Mac OS X Update for MobileMe 1.1
We all know how rocky the transition from .Mac to MobileMe has been. It now seems to be working for quite a few folks (at least to some degree), and Apple has already pushed out an update for the service. The Mac OS X Update for MobileMe 1.1 is available now through Software Update. Note that if you aren't yet seeing the update, try signing out of .Mac via System Preferences and then back in again -- you should see a dialog asking you if you want to download the update.
As per usual, the notes are sparse, but it is recommended for users of 10.5.4 and "includes general system fixes that enhance your Mac for MobileMe." Let us know if it improves things for you.

MobileMe is working well for me. I haven't tried the 1.0 solution so don't know if this is better or not. On my work computer though I got blocked off with silly "non-standards" stuff, saying that I should update my QuickTime and watch the intro tour. Gotta love how he pronounces "MobileMe Mail" though ;-b

I still cannot sync my calendars, Todos or contacts. Sometimes it works in one direction (from Mac to MobileMe) but not the other way around

I've been checking the support forums on Apple's website, and people are talking about the push technology only working both ways with the iPhones/iTouch, from MM to a Mac and not from Macs to MM.
Anyone knows different?

OK, no matter whether or not I sign in or out, I'm not getting the update. I didn't get the original update from Software Update either, I had to find a link to it in the Discussion forums on Apple's page. WHY isn't Apple just posting the updates in their support section, like they do with their major OS and application updates? All this crap is starting to wear on everyone's nerves, just make it work!

It will not update for me. Someone sent me the direct install package link for 1.0. I opened system prefs and still will not update. Any suggestions?

According to one thread I read today, they had a support chat with apple, and they said that the update was pulled, and that people should only download the version from software update, not in the wild links, as that may increase unreliability. the .mac control panel will work fine. (it does for me, 10.5.4) Calendar push is working Mac to Mobile Me. The mail should be even simpler -- but I don't use it. PUSH is built into the IMAP protocol.

I still don't get the update on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.4. In my System Preferences, I still have ".Mac", but it seems to do everything properly with the MobileMe settings.
On my MacBook Air, where I downloaded and installed the file to updated it to MobileMe (not via the Updater) on Thursday, I _did_ get the latest update when I ran Software Update.
Strange. I'm not used to this inconsistency from Apple.

Oh... I just opened System Preferences again and an Update window opened with the update to Mobile Me! Now both my Macs look the same.

I got the update... but my system prefs show only 5 GB of disk space... even in idisk. However (when I can get) online, I've got the full 20 according to my account. Odd.

I had the same thing - go into the MobilMe website and go into your account settings. Change the allocation for mail to something different and then save it. It should make your prefs on your mac update. You can change your mail allocation back afterward.
