Just a heads up about if you want to return the iphone 4

i had 3 replacements and decided enough was enough, i managed to return my phone yesterday after the 14 day cooling off period due to the phone being faulty. the networks can cancel the contract up to 28 days from the start.im hoping mr jobs announces a revised handset so i can grab one that actually works:)

3 Replacements? Over in the proximity sensor thread (a problem I suffer with too btw) there are some people reporting 6, 7 and even 10 replacements. I don't have words to describe how terminally stupid someone has to be to keep getting replacements with identical faults and then repeat the process almost ad infinitum. And I don't get why Apple geniuses are willing to indulge this kind of obsessive Groundhog Day behavior. These people either need to wait for a potential firmware fix, or get their money back.

  • ***!?!?!  IF I WANT TO RETURN MY IPHONE, THEN I LOSE MY CELL NUMBER!!

    Like most, I don't often read the fine print when purchasing something, so I am guilty in this instance, but at the same time, i am completely SHOCKED!
    In case none of you experienced this yet, if you decide you want to return your iphone, did you know that you also permanently lose your cell phone number? That's right - its GONE! Both my brothers went to return their phones and were both told separately, that they could not keep their numbers.
    Has anyone else dealt with this???

    Yes, frankly, I haven't heard of this. I live in a heavy ATT/Cingular use area, and I know at least one person who returned their phone and they just swapped out the SIM card to his new phone, same phone number, same everything.
    I am thinking this only affects ported numbers, and even then, most likely from specific companies. Once your number is on a SIM card, that is your phone number, and the SIM card is usable in any other ATT/Cingular phone.
    It makes no sense considering it obviously doesn't happen if you already have ATT service.

    You can remove "this" (display of the Up Next list) by going to View > Hide Up Next in iTunes' menu.

    No.  It would simply remove them from the Up Next list.

  • //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand? um which line?

    Several of my pages are locking up and I don't know why. As I work through the code, I remembered that I altered some text in a SendEmail by directly altering the page rather than using the Server Behavior. Don't understand why that would matter but whatever...
    Now as I ponder if that is causing the problem, I ran across this commented line in the code:
    //remove this line if you want to edit the code by hand
    But are they talking about the line just after that line of //remove or do they mean the actual comment line of

  • G510 Application Not Responding. Do you want to end the process?

    I am extremely frustrated with my g510 laptop- so frustrated that I am about to go spend money on a new laptop when then one is only 10 months old.
    Computer boots fine. I start to use it. Doesn't matter what application I am running I get a message box titled Microsoft Windows: Application Not Responding...do you want to end the process.  Doesn't matter what I hit the computer will then not respond.  
    Frustrated with what was going I tried several things...eventually I gave up and just reset the laptop completely to factory and then downloaded the few programs I use and am STILL getting this message.  
    I run Mcaffe Internet Security and the "few programs I use" are Adobe CC for Photographers, Google Chrome and Yahoo Messenger.
    Anyone have any ideas or do I have a $700 boat anchor?

  • How do I sync my iPhone to iTunes on a new computer without losing everything? My old laptop's hardrive crashed and I just got it back. Now I want to sync my iPhone but it keeps telling me that it'll replace all my audio, but then I'd have no songs.

    I just lost EVERYTHING on my computer. All I have left now are my songs and photos on my iPhone. Once I got my laptop back with a brand new hardrive, I was anxious to sync my phone up to iTunes. I felt that once I had all my things on my computer, I wouldn't have to worry so much about my phone getting stolen or broken or something. (My family has a bad history with accidentally washing our phones in our laundry...) I downloaded iTunes and waited an hour for the sync to back up my phone. Once that was done, I looked in my library expecting an extremely long and comforting list of songs to appear on the screen. However, there was absolutely nothing. I looked under the music tab on my phone and checked the Sync Music box only to be greeted with a scary window threatening to replace the songs on my iPhone with the songs in my library. That would be all fine and dandy IF I actually HAD songs in my library... HELP ME. I live on my music, for my music, and because of my music. Plus, I've purchased every last song on there and I would be very, very, very, very, very angry if all those 99 cent songs (which add up) were to disappear. I'd be very, very angry indeed. Oh and my artwork is all messed up on my recent purchases for some reason. Technology doesn't like me.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • ITunes no longers asks "Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?" - Can this be fixed?

    I'm not sure if this was a recent update in Mavericks, but when I used to delete items from iTunes it would ask something along the lines of:
    Do you want to keep the original file or move to trash?
    Now I no longer get this, instead iTunes asks:
    Are you sure you want to delete the selected song from your iTunes library?
    After which, if you choose the option "Delete Song", you get no option to keep the original file, it just straight up deletes if from my library and hard drive. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? For whatever reason, I want to be able to keep the original file on my Mac, without keeping it in my iTunes library.
    I've tried resetting dialogue warning, and this hasn't made a difference.
    Thanks!

  • "Do you want to erase this iPhone?"

    Hi all-
    My wife and I recently got iPhones. My plan for my wife's phone is to sync the calendar with her Windows machine at work and everything else with our Mac at home. More details here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1719958&tstart=0
    So far she's synced up with her work calendar fine, and downloaded appplications great from my home machine. But when I try to sync media (music/video) with my media library on my home computer, I get this error:
    "{My wife's iPhone} is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
    Now, there is no music or video on her iPhone currently, so I'm assuming that it will just "erase" the empty iTunes library on the phone. But because it says "erase this iPhone" rather than "erase this iPhone's media library," I just thought I'd double check. So, my question: if I click "yes" on this, I'm not going to lose her calendar, contacts, etc., am I?
    Thanks in advance.
    Edit: I should add that I do have iTunes set up on our home computer so that it specifically should only be syncing audio, video, and applications with my wife's iPhone. But just seeing that "erase this iPhone" message makes me really anxious.

    It will only effect iTunes, since the iPhone can be synced with one iTunes library at a time--so no, you should be fine now. Just know that if you're switching between computers, you'll get that message each time.

  • Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?

    Why ON EARTH would I want to do this??  Come on Apple, copy protection aside, this is the stupidest prompt in the history of prompts.
    The basic problem (if you Google it) that many many many many legitimate purchaser's of music are running into is this prompt.  And here is why:
    1.  We have an iPhone with a bunch of purchased songs on it and was at one point working with another iTunes library.
    2.  For whatever reason our computer crashes, the computer is gone/sold, not available, dead, pick your poison, it happens.
    3.  We setup a new computer and install iTunes and get a prompt to "Authorize" this computer (apparently we get 5 authorizations total).
    4.  We try to get all the songs from our iPhone back into iTunes and click the Sync button and ...
    5.  We get the following:
    The iPhone "Your iPhone's name" is synced with another iTunes library.  Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
    An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    Really?  This is what I have to do, wipe out all my purchased songs so that iTunes and sync with a new library?  At what point did Apple think this idea was even remotely in the best interest of their customers?  Seriously?
    So now I'm stuck with an iPhone with songs on it, a computer with songs on it, but neither able transfer songs ... Happy Happy Joy Joy.  This is NUTS!?  Why punish people that you can verify they've purchased their songs with this bizarre scheme ... and further more, what if some of my songs on my iPhone were brought in from a valid CD purchase?
    So my only way out of this craziness, is to use a 3rd party app that will hack the transfer for me?  This is good how?  I'm sorry, but at what point did Apple's $40 Billion (yes Billion) profit for 2012 instigated this sort of treatment to valid paying customers?
    So ... here I am, anyone have a solution to this using "valid" means (without losing all my music) or is 3rd party hacks my only option?

    tt2,
    So if I understand you correctly ... I can't move or sync content that was imported via my own CD's that is now on my iPhone back over to my computer?
    Not with iTunes as your only tool, no.
    The ONLY way I can proceed is with an iPhone backup and then restore that iPhone backup to my computer rather than my iPhone?  I assume this will trigger yet another "used activation"?
    No you need a third party tool that will copy your other non-iTunes purchased media and photos not in the cameral roll across to your computer. (Some are listed, you can search the web for others).
    When you have recovered all the media you want you can then backup the iPhone to the computer (this backup ONLY includes application data and settings, and the cameral roll. After you have backed up this data to the computer you can then immediately restore the recently made backup to the iPhone. The data in the backup will obviously be copied back but all media must have been added to the library or it will be removed from the device.
    Your lost computer will count as an "activation" as will the new one. Apple devices don't add to the count. You can reset all your activations (including those you can't physically access) every 12 months should the need arise.
    Am I the only one that thinks this is the most crazy and bizarre process of simply moving a music file from one of my devices to another of my devices?  Especially ones that were imported from CDs.
    You still have the CDs? You can import them again. You sold, gave away, threw away the originals? Technically you no longer have the right to listen to the tracks you ripped. Is it inconvenient? Sure. One might argue that the very reason Apple & iTunes were able to drive the move to digital music to start with is that their system was designed to prevent the casual use of their devices as a means for "the kids" to simply "gift" their music libraries to each other without the tediously time-wasting efforts that the previous generation had to go through with home-taping. This no doubt helped get the content owners on board. Of course memory sticks and portable hard drives now make it trivially easy to copy content from one computer to another and indeed to simply backup your own content against a disaster but most people don't do either. Likewise they don't read instructions or terms and conditions until they are inconvenienced, and then complain. You and I might both wish iTunes made it easier, but it doesn't. And this isn't the place to complain about it. Use iTunes Feedback. You want help, it has been offered. Please read and inwardly digest it all properly this time. It does explain what you need to do to recover your data and safeguard it for the future.

  • Computer says: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on "localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"

    Hi,
    I just bought an I-Phone 5S. When plugging it to my Macbook for the 1st time to copy music from my I-Tunes, this message comes up: "The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on “localhost". Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
    Pls help. I'm always so scared I can loose all my contacts if i am to answer "yes". Also, why am I being told the IPhone is synced with another ITunes Library when it's litterally not been connected to any at all? I dont get it.
    What shall I do?
    Thanks for your help,
    Myzin.

    This would indicate that you bought a Used iPhone and/or have Connected it to another iTunes Library.
    By design an iPhone can only sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

    I just bought a new IMAC and I want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

    Howard has the easiest answer. Or at least, cheapest, since you don't need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive.
    The "demo" software from Microsoft's site is exactly the same as what's on the DVD. Install that and activate it with the key in your software box.
    From Microsoft's site:
    How do I install Office for Mac 2011 if my Mac doesn't have a DVD drive?
    There are two options for installing Office for Mac if your Mac doesn't have a DVD drive.
    Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
    1. Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
    2. Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
    3. On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
    4. Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
    Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
    1. Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
    2. Go to www.officeformac.com/download
    3. Click Get Started to start the download process.
    4. When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
    5. When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
    6. After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
    7. Click Download Now to start the download.
    8. Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
    9. When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
    10. Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

  • If you want to access the PowerShell 3.0 Help in another language please vote for my Connect suggestion!

    All my Windows operating Systems are set to use the UI Culture: German
    With Update-Help or Save-Help you can download PowerShell help in different (any) language by use of the –UICulture parameter.
    Update-Help –UICulture en-US
    Because my Windows OS is set to use the German UI Culture and the Cmdlet Get-Help depends on it, I cannot access PowerShell help in a different Language (English) with Get-Help.
    There is still no translated German PowerShell help and even if I have installed the en-US verbose Help files I cannot use it (easily)!
    I made a suggestion on Microsoft Connect to add the –UICulture Parameter to the Get-Help Cmdlet, to make it possible to call Help in a different language then the Windows Ui Culture.
    As a workaround until then you can use the  .NET Class [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture to set the UI Culture and get Help in a different language.
    Function Get-HelpUICulture {
    param (
    [String]$HelpSearchString,
    [String]$UICulture
    # remember the UICulture
    $OldCulture = [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture
    trap
    [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $OldCulture
    # set thread to given UICulture
    [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $UICulture
    # call powershell help in given language
    Get-Help $HelpSearchString -Full
    # reset UICulture
    [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = $OldCulture
    # Example: call PowerShell en-US help in verbose English:
    Get-HelpUICulture -HelpSearchString Get-Command -UICulture ‘en-US’

    Okay everybody...so I'm on the struggle bus so I'm going from Photoshop cs6 off my old broken laptop to trying to dwn Photoshop Cs2...either way I love PS. Now when I tried downloading it for free from Adobe...succeeded...but when I went to the download folder to install it, it said "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?" I mean....what would you do? Is it safe to click yes....(Don Don Don...*sound effect*)..please help...

    If you already have a license for photoshop cs6, why do you want photoshop cs2?
    You can just install photoshop cs6 on your new computer provided both operating systems are the same kind (both mac or both windows)
    If you don't have an install dvd for cs6, you can download photoshop cs6 from here and use your serial:
