It takes only a minute or so. Not that difficult and certainly better than paying $1.29 for a clip of a song.

As well as the flexibility of converting ANYTHING to an iPhone ringtone.

I go to www.myxer.com and set up an account for free and then I can create my own ringtones for free and they work just fine on my Iphone. I can also download free ringtones there too!

Enjoy!

I really like myxer too. I downloaded Soarin over California as a ringtone tonight. Free!

I use Myxer too, got myself the Psych theme as a ringtone from there last week

... so I've joined the collective DH just bought me one for our anni and I my iPhone

I've just finished reading all the posts on this thread but it was worth it for all the fab info - thx a mint all!

The timing seems great to with Gmail Push just coming out this wk, and a new iTunes, it looks like.

When I stuck my sim card from my old phone, the contacts moved. I synced Google Contacts, Calendar and Mail - it went very smoothly. However, I can't see the contacts that were on my old phone in my iPhone Contacts. I can see most of the numbers I'd need in Skype but is there a way to copy the Skype number to the general iPhone contacts? I don't mind doing them one at a time, when I need to call someone as eventually the most frequently used ones will be moved over. Any ideas?

cheers,

Welcome to the collective!.

I love my phone too. Unfortunately, I have no clue how to help you but I am sure someone here will have some good advice for you.

Has anyone had trouble with their calendar function with the Iphone? WIth Outlook specifically? I enter dates and then find that they have mysteriously disappeared.

So far I haven't missed a date, but I fear the day ...

Thx a mint for the welcome Reid & Anne!

Wow, this thing is beautiful!!! Everything works so seamlessly I figured out my contacts ...separate lists were created for my gmail contacts, contacts from my old phone, and both lists together - sweet that the lists are separate as my gmail contacts have associates I haven't contacted in a couple of years but don't want to delete in case I do need them but it would have been a pain to have to scroll thru them all everytime I wanted to phone someone (stopping to take a breath on the run-on )

Apart from Favorites, is there a way to make groups on the iPhone? I have groups set up in my Gmail contacts but they didn't port over

cheers,

No problem here - I assume you are using exchange to sync calendars.

I have not had any problem. If anything I find syncing flags up any differences between the calendars

I have groups in Outlook but not found a way to sync them into the iPhone

On my iPod I just cycled thru star rating, show notes, volume, etc.

I can't figure out how to see the show notes when I use my iPhone's iPod. I read on-line that a single tap on the show should bring it up, but it just starts the show. There's nothing to cycle thru on the volume/rw/fw bar. With the top right "i" I can see a list of all the podcasts and the star rating but no show notes.

Appreciate any tips as not being able to do something that was so easy on the iPod is making me feel

cheers,

Wow! I am not so sophisticated. I am just thrilled that it syncs through exchange and that I have my whole work directory all ready there. With my blackberry it synced with my computer only and I had to manually add people from work.

I am not having any problems with my calendar.

I would still like to figure out how to make the phone compatible with hearing aids.

Hi everyone, I am visiting WDW in November from Australia. I am going to bring my new iphone with me but I am a little concerned about the heat and humidity affecting the phone. I will have it in an otterbox defender case to try and protect it and of course I won't leave it sitting in direct sun or anything. Has anyone had any issues with the heat/humidity causing problems in Florida with the iphone?

We visit there often and never had a problem with the heat/humidity affecting the phone. I know that several of the folks on the PodCast have iPhones and they live in the Orlando area.

Glad I finally found something to contribute...

Toy Story Photo Hunt is a free app with a fun picture matching game

I'm really looking fwd to the TS double-feature 3D release - get the small soda as I heard the intermission has outtakes

Gonna love watching the game today without having to run to my PC during the commercials to see how my fantasy team is doing Gotta the iPhone

cheers,

HELP!

I received a CD copy of music, I loaded it and see it in my itunes library, but it's not showing up when I sync. An ideas?

I think it depends on the podcast. For the Inside the Magic podcast, I get the shownotes with a single tap. I wonder if they have to load them for that to work?

I am getting an itouch for my birthday and it should be here in a few days.

I am brand new to ipod anything, but saw my boys' itouches and thought it looked pretty neat. Before I go through this whole thread for nothing- do most of the aps people have posted here work on itouches too or just the iphone? I can't get the phone because the monthly cost is way too much to justify. Our family uses pay as you go phones. Thank you, I'm a complete newbie about all this!

Many apps work on both the iPhone and the iPod Touch. Read the description of the app before downloading. If it doesn't say anything about not working on the iPod Touch, then chances are it will work.
