Changes you make on one device are automatically sent to a secure online server, the MobileMe "cloud," and back down to your other devices, keeping them all in sync. MobileMe works with the native applications you use every day--Microsoft Outlook on a PC and Mail, Address Book, and iCal on the Mac. Access your email, contacts, calendar, photos, and documents from anywhere with a suite of elegant, ad-free web applications at me.com.

The Family Pack includes one individual account plus four Family Member accounts, each with its own email address, 5GB of combined email and file storage, and 50GB of monthly data transfer.

    It all goes where you go.

    Maybe you have a computer at home, one at work, and an iPhone or iPod touch. And it can be hard to keep them all up to date. But now there's MobileMe. Wherever you are, your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC are always current and always in sync. And with a suite of elegant new web applications, you can access your data from anywhere.
    • Automatic sync.
      MobileMe stores all your email, contacts, and calendars on an online server--or "cloud"--and syncs them to your iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and PC. When you make a change on one device, the cloud updates the others. The sync happens automatically and continuously. You don't have to wait for it or remember to do anything--such as docking your iPhone and syncing manually--to stay up to date.

      (Please note: Updates between me.com and iPhone or iPod touch will occur in a matter of seconds; updates between me.com and Macs running Mac OS X Leopard and Windows PCs may take up to 15 minutes when MobileMe is set to sync automatically. Macs running Mac OS X Tiger may experience longer sync times.)

    • Works with the native applications you know.
      Do everything you need to do on every device you own. MobileMe works with Mail, Address Book, and iCal on a Mac; Microsoft Outlook on a PC with Windows XP or Vista; and the built-in applications on your iPhone or iPod touch.

Accessible anywhere, me.com is an ad-free suite of web applications--Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Gallery, and iDisk--that are elegant and easy to use. You can drag and drop, click and drag, use keyboard shortcuts, and even switch between applications with a single click. Me.com is such a great web experience, it seems as if you're using desktop software.

    4 out of 5 stars Fairly essential for multiple Mac family   December 24, 2008

    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Probably the only way to keep a multi-user family Mac situation in control. Allows you to ensure that preferences, email accounts, bookmarks, calendars and contacts are fully synchronized. Worthwhile, particularly if you purchase at lower Amazon price.


    5 out of 5 stars Mobile Me saves the Day   December 21, 2008

    MobileMe Family Pack I had just purchased and signed up for Mobile Me a few days before my hard drive on my MacBook crashed. I had good backups of everything but my address book and contacts. Fortunately, those were all stored on my MobileMe account "in the cloud". After getting the new hard drive (thank you Apple Care) and reloaded my OSX operating system) & programs, I synced my computer with MobileMe *just like magic* all of my calendar appointments & contact information were just there. How cool is that?

    If you have an iPhone and don't have MobileMe you are just simply missing out on one of the best parts of the service. In addition to the sync capabilities, you have access to iDisk which will give you a place to store photos and files that are accessible from any web browser. You will also have access to your calendar, contacts & email from any browser.

    This is a hard-to-beat service and I would highly recommend the Family pack if you have more than one iPhone in the family.



    5 out of 5 stars Me like MobileMe   December 12, 2008

    I am a Mac user as I have stop using Windows and Linux. I find the MobileMe experience very good. Sure the launch at first was bad, but I never had any problems. I have my desktop calendar and contacts syncing to my MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, and iPhone (3G). They are all syncing without any problems for myself and my spouse who is a Mac user as well (iMac - MacBook - iPhone (3G)). The family pack is just a cost efficient way to have 5 accounts. You can also renew your existing family account and still save money over what Apple would charge you for a renewal.

    I also like the way I can post pictures, movies, and webpages. I tend use the MobileMe over something like Flickr or Picasa or Kodiak as I don't have to worry about my pictures being open for public use. Those other sites cannot guarantee that my pictures are deleted when I remove them from those sites.

    The last time is that this service does give you access to Apple's support. I never had any problems with this support system and every time I had to ask a question, the support staff was able to answer my question and give a good explanation to help you understand the process.

    This is a very good buy and I would recommend this product especially to anyone having the iPhone and want their contacts synced with their desktop and phone using MobileMe's cloud.

    Mobile me Rocks. Although most of what I wanted to do I could have done with a single unit, I used the family pack to give one to my brother and one to my sister to use in their families. The sharing of the calendar and contacts is great within the family. And since we all use different computers some apple some dell it makes them all share this stuff together. Its just what we needed.


    4 out of 5 stars Mobile Me: The best web-based set of apps out there   October 31, 2008
    trainwrecka (Grapevine, TX USA)
    I've been a .mac owner for years, and the transition to Mobile Me went very smooth. Mobile Me is a HUGE upgrade from the days of .mac. The website interface is very slick, and has a lot of very cool features. If you own a Mac - buy this. If you own an iPhone - buy this. I know there were some people who signed up back in July during the transition, that didn't have as much luck. This was a very small group of users, and Apple gave them months upon months of free Mobile Me usage. Mobile Me is great, pick it up today.
