    iOS 7 - Batting 0 for 3

    Changes to Contacts and Calendar

    I thought I had read somewhere that there was going to be updates to both contacts and calendar in ios5. Contacts would allow more than one work number, more than 3 emails etc. (I use Google sync, not iCloud if that makes a difference) I also thought that they were adding a week view to the...

    Windows XP and iCloud

    I understand that iCloud will not work with my XP computer. I sync my calendar and contacts with Google, not itunes. I have very little music on my phone and all of it is copied from CDs I own.
