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)

that is in invalid accout, it bounced back to me.

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

www.apple.com
Search around in there and you can find out all you need to know about mobile me.

$69 on amazon right now. I think it is $90 from Apple. I've seen it as low as I believe $49 on amazon

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?

[Blueface]

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.

.mac is sort of like the old version of mobileme. If you use the Mail application on your macbook (stamp icon) then it should sync regardless so hard to tell if you have all the features of mobileme. If you have it, then definitely set it up (you have to do it on both your macbook and iphone but is sort of hard to type up and explain if you aren't sure how to do it). You would see a cloud icon somewhere that said "mobileme"

If you need/want help I can try to help figure it out on the phone, just shoot me a PM





EDIT: are you sure it is activated on both iphone and macbook? You should get a prompt when it syncs and any pictures you take on your phone would come into iphoto and contacts/calendar stuff would sync as well.

Are you nuts?
Are you kidding me?
I just figured out how to turn my iPhone on.

Jim,
What I bought a year ago is "iDisk".
When you index that in Apple's website, you get "MobileMe".
I recall the email being about a change in name.
I must have it, just need to finish setting it up I guess?
Will call Apple at 10.

Just went on MobileMe on Apple and asked for an email as forgot my password, using my mac.com id.
It worked.
Got the email to go back and log on.

[Blueface]

Got into MobileMe so I do have it.

I see my email, contacts, etc.

NOW WHAT???

Looks like my mail is just the way I see it in my regular inbox.
It is all the same.

Other stuff not backed up.

[King James]

hop on your iphone.

go settings>mail,contacts,calendars>add account>mobileme and then put in your info. I believe you set up what syncs on your actually macbook.

login @ www.me.com from your macbook

When I did that on my iphone, it says "The MobileMe account is already configured.

I think it is due to my mac.com email address.

The www.me.com is where I was just at viewing my current emails, just the same as they are on my iphone and macbook.

Just noticed that if I select a photo on my iphoto and go to share, it allows the option of "mobileme".

I think it is all set as is. I just don't use it to back up or rely on it as didn't know it well enough.
Will take the tutorials later tonight.
