2.1 3G update just a "show more bars" change?

I'm STILL getting failed calls. I make or take a call and can get 4 words in before the call fails. Yeah, my bars now show 4 full bars, all the time...
I'm starting to think maybe just the graphical part of the bars and 3G was changed, not the actual problem.
Once again, I'm back on Edge just to be able to use the phone.
anyone else STILL getting dropped calls?

pretty much what I do. At home, work or friends' house I'm on WiFi... Edge for phone.
Is there any truth to the first iPhone 3Gs that people stood in line for have the issue and the newer build dates are better? I heard some people were getting there older build dated iPhones exchanged for newer ones and weren't having the problems...

If Apple incorrectly showed more bars than it should have... wouldn't most

phone makers do the same, to make their phone look better?
I lost two bar after upgrading, but I do seem to have similar service. No dropped calls.

I wouldnt say that they are throwing at&t under the bus.. It will just keep at&t honest about where the weak spots are. I would say that they are showing a "truer" signal than was previously shown. Granted my personal opinion like in my previous post.. my best dBm level i've ever seen on my BlackBerry was -70dBm which was full 5 bars. but according to apples new software that 70dBm is within the "5 bar" limit. altho its much closer to the 4 bar section. So realistically should the blackberry have shown 4 instead of 5? Im curious to see if any former blackberry users like myself are able to mention if they have ever had lower than a -70dBm reading on their berry and how their new signal on the iPhone 4 matches up. I usually display the same level signal (with 4.0.1) as i did with my bold 9000. There are some locations that i will show 3 bars where it used to be 5 - but its a very reliable 3 (even had data rates in the 4000kbps down/2400kbps up) in the 3 bar range. So i'm very pleased.

Install now! AirPort driver update just released, no more WiFi drops

Go and update your AirPort drivers now...it will solve the AirPort connection drops.

I should clarify....the update hasn't fixed my Macbook's issues with wireless when operating on battery power alone....(when plugged into mains power it's fine)

Wifi works on iPhone but not MacBook with more bars!

so, sitting in the same spot my MacBook Pro has 4/4 bars but the wifi only works for five seconds at a time (not literally but it feels like it), then I have to disconnect and reconnect. My iPhone has 2/3-3/3 bars and the wifi works great! why is this? Shouldn't the MacBook have better reception as its bigger/has more power? Why does it show more bars than the iPhone but hAbe a worse connection?

Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.
Test. After testing, restart as usual and post the results.

HT2404 I just clicked on Software Updates; BUT nothing shows what's happening? How come I can't see the updates & time it will take?

Help! I just got this Lion, and SO many changes & not necessarily for the better !
I went to the Apple icon, but "Software Updates" did not show ... though I had deferred installing some updates ...
Finally it showed up, I clicked on it, saw the updates to do - BUT when I clicked on install - the "box" that usually shows the updates & how long to install - just disappeared! I can't get to it to see what's next. (I have to leave soon & will turn off the mac)
What's happening? How come I can't see the updates as they are installed, & how much time it will take?
How do I know IF they have been installed? Is this the "new Normal" for Lion? Or is there a glitch in my mac somewhere?
How about updates you download from Apple (not bought) - they go to Downloads on the Sideboard, but are they installed automatically, & put where they belong too? Is there no more restart, etc.?
- I just went to Systems Preference, to see the "Installed Software" - shows they were ... but don't I have to restart anymore? Are all updates now automatically placed where they belong?
Thanks to any who can help
PS One other question - just checked my "profile" & it has my email addy that's 4 years old... how do I change That?

New Build ... Windows Update Never Shows Updates. Checking for Updates just goes round and round

I've got a brand new installation of Server 2008 Standard, full with GUI and I've setup the server with a public IP so I can get to the internet. Even tested getting to Dell Support website.
But when checking for updates the "Checking for updates" just goes round and round. It never stops and shows me what updates are available.
I'm trying to create an image of this build for testing purposes.
I ran into the same issue when I was doing a VM test and only had a private IP. I thought I wasn't able to get to Windows Update using our internal proxy with the private IP. But now there seems to be more of an issue.
I've already setup the Windows Update service the same way we have for 2003 and 2008 ... Automatic and started.
Any suggestions?

Please run the system update readiness tool.

HT1414 IPHONE 3GS Problems. Updated to IOS6 then says There are just a few more steps to take. Press Continue. Once pressed it says connect to itunes. So plugged the cable in and it does nothing and stays on that screen. How can he fix it?

Hi, My friend has just updated there 3GS to IOS6 and once it's done, 2 screens appear. first one says, Update complete, there are just a few more steps to take. Press continue and another screen comes up with the itunes symbol and the cable and says connect to itunes. Once plugged in, on itunes it reconises the phone and has the loading symbol up, but it doesn't loads anything and can't press anything. Anyone know why and how to resolve this?

You're on your own. Good luck.

HT4528 I updated my iPhone and now it want come on just keeps showing picture to connect to itunes

I updated my iPhone and now it want come on just keeps showing connect to iTunes logo

Hey there Smurf_28,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would next try connecing the iPhone to the wall charger that came with it, and resetting the device:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
When the reset is done, it will still be in recovery mode, so connect it to iTunes and continue with the restore.
iOS: Unable to update or restore

All the best,
Sterling

HT201317 My photostream photos show more then 30 days of photos and have only just set my computer up with the icloud, is there any way I can get photos on my computer from more then 30 days ago?

My photostream on my iphone shows more then 30 days of photos, however I have recently lost my phone and hadn't set up the icloud on my computer until now. Is there anyway to get all the photos in my photostream on my iphone or just the last 30 days?

If you backed up the iPod before restoring it then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
Also, if yoo have that backup you can extract the photos by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

Did you try to reset your iPod? The description of what yu did was not clear. To reset:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Next would be to restore the iPod from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

How do i get my i phone to show more than just the apple symbol?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

Not a problem but a query. Firefox has just updated and is showing euballot-1.1 but no mention of GB. what is euballot? why is it showing?

This is a query.
Firefox automatically updated.
When I look under update history it shows no update.
Under Help clicked on about to see what version. Still showing 3.6.13 but no mention of en-GB. Instead has Mozilla Firefox EU euballot-1.1
What is euballot?
Why no en-GB?

The update you got is the correct update, you will have the same version if you downloaded the full setup file.
The EU ballot relates to an agreement that Microsoft reached with the European Union so that Microsoft would comply with EU anti-trust laws. Microsoft historically had a dominance in the browser market as Windows has IE pre-installed. The agreement led to Microsoft creating a a "browser ballot" system which would see its users presented with a page advertising other browsers.
I believe Mozilla use the EU ballot downloads as a method of tracking how many additional installs occurred as a result of the agreement.

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!
