.Mac Bookmark Sync Deadline Extended to July 6
.Mac Bookmark Sync Deadline Extended to July 6
by , 8:45 AM EDT, July 3rd, 2008
Apple has extended the deadline for .Mac subscribers to synchronize their Bookmarks to July 6, giving users a few extra days to make sure they don't lose any Web page links they marked with the .Mac Bookmarks feature. Apple will be disabling .Mac Bookmarks as part of the transition into the new MobileMe service.
Once MobileMe launches, subscribers will still be able to synchronize bookmarks between devices, but they won't be able to use the .Mac Bookmarks feature that's been part of .Mac for some time.
.Mac subscribers that aren't familiar with the .Mac Bookmarks feature, or aren't sure if they have synchronized their bookmarks if they are using the feature, can read Apple's support article that explains how to sync bookmarks with the Safari Web browser. TMO also has a Quick Tip explaining how to make sure your iCal and Address Book data is properly synced ahead of the MobileMe transition.
Observer Comments
I'm not happy about .Mac bookmarks going away. It sure is convenient to have my bookmarks available to me anywhere in the world via a browser. I don't always carry my laptop or iPod Touch everywhere. I have no idea why Apple would kill off such a simple but useful feature of their .Mac service. I guess that's one less reason to renew.
