Emergency button on iPhone 5S (how does it work)

How does the emergency button on the iPhone 5S work. How do I set it up

Are you talking about the Emergency Call button that displays before you unlock the phone? If yes...
From the iPhone Manual (you should read this)
Emergency calls
Make an emergency call when iPhone is locked. On the Enter Passcode screen, tap Emergency Call (to dial 911 in the U.S., for example).
Important: You can use iPhone to make an emergency call in many locations, provided that cellular service is available, but you should not rely on it for emergencies. Some cellular networks may not accept an emergency call from iPhone if iPhone is not activated, if iPhone is not compatible with or configured to operate on a particular cellular network, or (when applicable) if iPhone does not have a SIM card or if the SIM card is PIN-locked.

  • Birthday reminders on iPhone & Outlook - how does it work??

    Can someone explain to me how birthday reminders work on the iPhone?
    I am using a PC w ith Outlook 2010.
    Outlook has the birthdays in the birthday field.
    For those birthdays, it seems to sync them into my calendar on the iPhone as more than 1 event, with the reminder coming at the end of the day (23:45). This means the reminder is actaully for the next day.
    When I look at this in Outlook, it shows the birthday as the NEXT day - very odd. (eg if birhtday is 6 dec, I see this on the iphone on 6th BUT in Outlook I see it on the 7 Dec & then on iPhone on 7 Dec again)
    How do I fix this - delete all birthdays in Outlook & enter them via the iPhone contact so that it re-syncs back to Oulook?
    Anyone know if this will work. Its very frustrating.
    thanks

  • Sim free iPhone 6 - How does it work

    Can someone help me understand how the sim free iPhone 6 works with all carriers?  I understand how the sim card works between GSM carriers like ATT and T-mobile, but for Sprint and Version the sim is used for the LTE data network not voice.  It servers a different purpose on a CDMA carrier vs GSM.
    So, if you purchase the unlocked iPhone 6 can you switch back and forth between Sprint and T-Mobile?  What is the process for the swap?   i.e., how does the CDMA part of the phone get programed to work on the Sprint network?.

    According to Apple you can use the unlocked phone on Sprint and Verizon.  Here is a portion from the Apply page about the unlocked iPhone
    About the Unlocked iPhone
    The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a wireless contract commitment or a carrier installment plan. You can activate and use the unlocked iPhone on the supported wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, or Sprint in the United States.
    I was also told by a Sprint rep that they will activate the unlocked iPhone 6, iPad Air 2, and the new iPad Mini purchased directly from Apple, but they would not activate a device purchased from another carrier and then unlocked. 

  • Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message?  How does one work around this?

    Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
    If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
    Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
    If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
    I hope it works
    Cheers !

  • My iPhone was stolen and I have contacted the police who are using the meid number to locate.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?

    My iPhone was stolen.  I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message.  The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it.  I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number.  How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back?  Are there other ways the theif can use it.  I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.

    Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
    The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes.  If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
    Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
    I'm sorry, but that's the way it is.

  • I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud.

    I have a Powerbook G4 (don't laugh) with iPhoto '08. How does iCloud work with my computer. I have a iPhone 4 that has iCloud. Is iCloud pushing my phone's PhotoStream to my computer if it doesn't have the latest OS? Thanks so much for whoever can help!

    iCloud will not work with your computer because iCloud requires Lion. Lion requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor or better. For you to have iCloud and PhotoStream you would need to buy a newer Mac Intel model meeting the requirements for Lion:
    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • How does this work?

    This is not a complaint, but a confused sigh of admiration. I've got an email account at the university where I teach. When I got my iBook, it took me a while, and a few conversations with IT at the school, to get this account working in the Mail application. (Since I have a Verizon DSL at home, I had to include that SMTP as the outgoing server.) Anyway, I synched this mail account (along with my AOL and .Mac accounts) onto the iPhone, and it works perfectly, both incoming and outgoing. I didn't have to change any of the settings. I thought I was computer savvy, but I can't wrap my mind around this. It seems like magic. How does it work?

    The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
    The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.

  • Corecell, how does it work?

    Hello!
    I'm being puzzled by Corecell features. MSI web pages tell me that Corecell has four different settings (Speedster, Buzz free etc.). I have installed Core Center (ver. 1.6.1.0) but there is no possibility to change into Buzz free mode.
    How can it be changed? I have found fan controls and auto-button but do I have to make settings by my self? Auto-button does not have any effect!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • What is UMA exactly? How does it work?

    What is UMA exactly? How does it work?
    I have T Mobile but am not subscribed to Hotspots at Home.  I do pay for the BB unlimited internet package.
    When I am connected to my router at home, it goes to UMA.  But other times, it just says wifi and is still connected to my router -- but NO UMA.  I haven't made any changes.
    What is this?

  • FAQ: How does GroupPix work?

    FAQ: How does Grouppix work?
    Answer:
    GroupPix is an iPhone app that automatically collects photos taken by you and friends that you invite. It lets you comment on and automatically share photos with others. Everyone participating in a GroupPix group album needs to install and use the GroupPix app. You can download it for free from the App Store. Provided everyone has a good network signal, all the photos -- either taken with the built-in GroupPix camera, or added via the camera roll -- can be shared with everyone else in the group event. Leave comments and vote for favorites to add a fun social angle to the event!
    Related: read the thread about how to invite others to use GroupPix.

    By default, WAAS preserves the DSCP marking on intercepted packets.  There is a configuration option to set/override the DSCP value at the global (device), application, and classifier levels.  Currently WAAS provides marking only.  There is no action taken by WAAS based on the DSCP value.
