  • Blocking Phone Calls on the iPhone

    Anyone have a method to
    block incoming phone calls
    from arbitrary numbers or
    swaths of numbers to an
    Apple iPhone 3g?
    Example: block all calls from
    area code 951... block all from
    951-123-4567, block all
    that come in from 951-123-*,
    etc.
    Lightwave on the Palm Treo
    can do this, easily. (I am pretty
    new to the Apple iPhone so
    pardon the newbie approach.)

    As with a landline, I believe cell phone numbers can be used for telemarketing purposes by a company you have done business with if you provide your cell phone number to the company when purchasing merchandise, etc.
    I doubt many cell phone carriers are overly concerned about losing market share - with each other maybe, but not losing market share to landlines. AT&T's residential landline business has been gradually dropping for years with a significant drop indicated with their most recent quarterly report, which is the same for all landline providers. I use my personal cell phone in place of a landline, and I've been doing this for the last 5 years or so, which has been a growing trend.
    Telemarketers are probably more respectful of Federal law in this regard with a Federal do not call registry for landlines and cell phone numbers they must respect or face prosecution or fines by the Federal government. Regardless, there is a Federal do not call registry, which everyone with a landline or cell phone number should use if they want to prevent or minimize telemarketing calls, and be careful or aware before giving out their phone number.

  • How do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s

    how do i stop notifications from ringing while im on a phone call on the iphone 4s?

    Basel,
    I'm not sure why these folks are having trouble understanding your request. I will dumb it down for them. Is there an option to have the iPhone only provide me with notifications when I'm not on the phone. Having my $800ish phone buzz and interrupt my phone conversation (after all primary function of this iPhone is being a phone) to let me know one of my Facebook friends has challenged me to a game of words with friends. I don't want my iPhone to not notify me at all. It can notify me after the call (again primary function) is complete. Going through menus and turning off notifications all together is absolutely silly. I wouldn't want to have to navigate through the menus and turn them off and then on an then off just to make or receive a phone call. Could you imagine answering you phone with, "hey, just wait I have to turn my notifications off so I can have this conversation." every time you wanted to talk on the phone.
    So yeah. Again not sure why they were having trouble with understanding you. I hope this helps clarify it for them.

  • HT4972 How can I record phone calls with my iphone?

    How can I recorrd phone calls with my iPhone? Here in Bogota, Colombia, the IPhone support, has been trying to download programs, which should make possible to record phone calls, but they do not work. They and myself, we have lost many hours trying. Please help.

  • Why can't I record calls with the iPhone?

    Hi,
    Why can't I record calls with the iPhone? Every other mobile can! That's quite pitty ...!

    Nonsense. There are many places where you are not allowed to take photos or video but those functions are included. Apple assumes no responsibility for them. Apple would not be responsible for managing the recordings on the phone either. It's most likely because Apple is located in California and in THAT particular state, both parties have to be informed of the recording. Most states do not require that. If Apple were located in another state (e.g. Alaska) there would be no restriction.
    All the apps that record calls store those recordings in their servers and charge you a fee. It would be preferable to have the calls stored only on the phone so no one else could access them. The iPhone has the technological capability; we have just been restricted from having this functionality without paying a 3rd party.

  • My iPad is receiving the phone calls that the iPhone under the same iCloud account is receiving, how do I stop/prevent this?

    I have an older iPad that we use at my office for Pandora. My iPhone is connected to the same iCloud account as my iPhone is & once in a while my iPad will receive a phone call, not a FaceTime call, from one of my contacts that's trying to call me. It will say the contact's name up at the top like usual, it plays my iPhone ringtone, says "Slide to Answer" but also beneath that it says "from my iPhone." I still receive the phone call on my iPhone but I also receive it on my iPad & I'd obviously like it to stop. Can anybody help me out?

    To turn off iPhone cellular calls on your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

  • HT4528 how can you recover deleted photos from the iPhone hard drive?

    Is there anyway possible i can recover my deleted photos from my iphone hard drive for free?

    You can't for two reasons: First, the iPhone doesn't have a hard drive. Second, there is no Trash folder, so once something is deleted it is gone forever. If you were foresighted enough to sync your phone regularly the photos should still be in the app you used for managing photos from digital cameras on your computer, and they are also in the iPhone backup on your computer. If you enabled Photo Stream they are also in iCloud. But if you didn't take advantage of any of these backup options you are out of luck.

  • Can you block gps tracking on your iphone

    Can I block gps tracking on my iphone?

    What GPS tracking?
    GPS provides your location to Apps within the iPhone.     You can manage what apps have access to Location Services in Settings->Privacy->Location Services. You can turn location Sharing to other devices there too.
    If you have Find My iPhone turned on, it uses the iPhone's GPS location to find it in icloud.com.
    You can turn this off in Settings->iCloud.

  • Why can't i receive texts while on a phone call on the iphone 5s

    I receive all my texts after I hang up with a phone call. I don't even get notifications of a text at all while on a phone call. I know with iMessage you can't receive them while on a call but for normal texts how do I change that?

    New phone? Peeled off the protective plastic from the face of the phone?

  • Can you block a call

  • Can you upload your photos from the iPhone to the computer?

    I want to upload my pictures onto my laptop and all i can seem to do is transfer the computers pictures to my phone which is the total opposite of what i am trying to do...is it actually possible to do the reverse and put my iPhone pictures onto my computer? Thanks :)

    The photo sync is one way - computer to iphone.  As they came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there and be included in your regular backup of your computer.
    Pics taken with iphone should be imported as you would from any digital camera:

  • Can you sync email sent from the iPhone to Mail.app?

    When you send an email from iPhone, can you have it sync'd to the Sent folder of your Mail.app on your Mac? I had a look through the iPhone user guide and couldn't find the answer to this quesion.

    It seems this is an unfair
    disadvantage for POP users.
    disconnekt,
    I think your perception on this issue comes from an unwillingness to accept that POP email was never designed to take advantage of the features you want. It was conceived as a single client/server email retrieval system. It was nothing to do with "fairness". It is what it is.
    Your desire to have the ability to receive, manipulate, and send email using different devices (iphone/desktop/laptop) yet have all those changes synchronized regardless of which device is used is a valid one. Many people (including myself) feel that way. However, I doubt Apple will spend significant development resources in finding a POP solution to this because it has already been done.
    It's called IMAP accounts.
    In fact, apple has adopted this protocol in it's own email services, .mac My guess is that most development resources will likely be spent along enhancing functionality in their chosen platform, not POP
    Unfortunately, that still leaves you in your current situation. If you can accept what POP is (and what it is not), you can take action on a possible solution rather than wait/hope one will be developed for you. I would advise slowly transitioning to an IMAP account as this seems to be more suited to your needs. I had 4 POP accounts exclusively until I got tired of being limited to checking and sending all my mail from home. I didn't want to check or send mail on my laptop, because once I did, those messages would have already been "downloaded/uploaded" and thus unavailable/unseen when I checked mail on my home computer. My mail ended up scattered across 2 devices. (sound familiar?) I dreaded changing email accounts because I felt I would lose important contacts in the process. In reality, it was no more devastating than a home address change when you move (which I'm sure you've done before)
    Here's how I did it:
    1. Get an IMAP account. (.mac is one. There are many)
    2. Most POP accounts allow for auto email forwarding, enable this feature to funneled all your mail to your new IMAP account.
    3. Create a signature announcing your new email address and use this on all outgoing email.
    4. Continue this until you feel comfortable dropping your old POP account. (I have yet to delete mine and it's been almost 2 years.)
    Also note, that you could actually keep your old POP account indefinitely. Senders would just notice that all outgoing mail to you is addressed to a different domain then all incoming mail received from you.
    Make the change. Based on what you've want you'll be glad you did.

  • Can you download iOS updates without the iPhone connected to your computer?

    I'm trying to do the iOS 8 update for my phone - "Download Only" - and the pop-up window says "32 hours remaining!" Is there a way for me to continue the download without having the iPhone itself connected to iTunes?

    Probably. Didn't try that myself, but once the download is going your iPhone should not need to remain connected.
