Am I the only person who thinks the iPhone 5 is difficult to set up?

Am I the only person who thinks the iPhone 5 is difficult to set up?  At one entry I use just my Apple ID (not an email) and it goes through.  At another entry it requires the entire email.   ??

Probably not, but I suspect you didn't read the user guide, and will be one of the people who come later ranting to this forum about issues that are clearly covered in the said guide.

  • Am I the only person who misses the drag and drop method of adding and deleting songs on iTunes devices?

    I am constantly getting frustrated with the newer versions of iTunes because my different apple devices have different amounts of storage. I miss the days when I could drag and drop songs to various devices. I don't always want the same songs on all devices, so I don't like to sync because I sometimes lose something I want to keep on that device. I am just curious if I'm the only one who misses this feature or is there a way of doing this that I've just not found? Thanks.

    In the Summary tab of iTunes - when the iDevice is connected to your Mac - select Manually Manage Music and Videos. You should be able to drag and drop.
    If you don't see the sidebar and the device is syncing automatically, you can enable the sidebar from the ITunes Menu - View>Show Sidebar. The. You can click on your device name imder the devices heading, then click on the Summary Tab.
    You can also disable auto syncing in iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing autonatically.
    I never auto sync and never have. I select Sync Only Checked Songs And Videos in the Summary tab and I can still drag and drop songs. I can also select the albums, playlist, or artists that I want to sync by using this method.

  • Am I the only person who thinks it's stupid and annoying that I have to physically connect my iPhone to my Mac in order to transfer videos onto the Mac?

    iCloud has made almost all comunication between my iPhone and my Mac wireless. Except transfering video... I get that maybe they're being conciderate of your data usage, which is good. But it could still be automatic with a wifi connection or at least the iPhone could show up in iPhoto with the ability to pull those movies down. Just feels like a big miss to me in the UX.

    Sorry, after Steven Jobs left, I strongly doubt the prospect of Apple company.
    The design is attention-seeking and make no sense. It is all about fancy in stread of user-friendly.
    The color hurts my eyes. Please bring back the old design!
    As a person who studied visual communication in undergraduate, I cannot stand this design for a second.

  • HT201304 I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks

    Hello I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks
    Ps what difference does it makeo

    It's your choice. If you are the only person that uses the iPad then it's probably not necessary, but, for example, if you think that you will never make in-app purchases then you could disable them via Restrictions so that you can't accidentally make them.
    In terms of the difference that it makes, then you can use it to hide some of the built-in apps e.g. Safari, App Store (via 'Installing Apps') etc, prevent apps from being deleted, or hide some of your content.
    But if you do set restrictions then remember the passcode that you use for it - if you forget the restrictions code then the only way (unless it wasn't in place when you last backed up) to remove it is reset the iPad back to factory defaults.

  • I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

    I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

    Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

  • Am I the ONLY person who's angry that mobile hasn'...

    Hello.  Am I the ONLY person who's angry that my mobile hasn't lasted for several years?  Am I the ONLY person who's had problems on and off throughout the last two years with his / her Nokia, AND had it replaced twice by Nokia Care, and now that it is out of warranty, require $292 to be repaired?                                                    
    Bought the Nokia 6110 on a typical 2 year plan 2 years ago, and it just hasn't ever been faultless.                
    But even though it kept going 'funny', at least I could use some of the features, and Nokia Care have replaced the 'innards' of it from Nokia Asia somewhere, which took ages,  And the 'loan fones' have been just aweful.  And 'no', the loan fones were not able to hold Contact numbers from the 6110.              
    But when my Nokia 6110 started to just 'drop out' and say "Insert SIM Card", I knew I had a big problem.  At first 'they' said it was because I didn't update the Nokia firmware upgrade properly.  Then they said ....................................................  Then they said I needed to get a new SIM card from my Telco because some times the SIM cards "go bad".
    However yesterday Nokia Care finally dropped the 'big one' - my fone can be repaired for $292.  That's almost THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS.  Tell me, how much is a new Nokia.
    Oh, and I am STILL waiting to hear from Nokia Care about when I can go back and pick up my 'dead' phone.
    Did I tell you my 2 year contract ran out three months ago?  Did I tell you I now can get another fone, with whichever Telco I chose, and I can pick any fone I want to go with another contact?   So like you, I am doing HEAPS of 'reviewing' of fones on every website I can find, and I am asking people, and doing FaceBook, and Twitter, and ...................
    And guess which brand I will not ever get again??  And guess which brand I am telling everyone about??
    Oh, and I have written quite a few times before to Nokia - and I am still waiting for a reply...............   That's what makes telling everyone how I feel SO much easier.
    Nokia, you have lost your 'edge'.  You care so much about 'selling', that you have forgotten its also about OWNING and SERVICING.  Gosh, you do it bad.  The products are hit-and-miss; your support is lousy; and your communication just sucks big time.
    Have a nice day.

    Hi Disappointed_Nk ,  
    Kindly take note that the boards here are for user-to-user support only.
    If you want to provide any feedback directly to Nokia, you should use the 'Contact us' link at the top of the page to contact your local Nokia team.

  • Am I the only one who thinks that itunes eq presets do nothing?

    Am I the only one who thinks that itunes eq presets do nothing? Bass on my cd walkman is many times more superior to the one i get from ipod or macbook. And those eq presets are useless. I want real bass. I get far better bass on cd walkman with the same headphones. It has been an issue from day one when i got my first ipod when they started making ipods. It stores a lot of music but the quality of bass is so useless. eq are useless. don't start on eq, they are rubbish in comparison to a cd walkman.

    They are more noticable on a good set of headphones. However, I never EQ my music, I would rather listen to it how its supposed to sound then just +6 on the low end to get a rumble. I think that's Apple mentality aswell

  • I submitted an email but the auto response indicates I have to wait up to 48 hours for a response.  Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous???

    Why isn't there a phone number for iTunes Support?  My only iTunes Support contact option is email.  I submitted an email but the auto response indicates I have to wait up to 48 hours for a response!  Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous???

    oh whoops i forgot to tell you, i didn't actually find apple's number, although i think they have one.........what i did was i went onto the express lane and when through a series of steps and typed in my phone number and it was SUPER fast. It scared me that as soon as i pressed enter, not more than 30 seconds later, my phone started ringing. But that's the one you have to pay for.....

  • Am I the only person who hated AVATAR

    Hi all
    I actually fell asleep during Avatar (and that was BEFORE a visit to the pub).
    Am I the only person who actually found this movie REALLY Boring
    Cheers
    jimbo

    No you are not! I found it really boring too! I mean, I enjoyed the effects and oohed and aaahed at all the right scenes, but frankly, I would have rather stayed at home and watched Bullit or something.
    And for those you will be putting the question up, yes, I saw it in 3D and everything.
    Saw Sherlock Holmes the other day and found it a 100 times better than Avatar, though being a die hard fan of the books for such a long time, I found the idea of a hyperactive-snide-remark-spitting-funny-man Holmes a bit difficult to take in. I'm not saying its bad, I'm just saying its hard to get used to at first to the idea of this new iteration of the screen Holmes.

    "Your options are:

    Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
    "Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
    The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
    I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
    Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.
