Dont know about you guys, but my screenshots goes to this directory :-

/private/var/root/Media/DCIM/100APPLE

Creating /Media/DCIM/100APPLE does nothing in depositing the screenshot into the folder. Whenever WinSCP logs me into the iPod Touch, it loads me up to /private/var/root.

Yeah, i know that. But your words " The structure is MEDIA/DCIM/100APPLE" would imply creating subfolder 100APPLE within folder DCIM within folder MEDIA, from a "/" directory to start from. Clearing this up would help understanding it better.

You can change the Springboard strings within Customise. This beats editing the .strings file using a text editor.

There is a Customise fix i did , from one of the posts in iPodtouchfans.com, cant really recall which thread. The Fix basically batches the Customise.app, and made it to work with the Touch. You may wanna refer it there, because IMO , the .strings edit using Customise is a much more elegant solution, with text entry ala settings entry in your iPhone. Your call.

If you did it as per the link i provided, the entries to set up Mail.app should be in the Setting screen.

YEah, Mail works like that. Once set up, you dont have to mess with the settings anymore. Are you talking about setting a second or subsequent Gmail account on the Touch?

I dont know about your installation, Gilthoniel, but on mine:-

I go to Settings --> Mail --> and here is what i have:-

Accounts
--GoogleMail >
--YahooMail >
--Add Account >

Message
--AutoCheck ====Manual>
--Show ====50 Recent Messages>
--Preview ====2 Lines>
--Minimum Font Size ====Medium>

and so on.....

To create another POP mail account, i'd go to Add Account-->Other, click the [POP] tab, and enter the details.

To edit an existing Gmail account info, tap the name of that account (mine's "GoogleMail") under the Accounts column, and edit away.

To add another Gmail account, tap "Add account" and follow the prompts onscreen.

Dont you have these?

No worries. I got into it quick because i've got the iPhone to mess with before the Touch, so jumping into Settings was instinctive. I'd reckon to new users that would take time adjusting.

Have a good rest. I know i needed that when i was housekeeping my audio collection. tongue.gif

I seldom use Apollo now, seeing that there are other web-based apps that can do better. They are Meebo and Beejive. Try them on at www.meebo.com and iphone.beejive.com respectively.
