there in the libray. you can pick and choose what you what in your phone.

Can you do that with a sync tho?
I know I can pick which I want but I manually manage my stuff (HATE the idea of syncing for some reason)

Got myself a trimmed down (UK maps only - 200mb as opposed to the 1.6gb full app) version of the Navigon sat-nav app, will give it a go when I finally go up to 3.0

I am so POed right now. I had purchased a (non Apple brand) A/V cable to connect my iPhone to my TV to be able to watch videos on the big screen. I had purchased it on ebay and it worked fine until I upgraded to 3.0.

Now, I get a message saying that the accessory is not compatible with my iPhone!

I'm amazed that the darn phone can recognize that the cable wasn't made by Apple.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Any suggestions?

Funny, I am petrified of manually managing my Ipod. I'm afraid I'll hit the wrong key and lose everything!

I'm going to need a lot of hand holding next month when I buy my first iPhone!

I downloaded an new app for the itouch and it said I had to upgrade to 3.0 to use it. I can't believe they want $9.95 for the upgrade.

I think there are some newer ones on ebay

The same thing happened to me on one of their previous upgrades

FWIW, you can use the cable on a Ipod classic or anything other then an Itouch or Iphone

If I am understanding the question correctly, yes. DH and I both have iPhones and I don't want roughly half of the stupid apps he has picked for his phone. When I connect his phone to sync it, I just go to "apps" and check the ones he wants. Itunes remembers it each time. If he makes a change on his phone (adds/deletes), it will remember that too.

I think its because you called it "itouch"

Blasphemy!

Okay, so I am currently updating my iPhone software to the new OS. I got the iTunes timed out message three times and then realized my Internet cut out for a second there. After cursing Jimmy, I then calmed down and saw that it is now activated. However, three of my Apps are not there. I am assuming I just sync and they should pop up again?

 

[*NikkiBell*]

Okay, I went to the App Store icon and they are updating and there. BUT, they are on the last page. Um, why?? The first page is full and the second page has only one thing on it. Why are they not showing up there???

I am quickly moving into panic mode!

I got it to work! I learned how to make the icons wiggle and move them. Woot! I just had trouble getting them to stop wiggling. ROFL

I had that problem. I disconnected it from my mac, powered down the phone. Started back up and reconnected to my mac and it worked fine. Hth

The reason your first page is full and your 2nd page only has one thing is because they added the voice recorder. That went to the first page, and they bumped one icon to a blank 2nd page.

Just will have to move everything around is all. I still have not done it,, but I am lazy.

WOOHOO! I learned how to do something else new. I made a DIS icon for my homescreen! SOOOO cool!

 

[smphbear]

I am in. My new phone arrived today.
DH who was picking on me also got his. I am pretty much set up. Thanks for all the great tips and apps that you are suggesting. Keep em coming.

I had mine for 5 months before I realised I could actually do that

I noticed in the Apple Store that one of the iPhones had a BBC link so thought it was an app...it was only when I accidently clicked on something while looking on Safari that I worked out how it was done!

 

[*NikkiBell*]

I absolutely love that feature! It is beyond cool! Anybody else have neat little tricks like this to share? I Googled a bunch last night and couldn't find much I didn't already know.

I got the new one last Friday and I have been playing with it like mad. I already had an iPod touch so I had a ton of apps and had that all setup.

What I did have to figure out, however, was how to make my own ringtones. Currently with how they have it setup, you must 1. purchase a ringtone-compatible song from iTunes and 2. convert it to a ringtone (you select the 30 second segment) which costs you another $.99.

I think I have read this entire thread and not seen mention of this before...but I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a tutorial on how to make your own free ringtones from the songs you already have in iTunes? It's surprisingly easy. What takes the longest is choosing your 30 second segment.

Apologies if it has already been posted.
Have a great day!

This is an Appleinsider story about 3Gs browser load speeds. It is 3x faster than the 3G with the 3.0 update.

Must resist, must resist.
