Where'd the pictures in my .Pictures folder on my iDisk go?

Where'd my iDisk go?
I was uploading some graphics to my iDisk today and noticed that the .Pictures folder was empty. That shouldn't be. [There's more, but not on my iDisk.]

I went to the web site where most of those graphics are used, and they all still load (even after flushing the cache.) The rest of my iDisk appears to be empty as well — nothing in the .Sites folder (though the web site in there still loads fine) and nothing in the .Documents folder.
Is anyone else having the same problem today?

I was actually going to post a question about iDisk alternatives (other than x-drive), but things like this give me the worries... I wish Google would get into the industrial-strength remote file storage business...

Anyway, any luck finding your files? Maybe Stevie ate them in preparation for his big keynote tomorrow...

Apple has them somewhere, I suppose, since they're all still loading where they should load. It's a mystery, though.

Upgrades to 1 GB for everybody? That would be pretty nice.

Why don't you ask on Apple's support site? They're far more likely to have an answer than we are.

This has happened to me sporadically over the last year or so.

They always reappear in a day or two.

Grab a copy of Goliath. It's much better than using the Finder.
