My iPhone sync has been a real pain in the ass for MONTHS.
If I just quickly want to add a podcast i’ve just downloaded, or add a new playlist or single song, it would take at least 10 mins.
5 mins of Backing Up
5 mins of Copying Applications from iPhone
x mins of Actual Sync
The copying applications [...]

iPhone sync taking a long time? Maybe a "manual" sync will help
Fixed: Unable to sync iPhone with Calendar/Contacts
Sometime after upgrading to iTunes 8.0.1 and OS X 10.5.5 (not sure when it started TBH), everytime I connected up my iPhone iTunes error’d with:
“iTunes cannot sync information with the iPhone “Macca’s iPhone” because syncing has been disabled on this computer. Do you want to enable syncing? (y/n)”
Weird, I thought. I haven’t disabled anything. I [...]
Wanted : Definitive iCal Entourage sync
Now that i’ve gotten hold of MS Office:Mac 2008 and an RSA Hardtoken (for VPN) I no longer need to use Windows at all for work or play. (I’ve also just ordered a new MBP through work, huzzah!)
Since i’ve got Entourage connected up to the Exchange server here at work, I want to be [...]
More iPhone chatter…
I caught this post on the BBC News site, which pretty much echoes (almost exactly ) my comments a few weeks back.
Some of the comments make interesting reading, people are so quick to jump on the ‘hate it ‘cos it’s a brand’ bandwagon. I really wonder how long it will take [...]
Quick iPhone wish list
With rumours of a pre-Christmas firmware update to 1.1.3, here’s my wish list. I’d probably forgo the Jailbreak for these – currently I only really use the MobileScrobbler app from the iPhone dev scene but i’m finding that it keeps logging me out and doesn’t cache track plays. Everything else seems to [...]
Reasons to Jailbreak #1
My foray into the world of jailbroken iPhones was due to one very simple app – MobileScrobbler.
It simply hooks into the iPod functionalit and submits the Artist, Track and Album information to my Last.FM profile. Having been an avid, subscribing scrobbler for nigh on three years now, I can’t bear to listen to anything [...]
Jailbreaking a UK iPhone
This was compiled from the conceited software write up and also iphoneatlas’ write up (I had a nervy 15 minutes of nothing whilst it was stuck in restore mode – cue much Googling!!).
I thought i’d write this up as I couldn’t find anything specific to say that the o2 iPhone could / has been broken. [...]
A more objective look at iPhone (part 3: A few more words)
I think i’ve covered and detailed most of my gripes with the iPhone in parts one and two and as mentioned, Apple could potentially bring this device inline with other ‘latest gen’ phones (such as the Nokia N95) – at least from a usability and feature standpoint, very quickly with a software update.
A more objective look at iPhone (part 2: Things the iPhone does well)
This is part two in the series, part one can be found here.
As I mentioned in the last post, I don’t want this to sound like a complete Apple bash of the iPhone. So here are some thoughts about the good side of the iPhone, going through by component.
A more objective look at iPhone (part 1: Things the iPhone can't do)
Having had my iPhone for nearly two weeks, now I was planning on writing up a bit more about my experience with the iPhone a little later in the week but have been spurred on by a post at BittubeBlog.
Let’s break it down into; Things the iPhone can’t do, Things the iPhone does badly, Things [...]
