idisk or mobileme webdav URL
Hello, does anyone know the right URL for using Apples iDisk ?
I've tried
https://idisk.mac.com/username/Public
https://mac.com/username/Public
https://idisk.me.com/username/Public
https://me.com/username/Public
https://idisk.mobileme.com/username/Public
and probably a few other variations, none of which work upon pressing the Verify button :(((
Thanks.

Note that http:// and /zotero/ are already typed and are not optional
This means you'll need to make a folder within your public folder called Zotero
You can also use a non-public folder, i.e. idisk.mac.com/username/Documents/zotero/
also http:// is used instead of https://
If I put it on public folder does that mean it is not protected. If I put it on the non public folder is it password protected, which I would prefer
Many thanks
Can anyone please help!?!?! I was so excited when I found zotero, but now it seems to be causing more trouble than it's worth!
There are gaps in the core functionality of citation but some of that lies with me being a Mac user. 1.5 has addressed a few critical ones. There are developments to come and it will take time before it is as elegant as we want but if you persist, eventually you will solve the problem. Let us wait for a response and see what happens.
ebradleyjohnson has it right. the webdav URL for iDisk is
http://idisk.mac.com/username/Public/zotero/
Since I don't have an iDisk account myself, I can't confirm whether you need to add a /zotero directory manually. My understanding was that Zotero does that automatically.
As for security, it's all a question of what iDisk allows. If they use regular webdav, the URL would use http://. If it's secure webdav, you would select "WebDAV (Secure)" from the drop-down menu in the Sync preference pane. That will automatically change it to https://.
What I now have in my mobile me account are a lot of zipped folders with meaningless names. What could I possibly do with that file structure? Can I back up from it?
A future version of Zotero will allow for uncompressed file syncing, but there are technical difficulties with supporting that on disparate WebDAV servers (and via slow upstream connections).
FYI I think that there is a London UK user forum coming up. Can you point me to the details? I would love to meet other users and get some ideas - problem shooting

Protocol is WebDAV
URL http://idisk.mac.com/myusername/Public
username - my username
Password - my mobile me password
But what gets loaded up looks funny and I doubt that I can use it - but it is there
FYI I find sync not working since 2.05 so I will see what can be done with that too

idisk.me.com/username/Public
The .mac has changed to .me
I keep getting the error message: the server idisc.me.com could not be reached
Could anyone give me some insight as to what the problem could be so that I can have Zotero, which I love using, ready to go for the coming school year.
