Oct 4th
If you’re wondering how to set up iCloud to Send & Receive pop emails on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, it will be worth you reading my previous post on allowing MobileMe to send and receive pop emails – I’m supposing it should be the same process but of course, until we’ve tried it out we shall reserve judgement!
I’ll take a full in depth look at how to set up iCloud to send & receive POP emails on iPhone, iPad & Mac once iCloud is officially with us and share my findings.
In the meantime, if you have any feedback, shoot it More >
There’s An App For That – But Do I Go Apple or Android?
Jan 19th
Apps have obviously become a major part of our lives now and with more and more phones, ipods, ipads and laptops being enabled for app use, there are loads of new apps stores coming into light to offer us lots of different options when it comes to downloading our apps. Apple and Android are the two major players in this and there is lots of competition between them to find out which is the best.
First off, Apple is the tried and trusted company that has brought us the ipod and the newly released ipod touch and ipad, all of which More >
iPhone 4 Bumper Review
Aug 19th
So I got my iPhone 4 bumper a few days ago – I’ve been using it since and decided to post my own little iPhone 4 bumper review.
iPhone 4 Bumper – Review And ThoughtsWell as with everything Apple, the bumper is well packaged and well delivered. All good on that front – gotta love Apple’s packaging. Smooth.
//When I plumped for the bumper I was in two minds regarding which free iPhone 4 case to go for; there are lots of other great cases available as part of the program, including some smart looking Belkin cases.
But, I’d bought a cheap More >
How The iPhone Has Changed The Way I Work
Jul 7th
I’ve been working on a few bigger blog posts which I’ll be getting around to publishing over the next few months and something has occurred to me; as I write these posts I keep dipping in and out of WordPress on my iPhone to add and edit things within them, as the ideas enter my head.
This is something I couldn’t have done a few years ago and it got me thinking: how has having the trusty iPhone (or smart phone of your choice) affects the way I work.
Aside from the usual gaming / time killing that I do on my iPhone whilst More >
Merging Two Apple IDs For Use With iTunes
Jun 30th
Ok so whilst I was trying to solve my MobileMe POP3 problems I then realised that actually, I probably want to have my MobileMe address as the one I use for iTunes etc.
Problem is, when you try changing your (in my case) Hotmail address to your Me.com address, you get an error saying that the Me.com Apple ID is already in use. Which it is, by you.
Now you have two Apple IDs.
So, like any good geek, I tried merging two Apple IDs for use with my iTunes library but couldn’t. I didn’t want to use two IDs as there’s More >
Setting Up MobileMe To Send & Receive POP3 Email On iPhone & Mac
Jun 28th
Hey all
I’ve been looking for a way of setting up MobileMe to send & receive emails from my POP3 email accounts for a few days now, every solution that I came across had issues, until now (so far so good!).
Note: This does not use mail forwarding. I wasn’t keen on that…
The problem: I run a personal @me.com address and a work POP3 account. The POP3 account always annoyed me as I always wanted one place to login in and send and receive emails from, no matter what account I wanted to use.
I tried GMail and Hotmail as repositories for my POP3 email More >
