IPhone 5 Newbie-Best way for non-tech savvy to start?

I'm a non tech savvy 60 something lady who has just switched from an old flip phone to the iPhone 5 16gb (yesterday!) with Verizon. What would be the best use of my time to learn how it all works? I want to get good at making and receiving calls, sending and receiving texts, backing up my phone, knowing how to protect and extend the battery life, etc. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! This morning, battery is low so I figure out I'd better learn how to charge it quickly. First, I had to figure out how to take it out of my Otter Box to find where to charge it. Then, I plugged my home charger in the phone and the electrical outlet, but nothing seems to be happening. My battery symbol just has a little thin red line showing. I tried calling Verizon and they told me to take it back to the store where I bought it. I tried calling Apple, but they wanted my phone serial number and I don't know where to find it. Is it the number on the box, or the one engraved on the back of the phone, or the numbers on my store purchase receipt? I know you experienced users think I must be dense, but this is all making me crazy!

    ingridlisa,
    I'd suggest to ask them to create Shared PhotoStreams and to invite you to view the streams, see:

    Will you be collecting the photos in iPhoto on your iPhone or on a Mac? On a Mac a Shared PhotoStream requires Mac OS X 10.8.2.

  • What is the best way for sharing an iPad with 2 iPhones using different Apple acount ?

    What is the best way for sharing an iPad with 2 iPhones using different Apple acount ?

    You can't share with other devices if you are using different Apple ID's and iTunes account on them. You can only share if you use the same ID.

  • Best way for capturing HDV

    Best way for capturing HDV
    using easy setup setted to HDV1080 50i (camera is a Sony HDV HC1) captured video look like sh...
    and when exported with compressor is worst!
    some idea?

    Ok fantastic ! you are right (the frustration was talking for me)
    video is shooted in 16:9 HDV 1080 50i
    Captured video looks:
    full of orizontal lines (that look like scan lines) expecially evident on figure edges and on motion subjects
    and
    like it was resized 1440x1080i from a different lower resolution
    video is exported with compressor
    MPEG-2 3.7Mbps 2-pass 16:9
    Description: Fits up to 150 minutes of video with Dolby Digital audio at 192 Kbps or 120 minutes with AIFF audio on a DVD-5
    File Extension: m2v
    Video Encoder
    Format: M2V
    Width and Height: Automatic
    Pixel aspect ratio: default
    Crop: None
    Frame rate: (100% of source)
    Frame Controls: Automatic
    Aspect ratio: 16:9
    Field dominance: Auto detect
    Average data rate: 3.7 (Mbps)
    2 Pass VBR enabled
    Maximum data rate: 7.5 (Mbps)
    High quality
    Best motion estimation
    Closed GOP Size: 1/2 second, Structure: IBBP
    DVD Studio Pro meta-data enabled
    In these case the first problem is i can't obtain 16:9 format an the lines becomes more more evidents
    software is Final cut Studio HD
    camera is Sony HDV HC1e
    hope I wrote all the info
    Thx

  • What's the best way for home sharing to iDevices without iTunes?

    What's the best way for home sharing movies and tv shows on my iDevices?  I know I can use home sharing through iTunes, but I'm looking for a way to share videos to my iDevices without having to leave my computer on.  I have a MacPro, iPhone, iPad, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express (and several external hard drives).  Can anyone suggest an app that would do this?  Can I have videos on an external hd attached to an Airport Extreme/Express and have it stream without iTunes?

    If your "server" is new enough to run Mountain Lion, you can purchase the OS X Server app from the Mac App store and you'll have everything you need to host a NetInstall (NetBoot) server.
    If your machine does not support Mountain Lion, you'll need to purchase the appropriate Mac OS X Server software (i.e. Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server)
    From there you can host NetInstall or NetRestore images, depending on your preferred workflow, which can be created using System Image Utility.
    As Richard points out you can also use Deploy Studio which, again depending on your preferred workflow, might simplify things.

  • The BEST way for recharge iPhone4.

    Hy to all!
    My answer is:
    Which is the BEST way for recharge the iPhone4?
    When the battery is completely to %0 or not?
    Finally, the iPhone when is in recharge mode, the best way is that it is turned on or turned off? Because if it's are turned off, how i understand that are 100% recharged?
    Thank you!

    I agree that you can't charge while off unless it is completely flat. Even then when it has charged for a while the phone switches back on. Just tried again to make sure and as soon as I plugged the charger in the phone turned on.
    Hi, Actually an iPhone can be charged when off at any time, not just when totally exhausted. It is true the the phone will turn on when plugged in if it's off to begin with, however, if it is turned off after being plugged in, it will indeed charge. This is how I habitually charge mine overnight.

  • What are the best ways (for best performance) in MII to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?

    Hi All,
    Can you please suggest to choose the best ways (for best performance) in MII (12.2 on NW 7.3), to process the incoming process messages from shop floor systems to SAP ECC 6.0 and vice versa?
    Thanks

    Hi Surya,
    Best practices for flow of data from ECC --> SAP MII --> Shop floor & Vice verse:
    1. Send ECC data through IDOC's/RFC's as messages to SAP MII message listener and BSL transaction process data and update directly on shop floor database as if you configured in Data services or later send those data by web service to shop floor system (i.e. depends on Shop floor machines).
    From Shop floor:
    shop floor --> SAP MII --> ECC
    1. Use either Web service or fetch data from DB and pass data to BAPI's  for sending to ECC through BLS transaction.

  • Best way for building an application main frame

    I'm about to program a desktop application.
    The main frame will have menus, toolbar, status bar etc.
    There will be a lot of interaction between the menus, toolbar buttons and other custom gui components (such as an editor).
    My question is which is the best way for building it.
    Cramming all the code in one class file is out of the question.
    I thought about making my own custom JFrame and add API functions like for it so different GUI elements can be accessed.
    Each component which will be manipulated will be in its own class file with the constructor accepting a reference to my custom JFrame object which it is contained in.
    Any suggestions on the matter would be of great help since I've never done extensive Swing programming before.
    P.S.
    The application makes extensive use of RMI.
    What considerations should I take into account (except using SwingUtilities.invokeLater()) ?

    Hi,
    I have replied on this subject somewhere else today but what I do is have one simple entry point where I just instanciate a JFrame.
    On that frame I have a main JPanel. On that panel I add new objects like JPanels, tabs etc.
    I keep each new panel in a separate source as it is easier when the application grows, and it will. That also means that several programers can work with the same application without interfearing each other.
    I hope you understand what I mean the the thing is to split up the code into several sources.
    It may not suit everyone but I found this approach to be the best for me.

  • HT4914 I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    I purchased iMatch because my old computer was failing and I was afraid of losing my music library. Now I bought a new laptop; what is the best way for me to transfer my library to my new laptop? Will iMatch help me do this?

    Is/was failing or has failed?
    If the old computer still runs one of these methods may be best.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    I don't have personal experience with iTunes Match, but in principle you should be able to download all the tracks currently registered to your iTunes Match account. This isn't quite the same as restoring your previous library exactly as it was. There is always the potential for iTunes match to provide the wrong version of a song and could be content such as movies, podcasts, audiobooks etc. that would have been excluded.

    You will need a Mac, with OS X 10.6+ on it, to be able to develop iOS apps.
    There is some info on these pages :

  • Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC

    Hello, what is the best way for me to convert RW2 raw format for use in Photoshop CC. I would appreciate any help with this.

    Thanks for the quick help. I do have to leave for work. When I try to
    download the images from the camera they seem to only be in jpeg (I don't
    see any rw2 or raw files to download). If I select the jpeg file it seems
    to only download a jpeg file. I do understand that I do have the option to
    open the jpeg in RAW. In doing this, is all the extra information included
    in the RAW file there or is it lost coming from the camera
    Once again thank you for trying to make me understand how this works.
    Have a great day.
