Getting Control Over Your MobileMe Renewal
It's important to note that it's critical to renew or extend your MobileMe subscription AS CLOSE TO THE EXPIRATION DATE as possible. Apple doesn't allow multi-year subscriptions, extending your renewal date. You really need to enter a purchased MobileMe code near or on that date to avoid interruption of service - and be critically AWARE of your expiration date to time it effectively. Adding a reminder to iCal or Entourage calendar is wise. You can find your Moible Me expiration in OSX System Preferences - and control Auto-Renew by logging into www.me.com by UN-checking the renew check-box.
