Can anyone help me as I am having trouble with my new iphone. Im using itunes on a pc and I know that causes itunes to slow down however the problems seems to come from the applications and ringtones that are being transferred from itunes to the iphone. For example, I was downloading some apps on my phone when my partner advised to connect it to the pc as it would download faster, which I did. Now some of the apps that were working before I connected it to the pc don't work anymore and when I connect my iphone to the pc to remove those apps they won't delete off my phone. The apps with the most trouble are the flashlight, the 9-toolbox and facebook. Also when we purchased and downloaded some ringtones, they error out when you try to set them on the phone and I cannot set any other song to be my ringtone, only those purchased seem to be allowed but do not work, which is a rip as well. I have had my iphone for less than 48 hrs and so far, apart from the interesting features, the problems far out weigh the novelty and quite frankly it in peices and a hole in the wall where it was thrown is really starting to appeal to me... So please please please can someone help.

Hi kymiko,

As I have no practical experience with Iphone, I inquired with a colleague who may be of assistance.
Here's an excerpt from his reply to me:

QUOTE
(from)The post you quote I can only assume that Apple being Apple have got permission\licence issues with how material is acquired and will play up when it comes to something it doesn't like, eg iTunes wont recognise tunes unless they are ripped using it, I suspect something along those lines may be whats happening here.
My best advice for that person is to use a 3rd party application for using with the iPhone, just use iTunes to keep the firmware up to date, I would need to research what may work for software, but MediaMonkey can do music to my wifes iPod touch, so I imagine it could manage the phone as well, but I would have to search to see what is good\bad about the alternate options.

I am a bit tied up ATM but will try and find some time to help that post if I can, or at least try to guide them to find a result, but if the phone is that messed up it's often better to reset it to out of the box state, I assume iTunes can do that as it can with iPod, then start afresh.

I will try and get over and reply to that post in the next day or so
