Sync .Mac Bookmarks by July 6th

Thursday July 3, 2008 1:21 am PDT by Arnold Kim
Apple has posted instructions to .Mac customers to sync their .Mac Bookmarks by July 6th ahead of the MobileMe launch.

While MobileMe will allow bookmark syncing between computers, it will remove the online web access to them. In order to preserve your bookmarks, you need to make sure they are synced to your Mac.

Apple's July 6th deadline opens the door to the possibility of an early MobileMe launch, which is expected to come by July 11th at the latest.

Wait… will MobileMe sync bookmarks between Macs/PCs and iPhones/iPod touches?

Absolutely. You can sync bookmarks even with MobileMe! The only thing that'll vanish is the web interface for viewing Bookmarks and the ability to manually add bookmarks through that interface!

I received an email on 6/17 from the .Mac team telling me to sync .mac book marks to my mac before 6/30.

Sorry to be losing the web interface. I'll miss being able to access my bookmarks when using a computer other than one of my own.

Oh, good. I don't know about this interface, but as long as bookmarks sync, I'm happy.

So it looks like July 7th is the possible launch date for mobileme. I wonder if they will release the iPhone 2.0 firmware update before the release of the 3G iPhone.

Its never worked right for me anyway, bookmarks or contacts for that matter. Sync claims to be syncing them but I always have bookmarks and contacts on my mac that are not listed on .mac.

I think Apple will release MobileMe on the 11th, alongside everything else, just so they can have 1 big event. Plus, it might tae a while to move everything from .Mac to MobileMe.

agreed. that's the only reason I really wanted .mac to begin with. I liked getting my bookmarks wherever I went without needing to have an iphone or itouch.

I dont think so. Apple will have to get MobileMe all settled and stabilized before iPhone 3G launch because as far as we can see, all documents clearly state that there will be no chance of compaibility with .Mac!

Secondly, July 11 doesn't really fall into the 'early July' category (does it?)

Thirdly and most importantly, Apple clearly mentions to complete everything before 6th JULY. (That definitely could also mean Apple will start shutting down .mac features slowly)

But after all this, it intuitively feels like its gonna be before 11th! What about you?
