Iphone isssue or uknown fact ?

Hello dear readers,
I'm new to these forums here, and overal to the apple company, as the only thing i own from them is an Iphone 3G 16G. But that's not what i want to talk/ask about in here. The reason is, i don't know if it's a bug or that any of you guys out there have experienced it. I've installed the 2.2 firmware and yes it's true the signal does play tricks on you sometimes, it's just not as reliable or strong as it was with 2.1. However, when calling on an edge network (you can't be connected to the 3G network all the time , mainly because of the coverage) when trying to multitask, not app multitasking, but simply, when calling and then trying to access the browser or check my email, i simply can't because the edge disapears and the phone states and error that goes something like this: "cellular date connections are not available during this call." Just try it and tell me what happens; turn your 3G off and try making a call and then, during the call try opening your safari or email. I want to know if this is an individual problem and how to solve it or if it is the same for everyone.Thank you. Iphone user from Slovakia, Europe.

You cannot be on the internet and on a call at the same time with Edge.
That is one of the benefits of 3G, as it does allow for this.
" If not on 3G, while iPhone is actively transferring data over the cellular data network—downloading a webpage, for example—you may not be able to receive calls. Incoming calls may go to voicemail."

I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC is not recognizing my iphone

I am having several problems. I recently upgraded to ios7 and now my PC (Windows 7) is not recognizing my iphone. 1) I am getting an error message when itunes opens: "Itunes could not connect to the iphone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iphone before it can be used with itunes." How did it get locked and how do I unlock it without losing my data? What do they mean by passcode? I don't have a 4-number code to get into my iphone activated. In fact, I've never had a passcode.
2) I cannot download my photos from my iphone onto my computer because my computer doesn't recognize my iphone. In other words, my iphone does not show up on my computer (no iphone icon, no DCIM folder).
3) This is a separate issue but it is also very confusing: I went online to check my iCloud and I cannot see any data (icloud.com). But I know that I set up iCloud when I upgraded to ios7 and it backs up my data every night. What am I doing wrong, am I unable to see my data and photos?
Why is this happening? It was bad enough that when I upgraded to ios7, I lost my Notes - I have no idea why they didn't return. But now essentially my iphone is not recognized when connected to my computer and this is very frustrating. I have read numerous previous postings regarding downloading photos onto the PC and regarding this passcode error and cannot find a resolution, so I would appreciate any help.

No problem!
This will make it easy for you:

Using iPhone Maps App abroad

I should start by saying that I have no problems with Maps on my iPhone 3G.
In fact I seem to have a magic iPhone judging by the posts and questions elsewhere.
My iPhone, with data roaming turned off - wifi off - 3G off, and with only a very basic 2G network with O2 in rural Wales and with only 1 to 2 bars of signal, quickly uploads the Google maps to the highest resolution (less than 1 minute). And no, the maps were not already cached on my iPhone unless someone stole it, went the remote location, used the maps app, then sneakily returned the phone. Neither do I suffer from memory lapses, nor Alzheimer's (though my children might disagree).
My questions are;
1) does this (marvellous) service actually operate over a bog standard mobile network connection?
2) will it work as well anywhere in the world with a bog standard mobile network connection?
3) will it cost me 'roaming' minutes to use the Maps app abroad.
Many thanks,

Thanks for the info. I take it then that you don't need Wifi, Edge, or 3G for Maps to work which is good news, and contrary to many of the posts I have read.
Bog standard means 'basic' thought to be a corruption of 'box standard' as in 'vanilla', 'no frills' etc. Usually used in a slightly derogatory manner, as in "my kids have ended up in a 'bog standard' school".
Thanks again.

Can not update iTunes because I have iMac with 10.5.8 . How I will sync my iphone 6.0 with an older version of iTunes on my iMac???? There is no update for the software of my iMac and no update for the iTunes.... So how can I sync????

Requirements for iPhone 5:
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.7 or later
The highest version of iTunes you can install is 10.6.3 which will not sync with the iPhone 5.

It's always a good idea to check the requirements before purchasing.
The person I spoke with at 1-800-MY-APPLE gave me totally different info...she said the iPhone 5 would in fact sync with the older version of iTunes and that I could restore from my previous iPhone 4 backup and also bring in my music that way. Hmmm....
I'm inclined to go by the published specs, but now I have to jump thru a bunch of hoops I wasn't expecting to.

Can the 4th gen iPod Touch run the same apps as iPhone 4?

I am sorry, I'm not much informed about stuff like this, so I'm pretty much a noob.
I got my eye on the new iPod Touch, especially because it is (from what I've read) an iPhone 4 without the phone and the GPS and a somewhat slightly inferior camera and display. I like the iPhone, too, of course, but the price is something that is really important to me, so it's iPod Touch for me.
I read about all the new features for the new iPod, such as games and other apps, but I'm wondering - can it run the same games apps as the iPhone?
From the fact they operate on the same OS and that they're very similar hardware wise (same processor) I concluded that they can run the same apps, but as I never seen it officially and as there only "iPhone apps" on iTunes store (not iPod Touch apps) I got the impression that might not be true.
So I am asking here now, does the latest iPod Touch run the same apps (games etc.) as the latest iPhone? And can I run the iPhone apps I buy from the appstore on the iPod Touch 4th gen?
I am sorry for my uninformativeness and I thank you in advance.

Most of the iPhone apps will work the same way on the 4G iPod as they do on the phone. However, other that rely on the specific feature unique to the phone may install but will not work well if at all. The App Store should identify the system/device requirements.

Events showing on iPhone but not in MobileMe or iCal - Help!

Hello. I wonder if someone can help please. This problem has been going on for a little while and is not specific to the iPhone 4, it also occurred on my iPhone 3G before this so it's not hardware specific.
I use MobileMe to sync Contacts, Calendars and Bookmarks to my iMac. It works beautifully and I'm happy with that. However, I've started to notice that recent birthday events (simple annual repeating events with a title something like "John Wood's birthday) are repeating themselves on my iPhone - only. In fact, sometimes one is repeated and then a slightly differently titled event also appears on the iPhone, like "John's birthday" plus "John Wood's birthday". The odd thing is I can't find the duplicate or slightly different events anywhere in iCal or the MobileMe calendar and I also can't delete them from the iPhone as there is no Edit option.
One example is that I had an event for my friend Jane Mulberry, which said "Jane Mulberry's birthday". This was set to repeat every year and I would then add some text into the Notes field indicating whether I'd sent a card or not. Jane got married, so at some stage I must have edited or added another entry, as there is an additional entry (only on the iPhone) which says "Jane Cumberland's birthday" (her new married name). So, I have two entries but can only edit the older one in her maiden name. The new one (Jane Cumberland's birthday) cannot be edited and I can't find any trace of it in iCal or MobileMe.
I'm rather bemused and have been looking at this occasionally over the last few months without finding a solution - and it's getting a bit irritating now!
Please note that I am rather reluctant to start deleting whole calendars etc, although I do appreciate something drastic might have to be attempted. It's just that my husband and I use the calendar a lot! He syncs his iPod Touch via MobileMe as well and we have a calendar each.
By the way, the birthday events issue is only in mine.
I hope this is a clear explanation of the issue.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
P.S. I don't sync any contacts, calendar events or mail via iTunes. It's all done only via MobileMe.

The entries you are now seeing are held in a special Birthdays calendar that has been implemented in iOS4.
The Calendar gets its information from your Contacts on the iPhone.
It can be switched off by deselecting it in the Calendars page (top left button in the Calendars app)
The Mac also has a similar Birthdays Calendar that gets its info from the Apple Address Book and can be switched on/off as required (Find it under "Subscriptions" in the left hand pane of iCal, or in Preferences, General, Show Birthday Calendar)

ITunes 10.6.3.25 on ethernet connection loses airport express speakers but iPhone 4 airplay works

Hi,
I have started experiencing a problem this past week (Aug 2012) that I see sometimes reported here. When I run iTunes 10.6.3.25 on a Win7 machine that is connected by ethernet to my router, the airport express speakers would regularly disappear. I can always connect to these airport express via airplay from my iPhone 4. In fact when the airplay speakers disappear from iTunes on the ethernet-connected machine, I can reliably make them reappear by turning on the Music app on the iPhone. But after a while the airplay speakers would disappear again. On a Win7 laptop connected via wifi to the network the same version of iTunes seems so far not to exhibit the same problem.
Has anyone discovered what the underlying problem is or found a solution?

I ran into the specific problem in another thread. There are more than 100 connections from the apple TV's to iTunes. You can do a netstat -a (windows or Mac), and verify the problem. iTunes is smart enough to stop allowing more than 100 connections but stupid to allow the ATV to create so many connections.
Now for what you really want! Set all of your ATVs to wifi only. Even setting the iTunes host to wifi might help also. I think that wifi is more unreliable, and forces connections to drop, keeping the count under 100.
I also turned off ip v6. That could help you also. I originally had problems on a Mac mini, and built a windows 7 box to try to fix the problem. The wifi trick worked on both platforms. Several of us have bug reports into apple. I have a wired house also, and am very angry to NEED to use slow wifi to overcome this problem. The ATV gen 3 has been able to keep up with 1080p over wifi, so it doesn't hurt too much. What really hurts is spending over 40 hours troubleshooting this bug.

IMessage & 10.8.2 Stopping Incoming Text Messages to iPhone 5?

I'm using Moutain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhone 5 ios 6.0.2. Both are updated to the latest versions of software available at this time.
I've been working at home today and using iMessage on my Macbook Pro Retina which has worked fine with sending and recieving - if I wans't actively using my mac my phone would sound, if I was using my mac the message would come straight through to my iMessage on my desktop - works fine!
However, I just sent a normal,non iMessage text message to a friend and suddenly about 5 normal text messages have come into my iPhone inbox with times sent much earlier today (some quite urgent work related ones as well, annoying). I definitely didn't miss them, they literally came in, the phone vibrated and the unread count in the inbox went up seconds after I pressed "send" of the normal text message.
I'm with O2 here in the UK, I have just checked the "service status" on their website and there are no reported issues. Just sent a normal text message from a family member's phone and it came through fine but I'm put off using iMessage on my mac if it delays receipt of normal text messages to my phone.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Can I do anything to rectify it? Very inconvenient..!

Hi,
Broadly speaking to be effective in Syncing (Displaying in all Places) requires that there was a "Start Point" for the iMessages server to begin syncing the iMessages to iPhone, iPads and Macs running Messages once the Apple ID is in place.
Most people seem to state the opposite happens for them - their iPhone gets iMessages that the Mac does not.
The most likely cause for this is that the iPhone Number is not an Receive Alias on the Mac version and that iPhone to iPhone iMessages are in fact almost "Private".
I would start by checking the iPhone Number is in the Mac version of Messages as an iMessage alias.
I would then check the iPhone that the Apple ID involved is In the settings and is ticked as Active.
If all are present I would turn Off Messages on the iPhone or put in Airplane mode for a few minutes.
After you have turned it On again then Restart Messages on the Mac.
If you are short of Apple IDs and iPhone numbers you will get alert messages from the iMessages server saying the Apple ID and iPhone number are being used with the devices involved

My IPhone 3G reception fixed, a new problem - AT&T *real* data speeds

I've read quite a few topics on this forum regarding the poor IPhone 3G reception, and unfortunately 99% of them are emotions, making it very laborious to distill useful info out of them.
Therefore I'd like to post my personal experience so far with IPhone 3g, listing more facts, than emotions. *I hope this will help some of you, and also hope that others will follow a more structured approach to reporting IPhone 3g problems*.
*IPhone 3G Model MB046LL, 2.0.1 firmware*
I got my IPhone 3g black 16gb version in NJ on August 2nd, model MB046LL. I work in IT, and I was overall very impressed with all of its features. However, the device had 2 major problems - 3g reception was highly unstable, and the actual 3g data speeds were far lower than advertised, 200kb on average for download and 30kb on average for upload.
I called AT&T, they said I was in the zone with "the best 3g coverage". I went to an AT&T store, and had my SIM card swapped from #3022 to a newer one, #4022. Swapping the SIM card drastically improved both 3g reception and the data speeds.
Unfortunately, I noticed that my IPhone 3g was picking up not as many bars of 3g as other Iphone 3g sitting next to me. The actual dbm numbers for 3g were also smaller. I would continue having dropped calls. I also noticed that my battery would fully recharge very fast (within 1.3 hours), and would fully discharge much faster than it was advertised. The GPS was acting weird, and the voice quality would sometimes be horrible even with 5 bars of 3g. There were more anomalies with that phone, e.g. download speed of 20-30kb with 5 bars of 3g, among other things. I would diligently take screenshots of every anomaly I saw, and store them on the phone. Restoring the phone to its factory state did not help.
After some time, I concluded there was still something wrong my IPhone, scheduled a Genius Bar appointment, and had it replaced with a brand new IPhone 3g. Having numerous screenshots of different problems minimized the explanations to a minimum.
*IPhone 3G Model MB048LL, 2.0.1 firmware*
I had a chance to compare the new model with the previous one I had - the build felt a bit different. The screen on this new model has a slightly better contrast, too (compared default factory settings).
*The new model, however, has GREAT 3g reception*. Where with the previous model I had 2-3 bars of 3g, I now have 5 bars. The dbm numbers are also somewhat improved. I had a couple of small issues with apps, etc., but I figured them out - found which apps were crashing the system, and deleted them, cleaned up the old backups and the crash diagnostic crash reports from the previous model, etc. Finally all other problems I was having with the previous model are now gone, too, except the quirkiness of the GPS, but I suspect it's the new firmware, and not much I can do about it. I have yet to see a dropped call on this new model.
However this new model identified a new problem, something that I'd suspected for some time: it appears that the problems people are having could indeed be the combination of IPhone hardware/software and AT&T network.
I noticed the data speeds vary significantly throughout the day, even when you sit at the same desk. I noticed the speed drops significantly approximately during lunch time to ~90-300kb for download, would be ok during the day (~200-350kb for download), and would be AWESOME after 10pm - ~0.9 - 1.4Mbs.
One can make a conclusion here that AT&T simply does not have enough network capacity to handle the peak data load, when many people connect on the network. It could be that IPhone's software does not manage very well under such conditions, but I'd would place more blame on AT&T in this case, considering how exceptionally well IPhone performs during other times.
I'd like to point out that although both Apple and AT&T reps were genuinely trying to be helpful, I could clearly see that not one person I talked to on both sides did not have a clear solution how to resolve the problems I was having. Basically, I had to figure out what the problem could be, and use the resources available to try to solve it - be that replacing the phone, restoring from backups, monitoring the crash logs for problematic apps, etc.

I would constructively suggest that you edit your post pretty quickly if you want to avoid a highly deserved, verbal battering from every unemotional, highly rational and intelligent poster on this forum who might take offence to your demeaning attitude. I think to assume that because people who have posted on here have posted at all because they are emotional basket-cases, or in some way out of control of their emotions merely because they have aired their disappointment/disgust/anger with their sub-functioning iPhones is pretty insulting and undeserved. Whatever YOU have written here, or have experienced elsewhere, still only has the value of 1 (ONE). It is a poll of 1. It is an opinion of 1. No more valid than that, no more authority than that.

3GS doesn't fit into iPhone Bluetooth Headset cradle?

Just got my first iPhone, the 3GS. However, I already own the iPhone Bluetooth headset, which comes with a cradle that it supposed to accommodate the bluetooth and the iPhone. Since the new 3GS supposedly has the same dimensions as previous phones, it should fit, right?
I tried putting the 3GS into the cradle and the latter was a tiny bit too small. The phone almost fit in the port but didn't, and I didn't want to force it. Anyone know if it's supposed to fit?

It is not supposed to fit, and murray65 is correct - Apple never made a dual dock for the iPhone 3G, and in fact, early this year they discontinued the Apple Bluetooth Headset. You can either just use the travel cable to charge both devices, or you can use a Dremel (or carton knife, etc.) to widen the opening in the dock for the iPhone to accommodate the slightly larger and more rounded iPhone 3GS. See the last few posts in this thread for some links to pics of the process.

IPhone is disabled - I don't know my "Find My iPhone" passcode

Hello all! I need help with my iPhone. It has been disabled by the "Find My iPhone" app. I'm not certain about how this happened, but it happened while my 4-year-old son and I were using my iPhone's "Find my iPhone" feature to try to locate my son's iPod Touch. While I was out of the room retrieving my son's iPod Touch, he was playing around with my iPhone. When I re-entered the bedroom, my son was typing random numbers into the Passcode entry boxes. By the time I got the iPhone out of his hands, he had apparently successfully completed the process of setting up the Remote Lock feature on my iPhone. Given the fact that he had no idea what he was doing while he was doing it, he was unable to remember which numbers he had entered, and all he could say was that he thought he had been unsuccessful in doing whatever it was that he was attempting to do.
After I tried and failed to guess the right passcode several times over the course of a couple of hours, my phone was disabled. When I turn it on, it says to connect the iPhone to iTunes on my MacBook Pro. I've done that. In fact, the iPhone is still plugged into a USB port on my laptop. But when I log in to iTunes, nothing happens. My phone remains disabled (except for the ability to dial 911), and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to unlock and/or restore the backed up data onto my iPhone. My most recent iCloud backup was yesterday.
Can anyone tell me what to do to unlock my phone?
Thank you!!

My iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!

Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
Oh John.... Oh Marsha.....

That is absolutely impossible. Siri requires an iPhone 4S or later.
if your friend really does have Siri working on an earlier iPhone, it was in fact jailbroken, and you will get no help from this forum at all.

My iPhone 4 calender has no invite button on it HELP.

My iPhone 4 calender app has no field for adding an invite to an event. I have looked at my friends phone as its same make 4 and she has the app on her's. Or is there a calender app to use? Please don't send "settings - icloud - calendar - ON." as it is set that way and has nothing to do with an invite function.

That is absolutely impossible. Siri requires an iPhone 4S or later.
