Light shining through,is your iPhone the same?

Just purchased an iphone 3gs from apple online and noticed it has light coming through from sides of the phone between bezel and screen is this a fault?can be seen especially in the dark,has anyone else had this problem with their iPhones?thanks

Hi
This is a gasket fault you'll need your iphone replaceing ether with apple or your place of purchase!
What will happen over time is dust will get down there and get behind your display and you can't clean it without voiding your warenty.
Basically its a manufacturing flaw I am returning my iphone for a little fault with my gasket but I have no light leak but its still anoying having a gap!
Hope that helps!

Lights Shining Through Sides of iPhone?

i just got my third iphone, after two that had problems with them, and noticed something that i hadnt on my previous ones. on the front pannel, where the screen is, there are four areas that look like theyre either not patched well or something, where the light from the screen shines through. theyre not huge, just dots/specks of light. theres one on both left and right sides of the top and bottom black pannels, where the black meets the silver trim. does anyone else have this? sorry if i didnt explain it too well...

Let me get this straight. You "sold the other two", "that had problems with them"?
Why are there so many QC problems? In my eyes, and my experience, there aren't. We have three iPhones in my immediate family, two bought on day one, and all three have never missed a beat. The experience has been the same for members of my extended family and numerous friends. No synch issues, no hardware issues, no software issues, not a scratch even though two are used by teens and without cases.
This makes you posting hard to believe. Are you saying that because you have no sync issues, no hardware issues, no scratches, or other such problems that the remainder of the people posting to this thread are experiencing "fictitious" failures. Come on, just because you are not experiencing what appears to be QC problems does not mean they are not there or they are not having issues.
I too do not experience many of the problems that other are experiencing but I do acknowledge that others are having problems regardless of what they may be. My concerns are with functionality.
Not pointing the finger at anyone, but I wonder how much of the complaining and commiserating on this board comes from people who are just plain poor at understanding and using complex consumer electronics, people who are are buying and selling iPhones of questionable origin, or folks who contrive stories just so they can complain about Apple.
Not saying that you are pointing any fingers but lets face it, the consumer is a lot smarter than you give them credit for.
Additionally, there are a lot of posters on this entire forum that may in fact have a lot of experience - in some case more than you may have. Let's keep this to the facts and not use that tactic to void the 'consumers' concerns.

How are you able to sync 2 iOS decivies on my computer through iTunes without having the same apps, music, etc. on both?

How am i able to sync my iPod 4th GEN and my iPhone 4s on my computer through iTunes without having the same apps, music, etc. on both decivies?

You will need to setup separate user account s on the computer. That is the only true way to separate all data and info. User accounts show when the computer first starts up, then you choose yours. The screen to choose a user account may not appear if you only have one user account setup on the computer. On Mac, go to System Preferences>Accounts/Users and Groups>click plus at bottom left and follow prompts. Setup as administrator. PC...
Create a New User Account for Windows XP
From the Start menu, choose Control Panel.

Select Create a new account and follow the instructions to complete the account setup process. Setup as Administrator
Once the new account is created, choose Log Off from the Start menu.
Log into the newly created user account.
Open iTunes and try syncing again.

I want to FaceTime with a friend in Japan. Can I just call her through my contacts list the same way I would call my friend who live next door to me?

I want to FaceTime with a friend in Japan. Can I just call her through my contacts list the same way I would call my friend who live next door to me?

Short Answer: Yes
When they set up facetime, they either used an apple ID, or (for iphone only) their phone number. You call using one of them. An apple id linked email address in my opinion is simpler, as you don't need to worry about country codes and the like. (I have never tried to facetime anyone out of the country, so I will admit I am not sure what you do about country codes.)
These articles are a little dated, but should help you set up your or your friends facetime if you need to.

Keynote presentations when using wireless libratone zipp speaker there is a 2sec delay before any slide containing video/audio plays - tried connection through apple TV still the same. Any ideas?

Thanks Gary, I think I should have mentioned that I have wired my other speakers and it works fine.
I just wanted to go wireless when presenting in front of class, simply to avoid trailing wires from the macbook which I position in front of me on a desk next to the projector and the speakers are behind me next to the screen.
I have struggled to find a solution, and reading through other discussions it is a problem that perhaps only Apple can solve.
I hope the new 'Yosemite' will resolve the problem.
Thank you once again for your reply.

How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone the same?

I have recently got an iPhone 5. I also use Mail on my iMac computer. How do I get my emails to download both on my iMac and iPhone, the same? (If I currently fetch my emails on the iPhone, then they don't then appear later when I want them on my iMac and I need to forward them to myself again - crazy!) And can I also receive sent emails on both too? I need identical email lists on both. Thank you, in anticipation!

If you are using POP email accounts, this is how they are designed to work. POP mail gets offloaded from the mail server onto the device used to access it, so it will not show up on another client later as it literally no longer is stored on the server. It may be possible for you to configure your POP mail account to keep messages on the server, so they will always appear every time you access your mail (from any device). The downside of this is that most POP accounts have limited online storage, and the messages will never disappear until you manually delete them, so if you are not very diligent at cleaning out read mail, you run the risk of your account filling up.
Really, for what you want, you should switch to an IMAP mail service. IMAP mail is always stored on the server, not on any one client/device, so it is always accessible from any client on any device. Given that, most IMAP accounts have much larger online storage than most POP accounts, since the mail is intended to stay on the server.
Check with your email provider and see if you can switch your account(s) over to IMAP. If not, there are a number of free IMAP providers, such as gmail from google.

I'm looking into how apps use the cloud. Would you consider any app with social media access as uploading information to the cloud? e.g. being able to tweet through an app is the same as uploading data to the cloud

Most of us in this forum are users who volunteer on technical issues, and not Adobe employees although they do drop in from time to time. As users we simply have no control over activation and that's why you are not getting responses.
If you havn't done so,you might try the Muse forums and see if you can get a staff member to look into it. Have your case numbers and phone transcripts handy.
Last option is to keep calling customer service until you get someone who will help or ask for a supervisor.
Hope this get resolved,

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

How to display or generate PDF417 barcode dynamically in PDF form? I am using Acrobat XI Professional and there is a Bar Code Field in the same through which I generated the same. But I want to generate the same dynamically.

What do you mean by dynamically? When yo set up a 2D bar code field you specify which field name/value pairs you want to include, along with other parameters. But be aware that they won't work with Reader unless you Reader-enable the document with LiveCycle Reader Extensions and include the bar code usage right. It will work with Acrobat Standard/Pro.

Is the Video player in ios 5 for the iPhone the same as the one for iPad? (No continuos play)

I can't believe Apple did this. With all the cool, well thought out software they produce I just can't understand why it takes 2 taps to get a video going, let alone play continuosly through a play list of videos (as videos, not audio only). I am assuming that it's the same as iPad 2's setup. I haven't updated my 3gs for this reason. I do a lot of intertaining where I will frequently plug my phone into the big screen and play a bunch of videos unattended. Very dissappointed that the iPad won't do this and see that IOS 5 for iPhone has a seperate app for videos now so I'm assuming its the same. Anybody know of a third party app that will play my music videos continuosly from a playlist? Developers?

So much for luck. I would have been luckier not automagically upgrading to iOS5 on my iPad2 without knowing what functionality would be lost. I can't believe video playlist organization functionality is gone with this upgrade.
I tried both of the above mentioned fixes and neither of them works as the iPod playlist does. Apple has not provided these third party rights with the ability to sync with your playlist so if your like me and have hundreds of clips, so much for organizing your videos the way you want and could before. And why should I have to spend hours manually loading files? I bought the iPad knowing it had video playlist functionality. If Apple had stated prior to upgrading from iOS4 to iOS5 that I would loose the video playlist features I would not have upgraded. I was thinking of also purchasing an iPhone but no way now that this critical function is not there. Think about it, my one inch nano screen and 2 inch iPod Classic have the video playlist ability, but the iPad which is meant one would think more for the video experience than the smaller devices has the playlist functionality removed.
I was a recent convert over to Apple, also purchased an iMac last month, but my recent erroneous upgrade to iOS5 has left a bad feeling with Apple. I mean really, you can't go back to iOS4? What is the support you pay for Apple if you can't go back to the original software. Such a large sophisticated company and they can't make there customers happy by just bringing them back to the version they purchased? There is no IT company in the world that can not go back to a previous version of software but apparently you can't with Apple?
Doesn't Apple think we should be able to test the new software prior to accepting it? isn't that only fair? The way there running this your blindly being led to something you don't really know what your getting. Atleast when you purchase the product you can go in and see it, etc.
Really, really disappointed.

Do videos load from a iphone the same as a regular photo?

do videos download the same as a regular photo?

You can install Dropbox app in iPhone and iPad. You will get 2GB storage for free and if you use it to upload photos, soon you get 3GB bonus. Dropbox app uploads photos and videos from Camera Roll to their server and sync back to other devices that use the same Dropbox account. You will have access from any computer with Internet and your photos and videos will sync automatically if you are using desktop Dropbox client.
