it Safe Mode

My iPhone 4 has gone to 'it safe mode' recently 2-3 times! Why?
Draw Free is new app. Don't use phone for games very often. Could this be the problem?

New iPad

Having seen it, I am wanting to get the new iPad and my husband will take my iPad 2. Can I expect to walk into an Apple store and buy it, or do I still need to preorder and have it delivered? I got my current one at the Apple store and appreciate that they helped me get it set up.
Also, I bought Applecare with my current one and haven't needed. It is a lot of money. I've seen on this list that there is another extended warranty that you can get on line but I don't recall which one.
Thanks for any direction.

Carol,
The new Warranty is AppleCare + it sort of insures for accidental damage. If you drop the iPad and break the glass, etc for $50 they will repair/replace it.

I think you are talking about the SquareTrade warranty.

The new AppleCare+ warranty essentially matches the "other" -- Square Trade -- except you get to deal directly with Apple instead of a 3rd-party repair service.

It depends on the store, but I think most Apple Stores have had most units in stock. Mine has both times I went there recently. Of course that can vary day by day.

You should be able to go in to an Apple Store or Best Buy and buy an iPad 3 gen easily enough. You're doing what I did. Get myself an iPad and give my iPad 2 to my hubby. We didnt get extended warranties on our iPads. The one that comes with it is good enough.

Mine was purchased on line and I picked it up at the Apple store 1 hour later.

Add iPhone power to your DSLR with Flash-Dock

Sent to you by Brent via Google Reader: Add iPhone power to your DSLR
with Flash-Dock via AppleTell » iPhone/iPod touch/iPad by Kirk Hiner on
4/16/12
pocketDEMO has released the Flash-Dock, a device which connects your
iPhone (or any other SmartPhone) to your DSLR camera via the
flash-socket, or "hotshoe adapter." And why would you want to do this?
Well, to share and geotag your pictures, for starters, but also to use
as a light meter, as a depth of field calculator, as a level, and more.
We'll let pocketDEMO give you the details directly:
Geotagging with .GPX files: SmartPhones have a built-in GPS and most
DSLR don't. SmartPhones can record tracks into a file called a "GPX
file". That file is then read by iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Photoshop
Elements, Picasa and most photo library software's. What these
softwares do is, merge this GPS data with the metadata of pictures
taken during the photo-shoot. It is simple and free.
Geotagging with bluetooth: Some add-on devices like the BlueSLR are
plugged into the DSLR GPS connector. Since SmartPhones also have a
Bluetooth connection, they can send in real-time location information
to the camera that in turn will geotag pictures. It works the same way
as if there was a GPS receiver plugged into the DSLR, only cheaper.
LightMeter: SmartPhones have cameras and light sensors. Both combined,
some smart developers have managed to create Light Meters that perform
very well. They do require a calibration with a real light meter, but
passed this stage, all the fotographer needs is a SmartPhone.
Depth Of Field calculator: These apps let the DSLR user calculate
precisely the sharp area before and after the subject. These
calculators take into account the lens type, the camera model and
aperture to give a very precise value.
Level: Photographers have used levels for years on their tripods and
now some DSLR feature an electronic horizontal line. However, some
cameras do not have this feature and people can now monitor a level
even without a tripod. Typical accelerometers inside the SmartPhones
have an accuracy of 0.1, more than enough for a level functionality.
Microphone: The latest DSLRs all have video functionalities. However,
the sound is often not in par with the video quality. SmartPhones on
the other hand are made to deliver good sound quality with ambient
noise cancellation and remote recording. Another good example of
combining DSLR and SmartPhones.
Vibrations monitoring: What sort of vibrations does the shutter bring
on a DSLR? With Seismometers apps, photographers can visually see and
record the vibrations brought by their set up and correct it until
pictures are taken completely still.
Flash-Dock is available now for $39.99 (USD) or 34.95 Euro.

Re: Lost talking book files, found

I had problems with Google Voice. It worked fine in the beginning, then all my calls went to GV without me doing anything. The message I recorded with them got all garbled up. About half the calls I got didn't even ring my phone. They went to voicemail. I got the messages in my email. Every time I went to retrieve my messages fromGV, there weren't any....yet they always showed up in my email. I got more spam calls than anything with GV. Took forever to shut off GV also. So I gave up with GV and went back to just getting calls the regular way.

Thanks :-) As you use the iPad 3 gen, you'll notice the clarity more and more. At least I did. I didn't see it as a WOW right at first.
