MobileMe Finally Online?

Because they A) could refund us for discontinuing the service we paid for or B) transfer us to the new service. The new service includes 20GB, thus by transfering the service to mobileme, we get the 20GB. Thus they are not giving us anything.

Giving us something would be upgrading everyone by another 10GB because of the outage, or refunding us some money (which would be pointless as it would only add up to pennies or a few dollars).

You had 10gb, you are automatically put on a new service with 20gb, so you now have 10gb more... thus they've given you 10gb more than you had before... why can't you see that?
 
Im little worried now. I feel bad that Apple is going through all this and making us wait. I guess they did not expect so many users downloading pre-released iPhone software 2.0 and making Push go crazy.

I hope by 8am its all will be fixed and we'll see a letter from Steve saying that Apple apologizes.:apple:

No but obviously every other web service in the world does and that is how they do it. Any updates to GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo! are rolled out slowly. Those companies NEVER have outages. dotMac has now been down for 24 hours (not to mention the tens of other times this year that dotMac went down for various periods of time).

Yes, .Mac has been down, but so far .Mac email has worked the entire time. In fact, .Me email has been working at the same time. So what's the real loss here?
 
Quote from apple

"With the exception of the MobileMe web apps, all of the following services are now available: Mail, iDisk, Sync, iChat, Back to My Mac, and all published pages including Galleries and iWeb sites.

The MobileMe web apps will be available as soon as possible.

In the meantime, if you need to send and receive mail, please use the desktop email application on your Mac, PC, iPhone or iPod touch."

With all due respect nesl274, I don't get it... it all comes down into these facts:

1) you paid for .Mac -which included 10Gb- because you found it reasonable and worth the money.

2) after using .mac you are now upgraded FOR FREE to the new MobileMe, which includes 20GB of storage.

How come this is not a win-win?

Am I missing anything?
 
Just sent an email to my me.com account from Google. I showed up on the iPhone instantly and then the Mail app connected and dropped my email... but idisk is still not working and can not log into moble me.

Hit on the link a few posts above this one and exactly the opposite of what they say is working ... is working for me. Keep smiling...

Just signed up for MobileMe today, my idisk says 10 GB? what gives?

You're not serious are you? The web interface isn't even online yet. It's been up and down and now it's still down. The upgrade to the storage space won't happen until everything is operational. However I did read on some posts that the storage will upgraded later on, not right away.
 
You really don't need to be fetching the entire page to see if me.com is up or not — wget can just as easily tell you where they're redirecting you to at any given moment:

Code: 
$ wget -O- --max-redirect=0 http://www.me.com/
--2008-07-10 23:02:34--  http://www.me.com/
Resolving www.me.com... 204.2.228.51, 204.2.228.49
Connecting to www.me.com|204.2.228.51|:80... connected.

Incorrect. If I lease a Fiat Uno and the lease company takes it away from me and gives me an Enzo Ferrari for the same price, they have given me something. Similarly, Apple gave .mac users MobileMe and took away .mac.

That is how the English word "give" is used.

It also happens that MobileMe includes more storage and other stuff, so to .mac subscribers the upgrade is essentially a free gift.

Your push is still working? I'm not getting anything pushed to my phone...

At work I can't use IMAP or POP. So I couldn't check my mail all day. It isn't a huge deal but it's inconvenient. The issue I see is that they obviously haven't learned their lessons from dotMac and so they are just going to repeat them with MobileMe. They still haven't learned to be as robust as even the FREE competitors.

Don't they have experienced professionals to help with these migrations? Like I said before GMail, MSN, and a bunch of other free services manage.

That quote from Apple is not entirely accurate. My iDisk is not working and other people have said the same thing.
