“MobileMe Control Panel is required to manage iDisk settings and for syncing of contacts, calendars, and bookmarks on a Windows PC,” Apple explains on the Downloads area of its website. “This update includes support for the MobileMe Calendar beta (Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010 are also required),” the company states, disclosing the changes delivered with version 1.6.1 of the utility app.
The Mac maker continues to provide a description of its cloud-based service saying that, “MobileMe is the online service from Apple that automatically keeps your email, contacts, calendar, bookmarks, and more in sync across multiple computers, your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and a suite of web apps on www.me.com.”
System requirements for MobileMe Control Panel version 1.6 are Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP Home or Professional SP2, Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook 2003 or 2007 for calendar sync, a MobileMe Account, and iTunes 9.2 or later, according to Apple. iTunes 9.2 delivers support for iPhone 4 syncing, a function for organizing books and apps on a device’s home screen, faster back-up process and album artwork improvements. There’s also a security side to iTunes 9.2 that addresses three vulnerabilities that have been recently found in the software.
