iPhone SW 2.0 - good and bad

Yesterday it was done - I mean (U.S.) 2G iPhone with PwnageTool to firmware version 2.0 has brought (see instructions at iClarified ) and are released. The whole process took about two hours read the documentation customize firmware, reset iPhone and then another 15 giga data transfer back to the iPhone.

It all worked out quite well, even to dial into the Swisscom network ran the update without problems. Then the joy came the new features this - a few highlights:
  • The AppStore with the many programs such as the iTunes / AppleTV remote, AIM and Facebook client Shazam , etc.
  • The direct access from iPhone to Exchange Server (in our office is not possible because the WLAN is not directly to the internal network is).
  • Many small improvements such as a viewer for PowerPoint-mail attachments, searching of contacts, etc.
today but then came the great frustration: the synchronization with my business calendar ( via iTunes / Outlook ) no longer works #!!¿%#$!£!! After many trials and endless reading of support articles ( here, here , here, here , here ...) I have come no further - BIG SHIT - this is really a small GAU!

that remains is the knowledge that many people have the same problem and hope that Apple fixes the bug soon - stay tuned ...

So if you sync over his appointments on the iPhone 2G iTunes/Exchange-2003, nor should stay away from the 2.0 firmware!

Update: with the just released version 7.7.1 of iTunes is working again to synchronize the Exchange calendar. However, not right away: first it took a lot Geknorze with this and this instructions from the iPhone Calendar Forum .

How To Tie A Belt With Holes

links to files (update)

now is find my widget another way, file links in the Windows format just under To open Mac OS: the extension WinShortcutter dominated now a mapping function.

Then it goes like this: Link Mark>>> Menu Safari (depending on the active program)>>> services (or services )>>> Open Windows Link . If the link points to a Share , it should already be connected, otherwise it will not do.

very beginning but you have to define in the system settings from the mapping WinShortcutter. Here are some examples:
  • Map from \\ \\ OurFileServer \\ DeptShare on Map to / Volumes / DeptShare
  • Map from M: on Map to / Volumes / DeptShare
What is a problem still: if the link is on an HTML page behind a text, you can not mark it and the function of the service menu does not work.
