Is there a significant difference between Read It Later and Instapaper? I have Read It Later. Have not tried Instapaper.

There are differences. But you should use both to see the differences.

Re: Never-ending sync

Sorry to hear that. I've had to restore my iPhone 4 a couple times since I've had it. It's work getting things back to the way they were. What I found to be a big help is to take screenshots of how things are set up on my iPhone and save them somewhere on my computer. That way when I have to do a restore, I have references to how my iPhone was set up before restore.

The solution turned out to be — as I'd more or less feared — a restore. Ugh. No way to use a backup version, as that would have the same problem, so I'm still tweaking things. But my sync works fine now, so that's the important thing! :)

I don't remember how I got it set up but now that it is set up I have a credit card as part of my account. I add to the amount by touching the amount as of today and then it is fairly intuitive. You may have to add a credit car in settings>billing information>Then sign in [I don't remember how I registered]>my credit cards.add a credit card.

I just bought a new laptop and all I did was go to Google and download iTunes 5.0 then followed the prompts. It was easy with the 4 but more difficult for my husband's 3GS. He called Apple and they walked him through it -- has AppleCare.

Hello all,

On windows the easiest way to backup your itunes content (at least apps, music, videos) or transfer to another computer is:

Make sure you have the option "Copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library" set on iTunes "Edit->Preferences->Advanced"

Look for the folder "iTunes" on "My Documents->My Music" on Windows XP (should be close by on Windows Vista and 7)

Copy the "iTunes" folder to somewhere else (external HDD)...

On the new computer, copy back the "iTunes" folder to the same location as the old one.

Install iTunes. It will recover everything you have back. If it does not you probabily misplaced the iTunes folder.
In this case use "Search" to locate the folder that was just created by iTunes. Uninstall it, repeat the
copy procedure again, now to the righ folder, and then reinstall iTunes...

Works every time for me.

Re: Lost apps and music on 3GS - very frustrated husband

Posted by: "Carol" floridabouvs@gmail.com   floridabouvs

Sorry, the "cloud" comment was my attempt at humor, considering his state of frustration being over the top <g>. He had been trying to transfer his itunes account to a new computer and then upgrade to 5.0, and when he sync'd his 3GS, the music was gone. We tried several attempts to restore and even shut everything down and restarted. In the end, he went to Apple, as he has Applecare, and they talked him through it. But even they took a long time to figure it out -- something in his music settings, apparently. And after all that, he still is working off the old computer.
Thanks to all for the suggestions.
Carol

If you turn off the iPhone and restart it, and restart the computer, then try and re-syncing the iPhone, it should do it for you. Do not interrupt it, let it run to completion.

I don't mean lock it. I mean totally power down the iPhone, and then restart it. Where you have to wait while it shows an Apple logo, before it shows you the slider to un lock it.

You can, but it may be blocked by software on the SIM card from working on a iPhone. AT&T does that.

Camera on lock screen

Apple says one of the two jillion new features in iOS5 is that the camera is supposed to be available from the lock screen. Mine isn't, and I can find no setting to change that. Or is that another feature of the iPhone 4S?

Thanks.

You haven't tried double-tapping the Home button from the lock screen yet, have you?

In screen lock mode, double tap the Home button. You should see the camera button.

As you pick up the iPhone, double tap the home button rapidly. This will bring up the camera icon in the lower right corner.

Hubby got me an iPad 2 yesterday as an early Christmas present. I LOVE IT!!!

This thing is amazing. I'm so glad he got it for me. I do find though
that a lot of my apps are not iPad ready or they want me to buy them again.
Either way, I'm thankful for it.
