FW: Re: iSync and .Mac account problem...
G'day, My iSync and .Mac problem is no more... Check out: www.mac.com and you'll see why. Thanks for warning in advance us Apple! 250mb (125mb email, 125mb iDisk) storage limit and 10mb email attachment is way over due. It just goes to show what people power can do as this forum has been going strong on www.apple.com discussions for some time now.

Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2004 00:18:02 -0500 I also had trouble, but I think it started Sunday night when I was trying to download an iTunes song and my password wouldn't work. I asked to be reminded of my password, but it didn't recognize my username. So then I went to dotMac to explain the situation in an e-mail, but have not received a reply. I've since bought the CD at the bookstore, so I don't need to try iTunes again for now. I still can't download my e-mail because it wants me to confirm my password, yet tells me it's incorrect. I paid dotMac's year membership nearly three months ago, and now it behaves as if I'm not in the system at all. Weird... Since I'm not really using that address yet, I can wait it out and see what happens. The scary thing, though, is if iSync isn't working. The first time I iSync'd my PB with my iMac, I erased the filled calendar rather than filling the empty calendar - not sure exactly what I did wrong there. However, that's the risk I feel I'm taking each time I iSync. It hasn't happened again, but it seems as if this sort of Apple glitch could cause that.
