Mobile Me & ProTools beware!
In the Mobile Me control panel, in the Synchronisation Tab, "Preferences" should not be selected as it will replace preferences in a computer with the preferences of another computer creating some problems.
Examples:
Digi, please add the "uncheck preferences synching in Mobile Me" to the general troubleshooting thread. JC |

Re: Mobile Me & ProTools beware!
200 years ago, the people responsible for MobileMe would have been hung in public.
If I ever said anything that people should consider dangerous as a premature heart attack it is this: STAY AWAY FROM MOBILE ME BY APPLE It will cause you wallet to be light $99 - and at one point your file WILL meet corruption.

Re: Mobile Me & ProTools beware!
Ha ha... that's good info about "preference syncing" I checked my machines, and they are all unchecked - I could definitely see how that could be a major problem.
Aside from that, I've got to say I've got a Great experience with .Mac / MobileMe in the last 8 years since 2000 Now, my calendar, contacts, e-mail, (My life) simultaneously appears in my pocket (iPhone) in my Office iMac, and my Studio, as well as my laptop. I could be in Paris france, meet someone, enter their contact info into My iPhone, and book a session, and when I get back to the hotel, open my MacBookPro, the session is in the Calendar, the contact is in my address book, and at the same time, in my Calendar and address book at the studio, and office, in North America. A few "Growing pains" with the recent transition to "MobileMe" but it's been pretty seamless. OS X's built in WebDav client (iDisk) has always been a bit flakey, but for years I've used "Transmit" as my FTP/WebDav client, and it's been flawless uploading and downloading sessions, mixes, and files to clients, giving them immediate HTTP access to all files, regardless of platform. The e-mail never gets spam, and I've never "Not gotten" a message (Unlike my domain e-mail which is pummeled, and the filters are so tight, "Good" mail often doesn't make it through) All and all - for the $100.00 Bucks a year, for - Complete Remote access (Files AND Vnc Screen Sharing) to all of my Machines, "Instantly appearing in the finder SideBar" no matter where I am in the world. - 20 Gb of HTTP and WebDav Disk Space for transfering sessions and Mixes - Spam Free e-mail - Complete Sync between Office - Studio - Laptop & Hand Held - instant publishing of Sites, Photo Galleries, Movie Clips for projects and client collaboration. I actually would be a little "Crippled" without it with the workflow I've developed because of these services. So... I'm just putting "My experience in" with MobileMe - hasn't been Bad at all. I'll bet that "Preference Sharing" checkbox could change my experience pretty drastically though !

Re: Mobile Me & ProTools beware!
I agree with everything David said.
Works great for me. Transmit and Filechute are a must. Although they just released "file sharing" of any file on your iDisk so Filechute might now expendable. |

Re: Mobile Me & ProTools beware!
what I found to be way more effective, a lot faster and safe is this
DropBox And it is free up to two GB.

Although I prefer the email that MobileMe sends out so I use that one. Plus it has password protection on .zip files. I just dragged the filechute folder to the sidebar to make it super easy.
