Accessing Your iDisk From Another Mac

Because you can access everything on your iDisk from any Mac connected to the Internet, you don’t have to save files to a disk to move them between your home computer and your work computer, or struggle with emailing really large files. And because you can work on one file on more than one computer, you don’t have to worry about which version of the file is the most up-to-date.
 
iDisk stores the files you want on Apple’s servers, so you can access them from any computer connected to the Internet. You can post changes back onto your iDisk, so you know you’ll always have the latest version.
 
 
 
Tips Step-by-Step
 
 

If you’re using Mac OS X version 10.1 or 10.2

Choose Connect To Server from the Finder’s Go menu and type http://idisk.mac.com/membername (where “membername” is the person’s .Mac member name). Type the member name in the username field, and then type the password in the Password field.

Access your iDisk from another Mac by following these steps:
  1. In the Finder, open the Go menu, choose iDisk, and then choose Other User’s iDisk.

  2. Enter your user name in the Member name field and your password in the Password field.

  3. Click Connect.

  4. After a moment your iDisk will appear on the desktop of the computer you’re using.
