Folks, Just wanted to return to this issue that was raised and discussed several months ago. I bugged it, and again flagged it last night. Did anyone else do so, and have you received a response? Dónal Dónal Fitzpatrick dfitz...@computing.dcu.ie --- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---

Hi Donal, I have experienced an issue similar to yours, not just once but several times. Through extensive use of google, and other mac and iOS geeks, I have found two things to be true. Jailbreaking is the only, Easy, way to do it. If that makes any sense. There are third party solutions,

Hi, I started researching this after sending my reply. I was unable to get lines as a navigation option either. I have also read where others have reported the same. I apologize for steering you wrong with my answer, but I figured it would work since it seems to work everwhere else. There

I can say that it is possible for apple implement this feature, with some acceptions. For example, you could sync music, tones, movies, books, and photos from any iTunes library. At least any thing that wasn't drm protected such as you couldn't sync a song your friend bought from iTunes that

Hi Nemanja, Thanks for getting back. There is one (and possibly a second) app which does what I, and I'd imagine others, need it to do. You don't need to jailbreak the phone. However this app is totally inaccessible. The good news is though that I'm in contact with the developers. It is a

What happens if you at least line up to the html and hit the tab once? Does it then show up? Had a couple of them do that to me last week too, but only a couple of them. Then after a tab or two was able to move around the content okay. On Sep 5, 2012, at 3:26 PM, Lovette Yewchan
