Take goddamn iPhoto. I want photo stream to work but for the last couple of months, it is always off when I launch iPhoto on the Mac. Why? I dunno, makes no sense to me.

Am I running all sorts of crap that should interfere with iPhoto? No. in fact, how can i? Do I have 25 icloud accounts? No, 1.

There is no good reason for this.

It just doesn't work.

And with another billion tossed at it, it's not going to do any better.]]> bahamut Spork Central Sat, 27 Apr 2013 13:01:53 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,9466,41577#msg-41577 Re: It's not You, it's MobileMe http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,9466,41577#msg-41577 bahamut Spork Central Tue, 09 Apr 2013 23:04:44 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,9466,41571#msg-41571 Re: It's not You, it's MobileMe http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,9466,41571#msg-41571

Do you think this unfinished state might be in part due to the rumors that Apple wanted to buy Dropbox? That is, they didn't invest heavily in making document sync work well because they thought they'd be buying a solution?

http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html

How am I supposed to sync my Pages documents to my iPad? Dropbox I guess.

I've almost completely turned off iCloud. I'm still using contacts and reminders, photostream and of course find my iphone/Ipad but I'm finding it less reliable and less useful that MobileMe, which is stunning. Backups to iCloud are totally useless in our iOS family. We have two iPhones, one 16gb, one 64gb and three (well four, but one has to go) iPads, all 64gb. In other words, even if we paid $100 a year, we wouldn't have enough storage to back up our iOS devices.

Apple is in deep trouble with this one. I'm thinking of selling my stock. The next iPhone will have little to recommend it. The one after that even less (once you're at LTE speeds, anything faster is diminishing returns… it's already unaffordable pricewise to use these things to their fullest).

It's a clusterfuck. Time to acknowledge it.

I vote we call the next iteration Fuckme.com because no doubt that will be just what it will do. But it'll pick up pr0n browsers…]]> bahamut Spork Central Sun, 06 May 2012 20:06:40 -0400 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,9466,35288#msg-35288 Re: It's not You, it's MobileMe http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,9466,35288#msg-35288 tliet Spork Central Thu, 08 Dec 2011 23:02:41 -0500 http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,9466,35287#msg-35287 Re: It's not You, it's MobileMe http://www.macedition.com/forums/read.php?4,9466,35287#msg-35287

Mr. Jobs reportedly asked the assembled engineers and other MobileMe team members, “Can anyone tell me what MobileMe is supposed to do?” When one of those employees then volunteered a satisfactory answer, Mr. Jobs followed up with, “So why the fuck doesn’t it do that?”

All the way back to iTools Apple has never had a good "online strategy".
