I didn't even know it was possible on iPhone, geez, sounds painfull. I'm happy with it on iPad actually, to the point I might score some background tunes for time lapses on it. Come to think of it, given some very impressive videos I've seen of your efforts with the iPad and some very smick hardware, would you be up for a very highly paid commission timelapse soundtrack, like in the 10s of $ per day , plus huge qudos and hero worship? .

Personally I am at a neutral point in regards to Apple. I purchased a second hand Mac Book Pro and haven't worked out how to connect to the Internet (yes I am rather dumb). I thought I could simply use the 3G Broadband USB Modem which I use on my windows based laptop..wrong...won't recognise the device ..something I have to work through...Anyway they are a nice machine and learning the Apple (Snow Leopard OS) way of doing things is something new.

You can - I've done it myself. It shouldn't be a major issue for you I hope.

Thanks Mike, at least I know it should be possible so it is now a learning process to get the Mac Book to recognise the USB Modem. I initially thought it would self recognise once I connected the USB device like it did with my Windows machine..when that didn't work I tried the CD. Something I must have missed. Maybe need to determine whether the version of Snow Leopard is compatable with the 3G USB Modem software.

Is it a Telstra modem? You can get the drivers/software off the Telstra site. I have done it and it works.

Any time Fred I'd love to actually have one of your time lapses running and come up with something suitable on the fly. I'm experimenting with analogue sequencing again soon given a new soft synth I now have, so that'd be terrific!

Lighten up, who cares anyway, really

I thought showing poking tounges was fairly lighthearted almost tounge in cheek

If you would look back and actually read my contributions I think they were very constructive.

I am trying to draw attention to threads like this that have been virtually ignored when compared to this one that are worthy of contributing to also.

Wait till they invent the iprobe, that will make your eyes water.
A glich in the isoftware will will mean you get probed with every incoming and outgoing call or text, Then it will be

If there was ever a truly evil company it has to be Apple. The deviousness and sophistication of its practices has no bounds.

Apple subverts your free will and suppresses your natural instinct to rebel by making you love its products – for no reason whatsoever. In this very thread posters have stated that their Apple devices are almost unusable, yet they still love them. The brainwashing involved here must border on the North Korean.

If people need help with their Apple products they are deprived of any chance of finding it elsewhere on the net and are instead channelled towards a meticulously organised network of "geniuses" and support staff who take every opportunity to patronise and belittle them under the guise of being helpful and resolving issues. In the end they're even made to feel grateful for the ordeal.

But make no mistake, Apple doesn't stop at turning entire generations into mindless stooges, it also provides material support to criminals and perverts, as this recent news story illustrates.

Information and communication technology are difficult and lofty engineering disciplines. They belong in the hands of geeks. Let's not let them fall into the hands of the great unwashed masses, just so that Apple in its boundless greed can make a fortune and control the minds of our children. Just say no. Preserve the old ways.

That's all I've got to say on this topic.

Cheers
Steffen.

What i want to know is,
how long will it be before the "iDarwin" awards are instigated,
to cover all those who come to a sticky end
due to the total loss of situational awareness brought upon by the mental devotion allocated to an iDevice?

Here is another case of do it Apples way or dont do it at all.

1) Create an email message on your iPhone
2) Add some explainatory words.
3) Decide now that you want to add a picture.

During Christmas, my little niece figured out all by her little 6-year old self self that her intent was to email a photo she'd just taken of the Christmas tree at their place. She took the photo with her mum's phone and saw it open in the photo browser app... and emailed it with a "hello Uncle Chris" message attached by simply hitting the "mail" button. Whaoa!... To my mind that cuts out a whole step, but I could have lost count...

Actually... you can do exactly what you require by simply multitasking out (double-click home) from mail to the photo browser, tap/hold-copy on your found found photo and then multi-task back to the mail app and tap/hold-paste. Done. Easy. Best of both worlds.

Steffen... LOL

[tlgerdes (Trevor)]

Stand in line Chris, there are more ahead of you in the Gerdes gripe line.

My point was not that you cant send photos, you just have to do it the Apple way.

You have to plan ahead and not deviate from your course. You cant start out with a message and then attach your picutre, you have to start out with the intent to send a picture.

Is it right or is it wrong? It is just different from everyone else.
One a computer (Win, Lin, Apple, etc) or other email devices (ie phones etc) you can do it either way, from the attachment select send, or from the email app, select attach.

Ahhh... nope - re-read my post.

[tlgerdes (Trevor)]

As for cutting out a step

1) Select photo
2) Choose to send email to someone
3) Write text
4) Press Send

1) Chose to send email to someone
2) Write text
3) Select photo
4) Press send

Just changes the order

Yep. Not an issue for most. You were stating that it can't be done. It can be.

Not bothering with these any more. Had enough - I really could not care less if you have issues this minor Trevor - go and work for them and sort them out eh?
