Getting Worse by the Day (3G 8GB)

_Since I upgraded_:
- Always "Searching..." which ends with "No Service". This drains the battery in just half a day.
- Rarely get connected to cell network.
- Can't make or receive calls.
- Can't connect to 3G.
- Heavy lag on all apps.
_Prior to the upgrade_:
- Good cell signal and able to make calls anywhere, even inside buildings.
- Always connected to 3G, rarely slipped to Edge.
I've made 2 service calls to AT&T where we reset things and checked things, but only provided a temporary fix.
The phone gets worse every day with less and less connectivity to any network. I am close to attempting to revert to older OS 3.1.3. Help!

Hi,
Sorry you are having trouble. The 3G is really only barely able to run iOS4. Sad but true. I will run it if you are patient and you do a couple of things.
You need to restore it as a new phone. This is very important. The system seems to get real massy if you try to use your back up.
You will need to re load your apps and audio. You will loose all network settings.
You will have a functional phone when you are done.
Plug it in to iTunes, Choose Restore, when that completes you will be asked to use your back up or set up as a new phone. Choose set up as a new phone. Don't let it sync your apps automatically. Do sync your contacts and other info. Then you can load back the apps you want.
I also suggest a daily reboot. Hold home and sleep/wake till you see the apple logo. This helps clear the memory. The 3G is light on system memory and iOS4 requires quite a bit of that.
The phone will be slow at some things but the important stuff like phone calls and typing will work normally. Apps lad slow and stuff like that. The new features are worth it in my opinion. If you want to really see iOS4 fly you need an iPhone 4. That means money of course.
Good luck, hope this helps

DSL connection getting worse by the day

For the last several years, we have been having connection issues with our DSL internet. Typically, these issues are present in the summer months, and by mid to late October they correct themselves, and we have normally functioning DSL throughout the winter months. Not so this year. For the last month, our connection quality has been continually declining. We now have to reset the internet constanty thoughout the day. It goes out for minutes or hours at a time. For instance, it has been out for the last hour, and the Internet light on the D-Link DSL2750B router has been out. I rebotted, as well as disconnecting and then rebooting, to no avail. At other times, both the Internet and DSL lights are lit, but the WLAN light blinks very fast and steadily, and will not connect.
We have had several tech visits over the past few years, although none this year as yet. The last tech to visit changed out tier in the central box a few blocks away, and out service has been very poor since. However, as stated, it has gone dramatically downhill in the past month, or so. We generally do not have service for several hours per day. There is no real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or the current weather conditions. We lose connection rain or shine, hot or cold. I've worn a path between my computer and the router! Please let me know what I can do address this situation. I have spent countless hours over the past few years on the phone with tech support in India, and an not interested in repeating the experience. We've had issues long enough now that I know rebooting, etc, isn't going to fix anything.

My sons I touch has gone very light in colour almost white . It gets worse as the battery wears down . He swears that it hasent been near water so would Anyone know what this is . Should I take it in to fix ?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Black Line going through middle of screen, getting bigger by the day.

Hi,
I was wondering if you would be able to help me fix this problem.
My HP Omni 120-1034 Desktop PC was working fine until 2 weeks ago when a thin lack line appeared through the middle of the screen going horizontally. It is getting darker and bigger as the days go. I just re-installed the Graphics Driver but that is not helping.
please help. Thanks

That sounds like the display panel which, as you might imagine, is hard to get at on an all-in-one. To be sure, on a laptop we would connect it to an external monitor but yours does not have an external monitor port. Replacement screens are about $130 on eBay.

LTE signal getting worse over the last 4-5 months in 84106

I live in an area of Salt Lake City called Sugarhouse, and for the last 4-5 months it seems like the LTE service in this area has just gotten worse and worse. The area in particular is South of I-80 along Highland Drive.
At first I thought that it was my phone (Droid Charge) so I went through troubleshooting at a store, which included resetting my phone to defaults and getting a replacement SIM card. Neither solved the problem, and I didn't think the final step of replacing the phone was necessary because the same phone gets full LTE signal at work downtown and in many other areas.
Since then, I've purchased a Verizon iPad with LTE and have seen the same exact behavior on both devices. They will both drop to 3G in most areas of the house including outside in the open. The Droid Charge has also dropped to 1x a few times, but I don't think that's happened since the recent update. Sometimes the devices will bounce back and forth between LTE and 3G, which is bad because if I forget to put my phone on the charger overnight, or forget to set it to CDMA only, I'll wake up with a dead phone.
Something else that I've noticed during the last month or so, is that when I do find a spot in my home that I can get 1-2 bars of LTE signal in, that particular spot is good for a limited amount of time. I've left my phone and iPad in a spot that has LTE signal, and anywhere between 10 minutes to 6 hours later the device will drop to 3G. Sometimes I'll be able to get LTE back if I move the device around a bit, sometimes it will stay on 3G despite repositioning.
I'd be happy to offer up any additional information if needed. I'm desperate to get a good stable LTE signal! Thank you.

Hello Meerkatderp! I'm sorry to learn of any issues you have encountered in the last few months! I appreciate all that you have tried in an attempt to get this resolved too. I'm happy to help you w/your 4G data connection! Because you gave such thorough information about the location in which you are having trouble, I was able to locate the area on our coverage map. This area is showing to be covered nicely with 4G service, with towers all along Highland and south of I80. I did check my resources to check and see if any trouble tickets have been made for the area, and I don't see a problem reported there.
This doesn't mean I doubt you in the least! (I just want to make sure that is clear) But, what it does do is point my attention to your device. I'd like to ask you to try some troubleshooting steps with your phone. I have listed them for you.
1) Press and hold the power button, turn on Airpland Mode, wait 15 seconds, then press and hold the power button again and turn off Airplane Mode.
2) Please remove the battery and the SIM card from the phone for about 60 seconds, reattach, power on, and monitor.
3) Complete a master reset on the phone, once you have backed up the information. Here are the steps:
http://bit.ly/SjwrC2
4) Here is an application that is recommended from the manufacturer of your device to help with this as well:

Please let me know how these steps work out, so we can make sure you are able to enjoy the 4G network.

My BB speeds are getting slower by the day

I have been with BT Broadband for approx a year and on the whole the service has been good. But just this last few weeks I have begun to experience slower speeds than usual.
I have used the BT Speed Checker a few times, and each time I get a worse result. Today's results were the worst yet. Here they are:

Can anyone offer me some advice? I really don't want to use the BT helpline. I have used them before and find them pretty useless to be blunt.

I have tried 17070 option 2. It is quiet. However I noticed a lot of noise coming from my phone prior to dialing. Not sure if this has anything to do with my problem or not. I have two phones in the house and the other one does not make any noise.
My broadband is connected to the second socket in the house (not sure what master and test sockets mean).
I have had a few disconnections recently, but my hub seems to be updating as it is flashing yellow when this happens, which I guess is normal.

My daughter accidentally dumped my iTouch into the tub. It is ruined. How can I receive my one time regrant on all the songs I've lost. There were approximately 80 songs I purchased on iTunes. They get me through the day! Please help!

My daughter accidentally dumped my iTouch into the bath tub. It is ruined. How can I receive my one time regrant to get back the 80 plus songs I purchased and downloaded on iTunes? I'm devastated....please help! My husband bought me the new iPhone4 for my new Mother's Day gift. I would like to download all the songs I lost. Thank you so much!

You can redownload the songs as many times as you want, the "one time regrant" no longer exists. Make sure you are using the same apple id on both your dead itouch and your iphone 4. On your iphone 4 go to the itunes app > Purchased (may be under more based on your settings) at the top click not on this iphone, click all songs then click the little cloud next to each song you want to redownload. It will prompt you for your id and password and the begin your download

Crack in outer case / screen bezel on 20" iMac G5 getting worse by the week

Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem ...?
About a month ago, I noticed a very small crack in the bottom left-hand corner of my iMac's outer casing - at first I thought it was a mould mark that occassionally picked up sunlight coming into the room in the mornings, as in the evenings it was barely noticabable - but more recently I it has increased in length and can be clearly seen in any light ...
Have a look at these photos .... one is with a flash & one without ...
http://tinyurl.com/ejjq6
http://tinyurl.com/hvrpg
My estimate is this crack is now growing by the week but I am not sure exactly why ... also, for the past couple of months - more & more CD's & DVDs are falling out of the 'slot load' without halting after an eject - I have also had a power supply issue recently where my machine keeps switching itself off randomly and without warning (at present I can only use it successfully for lite duties such as checking emails in Entourage & browsing) .... and my hunch is that something inside my machine is getting hot and has warped or buckled the casing.
This machine has been on my desk since new about 9 months ago - the room temparaure is around 22º - 29º celcius (70º - 85º farenheit) on average. It's never been moved or shipped anywhere & is not likely to have been damaged by anything else - as the space is mininal with a bed, desk chair & my Mac - I also live alone and am the only one who has ever used it and that 'direct sunlight' I mentioned earlier is minimal ... so it's a total mystery as to how & why this crack has appeared ...
I would like to know if anyone else has noticed any cracks in the outer casings of your iMacs .... there were a couple of previous threads from late last year, but as these have been archived I could not reply to them so have started a new post ...
you can see previous case-cracking thread here: --> http://tinyurl.com/nr2wx
And - can any of the Mac Daddy's (you know who you are in these forums give me some advice on how best to approach Apple to have it checked ?? My machine still has 3 months left of it's initial 1 year warranty - it goes in for a PSU check and/or replacement in 1 week - but something tells me I might be not be taken too seriously regarding the crack in my machine ...

Boomer ... thanks for your reply ...
Regarding my Apple approach - I went through the iBook logic board fiasco, way back in the early days before it was acknowledged by Apple to be a manufacturing flaw. The company here in Auckland who are the Apple representatives for New Zealand is a company called Renaissance (our official Apple head office is actually in Sydney, Australia) - when I first informed them of my iBook 700 starting up to a garbled start-up screen and then freezing, they told me I must have dropped it and would not consider repairing it under warranty or Apple Care. Many months of conversations, tests by Apple service technicians and eventually, talks with the management at Renaissance, and out of pocket expenses by me, eventually got me nowhere and the final conclusion was that I had misused my machine and it would not be repaired under warranty. After several discouraging months later, I eventually sold it as spare parts for a fraction of what I had paid for it ... 6 months later the iBook Logic Board fault was acknowledged - but for me, it came way too late ...
Fast forward 3 years …
I purchased my iMac G5 last July, which has now developed a serious power supply issue where it randomly shuts down without warning when processing an average size (350MBs) video file in Toast or resizing a medium size image in Photoshop with the internal fans going ballistic on a regular basis whenever a heavy task is laid on the processor - and more recently, the crack in the lower-left hand corner growing larger. Also, the disks falling out of the slot-load - & all this from a machine which apart from the above - looks in minted brand new condition ... because it really hasn't had that much use in it’s short life - if it was new car, it would only have done about 20,000kms ...
My point is. Although the PSU issue is widely acknowledged and the one in my machine is most likely to be checked & replaced by Apple NZ free-of-charge - I feel that I might not be so lucky with the cracked case. The level of service here in New Zealand I would say is but a fraction of the support one might receive in Australia & the States – or at least for me it appears that way ... you would not believe that 'attitude' I have come up against when dealing with managers at Renaissance – and any request to have a speedy check done on my iMac by 3 separate service centres will take more than a week (closer to 2 weeks) to complete as the replacement PSU has to be ordered, then shipped from Australia – there is no such thing as a routine ‘same day or next day’ service or repair! I have lodged the crack complaint with Apple Australasia through our local help-line which diverts automatically to the Apple Customer Liaison desk in Australia but when I spoke to a local service centre, an Apple tech suggested it was unlikely to be replaced if there were no other ‘documented’ accounts of cracks on other 20” G5 iMacs anywhere else. And even without seeing it, he suggested the crack has most likely been caused by ‘blunt force’.
And as I know that is not the case, I sense I am in for another battle with the honchos at Renaissance who will most likely decline the repair or replacement of the casing under warranty.
Hence the reason for this post – I am trying to gather information to help support my case. I am adamant this crack has appeared on it’s own and has not been hit by anything blunt or due to misuse.
You might be asking why I have not just taken it in already to have all 3 things checked at the same time?
Firstly, the fans started acting up about 2-3 months ago – I have performed several maintenance tasks on my machine since then (resetting the power parameters: resetting VRAM & PRAM), & other maintenance tasks (Ethernet/network tweaks & running Yasu to refresh the system) & which combined, reduced the fan noise by about 50%, & that’s something I considered I could live with, considering the amount of others in these forums who are experiencing the same problem. I figured the iMac G5 is always going to be noisy – because no-one in these forums has posted an absolute fix yet - I didn’t see the point in taking it in and being without a machine for 2 weeks, only to be told there was nothing wrong with it. It was also around this time that CDs & DVDs began falling from the slot load & down the back of my desk.
Then the crack came to my attention about a month ago, which I reported immediately to the help line (including the excessive fan noise) and was issued a specific ‘case number’– again, I was told to bring it in to a local service centre but when I called to arrange a time to drop off, I was again told it would take up to 2 weeks for an assessment – that’s when the tech suggested the crack was not a defect but damage caused by a blunt object and was unlikely to be covered under warranty.
My alarm bells starting ringing when I heard that, & I could see myself re-experiencing the long-winded battle with Apple NZ again to be taken seriously.
I was actually in the process of winding down my current assignment, (which is worth $2,000 to me) in preparation of not having a machine for 2 weeks to fix the PSU as I do not have another unit with which to work on - when my iMac started randomly switching itself off without warning last week – as a result, I have had to persevere at a snails pace – saving my work every 2 mins, as I have to get this project finished before I can afford to hire a replacement machine in the interim ….
I am stuck in a catch-22.
My machine will be going in this Monday to have all 4 malfunctions inspected: fans, PSU, cracked casing & the disc eject problem … my expectation is to have all 4 issues repaired under warranty as I have looked after this machine, as with any other machine or appliance I own – with love & with care !!
To round it all up - and I apologise for the drawn-out and rather convoluted explanation, but I am trying to find others who might also be having case/bezel issues with their G5 iMacs, which could hopefully support my claim when I come up against the impending ‘NO’ regarding the cracked casing …

Illustrator CS5 - a Designers nightmare program seems to get worse all the time.

Bug after Bug after Bug.......
Now I'm getting this message when trying to save a file:
Every other program on my computer (including CorelDraw) works fine..... even Photoshop works fine... it's JUST ILLUSTRATOR as usual.... any ideas??
Thanks.

If you need help you should tell us some info on what's in the file, how it was created, where it came from and what you did before Illustrator crashed. Also important: plug-ins, fonts, printer driver, networked volumes and maybe several other details.
As you might have guessed, your problem is not so common that someone has an out-of-the-box-solution.

Audio problem: large avi file / audio out of sync getting worse towards the end

Hi,
We have an 11 hours avi file (about 500GB) that plays fine in Windows Media Player and is in sync.
When we import it into Premiere Pro CS6 audio and video tracks are of the same length. At the beginning of the video sound is fine and in sync as well. But at the end of the video the audio is out of sync by a couple of frames (but still the same length). We tried different things and the only thing that worked was setting the audio buffer size to maximum. Now the audio is in sync at the beginning, middle and end of video. But of course editing is impossible like this (if you hit pause the audio needs some time to stop).
Any help or suggestions are welcome.
Cheers

FCPX and whole system gets slower by the day

I am using FCPX on Mountian Lion on a mid 2010 MacBookPro with full RAM and a boot drive that is more than half empty.
My computer can barely cope anymore with video editing and is generally very laggy even when video is not rendering.
What should I do? Should I get new MBP or iMac?

Is your question about the specs of the raw original media I am editing?
Yes I am using a seperate drive connected by FW800. Projects and events are all on the same drive.
My computer is generally laggy even when not editing or rendering.
When I switch back to FCPX from another program the system just freezes and i get the spinning circle of death for up to thirty seconds.

Does anybody know of a calendaring product that works on the Mac? Apple seem determined to remain blind to the fact that iCal is getting worse.

Over the last few months, iCal is just getting worse. The forced "upgrade" no longer supports multiple e-mail addresses, one can no longer confirm appointments into iCal, it will now not read outlook appointments sent via e-mail....its so bad that the support folks last time reminded me to read the terms and conditions of service.....that was a new low point.
Does anybody know of a product that a non technical person can rely on like PC users rely on Outlook?
Thanks

Hi David,
I guess from your "forced upgrade" comment you actually mean MobileMe Calendar. If that is the case and you'd like Apple to know about this I suggest you send them feedback.
The correct forum for discussion of MobileMe is MobileMe on my Mac.
I use iCal regularly with few issues. I do not use MobileMe Calendar.

Firefox keeps getting slower and slower as the day goes on

It's exactly as the title suggests - it works fine first thing in the morning, then gradually gets slower as the day goes on. Last night, for example, I couldn't get on any sites for love nor money - all it kept saying was 'transferring to...' 'loading...' whatever site I was going on, YouTube videos keep freezing etc (I have to keep pausing and waiting for the little grey bar to extend a little; such a trivial thing, yet so annoying! I also unchecked the 'Use hardware acceleration where possible' thing in 'Options', to no avail).
I've done all the usual tests (scan, virus checks etc), all of which have come back perfectly clear. I used Internet Explorer, yet that works perfectly OK, aside from a little slowness in getting a page to load, but I think I'm using a rather dated version of IE (I got my computer September 2012, and this version of IE was already installed on there!), so maybe that's to blame.
I've reset Firefox, to no avail. It's getting on my nerves!! The YouTube part of my problem only started Wednesday night, and the slowness of Firefox started yesterday. As bizarre as it may seem, may the weather be causing the Internet to go slow, as it is unbelievably hot and humid here in the UK at the moment! I remember my Mum saying she had the same problem around this time last year when it was boiling hot!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
