I bought the .mac service. As I understood it, I can use my "idisk" as backup or restore folder. I have 5 or 6 files I update every day an excel and they are very important. I'd like to be able to update/edit these files, even when I do not have my mac with me. How would I go about doing this?

A. Way wrong forum.

B. You can get to your iDisk in two ways:

Mount on desktop in Finder (open hard disk and iDisk is listed)

Go to .Mac web site and log in and click iDisk to get to a web-based version.

for 99$ you can buy a huge 2-4 gig usb drive and back up to that. .mac is seriously overpriced for what you get.

You can use it for email too, but its way to expensive.

i think the website for .mac is Apple .Mac

the idisk can be opened from a finder window. double-click on the drive on your desktop and in the window that opens in the top right side should be something "Idisk"

if its not there, then hit command-, and go to the sidebar prefs, click on the idisk thing.
