Box Office has worked me so far. I'm not really interested in trailers. If I'm looking into buying tickets, chances are I already know what I want to see. Box Office works great.

Another vote for Box Office. Usually I know what movie I want to see, I just don't know what times the movie starts. So this works great, plus it links directly to Fandango for prepurchasing if you think you might be late (or on time) and think it will be sold out.
 
OK, so I've had my iPhone since September but I'm new to the iTunes Store. Yesterday I cleaned out my iTunes folder and accidentally deleted my purchased TV shows. How can I get them back without having to repurchase them?

Go to this page:

http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/buy_troubleshooting/

Either view your purchase history in iTunes and report a problem, or use the email link at the bottom of the page. They usually get back to you pretty quick and will allow you to use Store > Check For Purchases to redownload the item.

nice, all I get in the loading circles after I've added the site. Maybe its my Wordpress host blocking the connection though it recognised the connection, login & password when adding the blog.
(really interested in seeing the iPhone Wordpress UI too)

I'll keep trying, got it all sorted now, the iPhone/Twitter circle is nearly complete.
Twitter plugin on Wordpress that twitters every blog entry I make and twitter app on facebook updating my status with the last twitter.
 
The developer of Box Office has two new versions done, just waiting on Apple to add the first one to the store so he can submit the second one.

These release cycles help up by Apple's bureaucracy are killing me. There's half a dozen good apps with updates waiting to be released. :(

I got my iPhone 3G FINALLY!

I love it.
Nice! My AT&T store (only one is selling the phones in my area :/) said that it will be 3 weeks till I can get one there. I'm making a stop at an apple store that is on the way to visit my new niece at my sister's, and hopefully I have better luck there. If not it looks like I'll be waiting a little while more till I get mine.
 
For some reason I am using the internet alot, but im only at 300mb. Whats the deal, what counts as data? Does using for example, AOL radio count as using data as well?

If you're using it over EDGE or 3G, yeah.

I don't know how that guy used a gig. Wow!
I'm not a 300mb either. :)
 
Well I don't have my receipt, but everything should be saved in the computer...they better fucking let me exchange mine..or I'm going to be pissed.
 
I got an 8gig first day the 3g one came out but I kind of want a white one now. Anybody know if its possible for me to just return mine within 30 days and get a white one (depending on stock)?

Yes, but you'll pay a restocking fee.

The yellow tint is really annoying :\

The 3G screen has a slight yellow tint to it and it looks weird compared to the original iPhone. I never would have noticed if I didn't read all the articles about it beforehand :(

What's the best Movie showtime app? I see about a dozen, most free, at least one is $3.00. I've tried a couple and both are good, but have features exclusively that I wish were all encompassing(one has trailers, other has ticket purchasing, etc...)

WHAT SAY YOU IPHONE OWNERS???

Until a native app supports Canada movie showtimes, all Canadians may want to check out this webapp

http://themacbox.co.uk/iphone/cinema/#_Search


Works great for me. loads fast and has a nice layout, links to trailers, imdb page, etc if you click on the movie name on the results page.

mine looks great :) glad i didnt look at any of those haha

What kinda company doesn't have 24hr tech support. I have to call apple tomorrow and find out where to take this phone.

No att employees in here?

how do you even notice a yellow tint... i'm not sure what you're talking about :|

it's probably all in your head... :D
 
I live in Chicago. Anyone know how, where and when I could buy iPhones for my gf and I? We couldn't make the launch for work, but now have some flexibility to track a couple down.

note: We called all the Apple Stores and corporate ATT stores yesterday and none had any phones in and all the reps gave some bullshit about not knowing when they'll be in again.

I thought the yellow tint was a defect.
 
Ok guys, after pretty much some 6 hrs I believe I have finally unlocked my 1st gen Iphone 2.0 :)

I also do not get the pinapple on my screen, I still get the silver apple.

When I have the ATT SIM it gives the info for Att, but when I insert the SIM from my Guatemalan Cell phone it gives me ATT & Tmobile on the new tab "CARRIER".

So did I do it right? Will I be able to use it on my trips abroad? I am soo happy, it took me awhile.
 
Costanza said:

Did you ever have the original iPhone?

I know my friends don't equal real stats or anything but out of the people I know who got iPhone 3G's, the one who upgraded to it noticed and didn't like the yellow screen but the newcomer didn't notice/doesn't care about it.

It personally doesn't bother me because some images really do look sharper and better looking but that could be in my head.
 
Costanza said:
Apple said it was intentional

do you honestly even notice it enough to bug you?

after looking at the comparisons i really don't see a big enough difference for me to even notice.

although i'm not doubting, there is a yellow tint :S
 
Costanza said:

Do a restore in iTunes.. the 5a347 version of 2.0 seems to tweak the yellow a bit.

It looked better to me after a restore. After comparing my 3G iPhone screen to the screen of an ipod touch, the 3G phone screen looks much, much better.
 
It bugs me that the screen on the 3G is smaller relative to the face than on the OG iPhone (larger black border along the edge, and such). Is that OCD?
 
I'm looking for accessory recommendations for my 3G; I want something that'll protect it from scratches and finger gunk but I want the size and it's ability to slip easily into my pocket to remain similar to how it is now. The only place I'm worried about scratches is the screen, everything else doesn't matter as much. Anyone have any recommendations?

This is good for the back but, in all honesty, it adds finger resistance and a bumpy look to the front glass, even when applied perfectly. If you want to keep the front glass clean from fingerprints and smudges, get a set of "power support anti-glare" films from the apple store.

I think they've been mentioned in this thread before. They're great and you don't need to clean the screen every few minutes to get rid of the fingerprints.

Anyone got any pics of this thing on? The installation scares me off...


the installation is kind of touch and go...

it comes with this spray that works really well... and you just spray the sticky parts and it makes it kinda not sticky until the spray dries up... so you just place it in the iphone and then make sure it's in the right place and then wait for it to dry...

it's not THAT hard... but if you mess up.. it's pretty bad



edit: also i have two 20% discounts on that site that i can give to someone... just send me a pm and i'll send you the discount code. first come, first serve.

I bought the Crystal Film from these guys for my original iPhone (works great, highly recommended, easy to install too).

Is the Anti-Glare the same thing as that (with antiglare stuff added of course)?

If you mess up can the crap be removed?

yeah, they're pretty much the same deal.

FYI to others: they attach via with static cling, as opposed to the sticky solution used by invisible shield or bodyguardz.
 
I have one of those "zagg" protectors on mine.

The day i put it on, is the day my power button broke :(


the protector itself , once you get it on is amazing. It adds so much grip, i dont think you could ever drop the phone if you had this on it, because it makes such a difference.

only problem i had was on the front when i was putting it on, getting it on straight i had to put it on and off a few times and stretched it, so now its kinda janky
 
I forgot to ask; does anyone have any lag problems with their iPhone? Occasionally (more than occasionally) when I want to send a text the keyboard seems to lag behind my inputs really, really badly. What's going on with that?

Yep. It is one of the first things that I caught when I saw the phone for the first time. I didn't know why I thought it looked different, but I knew that it looked different.

I had that when I first got my iphone, not anymore though.
 
Alright.

So it says unlimited data, visual voicemail, etc.

Now is that unlimited data for the entire plan? Because my girlfriend has a blackberry on the plan and they charged us an additional thirty dollars for unlimited data on her phone. It's just her phone and mine on the account. What's going on with this?
