Apple rolls out more MobileMe fixes

The improvements were detailed in a support document published to the company's website Monday and include the following:

  • Long event titles now appear properly in Month view

Gallery

  • Updated "Tell a friend" email message
  • Resolves an issue related to setting a new album's key photo

iDisk

  • Files and folder names that contain Japanese language characters now display properly on the web

Account

  • Hosting of iWeb pages can be configured for personal domains ending in ".eu", ".ax", ".tl", ".gw", ".kp", ".rs" or ".su"
  • Family Member accounts now display the accurate renewal/expiration date
  • Resolves an issue that prevented some members from using an activation key (MobileMe box) to renew a subscription
