IPhone 4 - Love the new design, BUT worried about the antenna.

I want an iPhone4, it looks great, and has everything I would want. What worries me is the fact that the antenna is on the outside of the phone, all around the edges. I remember that most radiation from cell phones comes from the antenna, where the signal is received. Does this mean the radiation levels on the new iPhone will be much higher since your hand is fully in contact with stainless steel band?

I don't think Apple will commit such a grave error in phone design to have a device with the antenna touching someone's ear.
I've looked at the pictures located here http://www.apple.com/iphone/gallery/
Looking at the 2'nd pic, in the lower exterior metal band there is a space that separates the lower metal band from the top metal band. The same size and form corresponds with the location of previous Iphone's antenna allocated space.
This can be double checked by going to FCC's test https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits& RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&applicationid=573413&fccid=%27BCG-E2380A%27 and verifying the 11a SAR report file.
At page 27, on the GSM 1900Mhz, having the device parallel and touching the face, the value is 0.73 SAR. Using it in a tilted 15 degrees position (ear touch, lower part about 2 inches away from face), the SAR is 0.30. If the antenna were to be continuous all the way around, the SAR values would not change since the top part is in contact with the ear at all times in both tests.
I hope someone can confirm how the antenna is actually used in the new iPhone, I'm interested too since to me at least, having an antenna emitting so close to the ear means No Buy, antenna away from top = possible buy.

Ive changed my apple id. in my iPad and iPhone under iTunes it's showing the new id but under iCloud still shows old I'd. I have been told to delete account and add in new one but worried in case lose all my stuff that's already saved in iCloud. any idea?

If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID. Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted. Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

Hi, I buy iPhone 4s 16G white new today, but when I check serial number on apple support, that is invalid serial number, the serial number is not recognised.

Hi, I buy iPhone 4s 16G white new today, but when I check serial number on apple support, that is invalid serial number, the serial number is not recognised. Then I check by using IMEI, "our records indicate that this product has been replaced. Please provide the serial number for your replacement product to find the support and warranty coverage information. What is replacement product really is? I am still confused. Is it recondition product?

You purchased this iPhone today from where?

Are you referring to Australis? <br/>

Firefox Nightly 29.0a1 has that new User Interface. But Australis won't be in a release version until Firefox 30 or 31, well into 2014.

And what would that be before I or anyone else wastes their time and yours providing options you have already tried without any change?
If you have tried all troubleshooting steps providing by Apple, call AppleCare or make an appointment an an Apple store if there is one nearby. You have no other option.

I am going through a divorce and she has the computer. I'm trying to tranfer my music to a new computer but for about 100 songs its asking for her authorization password that I dont have. How can I get these songs transfered or can I?

It sounds like two Apple accounts were used in the purchase of songs, yours and hers. Assuming she won't give you her password, you're kinda stuck. For $129 or so you can repurchase them all.
By the way, if she has the computer and it has your account info in it, you ought to change your password.

Someone replaced the back on the phone, it is a 3G 16GB model from Australia and can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1.

Trying to back up iCloud from a lost iPhone 5 to a new one but Choose backup option says "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version of iOS (7.1) on this iPhone" previous phone was at version 8.1.3

I recently lost my iPhone 5 and purchased a refurbished one on line, I'm trying to backup by iCloud to the new phone but when I get to the "Choose backup" screen I'm told "No iCloud backups are compatible with the version (7.1) on this iPhone". My previous iPhone had up to version 8.1.3. Now I'm stuck in the backup screen and can't get back to settings. How can I finish the backup and how do I get out of backup mode to possibly update to the version I need?

Hi AppleRobertion,
What you are going to need to do here is update your iPhone's version of the operating system to a version at least as new as the one on your backup - iOS 8.1.3. To do this, follow the directions in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Specifically -
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Once the update is complete you should be able to restore from your backup.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,
Brett L

Love my New 3GS - but...

I LOVE my new 3GS, way better that the VZ Blackberry Storm I had. I have gotten so much more done daily with the iPhone.
but..
I wish the new email alert sound was louder or changeable. Sometimes it does not sound at all. I watch it once and it new mail was arriving and no sound. and now i got mail and it sounded.
Any way to change the sound to a more robust one.
thanks

You can send in requests for an enhancement to Apple, as I did weekly for about 6 months. However, it was not enabled on the new OS (3.0). <Edited by Host>

Love my new keyboard BUT

I'm not sure this is the right forum for this, but couldn't find anywhere else. I jsut purchased the new Mac aluminum keyboard, which I LOVE. I downloaded the software and everything works fine, but the F buttons now have different functions. I can deal with this, but there no longer seems to be an F button that toggles to minimize and then maximize all windows at once--it used to be the F10 or F11, I can't remember which. HELP! I need this function to check my desktop on a regular basis. Is there some way I can customize the keyboard to do this? (The F5 and F6 keys don't seem to have a function--maybe I could use them?) I'm not sure why Apple saw fit to eliminate that particular key/shortcut.
Thanks!

Interesting, Forrest. I guess this just goes to prove how subjective these assessments are. I too have typed on just about everything over the years since I first took typing lessons in a grimy high school classroom on summer break in 1968. LOL. I remember well those days of the Selectric ball and witeout--liquid and tape both. Glad they are gone forever.
Personally, I love the AL keyboard. I'm very glad I found it. I struggled, as I said, for months to find a keyboard I could basically ignore for 6 to 8 hours per day. People RAVED online about the Tactile Pro, and I couldn't stand it. It was so much in my face, with all that clicking and pounding.
Each to his/her own. I'm curious: what is "poor tactile feedback"? And I'm guessing "unsculpted keys" means there is not a little indentation to rest your fingers on? Probably that is the result of the AL being so low-profile?
How much would you pay me for my Tactile Pro? LOL. Maybe I'll hold off a few days on sending it back....

Love my new iBook, BUT...

love my new iBook, as a matter fact, Apple Computer has helped me learn more about technology and expressing myself than I ever thought possible from any corporate entity.
it's almost to the point that you can manifest an idea in yer head, with sound and video, and publish it for the world to see within an hour!! pretty amazing.
that's why on-line services like mail and dotMAC are such a disappointment. the Mail.app in TIGER hangs and hangs doin all kinds of kool stuPH, when all i want is my eMail. dotMAC Synching is hit or miss at best.
it's time to get back to basics with these on-line services. in the spirit of everything Apple, these services oughta be easy enuff to use for a beginner, and robust for advanced users. i oughta be able to have the security and stability to run a business and the ease of operation to have fun at the same time.
as an end-user, what can i do to help make this happen?

Well .Mac services have been having trouble as of late I've read. So the problem is on the server end, not the Mac end.
By the way, "stuPH?" There is a spell checker built into Safari. If you have issues with .Mac, send it to the
form under the relevant .Mac page:

Iphone 5 black, do i have to worry about scratches?

am gonna get an iphone 5 black from someone soon and unfortunately i have no control over the color choice. i wanted white but i am gonna get a black piece.
i often come across blogs on the internet saying the iphone 5 black gets scratched a lot! i dont wanna put an ugly case of a sctarch guard on my iphone's back. the scratch guards tend to reflect the flash's light when taking pics with flash on, which over exposes the pictures.
so anyway, i called up apple care guys and they said the problem of scratches is solved.
can i just use my iphone 5 without haivng to worry about its beautiful aluminum back getting scratched?
Neerav

Hi Julian,
You make me look stupid! Lol. Obviously I know that putting it through the extremities would cause damange but I am talking about general use. Last thing I want to know if there is a scratch on it because of the ring I wear!
What I have heard is of the black one being extremely sensitive. Today, a guy from a nearby apple service center asked me to get a bumper cause, he said, the side aluminium gets bent if u accidently drop the iphone 5.
i have dropped my iphone 3g and 4 several times but this was never an issue. so was just asking about 'general use'. thanks anyway for ur reply.

Syncing to new computer, but what about my pictures?

I just got my new Macbook, and I am in the process of transferring my itunes library so I can sync my phone to this computer. However, I am worried about my pictures. Is there a way I can transfer them so I don't loose all of them? I have over 400 pictures on my phone.

If these pics were synced to your phone, they were reduced in resolution for display on your phone. There is no way to recover their full resolution. Your best bet is to restore the photos from your old computer to your new computer. If for some reason you are unable to do so, you can use third party software like this to extract them from your phone:

Or you can email them to yourself. But bear in mind what I've stated about their resolution: it was reduced & is not recoverable.

Dear Adobe, it's great you keep adding new features, but what about ...

Dear Adobe,
It's great you keep adding shiny new "newsworthy" features ... but what about fixing long-standing bugs/issues and addressing the basics that have been missing since the the beginning?
WHAT ABOUT LEAVING PASTED CLIPS SELECTED after a Paste operation in the Timeline?!? Like every other app in the world?
What about leaving a complex selection of clips intact after an UNDO operation? (This costs me hundreds of minutes a week.) Like every other app in the world?
What about allowing "." as an abbreviation for "00" when entering timecode?
What about letting the renaming of a clip in a bin be reflected in timelines?
What about a "reduce project" option? (To remove all items not used by selected sequences, like Ae.)
What about actually useful clip labels (colors) which link between timeline items and their respective clips in the bin? (Like Avid & FCP) So we can mark certain clips a certain color in a bin and have that color be reflected in timelines?
What about being able to close the title tool with a shortcut, not just a tiny 4x4 button?
What about fixing the title tool so it's kerning/leading shortcuts are NOT the exact opposite of EVERY OTHER CC application?
What about a simple "Select Media Relatives" command, like in FCP and Avid?
What about fixing the audio scrub toggle shortcut so that it works without having to play or use the mouse?
What about a shortcut for "Reveal in Finder" from the Timeline? It's in the context menu -- why no shortcut?

I am curious about the time you waste ...and wonder what and why you are doing it... that causes this loss of efficiency.
2. What about leaving a complex selection of clips intact after an UNDO operation? (This costs me hundreds of minutes a week.) Like every other app in the world?
Maybe there is a better way !
