Setting up a new iTools account
When you set up Mac OS X, your iTools account is set up automatically. 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.
