seperate and was hoping I would get an option to either enter the domain name and details for my site or at least re-direct the .me site to the .com site.

    It just didnt happen so I have no use for it and definately wouldnt pay £60 for a web site address nobody will ever see…. (as its a .me)

    Ahh well was a fun idea at the time.
