How to take a picture of your screen (screen capture)
- Hold the Home button and press the Hold button once. The screen will flash white and the picture will be saved in your Photos. You can email them to get them off.
To move icons to different screens, press and hold on any icon. They will all start to wiggle, now you can drag them and rearrange them.
To add bookmarks to your home page, when you are surfing and you want to bookmark a page, click the "+" icon and instead of just clicking Add Bookmark, click Add to Home Screen. Rearrange as needed.
Check iTunes daily under the All Free Apps as they are updated frequently.

mobileME Tip - Contacts/Calendar Sync
0 Comment Published 1:20 PM in .mac , calendar , contacts , iphone , mobileME By Matthew Stephens
Welp, you have heard the news mobileMe.. not so hot.
As of right now everything in my mobileMe is up and running, but it did not come without glitches.
One sunny day coming home from work I wanted to call a friend. Slide to unlock, phone, contacts... GONE! VANISHED!
So today I want to share a tip I have shared in Apple Discussions which has helped at least 5 people. You know of the millions of mobileME users. Well, there were millions...
If you find your phone not syncing or syncing a few contacts or publishing only a fraction of your calendar events try this.
Delete your MobileMe (or .mac) account. (don't worry it will come back).jpg)
Add an account using MobileME settings. Set it all up..jpg)
Verify your Push setting is now on..jpg)
Restart your phone.
(No Photo of this one)
Open your contacts
And just wait for a few minutes. Not seconds, even if they appear, wait..jpg)
For several people this solved the problem of both the calendar and contacts. There is another trick you can do that is talked about at the end of this apple thread.
Note: You have to be sign up for mobileMe, use the push feature on your Mac/PC and iPhone in order for this post to be of any use.
