Re: MobileMe -- free trial to paid subscription -- timing question

John,

I think that was me that said they did a renewal of an existing paid account very early.

Turn off the auto renewal on the account, and they can not start early. Then find it elsewhere at a better price. Check OutletDeal.com and Amazon.

They can't make you "do it sooner". _I believe_ that even if you purchase it from Apple or elsewhere a few days late, you will still find whatever info you have on the account still there.

Automatic renewal is the default, and I believe the default with a trial account. Turn it off. It should be in the account settings.

You have to have a valid, active credit card on file to use the account, but you do not need auto renewal on.

Then go find a cheaper price for a membership elsewhere.

on a 3G, any way to change the calendar sound?

It seems there is no other sound option for calendar alarms -- can it be done with a 3rd party app? Thanks-

Re: Aftermarket iPod adapter plug (my iPhone's iPod) ...unsightly?

Go to pac-audio.com and check out their product. It plugs into the vehicle wiring behind your radio. It gives you the option to charge the iPhone/iPod and play the audio through the radio. The only part you see is the 30-pin cable, the rest you bury behind the dash.

I'm sure they can tell you if it will work or cause a problem with the anti-theft feature of your car and radio.

I'm not RF engineer, but the aftermarket FM adapters I have tried have been crap, since I live in a FM crowded area.

My wife refuses to let me near the radio in her car - if I replace it with aftermarket, the steering wheel controls and rear seat DVD players won't work any more. So she is stuck with no auxiliary input, and no iPod / iPhone dock. That leaves car chargers and FM modulators the only options.

"Better" is subjective, there are dozens of specs to compare. When you are out in the middle of nowhere, reception specs are all that matter. You don't want to fool around with "good", you need best. I am an RF engineer, I've been inside these radios, Pioneer does the job right, nobody else is even close. Anybody on Yahoo's 5000 member "fmtuners" group will tell you the same.

Not all car stereos are replaceable that way. For example, on my 03
Mazda, the stereo is integrated into the center console to the extent
that I cannot replace it with an aftermarket unit without cutting holes.

No Keyboard

I have an iPhone 4 running IOS 4.1 and not jailbroken.

My keyboard does not appear when I try to write a text message, enter an email, enter password for the istore. To all intents and purposes, the keyboard does not appear at any time. I have done the hard and soft reset and still no keyboard appears.

Am I missing something?

Re: Data Lost During Sync

Go to the Splash Data Forums, if you have not done so already, and ask
there. They have always been helpful to me and I have been using SplashID for many years,

Did any of you get the "Handy Light" app that was avail in the itunes store around mid July?
(Not the Handy Light+ that is out now).

I am sorry I missed that one.
