Some major updates came yesterday for the top location based social networking apps and strangely all around the same time.

This is my favorite of these apps mostly because of the great look and design of the app. I’m excited for the new feature that allows you to add pictures and comments.

ScreenRecorder ScreenRecorder

Available In: Cydia       Price: $1.99   ScreenRecorder is simple little app that captures video of your screen. Just load the app and hit record, then load the app you want to record. ScreenRecorder runs in the background. Once you’re done recording, you have to go back into the ScreenRecorder app to stop the recording. The developer warns of not recording over about 45 seconds due to memory issues... [Read more of this article]

ScreenDimmer ScreenDimmer

Available In: Cydia       Price: $0.99   I’ve been looking for a replacement to an app I used to use called iDimLight. It basically mirrored the feature of the Mac laptops that dims the screen to save battery when you’re not using them. I tend to never use the autolock feature and just manually lock my iPhone. Now I can have my screen dim after being on for 45 seconds or whatever I set it... [Read more of this article]

Live Cams Live Cams

Available In: App Store       Price: $1.99   Live Cams is one of the few apps that make it right on the front page of my iPhone. I’ll tell you the reason right up front before the entire review. I only use a few of their features but there are many more. So why is it on my front page? Because when opening the app, I can customize it to show thumbnails of the camera’s I’ve added myself.... [Read more of this article]

iPhone backups a bit slow? Dump those imagesThe Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Filed under: , ,

If your iPhone backups and restores are taking a ridiculously long time, Apple suggests you take a quick peek at your Camera Roll.

In a new Knowledge Base entry, Apple reminds users that photos are backed up each time you do a sync, even if there are no changes to the Camera Roll. The result can be a sluggish backup or restore.

If you already have the photos copied into iPhoto, you're good to erase them from the Camera Roll. Apple has some advice for getting the pictures back to your iPhone if you need to:

1. Ensure the iPhone is connected to your computer.
2. Open iTunes.
3. Select the iPhone in the Devices list in the left column.
4. Click the Photos tab.
5. Ensure that "Sync photos from" is enabled and choose the appropriate source from the adjacent pop-up menu. For example, if you imported your photos into an application (like iPhoto), you would select that application in the list. If you imported your photos to a folder (using Image Capture, Scanner and Camera Wizard, or Windows Photo Gallery), you would select Choose Folder and then the folder in question.
6. Click Apply or Sync.


The article details procedures for Macs, Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

There are other things that can slow down backups. I've seen them be very slow one day and quite snappy the next. Explanations can sometimes be hard to come by, but regular backups will keep the times down. Also, if you've added a lot of new apps, your first backup after adding them can be pretty long.

For more details on the issues with a full Camera Roll check the Knowledge Base article, and don't let those photos on your phone get out of control.

50,000+ iPads Solid in Two Hours, Multiple-Unit Orders Have Pick Up Locations ModifiediPhone Alley - RSS

ipad_switchesa299b.png

Multiple sources have reported to MacDailyNews about telephone conversations they've had with Apple reps regarding changing their iPad orders from delivery to in-store pickup in the case of multiple iPad buyers.

In these cases, the purchasers have been told that in order to do such a change, the delivery order would have to be cancelled and a new in-store pickup order completed, but that iPad orders (which began this morning at 8:30am EST) have been "so overwhelming" that new iPad orders may not be available for in-store pickup on April 3.Apple's online store is still reporting that customers who reserve Wi-Fi iPads will be able to pick the units up at their local Apple Store location "between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on April 3."
