Does the PlayBook have a magnetic case activated "holster" mode like the smartphones?
Title pretty much says it all. While I'm waiting for my PlayBook, I'm wondering about accessories. In particular the slip case from RIM.
Under features are listed:
• Precision-fit protection
• Rigid panels and flexible sides with easy access to charging or media ports
However, notably absent from that feature list is:
• RIM patented technology to sleep device while in case (from a Torch 9800 case feature description)
So does the PlayBook have a "holster-mode" at all? If so, which cases support/activate it? It's a very cool feature of the smartphones and would be conspicuous by it's absence.
Solved!
Go to Solution.
A few users in the IRC said that they could find no magnets in the device, and a teardown by iFixit revealed the same thing

does the macbook have a screen cover that makes it so the person next you cannot see what you are doing?
Hello 23435,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your iPhone was knocked out of your hand and now it displays blue and black colors on the display. It does sound like this iPhone may need to be evaluated for service. If you would like more information about this process, please refer to the attached web link below.

Have a great day,

Hi,
I will appreciate if someone can point me to some documentation as to how app-fabric client library accesses the app-fabric cluster.
What I have found so far is that the list of hosts provided in the client configuration are used as an entry point into the Cache-Cluster. By connecting to one of hosts, the client will download information about all the hosts constituting the cluster.
Since a named cache is distributed across the entire cluster, and the data can be stored on any node. How does the client decide which node it should connect to, to get the data from. Does the client have enough information to know which host has the data
or the client will connect to one of the nodes, if the node has data, it will serve it otherwise redirect the client to the node that has the data.
I also would like to know what do you say about the idea that we would like to put our cache-cluster behind a virtual ip, so that if needed, we can take down nodes or add more nodes. In fact the virtual ip will that of a load balancer, but we don't plan to
use it for load balancing purposes but the idea is that the client will have the virtual ip address and we can repoint this IP address, if we need to take out a node for maintenance reason.I'm not sure about the reason for putting the cache servers in a VIP, but one of the reasons why the cache servers should be made known to the servers is because of auto load balancing and throughput
Imagine i have 10 cache servers running on 1G ethernet links, theoretically i have 10G usable bandwidth and the clients will be able to manage and load balance if any of the cache server fails or have performance issues
Now if all these were parked behind a VIP
1. The LB now does the load balancing, which may not be optimal
2. The LB may not have 10G upstream and 10G downstream, even if it has, this is quite a waste of resource\ -
Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!
I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination. -
Suddenly most of the applications have no sound and I can't adjust the volume, and when I try with the volume button, appear the message "sound effect" and nothing append
Hello, Miryam Maria.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues with sound on applications when playing video/audio content. If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute. Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the settings for the side switch. Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device. Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

ipad air 2 there's no silent mode like the other iPads ?? the button that does it does not exist on the iPad air 2 what does replace it??
hi the older button could be set to either "force portrait mode" or "silent mode". now you can do both in the iOS control center (swipe from the bottom of the screen), so the need for a button isn't needed anymore.

I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How to reconfigure.
I ask because I have music running out of both expresses, and the one that is most distant from the time capsule (routed through the first express) regularly drops the music signal from itunes. And I am guessing the serial configuration of the routers has something to do with this, but my root problem is music dropout - any thoughts would be appreciated.If you have the the most current model of the Express devices, the default setup is to "extend" the wireless signal. In this type of setup, each Express communicates directly to the Time Capsule.
How did you setup the AirPort Express devices?
What version of the Mac operating system are you using on your MacBook? Or, do you have AirPort Utility installed on your iPad? -

Hello,
Are you talking about placing Google map in Mobile page created in Muse ? If yes you can do this by either using "Google Map Widget" or by placing " Embedded code" created at any map site.

I have changed my apple id recently and the changes have been reflected on my iPad for both the apps store and the iCloud, however, my iphone still insist on using my old apple id for the iCloud while the app store is fine. how can i correct the problem?
ThanksHi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

My iphone went blank and when I plugged it into outlet the screen shows the itunes logo and a picture of what looks like the charger. I tried to reset it and it does not respond. Can anyone help?
That screen means it has gone into recovery mode. You need to connect to a computer running iTunes by following the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 for the procedure of recovery mode connection.

I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike + Ipod sport kit. However, it looks like the kit has a 30 pin connector on the receiver and the 7th gen nano is a lightning connector. Not sure if the kit will work. What kit or what accessories do I need to utilize the Nike + ipod sport kit fuctionality in the 7th gen nano? Do I just need a separate sensor and/or a heart rate monitor? Or is there a kit available for 7th gen nanos?
Hey SeanW89,
Thanks for the question. The iPod nano 7th generation has bluetooth functionality that can connect to the Nike+ sensor. You do not need to purchase the USB kit, but rather just the sensor itself:
Nike + iPod Sensor - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA368LL/E/nike-ipod-sensor
iPod nano (7th generation): Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5470
Connect to Bluetooth accessories
You can connect your iPod nano to compatible Bluetooth headsets and other accessories, including some hands-free systems in newer cars. You can also connect to a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor. iPod nano supports A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for controlling playback on Bluetooth devices.
Note: FM radio will not play through a Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks,
Matt M.
