 Horrible - compatability issues with PCs October 1, 2008

I just got this product and had tons of issues with syncing up PCs. The support is really bad too. They don't really support PC issues. I do not recommend this product.
Why am I still using MobileMe? September 30, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
Been using iTools and .Mac from the beginning just as many users here.
MobileMe has taken it another few steps backwards.
Firstly, the petty issue of the name. C'mon Apple, you could have done better.
The iPhone has thrown you off course, just like the iPod did. It's at the point where you don't even get full sync with new handsets, but that's another issue for another time. After some months the bugs seem to be growing. While they have extended my subscription, I feel I'm going to let this die.
I would rather pay for features that I can use now with my Mac. $100 seems way too much for all those features I'm not going to use. Sure I loved hosting my homepage on .Mac - iPhoto works great with uploading your special photos for the world to see. The templates are very nice at first. Discounts of some software (but many I did use)... So many great little things I enjoyed that now have been worn off.
Apple it's time you really get serious. You should change your pricing structure into a more 'web hosting' model so we can pay for what we want.
MobileMe is just one of those service that is going to fail and another name change is not going to help you.
Dear God, what a mess... September 28, 2008

Mobile Me is a total mess. I would recommend that anyone who is thinking about using it or puchasing it have their head checked. And after the response from Apple, that goes for all Apple products.
In the conversion from .mac to Mobile Me, all of my contacts were lost. Five years worth. Of course, Apple Support told me it was my fault. (Never mind that I was paying them to keep my data safe on their servers, with promises from them of stability). The consolation? Three free months of Mobile Me, a crappy service at a $25 value. That will not even pay for the first 30 minutes of my time trying to gather all of my contacts back.
I have used macs and apple-related products exclusively for several years. I was a convert from Windows to Apple. Now, I am more discriminate in my selection of technology-related products and understand that Apple is more style over substance. Thick-rimmed glasses and pretentious commercials have very little to do with quality and customer support. It is very unlikely I will continue to patronize Apple in the future.

Very unhappy with this product September 11, 2008

Among other promises, Apple stated, with the rollout of MobileMe that it would allow you to synchronize your Outlook calendar, contacts and email, via the internet (i.e. MobileMe service) from a source PC to a target Mac. Well, this functionality absoultely did not work when MobileMe was released. It may have worked in very specific scenarios, but given Apple's big promises which drove me to buy the product, one has to conclude that it does not work as advertised.
I'm an IT professional and I'm both a Windows/PC and a Mac enthusiast so I'm not bashing Apple unnecesarily here. They just messed this one up. I'm not giving up on Apple. They say that they're still working to get MobileMe to work as advertised so I'm still waiting.
Other than my gripes, MobileMe seems to work pretty much just like its predecessor, the .Mac service, which does have some value.
