I have an iPhone and my son has an iPod Touch. Until recently, we’ve been frustrated by our inability to share apps that one of us buys. Fortunately, we’ve since figured out how to share apps without re-buying them, and it doesn’t even violate the iTunes user agreement.
Have you ever wondered where Mac OS X stores your iPhone or iPod apps? If so, then you’ve come to the right place…
To find your apps on your Mac hard drive, simply navigate to:
~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Inside the “Mobile Applications” folders, you’ll see a ton of .ipa files. These are your mobile apps. Curious as to why you might need this info? Check out my article about how to share iPhone or iPod apps between multiple users.
Have you ever wondered where Windows stores your iPhone or iPod apps? If so, then you’ve come to the right place… Note that the following assumes you are using Windows XP. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc.
To find your apps on your Windows hard drive, simply navigate to:
My Documents > My Music > iTunes > Mobile Applications
Inside the “Mobile Applications” folders, you’ll see a ton of .ipa files. These are your mobile apps. Curious as to why you might need this info? Check out my article about how to share iPhone or iPod apps between multiple users.
This is just a quick tip for all you bloggers out there. If you’re using your site for anything more than just a personal journal, I would strongly suggest not using dates in your urls. There are numerous good reasons for this. I’ll outline three of the biggest ones below.
Have you ever wished you could schedule an e-mail message to be sent in the future? I have. And until today, I hadn’t found a good solution. While some local mail clients include this feature, Gmail does not. Moreover, even if your client supports scheduling, you’ll likely need to have it open at the right time in order to work. Not exactly failsafe in my book.
My son has an Asus Eee PC, and he uses it frequently for school projects. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your perspective) he doesn’t have Microsoft Office. Instead, his netbook came with StarOffice (essentially OpenOffice with a fancier name) pre-installed, so he’s using that.
We have a Garmin nuvi 260W, and we love it. The wide screen and text-to-speech functionality make navigation a snap. We were thus very disappointed when our GPS suddenly stop reading of the street names.
When I got my iPhone, it was love at first use. Aside from that pesky dark spot on the camera lens, I’ve only had a few minor complaints. One of the most frustrating has been the apparent lack of a caps lock function on the virtual keyboard.
Just over a year ago, we got our first GPS navigator. We’ve had various handheld GPS units over the years for geocaching, but we’ve never had a dedicated unit for in-car navigation. All I can say now is that I’m glad we took the plunge.
Did you get a digital camera for Christmas? If so, you might be wondering how many pictures your memory card will hold. Most digital cameras ship with a very small memory card (if they have one at all), so you’ll almost certainly want to pick up a larger memory card, which will allow you to shoot more between downloads.
