iTunes is growing on me, but I only ever use it for syncing my iPad. I certainly don't intend to use it for anything else. My main gripe with it is the lousy way it deals with my video library. I have maybe 100 videos, and they're all organised on the filesystem in folders by type (film, series etc), then by series title, then season etc. In iTunes, they all get lumped into the same list, which makes navigating to a particular title a chore. A simple tree view control would make it so much easier.

Or not if you actually put it in the text into the get info > summary.

Sorry, not with you. Yes it gives me the file path, but that's not much use if it doesn't organise it by that (nor does it seem to display it as a column).

Do you know where I mean?

Right click in iTunes and then Get Info and then input said data?

EDIT: Also have a butchers at Sorting tab.

Has anyone used a T-Mobile PAYG sim with the 6 month booster for £20 added on their iPad? Not sure whether to do this or three's 3 month plan.

Ta.

Update on this, decided to buy the 3 three month 3GB sim cards, £8 each and last up to 3 months, cut the sim down and working perfectly

Umm might buy one of those on my MiFi and cancel the £7.50 5GB contract. Not using any of it

That was my reasoning, £8 for probably 3 months use is perfect, will order a few more of the sims myself.

My 6 months has just finished, got a "message" from T-Mobile reminding me to renew it.

I have a Vodafone sim with £17 on now to use but with this one credit is used even when it is sat idle (Connection test thing) so I enable Airplane mode when it's not needed.

Easy to get as well I guess.

Found one on ebay for £7.94 + free p+p and the rainforest website has some but they cost £8.91. Will ring up 3 and cancel today

So the Mifi. Is it something I can leave in the bottom of my backpack and will it work if in there.

oli356 · 22 Jan 2011 at 11:45

Can't see why it wouldn't. As long as you turn it on (45seconds)

It should still pick up a signal, i think 3 also says it should last for 5 hours or something,

It's, it's a micro WiFi router.

oli356 · 22 Jan 2011 at 12:33

Are you sure you want to get rid of the account: YES
If you stay for two more months you can get deals on iPads and laptops?
Do you want to go on PAYG, though this is £10/1GB?
Do you know any family who would use the contract? Names and such can be transferred within 24 hours? NO
What about any friends or colleagues? No, I just want to cancel

/15 minutes on the phone. "Ok one moment please, let me put you on hold while I change your account settings"

Do you have any plans of going abroad?
--some nonsense for 5 minutes-

No, Ok I have cancelled your account
--few minutes later--
"Thank you, have a good day"

Thank god for that lol

My iPad froze earlier and is now in recovery mode (connect to itunes) - is there any way to get it to work again without restoring (wiping)?

adscan · 22 Jan 2011 at 20:42

those 3 MiFi routers are very good. i use mine on the train most days. it is suprising how far 1gb goes.

Unless a hard reboot works, your have to plug into PC. Can just use your backup if you have one

Where are they £8? They're £20.99 on the Three website!

Raymond Lin · 23 Jan 2011 at 00:18

I might cancel mine too...going to buy a few of these

Has anyone who has got a Mifi tell me if its any good, say, on a long car journey where I could just turn it on and leave it for a few hours while I use it or will it lose connection when in a car?
