Iphone 4s has some problems with iMessage and Siri...

Okay, so I have a iPhone 4s (working on Verizon) and about 3 days ago it wouldn't allow me to txt my friend to her ipad through imessage... I tried it with my other friends too and so when they reply I don't recieve it, they actually have to txt me from their cellphones to get a txt to me. I've looked all over google and now I'm just going to restore/reset it. I was wondering if anybody knew a way to fix this... (also if anybody knows why siri won't ever help me but only give error messages). If the only other option is to try to reset it then will it keep my phone number on it or will I have to take it to the Verizon store to get it to be reactivated with my old cell number? I would call apple but since I didn't get apple care they keep trying to charge me $60 for a free technical call... of course I'm not going to pay that, thats just plain ol' crap. I know this is complicated to follow but if you can follow this then please help me out... (also I'm going to the verizon store later today to see what they can do... hopefully it isn't anything where i have to actually replace the phone...)
THANKS! (Date, July 21,2012 1:00pm)

By chance, has iMessage been disabled? To check this, go to settings, scroll down and tap messages, and the first thing you'll see is if iMessage is on or off.

Face time fades out and then tries to reconnect on new ipad retina display on WiFi. Iphone 4s has no problem with face time from exact same location and same contact. WiFi signal strong on both devices. What gives?

Is the router to small?
Not necessarily, if you are using Facetime all the data goes through your WiFi router, your cable/DSL modem, your ISP and the internet to Apple's Facetime servers and then, in reverse, down to the Facetime recipient. If your ISP connection is too slow or there is excessive traffic on the internet you can have Facetime problems.
Most WiFi routers can handle this unless others in the house are also using WiFi at the same time. The problem may be your ISP connection or congestion on the internet, etc.

This support document http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4451 relates to the 3194 error. Generally this error has to do with trying to install an iOS that is not the most current. Maybe you tried to jailbreak the phone, or downgrade iOS? Any of this apply to you?

My iphone 5 has a problem with signal

My iphone 5 has a problem with signal, it always search for network. I had removed and plug sim card again but it doesn't work. Then I restore the iphone, and an exception was throw "... An unknown error has occured (3)."

unknow error 3 means the computer has lost communication with the device during the restore. It can be anything from bad cable, USB port, phone hardware etc.
Since your phone had a signal issue before, it would be your baseband chip faulty and when the restore tries to connect with the baseband chip to check (it does this when you restore) it waits till the chip responds then times out when it doesnt get any response. The restore will try this several times then eventually restart the phone to get out of the loop. As the phone gets restarted (or shutting off) itunes think the phone turned off and throws error 3.
Go to apple if it's under warranty. If not try to find where they do chip replacement as this is not something that you can do yourself.

Whatsnew page for 3.6.17 has formatting problems with Firefox and I.E.

I just updated from 3.6.16 to 3.6.17n and the whatsnew page, displayed after Firefox restarted, has formatting problems in the lower right hand corner.
I checked it with I.E. 8 and it also shows the formatting problem.
Why wasn't this caught before the page was put into "production"?
The URL is http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.6.17/whatsnew/
There is a line with the text "Release Notes » Firefox Features » Firefox Help »" that is being displayed on top of other material.
I wonder what a new Firefox user or an inexperienced user would think of this? They might think that they did something wrong or, worse, they might consider Firefox had problems and they won't use it.
This reflects badly on Firefox.
One more thing, could someone make this textarea taller and wider. It is so small as to cause problems typing and proofing the material.
The URL is https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d6&search=whatsnew+page+for+3.6.17+has+formatting+problems+with+Firefox+and+I.E.&showform=1
How about upping the cols and rows values? They are currently rows="10" cols="40"

As you have a Power Mac you also have a alternative option to consider which is a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html

Hi! Everyone, I have some problems with JOIN and Sub-query; Could you help me, Please?

Dear Sir/Madam
I'm a student who is interested in Oracle Database and
I have some problems with JOIN and Sub-query.
I hope so many of you could help me.
if i use JOIN without sub-query, may it be faster or not?
SELECT field1, field2 FROM tableA INNER JOIN tableB
if i use JOIN with sub-query, may it be faster or not?
SELECT field1,field2,field3 FROM tableA INNER JOIN (SELECT field1,field2 FROM tableB)
Thanks in advance!

As the others have said, the execution plan will give you a better idea about which is faster.
If you're trying to see how using (or not using) a sub-query affects performance, make the rest of the queries as similar as possible. For example, include field3 in both queries, or ignore field3 in both queries.
In this particular case, I guess the optimizer would do the same thing either way, but that's just a guess. I can't see your execution plans.
In general, simpler code is faster, and better in other ways, too. In this case
tableB
is simpler than
(SELECT field1, field2 FROM tableB)
Why do you want a sub-query in this example?

Dual G5 late 2004. Some problems with fan and freeze and now can't start

I just purchased a late 2004 Dual 2.5 Gig, with PCI-x and 1 gig ethernet. 1 Gig of what I presume to be factory ram and blue toothe. Connected to a new 23" Apple display.
The problems I have been having pale to where I stand now. I am stuck and can't move forward. At this point, the computer is off. When I try to turn it on, it does little to nothing and gradually the fan speed increases until the computer sounds like it wants to take off. The screen either stays dark, or sometimes I see the ? briefly, and then the grey screen with logo and that is where it stops. Currently I can't get past a lot of fan noise??
Can I get this thing started?? I have tried both starting from CD and hard drive. No luck.
This whole mess started yesterday and has continually gotten worse. Those details I can get into if needed, but for now, what can I do to see the screen and start over.
I just bought the machine, and I was doing a clean install that was acting funny. Hard drive sleep mode would cause the machine to not wake up. Specifically it was the monitor that would not wake up. The keyboard and the computer would still respond when I adjusted the volume. The screen was black.
I narrowed the problem to drive sleep, or monitor sleep by using the energy saver preferences. Just the monitor sleeping wasn't the probem. The computer would wake up. But if the hard drive went to sleep, then I could never get the screen back and the computer acted dormant. The only thing I could get was the volume sound from the computer and lights on the keyboard.
I ran Techtool Pro 4.1.2 ( i think ) and it reported possibe problems on the hard drive with the volume. I made the changes hoping that would fix the problem? No.
I decided to flush it all and start over with the install cd, make sure firmware was good, reformat the drive, and then install the System. But instead, I got caught is this loop of death that I can't get out of.
It had a kernal panic the first day I turned it on, but that was the last one. (dark screen with white message) The computer ran rather sluggish at times. I was shocked at times. Very slow finder response.
So? Suggestions? I have searched Apple support and tried anything I can think of. This is my first G5, but I have had some exposure to OSX beginning around 10.2. I am at my wits end and would greatly appreciate some input. For now I have to get some sleep.
Is my battery bad? It just won't start?
Thank you for any help you can provide, or links to articles!!

Hi Lawson, and a Warm Welcome to the Power Mac G5 Forum!
You could try a PMU/SMU reset
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300341
Use the second procedure if you have a button as shown in the photo - use the first method if you don't. You may not have to remove the intake fan assembly to get at the button. Observe static precautions and make sure to press the button once only.
Then try to start up on the CD/DVD.
If it fires up ok you could then proceed with the 10.4 install as before, and then combo update to 10.4.8
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048comboupdateppc.html
I would connect only a display, wired keyboard and mouse to start with - and disable any of the sleep, etc. Options in Energy Saver.
You may wish to use the Disk Utility on the 10.4 retail disc(under Utilities in the menu) to Erase and zero(select Security Options) the drive before the install.
The kernel panic and other problems could have been caused by a corrupted system on the boot drive, or by hardware problems, such as RAM, video card, battery, etc. Some of the hardware stuff is linked-to further down the post here
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3084827&#3084827
However, try the PMU/SMU reset and erase/install first, and post again with details if you still have problems.

IPhone SDK question. Problems with Addressbook and Addresses.

I know the api is closed as of beta but I have serious problems adding street, zip and city terms to the multivalue address property. I am doing an application for release around the new model of iphone and any information about how to use the address property would be great. I can say, phone numbers I can add as many as I like as of now its only addresses I have problems with, and sadly I can't find information anywhere, including the SDK documentation how to write these properties to a record.
I hope any of you can help me or give me a number I can call for help directly from apple.
Thank you in advance.
/Klaus

I still wonder about this, but I got a new issue and that is adding a "default" photo to the address record I am creating.
I try load my application icon from the application resources to add it to the addressbook record.
NSString* imageName = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Icon.png" ofType:nil]];
NSData *iconData = [[NSData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:imageName];
ABPersonSetImageData(person, [[iconData bytes]], nil);
Ugh the iconData gets allocated and initedWithContentsOfFile imageName. And yes it loads. Offtopic, how to mark segments as code so no fancy functions strip text and whitespace from my code exampes on the forum?
But get bad access when I try add the image to the record. I know there was some articles on blogs about this last week, but seems like they been pulled off now.

My iphone 5 has a problem with wifi. iOS 8.1.3

Problems with iMessage and Contacts after changing Apple ID

I went in on my computer to change my primary e-mail for Apple and it prompted me to change my password. After I changed the e-mail and the password, my iMessage stopped working on my computer and my iPhone. On the computer, iMessage now works through my iCloud e-mail only. I really wish it would go back to working through my cell phone number. Additionally, now all my contacts have been deleted, on the computer and the iPhone. Is there any way I can get iMessage to work through my cell phoone number on my computer again and get my contacts back on either device?

Well did you change the apple id in imessage?
settings - message - add your new id and delete the old id.
Or turn off imessage and then back on to reactivate with your new id.
