MacMost: Making the most of your Mac, iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.

   Photo Albums is where you store pictures on your iPhone. When you first open up the Photo Albums application, you get a list of the different albums available. Camera Roll will contain the pictures you have taken on your iPhone. Photo Library will contain all of the photos you have choosen to sync with your iPhone using iTunes.

   
    You will also see any other photo albums you have choosen to sync. To create a photo album, use iPhoto. Then, go to iTunes with your iPhone plugged in, select your iPhone and choose the Photos tab. You can select to have all of your photos and albums synced, or only a few. You can also use Smart Albums, that will have selections based on search criteria, such as the most recent photos.
   
    When you select an album to view from the Photo Albums page, you will be taken to a Photo Library page. This will show all the photos in the album, and allow you to scroll through it. You can also press a Play button at the bottom of the screen to start a slideshow.
   
    If you press on a photo, you will be taken to a close view of that photo. You can now use arrows at the bottom of the screen to look at the next or previous picture. You can also press the Play button to start the slideshow. If you are looking at the Camera Roll, you will also see a Trash Can button that you can use to throw away the picture.
   
    At the bottom of the picture, in the left corner, is a small button that will bring up some more functions. You can choose to have the picture used as you iPhone wallpapge, you can email the photo, assign it to a contact, or send it to a Web Gallery that you had previous set up with your .Mac account and iPhoto.
   

   The iPhone calendar is a mini version of iCal, the calendar application that comes with Mac OS X.
    There are three main views for the calendar: List, Day and Month. The list view simply takes all the events in your calendar and displays them one after the other. It usually start by showing you today’s events, but you can scroll up or down with your finger to see earlier or later events.
   
    The next view mode is the Day View. This shows you only events scheduled for today. You can use the arrow keys on the top left and top right corners to move from day to day. You can also scroll up and down with your finger to see events earlier or later in the day.
   
    If you are viewing the current day, the screen will automatically start with the top of the screen close to the current time. Otherwise, the screen will adjust to show the first event. Any all-day events will be shown at the top of the screen, before the timeline of events.
    The monthly view shows the entire month in standard calendar format. The current day will always be shown darker than the rest. Under the calendar will be a shortened list view of events for the selected day. The selected day can be the current day, or another day of the month.
   
    At the top of the screen, you can use the arrows to move from month to month.
    Always present at the top of the screen in all three views is the Today button. This will take you back to the current day in any view. There is also the + button, which allows you to add an event.
    When adding an event, there are a variety of screens that you must use, starting with the main Add Event screen. From there, you can go to the Title & Location screen, the Start & End screen, the Repeat Event screen, the Event Alert screen and the Notes screen.
   
    Both the Title & Location screen and the Notes screen use a keyboard to allow you to enter information.
   
    The Start & End screen uses a scrolling clock interface to allow you to choose each time. You can also turn All-day to On. If you do, the scrolling clock interface only lets you set the start and end day, not a time.
   
    The Repeat Event screen lets you select None, Every Day, Every Week, Every 2 Weeks, Every Month or Every Year. For instance, if you select Every Day, the event will appear on every day from the current day forward.
   

   Also, if you select to have an event repeat, a new option of End Repeat is added to your main Add Event page. This allows you to choose a date on which the repeating ends.
    The Event Alert screen allows you to choose a variety of times to show you an alert: 5 minutes before, 15 minutes before, etc. If you choose an alert, the main Add Event screen will now allow you to also add a Second Alert.
   
    The Notes screen allows you to add additional information about the event.
   
    All of the screens include a Save and a Cancel button. The Save button on all screens will take you back to the main Add Event screen. So adding an event consists of a sequence of going to each of the screens and pressing Save to return to the Add Event screen. Pressing Cancel instead, will return you to the Add Event screen, but not save the information you entered.
    On the Add Event screen, you can compete the event by pressing the Done button.
    To view any event in the calendar, navigate to the event using one of the three views. Press the event to go to a screen with all the event information. Then you can press on an Edit button to go to the Edit screen, which is identical to the Add Event screen except for the red Delete Event button at the bottom of the event, instead of the Cancel button at the upper left.
   
    The main way many people use the Calendar application is to enter their events using iCal in Mac OS, and then sync with their iPhone using iTunes. The sync works both ways, taking changes made on the iPhone and uploading them to the Mac.

   Even before the official release of the iPhone, 3rd parties were coming out with iPhone cases. Each case is somewhat different, allowing Here are some cases available on the market today.

   More Information

   The iPhone’s Clock application has a lot going on that you might not expect. There are actually four different functions built in: World Clock, Alarm, Stopwatch and Timer.
    The World Clock allows you to add several different locations using a search, and it will show them all in a vertical list. Use the + button to search for and add a location. Use the Edit button to delete locations and change their order.
   
    The Alarm allows you to add one or more alarm times to a list. You can specify the sound to play, whether to allow a snooze function, and you can name the alarm. You can also have the alarm repeat on one or more days of the week. You set the time for an alarm using three dials at the bottom of the screen. So, for instance, you could set the alarm to wake you Monday through Thursday at 7 a.m., and then Friday at 7:30 a.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m. You could also set an alarm for every day at 10 p.m. to remind you to take medication or let the cat out.
   
    The Stopwatch is the simplest feature of the clock. It simply has a Start and Reset button. When you press the Start button, it changes to a Stop button. Meanwhile, the time changes and displays in tenths of a second. The Reset button changes to a Lap button. Press the Lap button and the time is recorded in the list and the stopwatch resets to 0 and continues counting.
   
    The Timer function shows a dial at the top of the screen that allows you to set a time in hours and minutes. Then you can press the Start button to start counting down. You can also specify a sound to play when time is up.
   

   The iPhone calculator is a simple calculator with minimal functions.
   
    To do a simple calculation, enter in a number, then an operation, then another number, and then the = button. For instance, to add 13+86 you would enter 1 then 3, then +, then 8 and 6, then =.

   There is also a memory function. Press m+ to store the current number in memory. Once it is there, you can use m+ to add to that number. Use m- to subtract from memory. When you want to get the result that is in memory, use mr/mc. Press it again to clear memory. When a number is stored in memory, the mr/mc button is outlined.
    The c button will clear the current operation.

   The iPhone Notes application lets you type, store and email small text documents.
   
    The main screen will list the notes you have stored, and the last time you edited them. Press on a note to edit it. Press the + button to create a new note.
    When viewing a note, you have a few buttons at the bottom of the screen. You can use the arrows to move from note to note. You can use the letter-shaped button to email your note. You can use the trash can to delete the note.
   
    Click on the body of the note to enter edit mode. This will bring up the keyboard. You can type on the keyboard to enter text. You can roll your finger over the text in the note to reposition the cursor. To enter non-letter characters, press the the .?123 button at the bottom left. You can press, hold, roll and release to enter a single special character, or tap on the .?123 button once, and then tap on a key to type multiple characters.
   
    Use the first line of each note as a title for the note. This is the line shown in the notes list, so it is the only indicator of what is in a note while viewing the list.
