.Mac Bookmark webaccess going away July 6th

by Scott McNulty Jul 2nd 2008 at 5:45PM


The above message has been posted to the .Mac Tips website. As you can see .Mac members are being told to sync their .Mac bookmarks to a computer (Mac or PC) by July 6th because web access to bookmarks is no longer going to be supported in MobileMe (.Mac's replacement). The July 6th date is actually a few days later than the one Apple first gave in this KB article (June 30th). It looks like Apple wants to give all .Mac members as much time as possible to get their bookmarks in order.

Does this mean we'll see the official launch of MobileMe on the 6th? Probably not, since Apple has stated that MobileMe will be available on July 11, but then again Me.com email is already being properly routed so this might all be part of a soft launch (as they say in the biz).

Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

.Mac services are still running as usual, the bookmarks are still available from a web browser (as of the 7 July).

Did Apple say July 11? The site just said "early July" and they have a button that lets you sign up to be notified when it's available. If they had just set a day whey would they say "available soon"?

Hold the iPhone...

"MobileMe will let you easily access your bookmarks from anywhere by syncing them across all your computers, and pushing them over the air to your iPhone and iPod touch"

Did nobody else read this line!?

Yes, but that means you can access your bookmarks only from computers that are synced. You can no longer access your bookmarks from any computer via the web (as you could with .mac).

They are not getting rid of this feature, it's a part of MobileMe.
"If you have more than one Mac, you can use MobileMe to push email, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks".

I get the @me.com mail already, but it isn't vein pushed. I guess that requires the 2.0.

I don't understand why they have to discontinue this service.
