MobileMe Online, Mac OS X Updater Available

After a few days of growing pains, it appears that MobileMe is now online at Me.com. The service has been up and down over the past few days while under heavy load. While Apple had initially released a MobileMe updater for Mac OS X, they had temporarily pulled it during the ongoing server issues.

Today, the MobileMe updater appears to have returned to Software Update as version 1.1:

The Mac OS X Update For MobileMe is recommended for users running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 and includes general system fixes that enhance your Mac for MobileMe.

The web-based service replaces .Mac and offers web-based email, calendar, addressbook, online storage as well as "push" sync services.

We've opened a MobileMe forum to handle questions and discussion about this new Apple service.

Try going into System Preferences and clicking on the .Mac icon and click on the tabs in there, this prompts a dialogue box to pop up with the information.

Here is the dialogue box that should pop up:

It's not in my software update either. I have a MBP. I can't believe Apple dropped the ball on this one. They are usually very good about product launches. This one went like crap.

Yes, that does work. It's not in my software update, but clicking on .Mac in prefs does work and eventually brings up the updater.

I was in Safari when a window popped up and said MobileMe was ready. Please run Software update.

I have installed it and had a play. It is running quite slow and push still doesnt seem to be working. Also MM calendar kept throwing up errors.

:confused:

Not in mine either. This rollout has been very poor. I think Apple is stretching themselves too far as they can't handle rolling out MobileMe & iPhone 3G at the same time.

I can't even get me.com up and running. It keeps showing that black spinner.

Keep this up and they lose a 5 year member in standing.

No excuse for this at all.
