MobileMe Calendar in BETA??? What's up Apple?
I just tried opening my mobileme webmail, and noticed that the Calendar icon has a "beta" label on top of it! (see image) The site doesn't load properly, so I bet Apple is doing *something*
update False alarm? after 10 minutes I checked again and no beta label anymore and the site loads fine.. hmm.. glitch?
MobileMe Find my iPhone works for multiple iPhones too!
I created the same mobileme account on my own and my wife's iPhone, and voila, in the MobileMe "Find my iPhone" there are now two iPhones which can be tracked.
Useful in come ways, I guess (I have a family acct, so each has his/her own MobileMe)
(FWIW: big FAIL for Apple that you cannot have two MobileMe accounts actively syncing on the iPhone)
Apple MobileMe calendar syncing iPhone not quite syncing
We have a MobileMe family account and with the event of iPhone OS3 I thought my wife and I would finally be able to share our calendars. So, I published my calendar on iCal, my wife published hers and we cross-subscribed to eachother's calendar on our iPhones.
However, new events weren't visible for either party. Sucks. And what do you know? According to this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1213 The shared calendars do NOT sync through MobileMe! Which means to get this working computer syncing is a neccessity. Big bummer and fail.
So, since MobileMe family package allows for 5 accounts and we're with 4 people in our family (not counting the cats, who may want an account too..), I thought I'd just set up one central "family" account and use that. Bummer again, the iPhone does NOT allow two active MobileMe accounts and activating one account will remove the other account's calendars on the iPhone.
Dear Apple, please solve this, it's rediculous that if you have a family account you cannot do anything that is really shared and it's even more weird you cannot have more than one MobileMe account on your iPhone!
Macworld Expo 2009 predictions
- lots of crap talk about iTunes, Appstore successes and other sales
- 17" "unibody" MBP is a 99% cert
- New Mac Mini w/new intel CPU and no more Firefire (which would suck)
- no iMac update, these will "silently" be updated after MWSF09 I think,
unless they're going to pitch this as a "first quad core consumer
all-in-one desktop"
- updated iLife and iWork suites and
- improvements on MobileMe (again) for functionality in above suits
- no iPhone Nano (but possibly an iPod Touch Nano!)
- demo of Snow Leopard with a few bigshots in the industry and it'll be
available right after the WWDC09 possibly
I don't think there'll be much iPod/iPhone related stuff, it'll probably
be mostly Mac related. I expect a "special event" by the end of
February, March with more iPhone/iPod announcements.
There, now I am among those geeks that consider themselves important
enough that their predictions actually matter... (no, really)
Mobile me buttons ...
stick, and I get spontaneous reloads of the website for some weirdo
reason.
And funnily enough, the buttons have all gone blank..
Apple, fix this! My subscription is about to expire, but I'm having
serious doubts to extend it with the current problems.. (I probably
will, since I depend on it heavily... Sigh)
