Tips and Tricks

Upload pictures to your iDisk to create custom iCards

You can send iCards with your own custom pictures. Save your images as GIF or JPEG files and then copy them to the Pictures folder on your iDisk. Your images will appear as picture choices when you create an iCard in the Create Your Own section.

Start with a HomePage template to create your own Web page in minutes

HomePage has Web page templates that you can modify with your own text and images. For example, teachers can use the HomePage education templates to post recent class news, homework assignments, and other information for parents. You can also use the HomePage photo album and iMovie templates to share your pictures and movies easily with your friends and family.

Instead of using a Web browser to open your iDisk, you can open it directly:

mIn Mac OS 9, select the icon of your iDisk and choose Make Alias from the File menu. Whenever you want to access your iDisk, double-click the alias and enter your password.

mIn Mac OS X, click the iDisk icon in the Finder toolbar, or choose iDisk from the Go menu.
