Yeah but people use it when speaking as well which makes it more annoying.

Sorry if it's been answered but is there an issue with Home Sharing on iOS5? I am unable to get my iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS to show an option for home sharing. I have turned it on via iTunes and when I go to both devices for music and video there isn't a home sharing option that shows up. I have also logged into my Apple account via settings for both.
When someone says it to my face, I always go for the passive agressive "What is an iTouch?".
I recently reformated my PC. Before my photos from my 4s would automatically sync to a folder in my pictures. This is not the case anymore. I have the newest iTunes and synced my phone to it. I haven iCloud turned on but it still doesn't do it. It was all automatic before. What did I do wrong?

Is Photo Stream turned on in the iCloud Control Panel? That folder doesn't sync with your phone, it syncs with Photo Stream.
Oh that is the problem. I didn't download the Control Panel. Oops. Thanks!

No I mean on your PC. You'll have to download the iCloud Control Panel so that Photo Stream photos will get synced to that folder.
I'm assuming you're referring to the Photo Stream folder though right? Otherwise I'm not sure.
Edit: Ah cool you got it.

Yeah, but then that opens another can of worms. The either believe that you have no idea what they're talking about or they think your super nerdy and really care about what they call it. On second thought...maybe I am super nerdy.
so my iphone 4s has started suffering from phantom usage. sometimes the usage time will be exactly or almost very similar to the standby time. it never did this before but it's started now causing the battery to drain quicker. bit annoying.
anyway to stop it?
edit: just restored my phone so i guess i'll see what happens. good news is that its freed up 500mbs.

I just noticed that itunes match replaced my albums with "clean" versions. 
That is rather fucked up.

I signed up for itunes match, and then had it replace all of my existing files with their version to ensure better encoding/bitrate etc etc.
Their backup of my Kanye West record is the edited/censored , as is the Big Boi record.

Yeah, this seems to be happening everywhere - can't understand why an option isn't given (assuming the explicit tracks are on iTunes obviously). Not going going to touch Match until this is resolved one way or another.

I noticed this on 1 album I had, but not on anything else, but thn again I have thousands of other songs I haven't checked. I'm almost scared to see if it fucked my entire library by replacing it with edited versions
Yes, I hate that.
On a side note, I got rid of Safari last night and upgraded to AtomicWeb. The constant crashing with that browser (Safari) is so frustrating. iOS5 has really screwed up my iPad (1st Gen). It's not as smooth and responsive as it use to be.
Guys, I'm doing a little organizing for the new year and I'm trying to address something I've ignored for a while. Basically I have a gmail account that I'd like to sync between:
Gmail
Outlook on my W7 machine
iPhone 4
Kindle Fire
so that I can manage my mail directly not matter what device I'm on (i.e, deleting/reading syncs across all devices). I am of course familiar with all the options in Outlook to leave/remove mail from the server, but my gmail account is currently just thrown in there on a POP account so as I understand it I'll have to move to IMAP to get the functionality working correctly.
I also will be adding my company's Exchange account, so I'm hoping to sync all my contacts universally as well.
What's the best way to go about this?

You can use gmail as an imap or exchange account. I prefer exchange since it's push and syncs your contacts and calendar as well.

iNano, iShuffle, iTune, iMatch.
Why not just shorten it to Touch instead? iTouch is bizarre. We shorten it to GAF, not NGAF.
iTunes match was awesome, now it's not. I keep having random album art problems where it won't display the artwork on my iPhone. Some songs appear as singles even though they are the album version so I have to re-edit the tags.
They should make an option where you select which song on iTunes is the matched one and you can keep your tags or have them replaced.

I agree with you but the iTouch name stuck when the thing launched and I know a bunch of people who call it that.
Sure the logic of the apple naming convention doesn't hold but no one thinks about that when they call it iTouch.

Personally I think its weird people don't just call it an iPod.
You need to know that they're using the snazziest version.

Hi guys
I was wondering if there has been any discussion within the iOS community about a redesign of the UI or 'home' screens
I was wondering if there has been any discussion within the iOS community about a redesign of the UI or 'home' screens
Just when I'm accessing it using one of my (many) apple products.
Nothing I've seen about a redesign on any of the blogs or forums.
Finally got around to upgrading to ios 5. Immediately despised the newsstand app. And apparently I can't get rid of this or even put it in a folder. And I can't make it useful by putting other news apps in there. BBC News and NPR news can't go in there? really? Or the USA Today app, a GOD DAMN NEWSPAPER. What the hell, Apple. Shit like that is the kind of thing that would make me switch to Android.
Anyway, does anybody have a suggestion for an app that'll let me read articles from sites that don't have mobile versions. That'll strip out all the extra crap and just let me read the article with a decent font size. Specifically something that'll work with the NY Times.

Anybody have some good battery saving tips on an iPhone 4? I've barely used my phone all day except to text/tweet and it's at 18%. I've tweeted once all day, so most of my phone usage has come from texting... I did play Tiny Towers for like, 5 minutes but that shouldn't drop my battery so drastically. Also, I constantly close apps from the multitasking bar. I fetch my emails manually, so I'm not too sure what the problem is.

Please, do switch to Android. Overreaction much? Just put it on the last page of your apps with all the other apps you'll never use.
Yeah, Safari.

This shit still happens? Unbelievable. You'd think Apple would have baked in some restore feature since this seems like a relatively common occurrence. I use gmail exchance for my contact/mail/calendar sync, but a friend just got a 4S and I recommended to her that she use iCloud for contact syncing since it's more elegant. I can't believe that having your contacts wiped out is even a fucking possibility at this point in time, and it's unforgivable if thats the case. The least Apple could provide is a basked in restore function by snapshotting the contacts everyday, etc in case something catastrophic like that happens. Not like they're lacking in bandwidth.

If I were Apple, I would just rebrand the iPod Touch as the iTouch. It's something that people yearn to call it, for whatever reason. I don't think it's a meme... everyone seems to have come up with the title on their own
It's like how, for decades, people on their own called the drink "Coke" which made Coca-cola furious. They combated it for years and years. Eventually they gave in, trademarked the name, and now "Diet Coke" is the official name.
They would never do it. iTouch is too broad a term, and doesn't signify it being a mobile device in the same way 'iPod' does. It may happen eventually, but I doubt it.If I were Apple, I would just rebrand the iPod Touch as the iTouch. It's something that people yearn to call it, for whatever reason.

it downloads the song and leaves it there on the iOS device but you can delete and song or album that got downloaded if you want to free up space.

So about iTunes Match... when I try to activate it on my phone, it says it'll replace all the songs on it. Does that mean that even if I have a song on here now, I'll have to stream it from iCloud? Or will it actually leave those songs on my phone and just, like, treat them like a local version, so I don't have to wait for the song to load?
Also, it probably goes without saying but... if I go to another country, I can't listen to my music unless I'm on WiFi, right? Unless I want to pay insane data charges...

it will keep the music that has already been loaded the old way via iTunes. it does not delete the local files.
what it means by replacing is that it will show ALL artists, albums and playlists and will show cloud icons on the stuff that is not already present on the device.
you can then download the albums you want manually for listening later while offline.

It does not delete the music that is already on there, I'm not sure why that warning is there.

I dunno if this is the place to ask but:
Windows Vista won't let me update my iTunes.
I keep going in circles. iTunes pops up and says there's an update, I accept the terms, Windows asks permission, then iTunes pops up with the first dialog again, terms, Windows asks for permission, etc.

Thanks, guys. Do you happen to know if it also deletes/replaces the playlists on my phone? Or should I export those out first or something?
Treefingers

I think playlists are replaced, I don't quite remember though. I would back them up just in case. Unless someone knows for sure
Indeed.
Only around 6 or so songs that haven't matched while they're on iTunes. Sucks that it's not 100% drm free though. Still associated with your iTunes accounts. For that reason I'm keeping my original files.
If you're talking about your apple id in the file info, then that's not drm. Easily removable metadata…though I'm not sure why you'd need to.
