  • Ibank Mobileme Sync
    iBank Mobile: Setting up Manual Sync via MobileMe Overview This manual will walk you through manually setting up iBank and iBank Mobile to talk to each other through your MobileMe account. The manual setup method must be used if your iPhone is not connected to the same local network as the Mac running iBank. If your iPhone IS on the same local network as your Mac, we recommend instead using the automatic setup covered in the iBank user manual. For these purposes, the local network means a wireless network such as the kind created by an Airport, Linksys, or similar kind of router. MobileMe Setup The syncing method detailed here requires that you are subscribed to Appleʼs MobileMe online service. This service is not provided or supported by IGG Software. IBank is simply one of the many great programs that can make use of the service to exchange data between your computer and your iPhone. If you are not set up with MobileMe, open your browser and visit http://me.com to sign up. A free trial is available, after which you pay Apple a yearly subscription fee. Terms and conditions are subject to change according to Appleʼs product policy. Going forward, we assume you have signed up for MobileMe, and you know your MobileMe username and password. In this document, I use my own username, jstaloff, as an example; you should use your own instead. 1 IGG SOFTWARE, LLC iBank Mobile: Setting up Manual Sync via MobileMe Configuring your Mac to connect to your MobileMe account Open your System Preferences (under the Apple Menu), and click the icon for MobileMe.
