Apple iPhone and related items (cont.)

If anyone does have an iPhone 4 and they want their free case/bumper:
  • go to the App Store
  • search for "iPhone 4 case program"
  • Download free Apple app.
  • Install the app
  • Open it on your iPhone
  • enter your Apple Store ID and password
  • a list of case/bumper options appears along with a gallery of photos for each and an estimated availability time.
  • Select a case
  • Confirm delivery address
  • All done
 
Don't do what I did and change your mind* then cancel the case you ordered, because the app won't allow you to order a replacement :D


* eight week delivery time

Bumpers only available in black - I wanted orange.

Plus I was handed a free bumper by store staff on the 25/6, so not too fussed about getting another

You have to actually install an app just to order a case? Bizarre. What's wrong with a simple web page?

I went for the Griffin Etch which looked OK. Probably never use it as I am waiting for the Power Support crystal film for the iphone 4 to come out.

One small scratch on the back now, slightly annoying.

I suppose it's a way of confirming you own an iP4 by checking against the serial number - who knows, it's difficult trying to second guess Apple.
 
I'd imagine that's exactly what it is - without having to verify millions of proofs of purchase from loads of different sources.

I'm getting a refund, automatically processed apparently. I don't need to do anything. Wow. Course, it would be much, much better with a Nokia*. :D

*Sorry, not actually read Mr Wibbly's post, but that's what they normally say.

Apple appear to be busy censoring erotic literature from their Top Ten lists now: http://www.macworld.co.uk/ipod-itunes/news/index.cfm?olo=rss&NewsID=3233368

Reading the Telegraph article , it says they removed "Blonde and Wet, the Complete Story" and substituted Peter Mandelson's new book!

Which is worse?!

Safari porn? Who the fuck even reads erotic literature?

In regards to scratches a day on the beach has left my mams phone scratched to fuck, toughened glass my cunthole, I have a coupleof scratches on the back of mine, gonna see if I can buff them out with toothpaste and keep the fucker in a sock til I can get a case that's not fucking ugly. If not I'll be contacting o2 for a replacement.
 
I wonder if we'll ever get to a stage where scratched and worn out tech toys look cool like beat-up old guitars and 'distressed' looking t-shirts etc.
 
Is it just me or is there no way to listen to an album properly on the iPhone if each track is by different artists? I.e same album name but each track by a different producer (compilations).

It doesn't show up in compilations either, I can make it into a playlist but it won't mix properly (Tekno mix complilation specifically)
 
Completely bonkers!
How the iPhone Became Divine: New Media, Religion and the Intertextual Circulation of Meaning
Texas A&M University

This article explores the labeling of the iPhone as the ‘Jesus phone’ in order to demonstrate how religious metaphors and myth can be appropriated into popular discourse and shape the reception of a technology. We consider the intertextual nature of the relationship between religious language, imagery and technology and demonstrate how this creates a unique interaction between technology fans and bloggers, news media and even corporate advertising. Our analysis of the ‘Jesus phone’ clarifies how different groups may appropriate the language and imagery of another to communicate very different meanings and intentions. Intertextuality serves as a framework to unpack the deployment of religion to frame technology and meanings communicated. We also reflect on how religious language may communicate both positive and negative aspects of a technology and instigate an unintentional trajectory in popular discourse as it is employed by different audiences, both online and offline.

I don't think I ever met anyone in the real world who called their iPhone a Jesus Phone, so fuck knows what this paper is going to be about.
 
After much gnashing of teeth over which phone to get with my upgrade, & thorough reading of the threads on here. I've plumped for the iPhone 4. MrD has a 3Gs, the baby likes some of the apps, by likes I mean stops her crying ;) I also reckon if I don't get on with it, if I sell it I should get a fair amount back.

I think I've bolloxed up my phone number change over by not taking my sim card out of the old card 1st, *impatient emoticon*, but I'm gonna ring O2 up about that later.

My main problem is with iTunes & I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I have an oldish toshiba laptop that has 2 hard drives C & E. C is pretty much filled to the limit & E is just over half full. I thought I'd installed iTunes to the E drive, there is certainly a folder there & when I click the itunes icon there it initiates it. I noticed when I was syncing MrD's phone the other week, it made the tiny amount of memory left on the C drive even tinier & stopped doing other things, i.e. it reverted the windows colour scheme back to basic & I had to delete tons of stuff. It already has an updated version of software/itunes it wants to download, but there isn't space on my C drive. I can't seem to get it to download onto my E drive, it doesn't give me any option . . . & I don't know what to do . . . if anyone could point me in the right direction please? :confused:

I'd happily remove MS Works of the C drive, if anyone knows how . . . & any other superfluous windows stuff I don't need.

In iTunes, make sure that you have the Compilation and Continuous Play options selected on the Options tab for the album.
After you've done that it should appear in the Compilations list and segue properly.

Well I went down T-mobile yesterday afternoon (after my mate was showing off his Samsung Galaxy S - very nice phone, I couldn't see the pixels on that one either), they'll unlock my old phone and sell me an iPhone 4 for 90 euros, not the greatest deal but fuck it. Up to an 8 week bloody wait for it though (the iPad only came out over here last week).

I just want to run Spotify in the background while I browse, this is what I'm most looking forward to. That and more speed.
 
Ok, did a search in the forum for '4.0.1' and it didn't show this up so I'm adding it. Sorry if its already been spoken about.
There are massive amounts of people now without a phone due to the new update with me being one of them. The new update has totally fucked my phone and countless others as well. It just gets stuck whie updating and then can't be started again. Its stuck in some sort of loop. I have tried everything advised on the Mac Forums and have even gone to the trouble of reinstalling iTunes and it won't fix itself. Just got off the phone with the provider and am taking my phone in to the shop tomorrow. Looks like i'll be getting a new one, again. I'm almost out of contract so am wondering whether I should barter a bit and get an upgrade. I'm also considering leaving the iPhone. I've had one for 2 years now and feel like I could do with something else.
But think twice before updating and check the Mac Forums for information on it.
 
I'm updating a 3g (I know, it hardly seems worth it, the poor thing :( ).
Thanks for the heads up. I have tried all those ideas accept turning off the internet while its updating. Sound strange enough to work :)
And yes Ed, I've just been reading the HTC Desire thread :D, it looks good. Interestingly Android phones are only available through Telstra down here. Anywhere else in Australia this would be a bad thing but up here in the wilds Telstra are by far the best provider and have way more coverage than anyone else.
Its definatly worth a look. Apple have really pissed me off with this. I'm sure I'll be 2 weeks with out a phone again now (I washed mine about 12 months ago). I'm beginning to feel slightly uneasy about all the iPhones I see everywhere. Its a bit weird. What did you call it in the other thread? iBorg? LOL :D
 
Saying all that though, I do get a slight sense of fear of having a phone thats not an iPhone :D

Just rechecked the website you suggested but it was about updating from 3 - 4. My problem is 4.0.0 to 4.0.1. Never mind though. I think that a few days with out a phone could do me some good.

You could try a restore (after syncing and creating a backup) and then copy everything back- I hear this is a better way to do it as some people have had problems with battery from an update...
