Bah, the trial only accepts Visa / Mastercard / Amex so can't get on it.

Is there any other way to get MobileMe other than buying the box and waiting a month for delivery via the Apple store?

Buy the code of eBay for £45 a year.

I did that with my .Mac.

Just signed up for the trial about 30 mins ago, but still can't sign in on the website - says my details are incorrect (even though they aren't). It does work through my .mac icon on system pref's though. Annoying.

Aha, thank you. Just bought a code off the bay for £44.

Nice little saving.

Just put in a new appointment in calender in the web app, i thought it was suppose to update the ical on the mac instantly? It's been over 5 minutes and still nothing new on my ical.

All very flaky here. Anyone managed to make it create their email account in Mail? Had to do it manually.

MichaelHo · 12 Jul 2008 at 19:35

I've managed to set up email automatically, sent a test email from the account and all works well.

GraemeUK · 12 Jul 2008 at 19:43

I can't even log in to the web based account for some mad reason.

How did you make it do that?

The web interface is now working like an absolute dream for me

It's also loading Mail instead of iDisk first which is better...things are looking up!

Ol!ver · 12 Jul 2008 at 20:20

Oh dear, just set an event in iCal for the 13th and it's showing as the 12th in the webapp.

New iDisk icon is pretty cool:

Pretty gay more like it.

Oi, I like it

There's another MobileMe update (1.1) on Software Update, doesn't seem like it's fixed anything, though.

is there anway to sync standard pop3 accounts with the mobileme setup? it would be great if i could have the same awesome push functionality with my work email?

b0rn2sk8 · 13 Jul 2008 at 03:50

you can sync you mail account settings to your ipod through mobile me/itunes i think, but you have to download the mail manually / time period based unless you get your work email to auto forward to your mobile me email box, then it will get pushed down.

Vey strange that i dont get an idisk icon on my desktop, but i got all the push stuff woking great on my ipod and mac, its semi working on my PC but i think i might take it off there as i dont need it. My MBP is useually parked next to my PC if im on it!

If you want the icon on your Desktop, go to a Finder window then at the top Finder > Preferences and tick the Connected Servers box to show it on the desktop

Click File > Add Account
You won't see the set up account automatically right away, it only comes when you enter your @me.com email address. Then let it do it's thing.

My idisk icon doesn't look like that, it's just the normal blue globe type thing. Don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing lol considering the new icon is bit girly!

Fillado · 13 Jul 2008 at 12:48

So much for MobileMe being Push :rolleyes:

Everything works perfectly for me.

Delete an email from my iPhone, boom, it's gone from my Mac immediately.

Mine came up after a restart.
