Well, you can spend most of your time chasing down passwords and account info if you aren't using a password manager to track that stuff. Tonido makes it very easy using the instructions I posted to simply set up a new account and start again. The website will let you know if you're picking a user name already in use. Also, you might need to uninstall the version of Tonido running on your computer and reinstall it in order to set up another account. I just did this on my Windows XP computer and it worked well.

I thought I'd post a tutorial of what I did to get the app working and accessing the files on my computer. To those who don't know, Tonido Software is Personal Cloud software, which simply means that it allows access to all your files in your computer or device on which it is running. You can then use the Tonido iOS app to access the files on your computer from your iDevice even when you are traveling provided you've left that computer running. The overview of how Tonido works is explained on its Getting Started page which is found here: http://www.tonido.com/support/display/docs/Understanding+How+Tonido+Works The main points from that page are: 1. You install the Tonido Desktop software on the main computer that has all the files, media that you want to access 2. You then create an account to access that computer. Say you create an account called "jane_homepc", then the URL to access your computer becomes "http://jane_homepc.tonidoID.com"; 3. You can access this computer from anywhere (as long as the computer is switched on) via a web browser by typing the URL "http://jane_homepc.tonidoID.com"; 4. You can access this computer from a mobile phone running Android, iPhone, iPad, iPod, Blackberry, Windows Phone by installing the "Tonido" app from the mobile app store or marketplace. 5. You can sync files from other computers to the main computer by installing the Tonido Sync2 client. This will synchronize the contents of one folder in all your computers where you have installed the Tonido Sync2 client. 6. All the above features are completely free. I followed the above steps and have access to all the files on my Windows 7 computer using the Tonido app. You can download the appropriate computer server software for your operating system from the Tonido downloads page here: http://www.tonido.com/tonidodesktop_downloads/ For my windows 7 computer, I clicked on the Server link from the downloads page and then clicked on the Tonido for Windows link to download the TonidoLite.zip file. After extracting the files in the zip archive to their own folder, I executed the tonido.exe file within that folder to set up my Tonido account. You must provide an account user name, password, and email address. The user name is important because it becomes part of the URL used to access your account and computer files with the mobile app. For example, if your user name is janedoe, the URL to access your files on your mobile device will be http://janedoe.tonidoid.com. When creating my account, I accepted all the defaults but you'll need to do as you like. Tonido Support will send you and email after creating your account with the URL used to access your account files. Here's how I set it up on the app: 1. I launched the Tonido version 7.3 app. 2. I executed the add button which I believe was in the upper left corner of the main screen. 3. The screen which opens contains several text boxes including a URL one already containing http:// and you type in your user name followed by a period followed by tonidoid followed by .com. See my above paragraph for the URL example and remember, it will also be provided in the support email. 4. You will also type in your user name and password in the appropriate boxes and execute the okay button to connect. 5. I had no problem connecting and could then see all the drives on my computer as well as categorized file items such as music files, documents, and videos. I don't travel often but Tonido will be a great resource for accessing my files when I'm away. I tested it by playing a couple of music tracks from my computer and they sounded great. Good luck and post back with any questions.

I won't ask again after this time - PROMISE! Carol P - UK Forgive this question. I did send about a month ago but got no replies, but I know others on this list were using Tonido.
