you would know because you would have a xxx.xxxx@me.com email address.

It allows you to sync contacts,calendar,email,pictures,video across macbook,iphone,itouch automatically.... change any one of those on iphone or macbook and it syncs the next time the other device is turned on (or if you set it to sync @ certain time frame)

King James · 01-29-2009, 08:55 PM

I think you can from the store on apple website, but alot of times you can get them on amazon for significantly cheaper.

Jim,
I know I have it because I received information on it advising me.
I originally set up a mac.com email address when I bought my computer.
I paid like $89 for the package.
I think it is one and the same.

I have noticed that is I have my laptop open to my email accounts, I access either my bellsouth.net or my mac.com email accounts and work them off my iPhone, any changes seem to immediately sync with my laptop. If I delete an email in my iPhone, it immediately disappears from the laptop also.

I would guess I therefore have it?

Jim,
Just noticed.
When I select my mac.com email account, it says "mobile me" at the bottom.
When I select my bellsouth.net, it doesn't.
Yet, they both interact with my laptop.

Boy do I now know I have MobileMe for sure.

When I first tried to access it via Apple.com, I didn't remember the password.
I didn't consider it to be the same as my "mail" one. Don't know why. That is just me.

When I got on MobileMe, I had to change it as I had to ask as forgot.
When I changed it, I made it different than my mac.com one.

Well, that messed things up and could no longer address emails in my iPhone.
Went back to mobile me and made it the same as my mac.com email account and all is back to normal.

Nice to find out I have things for $99 that I paid for, don't know about and have never used.

it is a very useful thing if you use your contacts/calendar/email on macbook/iphone

My cousin does Tier I and Tier II support for MobileMe at Apple. If you called Apple, you may've spoke to my cousin Abe...

Everything seems to be linked now.
I set the "update" on the laptop preferences to automatic.

All three things are synced, my laptop, my iphone and mobileme.

I tried to upload my photos (7 GB) and it said 47 hours to complete.
After laughing silly, I stopped the process.
