iLife - All things, iPod, iMac, iPhone, iTunes

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

*Anya* · 09-29-2011, 11:22 AM

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.

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.

Does anyone have a Ipad, or any of the non-I tablets? I am thinking of getting one and would like to know if anyone has any recommendations, experiences (good and bad), and likes/dislikes to share. I could really use some help

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).

Are there any half decent desktop/laptop computers, mobile phones, tablet computers made in the USA?

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.

is your new laptop a Mac? I recently had to upload someone else's Ipod touch to my Mac to copy some songs on it and I called Apple and they were very helpful in doing this. I know it's not the same issue but the folks at Apple were wicked helpful.

I've never had an iphone and I want one, debating on settling for the iphone4 because it's obviously going to be cheaper, and it's a luxury for me not a necessity.

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)

Well the iphone 3 is at 99.00 years later, not sure about the rumors that the iphone4 will be cheaper than that.

I don't care about having the latest *greatest* thing, I rather let it roll around and get the bugs worked out, I just want something to consolidate my gadgets!

I hope that's true! I plan to upgrade. Nothing is wrong with my iphone4, I'm just waiting on the 5 so I can give my phone to my son because his phone is soooo old and I don't want to pay for his upgrade. I'd rather get me (the more responsible one) the upgrade.

I also have an iPad2 and I love it! I use it to take notes on, watch movies on, etc. The graphics are phenomenal. My laptop is in the shop right now and I'm actually using my iPad2 to access the Internet.

Yes, it's very good. After I figured out (with Incubus' help) how to work my IPT4, I was refusing to buy that expensive data plan and the IPT4 and my cell phone plan were all I needed. Transition to the phone was so simple.

Honestly, I can't imagine needing more. It even has a flashlight.

I love my iPhone 4..its attached to me at the hip. I rarely ever go somewhere without it. Mine is jailbroken. Jailbreaking the iPhone makes it more customizable among other things. I do see an iPhone 5 in my future

girl_dee · 09-30-2011, 11:15 AM

The EVO has a slideout keypad that I would love to have..
