I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes. Either works well. If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching.
Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing

Depending on how long the site has been active, it may be
already
spidered by search engines and cached. However, for the most
part, I
usually use my FTP program OR even Dreamweaver itself (now
that I can)
to delete files on the server just as I do locally. Hit the
delete and
confirm

What's the best way to update my Mac with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

I've been getting prompts whenever I look at certain websites to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. I'm skeptical as to responding to those prompts. What is the best way to update my Mac Pro with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

You might also want to consider uninstalling Adobe Flash... I currently don't have it installed and haven't needed to install it. Most websites are now coded in HTML 5 so that the iOS devices can actually visit them. I can still watch YouTube videos et al. About the only thing I can't do is play Flash games... but they're a resource hog anyways.
Try going without for a day or two and see just how many sites you visit no longer require it. A lot of people keep it installed out of habit, not out of necessity. If you have Flash installed, visit a site and it's out of date, it will tell you to update your Flash. What it won't do is tell you is that had Flash not been installed, it would have used the HTML 5 code instead. Think about it... if an iOS device can't run Flash at all... it can't visit this site if it were written only to use Flash. What site would eliminate such a huge portion of their market base? You'd be surprised at how many sites use HTML 5. Uninstall Flash and see for yourself.

HT5503 Whats the best way to free up space on the iphone 3gs

I can't update my iphone with the 6.0 because I don't have enough memory. Whats the best way to free up space? I have already deleted some pictures and music..

Delete whatever files you don't need anymore and transfer data to an external hard drive. You can download and run OmniDiskSweeper. This application shows you all the files on your harddrive and what files are taking up the most space, just open the application and run it on your hardrive.

What the best ways to save web pages on the cloud ? Using an iPhone ?

Dear folks
I read a lot of web pages on iPhone that I need to refer to / come back to later
I have limited space on my iPhone and do not want to clutter the phone saving all these pages
What are the best options to
a) save these web pages on the cloud ?
B) Or mail them to myself ( again store on some specific gmail or so account ? )
Or
C) It would also be great to convert them to PDF and mail them to myself or save them on box dot net or Dropbox
Or
d) save them initially on the phone but , eventually move them in batches to my hard drive thru backups
What is the best option ? And What are the best ways to do this
Free apps / solutions preferred
If not so paid ones are okay
TIA
Regards

Import photos to your computer, then delete the copies that reside on the phone. Also remove apps you no longer use.

The keyboard on my iphone is messed up and I can't type normally I have to turn my keyboard to the side. I updated my phone to the new update and I have to enter all my passwords all over again, how can I do this on the computer or avoid it all together?

I would like to either enter my passwords on my phone over the computer or avoid doing it at all. Is there anyway I can do that? Like I said my keyboard is messed up and I have to turn my phone to the side to use the keyboard, but entering in the passwords the phone wont turn to the side. Help!!!!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
There is no option to enter the password on the computer.
If the screen will not rotate, ensure that Portrait Lock is not enabled.

My computers hard drive is full but I need to back up my iPhone. What is the best way to do that, saving all the pictures, music, and app information in an easily access able location?

So apple requests that you back up your device before taking it in plus it's time to secure my photos and such so that I can have them in case my phone gives out. However, the hard drive on my computer is full and it does not have room to take all my photos through iPhoto and other things on my phone that I want backed up. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to where I should back it up. I have the standard 5 gb of iCloud but my pictures alone at more than 5 gb. Is it worth buying extra iCloud space or should I get an external drive for my computer? How would that work when transferring from my phone to the external drive and not storing it on my computer...

What computer do you have?
What operating system is it running?

The best method for creating a bootable backup is to use an external HD and either SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner . It's really that simple. The drive does not need to be 2TB, that is the capacity of your internal HD. Get a general idea of how much is on the internal HD and then allow for growth. For example if you have 500GB stored on the HD now that say's you are at 25% of capacity. If you allow for growth and figure a 1-1.5TB drive will give you several years then that is the size drive you should get.
BTW DO NOT, repeat DO NOT use your TIme Capsule or any other drive for creating the bootable clone.

I already have an iPhone with Verizon, my upgrade isn't until next June 2014. Can I buy the iPhone 5s from Apple and still use it with verizon?

I dropped my phone in some water and I don't have apple care. It's been about a week and I'd rather put the money into fixing my iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5s. But I'm not sure if I can just buy the phone from Apple and still use it with verizon. Can someone help?

Yes, Apple will sell you an iPhone you can use with Verizon.

The external hard drive with my iTunes library on it died, but I have it backed up on another drive. What's the best way to make iTunes switch to the new drive for reference?

I've been through similar problems before and used the .xml file to restore the library, but is a better way of just changing the drive pathways in iTunes so it doesn't have to rebuild everything from scratch? I'm using a PC with Windows Vista.

Change the drive letter of the backup drive so it matches the one that died. If necessary move/rename the backup folder so that it matches the old path of the media folder.
