Some things to try:

-Reboot the phone
-Switch to the EDGE network (not 3G)
-Try setting the permissions of the files to 777
-Waiting (there may be a problem with the network)
-Uninstalling, reinstalling, grabbing a demo license, applying the patch again

I just uninstalled and reinstalled again, and it still works :)

SyncMyCal

Does anyone here have a valid coupon code for SyncMyCal?

Alternatively: Do you know of a cheaper (or free) way of keeping multiple Google calendars, Outlook and iPhone in sync?
 
ok, i know they had it for a while, but i read on some random site about some dude saying that theyr only offering the contracts now?
 
"Houston we have a problem"

Hi to all "iphoners"
I need asistance with the following:
I have the iphone 3g 8 gb. (U.S. version which I am using with turbo sim on M.T.N. network)
I used itunes to sync stuff on to my phone but recently when I connected my phone to my computer, it said: 'something wrong with your phone, contact nearest apple store"
now the nearest apple store is approximately 8ooo miles away!
Now when I connect the phone it doesn't even show it in the itunes!
Therefore I can no longer sync it or even back up my phone.
Please advise how to solve this problem.

Thanx.

Try a DFU restore, then use quickpwn to activate it after.

From what I understand, Vodashops are not yet offering the iPhone 3G on pre-paid but places like Dion Wired will have it on pre-paid.

My boss is interested in getting one, had a guy from vodacom here last week (boss called me into the discussion), firstly, the guy was TOTALLY against the iphone, and also said they are not allowed to sell the iPhone cash. They have to convince people to take it on contract, as the profit margin is too low on a cash sale. Also on contracts, Voda pays apple R149pm per iPhone

"a guy from vodacom"? by that you mean one of their sales consultants??

well, from personal experience (and i really don't mean to generalize, but unfortunately i have to)... most of them know pretty much about the same amount about the iphone as your average brick does...

if u want the phone cash, metro @ vodaworld, but i suggest rather going to dion wired, they activate it in store for you with one of their vodacom sim cards if you're not on vodacom

Yip they are clueless, ask them about the Appstore and very few will know what you are on about.

Yip, was a corporate sales consultant (handling all our company's contracts), but I agree on their knowledge. iBRICKS! :) Its just weird that they try to turn people away from the iPhone, its like vodacom doesnt want to sell them, taking that into consideration and the fact that there's no real marketing campaign for it (compared to other places in the world, especially during launch periods). Voda could have made a fortune if the managed it properly from the start

here's a thought

vodacom fixed a price for the iPhone when the rand was around 6.90 to the US$, now they can't exactly go and double that price seeing as they buying it at a much higher exchange rate, can they? so typically i don't think they're making a lot of money out of the iphone

that aside, i doubt weather ANY sales rep for vodacom gives a flying f@(#$ about weather vodacom makes money out of a phone or not, they get commision on contracts they sign, regardless of what phone is attached to it.

as for marketing, i disagree, they had quite a brilliant marketing campaign, the whole, hush hush then boom launch worked quite well, the whole country knew exactly when the phone was launching, purely because they "didnt' want anyone to know", and advertising is still ongoing

i really think you're suffering from a retarded sales person, they talk the phone down because it cant mms or be usd as a 3G modem, because they all went to the exact same training seminaar and repeated nicely what the presenter said....

basically, if you're tech savy enough to know what you're doing when you jailbreak and use non-app store apps, get the iphone, it's so much more than anything else on the market, if on the other hand, u generally don't know how to sync your calendar and contacts with whatever phone you currently have, stay away, you won't really find benefit from the phone for it's price

i absolutely love mine
