I don't mean to sound overly negative, but delays in getting MobileMe up and running, the unreliable nature of the revised service over two days, the up/down nature of the iPhone/iPod touch software (some users upgraded, then found iTunes changed its mind and downgraded them again later), iTunes 7.7 causing some severe issues,and now news of iPhone users facing problems, including bricked devices, all mean Apple has a disastrous couple of days. It won't help their reputation in terms of their software and services, in particular. Here's hoping things get back to normal very quickly!

I got in to .me but you can't edit the .mac web sites and you can't start up a new gallery. In fact, the site froze on me.

All the new phones trying to get activated, all the users trying to upgrade, and the launch of .me ---- did some one really have a brain when they decided to launch all this on the same day?

I'll wait a few days before trying again.

Today, I received an apologetic E-Mail from Apple:

Quote:
We have recently completed the transition from .Mac to MobileMe. Unfortunately, it was a lot rockier than we had hoped.

Although core services such as Mail, iDisk, Sync, Back to My Mac, and Gallery went relatively smoothly, the new MobileMe web applications had lots of problems initially. Fortunately we have worked through those problems and the web apps are now up and running.

Another snag we have run into is our use of the word "push" in describing everything under the MobileMe umbrella. While all email, contact or calendar changes on the iPhone and the web apps are immediately synced to and from the MobileMe "cloud," changes made on a PC or Mac take up to 15 minutes to sync with the cloud and your other devices. So even though things are indeed instantly pushed to and from your iPhone and the web apps today, we are going to stop using the word "push" until it is near-instant on PCs and Macs, too.

We want to apologize to our loyal customers and express our appreciation for their patience by giving all current subscribers an automatic 30-day extension to their MobileMe subscription free of charge. Your extension will be reflected in your account settings within the next few weeks.

We hope you enjoy your new suite of web applications at me.com, in addition to keeping your iPhone and iPod touch wirelessly in sync with these new web applications and your Mac or PC.

Thank you,
The MobileMe Team
A 30 day extension seems a decent gesture, as MobileMe now seems to be running well most of the time for me.

Did you Junk email filter block it? Is the Mobile Me System Preference pane getting your .Mac Mobile Me info?
