The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Inc.

[preshit.net]

A couple of questions:

1. Does iPhone now have over-the-air syncing with the iPhone/iPod Touch?
2. How does one pay for the paid applications over the App Store? How do you pay via the iPhone? iTunes account, I guess.
3. Why is MobileMe still not up?
4. Does the iPhone now bake bread?

1. No info about that. Probably not.
2. iTunes Store account, Yes.
3. The dude who was responsible to flick the final switch received a call on his Blackberry, saying his wife just went into labor. He took a cab, reached the hospital, only to realize that he's not married. He's on his way back now.
4. No, it's not.
5. No, but it adds taste to the yeast.
6. "A couple of questions" is not 5 questions.

Remote app is not OS X exclusive, at least I think not. It first of all works with AppleTV as well. I'm assuming it just uses the Bonjour protocol to locate music libraries. I wonder if one can play media from a Mac on your iPhone... That would be cool… (Remote Buddy already does it)

Can I activate my Mobilemee account just by entering my activation code?
The .mac trial gave me only 50MBs to play with

You and your n00bish questions. Arsenal_gunners, can we start that NOTW award again?

Anyway, yeah, you just have to enter the activation to make it a full account.

A couple of MobileMe services, Calendar and iDisk are now active for me. The rest are currently unavailable.

Edit: It's playing poo-poo hide & seek.

 

[goobimama]

I think it is mainly because of idiots like you and narangz that are just taking the servers down with your constant requests on that page. Give it a rest will ya! I'll let you know when it is completely active.

Guys! Big News! iTunes store for India is available! This is huuuuuuuge!

 

[preshit.net]

I hit the send button even before you started typing the message
Got an ID already. Woooohooooo !!

Guess what. The Store only has Apps. No media content, yet.

 

[goobimama]

-------
Update: Rats. Its only for iPhone applications. No music or movies in there…

 

[preshit.net]

So it's basically for the iPod Touch users in the country.

 

[goobimama]

Did someone here ask for an Alarm application? The best one so far I've found is Awaken.

 

[preshit.net]

I'd recommend Awaken too. Else just set a recurring iCal event to play any mp3 on the system.

You guys look like you're dying for mobileme! Are you refreshing www.me.com every minute? And YAY! ITUNES STORE TO HK!!! I WAS DYING FOR IT!!!
sorry about the capitals!
----------------------
WOW!! I got 5 emails from Apple about the iPhone 3G!
Why 5 emails? 2 today, 1 yesterday and 1 3 days ago!!

 

[goobimama]

Cause iPhone 3G is awesome raised to the power of 5.

As for the iTunes store, sad that it is only for Apps. Still, it is signs of better things to come.

 

[cooldudie3]

Oh no! I cannot open flash stuff! I downloaded the flash player and now I cannot open flash files on safari! It tells me there is no plug-in to open the file. I then get linked to the download page again! Now I cannot find a way to delete flash player to the previous version. Is there any way to reverse or do I have to format the system and reinstall?

 

[goobimama]

How about going the Safari 4 Developer preview way? The browser is as stable as 3.1. Might fix your issues.

 

[cooldudie3]

Ok! Are you sure it is very stable?
How can I download the Safari 4? I cannot find it!

 

[goobimama]

Safari 4 has been the most stable browser I have ever used. No crashes whatsoever. Although, I'm not sure if that terminal command for automatically opening windows in New Tabs works. Needed some confirmation from Aayush for that (all take a moment of silence).

------------------------------
Has Apple hit some kind of trouble with MobileMe? They seem to be off and on with this thing. They wouldn't do this unless it wasn't working properly. I guess I should stop hitting their servers, there is always tomorrow.

 

[aryayush]

And it isn't online even today. Not yet, at least.

To the person who said he would read my article when it was published online, well, it already is. It's one of the MacUser articles that they deemed good enough to merit being on the magazine. Assuming that I can crank them out each month, they'll keep publishing my articles.

Thanks to everyone for the word of congratulations, no matter how forced it may've been.

iTunes Store in India. Meh. It's actually going to make it more difficult for people like me and Milind, who already have working accounts in the U.S. version. Having to constantly sign in and out...

And no, that Terminal command doesn't work with the developer preview version.

I am sure this is gonna take a lot more time than we expect, may be a day more. Last night I happen to watch one of my all time favorite movie American Beauty, this is one amazing movie that makes you think differently every time you watch it.
Let go MobileMe for a while guys, it will be up when its ready to rock us all!

For those who have upgraded to iTunes 7.7, I just did it and have this stat:
After installing iTunes 7.7, total size of app : 130.9 MB
After XSlimming it, iTunes 7.7 now is just 34.7 MB

They've at least put a statement up now:
"The MobileMe transition is underway but is taking longer than expected. Please refer to the official System Status to the right for current information on the availability of MobileMe services. We apologize for any inconvenience."

and in the status:

"With the exception of the MobileMe web apps, all of the following services are now available: Mail, iDisk, Sync, iChat, Back to My Mac, and all published pages including Galleries and iWeb sites. The MobileMe web apps will be available as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you need to send and receive mail, please use the desktop email application on your Mac, PC, iPhone or iPod touch.
We apologize for any inconvenience."

And to let someone else do all the dirty work, you can keep *ismobilemeup.com/ in your browser tabs!

I'm pretty sure at least 15 people were fired today by Steve Jobs for this major hold up!

 

[preshit.net]

Well, Push email on the Mac seems to be working.

I don't know what I'm gonna do after I part ways with my Mac Mini

 

[dinesh72]

I have downloaded my first ever free app from itunes store. It shows up in the Library - Applications. How do I transfer it to my ipod. I've connected my ipod to usb and sync but app is not getting sync. May be the wrong way I am following.
