SCO0161 - MobileMe Web Services [Extra! members only]

mobileme logo
Finally, MobileMe has stayed up long enough to complete my short series of MobileMe related shows. Despite lots of moaning and groaning (including from me and the rest of the guys over on the MacRoundtable podcast!), it looks like MobileMe is finally starting to stabilise and is now a usable service, despite some holes still waiting to be filled.

This week I take a look at some of the Web services and components that make up Apple new cloud computing platform and look at some tips on using them and some “workarounds” that may help you out if you use subscribed calendars. This weeks show covers:
  • Using Fluid to create a MobileMe Site Specific Browser (SSB)
  • MobileMe Web Email & Contacts
  • MobileMe Web Calendar
  • Syncronisng "Subscribed" Calendars with MobileMe
  • Google Calendar and BusySync
  • MobileMe Web Galleries
  • MobileMe iDisk
  • MobileMe Settings
That probably finishes off MobileMe for a while!

SCO0157 - MobileMe Setup and iTunes 7.7 [Extra! Only]

mobileme logo
What a week for Apple! First iTunes 7.7, then the App Store, then MobileMe and finally the iPhone 3G. All in three days!

In the spirit of such an ambitious program, I thought I’d cover the rollout of MobileMe and what you needed to do to setup your Mac and iPhone using the MobileMe installer.

Leaving the show for the very last minute, I waited until Apple started the 6 hour migration task and then proceeded to cover the installer based on a pre-release of the utility. Little did I know that the 6 hour migration window scheduled by Apple would turn out to be so much longer. In fact over 24 hours later it still hadn’t finished or stabilised.

So this weeks show is really the first part of using MobileMe, and I’ve had to leave the web applications until they are generally available. I also took some time to look at the new iTunes release and the brand new App store in iTunes.

So a relatively short show this week but enough to help you out with your MobileMe migration.
