.Mac Review March 17, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

.Mac is essential program for everyone to have. With all of the types of data that is backed up through the Backup application and the Sync portion of the program, there is not enough statements of gratitude that I can mention. With the new added features, Steve Jobs and Apple have outdone themselves and Microsoft again! Photocopy this program Microsoft!!

I love .mac March 15, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful

I'm totally new to the mac as of October 2007, and I'm so glad I switched. I think .mac is so cool and easy that I can't imagine why every mac owner doesn't get it. I manage 5 websites now for myself and friends (e.g. when one has a new baby), AND I HAVE NO WEBSITE DESIGN EXPERIENCE. iWeb '08 + .mac = EASY. And the .mac web galleries are great too.

Yes, I'm aware that most of the services included in .mac are free other places. I have flickr and picasa and youtube, I do all that too. But I think $100/year is worth the simplicity and easy of use for this kind of hosting.

I don't use .mac mail (why be tied to Apple when you can have gmail). I sync my contacts, etc, but since I only have one mac, that isn't really helpful.

Basically, I think that the easy-website creation + .mac web galleries are worth $100 a year. Amazon's price is even better.

Also, I've bought several domain names from godaddy.com, so that I don't have the (somewhat) ugly .mac domain names. Steps:
1. Buy domain from godaddy.com (e.g. www.sallylovesapples.com)
2. Go into godaddy settings (i.e. "My Domains")
3. Click "Fowarding" so that you can forward people to the ugly .mac domain (so that when people type www.sallylovesapples.com they will be forwarded to www.mac.uglydomain.com)
4. Making forwarding "enabled" and copy paste the ugly .mac url
5. Check "Moved Temporarily" (not sure what will happen if you choose "permanently")
6. Click the "masking" tab, and enable it (put check in check box), and write something pretty like "Sally Loves Apples"
7. Click "ok" or whatever
8. About 1-2 hours later, when you go to www.sallylovesapples.com (in your internet browser), users will be redirected to your .mac website, but they will never see the ugly .mac domain!!

Hope that helps. It's super easy. And you can get a domain from godaddy.com for about $7.99 for the first year ($9.99/year thereafter). Just google "godaddy coupon" and you'll find coupon codes.

If you have a MAC you'll need a .MAC account if you want to share family photos and videos with little to no hassle. Your family can log into your .Mac photo gallery (with their own password) and download picts or videos and transfer them right to their ipod. Great way to share photos.
