  • How does the newest Iphone work with Ford Sync?

    How does the new Iphone work with Ford Sync? I was thinking of purchasing the 4s but may go elsewhere if there is a better phone for the equipment in my vehicle.

    That would be a NO.. I should have done my homework before I switched to IPhone because the Bluetooth just does not want to sync with my Ford Truck. Its such an inconvience. But I see from other posts that Ford isn't the only car experiencing problems. So Hopefully Apple fixes this problem QUICKLY!

  • How does reserving new iphone work

    Does anyone know the policies for ordering a new iphone?

    There is no new iPhone to order, therefore there is no policy to know.  If an when one is announced, you will be able to find out from Apple what the policies are.

  • Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own? If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps? How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two? also I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?

    Is it possible to have your whole family on one apple id or is it better to have each person have there own?
    Yes, it is possible. 1 apple ID can be associated with up to 10 devices.
    If each has their own does each id have to buy their own music and apps?
    Yes, all purchases are non-transferable.
    How does find my iphone work with one apple id or two?
    Every device associated with one apple ID through Find my iPhone is tied to that Apple ID; Find my iPhone will work in the same way with up to ten devices associated with one apple ID. You cannot enable Find my iPhone for one device across two apple IDs
    I am going to be going off to college soon should I make an itunes id for my self and how will I get all the music from the old id?
    If you have authorized a computer with the old apple ID, you can transfer old media purchased through the old to other devices via iTunes. This doesn't mean the media purchases through the old apple ID it transferred to the new account. If you plan to make future purchases and don't wish to share them with others, make your own apple ID.

  • How does "notify me" actually work in mail app

    I get the principal but surely when you get a reply thats already noticed you?
    Could someone advise me how it actually notifies and is it in addition to receiving the reply to the mail?

    I have the columns in place. But I have a few questions -
    1. Iis there some kind of audit trail report on the updates to my record to the table? If so how do I get to see?
    2. Am I expected to create a <entity name>_HISTORY table for this to work? I see some such recommendation  here .

  • How does the new iPhone 6/iWatch know whether I'm standing or sitting?

    I work long hours standing and I'm wondering how does the new iPhone/iWatch knows whether I'm standing or sitting down?  And what if I leave my iPhone on the table but I'm walking around with just my iWatch on the wrist, is the new Health App going to be keeping track of my walking around the office?

    You will know when you buy them and use them. No one here can answer that question yet.

  • How does business catalyst really work?

    So i've tried to reach this and cant seem to find answers in plain english.... How does Business Catalyst really work?.. functionally.
    1) I have a hosting service with godaddy and jumpline, I have a lot of space and do all of my client's websites through the space I have with those two plans, do they offer the business catalyst format? Just buy that platform with them or have it added?
    2) I have CC, business catalyst "comes with" it.... how does that work? Am I given space on someone elses server somewhere or do I just have the ability to upload the BC software onto a server I have... in which case could it be uploaded to godaddy or jumpline?
    3) The new MUSE features can only be done with business catalyst right?

    Hi,
    Business Catalyst is a web hosting platform that lets web designers host, build, and sell websites to clients. You use Muse to create and update a website. You use Business Catalyst to host it. A Muse subscription includes free hosting on Business Catalyst for one site. A Creative Cloud membership includes free hosting for five sites.
    Regarding your Creative Cloud Subscription, with BC. You must install and use Muse/Dreamweaver to publish your free sites. For More details, Please refer to the article below
    http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/using/business-catalyst-muse-users.html
    The new Muse feature, like in Browser editing is compatible only with Business Catalyst, but the other feature like Parallex Scrolling works on all the other hosting as well, like Godaddy.
    If you still have any query, please let us know and we will try to resolve it.
    Thanks.

  • How does the .accept() method work?

    Hi,
    I have checked the source code of the ServerSocket implementation that comes with the jdk.
    I tought I was going to find some type of loop. However I found nothing like that! so how does the accept method work.
    I mean when we call the .accept() method, the thread in which the socketServer is initialized gets stoped untill a new client connection is recieved! how is this actually managed?
    Regards,
    Sim085

    At a guess, the accept call that Java makes, relies on the OS system call through JNI. accept would then block until a new connection is present if you are using blocking.

  • How does the trade in work?

    How does the trade in work. If you don't get your gift card until 4-6 weeks after you mail it. How do you apply it to the cost of the new phone?  If I go to a store that has it in stock will they give you the credit in the store?

        Hi Karen922!
    I can happily alleviate the confusion! If you visit a store and the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus is available you'll receive the trade in value during the transaction. If the device is purchased online,via the phone or if the store is out of stock, you'll receive the gift card in mail.

  • How does the time machine work

    how does the time machine work....I need to find an older version of a document...

    Hi mogburn,
    Time Machine is part of the System software, not a feature of the word processing and page layout application, Pages, the topic in this community.
    That said, Time Machine is pretty easy to get into.
    In the Finder, open the folder containing the current version of the file.
    Select the file, then click on the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time machine.
    The folder window will move to the center of the screen, and two arrows will appear near the lower right corner of the window.
    Click the one pointing back to go back in time, and the one pointing toward the front (of the computer) to return to the present. The display will stop at each saved version of the file along the way.
    Need more details? Try asking in the Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard community.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?

    Just found in legacy code the following:
    private var firstRect:Rectangle;
    private var secondRect:Rectangle;
    if (firstRect < secondRect)
    // do something
    How does operator 'less than' work with Rectangle objects?
    Doc says that object is converted to number if it is not a String.
    Rectangle is not a String, though has conversion to String.
    Please help.

    IME the best way to know for sure is to experiment. The docs are only one person's best understanding of how things worked on the day, which is seldom 100% accurate. I find that even with code I wrote I can't accurately say 100% of what it does until I've worked with it for a while. Keep in mind that the docs are usually written when the code is written, so  never expect more than a rough idea from the docs.

  • How does the sync functionality work with large libraries on small devices?

    How does the sync functionality work with large libraries?
    Say I sync 100gb of photos with the new Photos app and turn on sync on a 16gb iphone. Will it fill the device up to 16gb? Can I tell it to limit to xgb so I leave room for music and apps? How does this work? Will it slow down my phone if its trying to sync 100gb across smaller devices?

    "Will the Apple TV now read directly from the Time Capsule?" ATV does not 'read' from the TC. It connects to the Mac and itunes library associated with the Mac. Of course the itunes program can 'point' to a library on the TC. You'll still need to have itunes open and the Mac powered on and not sleeping with the TC mounted to the Desktop to use ATV properly. So bottom line the use of TC just adds one more step to view files on the ATV.
