How do You update the .Mac service in System Preferences to MobileMe
July 11th, 2008, Hedi Regaya | View Comments
The Leopard Version of the MobileMe updater was posted by Apple a few hours ago, it wasn’t and it is still not available from your Software Updater.
But a strange thing happened… While it was possible to download the package from here, the link now, is dead.
I have no idea on why this is happening…
Anyway, one thing is now sure, Leopard won’t turn to iTunes OS!
A possible solution is to get it from a Torrents website, for example, this link takes you to a downloadable MobileMe updater.
The file is small: 25 Mb, once installed, you’ll have the updated MobileMe icon in System Preferences instead of the ancien .Mac icon (I’m still looking for the updater for Tiger).
If you check your Software Update after installing the file I linked you to, you’ll see the version 1.1 of MobileMe Updater!
I was expecting to see a small cloud in the menu bar instead of the old double arrows circle, but all I had was… nothing.

Sounds like Apple is taking the Microsoft way out. Rumor is that there is no updater for Tiger, nor will there be one. It will still say dotmac and it has been said that most (but not all) features will work. Sloppy Apple, very sloppy. I have already sent feedback in via the dotmac feedback page.

Since the Intel processors switch, Apple seems to be under influence of a wind of inspiration coming from Redmond… I also do think the same thing!
