Oh well, maybe later. ....and later is today. Just been invited, just upgraded. Will have a play setting up shared calendars and hopefully then I can retire the home-run CalDAV (which works fine, but was a fair amount of faff). Cheers, Ian

Make sure you read the instructions they send you... synching the calendar to an iPhone you can just enter your MobileMe details and it'll figure it all out, but to a Mac and an iPad, it has to be explicitly told to use the me.com CalDAV server. Actually, I think the instructions say you just need to do that for an iPad (older version of iOS), and the Mac should be fine via normal MobileMe, but I found that wasn't the case. I have all three working now, anyway, and it's all fine. b. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

It took about ten minutes on my macbook, for some reason and I was getting a bit anxious -how do you downgrade, etc. But it all came right in the end. I also find that I need to check the option to 'keep a local copy of the calendar in this computer', as 'these computers', in particular my macbook and my ipad, are not always connected to the internet or able to pull the calendars off mobileme. -- flavio matani guitar tuition http://www.flaviomatani.co.uk http://fflavio.com

Will probably bail out of the beta in the next few days, there's nothing in it all that is that very useful to me. > > I also find that I need to check the option to 'keep a local copy of the > calendar in this computer', as 'these computers', in particular my > macbook and my ipad, are not always connected to the internet or able to > pull the calendars off mobileme. This works, but local changes in devices don't seem to sync, only those made on the web page... Hmpf.... -- flavio matani guitar tuition http://www.flaviomatani.co.uk http://fflavio.com
