3g iphone - reception, software upgrade and other things.
I've read a lot of disgruntled people's posts on here on how bad Apple is, how crap the iphone works etc. I thought I might just add my 2 cents worth.
I bought my phone the day it came out (no waiting in lines for me, it's who you know). Anyway, my iphone has worked FLAWLESSLY. Not a single problem. I have just upgraded to 2.1 without a hitch. My reception is always good, and that is on a crappy Australian Optus network (I can differentiate between the phone and network problems unlike most). I have had one or two dropped calls, but that was inside a building were the 3g dropped out to 2g while I was talking on the phone.
I have since recommended the phone to 5 other people who, like myself are absolutely satisfied with our product (no, I don't work for Apple nor am I an Apple Fanboy).
I have used countless smartphones over the years.....I can remember when scratching my head why a Windows mobile phone would not sync properly with a Windows PC (hands up all those who have been there eh?). People need to look at it for what it is, a cutting piece of hardware that has the ability to develop and grow....unlike ANY other phone out there. When was the last time you upgraded your Nokia or HTC phone (without having a mental breakdown).
I for one am very happy with my purchase and unlike others, don't expect my phone to do my taxes or wash the car for me. Time to bring some reality back to some of these posts.
This has never happened to me with every firmware update released since 3rd party apps became available.
All 3rd party apps on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Is Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and was this selected before installing the firmware update?

I would like to do the iphone 4 software upgrade, but keep going in circles , has anyone done this? thanks
"Going in circles" - are you talking about yourself or something about the phone? What happens in vagueness stays in vagueness.
FYI, > 30 million have successfully updated their iP4. -
Disconnected my iphone after software upgrade but while photos and my movies were still downloading. Now I get an error message that iTunes can't connect to the phone. How do I solve this? I am using a PC and have version 4.3.4 on my iphone 4.
In order to use ''nxm://'' links, Nexus Mod Manager must be installed and associated with the ''nxm'' protocol.

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
My question is:
If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

When is Apple going to start working with ADOBE and let us enjoy some videos and other things on our beloved iPads and iPhones?
How totally clueless can one be?
Apparently not more than you.
Adobe has given up on mobile flash for any device. They announced this a while ago.
They admitted mobile flash is a disaster and are jumping on the HTML 5 bandwagon.
Adobe has moved on, why can't you?

How to upload pictures, contacts, and other things from my old iPhone
How to upload all my pictures, contacts, and other things from my old iPhone
If you want everything copied over then you can copy your iTunes downloads over to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases and you can then backup up your old phone via File > Devices > Back Up - you can then restore that backup onto your new phone (or iPad as this is the Using iPad forum).
Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
Transfer content to a new device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 (you can also backup/restore via iCloud, but not all iTunes content is redownloadble, so you might not get all items copied over). -
Help needed: iPhone 4 software upgrade failed many times
Hello. I've bought an iPhone 4, which its operating system is 4.3, and was prompt by iTunes about this iPhone 4 software upgrade to iOS 4.3.5. I've downloaded the software and waiting for quite some time and after the dowloading has completed, the file will be processed. After processing, there is a popup saying that somehow the software upgrade failed and said something like make sure that your connection is correct etc. Do you have any idea on how to solve this issue?
Help me, please. Thank you very much.This is asked and answered many times each day. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
Diasble your firewall/security software and try again. -
My Ipad did work on my wireless at home and works on other wireless but no longer at home. My IPhone works at home and others can use the wireless> Confused that it did work and now does not?
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
On your iPad go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings and see if that enables you to connect.
Cheers, Tom -
- i updated my iphone 4 software on my other itunes library that is on my other user account on my laptop. my ringtones are not on my phone now but i see them in my library, but my phone is not synced to that library. how can i get my ringtones back without having to sync my phone to the library where my ringtones are and possibly lose everything on my phone ?
From my post on what seems like the same issue (found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21087892#21087892)
Take the following steps:
1) while connected to wifi, toggle off then back on the Show All Music and iTunes Match options shown in my original post. Important: I did this step before, but wasn't connected to wifi, and my music disappeared. Subsequently, I connected to wifi and turned off and then back on those options and everything came back though it was grayed out and my only option was to download music.
2) To get streaming over cellular back, go into Settings>General>Cellular and scroll down to the "Use Cellular Data for:" options and make sure the iTunes option is set to 'On'
The above steps will bring back the streaming capability which seemed to go away when you update to 6.1. It didn't ACTUALLY go away, but something about the update toggled off the iTunes option in step 2 above.
I did a final test by turning off wifi, opening Music app and selecting a song. It played successfully without downloading! Crossing my fingers, but I think I'm good to go!
Hope this helps! -

HT1338 How does one uninstall Garageband and other things?
How does one uninstall Garageband and other things on the Macbook air?
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper
2. AppDelete
3. Automaton
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

Nice to see 13" retina but it has only Intel HD Graphics 4000 and does not have NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory card. How it will affect the speed, performance and other things compared to 15" retina where NVIDIA GeForce card is available.
The 15" Retina's will have better performance than any 13" Retina. Not only do the 15" machines have dedicated GPU's, but they also have quad-core processors, whereas the 13" Retina's only have dual-core processors.
