Apple’s MobileMe suffers more downtime
To try and improve the stability of MobileMe Apple made some updates to MobileMe and have detailed it in a support document “MobileMe: About the Late-September 2008 MobileMe update”
The following are some of the highlights and important points of the document.
This article provides more detailed information about some recent improvements and the resolution of known issues that Apple delivered in the Late-September 2008 update to MobileMe services.
Apple is always working to improve MobileMe. Since MobileMe is primarily a server-side, or “cloud”-based, service, the MobileMe team can make improvements and push updates to MobileMe without any action being required of MobileMe customers. Since server-side updates are a bit more innocuous than a standard software update to Mac OS X or Microsoft Windows, it’s easy not to notice that updates are occurring. Usually the only hint of these updates is that things just “work better”.
The document doesn’t talk about the changes/updates/improvements that Server/Network Administrators would expect. But never the less, it does show that Apple is aware of problems and wants to fix them.
