Macworld 07: ipod and cell phone scratch proof casing?

for anyone who's attended the 2007 macworld. there was a booth for ipod and cell phone casing that was said to be scratch proof it was rubbery and clear. and when you put it on it doesnt look like you have a casing on it, the casing is completely clear.
i dont remember the name of the site they sell them on. im guessing along the lines of scratch proof and i believe the logo was neon green?!
i really want to buy one because im sick of getting my ipod and cell phones scratched.
it wasnt iskin either. i dont want graphics. just a clear case.

The iPods are so beautiful, but they are so easily scratched. However, there are lots of screen protectors out there. TrendyGeek has one that clings onto the screen and to the metal back of the iPod by static (you will soon discover that the metal back of the iPod is even EASIER to scratch and get fingerprints on!). They last about a month apiece, under rigorous conditions, and would have lasted longer for me if I wasn't an idiot and could put them on right.
Another solution for the metal back of the iPod is a mod I have tried myself and it works nicely. You can give it a brushed stainless steel look by rubbing an SOS pad up and down repeatedly on the back and on the sides. This shouldn't void your warranty. It looks cool, is more consistent with Apple's brushed metal theme, and it makes fingerprints and other small scratches less obvious. And if it ever does get scratched again, simply use the SOS pad again, and it looks good as new!

My ipod got stolen and cell phone too. i don't know the serial number

My iPod and cell phone got stolen. As I am travelling I cannot get access to my serial number and have no idea how to reach Apple without a phone. How can I contact customer support online?
Thanks!

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Error message: "the software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly....

2 error messages when opening itunes: "The software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want Itunes to repair this for you?" When clicking yes another message indicates not able to remove services. Another message is: "Service (ipod service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system sources." I've uninstalled all Apple services (itunes, quicktime, apple software update, apple mobiles devices support, bonjour and apple application support and reinstalled itunes/quicktime - no change in error messages. I cannot burn CDs using Itunes. This all seemed to happen when I updated itunes to version 10. I have a Windows 7 64-bit operating system on a Dell Inspiron Zino HD; the Itunes software is also 64 bit.

What, exactly, "continues to go to gmail"? You need to provide us with very specific information as to what things you are having problems with. One at a time.

The software required for communicating with ipod and mobile phones was not installed correctly

ok i've seen this in several threads and haven't found one with an anwser. the software required for communicating with ipod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. of course when you tell it to repair it does not. this has happened several times now and only cure i have found is uninstalling itunes and reinstalling. works for maybe a few weeks then does the same thing and i start all over again with uninstall and reinstall. i tunes version 10.4.1.10 64 bit running on windows 7 64 bit and trying to sync with Iphone 3gs - so anyone have a fix for this or am i stuck reinstalling itunes every few weeks???

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes64msi"
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

IPhone vs. iPod Touch+Cell Phone

I had planned on buying an iPhone 3G but now I'm not so sure.
I don't have a land phone line, so I need a reliable cell phone. I like the idea of having 'net access wherever I go, but I work in an office and don't travel that much. As much as I like the idea of being able to look up addresses or restaurants on the fly or read the New York Times online or watch a video in an airport, I'm not sure I'd take advantage of those benefits often enough to justify the monthly price.
I just did a quick comparison of the two-year cost of owning an iPhone 3G w/ AT&T's cheapest plan vs. the two-year cost of owning a Verizon LG phone and voice plan along with a 16GB iPod Touch, and the LG + iPod Touch combo is more than $500 cheaper.
What would you do if you were me? Are there any features of the iPhone (beside the phone) that the iPod Touch can't match? Do many of the Apps require 3G/Edge or is occasional Wi-Fi good enough?

don't make what u see here stop u from getting a 3G
people here who are having problems, Apple is almost near to sell 3,000,000 iPhone 3G, and u don't see 3,000,000 people here complaining... it is known for any product that it will have some faulty ones!!
just go with the 3G
imagine u bought the iTouch and a cell phone and both were one of the faulty ones and if u bought a 3G it would be a perfect one without any deep problem!! and vice versa
just do what u think about without looking at these posts
we still don't have the iPhone 3G here in Jordan YET but i am still going to buy one no matter what i read here about lags, freezing up, wifi not working, reception and all that...

Hi guys. I want to pair my iTouch 4g to Samsung gravity Bluetooth. Both my iPod and the phone find each other but both say: unsuccessful in connecting to device. Can u please help me with that. Thanks.

Please help me. I really need help. Also, an additional question:
Can I get free wifi on my iPod touch fourth gen. ANYWHERE.
I need it to call people cuz I don't have a phone yet. Please help. Thanks.

You cannot pair your iPod to a cell phone, so forget about it.
The only way you can get free WiFi is to hang out at a Denny's, a Starbucks, or a truck stop, and I don't think your parents would approve....

Does Qik use WiFi and Cell phone service ?

At home we have WiFi in the house connected to our Router, which connects to our ISP.
Using an iPhone in our house, using Qik,...will all the vido data use our WiFi connection ?
...to send a new Qik video ?
...to receive a new Qik video ?
If we are out of the house, with no WiFi available, will Qik use our "cell phone network" ?
(Which will use "data minutes" I assume.)
I guess this is separate from "TXT messaging", and if I have a limit on TXT, that is independent from Qik ?
Sound correct ?
Just want to have a good idea of when Qik uses each network.
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
All depends on the connection type that your phone is using. If you are using WiFi connection with your iPhone at home, then Skype Qik usage - as any other internet usage on the device - will go through WiFi.
When you are out and connected through "mobile internet", then Skype Qik will use this connection for sending/receiving videos.
It does not affect your text messaging limits in any way, as it uses internet connection for sending/receiving videos.
PS. On iPhone (iOS 7 and up), you can actually go to Settings > Cellular to tell the app to use WiFi only, if needed.

Java Mcro Edition and Cell Phone Applications

Hi all, I have made a web based application and I need to add a mobile application in it.
I use a little JME and made I simple application using it.
I want to make a cell phone appl. which connects servlets and transfer data for both sided.
Is JME supprots for all cell phones? or Which of cell phones brands?
For instance;
if I make I JME application, can I use it an apple iphone or all of cell phones?
Can You give me some information and the way I need to follow?
Thanks.

It depends on how advanced the midlet will be. If standard components are used, the app should work everywhere, otherwise it need to be tested (it need to be tested always). If You need to write a midlet with Location API You first need to find a device that has this api implemented to test your application and the start writing. One importatnt thing, if a device in it's specification has written that it support Location API it doesn't have to mean that it's supported fully, some functions may not be implemented. As You can see here for instance. If You are not familiar with midlets start with a tutorial for beginners and after finishing try using more advanced APIs.

I want to ask if you buy new ideas of computer and cell phones

I have an idea for the desktop computer It will help computer to more better and I am sure that you and all people who will use It will like it .

Hi Omar,
This site is not read by Apple, though they do control it. It is a user to user help forum.
If you have a good idea but you don't develop a working example of it, simply telling someone else, such as all the people who read these pages, will quickly see your idea taken up by someone else. That may not concern you, but remember credit will not be yours.
If it is an idea for a mobile device(cell phone) app, then maybe learn how you can write it yourself and then you could submit it for sale in the app store.

Contact Center Express 8.5 and Cell Phone Agents

Is it possible to setup agents on Cell Phones. For example: We have two ATT company IPhones. We have agents that work offsite on the weekends. We would like to maintain queuing capablities as well as reporting if possible while having the agents use cell phones. They will not have access to a laptop or PC.
Thanks for your feedback guys!

Hi Joshua,
You can setup Call Forward for agent's phone to agent's cell phone but you won't be able to change status and it's not supported because can cause some issue but at the end is up to you.

Cannot make calls to landlines and cell phones.

I just bought a subscription for 1 month with skype. I have try to make several calls already and have not been able to connect. Skype starts to call and then it comes up with the message that you have to have skype credit or a subscription. What can I do?

Do you have Skype Credit, or a subscription, to cover calls to landlines or mobiles from your Skype account? If not, then you won't be able to call telephones other than possibly toll-free numbers in a few countries. Remember that a Skype Online Number only covers receiving calls. It does not give you the capability to make calls to telephones.

I don't think your browser would be the problem here. Check the Skype app on your computer, and your account (either through the app, or log into your account on the Skype web site).
