After you click on your device in the sidebar, do you then click on Applications in the center of your screen which is in the following list: Summary, Info, Applications, Ringtones, Movies, etc??

There is also an Applications selection in the side bar under Library and that's not the one you want to select.

Just checking to make sure.

If you're looking at the right area and none of your applications show, I'd probably head to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store if you have one close by. Sounds to me like less an iPhone issue and more of an issue with either iTunes or your computer.

Yes, doing it just as you described, Cholula. Oh well… guess I’ll head to a Genius Bar at some point.
Thanks

You do have iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.x, right? Because it won't work with older versions.

doesn't it need to be OS 3.1.x? I didn't get that display in itunes until I upgraded the phone OS from 3.0.x to 3.1.2.

Yes, you're right. It's >= 3.1 not 3.0.

Well, I’ve got the iPhone 3G operating 3.1.2
Still no luck. Inconsequential now… I called on the REAL brains- my 15 yr. old son. He knew exactly how to drag an icon backwards a page or two on the touchscreen of the iPhone.

I suspect that's because Hotmail only supports POP3, not IMAP. POP3 is a strictly one-way protocol: it downloads email from your inbox to your device (and under most ISPs, then deletes it from your server--Hotmail probably leaves it on the server, though). It doesn't synchronize anything else--read vs. unread status flags, moving the message to another online folder, or any of that. It was designed to operate like a post office box (POP3 stands for Post Office Protocol, v3)--the mail agent puts it in your box and you collect it and take it home with you.

IMAP offers much greater flexibility. With IMAP, you don't download your messages and take them with you--you view them on the server itself. So any messages in your inbox stay on the server. If you delete a message out of your inbox, it gets deleted on the server. If you move a message to another folder, it gets moved on the server. If you mark it as read in your mail client, it gets marked read on the server. This means that when you then access your email via webmail or on another computer, all of those changes get synchronized across all of your mail clients and devices. The chief downside to IMAP is that since the mail always resides on the server, it can fill up your mailbox quota much faster. My old university email box with a 10MB quota would fill up in a week (that's just text--forget about attachments!), so I'd have to go in and constantly delete messages or move them to an archive on my computer.

That's why I'm such a fan of Gmail (and Google Apps): you get IMAP access but never have to worry about cleaning up your inbox. For packrats like me, the (what is it now) 7GB they give me allows me to keep all of my email I've ever received and still have enough room for anything more I'll ever get.

Yahoo! also allows IMAP on the iPhone (complete with push notifications, actually, which are very nice), but only on the iPhone. They don't allow IMAP access to email clients (like Outlook), so you're stuck using the web interface, but at least your read/deleted/folder organization changes are synced between the server and your phone.

All that, combined with the virtually flawless Gmail spam filter (no one else even approaches it--99.999% of spam is caught and there's probably a 0.0001% false positive rate) make me recommend changing to a Gmail account (you can then forward your old Hotmail address to your new Gmail address so you don't miss any messages). If you're stuck on Hotmail, though, you'll have to live with the reality of not being able to sync your inbox on your iPhone with your online inbox, since they only provide POP3 access.

One thing that might help you process and delete your 700 unread emails faster: you can change the number of emails the iPhone receives at any given time up to 200. Look for the setting under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Mail section>Show [#] Recent Messages. Then, to quickly delete messages, when viewing your inbox, tap the "Edit" button in the upper right corner and then tap each message you want to delete, selecting multiple at any given time. Then tap the red "Delete" button at the bottom of the screen.

well, with IMAP one still downloads them off the server so one can read everything offline and disconnected from the internet (at least if you use some form of client and not just a web browser) but indeed the "synchronization" that occurs makes everything uniform across all platforms and across the browser access.

Sorry--unclear. I meant it in the light of "you don't take your mail out of your P.O. box." Yes, your mail client does retain a cached copy (depending on settings) for when you're not actively connected to the Internet.

SNCF just came out with a new app. This is vastly better than the .mobi website that I used to have to use. This is my new favorite app. ^

Scrabble and Runkeeper have proven to be my most used apps by far.

There's also a Trenitalia app. but it's apparently only in Italian and only available for Italian iTunes Store.

I think another cool app. would be the TFL travel planner engine as an app., provided free by the agency. Same thing for other metro systems which have trip calculation engines (you enter beginning and ending address and they have a step-by-step list of which metros and bus combos to take).

I was thinking about getting Scrabble because it's one of the few games that you can play online.

But when I tried playing Scrabble on FB on the computer, didn't see too many games.

Otherwise, if you play the computer, it apparently cheats.

Many transit agencies (and the number is always increasing) participate in Google Transit. Google Transit can be accessed on your iPhone by searching for directions in the Maps app and tapping the icon of a bus at the top (between the car and the stick figure) before tapping "start."

Thanks, didn't know that. Tried it for Madrid, found the directions by car but not by the transit system.
