ita,

you don't want to use google apps for domain? that's what I did for the one domain I own.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

you don't want to use google apps for domain?

I have never considered that, due to ignorance on my part. Let me go read up on it. Could be perfect!

ita,

if you have questions that I can answer (some of your questions are so far above my head I think I'd need to call a sherpa), I'm happy to. I don't still use it because I no longer need it, but it worked really well for me for the 1-2 years I did.

iTunes: keeps crashing on me/becomes unresponsive about every two days or so. Is this a deliberate bug because I refuse the updates to it or to my iPhone whenever I charge via laptop? (Because, seriously, the updates are ridiculous).

you need to update itunes if your machine can handle it. it is a PITA, but you should do it.

same with your iphone. You can do updates OTA with the phone.

I've been dreading the updates for the iPhone. But the latest seems to be rather stable, and all working as it should. And now they announce iOS-7. ::sigh:: YRMV. I have the iPhone 4 (no s). I'd say go for the update.

I don't think I have the latest version of iTunes, maybe one update behind. And one thing I found much improved was the sync feature. Specifically, the books section. If you have a windows machine, I would suggest turning OFF the sync devices via wi-fi. For my single core machine, every time I opened iTunes, it would start searching for the iPad and iPhone, and just SLAM the processor. Constantly. Wasn't worth it. Poor little laptop never ran it's fan so much in it's life. Took me several months to figure out the culprit. Not sure if that feature behaves better on mac machines.

omnis,

I think you can turn off the search for the iphone/ipad.

I'll have to look. I only saw the air sync or not, but not the search or no search. Thanks for the heads up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I use hushmail for my email only domain, but that's because I have other needs. Um. And it costs per email address, so that's probably not what you're trying to achieve.

do you want the privacy features? why are you looking for that, Liese?
