Errata

This only downloads 2.5k and won't open in adobe 7 or 8 Mac.

I carefully followed the instructions for accessing "a neat, organized, chapter-by-chapter list of the
shareware and freeware mentioned in this book." I spent an hour clicking on every link I could find, as
well as using the "search" feature on the website, and was unable to find the referenced list. I have the
First Edition dated August 2007 and use Internet Explorer on a Windows Vista Lenovo T61.

The word "very" should be left out. It may be difficult, but if keys are placed in the pocket with the
phone, they can scratch the glass surface in a short amount of time.

I placed my keys in with the phone, intended to remove them, but remembered the salesman saying/
demonstrating I could not scratch the glass surface... found out he was wrong!

You tell us in this paragraph that we can set the iPhone so that we can see the caller's name and photo
fill the screen, but nowhere do you say how. I cannot duplicate the right illustration on page 32.

"All AT&T iPhone accounts include 200 free text messages per month..."

Not any more. The (basic) 200 text plan now costs $5 per month, plus 10 cents per message over that.

you do not mention that the forwarded call will still count against the plans minutes for the time of the
call. Find more info by search ATT support "call forwarding wireless"

Teleflip went out of business in August 2008. For the most common US carriers, here is how to send SMS via email:

ATT: phonenumber@txt.att.net
T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com

The most complete list of how to send SMS messages via email (including international) can be found at:

the 3rd sentence says "And it's the iPhone function that gets the ...." it should say "iPod".

Safari will not allow download of iPhone drive via www.missingmanuals.com

( You can?t flick over to the next photo until you?ve restored
the first one to original size.)

Not true. Zoom in to the limit. Pan to the edge of the picture. iPhone will resist panning beyond the
edge, but will show a sliver of the next picture. Now place your finger at the edge and firmly drag to
the center. The next picture will slide into view. If you drag back to the first picture, it will be
zoomed out to its original size.

I have tried sending pic messages to my friend who has Verizon wireless with the my email using the
@vzwpix.com, but they never go through. Is there another way to send pic messages to Verizon carriers?

According to AT&T Wireless tech support (Tim on 11/30/07 16:10PST), the IPhone does not support MMS <duh>
and hence, email sent to <IPhone>@MMS.ATT.NET will not go thru. The messages are not bounced back either
- they end up in a black hole.

You talk about e-mail address iphonecrazy@comcast.com, but do not use this e-mail address in either of
the illustrations on these two pages. This confused me.

Do you have to use "edit info" to but Reply-to address on the first illustration?

When sending email from the iPhone using the gmail account, it appears to have come from the gmail
account not the "other" account.

The paragraph mentions 3 icons that are not available for iPod video. The first 2 are correct but the 3
on page 173 is available on iPod videos and is shown in the book on page 82

page 282 does not mention screenshots. can't find any reference to screenshots in book. See this article: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080710074630863

You might want to mention the restrictions on these MPEG-4/H.264 files. For example, the iPod will only
play up to a 640x480 sized file. Larger than that, and iTunes will refuse to load it to the iPod. Also,
there are a lot of MPEG-4 files that the iPod/iPhone will not play (e.g., if they fall outside the
bitrate or framerate restrictions of the iPhone). I ran into an hour of frustration, trying to understand
why the old (pre-sale-of-music-videos-on-the-iTunes-Store) music videos would not play on my iPhone --
iTunes just gives a cryptic message about the format being incompatible with the iPhone.

The actual specs from Apple are located at:

http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html

"Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-
Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio
in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per
second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio
in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per
second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file
formats"

neglect to mention that this will stop auto importing of any images into iPhoto from your digital camera
or other media

You should add a note to the "Macintosh" section which states that, "Setting the 'When a camera is
connected, open:' option to 'No application' will also have the probably unintended side-effect of never
opening iPhoto/Image Capture/Aperture/etc. when you connect any _other_ digital camera to the Mac." The
user is likely not aware of this distinction, and he will wonder why iPhoto no longer wants to import
images from his regular digital camera, after this change is made. In Windows, this setting is per-device
(e.g., per iPhone or per camera); on a Mac, it is a global change.

The URL (tinyurl.com/2lff4y) does not take you to a page that discusses Outlook but to a page on stylus
issues.

I am looking for the plug-in mentioned in the first sentence in paragraph 5

"Clear Cache. See page 259."

Circluar reference.

All earbuds have the risk of hearing loss if the volume is too high, it is not limited to 'only' the
iPhone earbuds as implied by the wording of the tip

Believe a warning note is need to advise readers that (like their and Apple's no discounts of any kind
are offered for IPhone, it's accessories, and rate plans) one cannot share family plan minutes in two
different marketing areas.

I encountered this problem with the two phones I transferrred from Sprint ... one in area code 702 (Las
Vegas) and the other in 435 (ST George, UT). All other phones can share ATT's family plans. A rep said it
was a SIM card problem.

Bottom line: I had to establish two separate individual accounts, one for each phone and area code.

P.S. I still trying to figure out how to clear Safari's cache (pg 259)to get rid to a bogus web page that
ended up being the first page here browser went to.

It is no longer possible to enter a fictional Social Security number, as an "invalid" message appears.

This is a major problem for people who don't have Social Security numbers, but are not warned at the
Apple store that they will be barred from activating.

(At any given time, there are tens of thousands of business people from other countries who are lawfully
working or visiting in USA but don't want or need Social Security).

the last sentence "But this feature works only in Safari...." should also include
1) iPod where it works to get into cover flow view
2) calculator to get into the scientific version

mention that if anything not your fault happens to the phone it will be covered. Accidental damage is not
covered by APP.

starting on page 291 (INDEX)after the last entry "Z", it starts to repeat all of "U" through "Z", which
indicates a double printing that fills page 292 that should be blank with page 291 compliing about 60% of
the page to end the book.
