New phone with a problem!
I just recently purchased my first Black Berry, the curve 8530. Sometimes when I'm hanging up from a call it takes a while for my screen to return to normal. There are times when I can only see the top part of my screen (sometimes this can last for about a min). Because this is a new phone and still covered under warranty, should I return it to the store and get a new one?
To prevent freezing or lagging/slow response on any BlackBerry, the most important practice you can adopt is to be sure to CLOSE applications when you are finished using them.
If you just hit the red "end call" key to go back to the home screen the application actually stays open and running in the background. If you do this repeatedly you will have lots of apps open and consequently your memory will get used up. Lack of memory is the biggest reason your BlackBerry slows to a crawl or locks up. If you get into the habit of actually using the menu key to close the applications this will at least slow down this memory-clogging process. You still may have to do a battery pull or use the "Quickpull" app once in a while when things get slow.
Likewise, check your applications running in the background. There are commonly four or five applications that will always be running (Messages, Call Logs/Phone, BlackBerry Messenger, Homescreen, and the Browser; there are other third party applications such as BeeJive, and BlackBerry Alerts which will also run in the background which you cannot close if you want them to operate). Make certain that the browser is NOT on an active webpage (open the browser and choose Menu > Close). Close any other applications that do not need to be running (the camera or a game you were playing or Google Maps).

How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4? And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer. I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting. Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc. That's not the issue. It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
Thanks.Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone). Very clear.
However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer. How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up? -

Sorry you can't. Looks like your phone restore to an older backup.
future reference import your pics to your PC, that way you can always sync it back using itunes

My lady's iphone won't sync... Every attempt ends in a mesage saying "cancelling sync." I've synced my phone with no problems.. I'm stomped as to why her phone is playing hard to get.. Please help!
Hi,
I do have iDVD, but, and I shouldn't have included the mention of eventually needing a DVD, my primary concern is to try and make an MPEG 4. I've tried using share to go to .m4v and the system tells me to shut iMovie down, and won't render it at all. That one time I did run the MPEG 4 as I said, the image looked terrible - not just mildly so, but in some parts almost unwatchable.
I'm running blind on editing at this point because of the size of the project - sound is garbled and it takes forever to do any sort of editing - all I get is the spinning wheel of death. I really just need to get an MPEG 4. -
I had a new phone and I clicked some pictures and then I restore my new phone with the old back up and I lost my new clicked photos...please help me how can I get back those photos?
You were already provided the answer. If you do not have a backup of the phone while the photos were on the phone, they are gone. When you restore your phone from an old backup, anything that has been saved to the phone since that backup is deleted. Sorry.

Why can I login to iTunes from my phone with no problem, but I can't login to iTunes from my desktop using the same login credentials. I can use a different appleID and login to itunes with no problem.
Thanks for your reply. I mean that only when all of my music in the cloud is shown on my phone can I delete the music stored on my phone. I should be able to delete music that is stored on my phone when I can view ONLY the music that is taking up the phone's memory.

How do I synch my new phone with the cloud?

Hi willardfromlos angeles,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are talking about restoring or setting up your new iPhone from an existing iCloud backup (say, of a previous device), you may find the following article helpful:
iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
If, on the other hand, you are talking about simply setting up iCloud on your new device for the first time, then these articles may be of more use:
iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
Apple - iCloud - Learn how to set up iCloud on all your devices.

How can i synch my new phone with itunes on my ipad?
how can i synch my new phone with itunes on my ipad?
Both the ipad and iphone are designed to be used with a computer. Neither is a stand alone device.
Both are intended to be synced to your computer.
You should be syncing your ipad with a computer and the iphone. -

My iPhone5 was locked at Telnor in Norway for 1 year. I send iphone to be repaired. Thei give me a new phone with other IMEI number without telling me. Ichanged to a new operator after 1 year. I asked the old operator to unlock my phone, but thei could not do that because i have a new iphone with new IMEI number. What must i do to get this fixed? Magne
Any replacement device is going to have a new IMEI. You need to contact whomever replaced your device (Apple or Authorized Apple Service Provider) and work through them and your carrier. You should have some paperwork from the replacement to show the carrier.

I have had an iphone 4g for about six months. I had purchased around 250 songs from itunes on my previous iphone. When I got the new phone and synced with my nike running, most of the songs transferred. Most of them are in my store but are listed 2-3 times. some of them are in bold print, others in light print. When i'm running, the songs skipped over and only play the ones in dark. I have no idea what to do to get all of the songs backk that I bought. Jessica14
Hi ozzie329,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I would suggest you transfer your iTunes purchases from the iPhone to the computer first.
Then in your iTunes library on the computer, find and remove the duplicates.
Then resync to your Nike.
Here are a few articles to help you do this ...
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

2 phones with same problem - Cannot email photo from photo app...
Hi. I am going crazy here. Got my first gen iphone and new 3G ipone - all running latest 2.0 firmware (the later 547 version)...
Both phones have different gmail accounts setup on them and work fine when in the mail app for both sending and receiving (both phones).
Here is the problem.. If I go into the photos app and try to email a picture (on both phones this exact same thing happens), it takes ages with the spinnning logo along the top line near the carrier info.
Eventually it comes up with the message "Photo Delivery Failed - A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."
I have tried deleting the accounts and reinstalling them - resetting network settings etc. all the same..
Why is this happening and on both phones with differnt gmail accounts..
Is this a known bug in the v2.0 software?
I am not using mobile.me by the way...
I am stumped - anyone?Hey, just saw your email after fighting the "Message could not be sent" alert which happened every time I tried to send a photo from my iPhone... I tried my gmail, MobileMe and a personal account, no luck, and the "hard restart" that other posts talked about (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8019073�) did not help me either.
Then I realized that the problem was only on my WiFi network (just like you said!); flipped it over to 3G, and the Photo was emailed with no problems.
This must be some sort of bug in the operating system... grr! But I'm glad you posted your findings, it saved me! -
