I installed it the other day. Excellent game!!

It's a quiz game but with a twist, you play a match against an oppenent and if you win you go on to the next round of the finals.

The other team seems to get a higher score as you move on thru the finals. I've made it to the semi's but have never made it to the prelim or grand final yet. Questions are pretty good, there seems to be a good mix of the old and new, though some are pretty hard. Definitely worth a $1.19

Speaking of dropbox, has anyone tried dropvox? I'm using it atm and it is a very useful app. I've always had issues transferring voice recordings to my computer but this one does it in one go. What it is is dropbox and a voice recorder in one. It records then sends straight to your dropbox account and can access it from anywhere. handy app.


A question for some of you, has anyone had issues with their loudspeaker? When ever i contact anyone, i can't speak on loudspeaker as the other end can't hear anything? Is this an issue with anyone else? I have no issues with headset or my speakers but it's an issue with speaking on loudspeaker!

Another day, another rumour.

I wanna hear some iOS 5 rumours.

 

[red+black]

iOS 5 will not be compatible with the iPhone 3G or 3GS.

You need a wifi connection. Go to a Macca's.

Apple developer conference was this morning.

iOS 5 will be a free upgrade, and contrary to some early rumours, it will be available for the iPhone 3GS.

http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html

One interesting new feature is that it is no longer mandatory to have a computer to activate and set up an iOS device.

 

[FIGJAM]

So long as iCloud doesn't suck balls like MobileMe, it's going to be pretty sweet for those of us in the iOS/OS X ecosystem (cue iH8ters having a sooky lala).

 

[NMFCMUFC]

lol this iOS will cripple a 3GS.

 

[King Elvis]

Yea, probs, but you don't have to upgrade to it.

I'm just waiting for the new one anyways, then my 3GS can go bye-bye.

 

[red+black]

^^^ same

And when that time comes, Three Mobile can get firetrucked.

It has been an absolute joke that you cannot purchase a phone and start using it without having a computer with itunes on standby! I guess Apple have done their job of forcing every household computer to have itunes on it.

I still think they need to do more with the home screen, especially on the iPad, those boring square icons waste beautiful screen real-estate which could be used in a much better way! Widgets are the way to go, even MS are implementing "live tiles" if you check out their Windows 8 demo (better versions of the WP7 tiles).

Preaching to the converted! How long will they persist with just square icons and folders?

IMO, this will be one of the "Big Features" in iOS 6.

They will release a new iPhone next year which should be a pretty big update over the 4 and whatever the new one is called (much like the jump from 3G to 4). Plus unveil a new iOS with alot of "new", big features that users will have to have.

Getting pissed off with iTunes now. Haven't been able to use my computer lately due to the charger not working. Now I've got it back I decided to download some music. Now the iTunes is doing the whole "synced with another computer" bullshit.

No matter what I look at on google it won't work. **** I hate you apple.

Jailbreak is the answer

So, I download songs from iTunes on the iPhone. Great. Downloads, automatically organises into artists lists and is fine. One day, press artist and nothings there. The only way I can get to the purchases songs is through "purchase" in the playlists menu. They're only listed there by date of download.

How to get the shit back and in order the way it was, listed under artists etc? Can't find the answer anywhere.

My iphone stopped appearing in iTunes a while back. Have googled for ages for no result. Any ideas?

Does the PC/Mac recognise it plugged in?

@Northbhoy: Can't help with that. Hardly ever buy digital music, and if I do, it has never done that.

 

[jo172]

What happens is that pop up comes up saying how do you want to view files, but I can't recognize it as a disk drive in my computer. It does charge.

I can also sync parts of it by using the "sync iphone" button in the file menu. I just can't view it in the left hand bit of iTunes.

 

[sblack]

Have you tried different cords?

Maybe try un/reinstalling iTunes and therefore all the drivers that come with it.

Yeah done all that. It's quite frustrating, only started happening in one of the last operating system updates.

 

[sblack]

Open up Services, and check that the Apple Mobile Device Driver has started.

It might have been disabled somehow. Would stop iTunes recognising it, but the PC still would, which sounds like whats happening,
