I was making the move from mobile me to iCloud this evening, then I read this

These MobileMe features will not be available :

Dashboard Widgets
Dock Items
Keychain
Mail Accounts
Mail Rules, Signatures, and Smart Mailboxes
Mac OS X Preferences syncing

HUH I enjoy using these !! I don't need my music on all my device's automatically that bad to give these up change it back ! and Im losing IDisk no thank-you !

Please fix all of this before June 2012. i don't mind paying $6 a month anyways for mobile me !

Wish they would have kept iDisk but I'm sure they'll be doing something along those lines soon I hope. I read somewhere they had tried to buy Dropbox and right now there is currently a way to sync documents across Macs (kind of a hack way storing stuff in the Mobile Documents folder). It only seems logical they would offer up a file sync/backup/storage solution similar to Dropbox eventually.

You enjoy using those? Do you often sync those settings among multiple computers, or just backing them up?

Really, since I'm not logging on to a bunch of different systems on a regular basis (Macs at least) I never really used any of those.

Either way, come next June I'm certain that they'll go bye-bye.

I guess you didn't know this, but you could also use those features when backing up OSX without doing a complete restore from TimeMachine. That's a good feature for me since I'm not a fan of doing reinstalling backups on new drives. I hate how they got rid of them,and hope they will bering them back on iCloud.

See, I do full disk images. So while I did know this, it's a non-issue for my work/data management flow.

That doesn't mean its useless for everyone else. I also can't see how it would be faster/easier than just logging into your MobileMe account and having it do everything for you in a quick sync.

No, but perhaps... this is why I asked. Actually, it was. I can't think of every way someone uses something. Not even for the product I work on O:)

You're a senior member...thinking of things is something your should excel at

LOL. I don't even know why I'm talking here...I make backups of backups, and make manual copies on separate drives depending on the type of data being saved...time is not my friend.
