N8 email application - anyone else think it's rubb...

The email application is rubbish because:
It takes 'a hundred years' to get a connection from the mail server
It over-rides the "switch WLAN scanning off" option so it opens and keeps open the connection while it spends a hundred years polling the mail server, even if you set it to connect only every hour or so
It NEVER synchronises on demand, I just get the spinning green circle for ages
When synchronising, it usually leaves emails in that mailbox which I have deleted when using the mail app on my PC so that's incomplete. But then next time it does work; intermittent
It always has difficulty getting the rest of the message after opening and freezes the emails whenever I read them until it's got whatever it needs (i.e. I have the option set to not download images but it tries to do it anyway whenever I open an email
You cannot reply without it first connecting to the network to retrieve the message. That means you can't do offline emails
It's totally rubbish, very disappointing and I have stopped using it. I go to Opera Mobile 10.1 browser and check my mail through the internet directly.
Anyone else think this?

I second points 3 and 4 especially.
In addition, the widget stops working randomly, see /t5/Nseries-and-S60-Smartphones/N8-Mail-widget-bug/m-p/869591
The most annoying is that all this seems to appear at random, either for app or for widget.

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to sync my new iPad. Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook? I'm angry!

Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.

Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

Anyone else think it is wrong to only let you make one recovery of your computor

anyone else think it is wrong that hp only let you make one back up of your operating sys then say if it is lost or damaged you have to buy a new one, beore they used to give you a disk when you bought your compuer with no restrictions on how many copies now it comes with your comp and you can only back it up once,even though its new and people have accidents or lose thing. Compters are expencive and they should not restrict people on how many copies they make as they only work on that compuer any way??

i wasnt given recovery disc i made copy on a usb memory stick, tried to copy but wouldnt, im just trying to make copy on to disc but cant?
With Hp I could only make one from the recovery partition.
I was only able to make more after recovering with the recovery media that I purchased from Hp
I have only used the recovery media once on my PC. Mainly to see if it work rork. I have both DVD's and Flash recovery.
I always have several back up images on two different external drives. I have images with factory setting and images of current images. I use Macrium Reflect. IMHO that is the only way to go. I have never had any problems restoring my OS with Macrium Reflect. I have been doing it for years and not one failure. My recovery media would be the last offence, but it's nice to know that it's there.
Dokie!

Does anyone else think you should be able to import a DVD using itunes? Just like you would with a CD? I think itunes needs to get with the times...

If you're referrring to commercial DVDs, the problem with that is that they're copy-protected. Apple would have to build in decoding of the copy protection into iTunes and get licenses from the DVD producers to allow DVDs to be imported, something they're unlikely to grant, though we can hope that at some point the content owners will be flexible enough to allow it.

Does anyone else think the 4s battery is TERRIBLE?! It doesn't last t all!!

Anyone else having a bad battery? Mine doesn't last
More than 6 hours

This is a very interesting discussion as I am doing precisely this as well. I am taking my old home movies, pulling in the 2-hour video and then splitting it in PE7 (via control-k). I then make individual avi's from it by deleting all the segments except one, "sharing" the avi, reloading (or undoing) to get my clips back and deleting all except the next one. its a tedious business but it works.

Yahoo! contacts are not displaying on my phone though my email is - anyone else?

I've tried everything including deleting the Yahoo! account, shut the phone down, added my Yahoo! account back in and still nothing. Though oddly the email is working perfectly. The inbox and all of the folders are there and accessible. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this happening to anyone else?
Thank you in advance!

Don't know mate, i'm having the same problem! Very frustrating, hope someone has an answer for us...

Widget Launcher... anyone else think it's needed?

Is anyone else left as frustrated and lost as i am when using the dashboard "dock" that os x uses by default to launch widgets?
It seems to me that the widgets i have are never where I want them to be. If i want to launch a specific widget, it seems like im scrolling through page after page for way too long, just to find the one I am looking for.
I think there needs to be a huge improvement to the usability of the dashboard. We should at least be able to drag and drop to edit the display order of the widgets in the tray to put those we use most frequently on the first "page".
I think an iPhone-Like interface on a new widget that acts as a launcher for widgets would work great, we just need something that allows widgets to be located and launched quickly and easily.

I do think it can be messy, and poorly worded errors or even what it will do.
I still can't for some unknown reason(s).
It does work, but maybe only in a pristine lab clean room pure environment.
Likely those pre-existing conditions are still haunting your iPod. Seriously.
I made the mistake of not having my married computer and account handy and just wanted to plug into A computer. Not as safe as thought. And then had to wait for some special iPod A/C plugs so I could recharge and work / use it without being tethered to its one and one monogomous partner.
We have three computers with three accounts on each. Works fine, but not when the "WRONG" computer, or wrong account is the one open and you are absent minded tired or wish you could just "use" the device (all the computers have the same Apple ID btw).
it's never worked right for me before...
And therein lies the rub....

TS2634 I can only communicate via my ipad.....apple to apple...i.e. ipad to iphone users etc. Cannot send emails to anyone else..?

I am a new ipad user and I am able to send text or email from ipad to users of iphones but no one else. For instance, I cannot send an email to anyone who has a gmail acct etc. any suggestions??

First Messages using iMessage.
That is correct this app sends messages only to other iOS devices or macs running later versions of OSX.
Email,
You should be able to email anyone with a valid email address. Who do you have your email account with? Did you set that up on your iPad?
To set up your email account on your iPad use the Settings app.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar >Add Account
Be sure all information is entered correctly.

Verizon upgrade email fiasco, anyone else get this ?

I received an email on October 15th from the address [email protected] telling me I am eligible for a new phone. I have received email from this address before and it even had a picture of my current phone and the last 4 digits of my phone number in the email. It says in fine print in the email "Available only if customer has not upgraded in last 180 days". I last upgraded over a year ago. I then log into my Verizon and of course it says that I am not eligible for upgrade until Feb 2012. So I call customer service to ask about the email. I am told to forward the email to the representative. After being on hold for 10 minutes she comes back and says that the email is from a 3rd party. I would like to note that when I click the links in the email it takes me right to their official website. I tell her this makes no sense and that I would like to speak with a supervisor.
After another 25 minutes on hold she comes back and says she spoke with a supervisor( I never end up talking with a supervisor after asking to speak with one personally) and says that they have been having problems with this "fraudulent email" since this past Friday October 14th. I do a quick internet search to see if anyone else has gotten "fraudulent" 3rd party email from said address and find nothing. She then says they will honor the upgrade.. But there's a catch. In the upgrade email there are four pictures of phones that are "top recommendations" from Verizon. They will only honor the upgrade if I purchase one of these four phones. Oh and I also have to purchase the phone through the representative right at that moment over the phone. I laugh and say you can't be serious as I have no interest in buying one of their crappy suggested phones. What is the point of "honoring" the upgrade if I can only choose from four phones that I have no interest in? I tell her to make note of this conversation for future reference and take down her name, shift hours and tell her I will be getting back to her later in the week. I really don't know what to do at this point. I don't even care if I get the upgrade or not, I just felt like I was lied to about the whole situation.

An update. When I called they flat out wouldn't let me upgrade, claiming the email "came from a third party". I have since received an email from Verizon basically saying that the original email I recieved was in error, and that there are no updates available at this time. The thing that **bleep** me off is that the rep flat out lied to me about being from a "third party". I compared the email headers of both the original and followup emails and they came FROM THE SAME PLACE. Same originating address, using the same email processing system/server. This is why Verizon has a problem - they will just say whatever it takes to get you off the phone.. unless of course you're ready to spend big bucks on a new phone... Either that, or they will say nothing when you ask about a problem (ie. Incredible update status), or pass the buck to the manufacturer.

Does anyone else think that the new update 5.1.1 drains battery life faster than 5.1?

I charged my phone to 100% last night and unpluged it last night before going to bed. 10 hours later, when I got up, my battery had went down all the way to 68% and with no apps running in the background... All while my iPhone's currently running on IOS 5.1.1. I never had this problem with IOS 5.1, when the battery would only drop to around 97% overnight.
Anyone else having this problem?

With Phone, Messages, and Setting apps active and
Celllular data enabled, my AT&T 64 gig, 4S drops about 4-5%
overnight. Which is about what it was with 5.1.
So, I personally have seen no change in battery performance
and when using the phone I haven't seen any difference either.

Anyone else think 15minutes for checking email is too long?

Not sure why the shortest time period to check new email is every 15 minutes. Would be very helpful to have the option to check every 5minutes. This might just be a carry over from the iphone settings geared for the Edge network and ATT not wanting a lower number. But since the touch is strictly wi-fi we should be able to have it automatically check at any time interval.
And yes, i did send feedback to Apple on this
lenn

It was put at 15 minutes because iPhone users would seldom have to use the EDGE network to grab email. So if mail updated every minute, that's a lot of minutes (remember, phone charges are paid by the minute, even if you use it for only 2 seconds) getting charged.
You only think this is useful because you are constantly on Wi-Fi, in fact, you can ONLY get mail through Wi-Fi.
Manually checking ust seems more efficient in this case, that way if i get new ones when I conveniently check, it would be the same as it checking it after several checks have gone through.
If you check your mail that often, consider an iPhone?

Does anyone else think the new iPhoto is not very good? you can no longer burn photo cd's directly from it!

I do not like the new iphoto, it will not let you burn a photo cd directly from iphoto like it used to. It use to be simple, now it's not. I also think the faces feature is a waste of time and you can't disable it. Overall i am not happy with this new product i had to pay for. I had to update the iphoto i loved because they stopped letting you send your photo's to be printed from it. Apple is failing. It seems they are more after new sorces of revenue then keeping a good product.

Did you have a question?
I don't use the Faces feature, nor the Places one either, but I don't find them a waste of time. There's nothing to disable, just don't use them. Burning to optical media is going the way of the floppy disk. New computers of every brand are showing up now without optical drives. In five years you'll have trouble finding a computer with a built-in drive to buy and in 10, you'll find it hard to get a drive that will play optical media at all. iPhoto 08 was released in 2007 and that means they supported online printing services for 6 years. The installed base of iPhoto 08 is so small now that it's not worth their while. How you get from your inconvenience to "Apple is failing" is not clear to me. iPhoto 11 is a much more capable application that 08, complete with full non-destructive editing.
