Re: dotMac & download page

[Ronda Brown]

Hi again Adrian, I strongly suggest you restrict access to your Public Folder by Password protecting it. By default, any file you place in your Public folder is freely available to anyone who knows your MobileMe member name. To protect your Public folder with a password: 1. Go to the MobileMe pane of System Preferences (Mac OS X) or the MobileMe control panel (Windows). 2. Click the iDisk button. 3. Check the Password-Protect Your Public Folder box. A dialog appears where you can enter (and confirm) a password. (If the dialog doesn’t appear automatically, click Set Password.) Optionally (under Mac OS X), click the  icon to open Password Assistant, which helps you select a secure yet memorable password. 4. To change the password, click the Set Password button and enter the new password.  (Disabling and then re-enabling the password protection option will also prompt you for a new password.)

Once again any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Hi Adrian, Dot Mac is no longer, it has been MobileMe for quite some time. You should have MobileMe in your System Preferences, where you set up your preferences & you will see the address of your iDisk Public Folder where you can set a password. You Address will probably be http://public.me.com/adrianskehan <http://www.apple.com/mobileme/tutorials/#idisk-share> If you are still seeing .Mac in System Preferences: I see .Mac preferences in System Preferences.  How do I change that to MobileMe preferences? Mac OS X 10.5.x: If Mac OS X 10.5.4 is already installed, open System Preferences, click .Mac, and wait a few moments.  You should see an alert that .Mac is now MobileMe.  Click the Software Update button, then download and install the MobileMe Update For Mac OS X. If you have Mac OS X 10.5, 10.5.1, 10.5.2, or 10.5.3, update to 10.5.4, then install the MobileMe Update for Mac OS X. (You can continue to use .Mac preferences in the meantime). <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1932> Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro  Intel Core i7 2.66GHz / 4GB / 1067 MHz DDR3 / 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200rpm OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au>
