    iPad3 Rumor Bingo Card
    iPad3 Rumor Bingo Card

     

    CLICK HERE FOR LARGER VERSION

     

    Sticking with tradition - here is a rumor bingo card for the iPad3 made up of many of the rumors since the launch of the iPad2.  These are not all likely - and some have Zero chance - like the 2nd landscape mode dock connector or the 7" iPad.  I try and put them in order so we get a bingo on the card. 

     

    Put your thoughts in the comments below.

    New episode talking about this and more coming later this evening.

    Tell Tii - Siri and Phonetic Pronunciation

    Hi Rob,

     

    Per the caller asking for the phonetic pronunciation.  You can edit contacts and tap "Add Field" and add a Phoentic First Name and Phonetic Last Name to your own or any contact.  As you know you select your contact info in Settings > Siri so it knows your name, address, etc.  


     

    Also you can activate Siri (pick up, press home, etc) and say "Call Me ____" with whatever you want Siri to call you, it can be used for pronunciation or fun - for example, "Call Me Master" or a la Notorious BIG , "Call Me Big Poppa" ;-).
     

    Regards,

     

    Bill B

    ================

    Hi Rob. 
     

    In 204 a caller said her name was being pronounced incorrectly.  

     

    As usual apple has planned for this. Just go to any contact and then edit.  

     

    At the bottom their is a choice to add field  then use choice of phonetic  spelling for first or last name.

     

    Regards,

     

    Eddie M

    Ask Tii - Safari is missing from my iOS Device

    Hi Rob,

    Safari suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 4Gs.

    The icon is gone and I can't find it in spotlight search or the Settings either.

    Is a full restore the only way I can get it back?

    Thanks,

    Dave

     

    Hi Dave,

     

    This most likely means you turned off Safari in Restrictions. 

     

    Go to the Settings App -->  General -->  Restrictions

    --> ENTER YOUR PASSCODE -->

    Then Turn the toggle from "off" to ON to the right of Safari.  

    Hit the home button and you should then be able to find safari.

     

    Regards,

    Rob W

    Tell Tii - Snoozing Calendar / Reminders - NotifyMe

    Hi Rob,

    Regarding the question about snoozing Calendar/Reminders:

    I gave up on Apple's solution before it existed.  I purchased PoweryBase's NotifyMe back in 2008.  There is an app to sync with your Mac and you can access all reminders online. 

    One of the many features of this app is snoozing and even "keep reminding me until I say done".  I have loved the app since 2008 and even convinced my boyfriend to buy an iPhone because of it. 

    Love the show.  Great job!

    Cheers,
    Paul

    Ask Tii - Jailbreaking older iOS devices and Jailbreak app for recording screen
    Hi Rob,
     
    2 questions.. 
     
    First I have an old ipod touch 2nd gen running version 4.2.1. I wanna jailbreak it. Is there a jailbreak for this version or how can i go back to an older version to jailbreak? 
     
    Second Question...I'm looking for a jailbreak app/tweak that will allow me to similtaneously play something on my iOS device and record what i am playing on that same device while it is playing. Not sure if this is possible, but would love to know of an app or tweak that could accomplish this. 
     
    Thanks
    Tom Wilmot.
     
     
    Hi Tom, 
     
    Per your questions, 
     
    iPod Touch - 4.2.1 Jailbreak - the problem with jailbreaks for older versions is that finding the jailbreak software is tough.  
     

    How to Jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 
     
    If you look at the above link - you will see the link to download the files no longer works.
     
    What you need is the GreenPois0n jailbreak for this rev of the software. 
     
    http://www.mediafire.com/?guh7yz0njex5n8i
     
    Here is one potential link to the file - and here is another.
     
    http://www.4shared.com/zip/bHVCAzzp/gp_mac_rc4__1_.html
     
    Per your second question:
     
    Recording what happens on your screen - there is Display Recorder and ScreenRecorder.  There is a demo for ScreenRecorder - called - screenrecorderdemo - You might want to check that out first.
     
    Let me know if you have any questions per above.
     
    Regards,
    Rob W

    Ask Tii - Getting picture that was texted

    Hi Rob,

    Can you or one of your listeners tell me how I can get the pictures that was texted to me on my I pad. They are just setting there and I can not do anything with them.

    Thank you

    Fred in Bellwood

     

    Hi Fred,

     

    In the messages app - find the image you want to get out of there and tap on it.  This should open the image up.  Then tap on the open image and in the upper right tap on the box with the arrow coming out of it.  It should give you a pop up box with "save image" in it.  Tap on "Save Image"  Then hit the home button and then open the photo app and look in "Saved Photos" you should see the image there. 

     

    Regards,

    Rob W

    Hi Rob,
    Can you tell me how to download the App Store on a 1st Gen iPod touch?
    Thank you!
    LaRonda

     

     

    Hi LaRonda,

    Thanks for listening to the show.

    If you upgrade the software to v 3.1.3 - which should be the last version and latest version for it - you should get the App store automatically installed for you.

    It sounds like you are running v 1.x

    If you go into the Settings App and then General and then About - what version of iOS does it say you are running?

    Regards,

    Rob W
