I want my phone to do this...

just got a 3GS moved from a windows mobile phone and there are a few things that seems to be missing and it's aggrevating me.
1. email accounts using pop servers I can't make a new folder. I want to create a new folder so I can save emails but not keep them in the inbox.
2. notifications for missed calls, text and email. when I press the home button to turn the screen on I want to see if there us any new items. I have to unlock the phone then press power button to lock again. it would be much simpler if I could just press home and see if there is anything there instead of all the extra steps. A blinking light would be perfect, every other phone I had had an indicator to let you know just by looking at the phone if there was something new. I'm tired of unlocking and locking the phone all day long to check.
3. can I change the way the text message appears? I don't like the cartoon bubble look it takes up too much space. All I want is a simple threaded text with time stamp on all incoming and outgoing messages.
4. how many texts does this thing hold? is it limited by memory or is it a function of time.
5. for the call history is there a way to pick a contact and see all incoming/outgoing/missed calls for that number? seems like i have to individually pick each day to see what happen (ie: monday, tuesday) it won't sort by contact but by day.

1. Not possible.
2. Not available, suggest it to Apple as per the previous posters link.
3. Not possible, it is as it is.
4. Limited by storage space only as far as I am aware.
5. Not possible.

Please, help me :)

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

Erased all content on 3G but now won't sync with iTunes. Error states, "This iPhone cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started." I don't want phone service on this old 3G. Just want to use it as an iTouch. Any suggestions?

UCCX 9.0- My customer wants only ziptone in headset for new call to agent, no ringing on Phone.
Can this be done? I can't seem to find a way to do this natively.

Yes, I looked into that option. They don't want that because some agents have been known to walk away from their desk without going not ready.
Thanks for the quick response!

I have a 4s Iphone and want to add a date and time stamp to photos taken on the regular camera installed on the phone. Does this require a separate app?

For such to be visible, yes. Many such apps in the app store.

why don't you post using full words, no abbreviations, and proper punctuation? Then perhaps your question will actually be legibile.

Lost phone by transit...I just want my phone back

Ok so my iphone 5s which was in top condition because i went out and bought an otter box. So over time i released i started having problems with my speakers. For example: if i put my phone on my speaker the person on the other side could not hear me. So i checked my warranty and since i got the phone in January its still covered. The phone is an gold edition iphone 5s. I called apple and they sent me a box where i could place my phone in and ship it back to apple. Now i have done this many times before with my other iphones because for some reason i always get broken iphones without softwares. So i get the box on 09/13/2014 and on Tuesday night which goes to Wednesday mail time 9/17/2014 my phone is in the mail place waiting to be shipped. Now i go online 9/21/201 and see that for the service request is still on step 1. Now as i noted i have done this plenty of times before with apple and i have gotten a replacement/returned phone within three days. So since it hasnt moved from step one i was worried and contacted apple. They have no information on my phone or where it might be at all. Fedex has no idea where my phone might be. My apartment has had no returned products back to my place. So i contact apple again and apparently their customer service has no online chat you have to call. Thing is i dont have a phone and cant borrow one. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET MY PHONE BACK, MY LITTLE MIND TOLD ME NOT TO SEND IT IN BUT I DID ANYWAY AND NOW IM STUCK WITHOUT A PHONE AND APPLE DOESNT CARE. I WILL NEVER EVER SEND MY PHONE TO EVER GET REPAIRED IF I GET THIS ONE BACK. I PULLED ALL A.S IN SCHOOL SO THAT I COULD BUY MYSELF THIS GIFT AND NOW ITS GONE.
I WILL TAKE IT BACK UNPAIRED AND WILL EVEN PAY FOR THE FREAKING SHIPPING, I JUST WANT MY PHONE BACK
P.S. IVE TALKED WITH ONLINE SUPPORT AND THEY KEEP SAYING IS THAT THEIR NOT QUALIFIED FOR MY TYPE OF PROBLEM AND KEEP TRANSFERRING ME TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH 10MINUTE WAITS BETWEEN PEOPLE AND THEN THEY KEEP SAYING THEY ARE TRULY SORRY BUT DONT DO A SINGLE THING. ALL THEY SAY IS THAT ITS LOST IN TRANSIT.
DO YOU THINK THERES ANY CHANCE I CAN GET MY PHONE BACK????

I would assume you copied the tracking number on the package? If so, simply go to Fedex (or whatever carrier it was) and check that tracking number and/or call them to ask what happened to it. And/or you do have the record of Apple sending you an email about the matter?
If Fedex (or Apple) has no record and you do not have any proof that you shipped it, I don't believe that anyone can do anything. Not sure if your home insurance would cover this - probably not, but it's worth a phone call.

I recently bought an iphone and can't get passed the apple i.d, I have no idea who the previous owner is I just want my phone to work please help.

I don't know who the previous owner is or how to contact them because I can't see their email address. I spent $200 and just want my phone to work. Is there any way apple can help?

Your phone is "activation locked". It cannot be used unless this lock is removed by the previous owner of the iPhone. If the seller can't help you then ask for a refund of your money.
Apple won't help you. Note that the iPhone you bought may well be stolen property..

While making a backup copy in Itunes of my Iphone I receive the following error message: While making a backup copy of this iPhone (-35) an error has occurred. Do you want to continue with altering this Iphone? When you continue al the material on this Iphone will be lost.
I reinstalled iTunes but that dit not help. After synching iTunes with my iPhone it also asks to authorize my pc and when i Click on ok, it says it is already authorized.
Please can somebody help me, so I can make backup.
Greetz,
Derk

It's likely that your backup is corrupt. Try deleting the backup, then right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "back up". To delete go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab. Highlight and delete the most recent backup. Note that sometimes deleting this way leaves some garbage around that can still interfere with a new backup, so you should verify that the backup folder is empty.
from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

-Reece,
We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?

I didn't realize there was a difference there - here it does not matter if I call a toll free number from my landline or my cell (although the minutes are added to my monthly log on the cell).
If I do not want them to know my number, I use Skype as it will show some anonymous junk (as long as you do not have a monthly plan with a phone number); I'd rather pay $0.02/minute than having them put my non-published number in their system.
I use Google Voice numbers for the same reason, I can block callers (with a lovely AT&T out of service message), change my number, record calls etc as desired. I can change them at will, and they're free.

Does iSync not support your mobile phone? try this.

Recently I got a Samsung A777 mobile phone. I wasn't able to learn everything about it before buying, but in absence of the information I couldn't get, it was the best choice for me. When I attempted to sync it with my Mac, iSync told me in so many words "This device is not supported by iSync". Well, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
So I did a little research. First I found this site http://blog.jayfields.com/2006/08/sync-your-samsung-phone-with-your-mac.html which links to this app http://homepage.mac.com/gaz/FileSharing13.html
After some experimenting, I discovered I can export in vCard 3.0 format, skip using the app, export a group of contacts to one file, and send it to the phone. Done. The address book on the phone contains one entry per name, each entry contains all of that person's numbers, and each number bears the correct icon for home, work, mobile, fax. Email addresses copy too.
This method of syncing is so easy I think nothing of deleting the entire address book from the phone, and uploading the whole contacts group again. Since that's what I've been doing, I don't know if uploading the contacts twice back-to-back would create duplicates. And as far as I know, there's no way to sync back from the phone.
But I don't care much about that. I'm fine recording a voice memo reminding me to make certain changes to an address book entry on the Mac and sync the whole thing again. Takes just a moment.
Perhaps in the future Samsung will be more SyncML and OpenSync friendly.

You can make this process a bit shorter by doing this:
1) Drag the *Bluetooth File Exchange* application to your Dock.
2) Set-up a Group in *Address Book* containing the contacts you want on your phone
Then, whenever you want to re-copy the contacts to your phone, just do this:
Open *Address Book* and drag the Contact group onto the *Bluetooth File Exchange* icon in your Dock.
(BTW, for true bi-directional syncing with iSync you might like to contact http://www.novamedia.de as they do iSync Plugins for over 60 existing Samsung phones, and may be able to do one for yours).

LG G2 - Will not BLOCK any phone numbers? This is unacceptable.

I need to be able to BLOCK a number from someone who is harassing me and the Verizon site says I have to upgrade my LG G2 in order to BLOCK phone numbers. This is very unacceptable. I've only had my LG G2 for short amount of time, and upgrading my phone is out of the question. Blocking a number on my former iPhone 4 was simple. There has to be a way to make this happen. Solution needed ASAP please.
Also, since the KitKat "update" my phone will not send or receive any multimedia messages via text (the LG app, Verizon text app, any I've tried). My local Verizon store's "solution" has been to do a Hard Reset. I've done this TWICE now. It worked for about 2 weeks the first time and 2 days the second time. I need a REAL SOLUTION/FIX for this ASAP as well.
Thank you!

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?
Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,
Dan_nz.

There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

I want my phone to do this...
