Re: iTunes & iPhone 4 OS Upgrade

As to exactly what or why, I can not say, but the iOS needs the support of iTunes to do what it does.
You will find that you may not be able to update the iOS without updating iTunes first, until you reach the level where you can update iOS over the air, which I think is about iOS 5.0. You may still find that you need to update iTunes to make use of some of the features.
You can try to update the iOS without updating iTunes, but my bet is you will get a dialog box saying you have to update iTunes.
Note, I come from the Mac side, but the software for you and me comes from Apple.

This is not the original article that I saw on this, just the first one that I pulled up. I hope our good neighbor, Canada will join in on this. I would hope Mexico would also join in, but they have bigger problems that stolen cellphones. It would be nice if this were global.
http://phys.org/news/ 2012-04-wireless -disable- stolen.html
In April, Federal Communications Commission (US) announced that "the four leading carriers had agreed to set up their own databases of stolen phones within six months."
"The system announced Tuesday relies on a centralized database that officials hope to be operating within six months. The database will record smartphones' unique identifying numbers. That way, wireless carriers that receive a report of a stolen smartphone will be able to recognize the device and block it from being used again."
"Cellphone carriers covering roughly 90 percent of U.S. subscribers are participating, the FCC said."

Try downloading to iPad Overdrive application directly rather than transferring from the Mac.

Overdrive says it needs "OverDrive Media Console.app" which is an iMac application.
I tried downloading to the iPad and so far I haven't found anything I want to read. Apparently the iPad and the iMac use a different library.
I'll keep trying.

Hi
Can anyone help to locate a company that has an application and hardware for receiver, for a iPhone to control servos on a model plane up to 2 km away.
Like this one (it only has 100m max transmission). I want up to 2km
