That happens if you are in sleep mode and you hold down the home button. I did it earlier on accident. :)

Hang in there.

So.. rumor is that next week we'll see the iPhone5 or something like that. Anyone going to upgrade/get it?

I love my IPhone 3GS. I would like to upgrade to the 5 but will lose a couple if the games I play as they do not transfer over at the levels I am now.

Re: double clicking, I keep a whole ton of apps open at the same time. I only close them if I need to do an update as it will sit there waiting forever if I have too many open at once.

I also put apps in folders, like all my games or shopping apps. Keeps screen cleaner since I have so many

I am planning on getting the IPad before I lose my vision altogether. I use my phone as my portable computer (like right now) and it would be nice to see the "big picture"!

Ok I need some help here! I had an old laptop where my library was located. I bought a new iPod Touch. I synced it to that library. The laptop died and now I want to get the stuff on the iPod into the iTunes library on my new machine and it will not let me!!! How does one do this?? I can't imagine I am the only person who has had this issue. Help smart techies!!! I am clueless.

Haven't tried it but this might help: http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/

One thing I don't like about apple or ianything is that its all made in china. Nothing is made here. Just sold here. I have a huge problem with that!

The majority of smart phones are made in China or similar markets, not just iPhone.

I have an original iPad and actually like it. I made the mistake of just getting the WiFi version. The only downside was the screen (which is also an upside). The issue is, of course, reading. Glare can be annoying on the screen but, you can get glare reduce screen protectors. That said, watching a movie or something on it: awesome.

I'm thinking of giving K my iPad and getting myself an iPad 2 but haven't decided yet. I haven't tried any of the Android based tablets although have heard some good things from them. I think Samsung has a neat one that plugs into an external drive option so you have more storage and a proper keyboard (small but still keys).

The reality is that while the computer/laptop may be made in the US, all components are made overseas. AFAIK, none to very few are actually made in North America these days. The reality is that this action has resulted in a computer price that pretty much anyone could have and not just the wealthy.

Always, I have an iPad2 and love it. My boss loathes Apple so he bought one made by Toshiba and while he loved it initially, he recently purchased an iPad simply because the graphics were better and it is much faster.

When I first got my iPad I thought it would be great to take notes on in class and since it's so small it would fit nicely in my backpack. Well, it's a nightmare to type on...as is my iphone...and it just isn't very student friendly in that regard. If you want something to watch movies on or TED videos, it's great! I use mine to do puzzles on at night before I go to sleep. :)

I also recently got one of those HUGE iMac's for my office. It's super pretty and I loved being able to have two screens up at once without having two monitors, but it does not communicate well with the university's PC based operating systems. They just don't speak the same language. So, I went back to my old system but added the new HP TouchSmart 310. And I love it!!

Not switching to the iPhone 5. I don't need everything new that comes out and at the rate Apple releases new products, I'd be broke if I bought the latest and greatest. The new iPad3 is supposed to come out in the spring of 2012!!!

iLive in my iWorld too. iLove it. iWrite everything that begins with iThis way. Because that's just the kind of fan iAm.

I am
 

I was looking at the Kindle...did you know Google had a reader? Anyhow, Target has Tech specialists, wonderful sources of info for people like me.

The IPHONE 4, if you buy the data plan is expected to sell as low as 29.95
Because, everyone will want the 5.

The best thing that will be coming out with the ipone 5 is the white cloud feature. This will apply to all mac products. The ability to sync all mac products together effortlessly. :|. You know I'll still be in here asking questions. And Julie, the younger folks at the library helped me with that same problem!

I also found out (at the library) amazon in coperation with Libraries, will have a Lend a Book program. How cool is this! (back to Kindle)
