Not to mention that even if you own an iPhone or an iPod Touch, but is not willing to fork out your hard earned money for features you do not need, you might as well as dump MobileMe too.</p><p>To remove MobileMe from your Windows, just simply navigate to your control panel, Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall <b>Apple Mobile Device Support</b>. MobileMe should not be in sight anymore after you have do so. I don&#8217;t know why Apple would assume all iTune users are iPod or iPhone owners. Will it be people at Apple thinks that no one will ever use iTunes unless he&#8217;s an iPod or iPhone owner because he have no choice? They should have boost their confidence a little then.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> Only uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support if you are not using iTunes for your iPod. iTunes will not be able to detect your iPod after you uninstall the mentioned.</p><p><small>©2011 <a href="http://www.sheeptech.com/">SheepTech</a></small><br/><br/><a href="http://www.sheeptech.com/how-to-remove-mobileme-from-windows">How To Remove MobileMe from Windows</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.sheeptech.com/how-to-remove-mobileme-from-windows/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>17</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Apple Secretly Installs MobileMe in iTunes Update</title><link>http://www.sheeptech.com/apple-secretly-installs-mobileme-in-itunes-update</link> <comments>http://www.sheeptech.com/apple-secretly-installs-mobileme-in-itunes-update#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:21:35 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Vincent</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Tech News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Apple]]></category> <category><![CDATA[iTunes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[MobileMe]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.sheeptech.com/apple-secretly-installs-mobileme-in-itunes-update</guid> <description><![CDATA[In the most recent update for iTunes, Apple has secretly included installation for MobileMe, a paid service specially for iPod Touch and iPhone owners.

I have been using iTunes for two years and I do NOT own any iPhone or iPod Touch and MobileMe is definitely NOT going to have anything to do with me. I just like the phrase &#8220;Apple is installing commercial product without the user realizing it&#8221;.</p><p><img style="max-width: 800px;" src="http://www.sheeptech.com/images/2008/07/mobileme-cp.png" /></p><p>You can have a look under <em>Network and Internet</em> in your control panel if you&#8217;re running on Windows Vista. You will see how the beautiful icon is being forced to sit there. Apple just doesn&#8217;t seem to understand what is a software update. First they include the entire Safari browser, now a  MobileMe. What&#8217;s next? Installing the entire Apple website locally so that you can view them offline?</p><p><small>©2011 <a href="http://www.sheeptech.com/">SheepTech</a></small><br/><br/><a href="http://www.sheeptech.com/apple-secretly-installs-mobileme-in-itunes-update">Apple Secretly Installs MobileMe in iTunes Update</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.sheeptech.com/apple-secretly-installs-mobileme-in-itunes-update/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
