Since fixing MobileMe flaws is all the rage these days, this week's post tackles the problem of vanishing contact and calendar events synced to your mobile device via Apple's online syncing service. And I'll also turn my attention back to smart flash drives, the subject of last week's post.
First, the MobileMe tip: If you sync your contacts and calendar events via MobileMe, you may encounter an unsettling symptom: the contacts and calendar events on your iPhone (or iPod touch) may vanish. This should be less likely to happen as Apple stabilizes the MobileMe service, but it may still occur. If it does happens to you, don't panic. Your data has almost certainly not been lost. What has precipitated the apparent loss is a temporary disruption of the MobileMe service; your data will be restored to your iPhone after Apple "resolves the issue." Check the MobileMe Status page for updates about such disruptions and their fixes.
Sidekick: The Good News & the Bad News Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
