iPhone apps S/D

Yeah I tried that but then couldn't figure out how to get a direct URL

ok so I'm not going to update my touch to iOS 4 anytime soon (2nd generation, reports are that it will act badly after update, & I'm happy with its present behavior/capabilities). But some of my apps are being updated to require iOS 4. Obv. I don't want to update these apps. But in iTunes, next to Apps in my library, it now shows a 5, indicating that I've 5 apps needing updating, & I don't want to update them. How can I get this number to go away w/o updating?

I'd think you can't. Hell, there's a bug that causes iTunes to say you have X number that need updating when you don't have ANY that need updating, so you'll probably have that anyway.

Anyway, I have a touch 2nd gen, it seemed a little slower at first. Then I read about some basic thing to adjust, turn off location services or indexing or something, and it's fine. Not as snappy as it used to be, but works fine.

the new version of ios4 is much better.

yeah i have a 3GS and had no problems at all. be brave and update. you can always restore.

No you can't!
I seriously regretted updating, to the point where it basically convinced me to get the iPhone 4
Now the ios 4.2 seems to speed up the 3G considerably so I'd still update in yr case

that makes no sense to me!

iphone 5 number number one wish feature - mobile hotspot capability

mobile hotspots are here for some users. they'll be enabled on a carrier-by-carrier basis, often with ridiculous surcharges

google: at&t iphone tethering

or maybe you mean hotspot for multiple computers, instead of tethering to a single computer?

i have the spend 2 app on my phone - i really wanna start using it for budgeting but i have no idea how to get started. the FAQ just tells you how to perform functions, but not the way it suggests you're actually meant to use it. For instance, does anyone know how the inactive and active budgets work? I take it I enter my wage packet into the Available slot, and then monthly outgoings, but I am not sure I'm doing it properly.

i seriously don't understand iTunes either - I've always used WinAmp to play music off my computer which has my collection all put into nicely ordered artst/album folders. Why would I want iTunes to reorganise everything for me whilst skipping out a bunch of tracks (for reasons inexplicable?).

just to fuck with your head

you can tell itunes to leave your existing folder structure alone if you have your own system but this isn't the default

Anyone have experience with these djing apps? Is cue play dj the best?

lukas, yes i meant wireless hotspot for multiple computers. verizon have this on their android phones.

righto

Not strictly relevant to this thread, but does anyone know why, having transferred all the ppodcasts of a series to an Iphone4, it will only allow me to access the most recent three?

It's then telling me I have get more from itunes BUT I'VE JUST COPIED THEM ACROSS FFS!

go to phone, settings, podcasts. it's default is last three, you can change it

VLC out for iPhone/Touch today!

That AR SOT app looks sweet.

does VLC stream or run media off the device? if the latter, than i am very very interested.

You sync stuff to your phone (using an obscure menu in iTunes) and then you can play your divx rips, etc. I'm going to try it out tonight.

Haven't tried the iPhone version yet but the iPad one works a treat *except* jumping forward or back a few minutes is a really imprecise, annoying art.

WHAT??? DIVX ON IPHONE?!?!

this makes up for the Toronto election results

You sync stuff to your phone (using an obscure menu in iTunes)

Explain please

app menu in the phone section of itunes, scroll down, you'll see a list of apps that accept file transfers - then just drag and drop the files you want to upload onto the phone

Jeez

Tried it out last night. Works fine for SD rips. It wouldn't really play a 720p file. I imagine it is not using the video HW, so the battery life will suffer. Maybe I'm wrong, tho'.

wondering if my ipad will handle 720p files

Doubt it. The iPhone 4 has more memory and as least as fast a CPU as the iPad.

noob question. if you have an iphone can you keep docs on the phone (eg a cv) and attach them to emails in mail.app?

loving all the (free) modular synth apps

Ooh ooh which ones??

he said all of them

Cozen: drop box app can send a link to a file, and pages on iPad can email the file, but I haven't seen iPhone equivalent

moogfest (it's embedded in this event app)
NLogFree

do you guys have anything else like that (i know dr3w listed some upthread but those are pay and i am cheap!)

thanks stet, seems odd that the iphone can't handle something so simple natively but I guess allowing it wd have other more complicated remifications

*ramifications

I can't remember but did I read something about the Nintendo DS Korg cartridge DS-10 coming to the iPhone? Maybe I'm making it up, but that thing is amazing.

My favorite electronic music app is this little guy, who never fails to crack me up:

noob question. if you have an iphone can you keep docs on the phone (eg a cv) and attach them to emails in mail.app?

You can pretty much do this with FileApp. Transfer files to it through iTunes in the way baaderonixx describes them then email direct from FileApp. Doesn't go through mail.app as such, but I don't suppose that's essential to you. Is that what you wanted?

GameDev Story is totally worth it, if I haven't made that clear yet

I am totally not going anywhere near that thing. Unless the price falls below $3 maybe.

it costs the same as a pint. do it do it do it.

do it just for the puns.

Does anybody know of a fun abstract visual/musical app? I'd love something for Louis to play with.

I tried the Eno app but it's not quite what I'm looking for.

Just something where you can create cool tracings of light with your fingers or something.

Try Line Art for visual

Sorry, messed up link.

And maybe Soundrop more for audio:

Both are free I think.
