Advice from those who have had both the 2G and 3G iPhones

I am seriously considering trading my 3G iPhone for a 2G version. Those of you who have had both- do you think i will regret the trade? Mostly I use the iPhone for calling and also for emails. The internet i use only if i don't have my laptop available and sometimes i use the GPS.
Right now I pay per text msg as I did not want to pay extra for text messaging. If texting were included in the plan I would send more text msgs. I typically have the 3G turned off because I don't want the battery to be drained so quickly . . .
Oh well, right now with all that said, it sounds like I probably won't miss the 3G and maybe need to save money for now by paying for the old data plan cost with the 2G phone . . . but there is always the wondering if i will regret the trade that may take place tomorrow afternoon.
Any thoughts would be appreciated as I ponder this decision. . .

I like my iPhone 3G more than my original iPhone. 3G is nice to have, GPS has helped me many times already when on the original it was much harder because it didn't know my exact location. I prefer the plastic backing, I get greatly improved EDGE reception where as it was very poor on the original. Speaker and speaker phone volumes are much higher. My battery life is the same from what I can tell, I don't normally keep 3G on since I really use it as a data connection only while mobile.

Looking for feedback from those who have installed Windows

I have an Intel iMac - brilliant machine, I love it. I have not installed Windows : I just don't have the need to justify doing it, but I'm glad to know I can if I do need, or just want to.
Having a Mac is almost like being immune to viruses (almost - I'm not careless). Everytime I use a PC there are message about viruses - it must drive them crazy! And to install Windows on my iMac would render it vulnerable.
I'm just looking for feedback from those who have taken the plunge: how's it working for you? I'm not so concerned about the speed...more so about .exe files running amok.
There is no way I will install Windows without a valid need and hearing at least a couple of first hand user experiences

I HAVE SPENT 1 HOUR TODAY AT THE APPLE SHOP ASKING THE GENIUS GUY - WHY ARE APPLE COMPUTERS IMMUNE TO VIRUS AND HOW DO I PROTECT MY PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM BEING INTERROGATED AND TRANSMITTED TO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.
MY QUERY STEMS FROM EMAILS - IF THEY HAVE A PICTURE ATTACHED THE MACHINE WILL NOT OPEN THE PICTURES - THE MESSAGE SAYS TO PROTECT MY IDENTITY CLICK HERE IF YOU WISH TO DOWNLOAD. I HAVE TO MAKE A JUDGEMENT TO TRUST THE SITE WHICH SEEMS ODD AND SO WHEN I ALLOW THE DOWN - I DO WONDER WHAT IS GOING ON.
I DO RUN A SEPARATE PC AND WHEN I DOWN LOAD THE MAILS ONTO THAT COMPUTER MY NORTON ENGAGES AND WARNS OF INFORMATION OF PRIVATE NATURE BEING ATTEMPTED TO BE TRANSMITTED - AT THAT STAGE I CAN STOP THE TRANSMISSION - ON THE MAC I HAVE NO MEANS - THE GENIUS GUY SAYS DON'T WORRY.
HELP - CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS IT ABOUT MAC THAT WOULD SETTLE MY CONCERNS AND ALLOW ME TO DOWN LOAD IMAGES CONTAINED IN EMAIL WITHOUT WORRY OF THE COMPUTER BEING FRISKED FOR DATA AND IT BEING TRANSMITTED INTO THE OUTSIDE WORLD.

I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 to activate. I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial number

I had to replace my hard drive and can't get my Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 to activate. I have tried both the phone and the website and have both the serial numbers. I can't find a number that works to speak to a live person at Adobe. I need to reduce the pixel size TODAY on some photos and need the program. Is there another way to reduce pixels if I can't get my Photoshop running today?

Where do I get the specially assigned serial number????? I don't want to have to purchase anything since I already bought the CS2 and I don't need a newer version.
Follow the prompts at the link provided by Ned.
Everything's there including your new CS2 non-activation download file and your new non-activation serial number.
It's free for existing owners of CS and CS2. Nothing more to purchase.

I have about 1000 contacts on my iPhone 4 after syncing with iCloud there are only about 120 contacts on iCloud How can I have the same info on both the iCloud and my iPhone

Hi
I have about 1000 contacts on my iPhone 4 after syncing with iCloud there are only about 120 contacts on iCloud How can I have the same info on both the iCloud and my iPhone

On the iPhone tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Contacts off then back on then reset the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

To those who have had synchronization problems: Did your files end in .dv?

In order to determine whether the synchronization problems were restricted to people using DV files, it would be helpful if anyone who had a problem could say whether their files ended in .dv. So: if you had a problem, could you please say what sort of files (medium) you were using? DV? HD? Whatever else there is? Thank you.

my clips were all pulled directly from my Canon FS20 camcorder. the file extensions of the raw footage is all ".mov" ... hope that helps. J
Thanks. It does help--or at least it should help the people who know enough about the subject to digest its significance. I'm trying to help them. They said this would be useful to know. (I think you actually posted this information before, but it slipped by; so I am glad you provide it again.)

What are other ways i can locate my Serial number to my iphone? my iphone doesnt have it on the back and my iphone will not turn on

A few days ago my iphone stopped charging and now it wont turn on at all. Ive taken it into Verizon and they told me that the charging port is corroded. Ive looked at the back of my iphone and discovered my iphone serial number is not located on the back and i am unable to turn my iphone on. is there any other ways i can retrieve my serial number for my phone?

If you have access to your computer, but not your device
Open iTunes.
Open Preferences. (In Mac OS X, choose iTunes > Preferences. In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences.)
Click the Devices tab.
Position the mouse over a backup to display the serial number of the backed-up device. iPhone and cellular iPad models also display the IMEI/MEID and Cellular Data Number:

From yesterday, I have been facing the problems in my iphone and my wife iphone. The same problem, "cannot connect to itunes store". I have strong internet connection. I tried all the possible way I could like setting, general, date and time.....etc.

I have proble of "cannot connect to itunes store. After I have updated the new software ios6, the problem arised in one of my mobile. In the second mobile, I didnot updated the software.Today in the morning, the problem ariesed in that mobile as well. I cannot open the itunes, don't have access to apple store . I tried to solve the problem like going to setting, general, Date and time, automatically off, keeping one year ahead date. I tried all the possible options I could get from the googel. How do I get rid of this problem?

No - I have not tried other routers on my network.
What I meant was I could use my itouch on other users wireless networks without any issues.
I'll update the routers DNS to try using Google's 8.8.8.8 instead of my ISP.
Is the issue DNS performance using local ISP -or are there other possibel isues when using local isp DNS?

HT201263 I have tried all the steps and my iphone still does not get recognized by itunes. now what?

I have stopped and restarted the Apple Mobile Device Manager
I have confirmed USB device is recognized

This Apple article might help you out -> iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
You say you installed the Apple Mobile Device Service, is it running though? The Apple article will help you check.
Also, use the article to try and remove the security software from the equation.

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get an error message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. Has anyone else run into this problem recently?

When I plug my iPhone 4s into my PC, I get a message that says iTunes needs a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. It wants me to uninstall both the AMDS and iTunes and then reinstall iTunes. iTunes won't recognize my phone and so I can't synch it. Has anyone else run into this problem recently and how did you resolve it? Thanks!

Thank you both. I suppose I should have prefaced my question with the concern that I've read a number of other posts from people who have had a similar issue and when they tried to follow the directions, they ran into a multitude of other problems. As you might imagine, I'm hoping to avoid the creation of new problems as I try to solve this one. Thanks again.

A Few Quick Tips For Those Who Are New To Fios Quantum and the New Quantum Update

Most of those who have quantum received the new update early this morning (8/12/14)
There are a lot of people that are new to fios who never had anything prior to quantum so I thought I'd make this post to help.
Those who had the older boxes prior to quantum should already know about all of this.
The new update now reflects what the older stb/dr's have and have had for awhile now. There are now more menu settings you will want to go through.
The ad banner guide at the bottom can be disabled. Go to menu > Notifications > Guide Banner > set to disable
The banner will still be there, but will show Verizon rather then ads.
The home screen can be turned off. There is an option to turn it off within the home screen or you can go to menu > Notifications > Promotions > set to disable
The led on the boxes have been changed. If you want to change it go to menu > System > Media Server Settings > LED Brightness.
The Auto Power Off option is set to 4 hours by default. If you don't want the box to turn off automatically you will want to disable this. Menu > System > Media Server Settings > Auto Power Off > set to none
There is now the option to change the guides banners times outs. Menu > Settings > System > Television > Info Bar Time Out (also Channel Bar Timeout)
Some on other forums mentioned the video formats have been changed so its a good idea to check the option out to see if it reflects what you want. Menu > Settings > Audio & Video > Video Settings > Video Format
The aspect # button now works so any SD channels that are boxed can now be stretched using the # button.
I'm happy to see this option back.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the info regarding the latest update. I like some of the new/improved options, however I am highly disappointed that the update discontinued the reminder option. I would think that setting a program reminder is a highly used feature and many will be unhappy now that it is gone. I know I surely am!

Experiences from customer who have converted from MDMP to Unicode

I would be interested in seeing a weblog or article from a customer who has gone through the conversion from MDMP to Unicode on an R/3 system. I would be interested in how the process went, what kind of problems were encountered, how long it took, how many of your custom ABAP programs needed changes, etc.

Thomas,
I am also interested in contacting any companies that have migrated to Unicode (with or without MDMP). ChevronTexaco is planning a very large global project that will likely involve migrating to Unicode in the next few years. Anyone who is willing to chat,please feel free to contact me at [email protected], 925-842-0864.
I suspect there are a lot of us who are going to be heading down this road in the next few years and we all want to learn from those who have blazed the trail before us.

I just upgraded from i-tunes 10 to i-tunes version 11.1.3 in order to sync my i-phone. All my libraries now come up now as one combined library, which makes it frustrating and difficult to find my songs. Can I have both the 10 and the new 11.1.3 on ?

I had to upgrade to i-tunes 11.1.3 from my old i-tunes 10 so that my i-phone could get synced to i-tunes. I used to have several i-tunes libraries on my computer for various subjects. Like for movies, bird recordings, and songs I wrote myself. Now when I open i-tunes all the libraries open up at once in one library, it is completely reorganized, making it almost impossible to find my old songs, playlists, movies, etc. I just got done organizing my libraries, and now its all confused and Im terribly frustrated. How can I get my old organization back, and is it possible to have several libraries again, or both the old and new i-tunes on the same hard drive? Anyone have any advice how to organize my new i-tunes ?

What a waste of space to paste the code.
Why not ask in the iLife > iPhoto forum where your question belongs.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.
