IPhone 3G v2.1 - So far, so good

I've heard rumors of people having problems with the 2.1 version of iPhone's software. Personally, I've only experienced the improvements on reception, improved battery life, and faster browsing in Contacts.
If that changes, I'll be sure to report back here. Until then, I'm enjoying a better iPhone.

I agree as well. My phone seems better since 2.1 - my 3G has generally got a better signal wherever I go (which in turn has actually made me use it!). Everything else seems fine too

Maybe I'm just lucky, but so far so good with iPhone

First let me say that I feel badly for all who have had issues with their phones. I'm beginning to think that I just lucked out and there is no rhyme or reason for it.
Stood in line for 4 hours June 29th to get my iPhone 8 gig. Took it home and activated at 7:30 P.M. that night. No problems (was an existing customer). 2 minutes to activate, another 5 or so to synch, and it has worked as advertised ever since. No syncing problems either way from or to phone (calendar and contacts). Email has worked fine. I learned much from everyone here how to manage my battery life, and that has been fine too. Today lots of emails, a little web browsing, lots of calls, Blue tooth on, some wifi, but mostly off and got a little under 4 hours "usage" and total time of around 8 hours. 2/3rds battery left.
I don't think I've gotten the elusive "green glow", but the battery has always charged fully (plug icon). I have noticed one thing. If I plug the phone in to the ac charger for the night while it is still on and power off when the phone is locked the wheel spins for a very short time after the slider is turned to off. If I do the same with the phone on the home screen (unlocked) the wheel spins for a MUCH longer time. Almost like a reset. Not sure what this means, but again so far so good.
Having said and posted all this I hope I don't turn the phone on tomorrow and all **** breaks loose, but I don't think it will. I'm also confident Apple will address most if not all of our concerns in the next software update.
Good luck to all and thanks,
CD3

"Syncing" is another way of saying "transferring" or "connecting" your iPod to iTunes. So no, you cannot put anything on the iPod without syncing it.
However, I think what you need is to set the iPod to manage your songs manually.
This will allow you to transfer songs and videos to your iPod and not erase anything that is currently stored on it. If you are going to delete everything from your computer after you have transferred it to the iPod ( a very bad idea), then this is the setting you need.
"why cant i play songs off my ipod while its connected to my computer, thats crap"
Again, "manual song management" is the answer.
Not crap at all really.

hello hi, i just won't to ask, if there has been any changes on how to find a stolen phone, did some one come up with a fare and good solution, new Apps. as it is not fare at all when some one could use it for free and there is a lot of things could be done to this condition, no one seem to care,
i have a story about my sister, am talking on her behalf, she got stolen her phone at a caffee when she just come from a horeble exam, she was very mad and having haedace for not doing well at the exam, i ask her if we could have coffee before we go home, once she sate; while i was getting the coffee for her, some one snicked to her pocket and took the phone, immidatly she feelt it and went on to searching, but nathing was hopefull. what makes it more heart braking is that she worked day and night just to buy the phone and pay for her books and so on as a student. she use to work 16 houres a day before she had to start school. 8 houres in one place and then to the other place. and she was always demanding for more houres to work; one day her boss saw her on her other job and she was serprised to see her and saied OHhh my God Milly if you work like this, i wonder if you servive, how could you also ask for more houres, My sis had to do it she has no parents or any thing, well the phone was taken after only two months of having it. the sad thing is she stile dream having it even though she can't think of buying againe. well me i have tryed a lot of things but i know some were out there there is a solution for people like this, it is not always fare for some one who has payed up to 800 to just loose his ......
Thnks

I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck.

IPhone 3G 2.0, glitchy, its all good

I was rather frustrated with all the little problems my new iPhone is having as opposed to my perfect older version... However, I remembered all the little issues my old iPhone had at first and how with each update it got better and better. Hopefully Apple reads these and realizes what needs attention. So far I got,
-txting is extremely slow and glitchy at times + no sound when typing + only vibrates when txt recieved in standby mode
-apps do not like to sync back and forth from itunes and iphone
-it seems the 2.0 software gets slow when the phone is trying to switch from edge to 3G
My most hated issue that I had for a few weeks on my original iPhone
-My phone doesn't ring when people call me, it goes strait to voicemail, no rings whatsoever just a ding "New Voicemail"
Luckily the iPhone is one of the only phones that updates for free and gets better and better with each update. Until then I guess I'll just be patient ;_;

I waited exactly one week to upgrade mt iphone to the new 3G just for this very problem, and the fact that there would be a buying frenzy. So yesterday it took me about 2 dozen or so phone calls but I actually located an apple store that had plenty in stock. Bought the 8GB black (don't really need all the space of 16GB) but let me just say so far so good! No battery problems or screen resolution problems everything seems to be running smoothly! Knock on wood, but your right the first generation iphone had its share of bugs at first and they were soon ironed out, as will our 3G's with updates!

I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

I am English but live in Spain, When I got my new Macbook Pro I set the language to English, so far so good. Then I stupidly set the keyboard to British when it is obviously a Spanish keyboard. How can I reset it to Spanish. Sorry cant find question mark

LizMaddock,
you can reset the input source to Spanish by selecting the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, selecting the Input Sources tab, and pressing the “+” button in the lower-left corner to select one of the Spanish input sources. The “Spanish – ISO” input source is most similar to the physical Spanish keyboard layout.

I want to sync tasks in Outlook with my iPhone. I have tried Toodledo (not good) and Todo. Todo works, but it cuts off most of the text. I only get the beginning of my (long) lists. Any ideas how I can solve this problem?

Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

24" iMac - so far so good

I've now had my iMac for around a week and everything is great.
This is now my 3rd Mac (I also have a G4 MDD and a PowerBook) and I my overall experience is very good.
I don't have any bad or stuck pixels in the screen and the display is beautiful.
With regard to the noise issues that have been reported there is a faint hum from what I assume to be the power supply or fan and a buzz (again very faint) when the brightness is reduced. However I have to say that this is no more than the background noise I expect from any other electrical appliance such as a TV.
In computer terms it's the quietest desktop machine I've owned, especially after the Dual G4 MDD.
The migration from my G4 went seamlessly, although I did this manually rather than using the migration assistant. Everything works exactly as expected and in some cases has amazed me with the ease of which it ported my preferences and environments.
Overall I have to say that this is a great machine. Hopefully it will remain that way and I'll be pleased with my purchase.
I'm not meaning to decry those who have reported problems with their new iMac but wanted to reported a positive experience for a change.
Cheers all.

I have to agree - so far so good. Mine is a BTO via a local mac dealer here in the Netherlands (Am Bridge - highly reccommended for all Mac stuff) I get some humming now and again, especially after the machine has been working hard, but it's not intrusive. Most of the time I've got music (iTunes or live feed) going on in the background anyway. I've installed Parallels because I need to use Garmin software (I keep checking their Mac blog, but still no sign of mac intel compatible software for for my BMW Garmin GPS) Have to say XP works better and quicker thru Parallels than it does on my wife's Sony PC!!
Overall the intel machines are extremely fast in all aspects and the big screen is a god send. I couldn't justify buying a MacPro and a big screen for what I use my Macs for. I really have no complaints with my iMac - I just love it!
PS. makes all my mates envious as well!

So far so good I like the OS as I did Windows 8.1

So far so good. I like the OS being a Windows 8 beta tester, now makes me really appreciate the finer quality of 10. Really great. Setup went well, devices were Windows 8 ready, hardware installed automatically directly from the OEM manufacture, such like
R azer, SteelSeries. Only complaint on setup is the fact of the transfer of my old account, had no way to verify my code because I was not able to use the internet right away.

Same thing here. My setup experiences, on several VMware and Hyper-V hosts, along with a couple on physical hardware--including my primary, home laptop--was flawless. I was even able to verify my code by checking email on my phone. I
have already reported the positive experience via the official feedback tool (which could use a serious upgrade to allow attachments, spellcheck, etc.).

Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?

Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
I've followed instructions with success until "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. " How do I do that?
I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed. (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac) Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app. It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one. Streamclip played the video with the sound. so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion. I'm exporting the first section now. I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie. I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame? If it can, what size should I select when I export?

Mac Book Week 26... so far so good

Hi Everybody
Brief update on my personal small Mac Book-Odissey...
I got last friday the new Mac Book after returning the previous one for the known discoloration issue. So far so good but of course I shall wait a few more days of usage to claim "victory"...
I do hope that Week 26 got the plastic already changed, but I suppose I shall notice that in the next few days.
Apart the discoloration, the MB is "silent" and does not release too much heat in my opinion. Let's knock wood...

I think if you got more installed you won't be sorry! It's hard to do by yourself on that machine.

6280 on O2 - so far so good

Well I finally got my Nokia 6280 upgrade from O2 yesterday.
So far I am pleased with the phone - charged it up, uploaded my contacts from my old phone. Have also bluetoothed a couple of mp3 ringtones that I made c/o Audacity from my PC. Have played games on that came on the phone, sent loads of texts and made a few phone calls and the battery is coming up for nearly empty.
I know I have only had it for 36 hours but so far so good (touch wood). Im glad that I went ahead with this phone, it certainly lives up to expectation.
Bex

Everyone,
If you are having problems with the 6280 or any other product make a new thread for it. Otherwise you will end up with a very long thread full of issues that do not relate to the one you are having.
If you find that you cannot solve your issue from assistance here, get in contact with us from the Contact Us page.

Updated 7.1 having iphone 4 but temple run2 not responding good, calling interface is little slow.. hope apple will solve it..

updated 7.1 having iphone 4 but temple run2 not responding good, calling interface is little slow.. hope apple will solve it..

Try to solve it yourself... Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
- Press the home button when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.
