If you're wise, you'll stay away from ifix ipods, I think they're just a front for selling biltong. The worst client service experience by far. They kept my unit for 3 months and my ipod still isn't repaired. What a waste of time.

Looking for a little help please..

I have 3G, no JB..

How do I create new folders in my Photo Albums? At the moment there is just the standard ''Camera Roll''

I would like to create a few folders to organise my Profile pics and Normal pics etc..

 

[greggb]

Also..

Is all the info I have input into my iPhone.. so all my contact details etc stored on my sim card like a normal phone or is it only on the iphone?

If only on the iphone.. how can I, with an non-JB phone, backup my contact data so its safe..? I've put so mych effort into my contacts.. filling every conceivable number and date and address. If I had to lose all my contacts, I'd be pissed..

There must be a program or something?

From what I recall ...
1. You can't create albums in the camera roll, if you sync photos from your PC they will be created in folders as they are on your PC/MaC side.
2. The contacts are on the phone. If you sync with iTunes the contacts will be backed up during that process.

MobileMe is another way of backing up

That's so stupid..

So.. create the folders I want on my PC.. put the pics in there.. sync to PC.. voila?

dude seriously, there's no excuse to not jailbreak nowdays..

it's a case of running blackra1n ,clicking one button, and waiting 30 seconds (probably 10 seconds of which to jailbreak, 20 seconds for your phone to boot up)

Hey guys,

PLEASE LET US KNOW WHICH APPS YOU THINK ARE COOL IN THIS THREAD:.

http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=211132

There are so many apps out there lately, real good apps amongst the real crap apps (iFart etc.). Would be nice to hear everyones recommendations.

If it goes well, maybe we can get it stickied, and whenever someone comes across a cool app (not iFart etc. crap) then we can post it there with a little description of what it is

don't think that's necessary, i'm sure we all know how to find the apps by now. main thing is just to let people know what apps are cool as there are so many nowdays

its damn easy,i downloaded blackrain for 3.1.2 fw and plugged the device in via usb and it took 2 minutes

Only problem is that the 3GS requires it to be tethered to blackra1n before it boots up.
