The guys are getting faster... jailbreak works... just be sure to NOT
update with iTunes before jailbreaking or the baseband will get updated
also.

In older versions of itunes it was possible to create ringtones from
MP3/AAC files on your for free provided they weren't DRM. Creating and
AAC excerpt of any file renamining it M4r and putting it in a ringtones
folder in itunes then synching. I created a dozen or so of my
favourites when I first got my iphone but ituines 8.02 seem to lack the
convert to AAC feature

Here's some instructions from you tube:

Now that I've played with iRinger a little more, I've decided that I
want a wee bit more control and precision in my clip-making.

I can live with the fact that the fade-in and the fade-out have to be
the same duration. But far more of a hassle is that, unless I'm
missing something, I have to listen to the entire clip just to preview
the very end -- which is a pain when I'm trying a few different
possible end points.

That said, if I didn't have MP3DirectCut already, I'd certainly stick
with iRinger despite that small hassle.

I have the version 2.2 software on my iPhone, but I can't figure out how to
call up the Street View function within maps. I have map, satellite hybrid and
list views, but I can't find anything for Street View. What's the trick?

Make a pin, by searching or by choosing 'drop pin', and then click on
the "Person in a red circle" icon on the left hand side of the pin
label. Obviously, this won't work if there is no google street view
data for the area you dropped the pin.

Thank you. That's not exactly obvious. Apple doesn't seem to be big on giving
help in their applications.

Indeed, I quite agree.

To be fair, there is a reasonably good manual at
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iphone_user_guide.pdf
although not a lot of people seem to know it exists.

On the other hand, it doesn't seem to have been updated for 2.2 yet,
so doesn't tell you the answer to your question about Street View.

Street View is only available from a location/address search. If there
is a Street View available, you'll see an icon for it on the left side
of the pin's caption/flag.

From: dgates

I've decided to try adding some photos of friends to their Contact
entries on my iPhone.

The most obvious way to get photos to the iPhone seems to be to email
them, then check my email on my iPhone and save the attachment(s) to
"Photos."

Is there another way? I'm test-driving MobileMe right now, so I
thought maybe I could do it with MobileFiles, but althought I can now
get files from iDisk to a folder on the iPhone, I can't actually move
them to Photos (or to Contacts).

I could try paying $6 or $7 for OneDisk (formerly A.I.Disk), but I
can't read from the description if that'll let me get the photos into
Photos or Contacts either.

Maybe using something like Air Sharing? It's certainly popular, but I
can't tell from the reviews if it will do what I want -- or even if
it's stable on the PC.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

In iTunes, from the screen about your iPhone, click 'Photos', tick
'Sync photos from', and selected a place or places to copy photos
from. The images in this folder or folders will then be copied to the
iPhone when you sync.
