6280 - How do you hold yours?

I was reading the instruction manual last night and it said that if you held the phone near where the antenna is located (At the top of the "bottom half" of the phone) when on a call, the call quality can be affected and much more power is used.
Seems bizarre but it could be why people are having battery problems as this seems to be the most comfortable way to hold the phone when the slide is open?????

I bought the "all-purpose, 12-piece" egrips sheet (clear, not colored), and it has a couple of strips that fit nicely along each long edge. There's a 3"x0.35" strip that fits nicely along the side without the buttons, and another 1.45"x0.35" strip that works well when put in the center of the other edge.
They make a big difference in grip and handling, and my iPhone still fits into the dock.
I also put some extra pieces on the back, but those only help when the iPhone lies on a desk -- they don't really help when held.
I've only had them for a week, and, so far, they show no signs of coming off, even after multiple insertions/extractions from my incase belt pouch. They also don't make it significantly harder to put the iPhone into my pouch.
Best of all, it's cheaper than the specialized iPhone egrips, and the sheet still has another set of the same (side) strips, just in case the first set somehow comes off.

TS3212 how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

how do you get your itunes back if you uninstall in on your computer

Does the book show in the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks for downloading, and the amount that's come off your card is the book's price, it's not a temporary store holding charge (which should disappear within a few days or so) ?
If it doesn't show in Purchased then you could check to see if it shows in your Purchaes history so that you can use the 'report a problem' link from it : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If doesn't show there or the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.
For the card being declined, if it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support as above and see if they know why it's being declined.

How do you restore your macbook to original settings?

how do you restore your macbook to original settings?

Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
If you upgraded from an earlier version of OS X such as Snow Leopard, the procedure you want is not this one. Let me know.

How do you hold the Magic Mouse?

I've had my Magic Mouse for about a month now and the one thing that's really got me on the verge of swapping it out is how I inadvertently move the canvas when I'm working with Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. With standard mice you don't really have to care about the state of your index finger after you click or how it may slightly touch the surface as you move the mouse around, but with the MM it's something to be conscious of. When I stop to inspect the mechanics of how I use a mouse, it's amazing how often my index finger inadvertently bounces back and forth from the surface. When I'm lifting up, setting back down, considering a click, scrolling, etc. I'm gonna try to consciously keep my index finger down when I'm moving the mouse around in hopes that it'll stop this unwanted result.
So how do you hold the Magic Mouse? Is your index finger always down when you move it around?

Good question. Seems i use the middle finger for everything except for when I need to swap desktops or do other stuff with mission control.

What's the difference between and educator and a teacher? I always called my teachers "Teacher" or "Teach".
Most use a large cart that hold about a dozen iPads and charge them simultaneously.

How can you screen your iPad on a Keynote presentation just like Apple?
Like when they had last years WWDC when they demoed iOS 5 on the iPod Touch 4G
Can you do that with an iPad 2?

AL113-
Mirroring refers to normal operation of the iPad, where you can see the Home screen on your external display, as well as when setting up a slide show, et cetera. You may not need to mirror the iPad's display for presentations (but the iPad 2 does mirror). At least for slide shows and videos, the iPad 2's screen does not show the presentation when an AV cable is connected, it only appears on the external screen.
The alternative I mentioned about using the Apple TV box with AirPlay is probably easier to do, except you need the Apple TV box to interface to your external display. One problem with an AV adapter, is that the weight of its cable tends to pull the connector out of the iPad as you are holding it.

How do you use your iPod Touch?

I'm thinking of buying an ipod touch 5th gen, but I have to convince myself that it would help me significantly before I drop $300 on a device. My question: how do you use your iPod Touch, aka, what things have helped you significantly, excluding games? I've heard a ton about how awesome the new version is, and everything about its camera and retina display, but I want to know that I would actually use one first....
Thanks.

Surf the web from bed and coffee shops/bookstores. When in a store that has WiFi I may research a product that looks interesting to buy.
It is a camera that is always with you (assuming you always take it with you), so you can capture that picture that happens once in a life time. Also the camera is great when shopping for "Big Ticket" items as you can take pictures to remind you of things you were looking at so you can do additional research at home before making your final decision.
Check my mail from bed and coffee shops/bookstores, etc... when WiFi is available.
Use it as an alarm clock, meeting reminder, todo reminder.
Take notes (not school notes, just ideas, stuff I maybe want to buy, useful information I may pick up in a bookstore, books I may want to buy, etc...)
Contains my contacts for friends, family, and businesses (plumber, dentist, doctor, etc...)
Plays music, or in my case, I listen to podcasts
Reading ebooks. I use it a lot to read ebooks. It is always with me, so I can read a book anywhere, such as waiting in a doctor/dentist office, at the motor vehicle registry. And reading in bed is great as when you fall asleep, it remembers what page you were on vs that book that drops onto your face and wakes you back up while at the same time loosing your page
The Maps app is great for finding where something is located, and plotting how to get there (not as good as having an iPhone with GPS, but still useful). Also the satellite images make it easier to visualize where you are going.
When connected to WiFi it can be used for Facetime when calling a friend or family member that also has an iOS device. Seeing a loved one when they are not near can be emotionally satisfying. You can also make skype calls.
I use 1Password to store all my passwords. It keeps them secure, I always have them with me, and I do not need to use the same password over and over again, or make them too simple to remember. 1Password has a built-in browser so you it can substitute the correct password for the web site you are visting without actually needing to look it up.
1Password related but not passwords. Because 1Password encrypts all the data it holds, I can also store sensitive information (such as medical conditions, or other information I do not want made public should my device be lost or stolen), yet always have that information with me should I need it.
I can get the weather. This week, I've been using an app to get high/low Tide infromation, plus sunrise information. But getting weather info when you wake up so you can plan your day and if you need to shovel the driveway before going to work. I find it easier to get the weather from my iOS device than it is to use my laptop or turn on the Weather Channel.
Calclator. 2+2 = 4, but there are times you do need to get something right, and calculators are useful. They have all kinds available, including hexidecimal calculators for programmers.
RSS newsfeed reader (I follow about 20+ feeds, including these discussions groups via RSS feeds).
Travel services. Most airports have WiFi, and you can get updated travel info for your flights via some speciallized travel apps.
If you are into tracking your car mileage, gas usage, maintenance costs, etc..., there are apps for that.
While you can watch video on your iOS device (downloaded movies, YouTube), you can also stream movies from services such as Netflix. This can be useful when traveling, or if you are stuck in bed with a cold, or if you have lost control of the "Remote" and do not want to watch "Dancing with the Stars"
TV related, there are apps that will give you the TV schedule for your area, so you can browse the shows on this evening.
List. You can keep lists, including grocery shopping lists, items to pack for a trip lists, things to do for that bathroom remodel, things you need to get before school starts, Christmas lists, etc.... NOTE: Ideas for Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary gifts may come anytime during the year, but if you do not write them down, you may be scratching your head when the event arrives. Putting them in a list can help you later on.
You can get a Level app. You may laugh, but I have actually used my iOS device to check if something was level. It was there, and a carpenters level was not. Not perfect, but it did what I needed at the time.
Finding a good resturante (Yelp, Urbanspoon, etc...). The iOS device can be very helpful in finding a good nearby place to eat when away from home, or even discovering a new play where you live to get out of that eat at the same place rut.
That is some of the things I use my iOS device for.

Hmmm... Submit button doesn't need a double click at all. Maybe you are talking about the two-step process? When you click on Submit, the feedback appears with the message to click anywhere or press Y. Is that what you are talking about? If you are talking about a real double-click, something must be wrong in your file. And which version are you using?
