A Million iPhone Fools March

I am so mad at Apple right now...
If Steve Jobs was in my face right now @##$#@#$#@##

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
There are a number of utilities for locating duplicates that you will find at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

    If you were a true "anconfirmed apple devotee", you would know that Apple doesn't pre-announce new products.
    You'll have to wait like everyone else to find out when the next iPhone is announced and the features it will have.
    You should also know that Apple forbids speculating about future products in these forums.

  • Bought iPhone in March 2010 - possible to upgrade or buy the new iphone 4?

    Can it be possible to upgrade or buy the iPhone 4 without canceling my A&TT plan? I got the iPhone 3GS and the unlimited plan in March 2010.

    From what i understand, Jobs stated at the WWDC that ANYONE under an expiring 2010 contract (expiring within 6 months of iPhone 4 release), At&t is allowing us to upgrade to the iPhone 4. Here's the exact quote and the link to the press article --
    "AT&T is going to make an incredibly generous upgrade offer. If your contract expires at any time in 2010, you can upgrade to the iPhone 4. You can get it up to six months early," Jobs added.

  • Campagne de rappel IPHONE 5 (Marche Arret)

    Pourquoi Apple ne prête aucun appareil durant le temps de réparation de appareil défectueux ?
    Apple sait le faire dans d'autres cas !
    Le client a été pénalisé de longue date par ce dysfonctionnement avant qu'Apple ne se décide a rappeler les produits et en plus il faut avoir la possibilité de se passer de téléphone pendant 15 jours.

    Vu sous cet angle effectivement !
    Au demeurant au delà des clauses "contractuelles", le prêt d'un matériel se pratique ;
    La preuve : http://www.phonandroid.com/apple-rappelle-iphone-5-defectueux.html
    "Ce programme de réparation gratuite débutera le 2 mai en France. Ceux qui le souhaitent pourront se faire prêter un iPhone 5 (16 Go) pendant le temps des réparations"
    Pourquoi les clients sont ils traités de manière différente ?????

  • IPhone 4 - extreme errors downloading iOS 5

    Hello, please help me!
    My name is John and I am 16 years old.
    I attempted to download iOS 5 a few hours ago, and have since been dragged through a series of errors. My ability to recount every error along the way is impaired, and I hope that the information I am able to provide will be enough.
    I plugged in my iPhone 4 and began the download process for iOS 5. I had to leave the room for about 20 minutes. When I left, I "think" my iPhone was in the process of backing up. When I returned, the screen on my laptop had gone black. I moved the mouse and found I was at my login screen. I typed in my password, and was returned to the screen, where an error message informed me something about there being an issue backing up or restoring my iPhone's content. the error tag (-50) was at the end.
    I've since gone through a quadzillion amount of steps, nearly all of which I have forgotten, and am now at this point:
    EDIT: When I clicked "John's iPhone" page again, I can see all of my phones information. If I click Restore, it asks me if I want to back up my settings. Before I had been clicking Back up, and kept arriving at the same error. If I click don't Back Up, it warns me that if I restore my iphone to factory settings, all of my media and other data will be erased. I obviously don't want that... but do I have to do it?
    When I plug in my device, the page under "John's iPhone" is titled: Set Up Your iPhone. I can set it up as a new iPhone, or restore from backup. My only two backups are some time during march, and an option for a few minutes ago. The option from a few minutes ago would probably be the backup of an empty, content-less iPhone. Earlier I was able to view the amount of data stored on my iPhone, and it told me that it was empty.
    Anyway, the main issue right now is, when I try to restore from the backup of my iphone from march and a few minutes ago, I get the error message: "iTunes could not restore the iPhone "John's iPhone" because the backup session failed".
    At this point I am going crazy.
    MY IPHONE ITSELF is at the stage where when I press the home button, the big word "iPhone" appears with the scroll bar at the bottom reading "slide to set up" in a million different languages. I then choose to enable location services, choose a wifi network, and either setup a new iphone, restore from icloud backup, or restore from itunes backup. I choose iTunes backup. I click next, and it tells me "connect to itunes"
    I am connected to itunes. I am being bombarded with this error message and have no idea what to do. I'm afraid all of my contacts and images have been lost. Please help ASAP. I appreciate it so much.

    If this is on the actual download from itunes then this is an issue with your ISP.
    If this is on installing the IOS to your phone (after extracting file), then it could be a security software issue.

  • WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE UK WITH IPHONE COST IN UK - US CAME OUT BETTER.

    From BBC Article Today from their Web Site... IS IT A BETTER DEAL.....
    UK iPhone users get better deals
    The iPhone was launched last summer
    Better deals for UK users of Apple's iPhone are being launched as operator O2 overhauls tariffs less than three months after the mobile hit the stores.
    The lowest £35 monthly tariff is to offer about three times as many texts and minutes, while the current £55 deal will be cut to £45 from Friday.
    O2 is also introducing a £75 deal, with 3,000 minutes and 500 text messages.
    Apple slashed the US price two months after the iPhone's launch, sparking rumours of slowing sales.
    But the manufacturer later announced that it had sold one million iPhones ahead of its target date of the end of September. The phone had gone on sale in July.
    UK customers will be switched automatically to the new deals by mid-March.
    Fast-selling
    Those on the £35 deal will see their allowances increase from 200 minutes and 200 text messages, to 600 minutes and 500 texts.
    Users paying £55 a month will enjoy a £10 cut on a tariff offering 1,200 minutes and 500 texts.
    Sally Cowdry, O2 UK marketing director, said: "The iPhone is already our fastest ever selling device and this added value will allow us to appeal to an even greater segment of the market - it is an unbeatable proposition."
    Contracts for existing customers are to continue for their 18-month term, but there will be no compensation for the previous period offering fewer minutes and texts.
    Apple compensated US owners with $100 (£50) vouchers after cutting $200 (£100) off the price of the eight-gigabyte version of the iPhone.

    This is OLD news: article was posted on Jan. 30, and there are at least two threads already on it.
    If your question is is it a better deal for UK iPhone users, then clearly it is.
    What is your point? Are you comparing AT&T's package with that of 02, or the price of the handset; if the latter, then after taking into account sales tax and shipping, there isn't much in the difference, as far as I can see.

  • How can I sync my iphone from itunes? It seems to be "blocked"

    Hi! I bought my iphone on march in NY & when I came back to argentina and configured it, I discovered it isn't able to sync music, videos or photos from itunes. I also have an Ipad but I've never had problems with it. I don't know what to do. When I press the sync button it just doesn't download the files to the iphone. I 've tried to manually choose the music I wanted to sync, but I'm not able to press the buttons as they don't seem to work. Also, on the phone it shows there's no music files.

  • If iPhone 4 is bad hardware, will a new phone be exchanged for this one?

    After reading all the problems people are experiencing with the iPhone 4, I still have hope and have yet to give my final judgement on it's competence. I will tell you that I too have been experiencing the same signal issues and dropped calls, even with the phone in a case. The other serious problem is with the bluetooth headset connection. Just like many other people, the iPhone 4 can't keep my headset connected more than 7 or 8 feet away from it and everyone tells me they can't understand what I am saying. The same headset, paired with other phones (including my 3GS) is working great.
    With all that said, if Apple can't fix these problems with software and has to redesign the phone, will they swap our iPhone 4 (first generation) with the new iPhone 4 at no charge to us????!???
    I love this phone, but I am having too many connection and bluetooth problems to just say "oh well, I'll just learn to live with it!"
    Can someone from Apple please tell us, when they know, what is going on.
    I and many of us will be as understanding and patient as possible, but we would like the truth as is discovered. Please.

    Can someone from Apple please tell us, when they know, what is going on.
    I and many of us will be as understanding and patient as possible, but we would like the truth as is discovered. Please.
    Let's go through all your concerns one by one.
    1. Not everyone is experiencing problems with the phone. If you read these forums over the years, when a new Apple product comes out, there's all these "issues" that pop out. Most are bogus. Many are user errors. When the iPad came out a few months ago, you should have seen the garbage being said. Now it's quiet, with people asking legitimate questions. It's the same here.
    2. As for the antenna problem, it is not a vast majority who is experiencing it. With over 2.5 million iPhones sold across the world, if even 10% have a problem, then the noise level would be overwhelming. This forum is one of the first places people come to figure out an issue, and you're not seeing thousands of complaints, just a few. The problem is rather random, which leads me to believe it's a manufacturing defect, but Apple and others claim it's a software bug. Who knows. It seems a good case or bumper cures the problem, and I always use a case, so I think it's easily cured.
    3. As for the bluetooth issue, again, it's not an overwhelming issue. For example, my iPhone 4 connects to every Bluetooth device I have, including a 5 year old car with a Bluetooth system. I don't use a bluetooth headset (I don't like the sound quality, and I want to listen to my music in high fidelity, which bluetooth is singularly unable to perform), but I tried it, and it worked. I am a statistical sample of 1, so take it for what it's worth, which, in a statistical sense is useless. But so is anyone else describing their anecdote. You need to try it yourself. Some older headsets just seem to fail with newer bluetooth standards. If it doesn't work, get another iPhone, Apple is good for that.
    4. If there is an issue with the phone, whether, software, firmware or hardware, Apple will do the right thing. They know, as do most corporations who sell products, what constitutes whining and what constitutes a real problem. But they aren't going to say anything, until they say something.
    5. No one from Apple reads what you're writing. If you want to voice a concern, this isn't the place to do it. And once again, even if they did, they will do what they need to do to make everyone happy. Let's just say my personal experience with a MacBook Pro last year was dealt with in the most professional way possible, and they made me extremely happy. And that was a $3000 item.
    Just relax. If Apple is going to treat its customers unethically, which is not indicated by its past behavior, then I'll be the first to bash them.
    Go buy one (but there's a three week wait, so you'll really have to be patient). If it has a problem, walk, run, drive, bicycle to your local Apple Store, and get it replaced. They'll make you happy. If you return it four times, I'd ask to see the manager. They'll really make you happy, I promise.

  • Iphone won't show up in itunes no matter what!

    I'm having the same non-sync problem that others are having with itunes 10.1 on Windows XP Pro SP3 not ever acknowledging my iphone. Could my graphics card have any effect on this? I have an Invidia Quadro FX 3400.4400 currently in the slot.
    If my iphone isn't plugged in my itunes comes up and runs just fine. If my iphone is plugged in, itunes comes up and it's all gray, album covers and everything. Pretty soon, several minutes, the colors suddenly appear in itunes but then it's "not responding" and never shows an iphone for a "device." I've rebooted both iphone and computer. Itunes dianostics reports there is no iphone connected and the USB green arrow in the status bar only shows my usb printer is connected. I think the iphone used to show up there. Another thing, during all these circumstances I've described, I can see the iphone in my explorer directory and can even browse the photos on it like it's a hard drive. That's with no device showing on itunes and no USB connection showing in the task bar on the lower right.
    What could possibly be more confusing that that? If I reinstall itunes, do I lose all my music? How can I ensure that I won't? I've spend two days loading songs in and now itunes won't see my iphone (3GS running 4.1) and that's the only reason I did the music! Help.
    From what it sounds like, if we have 1 million iphones out and only 50 people are complaining, then there really is no problem. Boy, you guys are sounding more like the government everyday!

  • Ready to throw my iPhone in the bin - answering calls

    Hi guys, can anybody help me with how to fix my problem? Basically, I cannot answer my phone properly half the time, because of the "Remind me" and "Respond with message" buttons.
    When I take it out of my pocket, these buttons are accidentally activated because the screen rubs against my pocket. It's not rare - it's about half the time. The phone stops ringing and I have to dismiss the screen, its a nightmare. Worse, I have even on several occasions accidentally declined calls with a response, it is so embarrassing to call back and explain the reason is my iPhone. When the other caller uses Android, the laughter back is painful.
    I thought that it's common sense and basic design, that when a touch-screen phone is locked, no simple buttons should become active in case they are accidentally pressed in pockets. Isn't this why you have slide to open/answer call/open camera etc?
    After so many feedbacks, and so many updates to iOS, I am really annoyed this problem is not addressed.
    Perhaps there is some setting or feature I am missing? I just want to remove these buttons or make them sliders. The best I have found at the moment is activate Touch ID or passcode and disable the "respond with message" button, but the problem remains with the "remind me" button??
    I have submitted feedback to Apple so many times, to please add a setting to disable BOTH these buttons AND to make sure it works with people who don't want to use Touch ID or passcode. After so many feedbacks and so many iOS updates, I think maybe I am missing something and I am not using my iPhone properly as surely such an essential feature can't be this badly designed. Can anyone help me please?

    It's not odd at all. It's called the 'tip of the iceberg' effect.
    No-one at the dinner table had reported it on Apple Support Communities either - not even myself ! This does not mean we have not met with this problem, or are liars or fantasists.
    There are all kinds of bugs or issues or problems which so few people report. It does not make the problem any less real or popularly encountered or troublesome.
    When there are problems that affect a large number of people it is reflected in the forums very quickly. For example:
    You will note that it is 2 1/2 MILLION views and almost 13,000 posts. Before the thread was locked 3 years ago. This was an actual bug, and it affected less than 1% of iPhone users, but still got the response you see. And this was a time when there were less than 100 million iPhones in use. Now there are almost 600 million. So if yours was a problem for even a tiny minority you would see lots of posts about it.
    You need to change the way you use the phone to avoid the problem. No point in getting a different phone, either, because all smartphones handle this the same way.

  • IPhone 6 bottom speaker quiet

    I bought my iPhone in March, I've not had any problems with it apart from every so often the sounds decide to suddenly become quieter.  This includes camera shutter sound, lock noise, notifications etc etc. When the phone is restarted it goes back to normal and the sound is at the volume it should be, however after a while (this could be 30 mins or up to a few days) the dound level goes back down again. I know a restart is only a minute or so job however it's getting quite annoying.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Note - I'm running 8.3 and it has done it on the previous software version.

    First try a restore using iTunes. If you have a software problem then it will be solved. If you have a true hardware problem you can go to a cell phone repair shop or talk to Apple to see what they can do to help.

  • New iPhone owner review - wish list - question

    Louder and better quality speaker phone and ear speaker
    Flash Player
    Wide screen option for all apps
    Games or at least the one I purchased on itunes
    No special adapter for headphones
    I have all things Apple. So my 2 email accounts .mac and contacts is awesome.
    Goggle maps is amazing. I will not go into detail. But how it integrated into what I needed to do was a job well done.
    Internet was as expected for a cell phone. iPod quality as expected.
    If it never got any better. I would still have one. What it does by far out weighs was some feel it lacks. No deal breaker. Which I think comes from building so many iPods.
    Two things hurt the iPhone sales. The first is the mistake marketing made in the original pricing and 2 options. They admitted the 8gb was what people wanted. So the normal Apple choice or option in this case was a mistake. The price should have been 499. Then the 100 dollar price drop would have made a ripple rather than a title wave. Marketing missed the other major factor. Flagship product introduction with preventable Bad PR.
    The other (hurt) thing that will hold back sales for at least 2 years is existing contracts that cost a customer to switch carriers. I think marketing felt the 200 dollar price drop would resolve that issue. But it did not. Apple and AT&T dropped the ball on that also. Apple should have issued a store credit and AT&T a reduced pricing plan for "switchers". Yes. That would affect short term profits. But thats the mistake. Real success is in long term customers. What they missed was volume of sales ( market share ) to offset short term profits. It could have been 3 million iPhones sold and in use now instead of 1.
    This leads up to my question. Why is it when I called iPhone support the staff are not trained well. Has anyone else had the same people?

    I'm with you Kmosh. I hope the update, if/when it finally arrives, includes more than just iTunes/Wi-Fi stuff. There are those of us out there who use these iPhones as communications devices and not just iPods with a phone thrown in. I don't need an easier way to buy music while I'm driving down the road or sitting at work. I hope the update includes things like cut and paste, Safari Flash, more customization, and numerous other functional enhancements I've seen mentioned in this forum. I'll be less likely to be a promoter of the iPhone if all we see is music-related enhancements. I like what it does now, and I'll continue to like it, but a few improvements would be good to see.

  • Where are the next shipments of iPhone 3G's?

    I figured maybe someone here might be able to provide me some insight to the question; Where are all of (new shipments of) the iPhone 3G's?
    I believed Apple would insured shipments were made to all their stores so that Tuesday there would have been more, and Wednesday, and so on until sales started to drop off where daily shipments were no longer necessary. Much to my disbelief, Monday and Tuesday shows no new shipments made to apparently anywhere in VA, MD, NJ, PA, OH, IA, IN, TN, KY, DE, CT, MA, NH, RI, or NY. There is a store here and a store there in some of those 15 states that shows one of them in stock, but essentially, they are gone. If you look at California and New York where the flagship stores are, they have some (probably a large quantity) of each of the 3 choices of the iPhone 3G.
    Monday may have been an 'Out of Stock' day because phones couldn't be shipped out on Sunday but, what I don't understand is how on a Tuesday there are extremely few, if any to be found in the states I mentioned. What was the logic used when Apple decided that only after 9PM can you check the availability of the phone for the next day and not have some sort of 'real-time' tracking. Does this mean that if a store gets a shipment at 2PM this afternoon and you happen to be in the store (again, the store in my area won't answer their phone) you can purchase one, or are those phones only available for the next day? Even AT&T is providing 'real-time' (or at least semi-real-time) availabilty for the customer's that chose to go the Direct Fulfillment route.
    The local Apple store doesn't answer the phone anymore (even AT&T stores are answering, they just start off with '...we don't have iPhone's...'). I understand they are busy but as a minimum level of customer service, someone should always be stationed to answer the phone for customer's. When I went into the store I was greated with a blank stare while I asked about availability then politely advised; '...no, sorry, we don't have any right now and we don't know when we're getting anymore, but check the web site tonight...'.
    The AT&T stores (Apple's premiere partner) can't even get any to sell (other than using Direct Fulfillment), Apple stores now answering their phones, and now the online availability showing no phones in stock 5 days after release within a 15 state area. I think that demands that questions be asked to individuals at Apple's corporate level that determined the marketing and supply strategies for a major product release like this.
    I congratulate Apple on the milestone achievement of selling 1 million iPhone 3G's in a 3 day period, but I find it difficult to believe that a global leader like Apple would have failed to anticipate this kind of demand and the response to consumers to be '...we don't have anymore...' or '...we have a shortage problem...'. The question again; Where are the new iPhone 3G's, and when will they be available for us to purchase again? If the statement that stores are getting shipments daily is true...

    Thanks Nathan, and that's where I have been checking at since Friday evening. IMO though, it's only 50% effective simply because it isn't real time, you can only check it for the 11 - 12 hours a location is closed. If a location receives stock in at 11am today, well you wouldn't know that unless you go into the store every day and ask (and most likely you're not going to get an answer from the store reps other than what I noted above) or after 9PM. A leader in the computer industry such as Apple should be more than capable to provide real-time tracking of produc availability (in fact, they do it all the time for their online store).
    Right now, it's not so much that I can't tell whether a store has stock or not but more of why isn't the phone in stock in most of 15 states on the Tuesday after the launch weekend? Is Apple sold out? Are the stores holding them until this weekend for another 'spectacle' event? Why don't the stores answer their phones to advise customers during the day if the shipment 'they receive most days' is there and you can stop in and pick one up?
    Bottom line, my opinion is that the management of the release, distribution and sales of this particular product (at least where I'm at) is lacking the minimum level of customer service that should be the standard in the industry, let alone for Apple.
