And Bump is quite good for sharing apps and photos etc with other iPhones (need to be able to physically bump phones)

sfxmum · 07/08/2011 21:34

please forgive me for hijacking but since iphone users are about, has anyone had their ipod on iphone showing 'no content' but while checking it on itunes it is all still there?

I managed to fix it once but when it happened again the same fix did not work
TIA

mrswoodentop · 09/08/2011 07:36

Does anyone know whether the problems with the latest mumsnet app update,on another thread people were saying not to update ,so I haven'tHmm

sfxmum · 09/08/2011 08:14

I don't quite know how to un install iTunes on iPhone it came pre loaded. Very annoying problem cant update software as keeps telling me it is update

About MN update the thing I noticed was when I want to add a message I get these huge letters and it us hard to see where to tap to get to sensible screen. Not aware of other problems although that is annoying enough
