how cr@p is .mac?

[guapagirl]

I can't believe I just spent 70 quid on something which

• doesn't seem to work properly
• doesn't have any telephone support in europe
• was bought online and provided online so I can't take it back and get a refund
• because it only lives in my lovely imac, I don't even have the satisfaction of kicking it out the window or giving it to the dog to chew

all this so-called service has given me is a major headache...not why I bought into apple in the first place

OK, rant over...I feel better for getting it off my chest. I'm gonna do something constructive now like make up to guapaboy for spending two days wages on a pile of $hite

Anything in particular that isn't working for you? I had problems initially with Backup and with my iDisk in general, and still have problems backing up some stuff, but apart from that everything works OK for me (I'm also in the UK) now. I got all the help I needed from the forums there and the techie there was not only very helpful, but very fast at posting responses. I don't have currently have any problems, although it's true that Backup can be choosy about what it will play nicely with.

its such .cr@p that I forgot about it entirely up until I saw this thread. :P

You'd have been better off sending Apple 70 squid in an envelope addressed to Steve Jobs. That's what I did.

Hi Lyra, thanks for the reply. I tried getting on the forums but I couldn't access them for some reoson and yes I was logged in! I was unable to install Backup as I couldn't get a destination other than my harddrive and it wouldn't install there. Also I tried putting some music files into the public folder to see if my friend could access them and although it said it was "finishing up" for an hour , the only way to stop it was to turn my mac off by unplugging it. To top it all the mail won't work as it's in a name I used from a trial I took out when I first got my mac last year and I can't get rid of it and so nothing works and I'm sick off pi$$ing about with it when I SHOULD be getting college work done. God...I'm ranting again...I'm not like this normally ...honesthttp://www.macosx.com/forums/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=0# not sure what I did there...tried inserting a smile...has it worked?
I'm sure most of my problems are a result of being a total novice as regards computers. Liz x
ps cool name are you a pullman fan?

.mac is fine for me. it does exactly what i need. easy access, all required features available. web access for when I travel with a PC. What else would i need ?

[powermac]

I use it on my desktop and laptop, works great. Backup is somewhat temperamental. The other apps work great. Isync is great for me to update my ical appointments between my laptop/desktop. Sorry you are having trouble. Post specifically what is going on and perhaps peeps can help. ???
