I work for company and we use HTC phones about a hundred  .. We are thinking of changing to iPhone...  We use destiny pens and have been advised that apple blocks the Bluetooth for this device... Why...?

Apple doesn't "block" that device. They just don't support the Bluetooth profiles the Destiny pen requires. You can see the Bluetooth profiles included in iOS here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
and the profiles required for the pen here:

Perhaps another pen such as the A4 Smart Pen would work for you in place of the Destiny device:

  • I've paid for the Bluetooth in my device, Why Can't I use it!?

    Why is it that Apple won't allow the Bluetooth in our devices to be used the way you can on nearly all other devices on the market. Apple should start to listen to the people that buy there products. After all! If it wern't for us consumers buying there products, Apple would not exist. Come on Apple! Pull ya finger out!

    I've paid for the Bluetooth in my device, Why Can't I use it!?
    You can use it. You can use it in exactly the way Apple describes the iPhone's Bluetooth functionality, which is what you paid for.
    Presumably you are referring to Bluetooth file transfers, however the iPhone does not have this capability and Apple has never claimed, advertised or stated that it does. So Bluetooth in the iPhone does work exactly as it is designed to.
    Due to Apple's agreements with the music and movie industries that they sell their content for, it's likely that Apple restricts file transfers to prevent widespread and easy copyright infringement.
    Why Apple can't open up Bluetooth File transfers for picture files only though, I don't know...

  • If i buy an unlocked iphone 4s in the usa will it work in Australia? and will the warranty be valid in astralia as i have been told that apple have a world wide after sales service but also been told warranties are only valid in the country of purchase

    Each country is a separate business. If Apple in Australia fixes a phone purchased in another country it reduces their profit. The good news is that Apple stores will frequently replace phones purchased in other countries under warranty, but they are not required to do so. Some countries are more liberal than others. India never does, for example.
    Why don't you just buy it in Australia? The price difference can't be that great.

  • I have been recently trying to get the update for the new iOS 7.1 and it keeps coming up as too much data for update. It says to check your storage and or usage and edit it them, but when I go check I have over 7.8GB of messages "saved" on my phone.  why?

    I went to my data after this message kept coming up and unlike the rest of the usage data you cannot delete your "saved" message data. I tried deleting some photos (which I don't have a lot to begin with; now I only have 40) still nothing. I then went to to my local apple store in the mall and the two guys I talked to didn't help. They said to delete the threads which I did, then delete the pictures which I also did and that should help. They were wrong they I'd say however to reset your phone if all else fails and that will deffinelty do it. But I don't want to lose all of my data so I am trying to save my things on iCloud and it won't let me do to my storage. There have been similar situations like mine on here but the backup bot isn't working on my computer. At this point I am just so lost and confused I don't know what to do. Someone please help

    Snowden has already commented on this. Messages are stored on Apple devices until they are uploaded for screening to the NSA. Apple holds these messages on your device and on the cloud service. Once the information has been uploaded to NSA, the messages then delete off your device. In order to not arouse suspecion, the device will always show you some amount to data as space being occupied on your device. Theorecically this data could be over written and not protected if they were on hidden sectors of your memory. The information stored on this "messages" partition is actually more than messages, thats why this space commitment can easily reach 3 gigs. Any computer science specialist will tell you that ASCII characters only use minimal kilobytes of data. Apple complies with this request to upload your personal data as outlined in the Patriot Act. The only way to delete this "messages" data hold is by doing a complete wipe of your device and not conducting a restore. It will clear the space off your device, but NSA actually has the information from the cloud service regardless.

  • HT1923 I am trying to run iTunes and have been advised that i must uninstall and install again. However, in Control Panel, I don't have the option the uninstall. HELP!!!

    I am trying to run iTunes. When I do I get this message "Apple Application Support was not found. Apple Application Support required to run iTunes. Please uninstall iTunes and install iTunes again. Error 2 (Wiindows error 2)" . However, in Control Panel, there isn't an option to remove or unistall iTunes, only an option to repair.
    Now, when I dowloaded iTunes, i saved it to my flash drive so that i can have it with me whereever I go. I am not sure if the problem stems from there. I also did this so as not to save it on my work computer but still be able to run it from my flash drive.
    Please HELP. I miss my music and podcast.

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • HT4061 Hello my name is George.  I have a new replacement 5S that I received this morning.  At this time I have been backing it up from the cloud for over 3 hrs, is this normal?

    Backing up my replacement 5S has taken over three hours and progress indicator is at approx 15%.  Is this normal? Can I disconnect and return to the genius bar for a quick fix?  Can someone provide direction.  Thank you.

    Hey George,
    This is the information from Apple that addresses iCloud restore times:
    The restore process is taking a long time to finish.
    The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process may need 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete.
    If you're traveling between countries, the restore process may require more time than usual. iCloud is tuned to provide the best service when you're in the geographical location from which you most frequently connect to the Internet. When restoring from an iCloud backup, iCloud is tuned to provide the best service in the geographical region you were in when you created the backup.
    from: iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup

    I have been unsuccessfully trying to extend the wifi of my Time 2T Capsule with an Airport Extreme 2nd Gen. It works for a while and then loses configuration. I have done everything possible, disconnected it, reset it but it keeps failing, what to do?

    What model and firmware is the 2TB TC?
    What firmware is the AE?
    Does the AE get good signal from the TC in its current location?
    Signal can only be extended that is received intact.
    Is it extending on 5ghz? As I remember it a Gen2 AE is only single band, although you can choose either 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
    I am fairly sure you are going to tell me your TC is AC model..
    I would do a couple of things..
    1. Fix the wireless name, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    2. Fix the wireless channel for 2.4ghz so it is not going to jump around.
    3. Get real results from the AE in its current location for signal strength.. this is really only possible on v5 utility. And that is a double pain with Mavericks because you cannot use it.
    Apple have removed all the useful diagnostics from the airport utility. There is next to nothing left. So you need to use the computer and its diagnostics to find signal levels in the location.

    No, it's done on the computer, it's just done on the web and not through iTunes. I guess you could do it on the iPhone, but it would be easier to do on the computer.
    Just go to the site linked above, then click on the big blue button and fill out the neccessary information.

  • HT5312 why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put

    why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put in the first place

    1. Because if you could, someone who breaks into your account could do it as well.
    2. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
