Dear Apple, I need help with my 3Gs. Urgently!

Dear Apple,
I've got a bog-standard 3Gs 16GB for nearly a year now. I've enjoyed using it every single day. Until yesterday, that is. Until update 4.3.1 came along. What happened, you might ask. Well, my battery drains in 7 hours flat. And I mean, completely. Without using the phone, that is! If putting the phone in airplane mode and not touching it, it lasts the same 7 hours: before hitting the sack last night, it was charged to the brim. This morning it was on a mere 12%. Having used firmware version 4.3 since it came out without any problems, this is insane, nuts. My iPhone has been rendered "completely" useless (using it just for phone calls, gives a battery life a barely 4 hours!).
I know there's no official way to revert to a previous firmware version. So here's my appeal: Help me please, please, please.
Regards,
Robenroute

Oh dear, oh dear. Had I written "Dear Lord", instead of "Dear Apple", would you have said the good Lord isn't reading these forums?
Yes, if you also said you thought the "Lord" followed the forum, as you repeatedly (and incorrectly) said about Apple following it. What sense does it make when you clearly were addressing Apple in your first post, defended that by claiming Apple is reading your post, and now say you weren't expecting a response from them. You're talking in circles.
Don't you understand I'm at the end of my wits? My iPhone has just been rendered practically useless...
Yet you don't want to do anything about it except whine. Several troubleshooting steps were suggested to you, and it remains unclear what you've actually done except a futile attempt to downgrade to 4.3. You were also advised of the liklihood of hardware failure if restoring as new didn't help. Your last step is to get it replaced.

Need help with XML delay URGENT!!!

Hi i need help making a flash movie to load everything from
xml. It has to load text, images and flv, but, it has to load them
and end them at the time said in the xml. So flash loads and
unloade the text or image or video at the time specified in the
XML! PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS DONE TODAY!!!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Contact me by msn [email protected] or send mail or
reply here!!

It was probably a little unclear initially (no offence
intended ) whether your problem was with getting the data from XML
or with the sequencing aspect. I assume that its the sequencing
aspect based on your recent reply.
So if it was me I would parse the loaded info into Date
objects for the load and remove times and have this information
handled by some sort of sequencing code.
At its simplest, you could compare the xml-derived date/times
for load/unload with the current system date/time and use a
setInterval function to initiate the load after the calculated
difference in milliseconds has passed. Similar for the removeclip
timing.

Need help with new 3GS mail problems

I have a new 3GS v.4.1 about a week now, just getting around to setting up the mail. I synced through Itunes, checked the setting's. I can send email but not recieve. Can anyone help?

Any error message provided when the account is checked for new messages?
Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Mail Accounts followed by selecting Apply. Follow this by deleting and manually recreating the account on your iPhone. If this is successful, do not reselect Sync Mail Accounts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences or you will be right back where you started.

Novice apple user needs help with iCloud

Can anyone help?
I have uploaded iCloud app onto my mac and iPad 2 but I don't think it is working correctly as I don't seem to be able to access any documents, photo's etc via the cloud.
The app seems to be set up correctly on both devices but something is not quite right.
When in my mac I goto system settings and select iCloud icon and then click on the question mark in the bottom left hand corner and I get the following message
Content not available because your computer is not connected to the Internet.
Well I know it is as I can view webpages on both iPad 2 and mac.
Any suggestions?

its not a specific app.
currently, document syncing only works with iOS iWork. Open settings on the ipad and scroll down to the iwork app and turn iCloud on.
Photo syncing is called photo stream. open settings on ipad and click photos and turn photostream on. on mac open iphoto and click photostream

New Apple User needs help with Canon MX870

I recently bought this printer but I can't figure out how to keep it hooked up to the wireless network at all times. RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE SET UP PROCESS every time on the printer to connect it to the network. This defeats the purpose, it would be much easier to just hook a usb cable up to it so i can just click and print? Surely I'm missing something, can you please help me set this thing up right so I don't have to go through that whole process every time to get on wireless. I want to be able to turn on my computer and print something without any set up required. Please help!

Jeff I would recommend contacting AppleCare, the number in the US is 800-275-2273. Also I would also recommend following Apple's suggestion of leaving the computer on 24/7 and letting it sleep when not being used. You can find this information in your owners manual.

i recently got my iphone and my mom has one when i hooked mine up to the computer over the weekend it uploded all my moms contacts how can we go about syncing our phones without it uploading eachothers contacts on both phones.
On my PC I have my iPhone and my girlfriends iPod. The easiest way is when you load up iTunes, hold down the SHIFT key, you will get a window appearing asking you if you want to create a library or choose one. I assume you and your mom have separate libraries?
If so then you need to locate your library by clicking on the CHOOSE LIBRARY tab and going to its location, if you are logged into Windows on your user account the library is usually in USERNAME (whatever you are called) MUSIC/iTunes, in there you will see a file called iTunes Library.itl this is what you need to choose.
Now when you have done the above, anything you add on to your iPhone will be totally separate to your moms and vice versa. Just remember that when your mom connects her iPhone that she would need to choose her library file so as to not alter your library file. If your mom is logged in on her user account then this will be in the same folder has I have described above.
When I got my iPhone I made a folder up in MUSIC/iTunes called MY IPHONE, I then loaded up iTunes and held the SHIFT key down and created a library and chose to store it in the folder called MY IPHONE, now anything I add or alter in iTunes does not alter in anyway on my girlfriends iPod.
Here is the little window you should see when you hold down the SHIFT key when iTunes loads:

Need help with dates please-urgent

Hi folks, please help me with this if you can.
I run a weekly job, and need to have my java code create and use 2 dates to capture data for the whole week.
begin_date mm/dd/yyyy (String) to be 7 days prior to current date
end_date mm/dd/yyyy (String) to be the currecnt date

Need help with page display URGENTLY!!!

Hey,
I'm trying to start up my new iPod nano. I've got the songs for it, but the page won't display all the way. Where it says the licence of agreement it won't show the o.k. button and before that it doesn't say the register button either. It doesn't do this on my internet. Or on anything else. So now I can't put anything on my iPod because I can't get it started up.
Please help! I really need to put some songs on my new iPod!!!!
Please and thank you.

Try increasing the resolution of your computer's screen (right-click on the desktop -> Properties - Settings; you want 1024x768 or higher) and perhaps then you'll be able to see all the buttons and controls in iTunes.

HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5

Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused. I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side.
Good news,, I dont need a super giant system, I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to.. So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with. So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there. I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW? WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
cs6:
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
1280x900 display
7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
OpenGL 2.0–capable system
DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
Any responses would be great. I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine. They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine. Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later. I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive. It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives. Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS. There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also. There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
Notes on all the current iMacs
iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives. If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X. And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two). There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks. If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it. You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

Apps downloaded with an Apple ID are forever tied to that Apple ID and will always require it to update.
The only way around this is to delete the apps that require the other Apple ID and download them again with yours.
Or simply log out of iTunes & App stores then log in with updated AppleID.

Dear Apple, I need help with my 3Gs. Urgently!
