How did you activate your iPhone4?

Reason I ask is because, like others, I also have the antennae "issue". But no other issue. In fact, the phone seems to be functioning perfectly so far. Please report your activation stats. Here are mine:
Computer/Platform: MacBookPro/OS Leopard
Activated as: New Device (NOT from back-up)
I synced all contacts from MobileMe. All other content through iTunes. Did not sync any photos.
No perceivable issues so far. Device works as expected.
Another reason I ask is because my 3GS had a terrible screen-freeze problem for which there was never any resolution. And, after countless visits to the Apple store, about the only thing they could suggest was to delete all content and reactivate as a "new" device. Something I was reticent to do at the time, figuring I'd just wait for the next phone to do this... make a fresh start, etc.
Now, I had originally activated that phone on a Windows machine from a backup (which, when I told the Apple genius, illicited an "aha"). And now I'm wondering if it makes any difference at all.
Like I said... no other issues I can see on this iPhone4.
How have others activated? And what (if any) issues exist on their phones?
Curious.

I think all of the new phones have the same antennae "issue" to one extent or another, regardless of how they were activated. Really what I'd like to see are any of the other issues about which I've been reading.

HT1386 How do you activate your iPod without having to connect it to iTunes? I didn't have that problem with the iPad.

How do you activate your iPod without having to connect it to iTunes?

If the iPod has iOS 5 you can set it up via wifi.
What is current status of the iPod?

Professionals, how did you get your start?

I know there are many people on here who earn a living working as professionals. I was just curious, how did you get your start?
I plan to attend Ohio University this fall to major in video production within the Scripps School of Communication. OU is well known for their school of communication, but obviously just having a good name behind your major doesn't guarantee a job.
What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers? Any other advice that you have to share?
Thanks in advance
D

I started out as an apprentice editor on a feature film. Got the job mainly because I fixed the director's assistant's computer during my interview. Knowing how to use the Avid (thanks to film school) helped too.
I started at the bottom, and worked my way up. Gaining knowledge as I went. Apprentice editor, to tape vault manager, to post coordinator, to assistant editor, to online editor, back to assistant, then to editor. 6 years from the day I started apprenticing until the day I started editing a broadcast show.
>What did you do to make yourself more marketable to potential employers?
Learned the ins and outs of the edit systems. I could troubleshoot them if they were broken, and knew the workflows for multiple shooting formats. Was able to make the decision on edit systems to use and workflows to employ when presented with the shooting format, and delivery specs. I learned all that from on the job training, and trolling the web for resources. And a lot of work on my own.
>Any other advice that you have to share?
Work your @$$ off! If you think the job is below you, and act that way, you won't get hired again. Don't think that you will start off right away as an editor, or DP, or director. Starting out as an assistant is a great way to learn all that you need to learn to perform your job. Because right out of film school, you don't know what you don't know. But work hard, be dependable, and you will get hired again and again.

How did you get your first Flex developer job???

Hi guys..
I know it might not be relevant for this forum, but I am dying to know how you guys get your first flex developer job. I am actually more interested in your resume. What sort of skill did you guys put on your resume? Thanks for the reply....:D

Started as a pure "Java/J2EE" dev. Rebelled and added Flex to my skill set (since JSP is sin on par with 'AJAX frameworks'), started new project using Flex.
In other words one way is to take ownership of a Java (or other) project, and force the bast... er, have your project team use Flex. he he
But this is the long path, of course. To start off in Flex (besides the obvious of looking for it by name) you'd probably focus on UI design skills/experience and competing (but crummy and old) front-end technologies, and then lobby for the Flex SDK on any new projects that come along (assuming it's a good fit). I suspect you'd have a tougher time if you're going into an organization which already has some late-generation RIA tech in use, such as Silverlight or GWT (bleh), but the ones still saying "JSP" or "AJAX" and any other associated legacy HTML-type technologies are soft targets.

How did you know your idevice will be activation lock ?

I bought used iPad mini (only the body) at present it's work well I could use my Apple ID, buy some apps and update the FW via OTA. I heard from amny person If I restore and maybe it could not work unless I do not know the username and password of the previous owener (Activation Locked). My iPad mini will be a piece of junk only.
My question is how did I know my current iPad mini will be Activation Locked if I do the restore ? Do we have the method to check ?

And how should I know my device was enabled the Find my Phone already ?
The way to know would be to look in the iCloud settings to see if Find My iPhone is set. If you can't set into those settings, then it's highly probable that it's set and hence Activation Lock will be in effect.
Because If the previous was never enable it, it should be ok from Activation lock right ?
If you are certain that the previous owner never set up Find My iPad, then Activation Lock would not be a concern.
Regards.

How do you activate an iphone4??

Hello Everyone, im hoping you can help me.
I recently ungraded my phone from an iphon4 to an iphone 5c, I sold my old iphone 4 to a friend and in order for them to activate it they needed me to enter my Apple ID and password. So i DID. However it will not activate the iphone and we dont know why, my apple ID and password are correct and I was the only previouse owner of the phone becasue i brought it NEW. So now I need help because I dont know how to unlock it so they can use it.
When we connect the phone to Itunes it says that "XXXXXXXXXX@XXXXXXXX cannot be used to activate

You need to do this or walk your friend through the process:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Off
Settings > FaceTime > Off
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (this only unregisters and deletes it off the iPhone)
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
More Info... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661
(thanks to paulcb for the wording)
If the iPhone is asking for an AppleID other than the one you used to activate the 4,
you will need to contact that person for assistance. If you are the original owner
of the iPhone 4 and have the original purchase receipt, take the iPhone 4 into Apple
to see if they can assist you. If they iPhone 4 was used before you got it, you
need assistance from the original owner.

Unbrick stories?? How did you get your Pod working again?

Have read and read about one bricked Pod after another. Perhaps a thread on unbricking would be helpful. How about responses from those who posted that they had "bricked" their Pods? Any solutions (aside from the obvious - don't upgrade to 1.1). Did anyone discover that a brick was due to something other than the 1.1 update? How are the "dead" Pods being fixed. Obviously there are problems, like the hiss and sound quality issues. But the ultimate problem is bricking. I am just curious as to what people are doing with their Classic Pods to "fix the brick." Any solutions??

Disk Mode lets you 'end' the 'iPod booting' circle (i.e. when your iPod keeps showing the Apple logo, then clicks, and starts the boot cycle again). As soon as the iPod starts this 'boot cycle', press the 'play' and the 'select' buttons at the same time for a couple of seconds.
The screen will turn white and you are now running the iPod in Disk Mode.
You can now connect it back to your iTunes, and from there run another synch, or restore the iPod, using the restore function in iTunes.
I hope this helps.

How did you fixed your headphone jack breaking since verizon sucks at customer service

My headphone jack literally just stopped working. All the stuff I have read online is showing that most LG G2 users have this exact problem. I would like to know how to get mine fixed since verizon is sending me on a rat race to find out what to do.

There has been no damage to the phone. I have tried four different head phones. When it started all i had to do was twist the head phone and the phone would lose connection. When that happens on the LG it completely stops playing music, turns the display screen on, and sometimes changed settings while in my pocket. I used compressed air to try to clean it and a paper clip. Shortly after it completely stopped working unless i held it in place which of course is horribly annoying. I use my phone with its million features and apps to basically make phone calls, text, flash light, and you guessed it, listen to music. Without music i have , literally, little use for this phone. Trying to contact customer service has been extraordinarily frustrating. I called the store i bought the phone and told the girl working that from what i read online, this phone suffers from this problem a lot. To me that means the manufacturer is selling faulty product that will knowingly break. And of all things, the head phone Jack? They've been around for how many years now? The girl working agreed with me that they break often and told me to remove the battery and put it back in. On a phone that doesn't allow you to remove the battery. Then she gives me a number i call that then tells me to get some other phone to call a different number which is not what i need. I need information on how to fixed or have it replaced. I had purchased insurance but when my card maxed the insurance plan was cancelled. I've had it for over a year so the warranty is gone. Now I have a phone that doesn't do the one thing i like it to do While employees admit to me they break often over the very problem i presented. Very frustrating to buy a phone, which by the way is really a great phone, that can no longer do what my 20 year old CD player can still do, connect to the headphone jack.

If you aren't receiving password reset emails and your security questions don't work, someone has hijacked your account.
This happened to me.
You need to use Expresslane to contact iTunes support to regain access to your account ASAP.

How did you feel about your first mac?

As an early christmas present I received a 13 inch macbook air, 2GB RAM and 1.86GHz dual core cpu.
I am mostly used to PC laptops running linux or often I put solaris on them. I study Computer Science and have Asperger's Syndrome.
I got my mac as windows had too much bloatware and Linux was too unstable on my 64-bit hardware (needed 6 GiB RAM for large compilations). I was going to use the macbook air to take notes and some minor work between classes such as writing assembly subroutines, C and java. The primary use of this system was going to be as a personal assistant to have my calendar and files etc.
The system is so powerful with a full 12 hours battery life when working on the localhost that it can out-do a 2.4GHz dual core with 6 GiB RAM PC running any OS. This system is now used for all my work due to it's capabilities and portability. After only one week with a mac I dont know how I lived without one, and my carer says it has made me show immense improvements day-to-day. I am now tempted to learn Objective-C as well as how to use Cocoa from Python to be more efficient, especially after seeing the perfection in this system.
How did you feel when you got your first mac?

A related question might be, what did you think about the introduction of the IBM PC?
I had been designing digital systems and working with computers for a few years before the PC's introduction in 1981. The mainstay systems were 8 bit Z80 or 8085 machines running at 4 or 6 MHz. They ran CP/M with its command line interface. Although the maximum memory these systems could use was 64 MB, being a single user, single-task operating sytem, even the most resource-hungry programs (word processors for instance) ran very fast. CP/M itself needed only a few K.
Dual floppy disk systems were common, 180 KB per disk unless you had double sided floppies - 360 K. The A drive booted the operating system, after which you could insert a program disk. The B drive held your data. I had one machine with a whopping 5 MB hard disk - the C drive. I treated it with special reverence.
When rumors began about IBM producing its version of a desktop PC, many people including myself had grand expectations. Clearly Big Blue would emerge as the leader in desktop computers, since they had the resources to dictate what the standard would be. Everyone knew the others would be left in the dust. What kind of processor would it use? How much memory? Would it have a slimmed down version of the multiuser, multitasking operating system used in its System/34 minicomputer? Or would it resemble something that DEC used in its PDP-11?
Well, when the IBM PC came out in 1981, needless to say it was an enormous disappointment. It wasn't much better than anything else I had already been using for three or four years already, except the PC was much, much more expensive. No hard disk unless you wanted to buy an upgraded power supply (more $$$) and then all they offered was 10 MB. Forget about multiple users or multitasking. It didn't even have the equivalent of CP/M's PIP. The whole thing seemed... intentionally crippled. This was supposed to be the future of computing? In my opinion it was a major step backward. The XT that followed it offered only minimal improvements. I rejected the IBM PC as not cost effective and kept using my CP/M dinosaurs.
So, when Apple introduced the Macintosh a couple years later I finally saw, in the flesh, what I thought a computer ought to be. A totally bit mapped display, a robust 16/32 bit processor, real sound capability (everything before it could only "beep") and a true graphical UI. You could name a file anything you want, no 8x3 idiocy. +To this day+ Windows carries remnants of 8x3 filenames!
The Macintosh blew away the PC, if not in performance, in its potential. Unlike the "crippled" PC the Mac seemed limitless. This was cool. The Mac wasn't without limitations though - there was no good way to install a hard disk for instance - but for some reason I considered those limitations trivial and believed they would be overcome in the near future. I waited for the first "upgrade" - the "Fat Mac" with a whopping 512K memory. Half a megabyte!
I used that computer for several years, until the SE/30 came out, which I kept in service for about ten years. I ultimately expanded its memory to 32 MB while PC users were struggling with extended memory or expanded memory - you had to know which was which - to get beyond the PC's stupid 640K barrier. My 30 MB HD eventually grew small, but that was easily remedied with an external SCSI drive. Although the computer did everything I ever expected it to do, the Internet eventually made it functionally obsolete. It could run a browser (forget which one) but the black and white limitation made it marginally useful.
I eventually replaced it with an iMac, which echoed the original Mac's introduction with its forward-thinking design. The iMac opened up a new world in much the same way the original Macintosh did in 1984.
All my Macs still work.

That pretty much sums it up.
In retrospect, I believe that IBM and its marriage of convenience with Microsoft delayed the evolution of desktop computing a decade or more. I cringe whenever I think of the aggregate productivity loss and utter frustration shared by millions of PC / Windows devotees all these years.

How do you get your imessage to activate on your phone number and not your email

Okay, you're on a popular network. (Some prepaid providers have issues)
I'm on 3 Austria, iMessage is working fine here, so you may want to talk to 3 for any tips.
Have you tested to see if FaceTime is working? If it is, try re-activating iMessage.
