MobileMe Finally Online?

Sweet - thx!

 

It works for me, but it is VERY VERY slow.

 

Anyone been able to validate their credit card in the UK?
It seems it wants the first and last name on the card, but in the UK, it's just a name (e.g. it could be JD Doe or John Doe or J Doe etc)...

 

I can log into MobileMe on the web, but once I log in, it goes straight to my iDisk and I can't log out or click on anything else, like Mail or Address Book. Every time I try to access MobileMe from the System Preferences, it gives me an "Unknown validation error" and says "Your MobileMe member name or password may be invalid. Please enter a different name or password."

So I guess it's not really up and running yet.

 

Same here

I figure it's just going to take some time. This ain't some piddly little corporate update, it's world wide.

 

I can't even get to my calendar. Loads forever. I think they keep putting it up, then we all jump on and beat it to death. Honestly, with mail working, it's probably best just to leave it be until tomorrow.

 

Eeek...

Man this is working slow... and, I can't log in with system preferences, which is how you get it to set up for push, right?

 

mine is up and fully functional.

 

Yea I realized the link I gave is just an interface facelift - no increased functionality as of now.

 

Yeah I keep getting a validation error on my mac even though everything is correct. All my info works on the web but is slow as heck!

 

Oh my God, is this thing slow. I sure hope they have more servers they are bringing online tonight because when the wave of new users start signing up, it's going to get worse. Perhaps they have a lot more people signing up than they expected.

 

Its half working for me.
I get this error sometimes:

 

its working..oops beat me too it

 

Strong language? Did I miss something?

 

glacial

Wow, you talk about SLOOOOOOOOOOW...

Still haven't been able to load any email, though at least this time the little Mail icon showed the number of unread messages. All the other apps work but are much slower than .Mac (i.e., unusable for any serious purpose).

Very disappointing. I can't imagine how much worse it'll be tomorrow when folks get their new iPhone 3Gs.

LOL I remember the external 1200 where (GASP) you had to place a GIANT telephone in a clunky rubber mounts. CRAP I'M OLD

 

It's not working in sytem prefs. I can access it through the website - but it is really really dragging and slow. I guess that is to be expected until it gets up a running properly.

The Address Book bit doesn't work for me yet - it just hangs - but I think that is due to the slowness.

 

It's been up for how long? 5 minutes maybe? give it time, they will fix it

 

wont let me use my credit card for the trial wtf

 

i'm 15 and i have a credit card, but i'm not going to take a chance that i'll forget to cancel the subscription within 60 days, then i'll get charged a hundred bucks. that's just silly. i just want to test it out!

 

PERFECT thanks for that just tried it is working perfectly now apple should really get there their together not working with safari, not with safari 3 or the beta 4

 

Make a note on the MobileMe calendar to cancel it before your 60 days are up.

 

Give it a little time first dude... What do you expect with everyone clambering onto it at once. Sheesh!

 

I don't have firmware 2.0 yet (iPod Touch owner). In Mail, I don't get notifications for new mail unless I manually tell it to get new mail or set it to check mail every so many minutes. Then, when it checks, it pulls them down from the server. I'm definitely not getting push on my Mac right now.

 

VERY dumb question I'm about to ask, I know but I'm a former .Mac member and I can't even log into MobileMe..keeps giving me invalid username or password, so my question is...is the username "username@mac.com, username@me.com, or just username"? Dumb I know.
