How can i disable iphone 4s apple email, and substitute gmail app, which allows for replies, compose, send
iphone4s built-in email is frustrating because it does not allow for replies to incoming mail; deletions and archiving, composing new mail, et al., as gmail does.. is it possible to disable or eliminate iphone email app and sub for gmail app, which i use regulary, just as i do on my laptop?
if not, what alternative solutions exist?
thanks very much.,
In the native iOS app, if you set the default behavior to send a deleted message to Trash, you can still Archive it by moving it to "All Mail" in the same way you can move a message to any other folder.
As for the GMail app, I don't see a need for it but I suppose it depends on what you want. You can have multiple GMail accounts set up on your device with the iOS Mail app, but if you want a quick way to switch between accounts you can use the GMail app for a particular account and iOS Mail for another. Beyond that I don't see any advantage to the GMail app, other than maybe a priority Inbox. The iOS Mail app can do push notifications for GMail if you set it up as an Exchange account (see below), so they're equivalent in that regard.
Since you're a GMail user, you might want to delete your GMail account in iOS settings and re-create it as an Exchange account. That way you get push notifications, and your GMail contacts automatically remain synced between GMail and your device (over the air, no need to re-sync to iTunes). To do this, read the article below:
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?l=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
One caveat though: When you set GMail up as an Exchange account, the default behavior of deleting a message is Archive (even though the button will say Delete). To change this default, the only way is to use your iPhone's Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync after you set up your Exchange account on your iPhone. There you can change the behavior to actually delete a message when you tap Delete. Other than that little task (a one-time thing) you'll be set.

Since the unlocked iPhone 5 is not yet available in Brazil http://store.apple.com/br/browse/home/shop_iphone I would say the smartest thing to do would be to wait until it goes on sale there.

how can I delete an old Apple account and transfer it to a new one?
Welcome to the Apple community.
You can delete an existing account from your device and create a new one and start using it. But I'm not sure what you mean by transfer. -

How can i sign out of apple id and create new one without it effecting my other devices using my existing apple id
Content is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the old one, then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps or to re-download its past purchases. If you didn't create a new account but instead updated your old one then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in

How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?
How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?
One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another. You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID. -

How can we disable " XDB Requires a username and password"?
Hello,
I've just performed an Apex 4 installation on top of a DB 11.2.0.2.
All is fine.
No problem fine with FF, IE and Safari, but with Chrome I always have a pop up saying " The server XXXX: port at XDB requires a username and password".
How can I disable that, or fix it definitively?
Thanks
FredSure.
On my system Anonymous and XDB account were already unlocked and both used the same password.
I simply executed the PL/SQL block that you can find here: http://www.apexexplorer.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/XDB-Password-Issue.pdf
I bounced the listener.
Hope that help

How can I set up my Apple TV if I only have one spot for an HDMI cable.
how do I hook up my apple tv if I only have one spot for an HDMI cable.
How many different devices (DVD player, cable box, etc.) do you have besides the Apple TV to connect to your TV? If you aren't going to use any of these others, you won't need a switcher.
Also, depending on the device & what other kinds of inputs your TV might have, you may be able to hook them up to other inputs besides your only HDMI one. The quality might be lower for them, & you might have to use several cables for sound & video, but that might end up being acceptable if you use your ATV much more often than the others. -
