NOW I’m Happy!!! (I think)
It’s Working… almost;
After several days of frustration after the Apple Store lost all of my contact and calendar information on my iPhone, like Humpty Dumpty, I am finally put back together again.
“It’s a bird… it’s a plane…”
I know just how the victims in the Superman movie felt when Clark Kent stepped into that phone booth and came out a different person, just in time to save the day, and change the tone of this Blog.
Super Geek to the Rescue
Troy Nichols broke free this afternoon to rescue me from my new Mobileme disaster. In little more than an hour he had everything (well amost everything) working as it is supposed to. Most importantly he got my contacts and calendar back into my iPhone within minutes and then moved on to tackle the new Mobileme software that is intended to synch my iPhone, Desktop PC and MacBook Air simultaneously and wirelessly. It appears that Apple may have releaseed this software a tad too soon as there are still a few glithches, the biggest being that it doesn’t synch my calendar to their own product, the MacBook Air. It does synch (sort of) to the iPhone, and I can go to Mobil.com and see everything, so until I am totally “in” business, I am no longer “out of business”.

Most impressive of all was Troy’s departing comment. He said, “I am going to buy Mobileme today for myself. I will do some studying and tinkering with it, and once I get it all figured out I will give you a call to polish off the job.” That gives me the confidence to look forward to his next visit. It also gives me some things to talk about when I visit the Mac Store next.
Stay tuned… As Yogi Berra once said, “It ain’t over till it’s over.” That’s where it stands…

The claims being made by Apple about Mobileme make it sound like a dream come true for those of us with multiple computers and iPhones.
It is very interesting to read what is going on here, because I have been holding back on this thinking, “No, not yet”.
Too many companies (like Apple) are famous for introducing a product only for the first buyers to pay too much and even worse become the ultimate beta testers. The beta work should be done by the company, or let the first x number of customers get it at a truly special price with the understanding that it may #@!( up their lives.

Glad it is getting better!
Some software companies give free access to Beta software (even Microsoft) for testing and feedback. Of course then you do have to purchase the final version (usually with a discount) after testing, if it is a paid product…
Sounds like Apple should adopt that policy.
