Can you now email from iCloud.com? Did you check to see if your me.com and mac.com email addresses got its third evolution of @icloud.com?
Log into Mail at www.icloud.com. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of Mail. Select Preferences then go to Accounts. In the middle of the Accounts screen, do you see something like this?
If you see an address with icloud.com, you’re all set. Send a test email to your account @icloud.com to verify it’s working.
Yes, Apple’s MobileMe is shutdown as of the end of June. Going to any MobileMe link, you’ll see this.
Interestingly though, it appears former users still have the opportunity to log in to retrieve files and photos on this defunct service.
For me, this shutdown means I have to go through old posts and fix all the busted images that pointed to my iDisk on MobileMe. Yikes!
Today’s the end of June which marks the official end of MobileMe. By now, you should have migrated to iCloud if possible, but there’s some stuff that can’t migrate over. And this non-migratable stuff will have an impact on Pulpconnection.
In the early days of pulp, I used Blogger as my blogging platform and .Mac’s iDisk to serve up image and movie files. But iDisk won’t make the transition to iCloud effectively busting majority of images on posts prior to January 2009.
I downloaded the megabytes of images but now have to figure out how to import them easily into the WordPress Media Library. The Grab & Save plugin could work if I had more time to go through each post. Add from Server seems like a better way to import a bulk of files. Regardless, tuning each post one by one is inevitable to re-associate the images unless there’s a plugin to redirect URL paths (at least as a temporary workaround).
I would like to create a static CDN setup – redirecting a subdomain to my media library and using W3 Total Cache to point there. Until then, that’s why older posts will have busted images.
Thought it was something I did, but looks like I ain’t the only one fighting with MobileMe passwords. Looks like the iOS 4.2.1 update triggered something. On top of that, there’s been that nuance of mac.com and me.com usernames – looks the same but I think they’re actually different.
Have to resync my computers all over again.
