Download iOS 5.0.1 major flaw!

Hi, why after 2 attempts of trying to download 5.0.1 from I tunes (aprox. 1.5gb wasted) I see on the iPhone that it is only 55.5 mb, but ITunes it's 812mb!!!!!!! I just lost a lot of my data plan!!!!! And to top it off, I don't have wifi so I can't just use my phone. This it the stupidest thing I have ever herd of!!!!! Soo not impressed Apple!!!!!! 55.5 mb but you NEED WiFi, really :@

When downloading and installing the update direct with the iPhone, it is an incremental update/install only.
When downloading and installing the update with iTunes, it is not an incremental update over the existing.
And yes, you need to be connected to an available wi-fi network to download the update. If not, the habitual whiners of the world with a limited data plan would come unglued whining about how the incremental update used so much of their unlimited data plan, and those doing the same by accident or on purpose when roaming internationally would have a big bill for the download.

HT1766 So I downloaded iOS 7 & recieved majority of my pics from my back up, it's been 2 weeks I'm connected to wifi & my photos still say downloading but they're not downloading what should I do?

I took it off WiFi and complained on their Facebook page. I think their
salespeople telling folks to always stay on WiFi is their way of making
money! Take your phones OFF of WiFi, put Task Killer Advanced (google play
store - FREE) on your phone and hit that repeatedly during the day. It
will shut down the junk running in the background that loves to nom on your
data. The other thing I do is to constantly dump cached data from my
phone. We did all three of these things and we have only burned up .7 of
our 3GB limit since June 1st! Not even a whole GB in 19 days! Also,
remove all updates from every app that your phone came with (bloatware)
every so often. And shut the phone down every night after you run the task
killer and empty your data cache. Somewhere along the line I will learn how
to completely uninstall that darned bloatware and I will pass it on!
Let me know if this makes a difference for you!

Since downloading iOS 5 I'm having major issues connecting to wifi, same problem with my iPhone 4. help?

Ever since downloading iOS 5 yesterday i keep losing wifi connection on my iPad 2. When it's working the wifi holds for about a minute and then it goes again. I didn't have any problem before the download. Any suggestions would be gratefully received, thanks

I haven't gotten a new sim card because the problem has been presenting itself in various cards not only mine. So far, all I've done is reset my network settings.
Last night, I turned off the 3G tab and it had all the signal bars. Today, I did the network reset and it's working apparently. But like I said before, previously the bars just disappear and the iphone only has the 3G activated.

Major flaws of Windows Phone 8

Leuven, UTC+1, Nokia Lumia 920, Amber + GDR3.
I have been a consumer and professional iPhone user for many years and still do with a 4S containing about 200 apps. However in April 2013 I decided to try an alternative OS and bought the Nokia Lumia 920 (GDR 3 in the meantime) which I now have been using for about 8 months together with my iPhone. Thus I can compare both builts and OS's.
I should like to summarize my conclusions about the OS and the Lumia as follows after using the phone quite intensively and installing more than 150 apps:
The design is one of the best and most original I have seen.
The hardware is extremely shock resistant (it fell one day from 3m high on cobble stones!) and allows wireless charging, unlike the competition.
Nokia does a great job in offering own apps with regular updates however some major apps are still missing : such as Flipboard and others. Also apps on WP8 are missing a lot of features of same apps on IOS. Trust this will be a matter of time..
The display is a delight to work with, definitely white on black with gloves.
WP8 overall and live tiles are a refreshing element compared to IOS and Android.( definetely when you pin Google contacts on your home screen!)
However although I love the device and might even buy an upgrade to Lumia 1020 at a later stage, since I love the above par camera and related apps, I am getting seriously frustrated by a lot of unacceptable flaws in the present state of the OS which I feel are completely unacceptable and a shame for Microsoft.
Processor speed is below par or the OS is not optimizing it and as a result starting up apps and browsing photo's takes to long compared to GS4 and iPhone 4/5S. Resuming, loading.....
Downloading of mail attachments takes to long and one can not see the progress !
One has to repeat clicking for downloading pictures in mails.
No sound confirming sending of mails !
The built-in Calendar app is below par and has a major flaw since the change to Caldav : when adding attendees to an appointment the calendar does not sync anymore with the Google calendar which is still way better than the outlook.com calendar who is missing many features which I am using in Google. (colors, more details, locations, etc..) No solution found yet even after trying 4 alternative Calendar apps !
Another problem which I solved by roaming the internet is the fact that when using automatic date+time setting the appointments in the Google calendar showed up one hour earlier due to a bug in the Caldav procedure of Microsoft which ignores the DST. I solved it by using West Central African UTC +1 timezone which does not use DST !!
It is impossible to add photos to the outlook persons tab in outook.com which forces me to continue to use the Google contacts syncing.
No notification or control center..
Obviously professional users won't have to suffer a big part of these bugs since using Exchange servers, Outlook and Office 365, but the millions of consumers in the street will suffer the same frustrations, definitely if they find out that their new Outlook account is not on par with Gmail and IOS.
Steve, do me a favor before you leave, solve these problems if you want WP8 to conquer the world of smartphones.
Cheers

Is there a major flaw with Iphoto in regards to organizing and backing up?

Is there a major flaw with Iphoto in regards to organizing and backing up? And how should I proceed??
Here is my story. I have moved roughly 15,000 photos from 7 computers (4 PCs and 3 Macs - basically everyone's computer in the family) onto one external hard drive. The photos were taken by many different digital cameras, are sparsely labeled, and have the most random names and folders. There are a LOT of duplicates. MY MISSION - label and back them up.
The way I normally deal with photos/DATA is this: I plug my camera into my Mac and immediately think about organizing and backing them up. With "Preview" I look at photos (and decide which one I like), create a folder called "where-ever I took these photos" and drag them into that folder. The problem with Iphoto is that you have no ability to control folders, unlike many other applications.
For example, in Itunes you can rename an artist, or even an album, and it will automatically appear in an updated folder. If you alter a photo in Photoshop, it makes you save it is a new file. In Iphoto you cannot make the same "root level" changes without making duplicates. From what I understand, you can place photos into an Album and then export that album (which makes duplicates). Iphoto will rename each duplicate file and then place it in the correct folder. The problem here is I have no idea where the original is to delete it.
Basically I want to create folders called "Trip to Italy 2003" or "Rachel's Wedding" and place all the photos associated with that event in those folders. The problem I run into is that I have a bunch of duplicates. I have heard of a program called Duplicate Annihilator which has gotten favorable reviews. If I import them into Iphoto all the photos are placed in random named folders. I say random because some of the photos were taken on cameras that didn't have the date set correctly. Hence some of my photos will appear in a labyrinth of folders called "Modified / 2001 / Roll 17 / DCM482 / Image25874654.jpg"
I am totally willing to wipe my Iphoto library clean and start again if there is a way to organize the photos as described above. Eventually I will take these folders and save them on a data DVD.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

You do not need to delve into the folders within the iPhoto Library via the finder to access any photo. That is all done within iPhoto itself. If you need a photo for use outside of iPhoto read Terence Devlin's treatise on file access. iPhoto is a DAM application - Digital Asset Management, not a folder manager. There's a big difference. You can use keywords, album and smart albums to organize your photos.
If you still have the original files you might consider what I do. I rename each file with the date it was taken using the international date format: YYYY-MM-DD-001.jpg. You can download the demo version ofMedia Expression and automatically rename each folder of photos with the EXIF date and a sequential number. This makes chronological searching and sorting much easier both in iPhoto and the Finder.
If you want to not only manage the photos but the folders then Expression Media will let you do both. It will let you rename files after being imported into a catalog, move them between folders, add ITPC metadata to the files, create virtual albums called Supplemental categories, and much, much more. I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, slideshows, calendars, etc.

When I downloaded iOS 7 my iTunes album art automatically changed for me. Loved it. When I downloaded iOS 8 update it went back to the original artwork. How do I get it back like iOS 7??

Okay, I'm going to try and make as much sense as I possibly can without confusing people. I hope someone can help! So when I downloaded the iOS 7 update one 'major' change I noticed was that my album art in iTunes had automatically changed for me. It was really cool, more up-to-date, and overall enjoyed how it looked. Made it look a lot neater than my own album art I had put on there. Now, when I downloaded the new iOS 8 update I notice that all my album art when back to its original picture which I had put on there. How do I get it back to where it was when I downloaded the iOS 7 Update?? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I know this isn't the most "dying for help" question, but I'm curious anyways to why it has changed. Thanks!

Sorry no backup - no pictures.
Yes phone will automatically backup to icloud when on wifi and phone is charge, but your phone storage was full so it stop backing up.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

I have an iphone 4S model with IOS 7.1.2. Do I need to download IOS v8.0?

I have an iphone 4S model with IOS 7.1.2. Do I need to download IOS v8.0?

Craig,
Your analogy is excellent! Perfectly captures the opinion I have heard from many. The reason that I have encouraged you to update is because really I, personally, have never experienced an issue with an update, and neither has my signifiant other. Call us lucky! I will not lie to you and say that that means that all updates are going to flawless -- far from it. Many people, as you described, find themselves in the exact situation described by your analogy, and they take to the internet to describe and outline these problems. It is unfortunate that iOS 8 has been such a buggy release for so many, and disheartening that Apple has not yet found a solution for some of these major bugs.
I do ask you to remember though that most of what you find when looking for opinions on iOS 8 will be people having problems with their device -- those whose update went through perfectly have no reason to question it, and thus it can make it seem like everyone writing on iOS 8 is having a problem. There is most definitely a large amount of people with problems after the update, but most likely an equally large amount of people who did not have problems and simply didn't post about it.
My significant other is not a heavy user. She uses her phone an average amount, but she most definitely does not rely on it as much as you have outlined above. I do not want to deceive you into thinking that just because she had no problems that means that you will not encounter any either. To answer your question, she updated about a week after each release of iOS 8 (iOS 8.1, iOS 8.1.2, etc.)
I also do not want you to think that I am a completely neutral party either. I am a fan of Apple, I will admit to that, but trust that I try to speak from as unbiased a position as I possibly can.
As far as your concerns with Apple go, I hear you. Many people would agree with you. Apple markets itself with the concept of flawlessly functioning devices, and that means that for some, when issues do occur, it is even more than just a bug because they bought the device on the promise of it flawlessly functioning. Yes, the functioning factor is part of the reason behind the higher prices of Apple products, but remember you also get a one year hardware warranty and over the phone assistance, access to the Apple Store and Genius Bar (both of which have excellent customer service, a fact that is widely agreed upon), as well as features such as iCloud storage. Widespread bugs like the ones that have occurred with iOS 8 are uncharacteristic of Apple, but in the end they will make mistakes, it is how they fix them that characterizes the company.
From everything that you have stated, here is my solution for you: If your phone works right now, it works. It will continue to work if you do not update, that is guaranteed. What is not guaranteed is that if you update, the phone will function even better. Both you and I are aware that iOS 8 has caused just as many issues as it has resolved -- updating here is a gamble, if you rely on your phone as much as I am thinking you do, it is probably better to take the safer route that guarantees the phone will work. Keep in mind, iOS 8.2 is right around the corner. More bug fixes may be introduced, and that may be a better time to update.
You bring up some excellent points. In the end, this decision is all up to you. I'm just a guy on the internet with some strong opinions!
Nick.

Dreamweaver cs5 MAJOR flaw

Dreamweaver cs5 has a major flaw
When 'related files' is turned on (a feature we are paying for!) and a webpage has code similar to the following in the header
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
At first launch after quitting, it takes dreamweaver between 1 and 2 minutes or more to open one web page.
This is EXTREMELY annoying and unacceptable for software which costs so much money.
Many designers use jquery now and may of us link directly to the latest file or jquery library.
What's the point in having a related files facility if we have to turn it off in order to use Dreamweaver with jquery or any other external files!!!!!?
Adobe?

If you download a copy of the JQuery file and put it in the local site that should stop that issue.
What operating system are you using?
Where are your local files kept (what folders)?

Anyone download ios 7.0 on their 4s yet? any issues?

anyone download ios 7.0 on their 4s yet? any issues?

I have had major issues since the 7.0.4 update!!!!! No issues with any of the others previously. I have a 4s and not sure if it is related to the model, but since upgrading I cannot keep my phone connected to any wifi, cannot upload photos from phone to CPU and worst of all, CANNOT use it as a phone since any voice recognition no longer works!!! I can hear everyone just fine, but no one can hear me!! I cannot use Siri because it doesn't even recognize a sound at all, cannot use speech to text function, etc. I know it is not a hardware issue since it still links up with my car with the bluetooth function, but if it were a hardware issue then it would only effect the phone and I would still be able to use the phone through my car phone system. I cannot even speak using my car phone link! I am so beyond frustrated with this crap that I am about to give up on Apple products all together and switch to the Samsung Galaxy S4! I have used Apple products exclusively for years and this has just destroyed all of the good fuzzies I had about their products. Not only that, but I attempted to use the support 'chat' function on this site to speak with a specialist and the site has issues too! It won't recognize that I am typing into the name blocks, so therefore, I cannot chat for help! Aghhhhh! I am so over this company! And before it is mentioned, YES I have tried the wipe and restore (which took a ridiculously long time and accomplished nothing!). TERRIBLE PRODUCT!

I downloaded a book to my Ipad and when I went to sync with Itunes on my PC- it removed the book from my Ipad, but shows it on the PC. I have it "checked" to be synced but it still does not show up on my Ipad? This also happened after I downloaded IOS 5

I downloaded a book on my Ipad and after syncing to my PC, it was dropped from the Ipad, but shows up on my PC? I have it "checked" to be synced but it will not come back onto my Ipad. This is also after I downloaded IOS 5.1 for the Ipad. Does anyone know why it would be dropped from the Ipad?

Sometimes simply restarting your iTunes, the computer and the iPad is all that it takes to correct an issue like this so try that. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, and restart the iPad. Then try the sync again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Just downloaded IOS 6 and it disabled my favorite game, Bubblets Tllt. Restarted and no luck. Tried to download new app and it is gone. Tried to download from website off Safari and message it is no longer sold in the US. Please help. Apple owes me for the cost of this app. Plus Google Maps is infinitely better and that the download kicking it off makes me want to buy an android. And I am not alone is resenting this meddling in my right to keep what I originally purchased. What are they thinking?

hi Bern
Firstly welcome to Crowd Support
The Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) Credit Management code states that Telstra must perform s credit assessment when a customer is applying to us for credit.
For our Credit Assessments to be passed there are many factors of information considered to determine if the Credit Assessment is satisfied.
There are many reasons why a Credit application may be declined, and one of the most common is due to the new Customer not having any previous history with Telstra.
While this may be frustrating for you, in the circumstance of a Mobile Phone contract being involved, we really do need to be sure that we have the correct billing information, up to date contact details and also viability to pay bills on time.
There is a process where this decline decision can be disputed, and I would be more than happy to lodge this dispute for you if you could provide me with some information.
I will send you a PM so that we can work together offline to lodge this dispute.

My iPhone won't allow me to download IOS 5

When I download IOS 5, a message appears and says, iPhone will not take IOS 5. When I try to update my apps, it says that the apps are not compatible on this devise...?

If you're already running iOS 5.1.1 that is the most current version. As such, no issue exists.

Hi I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't open or work? Any ideas as to why? thanks.

Hi, I am just after downloading ios 5 to my iphone but now the apps on my phone won't work, even the free ones. Have tried deleting and reinstalling but it asks for credit card details even for the free apps. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks

If it is asking for account details then it might just need you to confirm your account before it lets you proceed. Maybe the terms and conditions changed since last time or something like that. Try signing into your Apple account in iTunes on a computer first to check that. Then restart the phone and try again.
