First time iPhone user. Please help.

I just got my new iPhone 6. It was already charged when I opened it.
Do I have to charge it again or let it run out first?

You should not let your device run out of battery on purpose. Charge it whenever it is convenient. You cannot overcharge it. But letting it drop below 15% on a regular basis will shorten the battery life. If it is charged, then go ahead and use it.
Cheers,

First time Java user- please help!

This is my first time using Java. I'm trying to teach myself the language and ran across a problem. Here is what my screen looked like:
c:\jdk1.4\bin>javac -source 1.4 OurFirstProgram.java
error: cannot read: OurFirstProgram.java
1 error
I would really appreciate any help I can get on this. Thanks.

That's because your OurFirstProgram.java isn't in the directory c:\jdk1.4\bin. Thank goodness - it shouldn't be.
First of all, make sure you've got two environment variables set. I'll assume you're running Windows on an NT/2000/XP box. Go to the Control Panel->Settings->System and set these:
(1) set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.4
(2) set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
Once you have those, open a command shell, navigate to the directory where OurFirstProgram.java is, and type:
javac *.javaThat should put OurFirstProgram.class in the same directory as your .java file. Then type this to run it:
java -classpath . OurFirstProgramSee if that helps. - MOD

First time compressor user, please help!

Hi,
I deal with raceway video and have recently switched editing platforms. I've figured Final Cut out O.K., but every time I use compressor, my video comes out looking horrible. My projects are usually two hours long. What I've been doing is going to the best quality 120 minute setting. What I'm confused about is when I go to the Quality tab after I've selected that option, at the bottom of the tab it says "allows up to 94 minutes of video". Now, I've never tried compressing on the best quality 120 minute setting without changing the bitrate because it seems to me the file size would be too big if the bit rate "allows up to 94" minutes. My usual action is to adjust the average bitrate until it says "allows up to 126 minutes of video" to give my self a little room, but the video looks HORRIBLE. I've heard many different things from different people and I think I'm officially lost. My previous editing platform didn't have a problem putting two hours of video on a dvd without much quality loss, but the video I'm getting from compressor isn't acceptable.
All I want to know is how to get two hours of video and a menu onto a DVD without horrible quality. I know I have to be doing something wrong.
Thanks for listening to my noob question,
TT58

I appreciate your problem.
Many people who use these systems are not putting out such long programmes and obviously they do not understand these problems and so this is a neglected area.
I have posted on this before and no one up to now has satisfactorily explained this:before the mac I have made DVDs of longer events (1.5 -2 hours) using a stand alone DVD recorder on SP. I am not saying the pics were perfect but they are a jolly sight better than what I am getting out of this system. No one can explain why the compression seems to take so much out of the quality. And the way you have to calculate what settings to use to try to get as much on in the best quality is bizarre and very hit and miss. You never really know whether it is going to fit until you see that little icon in DVD pro with the total gigabyte count and even that is a bit vague.
As a newish user, this has been my only gripe with the mac system which otherwise is fantastic. However, the customer only sees the finished result so this issue is important.
If you are not bothered about fancy menus for your kind of work, you might be better just playing out through a break out box into a stand alone DVD recorder - the Panasonics are excellent (PAL)- however be warned that there is a problem with the Miglia Director's Cut box on the G5 - my only other frustration!
So like you, at the moment I am putting out inferior quality to what I was doing before and not finding many answers. Your problem is made worse because you will have a lot of fast moving stuff.
There has been talk on the forums that compressor is not that good and we should be looking at other software - can someone recommend something specifically?

First time iPhone user. How to sync?

Finally gave in to purchasing an iPhone. So my first order of business is syncing stuff that I've downloaded to my phone. I've had my friend download some contents to it prior to this. So here are my questions:
1. Will syncing erase the contents of my phone?
2. Can I sync just certain type of contents that I want and not everything that's loaded on my iTunes?

Disappointed: First time IPOD user needs help

This is the first time I have decided to take the plunge and purchase an IPOD. I decided to go all out and get the Touch. After tryng for a week to get it running and reading all of these posts, I am coming to the conclusion that this was a huge mistake!! It has been NOTHING but a headache.
Like other posters, my Touch is frozen with the USB cable logo. I tried ALL suggestions posted and in troubleshooting topics. I get as far as iTunes recognizing my device and saying I need to restore. However, every time I restore, it seems to be working but it never can finish and a window pops up saying unable to restore, and error occurred (1604).
Is there a way to get a hold of these people to get help? This is ridiculous and I am extremely disappointed! I thought Apple was supposed to be very user friendly. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi there - Definitely give AppleCare support a chance. Use this page to locate the appropriate contact information for them: http://www.apple.com/contact/.
In the meantime, regarding your error message:
I'd attempt a clean reinstall:
Go into Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs
Remove these applications:
1. Apple Software Update
2. Apple Mobile Device Support
3. iTunes
4. QuickTime
Restart the computer
Download & Install the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Launch the Utility: Start > Programs > Windows Install Clean Up
Select any of the above mentioned applications, and click Remove
Restart the computer again
Download & install iTunes again from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Prior to attempting to restore the iPod again, disconnect any and all non-essential USB devices you have connected to your computer... for example, disconnect printers/scanners but you can leave your mouse or keyboard.
I also recommend the steps in this article:

Im a long time Android user switching to the iphone 6 plus. What is the experience of the first time iphone users switching from Android

I had the Gal note 3 then was given a SGS5 for a replace because the Note3 had issues.
Couldnt stand the screen size so I had to go back to the larger screen.
I decided to go with the iphone 6 plus.
So for those who have made the switch from android to apple for the first time what
has you experience been like.
I am an ipad user but want to know peoples opinions that have switched phones.
One thing I dislike and I know you can change it; it seems like google want to
force you to use chrome which I cannot stand

Hi zharvey85,
I truly apologize for your experience at the store. However, we provided the pre order as a way to avoid needing to go to store as inventory availability are subject to change without notice. The pre order secures the device and the other email was for the shipping information. Perhaps you can re order the device online to get the ball rolling for you to get your iPhone 6 plus as desired as opposed to going to the store of which inventory can change depending on the availability.
Thank you!

First time iphone user

How do I back up my data,music,apps,and phone numbers?

iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software)

Simpleton iPhone user, please help!

Please accept my apologies in advance for my technophobia and simpleness with regard to my following statements!
I have owned an iPhone 4 for approx 3 yrs, taken pics, vids etc., I also have wotsapp on this phone, which I also receive pics to! (Although, I am very limited in my knowledge of the iPhone, I prefer it to the Blackberry)! I have found that almost every time there is an update I have to delete pics and vids, just to be able to get the updates. I understand I didn't have enough memory, so a while ago I opened an icloud account, thinking my pics would be stored there, to be retrieved at my leisure on my pc! Having read a few other peoples Q & A on this forum, I now believe that I am unable to see or retrieve them again?!! Is this correct or am I being super simple? I have the flowery looking pic (on phone home screen) that has yrs as headers and pics underneath, I've actually had to delete some of these today to be able to get new upgrade and think I have completely lost them now!!
Today I have gone onto contract and upgraded to 5c, I have been told to back up all my info from iPhone 4 (before transfer of original mob no. and contacts should be attempted to transfer to 5c). I went into the icloud app that (hopefully) has backed up my contacts!! But, am I correct in assuming I will be unable to retrieve any pics or vids I may attempt to store, or have stored previously
I see there is the option to share, but I don't neccesarily want to share, I just want access to them for myself and family?!
Please accept my apologies for this long-winded comment, but, I really am clueless!! I'm not even sure I am going to be able to find this thread again to read your responses!
I would really appreciate any positive comments and advice you can give me.
Thanks

If you want your contacts and other data to be saved in iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud on your iPhone 4 and turn contacts, calendars, etc. to On. Then check icloud.com to be sure that they are there. These will then appear on your new phone when you sign into your iCloud account. As far as your pictures, your backup will save any photos and videos currently in your camera roll. Restoring this backup to your new phone will transfer them, along with your app data, text messages, settings, apps and other purchased media, to you new phone.
If you have any photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to the camera roll before backing up your old phone so then will be transferred too.
Photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, giving your other devices enough time to download them. Since they are only in iCloud for 30 days, you can't use this to back up your photos. You also can't use your device backup to save your photos. The problem with trying to do this is that if you delete any photos from your phone, then continue backing it up, the backup that contained the deleted photos will be overwritten by one that doesn't, and they will be lost.
To keep your photos, you should always import them to your computer while they are still in your camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
In the future, if you need to delete data from your phone in order to update it, you might want to delete data that is in your iTunes library so you can sync it back to your phone after the update. You could, for example, delete all your music, then update your phone and sync it back after the update.

Question from a first time iphone user

I am picking up my very first iphone tomorrow. My question is this: I have tons of mp3's that were not purchased through itunes. Is there a way to put these mp3s on my iphone so I dont have to rebuy them from the itunes store?
Thanks.

Import them into iTunes and you can sync them onto your phone directly from there. No need to purchase again. I have done this with loads of CDs.

I have the iPhone 5c, and earlier the black part of the screen lifted up from the white part, I was able to snap it back down. But is that normal? I'm a first time iPhone user so I'm freaking out!

I would really appreciate accurate answers to my questions!

No, that is not normal.
The iPhone is still under warranty. Take it to an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Center and let them look at it and advise you about the next steps.

First time IPhone 4 owner-Help plz

Hi,
I received my IPhone 4 from Verizon last Monday and have been tring to figure out what it can and cannot do. Mostly using MMS. Can't forward a MMS that has a pix,text and sound? Can only forward a MMS to 3 address'? Transferred MMS files from BB and found out my animated ones were saved as stills. I'm really getting frustrated with the whole MMS program and the lack of information on what the phone can and cannot do.

I've been with Verizon for over 5 years and have never had this issue. Just when I switched from a Blackberry to the IPhone did it start. My Husband has a non smart text phone on Verizon and can forward animated MMS as well as one that have an animatied pic, a sound and some text all together on one. He also had a BB on Verizon and was able to as well on it.

First time motion use, please help.

I have recently installed Final Cut Studio 3 and currently using motion, following an online tutorial.
I have also downloaded Noise FxFactory.
Can someone please tell me how i can import Noise FxFactor (or any other material for that matter) into my Apple Motion Library.
Thanks
Jordan

hi,
if you have followed the installation instructions for FxFactory then all the bits and pieces should be put in the correct places. the filters should all appear in the filters list, either in the pop up menu form the tool bar, or in the Library pane under filters. All Noise Industry filters appear in a folder starting with the letters NI. The generators appear in the generators section of the library.
Are you not seeing this?

Installing Tiger 10.4 for the first time with 4Gb (PLEASE HELP)

Ok hey, I would like to install Tiger on my mac g5 but there is a problem I have about 4 GB of hard drive space left on my drive. Will this cause a problem? or will it actually free up space once I installed it.
I also have some files that I would not like to become altered (music songs in logic etc) when I install this system is there a possibility I could lose work or subject to structure change?

And HFS+ just hates having less than 15% free space, too. The more fragmented, the more likely you could lose the directory itself.
When you restart etc the system flushes any unsaved writes out to disk, and it could just die there.
At less than $0.50/GB for storage, buy some backup drives
And with 4GB of RAM, and swap files (files, they start at 64MB and double) it is unlikely during an install there will be ANY. Always good to restart before even running updates. RAM helps with the install to decompress files, not disk drive - because during an install, you are booted from DVD and it can't write to DVD or to hard drive for swap files. Temp files, yes, and usually it can be 3x larger than the file.
250GB drive should have more like 40GB free unfortunately. And that is based on MicroMat's in-house testing. They use to have a forum on MacFixit, unfortunately that is gone and moved to their own site and they didn't migrate their own thread discussions (wealth of info there I use to link to).
