Daily Tip: How to set up mail aliases on iPhone, iPad

Have a email account with multiple aliases and curious how to send email from those aliases on iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad? While Apple made this easy on Mac by letting you simply type a comma and string the aliases together, iOS doesn’t allow you to enter commas, so no easy aliases. Luckily, however, we have a work around! To find out how to get your mail aliases working, follow along after the break!

In this example, leanna@smartphoneexperts.com is the main email address and leanna@tipb.com is the alias.

Now you can send emails from your alias! However, with this current set up, you are not able to send emails from your main address. If you want that ability, follow these next steps.

There you go! Now you can send emails from your alias or main address! Take note that whichever address you listed first in the Address field is the default address for this account; however, Mail will choose the correct address when replying to emails.

Let us know if you have any questions!

Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend.

Apple releases iWork for iOS betas for developers, includes iCloud support

Documents in the Cloud

Apple has released new iCloud-enabled betas for their iWork apps — Keynote, Pages, and Numbers to developers. The betas, available exclusively through Apple’s iOS developer portal, are universal apps for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and no additional features other than iCloud support appear to have been added.

Documents in the Cloud was one of the key iCloud features announced by Steve Jobs at WWDC and the iWork for iOS beta apps are the first test implementation of that feature.

The beta apps come in a DMG file and need to be extracted, dragged to iTunes 10.5 beta 4, and then synced over to an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad running iOS 5 beta 4. (And yes, it’s somewhat ironic the first iCloud enabled versions of iWork can’t be installed OTA over iCloud, but this is a beta, right?)

Note: It looks like some people aren’t having luck syncing the iWork apps over, or wait for them to sync only to watch them disappear immediately after syncing. We’re not sure what’s causing that, and what’s allowing for successful syncs, but let us know how you fair in the comments.

Om Nom Hungry for More, Cut the Rope 2 Details Emerge

I seriously can’t imagine being able to eat pounds of candy at one time, especially the amount that iPhone puzzler, onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/itunes.apple.com/us/app/cut-the-rope/id380293530?mt=8');" target="_blank" href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cut-the-rope/id380293530?mt=8">Cut the Rope’s star Om Nom chomps up. Going through over 150 boxes, it’s a wonder that he’s not full or unable to eat yet – and that’s definitely interesting considering there’s a new sequel planned for Om Nom to feast upon. onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/wireless.ign.com/articles/118/1185343p1.html');" target="_blank" href="http://wireless.ign.com/articles/118/1185343p1.html">IGN reports that they’ve received exclusive, minor details on a second game, which will be a whole different application than its predecessor rather than yet another content update to the original.

The game will seemingly be yet another puzzler, most probably adding a bunch of new elements to the original gameplay. However, the game will not be taking place in a variety of different boxes, since one screenshot reveals that Om Nom finally [escapes] get out of them. Also, the icon above introduced a new candy shape; a star rather than a circular piece of candy./> href="http://www.iphonealley.com/news/om-nom-hungry-for-more-cut-the-rope-2-details-emerge/attachment/cut-the-rope2" rel="attachment wp-att-21170">src="http://www.iphonealley.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/cut-the-rope2.jpg" alt="" title="cut the rope2" width="468" height="351" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21170" />/> I wouldn’t expect many updates to the original Cut the Rope unless the next version will have its own storyline, which seems very likely as of now. Even though nothing as been officially announced, it’s expected that the game will be based off of a more developed storyline and simply not just an objective. This comes as the result as a new character addition, the Professor, and based on an upcoming Cut the Rope, animated comic for the iPhone.

The original Cut the Rope was great. I href="http://www.iphonealley.com/application_reviews/cut-the-rope-app-review-cute-artwork-malted-together-with-physics-to-make-the-sweetest-of-all">thought so as did the whole App Store audience. From my review:

“…the game is full of pros and no cons. Even if you aren’t convinced by my review, the game truly is one-of-a-kind proved by its quick rise to the number one spot on the app store. That alone along with the $0.99 should get you on your device immediately downloading the game.”

So, as you can see, the game was a thrill to be played and still is kudos to the semi-constant content updates. You can expect a full review and/or further details as they surface, but all I’ve got to say for now is that I’m excited.
