Four month old iPhone 5 not fully compatible with T-Mobile ???

I bought a brand new, un-locked iPhone 5 in December directly from Apple.. It is now only partially compatible with the T-Mobile network it's been on since it's original power on. *** ?????
In T-Mobile's announcement today, they indicated that Apple was building a 'special' version just for them. They also said I would have to go buy a brand new iPhone 5 to get the new 1700 band... NOT!!!
Can the existing, iPhone 5 be updated via firmware, to be compatible with he T-Mobile 1700 band network ????
Thanks in advance...

It was well known in the business pages of any newspaper, evening news, computer trades, online, etc., that T-Mobile would get the iPhone, probably around April. It was also known that after the merger fell through that T-Mobile would have to put together an LTE network in order to compete in the US marker. It was also known that T-Mobile used different frequencies than AT&T and would have to use a different band/frequency for their LTE network.
So how were you "ripped off"? As I said before who put a gun to your head and made you buy an unlocked iPhone to use on T-Mobile before T-Mobile was an official carrier?
The only person who ripped you off was you.

I have a four month old Iphone 4, from the Apple store, And seems like every day something stops working on it. Today I can't hear the person thats calling, but they hear me fine. Anyone know how to fix this?

That is just the most recent problem. Other problems are the screen freezes all the time, and it won't scroll or do anything. Another is my keyboard lags as I type. another problem, is with some of my apps are constantly crashing. And It is not the apps itself per se, because my friends can be using the same app, and they are fine. Another would be emails not pushing. I will have some emails that show up, some will say I have new emails, but open to check and nothing there. Then other times i will have like 17 emails all show up at once, with some being sent days before. Another problem is my Wifi turns itself off all the time. Even when I am sitting less than 10 feet away from the router. And When I add new contacts, they are visible for a few days, then all the sudden they are nowhere to be found. Sometimes it will at least save the number in my contacts, and no name or other info. And other times it doesn't save anything. These are just a few of the many problems.
Because I got this phone shortly after the new IOS7 update, I thought since I had read about problems others were having after updating, may have been the reason I was having some initial problems. But they have only grown to more problems, and not getting better.
Has anyone else had these same problems? Do I just have a bad phone? If you have had any of these problems, were you able to get a fix and how? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

HS-20/AD-41 headset is not fully compatible with N...

The remote control works until the Music Player actually plays tracks, but it won't control the paused or stopped player if the keypad is locked on the phone or the Music Player is in the background. It means that if I paused or stopped the music for some reason I have to pull out the phone to unlock the keypad to get the remote control working again. And Nokia lists the N80 as compatible with this headset...

Same with an N73, so it's not just the N80 that is not compatible with the AD-41.
N73 is fully compatible, all you need to do to make the buttons work is plug the pop port without the 3.5 headphone jack connected to it. As soon as the phone recognize the headset, that is the time to plug in the 3.5 jack. Good luck!!!

Can't hide rows; not fully compatible with Excel files

This program has not been fully thought out in its design. I wish I had not bought it; I mistakenly assumed that Apple would have made it fully compatible to other spreadsheet templates, with basic features equal to Excel.
If I want to use this program in my business, I have to rewrite my spreadsheet templates!!!
I will certainly think twice before paying good money for Apple software that is supposed to replace other business software, if I bother considering it at all.

Hi Glenn,
Welcome to Numbers. Yes you can hide rows and columns.
What I do is this:
1. To hide row 8, move mouse over the number 8 for row 8
2. You'll now see a drop down arrow to the right. Click on the arrow you'll see Hide Row.
3. The same technique applies to columns as well.
To further help you allow me to suggest reading the Numbers help file. Quote:
Hiding Rows and Columns
Hide specific rows or columns when you want to avoid showing or using them but don’t want to delete them. While a row or column is hidden, it can’t be reformatted, merged, split, or otherwise manipulated. However, any formula that uses a hidden cell isn’t affected, and sorting takes hidden values into account.
To hide a row or column:
Choose Hide Row or Hide Column from a row or column reference tab’s pop-up menu.
To show hidden rows and columns, choose Table > Unhide All Rows or Table > Unhide All Columns.
Rows or columns that are hidden in Numbers tables aren’t visible when the tables are copied into other iWork ’08 applications. To see the hidden rows, select the table and choose Format > Table > Unhide All Rows or Unhide All Columns.

It's my hope all the above helps you. If this isn't what you're looking for then I've misunderstood your question so please post back. If it is what you're looking for please let us know as well.

IPod Nano (2nd generation) not fully compatible with BOSE SoundDock

I can't get the remote control for my BOSE SoundDock to function with my newly purchased 2 GB iPod Nano (2nd generation).
The BOSE manual states that the remote control will not function properly if the iPod doesn't have the proper (or later) version of Apple software installed.
The "correct" software that BOSE identifies for the iPod mini (Nano) is version 1.2 or later.
This, however, appears only applicable to iPod 1st generation Nanos.
My brand new ipod Nano has version 1.1.2 software and iTunes has confirmed this to be the most current software for this 2nd generation unit.
Is this a common problem? It's hard to believe the BOSE unit does not cover 2nd generation iPod Nano software.
Other than the non-funtioning remote control, the BOSE unit works fine and with the BOSE-supplied black adpater for the Nano.

Dell PC Windows XP

Actually, the BOSE SoundDock is compatible with the iPod Nano.
After troubleshooting with the BOSE staff, and some excellent customer service, the problem was narrowed down to the remote control device.
BOSE sent out a new remote control and the unit works fine with my iPod Nano.
Appreciate all who offerred assist in this matter.

Adobe Flash 10.0.42.34 not fully compatible with OS X 10.6.2

Every time I try to run Flash content on my computer, I am told that I need to install Rosetta (32-bit backward compatibility).   When is Adobe going to provide a 64-bit version of Flash? I mean, Snow Leopard has been out for some time, I would think that this would have been resolved by now.

It requires 10.9 or later.

You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

TS3899 My iPhone is not fully synchronized with my hotmail and my gmail accounts. How can I fix that?

I can receive and read mails from my hotmail and gmail accounts, but if I answer them from my iphone, they don't appear on my hotmail or gmail pages.

It sounds as if you may be using POP rather than IMAP. POP email accounts do not stay in sync across devices. IMAP accounts do.
For Gmail, log into your Gmail account on your computer, go to Settings>Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Make sure that you have IMAP enabled. You'll need to check with Hotmail to see what the similar settings would be.

HTML5 Courses still not fully compatible on iPad or iPhone

Hi,
I've created several courses in Captivate 7, and using the HTML5 tracker, I've made sure all the elements in the courses are HTML5 supported. After publishing the courses and putting them in the LMS, I've tried using them on my iPhone and iPad, and I keep getting a warning message (all the courses work fine on my Mac). The message says:
"This course is not fully compatible with your current device. You may encounter problems with some lessons."
I can open the courses fine, and can navigate through them, but I'm not sure what parts are not compatible. I found one video that's not working, and it seems that the quiz questions aren't working. Otherwise, they seem to be functioning fine.
Any ideas or insight would be appreciated!

Can you tell me what the "ini" file is? The warning seems legitimate because the quiz questions aren't working on the iPad or the iPhone. So it seems like more than an automatic error message.

My four-month-old macbook pro's battery when fully charged is now down to 2 hours life from 7...in the last week. Why?

I bought my macbook pro 13" about four months ago and have been in love with it ever since - especially as compared to my old PC laptop, the battery stays cool and lasts forever when I am working. Best charge was 7 hours. However, in the last week I have noticed the battery suddenly becoming hot when I unplug the charger, and the best length of time I can get on a full charge is 2 hours.
I have made sure all the settings are for prolonged battery life - which they've been since I first set up - and turned off all programmes running in the background, but this has not made any difference. I have been using iMovie a lot lately which takes a lot of battery which is probably why I didn't notice the battery being low as it automatically seems to make the battery slump to 2 hours when it's on. It's off now, and my battery won't improve.
I have also now followed the instructions (below) about calibrating, but this has had no effect. My housemate bought the same model a month ahead of me, uses it probably slightly less, but his is still 7 hours for a charge.
Is my battery faulty?
Calibration instructions used:
PowerBook G4 (15-inchDouble-Layer SD), MacBook (all models), MacBook Pro (all models), and MacBookPro (17-inch) (all models)
Thebattery calibration for the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD) and anymodel of MacBook or MacBook Pro has been updated because of a new batteryreleased with this computer. With these computers, follow these steps tocalibrate your battery:
Plug in the power adapter and     fully charge your PowerBook's battery until the light ring or LED on the     power adapter plug changes to green and the onscreen meter in the menu bar     indicates that the battery is fully charged.
Allow the battery to rest in the     fully charged state for at least two hours. You may use your computer     during this time as long as the adapter is plugged in.
Disconnect the power adapter while     the computer still on and start running the computer off battery power.     You may use your computer during this time. When your battery gets low,     the low battery warning dialog appears on the screen.
At this point, save your     work. Continue to use your computer; when the battery gets very low,     the computer will automatically go to sleep.
Turn off the computer or allow it     to sleep for five hours or more.
Connect the power adapter and     leave it connected until the battery is fully charged again.
Tip:When the battery reaches "empty", the computer is forced into sleepmode. The battery actually keeps back a reserve beyond "empty", tomaintain the computer in sleep for a period of time. Once the battery is trulyexhausted, the computer is forced to shut down. At this point, with the safesleep function introduced in the PowerBook G4 (15-inch Double-Layer SD)computers, the computer's memory contents have been saved to the hard drive.When power is restored, the computer returns itself to its pre-sleep stateusing the safe sleep image on the hard drive.

My two month old iphone lightning cable is corroded and not working. Any solutions to this apparently common problem on the horizon?

My two month old iPhone lightning cable is suddenly corroded and not working. Any solutions to this apparently common problem on the horizon?

You bought a used iPhone. Amazon is not an authorized supplier of iPhones, nor are any of the 3rd parties that sell iPhones there.
You can make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.
If you are very very lucky, it is still under warranty and it wasn't opened or otherwise tampered with before you bought it. In which case, Apple will replace it under warranty.
If it's not under warranty, they will replace it for $199.
If it has been opened or tampered with, they won't touch it.

Tried to update my 14 month old iphone 5 with ios 8 all i have now is a picture of a USB lead leading to a symbol of itunes and nothing for twenty four hours

You are in recovery mode. Restore it through iTunes on your computer.

I have a six months old iPhone 5s, it discharges the battery in 1/2 day without extensive use, 5 trips to the Genius Bar to no avail... Frustrated.. Ready to get rid of the phone, very disappointed in apple support!!

I have a six months old iPhone 5s that I use and have to use for work purposes, I have for a approximate battery life of seven or eight hours.
I went to the Genius Bar on five occasions and did not receive substantial help. I was told that I would have some applications crashing in the background but was unable to be told which ones they were. The phone is still on the warranty, but it's Apple tells me that it is not the hardware but my usage. I compared it to some of my colleagues and none of them has a battery problem like I do. I feel like I am left with a product that is not stand up to its specifications, and as a customer being totally left alone with a smart phone that does not even last through a workday. Any suggestions how to get through to Apple with this?? I was always very impressed with Apple's customer service and care up until now, obviously. Now Im ready to jump ship...

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?
