narc7 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Can I get a .Mac account with OSX x86? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dponmac Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I dont see why not.. I just signed up for a free trial .mac account on my XP computer, so I dont think it checks your system info.. but give the free trial a shot and see what happens.

evil-monkey Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 My .Mac account works just fine with OSX x86. Mail, iPhoto, Address Book sync'ed up great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yes you can. You can use a iMac account on Windows even, so the OS doesn't matter. Granted on Windows you can just use the storage space and email... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikos Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 evil-monkey, does the calendar sync up as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabr Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 What exactly do you get with a .Mac account? An email address? Like Hotmail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil-monkey Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Calendar syncs up as well. You get email, web hosting, online storage space, access to online tutorials. It's a great service if you have a mac but not really that useful for no Mac users. It intergrates well with OS X and the iLife stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 What exactly do you get with a .Mac account? An email address? Like Hotmail? for the Mac, you get email accounts (can't remember how many), personal storage space, web page creation tools, freeware/shareware apps, backup utility, photocasting, group support, sync services (different from backup), and tutorial access to a whole heck of a lot of things. For Windows, you get email and storage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
