iOS 5 Upgrade Challenges
I have a colleague at work who upgraded her iPhone 4 to iOS 5.01.
We are having problems with Contacts and Settings crashing.
Can’t replicate on other devices but plenty of people on the interwebs are having the same issue with no apparent fix other than a complete wipe.
Any suggestions?
Instagram is App of the Year?
I was surprised to see that Instagram was named App of the Year by the folks at Apple who run the AppStore.
I own the app and I have used it perhaps twice. As an owner of over 500 apps, this would not have made it in my top ten, let alone take the coveted number #1 slot.
My top five apps would be:
5. Air Video
4. Evernote
3. Noteshelf
2. Flipboard
and the ultimate winner:
1. HeyTell.
Everyone loves walkie talkies, this app just plain works and works well. It avoids having to text and drive and the simplicity is beyond compare.

Like to go to sleep listening to your iPhone’s Music app and curious how to get it to “sleep” after a set period of time? One of the most annoying things is waking up a few hours later and it is still playing. Especially true if you are listening to an Audio Book and have to scrub back through hours of audio to find where you stopped listening.
Luckily you can set your iPod to stop playing after a set amount of time. It is really easy to do and we will show you how.
Open up your Clock app on the home screen
Select the Timer
Set the amount of time you want the Music app to play for
Click on the When Timer Ends button
Scroll down to Sleep iPod
Click on Set
Start the Timer
Fire up the Music app, lie back, relax and enjoy
After the timer runs down, the Music app will stop
That is all there is to it, a simple but brilliant tip that I have just discovered myself!

Having Problems with “This Playlist is Not Eligible for iCloud” error message?
It you have recently turned on iTunes Match, you might be surprised to find that not all playlists upload to the cloud. Here is the problem and the solution:
1. Locate the Playlist that has a sad cloud face. This is iTunes way of saying that it is not uploaded to the cloud.
2. Locate any songs that have the duplicate cloud icon (two clouds joined together). Because the song is already in the cloud, iTunes is not going to upload it again, and therefore the whole playlist suffers as a result.
3. Click the cloud icon. You will be asked to keep or delete the duplicate.
4. Select Delete. You can add it again later.
5. You will be prompted to keep it or delete it from your iTunes library. Delete it from the itunes library.
6. The sad cloud face will go away when all duplicate songs are removed from the playlist. Then it will be uploaded and made available to all iDevices.
