The iPhone Collective

I apologize if this has been asked, but I have done a thorough search and can't find a verified answer. Is there a way to do DIS chat on your iPhone? I have enabled plug-ins in the settings but when I click on the Chat link, I basically just get a blank screen. Anyone know of any options or apps that would work for this? Thanks in advance.

Anyone notice their local Apple store no longer selling screen protectors? Not that it makes much difference since you can buy these from just about any place these days.

HELP


I jailbroke my phone and it has worked fine except for a lil slow, but today I realized I couldn't post on updates from facebook. So I deleted it and then tryed to download it from the app store tonight, but it said already installed even though I deleted it, so I thought I would shut it down and restart the phone.
Now the phone wont power up fully the apple comes on but only for three or four seconds then it goes blank I can shut it off while the apple is lit but nothing else.
I tried hooking it up to itunes to see if I could just restore it but my laptop wont recognize it, during the short time the apple sign comes on.
I cant take it to an att store because it is jail broke right?

We leave for Disney in 13 days and I have no other phone

Have you tried a full reboot? To do that, you hold the power key and the home button for a long time. If the red bar appears asking if you want to turn it off, don't slide it. Just keep holding the power key and home button until the phone fully powers off. Then turn it back on with the power button.

I would be wary of taking it to an AT&T or Apple store if it is jailbroken, but maybe others here have other opinions on this.

yes I did what is more disconcerning is that itunes does not recognize it

I'm sorry - don't have any bright ideas.

I did google it, though, and some people in this thread on the Mac Rumors Forums found some solutions that are at least worth a try. If these don't work, you might try asking over there, because there are lots of people with jailbroken iPhones:

Depending on what happened in the jailbreak, you may want to try plugging the phone into the computer running iTunes and leave it plugged in for several minutes. It might eventually recognize the phone.

Otherwise, did you try rebooting it by holding the HOME and POWER buttons?

If that doesn't work, then you may try going to an Apple store and fess up. They will void the warranty but if you get any sympathy they can reflash the phone back to the the current firmware.

Got it fixed, I had to restore through the fdu mode but I lost everything and had to upgrade to 3.1.3 I am thinking of downgrading. But I was paniced so I dont know I wanted it jailbroke so I could teather at DW.
Thanks all
so if anyone needs it you hold down the on/sleep botton and the home botton to 10 sec then let go of the on/sleep while still holding home for 10 more then i tunes will recognize it.

I'm not sure what you mean by wanting to use Outlook on your iPhone. Outlook is a PC desktop mail client. The iPhone equivalent of that is just the Mail app on the iPhone. You can set up Mail on your phone to use a Yahoo account.

Outlook also does calendar and contacts - is that what you want to do? You can set up your iPhone to sync with Outlook for calendar and contacts.

You will have to open a free email account like Gmail or Yahoo , then use the push function to have it sent to your iphone.

Ok silling question here. How do I back up my apps to my itunes. Is that what it is doing when is says backing up my phone? I am confused because as soon as I unplug it from Itunes everything on my phone disappears? If I sync my apps on I tunes it comes up with a note saying all aps will be erased?

Are you logged in to the same iTunes on both your phone and the computer? If not, when you sync, it's going to try to replace one or the other.

Currently my iphone mail in working fine. When I open my mail through outlook on my desk top my inbox on the iphone is cleared out and the those messages never appear in my inbox again on the iphone. So I'm guessing they go to a different server or something. I would like for my inbox to stay on my iphone so I can respond to them on the go. Thanks

Do you have the same problem if you see the messages first on your iPhone? Meaning if you see the messages on the iPhone first, will you still be able to see them later on Outlook?

I am guessing you have your email in Outlook set up for access via a POP server. When you do that, messages will be downloaded to your email client to your local computer and then removed from the server. Messages won't be kept in sync. There is generally an option you can select to "leave messages on the server," but that's not ideal either, because then you have to delete the messages from your different email clients.

What you want is to use your email through an IMAP protocol. Did you say you have Yahoo? I am not sure what the settings are for Yahoo. I would suggest going to their website and searching for the settings to set up Yahoo with IMAP on Outlook.

IMAP is definitely a better way to go, because you can keep your email in sync across different email clients, create folders on one client that will appear on others, etc.

 

[MM32830]

Las time I checked, Yahoo Mail does not support IMAP, not even with the Yahoo Mail Plus (the paid version).

I agree that IMAP is the way to go. That's how I get my mail on on my desktop and iPhone to stay in sync.

I would suggest switching from Yahoo to Gmail (which does support IMAP).
