As long as it's snappy!

Syncing is the only complaint I have.
One computer syncs to "the cloud" fine, the other 2 continue to get errors and not sync.

P.S. and I tried every tip from the Mac Observer's MacGeek Gab who were repeatedly trying to solve this same problem over a series of podcasts.

@MacRaven: maybe u need to wait for a more 'cloudy' day?

MacRaven:
go to http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/, and start a chat session and an Apple staffer will walk you through resetting your MobileMe sync files, which can get constipated somehow. My MobileMe sync got flummoxed, stopped syncing, then with the Apple staffer's help, got it reset. It is not difficult, makes total sense, but does involve using Terminal to purge some framework files. Good luck

MDN MW: deep, as in deeply into my iPhone

Tide us over while we wait for Snow Leopard. Can't wait!

I am so over the snappy reply. Do people really laugh at that anymore?

Nobody laughs at the "snappy" thing. Snappy is the "First Post" of MDN.

So that makes "First Post!" the "snappy" of MDN? Isn't that a bit recursive?

It really has begun to bother me how sloppy reporting --specifically poor use of words in writing -- has become. Case in point above: Snow Leopard did not "hit the market in late October 2007" at all. That statement implies it is for sale! The author goes on to say that it will be released sometime in the coming months, but why confuse the issue? I get bugged by the same sort of mis-communication that occurs when tech pundits write about "market share" and "installed user base" as if these terms are interchangeable. Or like when some people have reported that the new Safari has "broken" such-and-such plugin. As Jon Gruber on Daring Fireball *correctly* writes, how can the Safari update "break" a plugin when it doesn't support plugins to begin with?

Okay, so I'm an idiot for sloppy reading! The author wasn't talking about SNOW LEOPARD at all. He was was writing about an upcoming update to LEOPARD (10.5.7). So my rant above was triggered by mis-reading on my part. So sorry!

I like, and still giggle at, "snappy".

KWW, is it that "time"?
I understand.

I just hope Apple fixes the stuff that broke with 10.5.6 like: when it puts my USB thumb drive to sleep and only a restart (or a lot of UNIX diddling to mount it) will get it to show up on the desktop (a problem that other PowerPC users I see have been having), or my iChat camera either not showing up or claiming to be"in use" by another program, I guess I need to move over to an Intel box to avoid these issues? But I can "hope" 10.5.7 will fix 'em.

I'll be happy if they finally fix soft images in Preview.

I would prefer if Apple got on the ball and released SNOW Leopard....I guess SNOW Leopard will be as late to market as Leopard was.

Just my $0.02

I really do hope that connecting to a wifi network really does work. My MBP Core Duo could not connect to a WEP-enable wifi even though my iPhone could. I understand that WEP is not the most secure, but it's the only free one here at the base.

I've googled the internet on this. I'm not the only one with this problem. It's just crazy.

Cool, can't wait for service pack 57 for Mac OS X. I hope it fixes the sound driver and Bluetooth.

Can't wait for this, after everything Apple broke in the last two updates.
