MobileMe Finally Online?

KOOL AID slurping fanbois will have great trouble selling anymore of their "be patient / its' in transition / they never promised......" BS about Apple's dismal performance on this complex launch.

MM is down or slow as a snail - can't even get into my account page.

BTW - for clarity - it will be fixed - but this poor launch could of and should of been avoided.
 
Ah its looks awesome!

This is going to be so nice to have. Can't wait for them to get rid of bugs. Its not in anyones control. I hate being a mac fan when it seems most of them are pretty much whiney babies. SERIOUSLY crybabies.

FYI I did see that you still have the option to use your @mac.com or @me.com in the preferences on MM for the mail. Thats nice...
 
Well the Push Calendar and contact functions are working fine for me. It is synchronizing it perfectly and very quickly too. It looks like the Mail Web App isn't updating properly though.,

Still very nice though, very clean interface

Just a brief note to say:

Tried for 24h to get into MobileMe but kept getting the invalid username/password error message.

I had tried changing password many times, but always to the same as the original.

Then I changed the password to a new one (i.e. different from previous).

THIS WORKED STRAIGHT AWAY! Thanks to all in this thread who suggested this.

Good Luck!

(Now to bide my time until I try and install the official 2.0 firmware, praying that I didn't mash up the phone with yesterday's unofficial 2.0 firmware! Any suggestions on when to try it?!)

THANK YOU! Finally I can log on to the web portal :D
 
Help!

In a moment of madness some months ago I trashed imail. Now I'm signed up to MobileMe I really need it again. I've looked. But can't seem to find it anywhere. Any ideas? I'm running 10.4.11. I'm not sure my imac can handle the upgrade to Leopard, its running super slow as it is. :(

Apple is hiring, maybe you can teach them something.

Just got off the phone with Apple support. MobileMe is not working, or at least not working properly. For those that are able to login and work with the web apps, good luck. Now I'm on the phone waiting for iPhone support, but the messages indicate this wait is going to be a long one.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... this is an absolute failure for Apple. People can stop with the "it's still in a transitional period" or the "there were no promises made by Apple on when it would be working" junk. MobileMe doesn't work, and it's very clear that Apple can't keep it working, in a stable manner, for any great period of time. It might work properly sometime in the future, but it doesn't work now like it is supposed to.

Add to that the warnings that updating the iPhone might lead to disaster remind me of the launch one year ago. What a mess. What a joke.

There are warnings and news articles popping up in several locations that already blast Apple for this fiasco. They apparently didn't learn anything from last year, it seems.

Honestly can you wait until say Monday? What is it you need so bad that it cant wait? Was your current iPhone (if you had one) broken in some way? If you got a new iPhone, did you have to have it today?

Like anything else new and popular, in this world the "got to have it now" are going to whine every time with out fail. I dont care if its a new movie and people are lining up for it on day one, they will complain.

Honestly did you think it was going to be anything but a madhouse at the stores, on the phones, or on their web sites today? If not you have to be completely clueless.

I have an iPhone/.Mac account and I want the updates, but you know for my sanity, and the continuity of my current service, I will just sit here, drink a beer and watch you people go mad.

I bet when I do try Sunday/Monday I will have much fewer problems. Best of luck, I hope you have fun waiting on the phone.

push contacts

I have been getting my contacts 'pushed' from Mobile me to the iPhone, but what about contacts created on the iPhone. They don't seem to be pushed back to mobile me?!

Help please?

if you still have your install disk, i think you can restore apps from that. see this apple support page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1561

EDIT: i think this may be more what you are looking for: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1442?viewlocale=en_US
 
Something I find an issue with on MobileMe is if you want to attach a file to an email, or maybe add a new photo to your gallery you can only upload files to attach which I find a real strange design flaw.. why can't you also go into your iDisk and choose to pull files from there? I find this quite bizarre.

this caused all my contacts and calendar entries on my iphone to be completely wiped..... 3 times :mad:
 
I finally got into Me.com, but nothing really works. I can't click on a function (address book, calendar, etc) and have it load. I have to right click and select Open in Tab for it to show. In the Calendar I can't click the + to add a new item. Nothing really seems to work except the push email.

this is really weird...MobileMe..has worked for me for a couple of hours now...all functions work, I love the photo gallery...it's slow, but not turtle slow..I can sync everything I just need my new iphone 3g, heading out to get it now!!! I hope the 5th Ave. store still have some!!

What were you thinking of? Anyway, I'm not sure you can do it from the install disks without installing the whole caboodle, but there is a utility you can download called Pacifist which allows you to select discrete bundles from an install disk and only install them. Well you could try it at least.
 
when am I going to be able to download the update that will bring the mobileme icons onto my computer? Any word on that?
 
I don't want to go through the process of notifying folks I have a new email address (mostly cause they're lazy and probably won't change it). Would you say forwarding mail from my gmail account to MobileMe is a good solution? It's all about push for me.

Thinking? Yes note to self: Think more. Think different. Damn. (slap to the face). Nope no install disk either! Bugger. Push and phone and everthing (bar mail) else is working like a dream here in London.
Thanks Though

anyone else?
