Hey all you .mac users out there!

Apple has just upgraded the service:
Each member account now has 1GB of space for emails and iDisk storage.
Backup 3 is also now available (10.3.9 required).

Thanks Apple! (About time, but thanks).

Thats cool, one qeustion, How do you get updated to 1 GB. It does not seem to be automatic. I do not see directions on homepage.

Maybe it's not meant for members that joined past a certain time line

Go to mac.com, login, go to Account, then go to storage settings. It doesn't automatically allocate the space to e-mail or iDisk.

When I logged in it just said I have 1 GB now available buy my iDisk was set to 125mb and my E-mail was set to 125mb. I just had to go to the settings to tell it where I wanted to use the new space.

Good to see they finally caught up, however I still don't like the 10GB per month data transfer when places like Omnis gives 100GB. Although I do know the other benefits of .Mac but they need to do something about that.

Ok it is up dated now. Phew I thought something was wrong. I think I need another place for my pages anyway, it is not really setup for the things I put on there. Maybe I'll use up all the space for the alloted time and move on to another just before the time is up.....Thanks for the update BTW!~

Sorry for not replying sooner - I'm at work at the moment

Yeah I didn't have the gig when I posted, but the .mac status page still said that services were unavailable so I figured they were still in the process of setting up all members accounts.

I'm happy with the upgrades. Does anyone know if Backup 3 can clone to a external firewire drive to create a bootable backup?

Glad to see it finally got updated. .Mac is nice, but for the money, it makes more sense to go with another hosting company. However, I am doing .Mac for a year, since it was discounted with my Powermac. I may or may not renew it when the year is up. I wish they'd update/add more freebees (ex. The GarageBand Jampacks).
