13.2. .Mac

This pane is of no value unless you've signed up for a .Mac account (Section 5.4.2). This pane offers four tabs:

• Account . This is where you fill in your member name and password for your .Mac account, if you've subscribed. If you're not yet a member, you can click the Learn More button to get started.

• Sync, Advanced . Here's where you tell Tiger which elements of your digital world (calendar, address book, email, and so on) you want synchronizedvia the .Mac servicewith a cellphone, iPod, Palm organizer, or another Mac.

• iDisk . The Disk Space graph indicates how full your electronic iDisk is. (And if it approaches your limit of 250 MB, a Buy More button lets you pay Apple for the privilege of gaining more storage.) The "Your Public Folder" controls let you specify whether or not other people are allowed to put new files into your Public folder (a sort of Internet-wide Shared folder), and whether or not outsiders need a password to see what's in your Public folder.
