After a lot of work, and many loops in following your instructions in the
OS X Missing
Manual, I finally got enrolled in an iTools account, including email
and iCards, but the iDisk still eludes me. When I feel that I'm almost there,
and I click on the iDisk icon at the Apple site, I'm informed once again that
I just have to use one of the methods in your book, such as Finder -->
Go --> iDisk (starting from scratch), and none of this works. Can you help
me, please? On the whole, I enjoy your book, as well as
your articles
in The New York Times.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Robert,
I don't know for sure why you can't bring the iDisk onto your screen
from the Apple Web site. This is really a question for Apple. But I
have two questions for you:
Isn't it easier to choose the iDisk from the Go menu anyway (or just
press command-option-I)?
Are you aware that in a few weeks, Apple is going to discontinue the
entire iTools program? At that point, you'll be able to use the iDisk
only if you're willing to pay $100 per year--an extremely unpopular
decision.
