Hi, If you open Mail on your Mac, press control-command-N and write a note there, it will be synced with Notes on your iPhone, either immediately or the next time you connect - it depends on how you set up the sync. Hope this helps, John André On 16. apr. 2010, at 04.31, eric wrote: > Anoth

Hello Eric, I was suggesting the Simplenote app as an alternative to the default Notes app for the iPhone. However, you should be able to sync Notes when you connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC through iTunes. For Mac users, this is done through the Notes capability of Apple Mail. In

Hi John André, I didn't think you could have an immediate sync of Notes unless you had a MobileMe account. Is this not correct? Also, don't you need to have the box checked to sync Notes on the Info tab when your device is connected to sync when you connect by USB? Cheers, Esther John

Mac Mini and idea for MacBooks

2010-04-15 Thread Rob Lambert
Since VoiceOver, and the Mac Mini have been around since 05, this will be relevant. What is your take on a full redesign of the Mini? Aside from the back, and insides, the overall system itself hasn't budged in the last five years. I think the design is starting to get stale, but what do you think?

I think the mini is kind of irrelevant, especially with the iPad coming on the scene and the bluetooth keyboard support coming in 4.0. Why does there even need to be a mini when one can just hook up their bluetooth keyboard to their iPad or phone/touch? I guess because the mini runs mac OS inste

Remember that, like the iPhone, the iPad requires a sync to iTunes the very first time it boots, so you'll need a Mac to get started with it (or a PC running iTunes). On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 10:43 PM, Jessica and Goldina < sanginsista3...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think the mini is kind of irrelevant

true, but I don't think that makes a difference. most people nowadays have more than one computer in their household. Once the innitial sync is done, you don't have to sync again if you don't want too. and maybe in the near future they'll make standalone iPads? On 2010-04-15, at 10:47 PM, Rob La
