maggiespaws 0 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 The TomTom app is about £60 and if you and the mrs both use the same iTunes login you can both install it so it's buy one get one free ! Oh yes Yeah, she'll sync with my applestore account so that's perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 41318 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 a mate of mine replaced his screen himself, cost just over £100 to get the parts, you get all the tools with it, said it wasn't that hard to do. you know where he got the gear from Jimbo? my screen is cracked.... http://www.iphone-repairs.co.uk/ Cheers mate- Gent.

maggiespaws 0 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I also had to update iTunes to 8.2, Ive downloaded the update and am now applying it. Ive also found an edit to the iTunes registry that means you can sync without it prompting you to wipe clean first if its a different device / library. so, Ill be trying that next. Sorry to drap up a post from 10 pages back but - can you explain more about the above That will be ace for syncing my iphone with my work and home PC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 172 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Why not just set "manage music and movies manually" ? thats what I do, it then sync's apps and contacts etc but leaves you to move music and movies by just dragging and dropping within iTunes, much easier in my opinion.

maggiespaws 0 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Yeah, but itunes recognises that the ipod is synced with another pc though doesn't it? I'm sure I've tried that before. My 8gb ipod is set ot sync in that exact way and if I plug it into my work PC is askes to wipe it EDIT: Just had a thought - I have it set to sync certain playlists - I'll be that's why. I do manage manually, but certain playlists sync on connection. Will try that when I get home. Pick up the new iphone (hopefully) tonight - assuming the stock comes in. I had a nosey round the itunes store yesterday and there are loads of canny apps. Some nice stuff for guitars (tuners , chords etc) which will be nice. The TomTom software gets a mixed review... Might have to 'aquire' a copy and try before I buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiespaws 0 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Nooooooo! The O2 store I'm dealing with hasn't received their stock of iPhones. Can't get mine until Sat now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiespaws 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Right, my bottom lip has officially gone. My toys are nearing the edge of my pram and the chances of me throwing a paddy are increasing exponentially by the minute. After being told I'd get my new iPhone yesterday but it was delayed; today was the day. Well, today came and they only received Black 16gb 3GS and not the White ones. I originally wanted a black one but was convinced by the girl in the O2 shop that white was the better option as it doesn't scratch anywahere near as much. Looks like Tuesday or Wednesday now. Bastards got me all excited, I've read this thread, browsed the apps store and even got the missus excited about hers too. I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!

Gemmill 42638 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 White one sounds gay to me tbh. You'll want a case for it anyway, cos if you drop it on the pavement, the screen WILL smash. So scratching is an irrelevance. My mate had this little gay leather pouch that his used to slide in and out of. Dropped it when pissed and bust it. Mines in a clear plastic mouldy case thing, I've dropped it loads and it's fine. My mate now has a plastic mouldy case like mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiespaws 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Right, I'm convinced (not that it took much). Rung O2, and reserved the Black one and I'm picking it up tonight after work. I think I might get one of those moulded skins. Does that make them much bigger in your pocket? I know the missus wants a white one, but hers will live in her handbag. Mind you, if it has a skin on, the colour wont matter I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don't think the phones colour is going to make a difference when it comes to noticeable scrapes. I'd definitely get a cover for it if I were you. I've got a thick reinforced leather backing case thingy for mine. Much better than Gemmil's rotting plastic thing. Also bought one of those adhesive plastic screen covers to stop the scren getting scratched or prohibitively smeared or smudged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10429 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Are they bollocks, they're there to keep my iPhone looknig nice and clean, not like you and your tacky plastic moulded crap. So Fermé le Bouche Mother fucker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggiespaws 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I seem to have inadvertantly started a plastic/silicone/rubber or leather argument...... ........ which in itself sounds a little gay, or certainly a bit twisted Ant - that casemate looks canny. Are they strong enough to withstand me accidentally dropping the phone as it slips out of my pocket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6581 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Apple expected to announce a new release at some point today - strongly rumoured to be the new line of iPods possibly with a digital camera attached. They're supposed to be releasing their tablet computer, the iPad at some point soon too although this is expected to be next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10429 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Be Aware! Couple of weeks ago my daughters I phone stopped charging up. She took it to 02, who sent it to Apple, who claim its been dropped and want £139 to fix it. Today mine has stopped charging. (I am sure this will send some into raptures of joy that I will no longer be able to post while out and about) Anyhows, this does seem to be a common problem and as yet I cant see any remedy for it. Beware! Don't drop it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
