IPhone 4/4S/5 questions

1. If Wi-Fi is available (e.g. a home or free public network), is connecting to it and using the internet via that network from the iPhone always free, regardless of SIM or phone network status? Some sources say that this is the case, but some iPhone deals say something like '12 months Wi-Fi free'. Would appreciate clarification.
2. What UK-based networks would you recommend for someone who would like (1) Pay as you Go for the time being but might want the option to switch to a monthly basis later, and (2) the option to unlock the iPhone in the future in case of wanting to move it to another network?
3. In terms of iPod capabilities (software, not necessarily hardware), does the iPhone have all of the options that the newest iPod Touch does, or is it missing some things?
This is with regards to iPhone 4, 4S, or 5 (so please account for each of those models), for use probably primarily in the UK atm. Thanks!

Also, for those who switched between iPhone 4/4S and 5, would you say that the iPhone 5 is worth the extra cost? At the moment, I'm primarily looking to use the iPhone for the phone aspect, music listening, Wi-Fi internet browsing, and possibly some apps.

My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of getting the IPhone 4S. My question is can we both use the functions of Icloud on the same account at Verizon or do we have to have separate accounts to be able to use all the features

My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of both getting the IPhone 4S. My question is can we both use all of the features of Icloud with one account at Verizon or do we need to have separate accounts?

If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. MY question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this aren't working

HI, I recently upgraded my operating system IOS 5.0.1 on an iphone 3gs. My question is, how do I get the text messaging preview to just pop up so that I can see the name only when the lock screen is on? The conventional ways of doing this, such as using turning off the SMS preview under the "passcode lock", well that option no longer exists, or if it does, I'm somehow missing it.
When I go to the "messages" setting under settings on my phone, I still don't see an option of turning it off.
If I can just get the name of the person sending the message, as I had it before, I'd be happy.
Help!

That option still exists in Settings > Notifications > Messages > Show Prview (OFF) and View in Lock Screen (ON). Here's how to configure your Notifications and Notification Center for iOS 5: http://iphone-and-i.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-customize-notification-center-in .html

Importing iPhoto files onto an iPhone 3G using iTunes question....

New! Importing iPhoto files onto an iPhone 3G with iTunes question
Posted: Aug 14, 2008 9:07 AM Reply Email
So letme get this striaght...
You first create an album in iPhoto 08 with just the images you want put onto your iPhone 3G.
NEXT: you connect tou iPhone 3G and iTunews will open. You go to the iPhone in iTunes and select the photo tag and then select the album you had made for import and sync it with you iPhone. Will large image files automatically be resized for use on the iPhone 3G?
Most of my .JPG files are from 4 -5 MB each in size. What will it do with a RAW image file?

I am not 100% sure, but i BELIEVE that they do get resized because as it's syncing with the iPhone, iTunes will state that it is optimizing the selected photos for the iPhone, just like we would see for the iPod.

I can't make purchases on my iPhone without answering security questions and I don't know my rescue email how can I change or add a rescue email so I can change my security answers and make purchases

I can't make purchases on my iPhone without answering security questions and I don't know my rescue email how can I change or add a rescue email so I can change my security answers and make purchases

Without a rescue email you will have to call Apple to change your security questions:

How do I delete an Apple iCloud account from my iPhone without password, security questions, or email?

For some reason, an old iD is stuck on my phone. My iPhone 4s is nearly filled with documents and data, to the point where I cannot take pictures, and I can't reset it without using this old iD. I don't know why this is now popping up instead of the one I am registered with. I gained access to the old email the iD is under, but none of the iTunes emails are coming in so I assume it is set up under a different email. For the security question of birthdays, I tried every household member's birthday, and none worked. I have tried the password we used on that account when it was active, along with every other possiblility. I don't know what to do anymore and I have very limited use of my phone if I don't get this sorted out and deleted from my phone.
Thank you for any help!

Not without password.

Iphone 5s Lost/Stolen - Questions about Find my Phone on ios7

OK, I have done something very stupid but I need some advice anyway, will likely not ever get my phone back but I'm curious as to how it works.
1) I bought an unlocked iPhone 5s for travel.
2) I installed "find my phone" before leaving Canada
3) I came to China to live for 6 months and I inserted a China Unicom SIM card.
4) I purchased a cell phone plan that has basically no data
5) I then went into my settings and turned off Cellular Data for all apps (this was the stupid thing that I did without thinking).
Therefore, find my phone is off in Cellular Data. Last night my phone was lost and/or stolen. I immediately tried to use "find my phone." As soon as it said my device was offline I realized what I had done and how stupid it was. I did still set the lock and send it a messages so if for some reason it comes online it will be locked, but....here are my questions:
1) Will "find my phone" work over Wifi automatically if Cellular Data is off?
2) If my phone IS in the hands of a thief, is this even helpful? Could a thief just pop out my SIM card, insert their SIM card, somehow bypass my fingerprint/passcode (I know there are hacks for that) and then just turn off / disable Find My Phone? Because if they put in their SIM card and use 3G, but haven't started using Wifi yet, then "find my phone" won't be activated yet, correct?
3) So is my only hope to leave a thief with a worthless brick that they take the phone somewhere and try to use it on Wifi to set it up? IF they insert a new SIM and manage to hack my passcode, BUT they fail to deactivate "find my phone" and then they join a wireless network, would my phone immediately lock

Use Find My iPhone to track iPhone only if the following conditions are met:
1. Find My iPhone is ON and activated.
2. iPhone has Internet connection.
3. iPhone is not switched OFF.

New iphone 4s and multiple questions

So I have multiple questoins...
So I tried out a droid for a couple weeks and well in the end I decided the iphone was the better choice for me. So the droid was my first smartphone and when it was set up it imported all my facebook, twitter, gmail and phone contacts. (I found this really annoying since I have so many contacts that I would really care less to have in my "contacts" list ) I have quite a few contacts on all of those places.so as you can imagine my contacts are a little out of control. Anyways on the droid there was a way to filter my contacts to just show contacts with phone numbers. So here I am on my iphone 4s and all those contacts are there. I haven't found anywhere on the phone yet to filter out contacts yet. Is there a way to "group" or "filter" my contacts so I I can just find the ones with phone numbers? Is there an app maybe that will group e mail, facebook, twitter contacts or something?
The second question is...
My sister, mother and I share an itunes account (I had an ipod touch before upgrading to an iphone) so that way if one of buys something all of us get it so were not paying mulitple times for the same app. We all sync on different computers since we don't live with eachother. I haven't been able to look into it but the new photo stream feature yet but... when everyone updates to IOS 5 is there a way that each persons photos from their device wont go to the others devices. Is this set up through your itunes account or icloud or something? If they want to use icloud/photo stream would they need to make their own apple id? If they use that apple id on their device for icloud. If they signout and log into my account for downloading apps will that mess up their icloud?
Thanks,
I would really appreciate an answer on the contacts the most.

Looking for an app for a blue tooth, type I want to use on my Iphone is a "jawbone" Question is out of the many available in the store which one would be the best and most reliable?

Looking for an app for blue tooth on my Iphone. Out of the many in the app store which one(s) would be the best & most reliable? Currently trying to set up for an older Jaw Bone?

You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

Picked up iphone #3, (3rd replacement) question and observation

Ok, working on iphone #3 (first one had battery issues, second one had display issues).
Question: Under my system info (call 3001#12345#), my new phone says firware.
I could have sworn my previous phones said firmware (with the 'm' included).
Anyone mind checking their phone and seeing what it says ?
So this new phone has a '7' series LCD, my first one had a 5, the second one was another '7' series.
Ive noticed that on this new phone, the display is noticably brighter than the second phone I had that was a '7' series. The brightness level at the 1/4 make is eqaul to what the brightness was at the 1/2 mark on the previous phone.
Pretty weird. Wish they would have gotten these inconsistencies and other things ironed out prior to launch. Two phone replacements in less than a month is ridiculous.

Yeah i just checked mine and it says firware. and my lcd panel id is 5755136. No clue what any of that means lol

IPhone as an iPod questions

I have formed this as a complaint in this discussion previously but the moderators keep deleting it for some reason so perhaps if I phrase it in the form of a question.....
Anyway, here is my question.
Does anyone have a good or technical explanation why with the iPhone, which is supposedly the "best iPod ever", one can't do these things?
Allow manual update rather than force you to sync?
Allow TV Out option?
Allow you to use your iPhone as a flashdrive/hardrive as every other iPod does?

The only way that the prepay plan is available on the iPhone is if you fail their credit check.

Just got an iphone... Question about the dock

Ok so I just got an iphone, and love it so far. the one question is, do they make docks that are just a tad bigger to fit it when its in a snap on case type thing? I tried it in the dock for my ipod 160GB and it didnt fit. thickness wise it did but they are about the same width and it just barely wouldnt fit. Any ideas?

Google can answer simple questions much faster than a forum... http://www.google.com/search?q=iphone3Gdock&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

IPhone 4 and iTunes question-HELP?

ok- so, i have an existing iTunes account (current version 9.2)- i previously had ONE device attached to it- my 3Gs that i upgraded to my iP4 with.
I did not wipe my 3Gs- as i sent it to my daughter who placed her SIM from her 3G into it- HOWEVER, since activating my iP4 the only phone that has been synched to my iTunes is the new iP4- i was able to transfer all of my 90 apps- FINE- but i have an issue with my audiobooks-I keep getting this message when i try to put any of my audiobooks onto my iP4:
"THE PHONE "JILL...." IS SYNCED WITH ANOTHER ITUNES LIBRARY. DO YOU WANT TO ERASE THIS IPHONE AND SYNC WITH THIS ITUNES LIBRARY? AN IPHONE CAN BE SYNCED WITH ONLY ONE (1) iTUNES LIBRARY AT A TIME. ERASING AND SYNCING REPLACES THE CONTENTS OF THIS iPHONE WITH THE CONTENTS OF THIS LIBRARY"
ummm, my question is: A) What other Library might they be referring to? It syncs fine on this one and only iTunes account i have had for years- B) i am concerned WHAT exactly will be erased and replaced??? What is the point of this message if the APPS on the phone are from my one and only library?
I originally thought that maybe i was getting this message because all of the audiobooks had been previously loaded onto my 3Gs and i did not care- as i had already listened to them. BUT I just paid $26 for a new audiobook from iTunes and want it on my iP4- and it STILL gives me this message...
ANYONE?

looking for any input on this? I have had one iTunes account EVER- same one- same password- i am NOT logging on to the "wrong" account- am i just confused by the message as to erasing my iPhone? Again, it syncs properly as to apps and all of my contacts ETC- it is JUST PERTAINING to AUDIOBOOKS and MUSIC?? Even new purchases...

IPhone 4 Pre Order Question PLEASE HELP !

I am sure there was 100 posts about this but I cant find the answer thats set in stone, even AT&T couldnt help me. I signed up with AT&T in April got an iPhone 3Gs. Obviously, I am not eligible for an upgrade. Now my first question is the text message said we can offer you a discounted iPhone upgrade at a higher price with a 2 yr commitment and a $18 upgrade fee. What is THAT price?! Also, due to some credit issues, I had to leave a $300 deposit with AT&T to start my contract with them, am I going to have to leave another $300 deposit ?! I want to pre order the phone on the 15th, so someone PLEASE help

The USUAL "higher price" discounted phones are $399 for the 16GB and $499 for the 32GB ($299 for the 8GB 3GS).
Only AT&T can tell you for certain whether another deposit is needed or whether the prices I quoted apply to you.
