New MobileMe iDisk
Posted July 11th, 2008 @ 10:41pm by Erik J. Barzeski
I wish it was blue. Oh well.
P.S. I had to reboot my Mac to get this. Logging out likely would have worked too but I wanted to fix a USB issue ((After a brief power outage that left the Mac Pro on but not my Sound Sticks, I couldn't get sound to play from the Sound Sticks.)) that a log-out wouldn't solve, so I rebooted.
Update: My Mac Pro control panel lists only a 10 GB iDisk, but the MobileMe (me.com) site says I should have nearly 20 GB. What's up with that?

I had to turn off iDisk Sync (in System Preferences) and turn it back on again for all of the aliases (Web, etc.,) to work as expected.

I rebooted, and mine seem to be okay here.

Have you tracked down the iDisk icon in the system files? It has to be referenced somewhere- Photoshop Hue change!

True. Or maybe I'll just get in touch with my purple side.

It took until today for my iDisk to show as having 19GB of space (1GB for mail) on my Mac, whereas it has shown as 20GB on http://www.me.com/account since Friday. Well, when I could get in on Friday, for the odd minute or two.

It appears to be that way here as well right now, though my iDisk is behaving strangely. /Volumes/ lists several disks named "iacas-1" through "iacas-5" for some reason, as well as "iacas" which is aliased from "iDisk." Copying to the iDisk that appears on my desktop is incredibly slow - yet they appear online as soon as they're copied to the iDisk. I hope that's not how this is going to work.
I think at this point I'm going to remove the iDisk, reboot, and re-create it. My other computers don't have "iacas" and "iacas-1" through "iacas-5" in /Volumes/.

Unfortunately it's not a .icns file, so a simple replacement isn't an option. Icon Composer couldn't even seem to recognize the file.
I found true .icns files here.
