With the new MobileMe Control Panel for Windows version 1.5 you can assign your primary MobileMe calendar to sync with the default calendar in Microsoft Outlook.
Any other MobileMe calendars you have will continue to sync with Outlook and appear as separate calendars. The new control panel also delivers improvements for syncing bookmarks between Internet Explorer and Safari, and provides compatibility with
Windows 7.
If you are already using the MobileMe Control Panel, you can simply upgrade to iTunes 9. This will update the control panel automatically. If you are installing for the first time, follow these instructions.

One simple way to increase the security of your life online is to change your account password periodically. You can change your MobileMe Account password at any time by logging into me.com and clicking the Account icon. On the Account page, click Password Settings, enter your current password and then a new one, click Save and it's done. (See this help article for tips on picking a good password.)
Don't forget to enter your new password in the system settings for all the devices where you use MobileMe services. Use the MobileMe System Preference (Mac), the MobileMe Control Panel (PC), and the Mail, Contacts, Calendars section of Settings (iPhone and iPod touch) to enter your new MobileMe password.

Should you ever forget your MobileMe password, go to the MobileMe login page at me.com and click the Forgot password link. You'll be taken to a page and given the option of resetting your password by answering a secret question to establish your identity. It's important to have a secret question and answer that others can't guess or research, but you can easily remember. You can change your security question and answer by logging into me.com and selecting Account, clicking Password Settings and then the Show Security Information button. Here are tips for picking a good secret question.
The other option for resetting a forgotten password is to have an email sent to an alternate email address with reset instructions. This only works if the email address is active so you'll need to remember to change it if you switch to a different one. You can do so by logging into your me.com Account page and selecting Personal Information.
