MobileMe Needs Time Machine

I’m frustrated with MobileMe synchronizing again. I have no idea what happened but around 10:00 am this morning my Address Book has a duplicate everything. All the groups are duplicated, and every contact is duplicated. They are identical, with one exception, the pictures. So now I have 2x the real number of entries and they are all whacky. These are all rolled down to my iPhone already too.

Now, I can get back to healthy pretty easy with Time Machine and I’ve also started doing a weekly archive of my Address Book “just in case”, but I thought syncing for MobileMe was supposed to be improved in 10.5.6?

This made me think, Apple needs to implement Time Machine on MobileMe. I should be able to just login to MobileMe and go back to a few hours and make it all better! MobileMe and Time Machine would be like chocolate and peanut butter. Makes total sense.

Wow, yeah I’m just finding this out. I just bought a Mac when my PC died because I just loved how the iPhone just works and so far I’m in love with the Mac too because it just works like it should. There’s no forcing me to know what I can’t possibly know without reading a million pages of PDF’d text.

Anyway, this is a big slap in the forehead for Apple; it should just work.
