How many of you are having these reported problems with the iPhone 5?
I'm thinking of getting an iPhone 5 after the 11th, when my current iPhone 4 contract expires.
With my luck with Apple products I'll probably get one with all the problems you read about:
- light leaks,
- bubbles on the screen,
- yellow tints,
- reversed volume buttons,
- scratches out-of-the-box...
How prevelant are these? Did your iPhone 5 have any of the above? Any other common problems?
I would wait until things "settle down" but I only have a window of one month in which I can switch providers without penalty if I decide to do that (crazy Japan system).
Thanks,
doug
My two new phones will arrive tomorrow, but honestly, I don't expect any issues, like with every other iOS based device I've bought. Just remember that coming on these forums, is kind of like visiting a hospital and thinking that everyone on the planet must be sick. The "gruntled" of this world are usually the loudest, while the usually very happy are nowhere to be seen or heard from.
I have at least a dozen friends who have already gotten their new iPhone 5. Not one of them has any issues. None. No light bleeding. No scuffs (oh sure, you can scratch the new phone if you try, it is afterall cased in annodized aluminum - so use a case to keep it pristine), no reverse volume buttons (I hadn't even heard that one), no bubbles, well you get the idea.
I suspect you can buy without fear and I'm sure you'll really be pleased you did.

How many of you are willing to line up at the stores like we did for the launch to demand justice?
Frankly, I'd be encouraged to see people actually get off the 'net and go out on the streets. Me? I'll save my shoes for things like:
Stopping a war on Iran.
Actually voting so that massive vote fraud does not matter.
Changing fund policy so the dollar does not collapse, so we'll still be able to buy cool gadgets manufactued in China.
Making sure there is no draft so my son does not go to war.
Ensuring that executive orders don't suspend government in the event of another terrorist attack.
Am I loosing perspective here? I consider myself lucky, if not a bit foolish, to have been able to get an iPhone on day zero.
I still want a credit, but is this the only thing that gets us mad enough these days?
Ok, back to your regularly scheduled support forum.Please tell me that there are others who touch their phone and feel somewhat dirty, but very priviledged and are willing to see things for what they are.
Oh, and please tell me Apple has a strategy for allowing me to develop legit 3rd party apps too.
And the credit thing too. So I can buy more Apple stuff and feel good about it.

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respondGenieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:

Do not use the Genieo uninstaller! -
HT4718 are there any reported problems with safari with the new OS X Mavericks?
My early 2008 iMac running OS X 10.9.2 all of the sudden has problems loading pages in safari. The problem timing is the same as the upgrade to Maverick. The computer is connecting to wifi and other devices such as iPhones and three PCs have no problems. The ISP is Xfinity. Are there any reported problems with Maverick and Safari?
Try searching.

My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget
My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget that I can not figure out how to correct.
I created a website for a client and inserted a Contact Form widget on their 'Contact Us' page. Whenever anyone uses the form, the e-mail my client receive shows my e-mail address as the sender. So, when they 'reply' to the e-mail, the reply is sent to me and not the person who sent the original message. This creates a major problem in that I get barraged with e-mail replies while my client's potential customers go without a response.
When I look at 'Site Manager > System E-Mails > Workflow Information > E-mail From Address' on the site's Admin Console, it shows my e-mail information. Is this is what needs to be changed? If it is, what needs to be placed in that field so that the e-mail my client receives shows the senders e-mail information in the 'From' field. My client wants to be able to click reply and have the message sent to the right party. They would be very upset if they have to cut and past the senders e-mail address from the body text on every contact they receive.
Their feeling is that if I can't find a way to make the contact form work the way it should, then it's useless to them.
Can anyone help me figure this out? I really don't want to disappoint my first client.Are you on a plan that has the CRM feature that stores your customers' data? If so, the idea of the contact form is that you'll receive a notification that there's been an inquiry filled out on your contact form and there should be a link in that email notification that leads to the "Case" that was created when that customer filled out a contact form. You can click that link and visit the case for that customer in your BC site and reply to them from there so that all of the correspondence is logged in the CRM for safe-keeping and for your records.
If your client finds this is too much work to login to BC to reply every time, then you should check to see if you have the "Customer Service Ticketing" feature on your hosting plan. This is a feature where you create a dedicated email account (like [email protected]) and the BC system will automatically login to that email account and pull any emails in that inbox and convert them to a customer case for the sender of the email and then it will send out a notification via email to any of the BC Admin users you delegate as "Customer Service Agents". Since the CST integrates with the BC CRM it lets you reply directly within the email-- but when you reply it will be going to that same email address dedicated to the CST but once the CST service checks your email again and sees that you replied to this inquiry it will log your reply against the customer's case and sends your reply via email back to them so that all the correspondance gets logged on BC's CRM but you can still reply via email.
There's no way to use the default web forms to update the "From" or "Reply-To" address.. it must come from an approved email address to avoid spam issues. On most web services you cannot change the "from" address anyway but usually you can at least specify the "Reply-To" address so that when someone hits "reply" in their email client it will reply to whoever you setup as the "Reply-To" address.
Here's some more information about CST: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/customer-service-ticketing.html?bc-partner
I don't think the CST feature is in the webMarketing BC plan-- I think it's only in the webCommerce plan so if you have less than an webCommerce plan you have to tell your client to reply through BC by clicking the link in the notification they get. You can justify it by saying its one or two more steps but it keeps the entire convo on record in their CRM for easy referral later. -
Anyone have a problem with the iPhone 6 freezing when you're trying to send a text?
I seem to be having a couple of problems with the iPhone 6 or possibly the update 8.1.2. Sometimes when I turn the phone horizontally to text, nothing happens and it only works if I turn it back vertically. Also, sometimes when I receive a call from someone who is already on my contact list, only the number shows up and not the name or picture connected with that contact. It appears when I answer, but sometimes I don't want to answer if I don't recognize the number.
Anyone else having these issues? Do we need another update to the software to fix these problems?How much available storage do you have on your iPhone? You can find this at Settings>General>Usage
If your available space is measured in megabytes (MB) then it is causing problems for your phone's operating system.
If your available space is measured in gigabytes (GB) then that isn't the source of the problems and you can move to some other troubleshooting steps. First, try a simple restart (holding the sleep wake button for about 5 seconds until the power off slider appears).
If the problems reoccur after you've restarted the phone, I recommend Reset All Settings, which is located in Settings>General>Reset -
I'm having an unusual problem with my iphone 4S. When I'm making a call, it suddenly sounds like my call has been invaded by aliens! Why is it doing this? I'm also having problems sending texts. Sometimes it sends sometimes it doesn't. What is going on? Can it be fixed? I'm really not liking this new phone!!!!
Could be an issue with your Carrier and/or location...
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Try a Reset...
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release the buttons...

HT4993 i been having sim card problems with my iphone 5. am i the only one?
i been having sim card problems with my iphone 5. am i the only one?
Hello,
I'm also had problems with Iphone 5 , it read no sim card, i solved problem by removing sim card and cleaning with alcohol and q-tip and installing back.
Shut down phone.
On the side of phone , you will see a small pin hole, insert paper clip and sim card will come out, be careful to do it over a clean towel as not to let drop on floor, make sure your hands clean while doing this.
Insert sims card back and turn on, it should work again.
Good Luck. -

Message was edited by: heytheredude878You need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first. Contact Apple to buy a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard system requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
Once you have Snow Leopard, you can upgrade to whatever your MacBook will support.
There is no need for sequential upgrades. The reason Snow Leopard is a prerequisite for further upgrades is that it includes the App Store. All OS versions subsequent to Snow Leopard are distributed that way. -
How can I report problems with the Mozilla support website?
Of course this is a problem with the website, not with Firefox, but "other products" is a dead end. I have sensory disabilities, so these are some of the bugs I've noticed, I don't know what bugs other people have noticed:
1. There are too many animations. They hurt.
2. Searching for "accessibility" turns up questions and answers using the word "access," which usually have jack to do with accessibility problems, accessibility solutions, accessibility tools for Firefox, etc. for disabled users.'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/ Flash block]''' {web link}
Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it
won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it
This is probably a good site to be aware of
http://www.accessfirefox.org/Firefox_Accessibility_Extensions.php
It is a semi official mozilla community run site.
IIRC the site and many of its addons were caught out by Australis.
That is probably one site we should reach out to in advance if for instance making anything less distinct smaller, or lower contrast. -
Whilst playing Clash of Clans I will continually lose the internet connection. This means that I lose battles, resources, gold etc and lose boost times. I have informed Supercell who blame my internet connection even though the iPhone, laptop and TV all work fine so it is obviously a technical problem with their game and probably something to do with their last updates.
As I have purchased gems I feel that I should be compensated for my loss but they will not accept responsibility nor investigate the technical issue. The loss of connection occurs constantly with the game often freezing during replays or searching for battles. This is obviously not a connection issue.
What suggestions do you have to resolve this situation?Hi.
Thanks for the reply. I asked because I also wanted to see if others had encountered the same problem.
I have no problems with my internet connection as I run my TV, laptop and iPhone off the same connection with no problems. I believe that since the recent updates to the game this has caused the problem. The game often freezes, cancels out or returns me to the main game screen during battles or replays.
What I want to know is how do I get the game designers or owners to acknowledge my problem as at this time they keep telling me it is my internet that is a problem and not their game. How do they know this when they refuse to investigate. What can I do and who do I go to for support if they won't accept responsibility?
I am very grateful to you for replying but concerned that if this can happen to me then how many other gamers are losing out and paying for something that they are not going to receive.
Many thanks. -
I am having a strange problem with the awesome bar
The awesome bar/location bar is no longer as awesome as it used to be. When I start typing in an address it seems like it no longer checks through my history and gives a list of possible matches but just gives the stem of an address. For example, if I type in 'goo' it will complete this to 'google.com' if I then append this with an '/a' it will complete this to 'google.com/analytics' but that's as good as it gets, as I say, no list from the history or bookmarks.
I've checked the options and also about:config and all the settings are as they should be, as far as I can tell (and I certainly hadn't changed any of them when it started misbehaving). I've also disabled all extensions and plug-ins.
It's driving my slightly bonkers because I quite often use sites with long addresses and can't remember each of the components of each address. I'd switch to using Chrome but I also use Firebug a fair bit so don't really want to do this.Hi cowtan, <br/>Sorry you are having problems with the awesome bar.
I imagine the new behaviour may be reversed by changing some pref but I have not looked that up.
Regardless of the new behaviour you seem to have some fault as my awesomebar still gives bookmarked items.
As a troubleshooting step try adding an asterisk in the awesomebar (as first character or anywhere) that should then filter the results in the dropdown list to bookmarked only items, does that work ?
* see [[Search your bookmarks, history and tabs with the Awesome Bar#w_changing-results-on-the-fly]]_changing-results-on-the-fly
You possibly have some extension interfering with the awesome bar, try Firefox in safe mode (but do NOT* at this stage try the Reset Firefox option)
<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''edit''' - personal opinion, if a user; such as you; is knowledgeable enough to use ''about.config'' the easy solution of ''FirefoxReset ''is probably not the best route, as it can have unwanted side effects that are avoidable.
* [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
Do your bookmarked items appear in safe mode ?
<u>Try a new Profile.</u><br/>The best method for troubleshooting this will be to set up a new Firefox profile, you can then: experiment, troubleshoot, alter settings or extensions installed in that profile without changing and potentially damaging your current profile.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
I suggest to prevent unexpected problems you
* use a sensible name such as test 2012 for the profile name
* ensure an empty folder is used & do not then rename or delete the new profile (instead add or delete shortcuts to it)
* also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
