Well dont have an i anything

But I was given a goodie bag from Apple a while back(We are in the middle of a big Deal at the moment) but chucked it in my laptop bag (a dell) and now its sitting in a box awaiting to go to phill. So I may have owned some i wotist for a while

hi dave, both me and my son updated the software and it corrupted our itunes, we called apple support and they admitted the the version 3 is a bit buggy, they told us to save all our songs and reinstall itunes.. my son did that and now it works perfect.. i just kept on synching and it seem to work now too... moral of the story is dont be too quick to update.... when i updated some of my apps wont work too... which is highly annoying... but iphone i think is still the best phone in the planet

I was hoping the resync would work for me too, but sadly not.

I had an issue with 2.2 where even if fully charged when I went to bed, the ipod would be dead by morning. A quick factory reset sorted that problem though!

I was hoping the same would work this time. Damn that age old cure of rebooting failing me! It always works so well in work when I have to fix someone's PC!

Sorry I have no Ideas. But will speak to Staff of Apple I have to meet in the course of my work if an opptunity arises.

I have learned never be one of the first to upgrade software or firmware

Seems quite a few are suffering the same problem which in a way is good news and means there be an update soioner rather than later what with the samsung,nokia and palm rivals making the market a little more competive

Cheers for the heads up. I did have a search myself to see if anyone else was having similar issues, but I obviously didn't try hard enough

In a twisted way, I'm definitely happy others are experiencing the same issue. As you say a patch I'm sure will be on the way which is enough for me for now!

When I were so much younger than today, we didn't have mobile phones and computers, and we all survived. If you told someone to send you a text in 1981, they probably thought send the written pieces of paper through the post. If someone said "I'm on Twitter" back then, they'd probably laugh at you and call the police. Any mention of surfing the net would bring howls of laughter and "dont you mean surfing the waves in New Quay?"

As for MP3 players, I will NEVER buy an I-prod or anything made by Apple, Creative do excellent media players, and a much cheaper cost. Iphone 3G unlocked for £900 over on Play, need I say more.

Fair point fella, but then how can you clarify your point on brand choice of MP3 players by quoting a price for something that's primary function is as a mobile phone?

As for mp3 players, I-pods are always more expensive than other brands with similair specs, this is plainly obvious. With Apple products your paying for style over substance.

Maybe I'm a bit of a luddite when it comes to technology, but reliance on one product such as I-Phone for phone calls, music, contacts and calendars is crazy - what if that device fails or its lost or stolen?

Greetings Rob Sir.

Of course new Technolgy comes along, some of no use and others useful.
I know you are a keener user of I.T products as well.

Many technolgies im sure many on here have noticed are intended by the makers for one purpose but people find other uses. Alot of them so vital to many people on here.

Take the Webcam that made LDR's for many so much easier.

Human Kind surely is all about progression and dare I say it on this site evolution?

Even the MP3 (and many other formats) has changed the Wife and I's lives.
When the Wife was in Phill I was able to send mp3's, mp4 and jpegs.

To have sent audio,video and pictures to phill before computers would have taken weeks possibly longer.

It had many uses including helping my Wife have the chance to study spoken english for her Ilets. She had studied and taken the exam before possibly the media would have got to her.

Having an ipod/smartphone as well as for music she could study english wherever she was. Text books would not have helped and the portable wax cylinder most likely would have melted out in phill

Videos and pictures were taken of our local area in the UK so she knew it before she came here.

Not groundbreaking or crucial but helped my Wife

Twitter however bizzare the orignal use is, personally bloging is a bit sad to me if its just about your life but people have written diarys and even recorded personal events by carving into things for generations before that bloke to was born who gave me the mid winter and spring festivals off
But the actual technolgy is very useful in various ways ie for news as it happens even very local events or things happening thousands of miles away. As my Wife now keeps up with news in her local town
Twitter also is like a subject file in many twitters i recieve so if i want to read more i can go to a webpage or media hosting site.
Of course the best way using the gateways she can text with her family and friends for a fraction of the amount it would cost. While the missus can use her smartphone which untill sent over those in phill mainly cant afford they can communicate using a phone they can use with whats now simple sms on a old phone which costs 10 or 20 pounds

Many people in the UK have free texts and even data plus can afford the technolgy to use these as cheaply as possible. But many in developing nations cant so i celebrate Technolgy being adapted to make their lives just a little easier/better/less costly

The Wife wonders why i always provide her with smartphones (not iphone they cant multi task and the cameras a bit ) rather than some poser phone or crackberry. As others have mentioned they are cheaper than all the indivudal parts. My wife also is not going to want to carry around a mp3 player, camera, pda, netbook,dvd player plus a phone just on the off chance she needs one or many of these for a short while.

Maybe to us old we dont want to share with our friends the window displays in regents street and where we have been, but the Wife loves the fact she can upload pictures while out if need be. Share her life with loved ones and feel part of the family looking and sharing photos and videos

As well as the shared experience it also reasures her family that she is ok and not locked up in a cellar

Look at skype with the Wife in the UK, her mum in Italy and her bro and sis in two locations in phill. It is tough for them all being apart. But they can have free skype confrence calls while the Bro and sis at present are unable to roam and skpye.
The WIfe and her Mum can be literally anywhere a phone signal is and use a 3 skpyephone (which costs us nothing a week to run i might add with the new free skype to skype calls).

The one not mentioned is GPS. While i dont like all this locate me and let all my friends know where I am 24/7. Like the videophone most people want a degree of privacy.

Its reasuring to know that if the Wife did get lost she does have a way of letting me know where she is or finding her way even if she dont know exactly herself.

If anything Technolgy makes life just a little bit easier for those apart and for that reason alone I celebrate it.

Quite right there young Andy.

The point I was making about having everything in one device is that you risk losing everything should that device be lost/stolen/unrepairable. Now, as a retired DJ, I always kept the audio mixer, amplifiers and cd players as seperate units, so if one should fail, I can get a replacement in place very quickly. If however, the DJ has all of this in one unit, and the equipment decides to go belly up during a gig, everything is lost. I apply the same logic to these all-in-one communication devices.

Now moving back to the I-phones, the IT person in me says, well, as long as everything is sync'ed or backed up to external sources, the case for IPhones is quite good.

My Sony Ericsson W610i, being nearly 3 years old is capable of storing and playing music, can handle email via the IMAP protocol quite well, and has calendar functions, etc. It has a strange function where it can make phone calls as well, whats that all about

It confuses me why people want to upgrade, upgrade their phones all the time, but whatever floats yer boat.
