Re: Itunes Won't Synch Music Via Wifi To Iphone

2012-01-20 Thread Shawn Krasniuk
Hey Ricardo and others. I don't know why, but for some reason the option to synch music was unchecked. Why is that? Is it off by default? I didn't uncheck it. Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send

Hey guys. I haven't been getting any emails from this list since Saturday. So I'm wondering, is this list still in existence? Also I have another iPhone question regarding the IMap Weather Radio app. When I used my iPod Touch I could still get alerts about warnings or watches that aren't necessa

Creating Ringtones for Iphone

Hey everyone. Has anyone been successful creating their own ringtones? I stayed up last night until 4 in the morning trying to accomplish this. First, I used a program in the Mac App Store called Free Ringtone Maker. It is kinda accessible, but there are a few unlabelled buttons that I'm sure wh

Well, the thing that disappointed me when Lion came out was the frequent pitch changes with the Nuance voices when using VO. I hope that, if the Nuance voices will still be in Mountain Lion, that that glitch will finally be resolved since I hardly doubt that they'll fix that issue in Lion. It's

Hey guys. I think that it's cool that Apple is trying to make the Mac like IOS. I'm about to download it myself, my question is will it read texts from people that don't have an I device like the iPhone does or will the messages be restricted to people that have an iPhone and that? Shawn -- Y

That point about some Macs not getting the Mountain Lion treatment brings up a good question. Does that mean my mid 2010 plastic Macbook won't be able to install the mountain kitty? Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To p

Hi. Ok, so if removing two macs will be a problem, does anyone know if Dropbox became accessible as of yet? The last I heard about that, you needed sighted help to install it onto your Mac. Is that still the case? I'm trying to help her get Skype on her Mac but when she goes to Skype.com and tri

Good morning Ricardo. Unfortunately, Dropbox wasn't already installed on here. I don't know if it comes standard on the plastic MacBooks but I heard that the MBP has it on there standard. Perhaps it may have been on here, I don't know. I've had to reformat this thing twice last year to get Windo
