Printed	Page 15 and 424 15: end of paragraph from previous page, 424 battery, % full gauge	REF: 4th Edition, printed August 2010 Both references point to page 372 to show battery % full gauge. The correct page is 373.	Jim Giffin	Sep 14, 2010
Printed	Page 103 Most of page	4th Edition Page 103 and 1st half of 104 are obsolete as per the newest version of iTunes which does no longer support creating Ringtones in the manner described in your book. So the 1st paragraph on the page (103) - last sentence says..."two official ways" - it should say "one official way" and then eliminate the next 1.5 pages of text and picture.	Kay Fisher	Oct 09, 2010
Printed	Page 124 Tip box at bottom of page	This is similar to the now corrected (as of the 2nd printing) error reported by Jim Rech for the Printed edition Page 127 "Email Photograph section". In the Tip box at the bottom of Page 124, it says "...more convenient for emailing (640 x 480 pixels - not enough to print)". The size for the Email Photo function is, as now noted on Page 127, 800 x 600 pixels.	Rob Lee	Jun 29, 2010

Printed	Page 227 6th paragraph 2nd to last sentence.	4th Edition The 6th paragraph 2nd to last sentence ends with "program like Outlook or Gmail". It should have said "program like Outlook or Apple mail.	Kay Fisher	Oct 09, 2010

Printed	Page 264 Upper Middle title of "push" notifications	There is no mention of the preference that appears for "Notification." There is a brief mention of "push notifications," but the preference that shows up is just called "notifications" only after you install an app (Like 3d Sun) that activates that option. Should be changed to "notifications" in index as well.	Darren Kehrer	Mar 05, 2010
Printed	Page 264 Middle of Page	Push Notifications section. There is no mention of that setting in the preferences. It pops up when you install an app that uses PUSH outside of the default Apple Apps.	Darren Kehrer	May 23, 2010
Printed	Page 281 Syncing Notes	URL for a page on how to get notes to sync doesn't work (Help! I really need this).	Mark	Aug 06, 2011
PDF	Page 331 4th paragraph (counting tip also)	4th Edition In the 4th paragraph, last sentence it says..."if you're syncing from iPhone or Aperature"... It should say "if you're syncing from iPhoto or Aperature".	Kay Fisher	Oct 09, 2010

Printed	Page 370 2nd paragraph	4th Edition page 310 2nd paragraph seems to have an extra word or two that fell into the sentence. The sentence says ..."you can tap an app's name one to see three"... should be "you can tap an app's name to see three".	Kay Fisher	Oct 09, 2010
