I have just upgraded to iPhone 4s, my wife now has my iPhone 3GS and I've passed on her old iPhone 3G to my son. My wife and I use iCloud but as the iPhone 3G won't work with iCloud, how can I locate it if I want to see if my son has got home from school for example?
Info:
iPhone 3G, iOS 4.3.3, It's running the highest iOS it can
I've always love MM especially in the IPhone. However, if Gmail/calendar/services are available via EXCHANGE (true push)(OS 4 have multiple exchange accounts) then MobileMe is losing ground unless APPLE comes up with some new features.
Mail: Gmail > MM given that Gmail is free and EXCHANGE gives it instant push.
Calendar: PUSH unless you have Mac then it's easier to setup MM on iCal
Contacts: PUSH with EXCHANGE
Photo: MM slight edge given it has more space but Pisaso isn't bad
Google voice >> mobile me
Storage: MM (20GB)+ iDisk >Google but you can get other free DROPBOX etc.
Hosting: MM>Google because it can and google doesn't offer this service.
Locate your phone/wipe data: MM>Google
Cost: Google>>> MobileMe, free wins by a LARGE margin
Anyway, the advantages are dwindling fast and MM cost $69-99 per yrs. Come on APPLE give MobileMe some new firepower or offer it free for Apple users!
I have been over the fence on MobileMe. The main attraction for me is the find lost phone feature but 100 bucks seem a bit much for it. The mail/calendar/storage features are attractive but not sure how much I'd use them. Wanted to get a feel from fellow folks here on how they use MM. Attaching a poll.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI spent the last two hours trying to get rid of these. Is there any way to delete these without deleting everything off my iPhone and starting over? I followed some steps online about disable the MobileMe calendar option, making a calendar in iCal and syncing that. That only gets rid of one of the MobileMe calendars.

Is there any workaround to use Mail.app with MM / iCloud?
I'm currently running the 4.1 GM and noticed when I restored my phone as a new phone and had to redo all my MobileMe stuff that Notes was no longer an option for syncing.
It was available in 4.02 if I remember correctly but now it's suddenly gone. Can anyone else confirm this? Or has it been missing for awhile and I just never noticed?
I have all my contacts on my iPhone.How do I get these contacts into MobileMe and Outlook 2007? When I right click the MobileMe application and select Sync Now, it doesn't sync any of my phone contacts to MobileMe or Outlook. How do I do it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedBoth my gf and I upgraded to the new iPhone4.I figured I would try the free trial of MobileMe since Ive heard horror stories of friends losing phones and/or contacts.I set up my phone to have a MobileMe account and uploaded my contacts no problem and its even syncing over WiFi.It did double up on a few of my contacts for some reason but other than that it was great.Until I discovered that it was syncing my contacts to my gf new iPhone4 as well. This phone didnt even have the MobileMe account set up or activated on it.I checked the sync screen under INFO and under MobileMe it still says SET UP NOW?I cant seem to figure out why it's doing this or how to stop it.

I was wondering, since his phone is still logged in to Facebook and Skype, can it be located somehow through them?

My 3G iPhone cannot load iOS 5, and my mobileme account has disappeared, except for Find My Phone. How can I get my email account back on my phone?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWell I am a developer and downloaded the official 4.1 gm from apple and installed. Every thing seemed fine until someone sent me a text and only the phone number showed up and not their name, went to contacts and saw that they did not sync with MobileMe. I tried toggling contacts in settings, did not help, I also tried deleting MobileMe account and resetting it up, nothing seems to work. I checked my MobileMe account and all the contacts are still there, I also checked my iPad and the contacts are still syncing there fine. One other thing is the calendar and book marks don't sync either.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI never had this, albeit minor, problem on my old 3G. On my IP4.01 the MobileMe calendars are a little slow to load when I switch from month to month. For example, if I open up the calendar app, July loads up with all 4 of my calendars quickly. When I click to switch to August, it pauses for a few seconds, moves to the August calendar, then pauses for 5 seconds or so before the appointments display. It sounds petty, but its really annoying when I'm trying to quickly check my schedule.
View 6 Replies View RelatedOk, my wife just switched from VZ and was on an Android based phone, but she no longer needs her GMail Contacts but we want to move them and her Calendar to the iPhone and start Syncing her MobileMe, how can we do this.Everytime I think it is done and remove her GMail account from her phone her contacts go puff. I am very familiar with the iPhone and MacBook, however not so much with the Android and GMail settings.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm upgrading to an IPhone 3GS, but would like to keep my iPhone 3G for another phone number that I have. I was wondering whether I could have 2 working IPhones that have essentially the same info on them? Would this create any issues if both sync to the same Mobile Me account? Would I have to repurchase apps on the new IPhone 3GS?

iPhone 4, iOS 5, iCloud. I have several email accounts on my iPhone and for some reason, it gives me an alert sound every time I get an email on my me.com account. The others don't alert me - I don't want alerts on any of them.
I turned Mail off in Notifications center and can't seem to find a notification setting for individual accounts. To be clear, I only get a tri-tone alert sound when .me mail comes in. Nothing in notification center. It gets really annoying because I'll get Apple marketing emails at 2-5am, waking me from my peaceful slumber!

I just upgraded to iPhone 4. I have MobileMe and haven't had any syncing problems between my MacBook iCal, MobileMe web calendar, and Calendar on my iPhone 3G. Now, whenever I modify a previously-created event on my iPhone, it creates a new event on MobileMe and my MacBook iCal with the newest event info, leaving the old one intact. No duplicate on my iPhone.
