So I recently discovered (as in today) that my mobileme account’s calendar was not synching up with my MBP.
I found it rather odd, so I removed and re-added my calendar thinking that might fix it. It didn’t. It gave me a “forbidden” message instead.
Turns out that when the “geniuses” at Apple (RIP SJ) decided to turn mobileme into icloud, it also made it so that I couldn’t sync my calendar.
Want to know why I can’t sync my calendar?
Because I only have Snow Leopard on my $1700 MacBook Pro.
In order to get icloud, I need OS X Lion. In order to get OS X Lion, I have to pay Apple $30… do you get where I am going with this? I paid close to $100 for my yearly subscription to mobileme for the ease of use and I was debating if it was even worth the cost just to have my email and calendars on all of my devices.
Now icloud is free, sort of.
Sort of being that I have to pay $30 just to upgrade my OS X so that I can use it.
Sorry, I didn’t realize that when I gave you upwards of $2k 2 years ago that I was going to have to pay to continue to use my MBP properly.
Seriously?
