Can invisishield block reception?

My wife and I each have an iphone. Her iphone has a standard front screen protecter and a rubber stretch-on, wrap-around rubber case on the back and sides. Mine has an invisishield scratch protector on the front and back.
While driving down the road today, I held both phones next to each other and opened the maps application. My iphone gps reception was not as accurate, as it had the wider, flashing circle around my location and was frequently unresponsive and seemed to lose reception. My wife's iphone showed no circle around our location, was more accurate and did not seem to lose reception.
Could the invisishield be interfering with reception on my iphone? Are there any metallic components in the invisishield or anything else about it that might interfere with reception?
Could my device just not be as strong reception-wise?
I'm considering removing the back part of the invisishield just to compare the before and after affect.
Thanks,
doug

It seems very unlikely. I doubt there are any heavy metals or leads in it. GPS can be blocked by car roofs or it could be just small differences in manafacturing or perhaps the network settings in the phone are not configured correctly. You might consider some general troubleshooitng like iPhone > Settings > General > Reset > reset network settings although you would have to re-pair bluetooth devices and retype wifi password. also try the two button reset for 10 seconds

Can I block Mac Keeper pop-up adds from Safari web pages?

I have a 2008 MBP running Lion with Safari 5.1.1.1. On several web pages I open that contain adds, these stupid Mac Keeper adds continually appear. If possible, how can I block them from appearing?

The Safari AdBlock extension works.
https://extensions.apple.com/
You can access the settings from Safari / Preferences - Extensions after it's installed.
I haven't seen a MacKeeper pop up using either Glimmer Blocker or the Safari Adblock extension.

My neighbour's Mac Book Pro shows up as discoverable when Bluetooth is turned on in my iPad Air. How can I block her device? How can I prevent her pairing with my iPad Air. I need Bluetooth on to play music over my system.

My neighbour's Mac Book Pro shows up as discoverable in my Bluetooth list on my iPad Air. How can I block her Bluetooth device? How can I prevent her pairing with my device? I need Bluetooth to stream music on my Bose system. Thanks!

If your device is discoverable, the other BT device would try (I am not sure if that would be successful). If it was, it would appear in your system preferences>Bluetooth.
Take a look at this re: security:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10786
This is from another Apple article:
Use Bluetooth
You can wirelessly transfer files between computers—even Mac to PC—using the Bluetooth File Exchange utility. You can even browse selected devices and retrieve files remotely. For extra security, you can stipulate that only trusted devices be allowed to connect to your Mac, and 128-bit over-the-air encryption is also available

P.S. Since I have not had the issue, I have not researched this before. Thank you for making me look into BT security

How can I block all other mail account just to only use the exchange mailbox of our company? This is to prevent the user to setup his on company iPhone.

I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

Verizon can't fix it and yahoo can't change your Samsung application function.
Just use the free Yahoo app.
i Have a yahoo and Gmail and use separate apps for this reason.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How can we block, a particular payment term for a particular vendor.

Dear Experts,
How can we block, a particular payment term for a particular vendor.
BR.
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
If you want to block payment term for "particular vendor" then you need to define a validation rule.
As per my understanding, the link provided by Owen will block term for all vendors.

It was never free for the 3GS.
It is if the initial sign-up is done on an iPhone 4, iPad or iPod touch 4th gen.
From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436:
After I sign up for Find My iPhone for free, can I use it on other iOS devices?
Yes, if your devices are running iOS 4.2. For example, you can sign up for Find My iPhone for free on your iPad and use the same account information to sign in to MobileMe on your iPhone 3GS and turn on Find My iPhone.
