I tried to connect to check mine and the server is down!

I was connected to mine, and I just lost my connection...

How the...

Is this for real or is Apple screwing up or something...

Mine does the same thing... it's been that way for at least a week now, and I just subscribed today to .mac!

Mine's been doing this off and on for a few months now.

Same for me.

ditto...

if only it were for real

it is probably a problem with the way they have their shared enviroment set up or just the continuing issue the find has with accurately determining the size of some files and/or volumes.

mine has been doing that since the day i upgraded to 10.2 and subscribed to .Mac (the same day)...Aug. 24th.

If you all noticed it, one of you should have said something on the forums.

Checked mine again today and it is doing the same thing. Day before yesterday it as not showing 1023.4 mb available.

Mine does it, but only in the evenings. The most logical solution I can think of, is Apple is doing maintenance, and as they do it, some preferences aren't set right. It only happnes for a short period for me.

Maybe with all of the non-subscribers going away, Apple is going to upgrade those who do pay to have more space. This only sounds logical to me. I bet Apple will be happy not having to support 2.5 million accounts at no cost.

Each iDisk account lies on the server in such a fashion that it can quickly be expanded if a user purchases more storage space. The accounts have a virtual buffer around them. This way Apple can avoid having to juggle accounts between disks and partitions if someone decides to upgrade. As a side effect we're sometimes seeing larger "space remaining" counts than we should.
