Beware of iPhone 4S "Delivery Exceptions" from FedEx Today!
Hi there --
I'm a new iPhone 4S Verizon subscriber -- a refugee from AT&T.
If your iPhone hasn't arrive yet -- this could be the reason why:

[fixed broken link]
The two iPhone 4S were just delivered.
It was my regular FedEx guy. He looked really worn out. He is always good to me, as I am to him, so I know he got here as fast as he could. He did say there were a lot of iPhones left to deliver.
Setting up the phones via iCloud backup was a breeze. Verizon activation was quick. Beautiful phones. Definitely worth the wait and the angst. SMILE!

Anyone else have an iPhone 4 with 'Delivery Exception'
One of my 4 iPhone 4 orders is actually on a FedEx truck 'out for delivery', but it will not be delivered today because of a 'delivery exception'. It will stay on the truck until tomorrow, the official release date. Any else experiencing this??
Scratch that...
They still delivered it. I left a 'pre-sign' form and it was waiting for me at home. Hoping my other 3 orders get delivered tomorrow. -
my iphone 4 fell down from 3 feet height and display is not working now, phone is functioning with calls and messages etc.. except no display please advise me a corrective action...
Take it to an Apple Store and see about getting an out of warranty replacement. I believe it will run you about $150.

On my iPhone, I have songs from a CD that I bought and no longer have. I now have a new computer and it is telling me that to move songs that I only have on my computer, I must erase all of the music from my iPhone (It also says that my phone is already synced with another computer so it has to download everything). I would like to keep all of the music on my Phone and still be able to have these songs from my computer on my iPhone. Help!
The iPhone is not a storage device. iPhone is designed to sync with 1 computer and
iPhone sync only one way computer -> iPhone except content bought from iTunes.

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -
This could save me from jail. I need to prove that I DIDNT delete one or more photos from my iphone. Is there a hidden numbering system that will show if some are missing? Here's what happened:
I went from point A to point B, and I took photos at both places. I was arrested for allegedly taking a detour in between A and B to take one or more photos on my iPhone, which I did NOT. The sequence of photos on my iPhone shows this (photos from A and then B with nothing in between), but my false accuser will just claim I deleted the ones in between (to have me imprisoned falsely. long story).
I am innocent and I'm hoping my iPhone can prove that. Any help is MUCH appreciated.
Oh, and I haven't synced the phone since this happened, if that's an issue.A managed library is the default type that iPhoto creates. Make sure you have the option selected to copy photos into iPhoto when importing:
was hoping it would at least keep thumbnails of all my photo's.
I use a DAM (digital asset management) program which will do exactly what you want: Media Pro 1. It creates catalogs (libraries) of thumbnails, up to 640 x 480, that is uses to manage the photos. You can do anything to the photos except edit, slideshows, or anything that requires the full source image when the source files are not available. You can arrange photos in Catalog Sets (like iPhoto albums), add keywords, etc. to them even when the sorce files are not available. When the source files are available you can write that metadata to the source file and rename files. You can use Media Pro in demo mode for about a month I believe.
A catalog file for 44,000 photos (178 GB) with the thumbnails set for 320 pixels at high resolution is only 1.5 GB. The larger the thumbnail selected the larger the catalog file will be. -
Verizon rep told me that the tracking info doesnt matter until we get an email from fedex?
About 4 reps said the shipped/not shipped info doesnt mean anything but if it wasnt a pre order, when it would have shiped. And to not trust it until you get an email from fedex.
So everyone shouldnt worry if it says processing, you will still get it.
And for the ones that say shipped, dont get too excited until around the 7th lol.
I really wish verizon wireless in general would confirm this though.iFreak22 wrote:
Really? When i pre order things that are shipped by fedex i always get a email when it is shipped and the tracking number works.

Did you call CS 4 times to ask the same question? I don't recall ever getting an email from Fedex for ANYTHING I've ever ordered online from Verizon or anywhere...unless I've requested on the fedex website to be emailed when I did the tracking...but I had the tracking # from the company I ordered from first.
Also, you may want to leave CS alone with the "when will this ship" business...there are people having computer issues trying to place orders and they're getting inundated with "when will this ship?" when the confirmations clearly say 2/10/11. If your order says it's been shipped then AT LEAST give it 24 hours to see if you get a tracking # before you call.
I mean seriously, most of us have waited for years for the iphone...can we wait just 1 more week?
You get an email from Fedex? Or from the company? I don't think I've ever received an email from Fedex directly...I've gotten emails from the company I'm ordering from with a link to the fedex website and the tracking info, but never from fedex... -
IPhone 6 delivery date changed
My iPhone 6 delivery date had changed from 10/14 to not available at this time? Can someone from Verizon please help me track down my order?
SandyS_VZW,
This isn't as simple as just saying "the confirmation email is not correct". The 'Deliver By' date shown on the site during checkout for a lot of users, myself included, was 9/19/2014. The only reason I ordered via Verizon, rather than Apple's site, or rather than making an in-store reservation, or rather than visiting a Verizon store is because you put that 'Deliver By: 9/19/2014' date, nicely highlighted, during the entire checkout process. There was nothing indicating that this was estimated or would change. My confirmation email arrived and I was elated to have an actual confirmation number and confirmed delivery date.
If you are telling us that this date was completely wrong, from the time I opened up the website and clicked to add the item to my card...that's just flat out misrepresentation on Verizon's part. If the website had shown 10/14, I never would have ordered. I would have gone to Apple's site and made a reservation, or had one shipped. But now that's impossible because I assumed that the date on your website, listed as 'Deliver By', was actually valid and would be honored.
This is extremely poor customer service and I want my 'Deliver By' date in my confirmation email honored. -
Neither iPad or iphone 4S will update from 5.01 to 5.1
Neither my iPad 2 or my iPhone 4S will update from OS 5.01 to 5.1. On my iPad, when I go to Settings, General, Software Update I get the ipad error message: Unable to Check for Update Now - An eror occurred while checking for a software update.
The iPad and iPhone have been set to automatically backup up to iCloud and have been backing up automatically every day.
I tried connecting to my iTunes on my iMac running 10.6.8, but I get the error message "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPad. The network connection could not be established."
My internet connection is fine as well as wireless. And I have no other USB devices connected, the latest versions of iMac software (white iMac 10.6.8) and iTunes (10.6 build 40), and have rebooted both the iMac and iPad with always the same result and messages.
For some reason, neither one of my devices seems to be able to download the 5.1 update.
Any advice? Apple's "more information" link on the error message doesn't really say much except to check for the above things I've mentioned.
Thanks!Springbk wrote:

I found the above instructions on another discussion thread and so changed the second of my two DNS settings to the first address provided above and both the iPad and iPhone then were able to update to 5.1 without issue.
Judging from the number of "thank you" posted there it seems like changing the DNS settings is the solution to the 5.1 update issues. -
Buying an iPhone 5S or 5C from online store completely Sim-Free?
Hello, is buying a iPhone 5S or 5C from the Australian Apple Online store completely sim-free and unlocked?
No. Sim Free usually refers to a phone that has no Sim card inside.
Most of the time Unlocked Phones are sim free. As in: they do not come with a sim card.
However there are exceptions, a good example is the Unlocked T-Mobile version in the U.S. online store. They are unlocked but are not sim-free because they come packaged with a T-Mobile sim card that can be removed.
Any sim card from any carrier, can then be placed inside the phone and it will work. -
Lead time for iPhone 6 silver 64G from Apple?
I ordered an iPhone 6 silver 64G from AT&T. It has been 4 weeks. The delivery dates are tomorrow (11/12 through 11/21). I'm hoping I get it soon.
Has anyone on the forum ordered this specific model from Apple lately? What was the expected lead time? I have heard from friends that they have seen 64G iPhone 6's in stock in the Apple store. Can this be true? I would pick the one that is hardest to find...
Thanks in advance.Alfredo Jahn wrote:

Ask AT&T.
Sorry your question doesn't fall into a technical question which is what this forum is for. -
When is the next iphone 6 delivery after 9/19?
when is the next iphone 6 delivery after 9/19? is there a delivery on 9/26? or it jumps on oct 1-6
Apple will estimate the shipping date based on estimates of how fast they can manufacture devices, demand from online orders, keeping stock in stores, etc.
They will then present you with an estimate-usually a range such as 3-4 weeks. -
APARTMENT NUMBERS!! DELIVERY EXCEPTION!!
I live in a townhouse and DID enter my unit number on both of my orders. I just checked fedex (even though it says out for delivery, my OCD got the best of me) and good thing I did because it says there's a DELIVERY EXCEPTION for no unit number!
I called Fed Ex and they said they can't change it- verizon has to! So I called Verizon *611 and they've updated it, but it has to go to their shipping department and it can take 24-48 hours!!!!!!!!!!! She said it's usually faster, but that's what they have to say!! {word filter avoidance}
So, I'm going to give fed ex a check in about 1/2 hour and hopefully it'll update in time. Otherwise, guess I'll be SOL until I can get to the fedex location to pick it up! Ugh! SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW!!!
So if you had apartment # issues on your order, you may want to call fedex to make sure they have it and if not get on the horn to Verizon to update it ASAP.cathied wrote:

IPhone wont send email from a certain mail account
I know the settings are right, but the iPhone wont send mail from one of my mail accounts (hosted by the company i work for, which offers mail hosting as a service, and has hundreds of other iPhone users with the same account settings.)
The progress bar that indicates "sending" zips by suspiciously quickly when I hit Send, but there is no audio confirmation. Then the email is gone - its not in my Sent Items folder, and its not in the Drafts folder and its not in my broom closet.
From what I understand, if one SMTP server isn't available, it should default to the AT&T SMTP server, but it apparently doesn't even get that far, because the phone must think it's sent the message, or it would end up in the Drafts folder (or Outbox, I can't recall), which is what I would normally experience if I had no service at the time I was sending the message. I have two other accounts that work normally on the iPhone. Nothing has been recently changed with the SMTP server in question, which works fine with all my other devices.
I've tried:
• deleting the account and re-adding it manually (four times)
• deleting the account and syncing it with my computer (three times)
• hard resetting the iPhone
• ensuring that the primary SMTP server for this account is, in fact, switched to "On" in Settings->Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, <mail account>-->SMTP (which brings me to another question: how do I edit this list? Is it automatically populated by the accounts in my Mail app?
• screaming from my back porch
Ideas?
Email Account type: IMAP
Authentication type: MD5 with SSL
Port: 587
8GB 3G iPhone, Software version 2.2.1One thing that might help.
If your primary server is hosted by your company, double check the outgoing settings.
Host Name:
Use SSL:
Authentication:
Server Port:
If it zips through your primary server without effect, try turning the primary server off and one of the secondary on.
If connected to Edge or 3G, you can use ATT's SMTP server.
If issue still persists, then set up a gmail or yahoo account to test with.
Both are free email services.
If still fails, then general troubleshooting might help.
Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

You might need to reset and or restore the iphone to resolve any software issues.
Hope this helps. -
Why is it that when I delete an email message from an account on my iPhone it instantly disappears from the same email account on my wife's iPhone? We both have iOS7 and have imap email accounts.
not all mail providers sync the send mail part of the mail box
you can try to contact yahoo if this is the case with them
