New iPhone User... Does AT&T offer insurance plan??

Just changed my carrier to freaken AT&T and was wondering if they have an insurance plan? Do you know how much it is? At verizon i think it was like 7 bucks a month.

There is no insurance available through AT&T for iPhone (apparently soon there will be). You can purchase the Apple Care Protection Plan (through Apple), which will boost your service coverage from 90-day phone and 1 yr. technical support. To 2 full years on both. This covers hardware and software issues, but like most plans like this it does not cover water damage, or if you happen to drop your phone and crack the screen.
But it is great in case your buttons have issues, or your phone dies on you (had both happen)
I highly recommend getting the Apple Care Protection Plan.
Hope this helps,

New iPhone user needs guidance setting up 4 iPhones for family - best approach?

Hi - I'm a new iPhone user tasked with setting up 4 iPhones for family (three 4S, one 3GS). I set up the first 4S using my mother's existing Apple ID (she has an iPad) and I think (hope) hers is fine. When I set up my father's phone, my sister said to enter my mother's Apple ID during setup since they wanted to use a single Apple ID for iTunes purchases. The setup screen I'm referring to the 7th screen into the setup process for a new iPhone 4S (after the Welcome, Language, Country/Region, Location Services, Wi-Fi Networks, and Set Up iPhone screens), where it asks you to "Sign In with an Apple ID" or "Create a Free Apple ID". This screen was where I entered my mother's Apple ID into my father's phone.
By entering my mother's Apple ID on my father's phone at this point during setup, I seem to have created a "clone" of her phone - their phone numbers are distinct and they can call each other but iMessages sent to either of them initially appeared on BOTH phones. I think I have now fixed that by creating a separate Apple ID for my father after the fact and entering it under Settings>Messages. Thinking I could also enter his new Apple ID under Settings>iCloud, I found I could not change it from my mother's Apple ID (it's greyed out). I saw a recommendation in another post to click on the red "Delete Account" button at the bottom, but will that delete my mother's entire account or only its association with my father's phone?
Backing up a step or two, I'm worried that at this point I should have entered/created a new Apple ID on screen #7 during initial setup of my father's phone (instead of entering my mother's Apple ID), and that just changing settings in iMessage, iCloud, etc. won't really fix any problem(s) I've created. I hesitate to set up the other two phones before knowing how badly I've already messed things up with this one.
During the initial set up of my father's iPhone, should I have created/entered his own unique Apple ID on screen #7 instead of entering my mother's Apple ID? (and then on his phone AFTER setup was complete, changing to my mother's Apple ID under Settings>Store so that all purchases are shared)?
If yes, do I need to restore his phone to factory settings and set it up as a new phone so his phone behaves like his and not a clone of hers?
Without knowing what might be the best way to set up these 4 new iPhones, I was thinking the four unique users of these new phones would most likely want to share apps (by purchasing them with one Apple ID), backup/synch to one computer, but maintain separate iCloud accounts so everyone's info is private? I've spent time reading other posts and see so many different recommendations for families with multiple devices that my head is spinning. Many include questions from folks migrating from older phones or MobileMe. I think my situation is simpler in that there are 4 new iphones and one existing Apple ID. Have I missed some comprehensive post that clarifies the best way to set things up for families new to iPhones, or do needs vary so much that no single best way exists? Given my situation (and depending on which way I should proceed regarding having set up my father's phone with my mother's Apple ID), should I create/enter a separate Apple ID for each new phone user during initial setup so each phone is distinct from the others, and AFTER setup is complete, changing the iTunes and Store info to the shared Apple Id for purchases? Or can I customize each individual phone after the fact in Settings>Whatever so that even if I've entered the same Apple ID on Screen #7 during initial new phone setup, the 4 phones will ultimately be set up correctly?
So sorry to have to ask such basic questions. Many thanks, in advance, for any guidance provided to help me not make any (more?) mistakes during setup that will be a real headache to remedy later, once everyone has started using their phones.

Hi edgefield,sorry you're having so much trouble.
FIRST CREATE A BACKUP ON YOUR COMPUTER -ALWAYS BEFORE PLAYING WITH THE INFORMATION ON THE PHONES (it prevents losses)
Now I'll answer your questions)
During the initial set up of my father's iPhone, should I have created/entered his own unique Apple ID on screen #7 instead of entering my mother's Apple ID? (and then on his phone AFTER setup was complete, changing to my mother's Apple ID under Settings>Store so that all purchases are shared)?
Yes. Create his own apple id and sign him in. then tap settings ->store -> tap on the account name -> sign out.
Then sign in your fathers apple id. (create your fathers apple id on the computer, its much easier, trust me).
If yes, do I need to restore his phone to factory settings and set it up as a new phone so his phone behaves like his and not a clone of hers?##
No. Tap settings -> icloud, and turn everything off (keep on the phone option). Then DELETE ACCOUNT (it's got red around it and at the bottom of the screen if you scroll down). You cannot sign out of iCloud, you can only delete the account. Then clean up the contacts and information on the phone.
Then you tap settings -> iCloud and sign in. Put your fathers apple id in the section. His information will be uploaded to www.icloud.com. Then go to www.icloud.com and sign in with his apple id. Make sure his information is uploaded (you'll have to select timezone and such).
From that point you are fine except for iMessage.
For iMessage to function properly, only one apple id can be signed into the iTunes store (settings -> store). If they are both signed into the same apple id on the iTunes store, than you need to turn off iMessage on one of the phones. The iMessage may be delievered to either phone when both are signed in under the same apple id in the iTunes store.
tap settings -> messages -> imessage off
This also disables facetime. If you want them to have iMessage and Facetime, they have to have seperate apple id's signed into the iTunes store.
Have I missed some comprehensive post that clarifies the best way to set things up for families new to iPhones, or do needs vary so much that no single best way exists?
Not that I've seen, will consider creating one if I have time.
Given my situation (and depending on which way I should proceed regarding having set up my father's phone with my mother's Apple ID), should I create/enter a separate Apple ID for each new phone user during initial setup so each phone is distinct from the others, and AFTER setup is complete, changing the iTunes and Store info to the shared Apple Id for purchases?
Your best bet is to create each apple id on the computer (keyboards are easier to use) and then sign them each in during the creation process. Then change the iTunes store info to the stored apple id.
This will allow each person to serpate iClouds without interfering with each others Cloud as you set up new devices.
Or can I customize each individual phone after the fact in Settings>Whatever so that even if I've entered the same Apple ID on Screen #7 during initial new phone setup, the 4 phones will ultimately be set up correctly?
Doing it this way can cause problems (or used to, not sure if it still does), initially, when you set it up, it wants to create a backup or upload the blank info to iCloud. You are better off setting up their own apple id first and signing in with that, and then changing it in the iTunes store.
I'm off to bed, I'll check this thread tomorrow and see if you have any more questions/problems. Remember, always create a back-up before you do anything.

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need more than that. Help!

I am a new iPhone user. I'm a frequent technology user but not a sophisticated one. I am looking for an app where I can make lists -- books, movie titles, etc. And I want to be able to make individual folders. But I do not need much more capacity than that. Ideas?

One of these may fit your needs: http://iphone.appstorm.net/roundups/productivity-roundups/25-fantastic-to-do-lis t-apps-for-iphone/
What do you mean make folders? Like folders inside an application or accessing system folders? You can't do the latter.

Upper speaker in my new iPhone 4 does not work properly. I hear strange sounds instead of speech. What to o?

Upper speaker in my new iPhone 4 does not work. When somebody calls me I hear only strange sounds. Please, help!

A couple of other things you can try -
With my 2010 Ford Fusion (and SYNC) I received the same not optimized message a few times. There were several things I had to do but eventually, I got it cleared up. Not sure exactly how this will translate to your Toyota but maybe it will.
- Try resetting the iPhone via a power off/on or a hard reset where you hold the home and power buttons. Then power back on and plug into your USB port.
- In my case I had an issue with SYNC in my car where I needed to reset the USB port in my car. Not sure if Toyota has something similar. The fact that you said it won't charge makes me wonder if the USB port got disabled in your car. This happened in my car and an easy reset for me was to remove a fuse for a few minutes and replace.
- Update your iPhone in iTunes and resync it there. Then try connecting again in yor car.
- Delete and re pair your iPhone from your Toyota system
Hope something here helps. Thanks

I have new PC and my new Iphone 4s does not sync through I cloud how do I fix

I have a new pc and now my new Iphone 4s does not sync though Icloud how do I make new computer be the one iphone syncs with.

Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in with your current Apple ID
Change the Apple ID to the old one and save changes.
Sign in on the device with the same password for your account.
After logging in and signing out of Facetime, Messages, iCloud and itunes and app store, go back to Apple ID.com and change it back to your normal Apple ID.
Go to your email account and reverify your account by clicking on the Verify now link
Now re-login to those services with your normal Apple ID and password.

My new iphone 5c does not have an "alarm" on the clock function. My iphone 4 does and it works perfectly. What's that all about?

I recently purchased a new iphone 5c unlocked in the States and have moved to Doha, Qatar. When I went to set the alarm in the clock function a message came up saying I didn't have an alarm on the clock. This is strange as my iphone 4 does and it works fine. How can I add this feature to my clock?

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.

New iPhone user - why are there 3,953 message listed at bottom of email when they do not exist in my account?

New iPhone 4 user. Have 2 email accounts. There are 3,954 messages total, 35 unread shown at the bottom of the AOL screen.
There may be a 100 total at most that show up on my computer internet including saved. How can I eliminate 3,800 or so because they definitely
need to be deleted without having to delete them one by one?
Thanks

Delete the account and re-enter it.

NEW IPHONE 3GS DOES NOT START

I just got my new iphone 3gs yesterday and have not even had the time to have a nice look at it coz it just does not start.
When I put the phone to charge the apple logo appears and after that just the sign of USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) appears and phone stops. I had it charged for more than four hours but I don’t see the battery charging status icon anywhere.
When I press the ON switch on the top the same thing repeats itself meaning it gets stuck in the USB connector pointing towards itunes (with the itunes logo) sign. Totally confused and frustrated. Kindly assist. Lastly as i am new to the apple brand could anyone guide me towards the Software for the IPHONE 3GS i require to install on my desktop in order to sync,email etc.thanks for the advises in advance

Obviously it's telling you that you need to connect your iphone to your itunes to activate it, otherwise it won't work.
Firstly download itunes, under Downloads. then install then plug in your iphone, and follow the instructions to activate it. Then you should be set and start using the phone.

Camera on new iPhone 3GS does not work

My husband got a brand new iPhone 3GS yesterday from the iShop here in Gateway Durban, and the camera does not work at all. You can see through the lense, but non of the touchscreen controls work (ie access to camera roll, take picture, swap to video.) Am I missing something obvious? This is perculiar, in that it is his second iPhone and I have the iPhone 4 so you would think between us we would be able to figure it out, but it does seen truly STUCK. Any ideas?

Have you tried to restore the phone?

Brand new iPhone 4 - does not respond

I just received my new iPhone 4, but it does not respond when I connect to my computer. The screen stays blank and it does not show up in iTunes. Only when I connect it to the wall charger does it respond, but I have tried leaving it to charge for some time, but it still wont show up in iTunes nor does it respond when connected to my Macbook Pro. Have tried with different cables and to do a reset, but no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions I could try before I take it back tomorrow?
Thanks
Thomas

If you are plugging it into a MBP, it should work no matter what. I'm sure you tried this, but have you plugged it into the other available USB spot? Sometimes my phone doesn't like one USB port on my MacBook and I have to plug it in to the other.
