Do I still need to unjailbreak my phone before going to the store?

I know that recently jailbreaking phones became legal...but that doesn't mean Apple condones it.
I'm sending mine out to the headquarters to get the screen replaced. Do I need to restore my phone or should I be okay? I know before they wouldn't even TOUCH a phone that was jailbroken.

Hacking an iPhone for any reason is against Apple's license agreement for the iPhone, is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions, and voids the warranty.
None of this will change if you choose to hack your iPhone.
Jailbreaking is considered "Fair Use" by our government and this is the one and only meaningful sense in which it is legal. It is legal, period. Any discussion of license agreements has nothing to do with the legality of jailbreaking.
Apple can have their own terms of use/license agreement and it can (and does) go beyond what the government will allow/disallow. But you risk no civil or criminal penalties for jailbreaking.
And... as already discussed, jailbreaking is not a physical act, not permanent, and you can unjailbreak at any time and Apple would be clueless.
So do that.

How do I add insurance to my phone without going into the store?

A few months ago I took the insurance off of my iPhone to save some money. Now that this isn't an issue anymore I would like to put it back on in my verizon and I can't find a place to do so. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I'm sure you have gotten your answer by now, but incase you haven't and for others...
Unfortunately, to add insurance they only allow you 30 days from purchase of a new phone/account or phone upgrade.
Along with the fact that they only will do 2 phone claims in a calendar year and won't allow you to add the service again after the year if over.
Personally, I feel it's unfair! If we pay for TEC (insurance coverage), then we should be allowed to do more phone claims, even if it means we pay monthly for TEC after the initial 2 or be allowed to add the service again after the calendar year with no additional charges.

Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

Hi. Bought recently iphone5 from singapore. but the one who sold us the phone has set restriction. now i cannot download any apps from my itunes. I dont know the restriction code so i think i need to reset my phone. does resetting remove the unlock?

You need to restore it with iTunes or wipe it from the phone itself... Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Either of these will create a factory fresh phone, thus removing the restrictions. Note that ALL user data will be wiped.

To restore from an iCloud backup you have to erase the phone and start over. To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup assistant again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. There is no other way to do this.
Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this is likely to take some time to finish.

I'm missing a lot of my pictures on my phone after going to the cloud. You cab see that the were there but it's just a grey tile now. When I click on it it just spins loading. Any help would be appreciated.

I, on the other hand, had no brightness issues on the 4S after upgrading to iOS 6, and no change in (good) battery life. If could be something else, an app or background process that is less efficient with iOS 6? Could be anything.

HT201272 Hi, i need to re-download my audi-books but the store still ask me to buy it again?

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with re downloding my audi-books? can someone help?
Aslo, one of the downloaded audi books didnt work with me?
can some recommend an advice?
thanks,

Audiobooks are a one-time only download from the store, they won't show in the Purchased links for redownloading. If you don't have them on your computer's iTunes library, nor on your backup of your downloads, then for those that are still in your country's store you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If you had a problem with downloading one when you bought it then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via the above contact link.

Why do I need to replace my Phone if everyone has the same problem?

I have an Iphone 4S and just like A LOT of people the IOS 7 update broke my phone. I asked the support what to do and all they said was replace my phone for $199, this phone was PERFECTLY FINE before the update, they told me "oh, your wifi chip must have broken during the update" but that seems like quite a coinsadence if it happened to tons of people for the same reason, I have tried EVERYTHING. reset the network settings, reset the network settings with airplane mode on, hard reset the entire phone, switched wifi on and off (whenit is'nt greyed out), turned airplane mode on and off and I even tried the freezer trick and nothing worked, I wanna fix this phone because it is my first phone, I did not own it, it is a 2 year old phone so its warranty is out and yet it is a great running phone besides the fact that (like alot of other people) the wifi broke during the update somehow. I want to fix this phone, if I have to spend $200 then im not buying an apple phone.
Apple should find a way to fix this without giving the excuse, "oh, I guess the wifi chip broke during the update for (possible) thousands of people."

It also did not happen to hundreds of other people and therefore did not unmask a problem on hundreds of phones. A Wi-Fi chip breaks not because of an iOS update but because a problem with its hardware has developed. All those seemingly innocuous drops and spills will at some time, sooner or later, cause a problem. You may even console yourself with the knowledge that you never dropped your phone but can you say the same for the people you loaned it to (if only briefly) and/or whilst it was out of your sight? Another potential cause is simply component failure. Electronic devices composed of many other electrical components can and do fail and it's naive to assume devices such as these don't have the potential to fail or not as the case may be.

I need to file a compliant to Corporate since the store is no help!

First of all I want to say that I am HIGHLY disappointed and upset with the service I received from your Fair Oaks, VA Store. I been going to this location for years and I haven't ever had an issue until I purchased a new phone with your mobile department.
11/12/14 I went in because my device broke, I wasn't sure weather to buy a new one or send my broken one in. I ended up buying a new LG G3 from Sprint. I am doing to Easy Pay through them so we are talking about $500+ on a phone. I liked the phone very much.
12/01/14 in the morning the phone just completely died on me. The phone wouldn't charge, I tired taking the battery out and leave it out later I put it back in. I would hold the power button to see if it would turn on but nothing happened. Completely crashed on me. The phone was charged so I knew it wasn't a dead battery.
12/02/14 I went in to the location and I was helped by a gentlemen at the mobile department. While he was writing on some boxes and trying to help me at the same time (because that shows full, undivided attention to the customer) I had explained my situation to him and asked him if I can get a new device since the phone completely died. His response right of the back "There is nothing I can do because it's out of the 15 days return policy." He also advise I can check with Sprint but I didn't buy the phone with them which I didn't understand how that would help. Since the gentlemen already said there is nothing that can be done for me and I need to submit it to Geek Squad since I have insurance with them. So now I need to pay $500+ on a REFURBISHED phone when it was only few days out of the 15 day mark.
12/04-05/14 I spoke with the department manager figuring maybe there is something she can do since she is the manager but that was a dead end conversation too. She told me there is nothing she can do and I need to submit it to Geek Squad and there should be no deductible. I also called LG directly and they advised to speak with Best Buy, once again, since I bought the phone there and Geek Squad can only provide refurbished phones. The department manager also loved saying very smart remarks to top everything off.
I find it very ridiculous that there NOTHING that a big company as Best Buy, can't do anything for their customer since I was given a defective device from that location.
12/08/14 I submitted a claim since I am not getting any help, I also called them and they told me that they only send out refurbished phones even though it was less then 30 days of my purchase. They also told me that I need to pay and ADDITIONAL $150.00 so I can get the replacement. But that is not what your department manager said, she said I don't have to pay anything since its a manufature issue but I do. So now I have to pay $600+ on a refurbished phone.
There is always something that can be done its just up to the person weather they want to do it or not. All I wanted was to get provided a new phone. I didn't want to exchange it or get my money back. I was with out a phone for several weeks because of this and I need my phone since its my point of contact. I will not be coming back to that location since the employees are very quick just to push their customers out the door and do not want to do anything to help. Seems that "There is nothing I can do." is a faster of a response then actually trying to do something for your customer. I worked in retail and there is nothing more frustrating and aggravating to get from an employee "There is nothing I can do." That is definitely not customer service. Neither of your employees took their time to help in anyway. I also tried emailing this to the stores contact listed on the website but one email bounced and the other I recevied no word. And sadly I still have the broken phone.

Hi AReyes42,
Given you had just purchased this phone 20 days before it became defective, I of course can understand you being upset by the described experience. I honestly wish the representatives you spoke to had been clearer in their advice to you.
Our return or exchange period for contract based phones is 14 days from the date of purchase. After that timeframe has past any defects or damage would need to be addressed by any coverage on the phone. Your phone has two types of coverage. It has its manufacturer’s warranty and the Geek Squad Protection (GSP) plan.
The manufacturer’s warranty should cover any defects within the first year of owning the phone; while your GSP would cover beyond that time, and any covered damage within the first year. Since you are claiming the unit is defective it should be covered by LG’s warranty, and you will need to work with them to get the phone repaired or replaced.
We could request a refurbished replacement under your GSP, but per the terms of your GSP you would be charged a service fee, and for a smartphone the service fee is $150. Since LG should not be charging to repair or replace your phone, under their warranty, I once again highly recommend you work with them towards getting this resolved.
I have filed a formal complaint on your behalf, and if you do have any questions for me please post back to this thread.
Thanks for posting,

DVD is dark: do I need to grade in PP before going to Encore? How?

Excuse me if this is an obvious question. Searches didn't show up anything, and I could not find an FAQ for this Forum. The Encore docs seem to say nothing about this.
I'm trying to make a DVD from source material originating with a Canon XF-300 and Vixia cameras. The material looks ok in PP CS6, and as rendered as an MP4 file, with flesh tones at about 70 IRE. As is common, the performance stage is not exceptionally well lit, so is on the dark side, but shadow detail is still there.
I generate my DVD by importing the PP sequences into Encore. It appears too dark on my LCD TV which I am testing on. Blacks are crushed.
I thought that this seems like an RGB to Rec709 issue. I tried adding a levels adjustment layer in PP, setting ouput black to 16 and white to 235. (My DVD player could play the PP-exported .m4v on a USB stick.) That's an improvement, even if it's not exceptional.
I've read a lot on the web and watched some videos, but not seen anything about this.
Must I grade for a DVD outputin PP before staring Encore? If that is required, why is it not mentioned anywhere in the docs?
If I need to do a pre-Encore adjustment, what is the best way? Do I need to worry about gamma too? (I understand that sRGB and Rec709 are close.)
Or something else?
I'm very used to working with color profiles in still photography, having used Photoshop for years and printed fine art photos. I'm using a calibrated monitor (but I understand PP does not use monitor profiles?) The profile complexity in video drives me nuts. The more I read, the less certain I am.
Thanks for any pointers to web resources I should follow, and for setting me in the right direction!

Video is not stills. Two completely different things. Like trying to compare playing trumpet and clarinet. The only thing you can carry from one to the other is your ability to read sheet music. Or in this case, your ability to read light. None of the rest translates well.
First, unless you preview your work on a calibrated production monitor (one that can show you what your vid. looks like in the Rec.709 space) then you are working blind. There are other good reasons to use a production monitor instead of a computer monitor. One is a waveform monitor, which will likely help you a great deal (you can even use the one in PPro, which will help but you won't be able to see exactly what's going on, because it won't work while you are playing the video in PPro, and because you won't see the exact colors, black and white points, and contrast that you should). Another is a vector scope. Another is an RGB parade. All highly useful tools in color correction and color grading, and all the more useful if you can watch them while the video plays.
Second, as Mr. Jones suggests, do not send an MP4 to Encore for a DVD. Send only MPEG2-DVD for making DVDs. What you've done is like recompressing a JPEG in still photography. Some would say it's worse in video, IDK.
Third, get yourself a copy of Van Hurkman's The Color Correction Handbook. Read it. Learn it. Use it. It will make this part of your life so much better.

I need to Ping an application before going to load

Hi All,
I need to ping an application to check whether it is working or not.
Basically my requirement is I am loading a Home page of application A which includes application B as a part of the page. Before going to load the application B in the Home page i need to ping the application to check whether it is working or not. If it is not working i need to disable that.
Is there any thing to ping the particular port or something else?
Please advise me on this.
Thanks in advance
Varma.

Well...
If aplication B is a Server, you can make a connection using java.net.Socket to verify if it is running before using it from aplication A.

So how many phones do you think the Stores will have?

Like the topic says, how many phones do you expect each store to have, roughly?
I'm thinking *maybe* 30...
I hope more but.. obviously I'm not holding my breath against anything best buy believes in, ha.

I was told from one of the employees today that the East Side was Best Buy was getting "about 100" iPhones, so they expected to get about the same.
I was also told that they were going to get constant shipments throughout the week to fill the preorders, and also that since I got the confirmation email I don't have to wait in line... which is nice.

My phone is going through the motions of syncing but doesnt sync

Hello, Just bought a new computer and after installing drivers, itunes, outlook etc, my i phone will not sync with outlook, It did a partial sync the first time but only carried over some appt.s from PC to phone. I have reset, re-clicked the catagories for syncing, double checked outlook for the correct data file. I can see everything but even if i make changes to calendar it will not be noticed when i re-sync. It goes through the motions with no erros but makes no changes. Help?

Could be your anti virus software or the Firewall is preventing the sync process to finish.

Do I still need to sync my phone to remove apps and other content

I used to have to synch my iPhone with iTunes on my computer to remove apps and things like podcasts from my phone so they did not up storage space. Is this still true? I seldom use my computer and just leave iTunes open for household sharing.
