I still can't get in, but when I was able to more than 4 hours ago for a brief moment, I noticed all my aliases were gone. I had three, all of them inactive (but need).
I really hope it's just a temporary thing and something that they can work out.
Got a tip for us?

It's not nice to make fun of fairies, especially when they swarm.
Not making fun at all - but after working in IT for many years I must say that I do believe in the F($K-it-up fairies - and I don't have to clap either!
****Please clarify****
I realize it's down now... but how did you change your password if it doesn't allow you to sign in for the first time after establishing the account?

You know tho, this whole MobileMe thing has been flaky from the very start. Even when they first show the MobileMe logo, i just KNEW there were going to be problems. No service has such a retarded looking logo without having an equally retarded service behind it. I'll bet if they changed the logo to something decent looking everything would work magically!
I dont' get it, if it's down on your mac and down on the web interface, what are you syncing to? How do you really know it's syncing?!?!?!
Sorry I'm frustrated.
Traffic patterns right now won't be anything like normal usage or even peak usage. At the moment they'll get a better simulation of real-world traffic through internal testing. Assuming they did load testing and can still use that system, that is. If they're doing tests in production then they're at the ultimate level of "screwed".
No one as Microsoft should be laughing, this is a huge implementation of Exchange related software and Activesync. I'm sure they are praying there are no problems related to that. (From the looks of it, that is unlikely)

I believe "special" is the PC way to put it.... thank you very much.

because i just restored my iphone to factory defaults and on first boot, clicked the Mail icon, and then went through the MobileME setup and i have all of my contacts, bookmarks, mail.. etc...
Unless it's life and death for you, no need to get frustrated.Sorry I'm frustrated.
Life is too short for that.
Wait a while, and it will be up.

No, "iconically challenged" would be more accurate...
Type 'netstat' in to the terminal to show open network connections. If you try sign in using system prefs, you'll see it connects to www.mac.com.https, which is obviously down.
Basically, the system prefs sign-in depends on the web interface. Specifically, the one everybody installed from the link posted before depends on www.mac.com's web interface. Either Apple will redirect mac.com to me.com (better), or they'll fix the MobileMe package and release it properly.
If you change your DNS lookup files to route mac.com to me.com, you may get something out of that SysPrefs sign-in.
I wonder how much trouble is all of us checking every 5 seconds causing and if that complicates things. they put the server online and immediately get blasted with requests from all of us fanboys!!!
Yes, I did a blank restore to factory defaults and did not restore any settings from a backup, no mail, no contacts, no phone settings, nothing. I let the phone come up and say "iPhone Activated" and then i disconnected it, so it never had time to restore contacts or anything. there was no, and still hasn't been, a first sync to iTunes.
It's the weather
I think it's the weather - what else. When they were using .mac, it was based on a server on land. Now, they're using the cloud and they're having hurricane speed winds which they cannot control. When you start dealing with clouds, you never know what's going to happen.
While I wait, I'll be here playing bloons pack 4!
