I have been travelling for a while, so largely missed the upheaval surrounding mobile me.
I also bought an iMac yesterday and spent a happy day transfering files, addresses, applications, tunes etc over from my existing Macbook (with reference to the excellent advice on this forum - Thanks)
I seem to be able to access mobileme from both machines by visiting http://www.me.com and logging in with my .mac username and password.
However, when I click on the iDisk icon in the Finder, I get a message:
Your .mac account is not set up. Would you like to open .mac Preferences and set it up now?
When I do this i can see that I am logged in wih my username, and can also see my account details etc.
However. It is not possible for me to use the 'sync' function as all options a greyed out.
Intuitively, it seems to me that I no longer need this functionality as it all appears to be there via mobile me.
THE QUESTION
But if so, why is the iDisk Icon still in my finder. Is it now just an historic artefact, or should I be still be able to use this function?
