I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one. it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I have problem with my iphone 4s my battery is not keeping charge. how can I get help with this one? it is less than a year that I purchased this cell.

I would like to know the answer to that one. I realized this was happening just after upgradeing my iOS to 6. Then when I looked up my purchase date, I was about 5 days past my one year warranty. So I'm dead in the water. Apple will replace the battery, but it will be about $80+. I took it to the Apple store, and they checked a bunch of stuff, but said that it seemed ok. I'm debating getting a battery for a more reasonable price off of ebay. But if it's the iOS thats draining the battery, then I'm not going to be able to help it. I wish I knew a better way to tell if its the battery, the phone, or the iOS.

Hi Christoph and WarriorAnt,
Thank you both for the replies.
I don't know anything about GarageBand because I've never used it. I've never used any music software before, (other than iTunes, Ha!)
I don't have GarageBand on my Mac because it wasn't stock on the old Powerbook G4, so I would have to buy it. I'm happy to do that if I can figure out that it does what I want ... but I'm overwhelmed by the info at Apple's site. Too much for a beginner like me. Even the wikipedia.com entry for GB uses too many terms I don't know, so I'm easily lost.
I just want to be able to set up drum loops and play along with them. The main thing is that I'm able to use third party loops. There are so many really amazing loop products out there ... jungle drums, acoustic jazz drums, lounge, etc. I don't want to get caught up in anything proprietary (like Band-In-A-Box) because the selection is limited. I'm sure GarageBands loops are great, but I want access to all these other third party loops as well ... loops that were not specifically made for GarageBand.
Will GarageBand let me drop in any and all drum loops from these other companies?
And does GarageBand work like a basic sequencer, where I can program up an intro, X number of measures of a loop, then a turnaround, then a variation loop, then an ending, etc?
I know the high-end stuff like Native Instruments Kontakt does this, but unfortunately it also does a kazillion other professional-level things I will never need and don't want to pay for (and which make the software more complex and daunting).
Thank you again, both of you, for responding and helping me with this project.
Just a little more advice on those two questions would really go a long way.

How do I get started with screen sharing?

There are dozens of articles on the web and posts here talking about what's new with screen sharing in Lion, but for the life of me I can't find anything that tells somebody completely new to screen sharing how to get started. If I want to do screen sharing with a friend (over the Internet, not a LAN), what exactly do we have to do to get started?
Sorry for a noob question, but everything I see assumes you're already completely familiar with it and just want to see Lion tweaks.

ok so go to your system preferences on your MAC > go to sharing > click the screen sharing option on> next go to the add users section right below on the right and you add your friend whom you want to share with. You have to select a password for this person. When you get this done you will see a
Other users can access your computer's screen at:
and you will have an address there with some numbers. give this to your friend whom you want to see your screen, they have to post this in their web-browser, and that is how you remotely screen share. This is if you all are not on the same network. Also if you want to share his/her screen they will have to do these steps for you.

How do I get started with the Photography Subscription?

I recently signed up for the Photography subscription (incl. LR5) via telephone. Payment has been cleared. During the order, the operator updated my email address to a new address I now prefer. The order doesn't show up in My Orders, and only a free subscription of Creative Cloud shows up in My Subscriptions. However, I can't sign in with the new email address, which I think is not allowing me to download PS or LR which is what I purchased. How do I get this resolved?

How do I get started with iphoto buddy?

I've installed iphoto buddy and created a new library called "Family". How do I get photos of my family into the new library?

You don't need iPhoto Buddy unless you're using iPhoto 5 (from 2005) or earlier.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' will do the same job.
To get photos into a new Library just import them from the Finder like you always do.

How do i get started with my new ipad2

How do I get started with a home page most similar to old one?

I do not want the new Firefox to complicate my life. I want the new version to simulate the old version as closely as possible. And when the dust has settled I want to know how to simply start up and get to work.

Hi burrsage,
I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to, but I'll take a stab at it! First, I'd suggest that you try [[Updating Firefox]]. As of writing this, 10.2 is the current latest version.
If you are referring to the look and feel of Firefox itself, you should take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article with common questions after upgrading]. It will show you what's changed and how you can simulate the old experience.
If you are specifically talking abut your home page, you should try changing your home page to:
about:home
Type this in the address bar and hit enter. If you like it, you should make it your home page. If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps

How do I get Started with Dynamic Web Pages?

I am presently following Janine Warner's Dreamweaver CS3 video series. I noted that the Advanced part of this tutorial series focuses on Dynamic Web Pages, but only uses Cold Fusion. From what I can gather, CF costs around $1000, while PHP is free! My question is really this: in going from static to dynamic web design I'M A COMPLETE NEWBIE, so what do I need? I am doing some planning here -- I know it won't happen overnight.
(BTW: I was surprised to discover that CF is NOT included in my CS3 Master Collection). It might appear then that support for PHP is better than for CF?
Apparently, I need a server -- well, OK I have PCs to spare. Fast internet, I also have: Comcast standard -- 12MP
Now, I think I also need Apache -- which apparently runs on the server and does something.
So then I DL PHP, figure out how it works, and it will integrate with DW CS3 in some way.
Now, what have I missed? Is there some really basic, first-time-with-using-a-server place or tut I should go to or read? Before you ask: No, I'm doing all this myself on a shoestring budget.
Are there expensive hosting fees for dynamic web sites or other items I will run into? Can I just use a PC over my Comcast cable as the server run from my home? (Really high traffic is not anticipated)
All recommendations appreciated, thanks.
Thom

Many of these questions have already been answered in your thread in the Dreamweaver General Discussion forum, so I'll just stick to a few basics.
You need a server whichever server-side technology you choose, but "server" is not a physical machine, but a piece of software that you install on your development computer. You'll find details of how to install a PHP environment in the following article: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php.html.
Similar instructions are available for setting up a ColdFusion server at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_coldfusion.html. The article is for ColdFusion 8, but ColdFusion 9 is installed in exactly the same way.
Hosting for PHP/MySQL is plentiful and relatively cheap. However, make sure the hosting company offers a minimum of PHP 5.2 and MySQL 5.1. Hosting for CF is harder to find and tends to be a bit more expensive, but not prohibitively so.

Lightroom 4 - Print the Perfect Image | Getting Started with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 | Adobe TV

Learn how to use the Print module to bring your images into the spotlight and share with clients, friends or family. Also, see the new tools for making custom contact sheets and print packages.
http://adobe.ly/wqFX7Y

I love Julieanne Kost’s videos. The one on the print module did not mention some gotcha’s. I find this module very frustrating. I have thousands of pictures of wild horses and decided to print a few pages with photos of the right and left side of the horse to make it easier to identify the many pintos. I made a grid of 4 x 2 cells on each page and then tried to drag and drop the photos from the film strip. The first cell filled as expected but when I tried a different photo in the next cell it replaced the first cell’s photo! I could not figure out what was going on. I didn’t know you had to move the photos in the film strip to put them in the order I wanted. I had only used the print module to print single photos and had not used collections before. After spending a lot of time trying to find out what I was doing wrong I found out you couldn’t drag and drop in the Single image/ contact sheet layout! This took over an hour. I tried a different style only to find that the picture package would only use one picture. Well, the custom package did what I wanted it to do. Great, so now I needed to print the captions with the names of the horses and spent another hour trying to get that to print only to discover you could only do that in the Single image/ Contact sheet! In that layout you can only have cells the same size with no mixing of portrait and landscape orientation! Not only that, I only had a picture of one side of a few horses and couldn’t skip a cell in that layout so had to go to Photoshop and create a blank photo to use as a place holder. I had to fill the bottom of a page with blank photos to get a new page if it didn’t want pictures in all the cells of a particular page. This all caused me hours of frustration and pounding my head on the desk. I tried going to the book module but couldn’t create an 8 photos per page like in the contact sheet layout.
Maybe you could tell us why we aren’t allowed to print captions in all of the layout styles and why we can’t drag and drop in all the layout styles in any order we want. Why the Custom Layout style isn’t the only one. Why all the templates supplied are not using the Custom Layout package. Why is this so hard?
Thank you -- Eric Hill
