MobileMe has had some trouble getting up and running. The push-data service from Apple is now stable and reliable, but far from perfect.

To that end, Apple has rolled out a few fixes and feature upgrades to its MobileMe service. Apple’s list of MobileMe enhancements and bug-fixes include:

Contacts

  • Searching for contacts in a large address book (more than 1000 contacts) is faster and no longer results in a “slow script” browser alert message
  • Exported vCards with multi-line addresses or notes can now be imported into the Mac OS X Address Book
  • Adds keyboard shortcut to create a new contact
  • Additional formatting options for European phone numbers are now supported

Calendar

  • Adds sorting of To Do items by calendar or title
  • Long event titles now appear properly in Month view

Gallery

  • Updated “Tell a friend” email message
  • Resolves an issue related to setting a new album’s key photo

iDisk

  • Files and folder names that contain Japanese language characters now display properly on the web

Account

  • Hosting of iWeb pages can be configured for personal domains ending in “.eu”, “.ax”, “.tl”, “.gw”, “.kp”, “.rs” or “.su”
  • Family Member accounts now display the accurate renewal/expiration date
  • Resolves an issue that prevented some members from using an activation key (MobileMe box) to renew a subscription

Login

  • “Keep me logged in for two weeks” checkbox now works reliably
