Setting up a new iTools account

If you set up other users for your computer, go to the iTools Web site to set up iTools accounts for them, then give each user a member name and password to enter in the iTools pane of the Internet preferences. New users can also sign up for their iTools accounts using the iTools preferences pane.

Using iDisk to share your files with others

Other members who know your iTools member name can easily view and copy anything in your Public folder. However, no one but you can add or change anything in this folder. If you prefer, you can publish your photos, movies, and documents on the Web so that anyone can access them, regardless of the computer they are using.
