See, no matter how hard the designers try to make it hard to do something by
accident, someone will always find a way ... ;)

Have you downloaded the manual, and synced it to the phone so you can read
it at any time?

I can't find it. Maybe it isn't available on 3g.

IIRC I think it was. I had a 3G and 3GS. I have a 4 now.

I remember helping a customer with the issue in 3G times at the store.

I'm not sure about that.

I understood he wanted to disable the data connection.

Oh well, whatever works best for him.

I'm not sure this is how it works but it works for me.

Make sure the Photos App on the iPhone is closed before connecting it to the computer. Do so by double-clicking the home button and you know what to do.

Never fails for me.

You might as well use Image Capture then, which is much quicker and very
basic.

iPhoto is part of iLife, which comes will all new Macs, so it *is* free in
that sense. If you prefer not to use it to import your photos, use Image
Capture.

Adding More Than One Phone Number for One Contact

Posted by: "SmokieTopaz" smokietopaz@gmail.com   tigertopaz

Wed Nov 10, 2010 2:54 pm (PST)



How can I add both a home phone # and a mobile phone # for one contact. I
only see the option to add either a home phone number or a mobile phone
number, but not both. Is there a way to add both? Thank you in advance.

Every time you add a phone number, the iPhone contacts adds another field.
The first one it adds is call iPhone. Tap on the field name to change it to
something else.

After I hit send, I realized I might be speaking too technical. A field is a
space for a phone number. I am used to using spread sheets.
