Hands on with Apple's MobileMe 1.1

Iria · Jul 28, 2008, 04:01 AM

Synchronization is hard. It may sound simple: copy personal information, such as contacts and events, between computers and keep them all up to date. But over the years, we've seen sync programs that don't quite work. I not-so-fondly remember manually deleting hundreds of duplicate contacts from my Palm handheld years ago, and even now, I run into records in which separate companies and individuals were long ago squished together into the same contact.

I must be one of the lucky few who hasn't had any issues. I'm sorry to hear so many people (well... 1% of the MobileMe users) are having trouble.

Finally decided to bite the bullet and use it. After uploading my contacts, most of them are "unnamed." Why? They are businesses with no "person" attached. Come on, Apple, that's silly.

Have you tried a re-sync? That may solve the problem.

NO, I found out by trolling forums, you have to go in and MANUALLY check the Business checkbox in each entry.
