Does the same hold true for iWork '09? Because, doesn't iWork come with a Serial Number?
- Gerard Lagana
I believe you'd have to buy the Family Pack version, allowing up to 5 installs. It's like $20 bucks more.
- Garth Bradley
I confirm. If you want to multiple install those sw you legally need the family pack version.

If its anything like MS office and you install on more than one, with the same serial, if you try to use both at the same time on the same network you get a message pop up saying NO! Well, not no, but something saying you cant do it.

I have found it to be somewhat useless besides the syncing capabilities to my iPhone. I have had it since the very first day it has come out and I have probably logged into the web interface a total of 10 times. The fact that this service, which should be free, is not free makes it even less desirable until Apple makes drastic improvements to it.
- Vinny
Vinny, why should it be free? Just curious. If it's useless, why do you keep the subscription? (or do you?).
- mikepk
@mikepk It doesn't provide anything that other companies can and are providing for no cost. The only reason I still have it is because I paid for it a year in advance when I first purchased it. I don't plan on renewing unless better integration and more features are added.
- Vinny
a couple of years? oh u mean including mac.com - i just mean what mobileme has been like since it's release...
- Zee.
I love it. The ability alone to sync all my calendars and contacts with my iPhone, Mac, and PC's is worth the price alone.
- Spencer
Call it what you will. MobileMe is the engine that drives iWeb, MacGallery, and the syncing. In fact, it enables Outlook users to sync with their iPhone / iPod Touch for calendars and email. Easily worth $99.00 a year just for the hosting aspects associated with iWeb. Plus it enables Mac users with multiple machines to sync them. The new user interface is better than under ,Mac I love it.
- Garth Bradley
I just bought it last night ...so far so good ... not sure that I will use the diskspace ... sync is what I needed it for , Iphone to MacBook Pro

Syncing between home and work computers has been a life altering technology for me. With everything syncing to the iphone, and between work and home, I no longer have to lug around my Macbook pro everyday. In conjunction with the iphone, it really became handy. It is still a little pricey though......

I have decided to stick with google - having a jailbroken iPhone I use NemusSync to sync my Cal, Pixelpipe for images.... only issue is that my contacts are still not part of NemusSync - but I am hoping it will come...
- Thomas Jeppesen
Syncing my contacts, events and settings across 3 devices makes it very useful for me. I use the IMAP mail facility but I could get that elsewhere for free, ditto for iDisk, but I still use both of those facilities.
- Paul Grav
Underwhelming and overpriced, but it saves me loads of time syncing contacts and calendars between 3 - 5 computers and an iPhone. I could kludge something together for less money but I'd have to pay too much attention to it. It's been set it and forget it for me. iDisk space is nice in an emergency or for a quick transfer. I like the .mac.com email address for subscriptions that I suspect are going to spam me.
- M C Morgan
Great for iPhone sync and archival backup. Mobile Me email is ok but I use it for only a few low volume tasks. I use dropbox for cloud storage of my active files.

The web interface is horribly slow. I actually like the old version better. I like the iLife integration for easy of use for uploading photos, creating a small site etc.
- Noah White
I too use it only for the syncing capabilities to my iphone. That functionality is wonderful.
- Phil McCredden
Use it primarily for email and iPhone/Mac sync.
- Rom Feria
I really like it. When i took my iPhone back to get a replacement i just put in my details and ina few minutes i was back in business. Handy for syncing all my computers and phone to have the same calender and bookmarks too. Dont really use the web part of it.
- Simon Wicks
@Thomas Jeppesen: MobileMe only exists because the iPhone SDK does not allow for the Syncing of calendars via SyncML protocols. It does however allow the syncing contacts using the same protocol so for the same contact functionality you can sync your contacts to ScheduleWorld of myFunambol and then sync every other device or computer you have to that to have your contacts everywhere...for free. You can find Funambol in the App Store

I don't have an iPhone or MobileMe but my SIL does. We had a discussion about it & if there were "ways around it" and she showed me how she can't live without it. Me personally, 1st thing I'd do upon getting an iPhone is invest the extra time to save the money, but I can really see how it makes sense for her and her business. I like to tinker, she just wants to get er done & will pay the premium for it. I suspect she's not the only one, but then neither am I.
- TheMacMommy
I've had it since launch day and was really looking forward to integrating calendar data between iPhone, Mac, and Outlook on PC. Unfortunately it was so unreliable and wreaked such havoc on my work flow that I haven't used it since. Can anyone speak to whether or not the syncing issues have been corrected, particularly between Mac and PCs?
