Marta,
The iDisk isn't good for a complete backup, it would be way too slow
if you have on your machine the amount of "goodies" most of us do. I
used iDisk for the personal settings to make the system work but I
used "BACKUP" for everything else. Now that I have gone to Leopard
that has disappeared but if you are a dotmac subscriber then Backup is
available where you can configure the program to backup to a firewire
drive on the schedule you wish and copying the files you want included.
This will give you a complete backup the first time then daily
incrementals. I used it for at least a couple years and it worked
fine. Every so often I would wipe out the firewire drive and then
do a full backup to start the process all over. I assume this is
still available for those that don't have Leopard?????
On the iPhone update, I let them wipe it out but then I did the
settings when 2.0 was finally in place for the iPhone to again sync
the various items I wanted, then hit the "apply" and it was done.
You will love 2.0, don't hesitate just be sure that whatever you have
on there now is stored in iTunes or iPhoto, or Podcast, etc. etc.
(you say you don't have anything anyway so you really have nothing to
lose).

Can somebody enlighten me a bit as to the synching with macs running
Tiger still?
I in no way will turn all my computers into leopard, there are too
many things I don't want to miss in Tiger,
so, I guess I will still get my iDisk as was, instead of the cloud.
Anything I should know?
I also got a message when I tried to sync my iPhone. They want me to
update it to version 2, but are warning me i am to lose everything
as to photos and itunes and movies which I don't have, so I declined
until I could confer with this group first.
I do have photos set on manual, though, I don't want my whole iPhoto
migrate unto my iPhone. This for your info. Maybe that has something
to do with the updating issue.
