MobileMe has become a Swiss-army knife of online services, offering not only a whizzy "push" data-syncing service for tracking calendar, contact, bookmark, and note info on a variety of devices, but also email services, online storage and file sharing, a place to put your iWeb site or share photos or videos, and more. Take Control of MobileMe helps you understand the features and get set up, and then it dives into the details of real-world tasks.
This 140-page ebook covers how to handle many aspects of using MobileMe, including:
- Syncing—what to expect, handling problems, and more
- Various ways to use an iDisk for storing and sharing files
- Setting up and using a MobileMe email account
- Managing calendar and contact data on the MobileMe site
- Posting photos and videos online via the Gallery and iLife ’11 or ’09
- Publishing a Web site to MobileMe's servers via iWeb
- Using Back to My Mac to get at the files and screen of one Mac from another
- Understanding what Apple's Backup, free with MobileMe, can and can't do, and whether it's a good choice for you
- Tracking your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch via Find My iPhone
- Accessing your iDisk from an iOS device (with instructions for Apple's free iDisk app and notes on several third-party apps)
