Syncing with MobileMe
Wallet 2.5 added the ability to import or export your Wallet database to a .Mac account. This section goes over how to use this feature to its fullest.

Exporting to MobileMe

Use File ▸ Export ▸ MobileMe... to export your database to an iDisk. You will be asked to enter your user name and password. If you've associated a .Mac account with your system using the System Preferences, this information will automatically be filled out, and you can simply click "Log in."

If you need to manually access the database on your iDisk, it can be found in the "Backup" directory and will be named "Wallet Data.wallet."
Why export to MobileMe?
If you export your Wallet database to MobileMe, you can then access it with any Mac in the world (with Wallet installed!). This is useful for keeping multiple computers (i.e. home, office) in sync with the same Wallet database. If you own a MobileMe account and multiple computers, this feature is indispensable!

Importing from MobileMe

Use File ▸ Import ▸ MobileMe... to import a database from an iDisk. You'll be asked to enter your user name and password. Once again, this is automatically filled out if you entered it first in the System Preferences.

Once Wallet downloads your database, you'll need to enter the Wallet password from the computer you exported it from. All entries will automatically be replaced with the downloaded database.

Note: You can't import a database from an iDisk if you did not export to it first.
