I finally did it. I now own a MAC. I recently purchased a new to me MacBook. I won’t bore everyone with the specs, but it has 2 gig of ram and the Intel Duo processor.

I want to create an Iphone app and realized that you really do need a mac to do development. So far (I’ve had it for 2 days) it works really well. I plan to use it more like a desktop than a notebook. This means it’s time to get rid of my trusty SSH server that is on my 9 year old dell.

As for Iphone development. My “hello world” app went well.

If you are like me you use your camera on your iphone. I have to admit it is not the best camera, but I always have it on me. So I have found over the last year that I have taken a lot of photos.

I wanted to re-stage my iphone and realized that I needed to backup these photos or at least move them. After a few little Google searches I found there really was not a great tool to do this. I found a lot on Windows XP that shows to use the autoPlay to use camera wizard. However, I use windows 7 and there is no wizard. What I did find is you can go to (Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers) or search for (view devices and printers)

This brings up all connected devices, it should show your Iphone as a Camera and you can right click and Browse files. Once you see the pictures you can just drag / drop them into whatever local folder you like.

– UPDATE –
Here is another post for some detailed instructions
