Horrible Situation From Using Air Plane Mode!!

In November of 2013 I took my family on a what was supposed to be a 7 day cruise. During the cruise we turned our cell phones to airplane mode so that we wouldn't accidentally incur charges for calls or texts that my come in. Before exiting the ship on our first dock at Cozumel we triple checked our phones to make sure that they were in sync with the ship time; in this way we would know exactly when we need to get back to the ship on time to depart. Well, while spending some time at a place called Paradise Beach we turned on WiFi so that we could check our mail on our phones. While in airplane mode on the ship, the time would not change even while in a different time zone. Little did we know that when we turned on WiFi (even while still in airplane mode) the time would change to the local time some minutes after connecting to the internet. What I think is ridiculous is that our phones did not notify us that the time was being changed to one hour earlier. There was no text or pop-up notification, it just changed while we set the phone down to relax and swim (while it's still in airplane mode). So long story short, we didn't make it back ontime to the ship and we missed the rest of our trip! Of course, I cannot blame Apple for my misfortune. But I can complain that there isn't some kind of notification that lets it's user know that the time of the phone has changed. In fact, I've seen a few apps like calendar apps notify me of time zone changes. Why wouldn't this just be built into the iPhone itself? This is the only avenue I have to vent to Apple about this problem that contirubted to a family of 4 being stranded on an island. This problem really needs to be addresssed. Does anyone know how I can send a feature request? I can't even call or chat with Apple because my 4S is out of warranty. I've been very very happy with Apple up until this happened to us.

Actually, you are not venting to Apple here. This is a user to user technical support forum used for answering user questions. If you want to vent to Apple, then go to www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link.
Do you mind my asking a question? How did you have the clock set in Settings, Auto or Manual? Just curious.

Air 2 data being used when in Air Plane Mode

I have been going through a tremendous amount of data all of a sudden. Yesterday I turned air plane mode on and just used WiFi and yet my data amount keeps increasing. WHY? It was very costly last month and will be again this coming month. When I have it in Air Plane Mode I should not be using any data.
Both the data usage on my iPad and on my account at Verizon keeps increasing even in Air Plane Mode.

Did you look in settings > cellular to see which app is using the data?
Double click on home button. Quit all apps you do not need.

It keeps asking if i want to turn on air plane mode after cleaning it...

HELP!!! I cleaned my phone tonight with a damp wash cloth, it 'wasn't' soaking wet either. And i had it cut off too, i just wipped it down , and i believe a little bit of water went into the speakers below or something, now it's asking me if i want to turn on air plane mode and something about this feature doesn't work with iphone, and also to do something with audio interference, and that i will not be able to make or recive calls. But i dont get it, i turned it off, reset the network settings, i can still hear everything very good, text messages and calls go out and recive when i choose not to do air plane mode, i hear every tone thats suppose to work, the only thing is that message keeps popping up every few minutes when its on standby, home screen, and after i cut it back on. I really hope i didnt mess it up because everything works and i just was trying to wip it down a little before i went to bed, i've only had it 3 months and just trying to keep it clean. I just want that message to stop, if i do that air plane mode nothing will come in....i'm scared

Actually it is fully exposed to the air and just about all cell phones use this methood. It pretty much just a sticker and requires a lot more than just "moisture". Most phones open the battery cover and look for the white dot. It turns red if the phone ever got wet (a good drop in a puddle, toilet, pool, etc).
For the iPhone, look down the headjack (best if done with screen on as it lights up some). You will see white dot at bottom. It turns red if phone gets wet.
Just cleaning the phone should never set it off unless cloth was wet enough that droplets of water can fall from cloth and down the headjack.
Though sounds like the OP just messed up the connections on the dock as you are not supposed to get them wet. I would just take it to store (with appointment) and not worry about talking about getting it wet.

WSC 3.2.40.0 Planning Mode

In planning mode is it possible to force the coverage area to be honored. I have several schools that I'm trying to use the Planning Mode with. All I can see is the standard resizable box. It isn't honoring the coverage areas I set up in the Floor Plan editor. Any help would be appreciated.

I contacted metalink on this issue. They indicated that JDK.1.5.0_04 has this bug.
Upgrading to the later versions of JDK1.5.0_04 will fix this problem.

That's a kernel panic and indicates some sort of problem either with the computer's hardware or software. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. It would help to post the panic log: Mac OS X- How to log a kernel panic.
Meanwhile, try booting the computers into Safe Mode then restarting normally. If this is simply a disk repair or cache file problem then this may fix it.
You can also try creating a new admin account on each computer then booting into the new account. This would help determine if the problem is related to a bad file in the user accounts.

Use of MRP Planning mode 2 and 3 in MD01,MD02,MD03

Hi
I am aware of Planning mode 1,2 and 3. . Planning file entry does the job of updating appropriate planning mode like Net change or Net change in horizon, BOM re-explode or reset proposal. But,I want to understand in what circumstances we prefer to go with planning mode 2 or 3 other than 1 in MD01 or MD02 or MD03 as anyway this is covered for all necessary items in planning file entry by system. I am fully aware of the functions of all three planning modes. Just I want to understand the situation in which it will be overwritten by user selecting 2 or 3 in MD01 or MD02 or MD03. Because I have never come across such situation where I deliberately run with planning mode 2 or 3 in MD01 or MD02 or MD03.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sudhar,
Planning Mode 1 is used when:
1.Changes in date and quantity
2.Requirement changes
3.Changes in the lot-sizing procedure or MRP type
Planning Mode 2 is used when:
1.Changes to the material BOM
2.Changes to the sales order BOM
3.Changes to the phantom assembly BOM
4.Changes to references assigned within BOM
5.Changes to material classification
Planning Mode 3 is used when:
1.In-house production time changes
2.Planned delivery time changes
3.Scheduling margin key changes
4.MRP controller changes

Hello chrispyw,
If your content is still being displayed incorrectly, I would check the resolution setting for the built in display with this article:
OS X Yosemite: Adjust your display’s resolution
If it keeps happening whenever you use AirPlay then I would use this section of the following article to reset the display system:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

HT201335 What causes the TV screen to freeze but sound continue on TV when using Air Play from I Phone?

What causes TV screen to freeze but sound continue on TV when using Air Play from I Phone 4?

First try rebooting ATV and router. Beyond that, it's probably something within the network, typically interference.
To get a report of the network go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC). Look for signal strength and noise.
If on wifi try ethernet.

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print onto a Canon 5350 (one of the printers ok'd by Apple) I am unable to change the print orientation from portrait to landscape. That is I change it in printer settings but no use.

I'm trying to print an Ancestry document from an iPad 2 using air print. The printer is a Canon MG5350 (on the Apple approved list) I have no difficulty printing but only in portrait format. I've tried changing printer preferences from my computer but even though the Canon accepts the changes it will not print landscape - can anyone advise please?

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

Can I use an radar alarm on my iphone 4, without passing by the telephone card, for example in plane mode? This question in order to avoid the roaming when I leave my country for a foreigner one

Hi there Eartley! That sounds like an amazing opportunity for you! I am glad you are going to be able to study in Italy. The iPhone 6 is an excellent phone to travel with and you should have no problems using a local SIM card while you are in Italy. While I have not been to Italy myself and can not make recommendations for service providers out there, our Global Support Team may be able to help out! Here is where you can get in touch with them http://vz.to/1DgQ1IJ . Have a great trip!

Can I use Targ. disk mode to add Tiger to a Mac mini G4 from an Intel iMac?

Hey all,
Last year I bought a 2.16 GHZ imac (intel duo core), I recently bought a used Mac mini on ebay for a gift for my mother (does not come with any software). She is dying to get an apple so I thought I would get her one. The mini is a 1.25 GHZ G4 PPC with 1 GB RAM and a 100 GB HDD. The person I am buying it from says that she tried to load Leopard and the install failed (something about firmware updates). I would like to add Tiger to it.
Here is my predicament...
I have the Tiger discs that came with my iMac. I have since bought and installed Leopard on my iMac. I was assuming that I could install my unused Tiger discs on the mini but have come to find out that is probably not going to work (discs are machine specific?).
So what I am wondering if there is a way to load Tiger onto the mini from the iMac using Target Disc Mode? If not, where can one find the unit specific version of 10.4? I just feel really dumb and thought that this would be an easier process. My mom's birthday is coming up soon and I just really want to have this done for her before it.
Another question, is anyone aware of what firmware updates the seller may have been alluding to?
I really do appreciate your time and assistance in this matter.
Thank you

Specifically this is the only order that will work with Target Disk Mode:
1. Setup the Mac with a broken or incompatible optical drive in target disc mode.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
2. Boot off Leopard or Tiger on the working optical drive of the non-target mode machine. Connect the two machines via Firewire cable.
3. Install Leopard or Tiger.
Since a PowerPC Mac won't boot an Intel Tiger, and the Intel Mac won't boot a PowerPC Tiger, the initial assumption here won't work with Target mode.

How to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS

Hi Guys,
Anybody out there knowing how to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS ?
I am having 1 ipa file created using Xcode, Now i need to include that file in my ipa Package which is created using Flash CS 5.5 and Air for iOS. Also i need to know how to open my 1st ipa file from AS3 ?
Thanks,

Hi Sir,

But in that case user need to download 2 applications right. I need user to download my parent application created using Flash and that package contain one more ipa created using Xcode, so from my parent app only user should able to open my 2nd app. Is there any way to do that?
Ps: I am not talking about in-app but 2 individual apps inside one package.
