    Am I the only one with a brick thanks to 4.0.1?

    I had problems too. Couldn't upgrade, and then couldn't restore. The guys at Apple couldn't help, but then I did my own research and found that it could be the USB port. I switched my plug to a different USB port, and the install went smoothly.

    3G Microcell- when?!

    Just picked up my Microcell in SF today. It's still in the set-up mode, but should be going in 30 minutes or so. Cost $150 less $100 rebate, but you had to sign-up for the unlimited calling. Still unclear on the unlimited calling bit, since I'm now reading that it is optional. Well, maybe...

    Who's getting the new iPhone (2010 Model)??

    Not sure yet, but am already considering other options. If AT&T is still the only option (and it appears that way based on Steve's avoiding to talk about the AT&T issues the other day), then I will be jumping ship that same day.

    The Weather Channel

    Does anyone know how this application works? As far as I can tell, the application is useless because the data provided appears inconsistent and incorrect. For example, it is not unusual to see the current temperature being outside the forecasted range (e.g. current temp 58, High 72 and low...

    Best software for converting videos (DVD) for use on iPhone?

    ^^ so, am I misreading the following description from the website? 1. Remove all DVD copy protections, like CSS, CPPM, RC, RCE, APS, UOPs, ARccOS, RipGuard, FluxDVD, CORE X2, etc. Oh, I think I understand....the copy protections are different from the other protections. Is there nothing out...

    Best software for converting videos (DVD) for use on iPhone?

    I downloaded a protected video from the internet (had "DRM" in file name), and used DVDFab6 and handbrake to no avail. If I use Windows Media Player to open the ripped file, the video is scrambled. Handbrake doesn't appear to do anything; it completes the tasks, but no file results. I thought...

    iTunes doesn't see video?

    The problem is I'm an idiot. Apparently, you still need to import into itunes...having the files sit within iTunes doesn't tell it anything (not sure why, but anyways). fixed.

    iTunes doesn't see video?

    Ok, I'm trying to transfer a youtube video to my iphone. I used "keepvid.com" to convert the file to a "MPEG-4 Movie" format. So, the file is sitting on my computer, but itunes doesn't show anything anywhere. I moved the file to the various places on my local drive in several futile attempts...

    Announcing Vs. Releasing questions.

    You just need to make some remote correlation to an established fact. For example, I'm saying it will come on July 31st. That date is the 5-year anniversary of Steve Jobs' surgury to remove his tumor. Rumer is that he will celebrate the anniversary of his new lease on life by releasing some...

    best way to get it all: TV, Phone, and Internet?

    So, after seeing the monthly charges that magically hit my checking account every month, and now learning "a little bit" about Slingbox, Orb, etc, I'm wondering what you tech-savy folks are doing to get TV, Phone, and Internet. I'm paying $140 for the triple-play package at Comcast, and then...

    iPhone for 7 yr old?

    Maybe Mozart was a spoiled child? While I appreciate the arguments for and against a child having an iphone, I find it amusing that these arguments were likely used for every advancement our civilazation has experienced. New technology should only be available to those who can appreciate it...

    Advice to select cell number?

    I guess I'm not quite sure even how it works. When I got my first phone (sprint), I was able to select my number such that the last 4 digits were the same as my landline. I don't think that's even possible now. Do certain carriers have only certain prefixes? Are certain carriers more...

    Advice to select cell number?

    ok, since our cell phone numbers are very much part of us, and most of us try to keep them foreever, I would like some advice on getting the best one possible. It used to be that, when buying a phone, selecting the number was just a very brief step in the whole contract process. They had a...

    TiPb Birthday Bash: Win a mophie Juice Pack Battery Pack/Case for iPhone 3G!

    I've been needing to buy this for a while, so I'm thrillled at the chance to win one! Like most of us, the battery life on my iphone is insufficient with normal use. Since I'm always on the go, I have to constantly dock my iphone at every opportunity. This is very inconvenient, yet still...

    iPhone for 7 yr old?

    Thanks for the comments. I do understand that I may be sending a bad message by allowing her to get an iphone. Even if the price of the iphone is not an issue, teaching the value of things should always be an issue. And, of course, teaching responsibility, accountabilty, and hard work are...

    iPhone for 7 yr old?

    As the title says, what do you think? For background, my daughter has been playing with my iPhone since I got it last summer, and has wanted one ever since. She actually uses my iPhone WAY more than her nintendo. Mostly, she plays games, but also she listens to music and watches youtube...
