So this is what, the second time in four years Apple has done this to their customers? First, Mac.com was replaced by MobileMe (me.com), which is now being replaced by iCloud. And each time it requires the customer to resubscribe to the new service, move their data, and change their email addresses.
-----I'm led to believe here at work, the icloud doesn't require the current MobileMe members to do anything.
If you want the cloud-based iTunes sync, that is a $25. Annual subscription.
That subscription price is for 20-200,000 items in your iTunes library.
From my little technological bit of heaven, iPad2!
If you have a me.com address you will not need to do anything but log in.
-----Dot Mac and MobileMe were both caca, especially the latter. Did not renew my Me account over a year ago simply because it never worked right.
Three times in five years Apple has moved everything around, essentially admitting the first two tries were failures. Apple does so many things well, but not these two.
Why should we expect anything different with iCloud?
That's strange. I've never had any real problems with MobileMe except during the initial startup. Once that settled, iMM has always worked beautifully between my iPhone, iPad (now iPad 2), Mac Mini, iMac & MacBook Pro.
