Best way to buy iPhone 5 Help

Hey all,
I know all of you are sick and tired of this question, but I need your honest opinion.  I realize the wait time for actually getting an iphone 5 is extremely long, but what's the best medium for buying it? Apple online store, ATT online store, or ATT carrier store?
And for those who actually got their hands on one, how long did you typically wait for it to ship/arrive?
Thanks for your help!

  • WHat is the best way for other iphone users to share pictures with me?  I am doing a project which req. people to send me 100 pictures at a time that I'll be putting in my iphoto?

    ingridlisa,
    I'd suggest to ask them to create Shared PhotoStreams and to invite you to view the streams, see:
    iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams

    Will you be collecting the photos in iPhoto on your iPhone or on a Mac? On a Mac a Shared PhotoStream requires Mac OS X 10.8.2.

  • Best way to buy a Macbook Pro at an apple store

    I am going to purchase my first macbook pro next week. I am switching from Windows to Apple after 10 plus years of use. I am very excited to make the switch. My question is this, I was wondering what is the best way to buy one at an apple store? Should I schedule a one on one to make sure i get a rep? The reason I say this is because the store i go to is constantly busy and seems as though i probably wouldnt be able to get a sales rep for a while. Also i was wondering if this is something people use alot or does scheduling a one on one not happen very often. The last question I have is should i call ahead to the store to see if they have the macbook that i want in stock? If they dont can i order one over the phone and schedule a pickup at the store? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It never hurts to get a rep, as they may be able to show you things about the machine you may not have known, and if they are well trained, they can answer all your questions and make you feel more comfortable about your purchase.
    For custom configurations that are not listed in the store online by default, you will likely need to go online, though some stores have a fully featured configuration with the maximum custom addons all prebundled. For more customization online is better.
    Ordering over the phone to the brick and morter store is not as likely to be doable, though some stores may offer it. Each store has their own policy, and I suggest calling them ahead to find out what it is.
    You can at least for http://www.apple.com/retail/ set a genius bar appointment ahead of time, to discuss your needs.

  • Photos- best way to locate and manage (Help!)

    I moved to a Mac Pro with the idea that it would be a great computer and help me manage my tens of thousands of photos.  I tried to import my photos from an external drive and it failed multiple times.  I started using iPhoto and Picasa to manage new photos taken but when I went to send some to my family I couldn't find the ones I imported into iPhoto.  After a lot of trouble I realized iPhoto hides the files from you. So I think I exported them all and then I think maybe I found them and moved them to my master repository but then I found thousands of files in the trashcan that I couldn't locate either on my MAC or my external drive. I have no idea what is going on but I'm now very concerned that I've lost photos. I really resent iPhotos heavy handedness in photo management and thus don't want to move to it anymore- I might go back to a PC after this laptop because i can't find files in general and I think the learning curve is too great for me.  So my questions are:
    1. What is the best way to manage photos in the interim, while I still have a  MAC but the bulk of my photos are on an external drive?  Will the MAC let me save future pix directly to the external drive? Or should I do all photos through a PC
    2. Is there any way to expose the iPhoto files in finder?
    3. Has anyone use Picasa with success on a MAC? Am I right in thinking it only stores local photos if you edit them in Picasa? I am having a lot of trouble FINDING photos in Picasa- esp ones imported from my iPhone. It's nice that the mac imports "new" iPhone photos but I can't find them again so that is not so nice.
    4. Is there a duplicate detector people recommend? I have made a royal mess of my external hard drive of data as well as this MAC trying to import, find and recover pictures and data.
    I am extremely frustrated and i would appreciate any help.  I don't have a ton of time since I work full time and have three kids and I basically have done no photo sharing or editing in the 6 months I have had a mac because it's too confusing.
    Amy

    That's exactly the sort of crafty workaround I like. I didn't know they were all tagged, but that would definitely work. I'd still love a dedicated app that did it really well, or more love given to that side of things in iPhoto. iMovie is too hefty for just managing them.
    Is iPhoto properly built to handle management of iPhone video, by the way? I didn't want to use it because it didn't seem like it was, and also because I sync my iPhoto library with Dropbox and video would more than treble the size of the library so I manage it from the Finder mostly, importing clips to iMovie if I do want to edit something (rarely).

  • Best way to introduce iPhone

    My brother has just gotten iPhone 4 for Christmas. He is a little overwhelmed by the whole thing.. What is the best way to introduce him to all the features and basic use? Hopefully some YouTube video!?

    I do not want an iPhone yet.  Have no need for the extra dataplan chares per month.  Do not need to have a bright shiny target thieves love.
    That may change eventually, If I travel more for work.  But not for now.
    If your brother want simpler for now, let him be at peace with it.

  • Best way to author field level help for a CHM?

    Hi
    I have been asked to create an HTML help (CHM) system for a .Net application which will include context sensitive help at both page and field level.
    I have used map ids for page level help before - i.e. assigned a map id to topics and given this list to a developer for implementation, but I have never created field level help.
    I've been looking at the 'What's This?' help project wizard but am confused as to whether this is the best approach and how it fits with the project as a whole (or even if it compatible with .Net applications). Does this mean that I need two help projects for the application - one for the main help, and one for the field level help? Is there a way to create field level help without using the 'What's This?' wizard?
    I am using Robohelp 7.
    Any advice gratefully received!
    Chloe

    Hi, Chloe,
    As Peter notes, even Microsoft has backed away from using field-level Help in the last few years, so it may be worth trying to determine whether your users will benefit from having it available to them. That's not to say that you can't deliver field-level Help, however, as all the required methods for calling it are still available to .NET developers.
    To clarify, what Madcap Software calls "DotNet Help" is just a proprietary Help viewer that the company hopes will be more modern and appealing to writers than the older HTML Help (.chm) viewer. HTML Help remains the recommended format for Windows applications, whether .NET or not, and you can use any authoring tool that is capable of outputting a .chm file to create online Help for a .NET application.
    The method that your developers use to call field-level Help determines how it should be authored. If they use the standard .NET method (the SetHelpString method of the HelpProvider class), each text string is embedded in the application code itself, and not retrieved from your .chm file. More information here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.helpprovider.sethelpstring(VS .71).aspx
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821777
    http://helpware.net/mshelp2/demo2/h1xNET.htm
    Alternatively, developers can use the old HTML Help API to retrieve the text string from a .chm file. See:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms670082(VS.85).aspx
    http://helpware.net/htmlhelp/how_to_whatsthis.htm
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317406
    The drawback of both methods is that the Help popups are plain text only — no graphics, text formatting, hyperlinks, etc. To work around this, some people use the third-party KeyHelp control to create feature-rich HTML popups. See:
    http://www.keyworks.net/keyhelp.htm
    This allows you to deliver the type of Help that you mentioned in your second message ("is there a way to do this so that these topics open in a small popup, without the TOC / tri-pane structure?").

  • Best way to support iPhone when already got iBooks uploaded?

    Hi,
    I have already uploaded our Sing alone song books (with videos) to iBookstore. Since those books only supported iPad (done with iBA), we wish to support iPhone too (using ePub), as it will be cool to sing on a phone too.
    We tested the ePub version and works fine on iPhone and wish to upload it for iPhone.
    Is this allowed? To have 1 book targeting iPad and another targeting iPhone?
    Can we make the ePub version iPhone-only?
    What's the best way to name the books to avoid confusion?
    Any suggestions welcome!

    Your e-pub version cannot be 'iPhone' only, sorry. If you do this, you'll have one version for iPhone/iPad and one for iPad (iBook 2 only) in the store at the same time.
    Not sure what name to suggest without knowing the existing name, sorry. You may wish to check the store for examples and be ready with options if Apple objects during the review process.

  • Best Way To Clean iPhone Screen?

    I've had my iPhone since the day it came out and, as such, it's been jostled a fair bit.
    I use the cleaning cloth that came with it but sometimes there are spots that it can't get off.
    I'm afraid of using anything wet on it, even a damp cloth.
    Someone recommended alcohol-based solutions but I'm not sure.
    What is the absolute best way to keep this thing clean?

    Yup! That's what I was gonna say was rubbing alcohol. I just dabbed a cotton bud in a little bit of peroxide and wiped the screen; everything came right off. If you're concerned about damp stuff, you can squeeze out most of the liquid from the cotton bud first before rubbing it on the screen.
    To be completely honest, though, in my case I do not have to deal with cleaniness that frequently. I've had my phone in a case with a plastic cover film on the face almost since the day I got it. I don't remember why I pulled it out of it's case for a little bit there, but I do remember it got dirty and this was a great way to shine it up!

  • Best Way to Buy an iPad Gift for Somebody in Foreign Country (UK)

    Hi there,
    I'm in Canada and want to buy an iPad for somebody in London, England.
    What's the best way to do that?
    I went to the Apple UK website, put the iPad in my shopping cart, and went to check out. Then I found out they have a security setting that won't let you buy anything unless you're from the UK/Europe/USA.
    Do I have to buy one from an Apple Canada store online and mail it? If so are there any configuration differences for the UK that would prevent it from working even if I got it working here?
    I'd prefer to buy it from the UK where they have free shipping direct and guaranteed compatibility. I haven't found any UK stores besides the Apple site that sell them.

    Thanks. I was concerned about ordering from a potentially "difficult" UK firm. I once got a laptop from a US company and dealing with it was a lost cause.
    I was wondering about ordering from the Regent Street Apple Store in London, which isn't far from the intended recipient.
    But my credit card company might not let it go through even if the store accepts it, because of security restrictions.
    To the person who suggested buying here and sending there, are there no compatibility issues?

  • Best way to sync iphone and ipod touch

    I have had an ipod touch for some time and have just got an iphone. Ideally I want to keep the ipod touch for music, games etc and use the phone purely for internet, phone etc and maybe a couple of cd's on there. Is there a best way to sync them both - ie something I should make sure I tick when I set up the iphone or will it handle it automatically.
    Thanks
    nick

    iTunes on your computer will keep them separate. I have 2 iPhones and 1 iPod Touch all syncing to the same computer, with different playlists, apps, contact groups, etc., on each of the devices.
