Another two days, another post from the mysterious David G. (known on the street as…er…David G.) on the status of everybody’s favorite yo-yo Internet service. Having previously informed us of the background behind MobileMe’s growing pains, David’s here to tell us that everything is copacetic.
We have completed restoring Mail service, including historical messages, to all of the 1% of affected members. Thank you all for your extreme patience during this trying time.
Is our long national MobileMe nightmare finally over? Well, mostly. Of course, there may be lingering problems for a few people. For them, Apple’s set up a dedicated chat line, just for MobileMe Mail issues—note that’s mail issues only; your iDisk and calendar syncing problems will have to go elsewhere.
Speaking of which, Apple also apparently caught a bug that was preventing syncing of calendar data to iPhones and iPod touches. The fix is transparent, so your data should already be back in fighting shape—if it’s not, just follow these steps.
The G-man (no?) promises another post on MobileMe Status “later this week.” This Apple blog thing is all so…novel. And kind of frightening. What’s next, Cupertino hopping on Twitter?
The sync on my Mac doesn't work at all now. It's been trying to sync for a week, but it's just hanging. Force quitting the program doesn't help either - it's still running? Argh. Anyway, guess it's time to reboot. And another thing - you know that button on me.com that says "keep me logged in for 2 weeks" - I think they meant to say 2 minutes. It doesn't effin work!
All data gets pushed to my iPhone. But my calendar on my Mac mini (running Tiger) doesn't sync. I keep getting a "inconsistent data" error. I tried un-registering the Mac, deleting and adding again, etc... nothing works. In the forums there are a ton of people with the same problem. What gives?
