Hi Raul and All, I was able to put the older version of the Dish app back on my 4S. What I did was, delete the new version of the app on my phone, then plugged it in to the pc, and it automatically started cyncing the phone to the computer I guess because the checkbox is selected to do this, is this right? I then found my phone in the sources box, cynced apps, then tabbed over and found a list of apps, and selected the Dish app. Then if I remember correct, I saw how many apps were on the phone, and then tabbed over to apply. Its now on there, but in the App Store its Still showing that I have one app to be updated, which is the Dish app, which I'm obviously not going to update. So Is There anyway to make that update go away from the app store? If not, I guess its not a big deal. Also, I'm not exactly sure what you mean Raul when you talk about a mobile applications folder. What is that, and would it be created on the phone or pc? Finally, with the way I just said I put the older version back on the phone, did I do it right? And what is the difference between the add button and apply button in iTunes when cyncing? Thanks.
