New to the forums, Need a liitle HELP!

I have a IPHONE 3G S 32gig. After reading all the Battery issues. Can you tell
me if I have a problem or not. I use phone to Check mail, Play a few games,
Check weather ect... Talk on phone about an 45-60 min a day. I let my phone go
to zero percent before I charge. I get about 2 days standby and about 5 hours
usage before I need to charge at 2%. Email in manual, 3g on, Wifi and Location off. 3.1.2 loaded. Is this good or bad
Thanks

This is what annoys me about the complaints about battery life. The vast majority, myself included, have no problems with battery life. But then again, I know I can't play Madden 10 (I'm addicted, I admit) for 20 straight hours without recharging. The iPhone is a little computer, not a boring Motorola cell phone. If you do lots of things, which you can do on the iPhone, you're going to test the battery. I can fly across the country, play games, watch video, and listen to music, and arrive in the other coast with lots of battery life left (say 20-30%).
BTW, I didn't know about this issue about complete draining. I swear that I read in one of the Battery Whining threads that the recommendation is to drain the battery completely before recharging. I never do that, because that'll be the day I need my phone fully charged.

  • NEW TO THE FORUM NEED HELP INSTALLING CS2

    I just bought an older version of CS2 for Mac from the original owner and when I tried to install it the software is no longer supported by my Mac. Can I install CS2 on a new Mac? And if so how, I have all the cds and the registration number. The original owner no longer has a Mac and can not use it.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You can only run CS2 on Macs running OSX 10.6 or earlier. It won't work on newer Macs using Lion or Mountain Lion (OS 10.7 and 10.8).

    If you choose to notify you choose not to, you will receive email notification as new message being posted. In the email will have a link that link back to the newly posted message from the forum.

  • New to mac.. need a little help

    I am relatively new to macs and need a lil help understanding what's going on with my computer. I recently got a lend of a powerbook G4 from a friend and it has a tendency to freeze up completely and I have to just hold the power button until it turns off then it when I turn it back on it will work ok again sometimes for several hours without a hitch.
    Also, sometimes instead of freezing up I'm just not able to type. I can do everything else with the mouse or open programs and such but when I try to type it just doesn't work (and again, restarting fixes the prob).
    Looking for help .. if anyone knows why it may be doing this and/or how to fix it your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    First, check your hard drive free space. Click on the apple on the menu bar, about this mac, ata, and click on the hard drive under ata bus (DVD drive is listed there too). That will tell you the drive capacity and how much is available. You want 10% to 15% of the total capacity to be available for systems usage. If less than that, performance can slow to a crawl, and some of the issues you identified could be due to low free disk space.
    Next, you should have a backup of the hard drive, if there's anything you want to keep.
    Download the program OnyX from http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html . Run the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. A number of people have found this helps clean up the hard drive and contributes to improved performance.
    This FAQ has some good advice for performance tuning: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/performance.html
    If, after cleaning your system and tuning it up, you're still having problems, please post back with specifics.

  • New To The Forum And Looking For Speed Help!

    Hello, After trying to find information about my problem on the Internet and then speaking to the BT Indian Call Centre, I stumbled upon this forum. I am hoping, having looked at so many helpful comments and contributions, that I might be able to shed some light upon my connection speed issue. I have had a very pleasing and stable Internect connection speed of nearly 8Mb. However, I recently moved my router to the Master socket in the house which was better positioned to give a good WiFi signal throughout my house. However, when I have plugged in the router and booted it up, I can only connect at just over 4Mb regardless of what I try. I know I am at risk of sounding a touch ungrateful here because there are many more people with bigger problems than I but I would be very grateful for some advice / assisitance as to why my problem might have occurred and how I might regain my previous speed. Thank you in advance for any help! Cheers.

    welcome to the forum
    in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/935​4/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
    are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • The Forums need the MAA!

    As I am a frequent user of the forums, I have noticed that over the last few days the OTN Forums have been up and down quite frequently. So much so that when I enter questions I must make sure to copy the text that I've added just in case the forums go down upon submitting my question/reply. What is going here? Is Jive not cutting it?

    Several times a day we get error 404, it goes up and down like you say.
    Mail to "webmaster" get no replies :(
    Jive, or is it the underlying app platform that is very unstable? Wonder what Oracle forums run on... :)

  • New to the forums, not new to Mac. Need help on failing hard drive.

    Hello, glad to have found this forum...I need all the help I can get. Let me explain what I have, what it's doing, what I want it to do, what I "think" I need to do.
    *What I have:*
    733 G4 with superdrive, 512 MB SDRAM, 40 & 60 gig internal original hard drives
    *What it is doing:*
    For about a year one of the drives (seems to be my 60g start-up drive) has made clicking/popping noises not unlike when you click/cluck your tongue. I've ignored it, foolishly, and gone about my business. Then I began having to click the mouse and punch keys when I start-up in order to get the drive to begin spinning, otherwise it would never kick in and I'd get the "?" face. Anyway, I have been living like that for many months until recently when my start-up drive only had about 500MB left of space, I burned some DVD's and freed up about 6 gig on the drive for some cushion the other day. Well, since doing that, when I start up now I get a spinning globe. I have to hold the option key down at boot and then select the drive manually and I'm back to being fine again.
    *What I want it to do:*
    I'm freaked out about losing data because I am a photographer and graphic designer, so I would die if I lost any files. I have been using one of my old iPods as a back up drive to dump data on and burning some DVD's too...but still, I have most of my life still on the drive. Here is what I am considering. I would like to get an external drive to move and continue to grow my massive files for my work and creativity. I'm thinking the G-Tech 320 Quad external would be a good fit. Now, moving back inside, my 60g start-up is telling me it's failing and to back up and replace before...well, you know. My 2nd internal drive is 40g and is strictly my iTunes library of MP3s.
    How do I save myself and replace my start-up drive?
    Do I buy the G-Tech first, move all my files over, then replace the internal, failing 60g? Can I start-up from the G-Tech? Should I/Can I make my 40g the temporary start-up, replace the failing 60g, and go from there? How should I do this and must I get the G-Tech now?
    While on this same question, I am getting conflicting information regarding how much my 733 G4 will recognize as far as each drive size. What is the max size each drive can be? What is the max combined?
    *What I think I should do:*
    I think I should buy the G-Tech, move my life over there, then use the working 40g as my start-up, replace the failing 60g with the largest possible when possible, make the replacement internal the start-up again, use or replace the working/existing 40g as storage/back-up, live happily ever after.
    *And on a side note:*
    I plan to drop two sticks of 512MB memory, this filling it up to it's max 1.5 gig of memory. Will this have a noticeable affect on my computer? If so, how?
    Oh, and the reason I was opting for the Quad G-Tech is because can't I upgrade and add FW800 ports to my G4 rather easily?
    Thank you for any time or effort you give me in helping me through this urgent matter. I had run out of places to go and people to ask before running across this forum.

    First of all I cannot believe you have no backup strategy and only start to worry about it after problems arise. You're an accident waiting to happen. Before you consider anything make backups.
    Basic Backup
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
    6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
    7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
    2. Toast
    3. Impression
    4. arRSync
    Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
    Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    You can begin addressing the problems with your hard drive(s) after you get your stuff properly backed up. Once that's done get two larger drives for the computer and replace the small ones you now have. Your model should support hard drives up to 128 GBs in size. There is not specific limit on external drives so your external backup drive can be large enough to be partitioned into multiple volumes large enough to backup at least one of the internal drives (using the second internal drive as a backup for the first internal drive. This provides redundancy - an internal and an external backup.) You can then use the additional space on the external drive for your data files.
    BTW, you risk catastrophic data loss by allowing the free space on your startup volume to drop below 3 GBs.

  • A quick question from someone new to the forum, PLEASE help.

    Hey Guys/Girls I have had my iphone 3g for over 2 years now I am not under any warranty or anything like that and recently my Iphone 3g power/hold button stopped working. I was wondering if there is anyway to fix it that you guys know about and also how much it would cost me to get it fixed?
    Thanks alot in advance for you help.

    I understand that without the contract that i would of had to pay that much, and yes now this much time later with so many newer versions of the phone released it does sound insane that i would have to pay 200$ to replace this one, seeing as i would have to hand this one in for it and they can turn around and fix it for next to nothing and sell it refurbished.
    I dont understand how you think 200$ for a 3 year old phone sounds like a reasonable price, unless your loaded or something. I'm not trying to be rude but in my opinion that is way to much money.
    I thought that maybe I could get it fixed from apple for around 25-75$

    Needed help

    See these troubleshooting articles.
    My iPod is sad.
    iPod displays a "sad iPod" icon.
    What does this picture on my iPod mean?
    Also, there is a pretty comprehensive post written by another forum member which is about the sad iPod icon or the folder and ! icon. Be aware that it's quite involved and contains some info that will almost certainly void the warranty. If your iPod is still within the warranty period, you should use that option first.

  • New to the E90 - grateful for some help ...

    Greetings All,
    Just got my E90 a few days ago. Just a few questions to start off with:
    1. Can anybody recommend a decent free file manager application, i.e. one which actually allows me to browse the entire filesystem? The built-in Nokia file manager only lets you see the \data\ folder in the phone, so for example you cannot see anything you've downloaded from the web!!
    (1b. Or is there a way to change the destination of downloaded files in the web browser?)
    2. Why is the GPS so poor? I live in London, UK, and there must be plenty of satellites available (everybody around me uses GPS with no problem), yet my E90 frequently finds only one satellite, or none at all, and can't triangulate my position.
    3. (This is tricky.) Does anybody else use s2putty? (s2putty.sourceforge.net) It works fine for password access, but it won't accept my private key (says "Cannot use - not a private key"). I've tried creating a brand new key pair in puttygen and still it doesn't work. I think the file format is somehow munged when it's copied over to the E90. Does anyone have any idea about this?
    4. Is it just me or it the user manual really totally rubbish? Is there a good user guide somewhere which tells you how to switch between apps easily, sort out your own menus, get rid of lots of the pre-installed gubbins etc. etc.?
    5. That'll do for a start, unless anyone knows of a good hex editor, DOS emulator or Master Of Magic port ...
    Thanks in advance for any help,
