The MacMost Question and Answer Forum is a place where you can ask how-to questions about your Mac, iPhone, iPad and other Apple products. MacMost specializes in tutorials, tips and techniques of the “how-to” variety, as opposed to “fix-it” questions that are more about something not working as expected.5/7/11

I’ve been double clicking home button and “on” button to capture a screen shot for some time. Lately when it imports in to IPhoto it only appears in portrait mode. Very awkward to mail out in that position.

Hi Gary, is there a keychain equivalent for the iphone 4? Don’t need it so much as a form-filler as much as a place to store secure notes like passwords, card info, personal stuff etc. Or is there a way to lock/password protect your Notes on Iphone 4?
