Thanks Ronni, I am still wading through your suggestions. I updated .Mac to MobileMe as soon as the change was made but there still some of the old files I have had up for a long time will only respond to mac.com, I tried changing a couple of URL from mac.com to me.com but they fail to load.
I am presently dealing with some medical treats that are disrupting my computer quality time but I will post again when I have been able to look at all possibilities you suggest.
