MobileMe: Did Apple Bite Off More Than It Can Chew?

Posted 07/15/2008 at 5:04pm | by Carol Pinchefsky

Lisa Hoover, a social media consultant, spends most of her working day shuttling between her seven computers: her Linux boxes, PCs, and a Mac. She can find cross-platform programs to synchronize her disparate information, for example, the Google Calendar application can manage her schedule. But until July 11, there was no single service to tie her work life together. But now there’s MobileMe.

Apple’s MobileMe provides instant synchronization between multiple devices and computers. With MobileMe, you can schedule a weekend lunch date on your iPhone, and within moments, the calendar on your home computer mirrors the appointment. It’s a brilliant concept, to streamline the lives of those of you who keep your eggs in many baskets.

At least it would be, had it worked.

With its formal activation yesterday, MobileMe customers are still having some problems accessing the service. The problems began when the downtime for the transition between .Mac to MobileMe, ending at 2AM Thursday. Access for many customers however, is still not fully functional.

Apple acknowledged the problems by posting a status update, it said:

“Transition is underway,” it is “taking longer than expected.” Although some features are said to be working like:

-Sync

-iDisk

-Back to my Mac

The service is not yet open to new users.

Mobile Me… Finally

The transition from .Mac to the new MobileMe service was initially set to take place on Wednesday, July 9 between 6 p.m. and Midnight, then it got pushed back a little further. Apple stated that the move would be complete by 2 a.m. Thursday morning. But many subscribers still could not access either .Mac or me.com all day Thursday. Frustrated is a mild term that can be used to describe denied .Mac users.

After a full day of being re-directed to the Apple.com/MobileMe page, members can now log-in to MobileMe to check email, iCal, and such. The site is slow and some features remain elusive. Apple has posted a statement on its support page addressing this:

Some MobileMe members may be unable to access groups.mac.com. Service will be restored ASAP. We apologize for any inconvenience.

MobileMe members cannot access the HomePage application. Service will be restored ASAP. We apologize for any inconvenience.

MobileMe Pops Out of the Cloud

Apple has released MobileMe to the delight of many a .Mac member.

Well, almost released. Not everyone has had success signing on to the system. But like the rest of today's releases, all you need is just a little patience.

The new $99 a year service, replaces the aging .Mac service that many considered overpriced and underpowered. The new service adds push email, contacts, calendars and web galleries. The service will sync Macs, iPhones and Wi-Fi connected iPod touches using the "Cloud."

Apple also introduced a new email domain with MobileMe. Users can finally embrace their inner narcissist with an @me.com email address.

Current .Mac users are automatically upgraded and will keep their @mac.com email adresses until they decide to change it out with an @me.com account.

Adios .Mac

Apple has placed the official "This service is temporarily unavailable." on the www.mac.com site.

We're still receiving emails at our .Mac email accounts and our @me.com email account has been live since last week.

It's only a matter of time now. Bring on MobileMe!

MobileMe Email Address is Live

A quick check of my new MobileMe email account, shows that I'm receiving email with xxxxxxx@me.com as the destination.

The smtp.me.com service doesn't seem to be working as of yet, so I just threw in the smtp.mac.com info and whammo, I'm emailing with my swanky new, yet slightly narcissistic, email address.

Since the email account hasn't officially launched, Apple could still take the account offline until the official launch.

The service will set you back $99 annually and can be accessed at www.me.com.
