Is there a phone application for the iphone that is more Senior friendly then the Apple app that comes with it?
My Dad who is 81 is finding his iphone difficult to use. At first I was surprised that he struggles to use it. He had no problems using his old style cell phone. But after trying to teach him how to use the iphone I can now see why he struggles with it. If the phone could have the features I've listed below it would make things so much easier for him.
1) With the exception of incoming phone calls, the phone app always opens to the same screen. This screen gives the choices of Favorites, Recents, Contacts, Keyboard and Voicemail in big blocks in the center of the screen.
2) There is a setting for the speaker so that it can be set to always be on. If the user doesn't want the speaker for a particular call or voice mail message there is a button on the screen to turn it off temporarily on the upper right corner.
3) The dot button used to listen to a voicemail message is a bigger dot. And it remains visible after listening to the message. It changes color rather then completely disappearing after listening to the message.
4) The upper left corner is reserved for only edit or to navigate back buttobs. The phone app has a greeting button in this spot on the Voicemail screen. A better place for recording a greeting would be in settings.

I'm trying to update my iPhone and I go to ``settings'' then ``general'' and at that point I should see ``software update.'' But it's simply not there, that line does not exist in my phone. What can I do?
This featue is only available on iphone running ios 5 or later.
Update as you always have, via itunes.

Launch Safari on your iPhone.
Type this in the address bar: http://store.apple.com/us
Then tap Account right side of the window (just above New to the Store) then tap View Order History and sign in. -
hey guyz.. i wanna ask if i get an updated version from itunes when i plug my iPhone into the Pc, i get a letter tells me that there is an update for your iPhone ... i wanna ask is it safe to download ?? and does it make any side effects on longTerm using ??
It is safe to download if your phone is not jailbroken. Before you download it, however, take some precautions:
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall
Connect the phone cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
Before updating right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup"
When you are given the choice choose "Download only", not "Download and Update"
After the download completes successfully click the Update button to install it.
Most of these steps are just being overly cautious, as most people ignore them and have no problems. But occasionally the extra steps save grief. -
Hi. I just got the iPhone 6, plugged into itunes and made the mistake of putting an OLD back up on my new phone resulting in losing all contacts after 2013. They are not saved on the cloud. Is there any way to go back to before I screwed up?
If you have performed a sync with the device since you restored this old backup, then don't bother looking for another backup. iTunes writes over the last backup each time you sync. If you were handling contacts in iCloud, you would find them by logging into iCloud. Or you can check settings and iCloud and see if the button it on for Contacts. Otherwise it might have been on the computer, if you had a program that syncs with iTunes and handles contacts, depending on the computer system you use. If Windows, it would be Windows Contacts or Outlook. If a Mac, there is a Mac Address book as well.

I had an app which disables an iPhone to connect to the internet via mobile network. In the meantime I have deleted that app but it still affects my phone. For example iPhone shows that 3G sign on the top (next to the time) but it is unable to open any website. Is there anything I can do about it?
What was the app you are referring to? I'm not aware of anything on the app store that is designed to do that, unless you're talking about an app that was causing a problem...
Was/is your phone jailbroken? -

There is an app I want to purchase for my iphone , but can't find it on the app store from my MacBook Pro. I have credit on the Mac Book, but can't see it from iphone.
Are you checking from within the Apps section of iTunes on your computer? Is there a reason you can't download it directly to the iPhone?

This is the app:

File share the .dictionary file to your ipad and then add it from the list of addable languages. It took a minute for it to show up on my ipad but it DID work. It is working with iBooks.
Happy reading.
Thanks for the help and suggestions. -

I am having the same issue here... just upgraded my 5s to 7.1.1 (never jailbroken - factory unlocked) and then boom... NO Service!!! Searching ... that's it. currently using Smart Telecom Sim... at first it was working for me... after 6-7 hours, it started the No Service issue. I cannot send a text or make a call...
I did the steps you have taken but it is still not working... any updates on your end? -
I have the iPhone 4S. Since I updated to the iOS 6 my phone keeps freezing and the apps crash all the time. Sometimes it freezes up to a minute. And there's no way of fixing that. Is apple going to fix this? I'm not the only one having this problem.
You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4) -
iPhone 4 won't slide to unlock . I tried everything possible and even got my phone replaced fora new one costing me 10,282 Rupees . The new phone is again having the same problem even without adding any apps or taking data backup
Yeah, first my thought was also that... that's why I've gone to Apple and they already switched the phone twice!!!
Last time was yesterday... I posted this here because I came from Apple and with a new iPhone 5, although I didn't restore anything from iCloud, I hadn't even logged in to iCloud / AppStore, and without any event on the lockscreen my iPhone 5 was already "locked" on the unlock screen... after a mere 45m after I used it without a single App!! Just a couple of SMS / 1 or 2 calls... I'm going to Apple again on monday, but tried to post here to see if this has happened before to anyone with 3 new iPhones!!! -
Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.gsharp01 wrote:

The short answer is yes.
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Open Image Capture application.
Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.
