I thought I’d give my iPhone battery a bit of a charge, so I plugged it into my PC (I’m at work) and saw the following…
“Great” I thought “it recognises it”. However, my world soon fell apart as this message appeared:
Although this has happened to me in the past with other devices, I’ve always been able to charge them, however, with the iPhone it won’t charge. So…out has come the MacBook…the most expensive iPhone charger ever!
Manchester may be the home of The Premiership and European Champions and also 2 Apple Stores, but today we travelled 35 miles down the M62 to be present at the opening of the Apple Store in Liverpool.
Liverpool may have won more European Cups than Man United but we have 2 Apples Stores…
Thanks to Elaine for mocking up this photo of my Liverpool One Apple Store T-shirt
Just installed Wordpress for iPhone and testing it - so if you’re seeing this post it must be working! installed Twitterific on the iPhone too. Great when it works but….
Twitterific Failure
Are you frustrated by the amount of time it takes to export video to the H.264 format? Are you unable to use your Mac for other purposes while you are converting videos to the H.264 format?
Following on from my previous post I “successfully” upgraded 3 of our WordPress blogs (well I say successfully compared to my experience with upgrading MacBites)
Last week Elaine and I took the plunge and bought ourselves a 3G iPhone each (16GB white). You can read the full story of our 6 hour wait on Elaine’s blog.
So am I impressed? You bet I am! I’ve never been one for computer games but I’m addicted to Super Monkey Ball. I’ve also been scouring the Apps Store to see what else I can find (I can recommend Vicinity - it tells you what is available in your current location - bars, restaurants, supermarkets, etc (I’m sure they’ll add more categories in due course).
This morning one of my colleagues asked what time it was in a certain part of the world. I typed the name of the place followed by “Current Time” into the Google search box. Google responded by displaying the current time for that location above it’s normal results list.
But having to use Windows (at work anyway) gives me a good excuse
Today I was adding some new functionality to an Excel file. The file is stored on our network and when I came to save it, I got a message box saying “File not saved”. We had earlier experienced a network connectivity outage so, thinking that this was the problem, I tried to save it to the local C: drive - same problem.
I couldn’t simply copy and paste into a new file for several reasons - the file contains over 20 sheets, a large number of “Range Names” and several complex VBA procedures.
And the last straw came when I read the Microsoft Knowledgebase - Restart Windows in Safe Mode (which of course means I lose the changes to the file) and then try to save the Excel file to your local hard-disk drive.
Agggghhhh!!
