My iPhone calendar will not sync with Outlook 2007
Show more... ...Show less

As many folks have noted, Outlook 2007 (and 2003, apparently) does not sync properly with the iPhone. Fewer than half of my appointments end up on the iPhone. No obvious rhyme or reason to what's missing. Apple has a FAQ for this (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.ht...), but this did not help me. Without calendar sync, the iPhone cannot replace my Motorola Q. So sad.

iPhone's Google Map application not for pedestrians!

Does Map always attempts to put me in a street? I am in a large building, but the iPhone's map insists on locating me on the closest nearby street... Why is it doing this?

Why won't my iPhone 3G sync with Outlook 2003
Show more... ...Show less

I have spent hours trying to sync my iPhone 3G with my work calendar that uses outlook 2003 but it won't sync. I have a colleague with the original iPhone with the 2.0 software and doesn't have a problem syncing. I have tried everything that the blogs have said and still no luck. Help!!!!! This includes un-installing iTunes, detected and fixed outlook, reset the sync history in iTunes, and many other steps. Please help!

Is there any way to lock the iphone keypad while on a call?
Show more... ...Show less

I keep hitting buttons with my ear and cheek while on calls - most annoying. Other than changing my handset-holding habits, is there any other way to prevent this happening - i.e. locking the keypad without cutting off the call? Thanks in advance.

How do I sync certain groups from my Yahoo! mail address book to my iPhone?
Show more... ...Show less

How do I sync just certain groups from my Yahoo! mail address book to my iPhone? The radio buttons to choose this option are greyed out on iTunes. Does anyone have any suggestions- I don't want to upload my whole address book, just the groups I've made. Any help would be appreciated.

iPhone 3G unbearably slow und unstable Wifi
Show more... ...Show less

I just got my iPhone 3G and its unbelievably slow on my home Wifi; I have a MacBook Pro on the same wireless LAN which runs just fine and which is my reference when I’m saying "slow".

The iPhone is not only slower with Safari, it's generally slower - even when establishing connections with mail, twitter or any other internet services.

By "slower" I mean like ... 10 or 20 times slower, _if_ it connects at all.

Mail is practicably unusable on the iPhone, as it "connects" endlessly (spinning wheel).

I will have an opportunity to test it on a differen WLAN today and will report again.

Can you disable gmail on a stolen iPhone?
Show more... ...Show less

My partner just stole my iPhone and is currently sending an email via gmail to an unfortunate person. I would like to somehow disable him from hitting send in the next 10 minutes. Is that possible by disabling IMAP or changing the password? He is already in the middle of the email message.

Can I sync To Do's with my iPhone?
Show more... ...Show less

What's the best way to manage a to-do list on the iPhone? It seems like the calendar just ignores them, and as far as I can tell you can't sync notes. Does anyone know of a good to-do list that syncs with iCal and a simple web-based interface with an iPhone-ready version?

Bluetooth not working on iPhone 3g - by fault or design?
Show more... ...Show less

Just got my 3g iPhone. While out and about today, I tried to send a video from my Nokia E70 via Bluetooth, but Nokia can't see the iPhone, even though Bluetooth is clearly on and iPhone says 'Now Discoverable'. The iPhone sees the Nokia, but refuses to pair with it. When I got home, I tried connecting to my laptop via Bluetooth. That can't see the iPhone either. Is this some kind of insane Jobsian device lockdown OR do I have a faulty handset OR is it a software problem that will will be fixed with a forthcoming update (I hope a swift one)? Just seen a similar thread about the original iPhone that would suggest the answer is (a). I do hope not.

If it is, then how else can I connect my Nokia to the iPhone locally to transfer data between them. One of my main reasons for getting an iPhone DESPITE its (current) lack of video was because I thought I could use my exisitng phone to shoot video and transfer it across via Bluetooth while on the move.

And, again, if it is locked down in this way, then what on earth is the rationale behind preventing users from doing something like this that harms no commercial interests whatsoever?

Why does it take so damn long to open an email on my iPhone? It drives me nuts!
Show more... ...Show less

When I receive an email on my iPhone I want to READ IT (this seems reasonable, no?). Well, when I touch the email header to open the email, sometimes it takes a minute or even longer to actually open the mail. Sometimes it doesn't open at all. Grrr. I know that if I'm on Wifi it's faster, but I'm not often on Wifi. Oh Blackberry, take me back!!

MobileMe Mail (web and IMAP) down for many users...
Show more... ...Show less

After the launch complexities, Mobile Me mail is still down for many users (both Web and IMAP). While it's not all users, has anyone heard if Apple has a plan to get it reliable?

This really affects iPhone users because it's the only way to sync to an iPhone using Mobile Me (no direct sync like on the Mac, the iPhone uses the mail platform for syncing that data to MobileMe). This is a substantial problem.

Save to Phone, another web app from Ben Brown. Really useful if you need to save a map, say, or anything else that's a one time instance and thus link-challenged.

BRICKED! iPhone 2.0 software bricked my phone, and now I can't even restore it!
Show more... ...Show less

I tried to update to 2.0 on my Edge iPhone, but it freaked out at the end of the update and threw up an error. So now the iPhone is bricked. Fine.

Then it told me I needed to restore the iPhone from a backup, by first restoring the software. So, fine. Except that it won't let me! The error message is superlame: "The iPhone 'iPhone' cannot be restored." Superbricked!

I tried switching to my other Mac to restore the iPhone from the 1.1.4 software, instead of 2.0, but no luck there.

Is there anything I can do, besides just taking it in to the Genius Bar for a replacement? Also, why does Apple hate me?

After iPhone 2.0 upgrade, Stuck in Recovery Mode
Show more... ...Show less

iTunes shows I've upgraded to the latest iPhone firmware (presumably 2.0 although the version indicator says n/a. However, I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected and iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.
If I try to Restore again, or Option>Restore it eventually brings me back to the same error. In brief, I think I have iPhone 2.0 installed, I just can't restore my phone.

Does the iPhone SDK allow for serial port connections?
Show more... ...Show less

Does the iPhone SDK allow for serial port connections? Can I use RX and TX serial lines over the dock connector? I do not want to distribute the application over the app store, I want this to be a tightly controlled distribution.

So bottom line:
Can I use the dock for serial connections with the official SDK?
Can I create a program and choose to distribute it on my own? (This may even be small enough quantities that I can literally connect each iPhone to my computer)

I am having the same problem. since upgrading to itunes 7.7 and iphone 2.0 my calendar is missing events. I think the only thing that is syncing are recurring events but it is very random. What should I do? It is frustrating - I can't count on this.

Why is Apple truely better than Microsoft?
Show more... ...Show less

Why is Apple truly better than Microsoft? Smart answers here please, folks, none of the "BECAUSE IT IS, LOL!". What makes Apple the company it is today and what makes Microsoft so "bad" and Apple so "good"? All the answers I've ever heard on the internet were Apple and Microsoft fan boys screaming in all caps trying to win by volume rather than reason.

What's your take?

Edit: I know I posted this previously, but I worded the title and body incorrectly. So what ended up happening is that Eric, the manager here at Get Satisfaction, moved my topic to Microsoft's sections (not his fault, totally mine), so I apologize.
