Iphone 4 reception issue and it took me 7 days to solve it. Thanks apple!

As most of you know, iphone 4 bars drop as soon as you hold the phone on bottom left corner. I called apple tech support and this is what they suggested.
1. Tape the sim card. ( No it's not a joke. That's what they told me)
2. Don't hold the phone with left hand and avoid holding the bottom left.
I complained that if I have to do exactly what they said, I would risk myself from dropping the iphone 4. No one was able to help. I talked to supervisor. I emailed Steve jobs. So, I finally filed a complain to FCC. Poor AT&T was in the middle of it and I called them for my drop calls. They offered me something in credit. But, it still did not solve the issue.
After fighting with customer service for 7 days, I went to apple store and got a bumper case from apple. Now, I have no drop calls at all. I mean AT&T network is still terrible, but it is much better than what I had for past 7 days. Apple store manager was nice enough to offer me a discount on bumper.
I was going to buy white iphone, but now I am going to think about it. I will probably go for samsung captivate or new HTC android phone. I might get the phone that would not be as nice as iphone, but I will be able to hold it the way I like!
You guys have any issues with antenna? How did you solve it?

I have the antenna problem too. I called Apple as well and after talking to three different people, I was offered a bumper. Keep in mind that this was on Sunday. I don't believe they are doing that anymore.
I have a case on it right now, and it seems to be okay. Take the case off, and it drops calls consistently.
At first the Apple rep told me to put tape on it. Put tape on my new phone? Umm...no thanks. I was told to hold it differently. I was told I could buy a bumper. That's when I was offered a free one because the guy admitted to knowing that it was at least a temporary fix, and I noted that it shouldn't be my responsibility to purchase anything else. My phone should have been in working order to begin with.

IPhone Sync issue (and album art messed up)

Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, instead of just updating the media I have changed, it will randomly add anywhere between 30 to 300 songs that were already on my iPhone. It doesn't cause any problems with using the iPhone other then the fact that it takes a really long time to sync even when I don't change anything or add new media to sync with the iPhone.
So far I have:
-made sure I have the latest updates of iTunes and all software
-re-set iSync
-done an archive and install
-had a genius appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and
-they replaced my iPhone
...but my problems still exist. And on top of that, all of the album artwork on the iPhone is jumbled up. It looks fine in cover flow, but when I switch to the normal mode it will be the wrong artwork with the wrong song. My album artwork in itunes is not jumbled up, but all of the artwork for the movies and tv shows I have bought and downloaded from the iTunes Store has disappeared and I can't get it back by searching for album artwork.
So, to recap, my 3 main problems are.
1) iPhone Sync issue
2) Album artwork jumbled up on iPhone
3) TV Show and Movie artwork disappearing on iTunes
If anyone can help your time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Here are a couple of articles from the apple support website that might help out.

The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

Hi everybody, do you know if an apple store or the assistance can unlock an iphone 4S ? and if it yes whats is the price ? Thanks

The only one who can unlock an iPhone is the carrier that is holding the contract on the phone.

My iphone 5 died and when i plugged it back in to charge the apple screen came up and wont go away. i cant turn it off because my lock button is broke. what do i do?

my iphone 5 died and when i went to plug it in to charge the apple sign came up and it wont go away it has been stuck for 2 hours. i cant turn it off because my lockbutton is broke. what do i do?

Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. Get your lock button fixed then you can restore your phone.

HT1495 I have 3 iphones, an ipad, and several ipods. how do I give them seperate apple id's and create a master account. This way I do not have to purchase music for each device individually. For now we just share an id. This no longer works for us.

I need help! I have multiple devices and would like everything linked to one master account, however, I need seperate IDs so that we can use imessage and facetime on each device individually. How do I do this?

I think I will do this. I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently. That solves one problrem. My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?

Iphone 4s crashes and freezes every 2-3 days

I ordered my iphone 4s white 32g on att and I got it on oct.14th. I have been experiencing crashes ever since....
I tried restoring the day before yesterday but it happend again...
I have to use the lockscreen button+home button to reboot everytime...
Should I return it and get a new one or just wait for the ios5.0.1?
ANYONE experiencing the same prob?

I had the same issue. Next time your phone does it, you can attempt a hard reset. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for about ten seconds. You should get the apple logo and the phone should return back to normal. While my phone restarted quickly, others have said that theirs took up to ten minutes.

TS2755 Problem: Both iPhones share incoming and outgoing Text Messages. History: We used the same Apple ID for TWO iPhones. Later we changed the Apple ID on ONE iPhone.

Two iPhones were set up using the same Apple ID. iPhone#2 was updated 4 months ago with a new Apple ID. Both phones continue to recieve text messages for either user. Texts from user 1 or 2 to a 3rd party are signed as the same user. iPhone#1 is an Apple 5, iPhone#2 is a 4s. All phones on the same Verizon account. IOS have been updated regularly.

Go to your imessaging settings and check to see that the phone number for device #2 is changed good luck.

HT201412 What if my iphone keeps freezing and I have to restore it to solve the problem?

Three times in about two weeks, my iphone has just frozen. Apps. recently put on it disappeared or quit responding. Now the power button doesn't work and itunes doesn't pick up my phone to restore it. Restoring it seems to solve the problem for a few days then, it freezes and becomes unresponsive again. This time none of the buttons work. I can't even make phone calls. I keep my phone in an otter box to protect it. At this time, I cannot replace it. The earliest is May. It is out of Warranty.

Keep holding power and home until apple logo appears.

I bought an iPhone on eBay and it is iCloud locked. Is there a way apple could contact the owner and see if it was stolen or lost with the Imei

Icloud Locked iphone

Apple won't do so unless a court orders them to. Ask eBay for a refund.

IPhone 3G Email and Calendar times off by one hour (slow one hour)

My times which I send/receive emails or put appointments on the calendar are 1 hour slow as compared to my computers. I have Mobile Me and Mobile Me (on the computer) and my Outlook emails and calendars match and my current time is correct on all. On the IPhone 3G the current time is correct but the time a email is sent or received and all appointments on the calendar are both off by one hour (one hour slow on the IPhone 3G).
I have set time automatically in "settings" to on, and under "email contacts and calendar" I have time zones disabled. I have tried each possible combination of these settings but cannot get the email/calendar times to match between my computers and the IPhone 3G regardless of how these are set.
I have numerous computers and all times are correct on all. On the IPhone 3G the current time (the clock) is correct, but times in emails and calendar appointments are all off (slow) by exactly one hour no matter what I do.
Anybody else have this issue, and/or know what the solution might be?
Thanks
The Omega

I have tried that and it did not work. I am now trying it with everything set to enable DST, and see if that works. Everything, so far, seems to be in sync. The phone would be right for a second when you went into the calendar and then change to be an hour off. Strange. I think the settings I have now (all, Windows, MobileMe, and the IPhone 3G set to DSL on, the same) may be working. Only time will tell.
Thank you.

CS4, what are the most pressing issues and are they solved ???!!!

I'll be visiting the Adobe booth at the IBC on the 15-th to have a sneak preview of CS4.
To properly report back what I have seen, I need a short list of the most pressing issues and what interests you most to see solved or added. Just to name a few of the topics:
1. 64 bit or 32 bit?
2. Support for 64 bit OS and which ones?
3. Matte problems solved? (BTW, what were the exact issues with mattes in CS3?)
4. Titler improvements?
5. What (new) video formats are supported natively?
6. What significant improvements are made in integration in the Suite?
I'm not looking for a repeat of the wishlist, just the most important issues to have a look at.
Looking forward to your suggestions.

Here is the news as I got it from one of the technicians and beta testers at the IBC, who showed some interesting things on the current beta version.
1. The RTM version is not ready yet. It will definitely be this year, but it will not be out in September. Most likely is around November and not all promised features will be available in the 4.0 version, but will be supplied by downloadable patches.
2. Interlacing/de-interlacing has not been solved. It is still the archaic approach from the '70-s era.
3. Vista 64 is officially supported, XP 64 is not officially supported, but runs without problems. Several beta testers have not seen any problems with XP-64. All applications are still 32 bit applications, apart from PS Extended, which is 64 bit. Parts of the memory model are ported to 64 bit. The first steps to porting all applications to 64 bit have been taken, but do not expect full support before CS5.
4. The major improvement has been in the project structure. Every project now has its own information about drive, directory and file structure as part of the project. Files in the project can have different properties in terms of resolution, i or p, so effectively this makes for Edius like capabilities, allowing for different sources in a single project, XDCAM-EX, HDV, AVCHD, P2 sources can be mixed and edited on the same timeline. You can move i material to a p timeline and edit from there.
5. Adobe Media Encoder is now a separate application.
6. Dynamic Linking has been improved significantly and encompasses AE, PP, EN in all directions.
7. Batch processing has been added. You can now add timelines to a render cue and continue editing on the same timeline and there seems to be some intelligence behind it as well.
8. OMF has been vastly improved.
9. The garbage matte problems have been solved.
10. Ultra is still a stand-alone application.
11. Improvements have been made to Encore, whether that includes closing the DVD was not really known.
12. Edit in Audition has been restored.
13. AVCHD is supported, RED support will be added (possibly even for CS3). Note that even on a 4-core MAC the editing experience with AVCHD is tiresome and horrendously slow. You may succeed in editing that kind of material, but only with 8-cores. Otherwise it is like editing HDV on a P4 @ 2.8 GHz with a single disk. It can be done, but it is not a pleasure. The CPU requirements are enormous and IMO most will be heavily disappointed that they need to upgrade their PC before any serious editing can be done, despite all the warnings given.
14. The titler has not been improved, but the strange windows problems (resizing) have been solved.
15. Dependency on Red, MainConcept and others make the delivery dates unsure, but it will take some time and new patches are already being worked on.
16. Adobe at IBC has only beta versions.
17. One member here (I will not mention names) is probably the best beta tester Adobe has ever had and this person beats all other beta testers by a wide margin in finding bugs. Thanks for all your continued trouble, NN. You will know who I mean if you are the person in question. One of your colleague beta testers was in awe of you.
The stability and integration of the suite has been vastly improved and tons of bugs have been resolved, so from that point of view, upgrading to CS4 looks very worthwhile. Initially however, third parties have to resolve some issues with their software, like Sony with their Clip Browser, which contains a serious bug, causing PP to crash completely. These bugs need to be resolved shortly and hopefully will be addressed before the RTM version comes out.
