Leave it to me to break another Apple device - Page 2

Carlos, you would make a perfect beta tester for Apple. If a product can survive long term with you, nobody will be able to break it. I remember your posts about the computer when you were having problems.

Can't wait to see it on the 14th Carlos.

That is so true.

Genetic Defect · 01-29-2009, 05:07 PM

serious question, is it normal to have to go through 2-3 apple products to get one that works?

Jason · 01-29-2009, 11:04 PM

Carlos, I heart thee

Well,
No issues in an hour or so.
I think I got over the hump.

tenbaseg · 01-29-2009, 05:00 PM

This thread made me LOL.

I'm glad that you got it working...errr figured it out....

When I'm having problems with my iPhone, I just restart it. It usually seems to fix the problems.

King James · 01-29-2009, 06:56 PM

you consider getting a mobileme account, Carlos?

Talk to me.
What is that?
I think I already have it and don't know it.

you would know because you would have a xxx.xxxx@me.com email address.

It allows you to sync contacts,calendar,email,pictures,video across macbook,iphone,itouch automatically.... change any one of those on iphone or macbook and it syncs the next time the other device is turned on (or if you set it to sync @ certain time frame)

King James · 01-29-2009, 09:46 PM

was just showing the format of the email addy you get w/ a mobileme acct.

Blueface · 01-30-2009, 07:21 AM

Jim,
Just noticed.
When I select my mac.com email account, it says "mobile me" at the bottom.
When I select my bellsouth.net, it doesn't.
Yet, they both interact with my laptop.

Blueface · 01-30-2009, 08:02 AM

Boy do I now know I have MobileMe for sure.

When I first tried to access it via Apple.com, I didn't remember the password.
I didn't consider it to be the same as my "mail" one. Don't know why. That is just me.

When I got on MobileMe, I had to change it as I had to ask as forgot.
When I changed it, I made it different than my mac.com one.

Well, that messed things up and could no longer address emails in my iPhone.
Went back to mobile me and made it the same as my mac.com email account and all is back to normal.

Nice to find out I have things for $99 that I paid for, don't know about and have never used.

Carlos, ship it to me, I can fix it with one of our 5000lb anchors!!!

King James · 01-30-2009, 07:23 AM

.mac is sort of like the old version of mobileme. If you use the Mail application on your macbook (stamp icon) then it should sync regardless so hard to tell if you have all the features of mobileme. If you have it, then definitely set it up (you have to do it on both your macbook and iphone but is sort of hard to type up and explain if you aren't sure how to do it). You would see a cloud icon somewhere that said "mobileme"

If you need/want help I can try to help figure it out on the phone, just shoot me a PM

EDIT: are you sure it is activated on both iphone and macbook? You should get a prompt when it syncs and any pictures you take on your phone would come into iphoto and contacts/calendar stuff would sync as well.

you boys can use the new share screen option on skype and you can walk him through it, James.
