Finally, back at System PreferencesÆMobileMe, fill in the account name and password MobileMe

you just composed, if necessary. Now the preference pane has magically sprouted four tabs, which you’ll meet in the following pages.

Let your grand tour of MobileMe’s motley features begin.

Figure 10-11:

The MobileMe

features appear

as buttons on the

me.com Web site.

Here’s all your

email, your Address

Book, and your

calendar, which get

auto-synchronized

among your Macs,

PCs, and iPhones.

Here, too, are any

photos or videos

you’ve published

from Snow Leopard,

and any files you’ve

stashed on your

iDisk.

MobileMe Sync

For many people, this may be the killer app for MobileMe right here: The me.com

Web site, acting as the master control center, can keep multiple Macs, Windows PCs, and iPhones/iPod Touches synchronized.

It works by storing the master copies of your stuff—email, calendars, address books, Web bookmarks, Dock items, passwords, notes, email account details, and Dashboard

widgets—on the Web. (Or “in the cloud,” as the product managers would say.)

Whenever your Macs, PCs, or iPhones/Touches are online, they connect to the mother ship and update themselves. Edit an address on your iPhone and shortly thereafter, you’ll find the same change in Address Book (on your Mac) and Outlook (on your

PC). Send an email reply from your PC at the office and you’ll find it in your Sent Mail folder on the Mac at home. Add a Web bookmark anywhere and find it everywhere else.
