Can’t add or edit contacts on iPhone iOS 5

Posted on Sunday, October 23rd, 2011 in fixes

If you have recently upgraded to the new iOS 5 and opted to use the iCloud you might have noticed that you can no longer add or edit your contacts. If you are one of these people the fix is quite simple but some what annoying.

The fix

  • Go to Settings -> iCloud and turn on Contacts. It will merge with iCloud.
  • You should be able to go back to your contact list and see the add and edit button are back.
  • If it works you can turn if off and you will still have the add and edit button.

This might be a bug but its a very strange one. Why do you need to sync your contacts with the iCloud to get the add and edit contact buttons back? After turning it on and then off again why do the buttons stay?

BBC iPlayer on PS3 not working?

Posted on Monday, August 15th, 2011 in fixes

After installing the latest firmware version 3.70 for the PlayStation 3 I noticed that the TV option had disappeared. How the hell did that happen?! This of course means that I could not access the BBC iPlayer via the icon, not like it was an issue just annoying, since it was basically loading it in the browser. I don’t know if anyone has tried using the new version of the BBC iPlayer in the PlayStation browser, it kind of doesn’t work. You can navigate using the D-Pad but you can’t actually click through to the actual video item. The essential bit! Then I thought I will just search for the item using Google, found the TV series clicked on it and was faced with a loading screen that did not load anything! I gave it two minutes more that enough time. Great can’t access that actual videos directly, this is unbelievably frustrating, I was about to explode!

Solving the issue

I would not call this an actual solution to the problem but it does bring back the TV option in the PlayStation navigation which you can then install the iPlayer application. All you need to do is log into vidzone come back out of it and for some magical reason its back. WOW! Some sort of bug somewhere in the software. If you don’t have vidzone installed all you need to do is sign into the PlayStation Store, scroll all the way down the menu where you reach “Other Media”, select it and download the free application. Hopefully this will bring back the TV section and you can install the new BBC iPlayer Application.

The new BBC iPlayer App for the PS3 is way better than the previous version.It’s natural to navigate using the D-Pad and fairly quick to load, but it sometimes lags behind if you scroll through fast. Overall a major improvement once you figure out how to install the app, which I can’t help but think that PlayStation messed up.
