iPhone apps S/D

GRRRR

So I have them in iPhoto and they have geotags. I dragged them into uploadr which has been NEVER set to resize and it somehow lost the geo, contradicting the above. Any ideas?

I've emailed one from the phone straight to flickr to see if the tags make it through that way.

No, it doesn't. Wtf?

I fear that Flickr is too "Yahoo" now to sort this out proper quickly.

ok I guess I need to run software update

can anyone tell the diff between iDB datamaster and the lite version?
This app looks like it kicks things and omnifocus' asses

Because nobody could be arsed answering my question, I'll do it:

The AIM app doesn't do chat. It also crashes within three seconds, rendering it 100% useless.

we need whitepages iphone app. yellowpages app thing really sucks at looking up phone #s, as does google.

Man syncing is buggy as fuck now. Apps bought on iPhone won't upload to Mac, and iTunes spews shitloads of errors into console while trying to sync. Sometimes I get messages that "Apps X, Y and Z have not been installed", sometimes not. Lots of complaints on Apple support about it, too.

Not to mention the 3g is shit.

I expect one hell of a system update in August.

which flickr apps can upload

The next version of Exposure can, not the one on the store.

Oh for FUCK'S sake: if you install an update over the air, it trashes all the app's data. Bye, saved games.

This is going to make updating Things a nightmare, actually. Fucking Apple.

jon try "air me"

how do you all look up phone numbers?

google mobile for looking up phone numbers.

Re flickr and geotags: for some reason you need to set an option in your flickr account which tells it to take notice of geotags, otherwise it strips them out. Pretty stupid really. Can't post a link to the page that fixes it because I can't copy and paste (ON IPHONE) but it's googleable.

wonder why google mobile isnt in canada yet...

also i think the maps app would be a lot more useful it had a "find me" button. as such you either have to enter an address or use "directions" to situate yourself with the gps. what if i just want to see a map of where i am?

It does have an option to show where you are.
Press the cross-hatched circle in the bottom left and it will find your location.

ooh ah.

god i'm dumb eh???

Both iPhoto (version 7.1.3 and earlier) and emailing your photos from the iPhone will damage the geographic information (the EXIF-GPS).

another noob question: is it possible to save passwords in mobile safari so I don't have to keep logging in?

ok top tip that should have been obvious in retrospect: if you install apps on the phone directly, when you connect to iTunes again right-click on it and choose "transfer purchases". Otherwise it don't back em up.

Twinkle is really nice: sort of a twitter for people geographically near you.

er, this'll be the twinkle you just showed me that crashed repeatedly? yeh, i was dead impressed.

i mean, that's a bit like saying iGrimly is an amazing application that makes you a millionaire and puts you in a heightened orgasmic state. it *would* if i could be arsed to make it work. same goes for the dudes who make twinkle, from what i can see.

Yeh, I just had to create an account first. It works now.

aye, well, yeh. same for iGrimly :/

GTD-free Todo list apps reviewed: http://www.macworld.com/article/134652/2008/07/basictodoapps.html

can i just ask once again: what do you all do to look up business phone numbers without calling 411? without googling?

so. i got iTunes remote working, thanks to a reply on the apple discussion boards.

how did i do it? i turned on "iTunes music sharing" in the firewall prefs. this is despite the fact that I DON'T HAVE THE SOFTWARE FIREWALL RUNNING.

and, er, the fact that music sharing works perfectly between my two macs.

this seems counter-intuitive in the extreme.

Aside from screen flakiness on the Voice Mail screen, no problems with the iPhone 3G syncing on Windows XP or anything thus far. I got this thing on Monday, and I'm really really happy with it.

I mean, being able to make Ned's ringtone a snippet of Melvins' "Pick It N Flick It" is some apex of human achievement.

looks like a bunch of apps just got updated.

things looks pretty good, but i'm not going to pay $50 for something that may or may not someday sync to my desktop.

$50! It's £5 here.

I am revolting against the iPhone by getting a treo 650 complete with dookie antenna to use as my smartphone during the RNC. Where are my liveblogging apps at?

lol

can you use google's "my maps" feature on iphone?

stet: it's $5 or $10 for the phone app but $40 for the desktop. i want something that syncs, so i need to get both.

haven't installed it yet, but stereo + resume will get me back to pandora from last.fm for a bit, i suspect:

Palringo is a good multiplatform aim client.
AirMe is garbage and Shozu is way better and supports tons more sites (facebook etc)

is shozu good?

everyone seems mad at their EULA.

Link to discus?

it was just in the reviews on the store itself.

thx for the palringo tip!

Palringo is definitely nice. Single-app clients are just completely pointless and anachronistic and rubbish now.

ya... esp as you can't run them in the bg. even chat apps are pretty limited in their usefulness... txting is still way better.

anyone else find nytimes is still redonkulously slow? it just loads and loads and loads and loads.

Does palringo send yr account data via its own servers? suspicious about having to make an account w/them.

Have given up on NYTimes. That syncing is awful bullshit. It's trying to pull all the pictures as well, which r dum

Eh, I worry more about using aim & non-ssl websites on open wifi networks

New NetNewsWire update FINALLY available

and it's lovely.
