Sept 30 iPhone Upgrade??

Does anyone know what or how -exactly, Apple is supposed to offer in the way of an iPhone upgrade on September 30?
I have read that they are supposed to make some sort of change to the iPhone but do not know what this may be. I ask because I have been waiting to purchase an iPhone but will only do so after I know about this upgrade.
Off topic, but I read that approx. 25% of iPhone user's would swap to Verizon from AT&T if they could. I live in the Chicago area and Verizon is useless. My wife was forced to switch to Verizon from Sprint and she (and others at her company) are having fits with Verizon. Recently she was calling a local area code only to be told that she had the incorrect area code for Afghanistan. She found that nearly all of her co-worker's were have similar issues. Reception is terrible as well. Having said that, I look forward to switching to AT&T with hopes of having a better wireless experience.
Thanks.

The actual impact of the "attenuation" you would experience with the iPhone 4's antenna in real world use never appeared to be very significant (and based on how the issue has largely died off, was most likely not a big factor for the average user).
It would be very unusual and uncharacteristic for Apple to make any sort of design revision at this point in a product's lifecycle. On top of that the iPhone 4 continues to be released in new countries overseas every few weeks as-is.
I think it would be pretty safe to assume there are no pending changes to the phone itself. As far as what will actually happen on the 30th, who knows. We already know the case program won't be extended, as I see it this leaves two possibilities. Either Apple is confident enough now that this is a non-issue for users that they will simply discontinue the case program and life will go back to normal. Or they will make the bumper a pack-in on every iPhone 4. Personally I consider the first scenario the most likely one.

I interrupted my iphone upgrade to ioS 6 and now my phone just keeps showing the apple. it wont restart or show up when I plug it into itunes!!!!

Help! i accidently interrupted my iphone upgrade to ioS 6 and now my phone wont turn on completely. it just keeps showing the apple. it also wont register with itunes...i have tried turning it off and restarting it multiple times but nothing is working. HELP!

hey man, i feel your pain... here's my story and i'm pretty sure this will work for you... on the 19th of september i went to upgrade ios 6 and paused it about 1/10 through... when i plugged my phone up at night the screen was at the normal lock screen.. when i woke up at 10:30 am i went to check my phone and the screen appeared as an apple logo with a progression bar about 6/10 full.. it didn't seem to be progressing any more, but i guess that was only because it was so slow trying to download over wifi because it had all night to finish downloading.. anyways i needed to check my texts and the time so i held down the lock button and the phone turned off during the download.. when i tried to turn it on the apple logo would appear like normal trying to boot up.. then it would fade away and cut off.. then seconds later try to turn on again, by itself, repeatedly for hours on september 20. i tried restarting it (holding lock and home button down 10-15 seconds) but the problem with that is that the phone was already trying to turn on itself so it never would restart correctly... (continued turning on and off by itself).. i went to verizon and they said my phone is screwed.. go to apple if you wanna pay.. i called apple support and a lady helped me out here's the solution that worked after hours of thinking my phone is totally screwed.. when the phone is dark and cut off.. press and hold the home button before you plugin your sync cable to your usb port.. (have itunes up and ready) continue holding the home button and plugin the sync cable.. still holding the button, wait for a message from itunes appear that says it recognizes your device in recovery mode.. press ok.. the screen on your iphone should be a snyc cable and and arrow pointing to an itunes symbol... from there it is pretty self explanatory.. you will need to restore and update your phone from there which should be an option after you press ok... it takes awhile.. your phone will then go through one, or maybe a few progression bars (it may vary, not sure).. while your itunes will be restoring software & firmware.. when everything is done on itunes and your phone.. your phone should boot right up!!! reply if you have any more questions.. i'm so glad i resolved my issue today.. good luck!

How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

Dear wise & wondeful people:
How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

No.

Need information on how to upgrade from 10.5.8 to make computer compatable to iphone upgrade of 11.5.1

hi everyone: I require some information on how to upgrade from 10.5.8 to make my mackbook pro compatable
with the iphone upgrade. Please note that I have gone thru the upgrades on this computer and it tells me there are
no new ones available...... I need to get my upgrade past the 11.5.1 level.....so do I need to purchase a new
upgrade program....and if so which one...as I have been thru the apple store and so far as i can tell
the ones that are listed such as maverik, lion and snow lepard are not high enough.
To anyone who replies, thankyou so much for taking the time to help me. It is truely appreciated.

11.1.5 is likely to be the version of iTunes you are being asked to run, not the version of Mac OS X.
To get a higher version of iTunes, you likely have to upgrade Mac OS X. All Roads lead through the 10.6 Upgrade, available as a physical DVD only, from the Apple Online store for about US$20:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
This is one of the most benign Upgrades Apple has ever issued. The size of the Operating System gets smaller, performance is slightly faster, and very few Applications are left behind. If you have some older PowerPC Applications, you may need to ask to install the Optional Rosetta emulator for PowerPC code when you install.
Once your 10.6 install is fully Updated to 10.6.8 using Software Update, the Mac App Store will appear, and future upgrades (if needed) will be handled through variations of online purchases.

Iphone upgrade file is too large for my network space

Hi
Does anyone know how to set the disk location that itunes uses for non-music files. My network space is too small for the next iphones upgrade and I can't download it.
cheers

Your network space is smaller than 240MB? If it is, that's the smallest allocated space I've ever heard of! Besides, when the update becomes available, you'll be downloading it from Apple's servers directly. If your asking for a place that you can store and then update from, you just have to hold the SHIFT key on a PC or the OPTION/ALT key on a Mac while pressing UPDATE or RESTORE and it will allow you to find the firmware file on your primary C drive or wherever you've placed it.

Change location of the iphone upgrade files

My PC's C: drive has limited disk space, as I use it only for operating system. But when I tried to upgrade the firmawre of my iphone 3G to version 2.0.2, the iTune download more than 240 MB data into my C: drive, and left only about 150 MB free space in my C drive which is not enough for software extraction and installation. Does anyone know how I can download iPhone upgrade file to a specified location in Window XP file system, and run from there?
Thank you very much in advance

I use an external drive for my itunes library. I am pretty sure it downloads there. You might meed to switch everything over to an external, including the itunes database. You can do this in advanced preferences.

I really dislike the new iPhone upgrade!!! Is there anything I can do?

I really dislike the new iPhone upgrade!!! Many of my friends also dislike it. Is there anything we can do?

Nope, you can't downgrade, you'll have to get use to it.

In the iCloud?? iPhone upgraded to iOS 5, can't find apps, songs,

Okay, just went through the whole cycle of connecting my iPhone to my MBP, running iTunes, backed up iPhone, upgraded OS, etc. and then the iPhone has the new OS, but there's nothing on it, none of the previous apps, music, etc.
Luckily in iTunes on the Mac, I can see the apps are there.
I thought it backed up the music from the iPhone (there was nothing on the Mac), but it only transferred over the Purchased music from the phone. Before all this, the phone had a lot more music. Now that's gone too.
In iCloud on the web, I can see all my contacts and they are on my phone too.
In still another out-of-sync twist, the iPhone has all the photos and videos that were originally on it in the camera roll.
I feel like it's just one thing missing in setting up or something, but I'm not figuring it out...yet.
Advice O Great Apple Discussion Board??

So what have you done to troubleshoot thus far?
Have you deleted the accounts and reinput them?

Good question.
I believe that your SIM card should be interchangeable between your old 4GB iPhone and your new 8GB iPhone. Of course, if you take your SIM out of the old 4G what will the buyer of your 4G use for a SIM card to get started - are you planning to give him the non-registered SIM from the 8G that you get?
If not, how do you expect him to get a SIM card unless you expect him to have to buy one from AT&T?
I think that if the old SIM works, there should be no need to restart your two (2) year contract but first the old SIM needs to work.
Let us know what happens.

Discounted iphone upgrade at a higher price...

does anyone know what the pricing is for people that do not qualify for a full discount, but are offered a discounted iphone upgrade at a higher price?

It also depends on other factors such as how much you spend on your current plan and your payment history. Only AT&T can tell you what you qualify for.

IPhone Upgrade to 2.0 never worked on my Dell Laptop

I wanted to let other users know that the iPhone Upgrade to 2.0 never worked on my Dell laptop. After trying it many times and restoring, I finally used a MacBook to install the upgrade. After doing this, I restored my iPhone settings and data with my Dell laptop.
BTW, I backed up on both laptop before the upgrade.

I had a similar issue when I upgraded last night to 2.0.1...everything went fine no issues last night that I could see...though I didn't make a single call until this morning after doing the upgrade...went to call in to work this morning and couldn't hear them they couldn't hear me and there was no sound whatsoever...turns out that somehow the 2.0.1 update caused my iPhone to go into a staus where it though it had my headphones in all the time...this resolved by following the information on this support document ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1630?viewlocale=en_US ) finally was a reset of the iPhone (step #7) that seemed to resolve it for me...you might want to try this too.

Iphone upgrade purchase discount

I've yet to use my iphone upgrade to purchase a new device...can anyone please tell me how much is the upgrade discount?\

That is a question you would need to ask your phone carrier and see what discount they will give you.

Sync from iPhone to iCal on MacBook has failed since the latest iPhone upgrade, yesterday. It's worked in reverse, and all other sync operations appear to have worked. Any solutions, that I may not have already tried (over and over)

(Sorry, first time user of these forums, and it's confusing in it's own right)

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Can't Download Photos to Adobe Photoshop Elements after iPhone Upgrade

Howdy, I have been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 with my iPhone ever since I bought my iPhone 3G when they came out and have never had any trouble. Whenever I synced my phone and there were new photos on it, Photoshop Elements would start it's photo downloader program and let me download the pics from my phone and put them in the organizer. Then it would let me delete them.
But this weekend I took a bunch of photos and now Photoshop Elements startes up during the sync as usual, but before it lets me download any pictures I get a message from Photoshop Elements saying "Downloader needs to close" (or something like that) and I never get the chance to download the pictures. The only way I have to get the pictures off my phone right now is to mail them as attachments.
A few days ago I upgraded to the 2.2 iPhone software and I was wondering if this might be the source of the problem. Has anyone else heard of any problems like this?

I'm having the same problem with Elements 6.0. The downloader starts up and I can see the first few pictures in the downloader before the error message comes up and the downloader must shut down. The only way to get pictures off the phone is through Win Explorer. But, when you try to remove the pics off the phone (i.e. move or delete) the phone reboots. The only way to remove the pics is one at a time on the phone itself.
It is extremely frustrating that Apple has created a decent way to sync music and video, but no iTunes way to handle pictures. Honestly I amazed that Apple has worked so hard to be the standard for music, etc. that they just leave it to the consumer to figure out the picture stuff. Come on Apple.
