Hi all, I am sorry if this is a little off topic. Is there only one type of band for the fitbit flex? It seems that the two I have keep breaking in the same spot, basically at the joint as the band is not entirely smooth. thanks. -- The following information is important for all members of

In the announcements this week, it said that IOS 8 would be supported on the iPhone 4S and later. Performance improvements can always be made in an OS to keep it running on older hardware, take IOS 7.1.1 on the 4S for example. I suspect you're right though. There's not much incentive to keep

It deletes unnecessary files from the IPhone. I think they may have changed the name to iDisk+ Their are a few more features but it does the same as before as well and better. On 6/3/14, Sharonda Greenlaw sbgreen...@gmail.com wrote: I don't think it's back in the App Store. I get notifications

iCloud syncing and iCloud and native app

I have 2 questions. 1. I don't think this is possible, but if it is I will pass on the instructions on how. There are 2 people I know. One wants to get a ringtone from the other. Can the second person put it on iCloud and can the first person sync it from the cloud? 2. If I have an iCloud

1. No, iOS needs iTunes to sync ringtones. You can buy one right from a phone, but that is the only other way I know of. 2. Yes. Simply enable Mail, create your email address if you don't already have one @icloud.com, and you're done. Note that you cannot use that iCloud address for your Apple

I would really like the ability to do file and folder management and to be able to transfer files of all types from my PC or laptop to my iPhone as if it were an external drive. I resent having to use iTunes for any file/folder management task and would dearly love to tell Apple to take

Well, iOS devices are not thumb drives, and I doubt you will ever be able to use one as such without a third-party app of some kind. That said, if an app integrates the upcoming iCloud Drive option, you will have basically what you are seeking, on an app-by-app basis. For example, say you edit

Hello All, Here's a work around solution. On my Mac Air, I have installed Win 8 into bootcamp. I use One Drive, which is installed on the Win 8 side as well as the Mac side on my Mac Air and i have also installed the One Drive app on my iPhone 4. I have no problem accessing any of my files on

I'm not sure iCloud Drive would satisfy those people who want to be able to access their iPhone like a thumb drive. iCloud Drive would still only work on an app by app basis. You couldn't copy your music over in the folder structure you want, unless the Music app supported iCloud Drive and

I'm guessing the lack of a file system was not an oversight. How many people would stop using iTunes if they could move files back and forth from their device to their computer or other devices? I'm thinking Apple did this intentionally for this and other reasons to protect their proprietary

Neal, you might be right, but also, the structure of file access has to do with the apps on an iPhone having limited interaction with other apps. I'm not a developer or engineer, but basically, this makes for a lot of security, so there are few holes that can be hacked into. This makes browsing

Hello All, You should try Dropbox. I love it.. I share files between my pc, i phone and my notetaker. I create folders on dropbox, then I just drop my files in there, even my music, and it is available for any device that I choose to use. I can not remember when I last used I-tunes for

Good point Neal. I'm also thinking not exposing the iOS file system probably serves to prevent viruses or file corruption as well as preventing problems with accidental or deliberate deletion of important system files. Yes, I too would like an easier way to move files back and forth, but I also

Just as a side note, Apple's iOS devices uses a linux-based file structure. If any of you have ever used a Linux computer, or taken a close look at the structure of files on OS X, that's exactly how it works. It has a /etc, /sys, and /home directory, just like Linux, and has an additional

That's a good point, I too am glad of the security. However, how does one explain the fact that the Mac does have a file system and there is still very good security there. Meanwhile, there has to be an update to Windows security more often than I can keep up with. Neal -Original

Reasons are probably endless, but... There isn't a large population of hackers and such targeting Macs. Nevertheless, as you well know, there have been viruses targeting Macs. Besides, why chase after the dolphins when a ride on the Microsoft whale can be much more exciting for the hacker.
