It was my phone you were trying to transfer to And I could not send you any files either. And no Ryan - they are only dodgy if you consider the puppy to be
Mind you, Colin was in the photo - so yes - it was dodgy.
So I am decidedly less-than-impressed with the battery life on the new iPad. I use it in the same way that I used my iPad 2 and whereas I used to get 3-4 days out of the iPad 2 I now get just a single day (or perhaps a day-and-a-half) out of the new iPad.

If I want to move stuff from one phone to another I plug in the USB cables and work like that. Bluetooth is just too slow and too cumbersome in my opinion.
Yeah but when you are at a restaurant and have the devices next to each other its pretty simple, especially if mail & IM are out of the question . What happens if you have no signal? You wont be able to mail or IM the pic then so what do you do? Bluetooth at least provides a way of transfer if the signal goes down.
@Tribble I vaguely remember it but my memory (as we all know) is shot to hell so I decided to generalize it .
@Stu something syncing out of control maybe? Brightness values higher than the previous pad?

iOS 6 offers Do Not Disturb feature, adds more Zs to your slumber
By Brad Molen posted Jun 11th 2012 2:28PM
Ever get annoyed when your sleep is interrupted by a call or message coming into your phone? As we were hoping, iOS 6 is getting the badly needed Do Not Disturb feature we first saw in Mountain Lion last month. The idea is simple: when activated, push notifications will be automatically muted and the screen won't light up. A whitelist option will be available so you won't miss important callers; you can also set up the feature so that if a person calls you more than once, the phone will allow the call to come through. This is an exciting option for anyone who is tired of waking up to a notification only to find out it's their turn in Draw Something.
Man the new updates to iOS are shaping up quite nicely. Might even tempt me to try it all over again .

Yeah I must say there are some nice updates to both iOS and OSX. I'll probably grab the beta tomorrow and start playing around with it. New MBP looks stunning and that resolution is just crazy...
You have to either be a registered developer ($99 per year), or use a UDID activation service so that Apple's servers can verify your device when you load it. I didn't load it yet because at this point it's probably pretty unstable, and there's no easy way back to 5.1.1.
One of the main arguments against Google’s Android operating system is the fragmentation that is spread across hundreds of devices and various software versions. Apple has even taken shots at the OS, highlighting how within a year, almost all iPhones are running the latest system version, compared to about 7% of Android users on Ice Cream Sandwich. But with the introduction of iOS 6, which the Cupertino-based company claims will deliver more than 200 new features, Apple may finally have to deal with fragmentation as well.
While the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 will be compatible with iOS 6, both devices will get a version of the software that forgoes key features. As noted by Ars Technica, Apple’s impressive 3D Flyover feature and turn-by-turn voice navigation found within its new Maps app will only work on A5-powered devices, meaning the iPhone 4S, iPad 2 and the new iPad. To make matters worse, the iPhone 3GS doesn’t support FaceTime and it won’t be able to handle offline reading, shared Photo Streams, VIP lists or Flagged Smart mailboxes.
While the situation might not be as bad as many claim it is on Android, Apple will continue to face difficulties when attempting to keep its older hardware up-to-date.

/I know its not as bad as Android and that the majority of people will be getting the new iPhone when its released but currently iOS has some fragmentation...

Ah, it is a decent time to jump ship. Now I'm just waiting on my HOX.
I know android is way more fragmented, but I like that pretty much any feature from one phone can be installed on another - eg: Samsung's S-voice has been ported to the HTC One X.

Along with the introduction of new MacBook Air and MacBook Pro computers, Apple yesterday introduced a new swath of Mac Pro desktops. The introduction was a quiet one for sure, and WWDC attendees of Tim Cook's keynote were none the wiser. It's hard to fault Apple for the decision, as the upgrade was modest at best, but that's exactly what has most upset Andy Hertzfeld, one of the Mac's original designers. Now an employee of Google, Hertzfeld directed harsh criticism at Apple. The following is an excerpt from his Google+ profile:
"The specs for the "new" Mac Pro had hardly changed, except for a tiny, inconsequential processor clock bump. Still no Thunderbolt, still no USB 3.0, no SATA III or RAM speed improvements -- it seems like it's stuck in time in 2010. The only thing that's still high-end about it is the bloated price."
Yesterday's speed bump to the Mac Pro might've come as a disappointment to many power users, but we're given reason to believe that a more substantial upgrade is on the horizon. While it's somewhat uncharacteristic of Apple to comment on unreleased products, company representatives have confirmed to both David Pogue and Forbes that a new Mac Pro and iMac "will likely be released in 2013." Naturally, the wording intentionally leaves the possibility that we may see refreshes come a bit earlier -- and we'll certainly cross our fingers -- but for the moment, both systems seem like safe buys for those needing to upgrade their desktop Macs. For those willing to wait, however, we'd like to believe that Apple has a few tricks up its sleeve for 2013.
Update: Apple has since circled back to Forbes to clarify that only the Mac Pro is targeted for an update in 2013. As for the iMac, we're merely left to hope that an Ivy Bridge refresh is already in the pipeline.
I am trying to transfer 8000+ photos to my iPad totaling 7 gigs but iTunes/iOS times out randomly meaning that the transfer fails and all attempts to resume the sync causes copies of the photos already on the iPad to be created.
What program can you guys recommend to transfer pics to the iPad.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.
The "Other" is the space taken up by the Firmware Files and the Database File that lists which music file is which. The Database File is needed because all the music you put on is renamed into 4 letter Code-words to help fight music-sharing piracy, and the Database File tells the iPod what songs are on it, all of the info associated with those songs, and where to find those songs
