And for this privilege I had to upgrade both my Macs to Lion. I upgraded to Lion, found that my 3rd party apps wouldn't work and was overall disappointed. Not having iDisk was a big disappointment also but Wuala works the same so not too big of a loss there. But what is the "backup" option, and how do I use it? I looked but Time Machine doesn't recognise the cloud Mar 23, AM. Mar 23, AM in response to rtv2 In response to rtv2. I have downloaded Wualu, to discover it is actually a beta, and quite buggy.
Be very, very, very careful when transferring files to this environment because it appears that Wualu encounters errors, drops files, and may not actually back up all the files you think it is backing up. Shame on you Apple As I said in another post, we are not all teenagers Perhaps Microsoft will bring out a proper cloud backup solution for the Mac sometime What is error? Don't you hate it when the Mac drops a large file copy operation because it hits a snag with a single file?
Seems like you need to try more of the others then, Wuala is not ready for primetime yet maybe never Dropbox however is ready, and SugarSync even more so. I am trying SugarSync now I gave up on Wuala - because of the way it synchs, my Macbook Pro appears to run out of resources when it is copying files to the Wuala synch directory and I get errors in file copy and the copy operation is aborted - very irritating, and more than a little nerve-wracking as it leaves you unsure whether all your files have been copied.
I have never been more annoyed with Apple than I am today - still sitting here days later trying to sort out the mess created by Apple's removal of iDisk - a functionality I depended on. And for what reason are they putting me to all this trouble? There is plenty of storage available on iCloud - but it can only be used for play stuff - photos and music - or Apple-specific app data, like Pages documents. None of which is of any interest or use to me. Perhaps Apple is becoming just a supplier of toys, and those of us who have been relying on Apple and the Mac for serious work will have to go elsewhere and find a reliable, professional, solution?
Where though? In the meantime my iPhone 3G has been dumbed down - Apple having removed the wireless synchronisation capability for contacts and calendar. Email still works but I am not sure how Apple can get away with that given that the iPhone 3G was sold with those capabilities Mar 23, PM.
Apr 20, AM in response to beandesign In response to beandesign We had two Apple Newtons in my family when Apple decided to drop them. Anyone interested in a paperweight? At least they were good for that. I can't think of anyway to recycle iDisk as a virtual paper weight. Yes, it's another crazy "ram it down your throat", "tough luck we are doing it whether you like it or not" , "we know better than you" decision by Apple.
It is very dissapointing to loose the iDisk. It is the reason I paid for MobileMe over the years. The next pargraph describes an additional problem with the loss of MobileMe which is worse for me. Step Four: Look there -- you now have a little drive on your Mac called 'dav'. This can be your iDisk replacement and is accessed in the 'shared' menu in your Finder window's left-hand browser bar. If you want a powerful online back-up solution, then I recommend taking a look at the powerful and secure service from Carbonite.
This fee-based service offers unlimited capacity and automatic online backups. If you need to transfer your existing iWeb sites to another server, then Apple has published instructions to help you achieve this. If you're looking for a quick and easy Website-building solution, then you could try any of the following.
You do, of course, also need to get yourself some website hosting and server space or a Dropbox account and some ingenuity. There's a selection of site templates, Facebook and Twitter integration, standards-based code support and a selection of website publishing options. There's a free trial download here. There's a library of widgets and support for third-party add-ons, called 'stacks'. You can get a free trial download here.
Of these three alternatives this is probably the most well-featured solution, but focuses less on out-of-the-box templates and more on your own design and creativity. Guess what? There's a demo version here. If you used MobileMe's Gallery service you probably liked it.
If you didn't, then you likely already knew that when it comes to sharing images online you're spoilt for choice.
