Used the "Voice Memos" to record an important speech during a formal dinner.

Tried to "Share", but it wouldn't let me email it because it was "too big".

So, I used Fugu to SFTP into my jailbroken iphone, found the directory
where the voiuce memos are recorded and just uploaded it to my mac.

These are the types of restrictions that Apple has imposed which look bad.

I recorded a 61 minute conference with voice memo. It came to 30.1
megabytes. Of course I couldn't email it because the email provider (not
the iPhone) said it was too big.

But I was able to transfer it to my Macintosh without jailbreaking the
iPhone. There's this application called "iTunes" that lets me do that.

When you sync to your mac, it'll be copied there. No need to jailbreak
for this.

I think false complaints make the complainer look worse...

There certainly are things you can do with jailbreaking that
you can't do without. This is not one of them.

I'm glad jailbreaking works for you. For me (and pretty much
everyone I know except for one person) the downsides outweigh
the up-sides. The one person I know who keeps his iPhone
jailbroken does it only for some hotspot thing. Meanwhile,
he has to hold off on software updates and the security
and other improvements that come with them.

FWIW, I love the new Notifications management in iOS5 and
can easily understand why folks might have jailbroken to
get some of those features - but they were never close
to worth putting off software updates for.

If you're away from home and want to send that long file, there is
obviously a need for some change.

I too don't want a jb'd phone. But I do wish there was more flexibility
in some areas as Mezei points out.

I have a jailbroken phone so I'm not opposed in principle.

But there was a perfectly good solution to this "problem" without
jailbreaking (use iTunes) so it is hard to see what your point is.
Yes, since your phone was jailbroken, you were able to move that file
a different way from the one Apple intended. So what?

I've had a JB Iphone for years with no problems or setbacks. I have
everything you all have, plus everything else you have to wait for Apple to
give you a year later. Updating is a breeze. My phone does it all and is
completely customizable as well. I have no complaints and don't need to use
the often buggy and slow Itunes. I just go into my Iphone HD and do what I
want.

Congrats. Now get a newsreader that does proper attribution.

That's what I would use my laptop for, personally.

OK, I ask this honestly:

My laptop is not kept up to dat in terms of itunes library versus my
real Mac.

I sync my phone with the real mac.


So if I sync my iphone to the laptop, will it cause music and other
stuff to be deleted from the iphone because the laptop doesn't have it ?
Or will the data present on iphone get copied to the laptop ?

It was never clear to me what the policy is with regards to what device
has the power to delete data on another device.
