Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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?
No, I'm trying to use my domains to give people alternative addresses. Since I don't have any dark net needs (ugh, did I just trip a flag? If so, go ahead and surveil me a bit--you will find the porn is fairly even-handed).
Google Apps costs $5 per user, so it's not for me. Damn. I WANT FREE LUNCH, dammit.
wow! I didn't know it was that much. yikes.
I didn't realize it wasn't free for individuals anymore. Lifehacker may have a workaround, though: [link]
That works for one email address, though. I wanted to be able to provide it to others, like my family. I get why they charge for it, it's just frustrating to be close and then denied.
Did people who had been signed up get grandfathered into "For Business".
I don't use it anymore, but for awhile I was using gmail for my domain. Now, I just forward everything to my standard gmail account. But I just logged in to my domain on gmail and all the addresses I set up were still there.
