Apple updates MobileMe’s me.com for Mobile Safari users

Hot Mac Deals Sale + FREE ShippingWhen you visit me.com via Safari on an iPhone or iPod touch, the experience is different than when you use a web browser on a computer.

Accessing me.com with your Mobile Safair device allows you access to the following items:

• A link to setup instructions for setting up Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Find my iPhone on your iPhone/iPod touch.
• A link to use Find My iPhone from a friend’s iPhone/iPod touch if you need to locate your lost iPhone/iPod on a map, display a message, play a sound, or remotely lock or wipe it.
• A link to download the iDisk app on the App Store.
• A link to download the Gallery app on the App Store.

Accessing the remainder of the MobileMe website (me.com) is not possible via Mobile Safari on the iPhone or iPod touch. However, you can access published galleries and iWeb published sites as normal:

• iWeb: http://web.me.com/membername

Adjusting MobileMe account and renewal settings must be done by accessing me.com on a computer.

  1. Try using FindMyPhone from an iPhone. Dare ya.

    It’s nearly impossible to zoom and pan without driving the map insane. The + and – buttons are way to small to hit, and when you use pinch zoom the map takes on a mind of its own. Apple needs an iPhone version of FindMyPhone. All they’ve done is provide you with a way to reach it from mobile Safari.

  2. @ Wingsy – I tried using FindMyPhone from my iPhone. Then I realized I couldn’t find my iPhone, so I tried to use FindMyPhone from my iPhone. Then I realized I couldn’t find my iPhone, so I tried to use FindMyPhone from my iPhone. Then I realized I couldn’t find my iPhone…

    …and somewhere, Captain Kirk is causing a computer to self-destruct with this exact same logic…

  3. I tried Find my iPhone for my spouses phone from mine and it worked fine. Only issue I had was no way to logout when I was done playing. On Desktop version, the logout button is in upper right hand corner. I couldn’t find it on my iPhone’s Mobile Safari page.

  4. “Accessing the remainder of the MobileMe website (me.com) is not possible via Mobile Safari on the iPhone or iPod touch”

    because Apple thought it would be ‘funner’ to use technology that isn’t available to all browsers, instead of making it just work ( ie good old-fashioned HTML )
