Uninstall

Launch the iSofa.app icon from iSofa.dmg and click on uninstall.

Move icons

You can change the position of each icon in iSofa home, add or delete icons. It's a little bit too difficult and dangerous for newbies so it's better not to explain this but now you know that it's possible ... :-)

Personalized background

Change iSofa background : go to your admin page to do it.

Direct WiFi connection between iPhone and Mac (without router)

On your Mac, go to your WiFi menu (right top of the screen), click on "Create a network", choose a network name and click OK.
On your iPhone, select your new WiFi network.

Now, you can access your iSofa everywhere without WiFi network in the place where you are.

Note that with this mode you can't access Internet neither with your Mac, neither with your iPhone.

Password protection

You can setup a password protection : go to your iSofa admin page.

Firewall

If you can't access iSofa, verify that your firewall is not activated :
in preferences pannel, go to security, firewall, make a test choosing "Autorize all incoming connexions".

EDGE support (NOT RECOMMANDED !)

To access iSofa from external connection (example : work place connection or EDGE), you need to know your public address (ISP address).
To get this address, visit this website www.ip-adress.com and note your address. Add the string ":9999" to complete your iSofa address.

Example : http://12.34.56.78:9999/.

If you have a router (or xDSL box), you have to forward the 9999 port to the IP address of your Mac.

It's not recommanded to use EDGE connection for obvious security reasons.
Use iSofa protection access to limit problems.

Don't try to access iSofa by EDGE using your local IP address or address with your name computer ... It can't works !

WiFi support

iSofa can work with WiFi or EDGE connection ! With local WiFi connection, you only need to know your computer name like "MattLaptop". To know this, type on your Mac Safari : http://127.0.0.1:9999/admin/. The admin page display your local address to access iSofa from everywhere IN YOUR HOUSE.

Files reading, not streaming

Use of browser is useful to launch your media files on the Mac. When files are small enough, they are read straigh on your iPhone. But, when they are too big, iPhone can't read them. We can't controll the limit, it's a internal behaviour of the iPhone OS. So, iSofa is not developped to read media files on your iPhone. But your can read .txt files, and many others SMALL files like MP3, MPG, scripts, etc..

iSofa for Mac

ISofa is Available for Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) and Leopard (Mac OS 10.5). A PC version is NOT planed ... NEVER !
