New user, phone acting wierd

I'm brand new to the Iphone experience and so far, I am impressed. But today, I've noticed that when I hit the home button to wake up the phone, on a couple of occasions the phone's display lit up, but noticeably dim. Is this a problem brewing, or did I do something to cause it?

if you have auto brightness turned on the phone will adjust its brightness depending on what light is hitting its light sensor...
you can check that setting in :
Settings -> Brightness

New P6N Platinum acting wierd...

What's up guys. My dad's computer at his office has been giving him problems like locking up, sluggish performance even after a reformat, etc so he gave me $1200 to build him a new machine that will last him "a long time". hahah
So I've put together a pretty decent Core2Duo machine. Here are the specs
E6400
P6N Platinum
1 gig of Gskill DDR2 800
This stick
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231085
A corsair 520 watt PSU
Generic PCIE video card
75 gig Raptor HDD (I'm going to use his existing HDD as supplimental storage)
Samsung DVD writer
I put it together, the system loaded windows XP fine, I installed the motherboard's monitoring software that Dual Core center thing, video drivers, Ntune software (which I now know is useless) and then proceeded to install office, some anti spyware apps, antivirus software, etc...
That's all well and good but here's where trouble started up.
During the software install, the Dual core center that was monitoring the fan speeds and cpu temp flashed at me saying one of the case fans wasn't spinning. I opened the side panel and both case fans were spinning fine. (X_<)
I disabled that montior and continue installing stuff. A minute or two later, the other one goes red saying the 2nd case fan wasn't spinning. I still had the side off and could clearly see all connected fans still spinning. I disabled that one thinking it was the last I'd hear.
I have an E6600 and another P6N platinum and 2 gigs of patriot DDR2 1066 ram coming today for my own system upgrade and I had already bought an EVGA 7600GT video card to use temporarily until the DX10 cards start dropping in price.
Anyways, I wanted to see what sort of benchmarks the unclocked system could spit out so I shutdown, popped the 7600 in, rebooted, re-installed the latest Nvidia drivers and installed FEAR.
I ran fear and it froze up during one of the pregame splash screens. I held down the power button to reboot it and when I turned it back on, the system physically came on but there was no post and the monitor stayed in standby mode. No beeps or anything. All 4 little LED's on the Dbracket thing were lit up green.
Thinking mabey something was up with the video card I shutdown and put the old card back in. Same thing with this one now. No power to the monitor, no beep, no post, nothing.
So at this point, I start going through the usual suspects. I tried booting with the ram in a different slot each time and still nothing, I unplugged the floppy and cdrom ide cables, nothing. I unplugged the hard drive, pulled the Cmos battery, pressed the little clear CMOS button, etc... nothing. I even went so far as to pull the video card itself and still no warning beeps or anything.
At this point, I was thinking it could be the ram stick was bad or the CPU was bad or even the motherboard itself. I was thinking mabey the mobo due to the previous warnings about the fan speed.
In one last desparate attempt, I put the generic video card back in, hooked up everything but the floppy and put the memory back in the original green slot 1 and took it into the kitchen to my work space and plugged it in and turned it on and lo and behold, it beeped at me and the Dbracket LED's indicated that the floppy wasn't attached. I hooked up a monitor using the VGA (rather than the DVI which was in my computer room) and the windows loading screen was up.
I shutdown, hooked the floppy back up and watched the led's on the Dbracket as it started up and they appeared to go through a sequence of checking everything as they all were flashing green to red and then all green and windows was up and running as normal. At this point, I'm still holding my breath just waiting for it to lock back up and give me grief again but it never does.
right now, I'm at work and it's sitting next to me and has been running stress tests for the last hour and a half without a hitch. CPU temp is peaking at around 53*C.
When I get back from lunch, I'm going to run memtest and spinrite 6 to make sure the HDD is good to go and after that image the hdd for backup purposes.
I'm hesitant whether or not I should tell my dad that his machine is finished becuase I don't know what in the world went wrong last night. In my experience, when something fails, it's not going to work again. I haven't tried running fear again. I actually uninstalled it as he'll never use that but I was wondering if you guys could offer any ideas on what went wrong?
I'm going to image both this machine and his old machine before I wipe his old HDD and put it in this new one just in case something does go wrong again, I can just pop the old HDD in his old machine, load the image and minimize down time while whatever parts need to be replaced are out.
Thanks for any suggestions or ideas!

I had already planned on that. I don't know if it was one of those that caused the problem or what but I'd rather it not be there at all than lurking in the background.
Memtest came up with no errors, stress tests passed fine (for now) and spinrite is about finished with zero hdd errors.

Hi it's me rabia and i'm apple user

So i want to know that can i have a new cell phone on replace of this one at any nearby of my house App store without any cost ?
But i'm not having any line yet on my phone i use it on net mostly so what is the scene can i have or can't ??
please inform me soon !

Is your phone still covered by warranty? If so, go to your nearest Apple store and depending on what happened, this may or may not be covered by warranty. If it is, then you can get a replacement exactly as the phone you already have.
If out of warranty, then there is nothing you can do and you'll have to pay.

Iam a new user of iphone..When the screen is on lock, you cant hear incoming calls or messages..Is there away when locked you can still hear your phone when a call or message comes in?

Iam a new user of the iphone 4s. When the screen is locked, its on silence.How can you change that so when it's on lock, you still can hear if a call or message
is coming in? I cant always be looking at my screen, so it would be nice if I can hear it

What do you mean "out of warranty"? Warranty is for a year right? Or am I out of warranty because the phone cracked? I'm a noob...
I'm still covered I think. I got the phone in December.

i m a new user plz give me icloud account bt previous owner she dead and i dont know about this information this phone. plz Help me icloud account as early as possible

Apple is not here and will NOT give you the information. Contact the relatives of the "dead" owner.

Merging Phone numbers and email addresses in a new user account

OK... here goes....
For the last 10 years my wife and I have shared one user account on our desktop computer, a G5 tower.
We have been able to successfully keep our 'digital lives' separate because I used Apple Mail and Address Book with my iPhone, syncing with mobile me. She used Microsoft Entourage and a flip phone.
She has just gotten an iPhone 4S and I want her to be able to sync contacts with Address Book. So... I am FINALLY setting her up with her own user account and getting her to use Apple Mail and Address Book. We do NOT want my Address Book to sync with her new iPhone.
I think I can import her messages and mailboxes into Mail in the new user account easy enough. And I am pretty sure I can get her Entourage email addresses into Address Book also. I have seen some articles online and I think I got it straight.
Here is the part I am not sure about. When she got her iPhone last week the Verizon store transfered her PHONE NUMBERS into the iPhone form her old flip phone. How do we merge the email addresses (from Entourage) and phone numbers (currently on the new iPhone) into Address Book?
I am asuming there are gong to be many double entries and such as the names will not match.... but i do not want to overwrite anything and lose data. Will we just have to suck it up and manually merge the data?
We can not use iCloud yet, as the machine is not Intel and is only running Leopard. There is a new Mac Mini in our near future and I will get the iCloud running for her soon enough. And I anticipate no issues moving over her new user account, from the G5 over to the new Mini.
I ONLY use my white Intel MacBook running Lion and the iCloud to keep MY life in sync these days and doubt I will put my MacBook user account on the new desktop... but I might at some point.
Thanks

Good luck and let us know!

Firstly make sure you have enabled Siri. Go to settings>general>Siri and turn on, may sure you complete the My Info etc. Also go to settings>general>restrictions and turn Siri on there.
To use Siri press the home button to speak, you can also 'raise to speak' but be sure you enable that in settings>general>Siri>Raise to Speak and turn on.
Finally, have a look here for more help http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4992

I recently upgraded to a new iPhone. Everything transferred except my photos. Can I retrieve my photos from iCloud and transfer them to my new phone? My old phone has already been transferred to a new user.

Did you restore your iCloud backup? That should recover camera roll photos.

Disable iMessage as can't receive texts from iPhone users on new Android phone

I have done everything I can find online about this:
Deleted/unregistered the device from my profile
Changed my password
Changed the number to 000000000 on my iPhone
Switched iMessage off on my iPhone
Deleted the device from my iCloud account.... HELP.
When I call apple I can't speak to someone it says I need to pay £25 as I do not have cover. Really?! Is there another number I can call? Any help appreciated. Will it work eventually? I have waited a week and still can't receive text messages from my husband on his iPhone. It's driving me mad! I love my new Android phone (LG G2) but this is so frustrating.

Hi zara343, I had a similar problem. I have a iphone and my daughter changed from iphone to android. We couldn't receive text messages to each other, she had no other problems with her other contacts, just mine. It was driving me crazy. My phone kept recognizing her android as an iphone. Yes I turned iMessage off and yes I could receive my daughters messages, but my two other daughters and a few friends had iPhones, so I didn't get their messages. My problem is now fixed, I tried to send a message to my daughter and it came up undelivered, so I pressed the red exclamation mark to the right of the undelivered message and it gave me the option to try again, send as a text message or cancel. So I pressed send as a text message and my daughter received it, I tried again and message undelivered, so again I pressed the exclamation mark and went through the same process as before. I thought what a pain but did a third and now my iphone does not recognise her phone number as an iphone. So your husband would have to do this with his iphone and I am confident it will work, and me as an iphone user can keep iMessage switched on. Hope this helps.

iPhone User Guide (For iOS 5.1 Software)

My computer is acting wierd and i want to transfer all my itunes to anther comp. how can i do this i dont want to lose two ipods and my iphone!! help!!

my computer is acting wierd saying it cannot start up properly, I am getting wrried that it may crash, how do I get all my itunes,..music..movies..pictures etc for all of my devices on to another computer? is Icloud only for music? what about phone contacts

There are a few methods described on this page for how to copy your iTunes content between computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
For syncing your devices to that new computer, these two articles might be of use
syncing with a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
recovering content from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
If the photos are those that you've synced to the device from your computer then you will need to copy the directory that they are in on your computer. If they are photos that you've copied from your device to your computer theg you can also either copy their directory, or (if they are still on it) re-copy them from the device onto the new computer (photos to computer).

Setting Up a New User Account - iTunes issue

My wife and I were both using our Mac as a single user, but logging into iTunes under separate iTunes accounts to download our own music and apps.
This week I set up a new User Account in her name, and transferred all music and apps to her User Account so she would be able to access and sync on her own account, just by fast switching, rather than logging into iTunes each visit.
When she plugs her phone into the iMac to sync via iTunes, she gets the following message:
*iTunes could not sync information to the iPhone " " because another sync client is already running*.
Anyone had this problem and found a solution ?

I recently had this same error message problem with my 3GS. Here's everything I did, one of the steps solved the problem...
1. Restarted with the phone unattached.
2. Repaired permissions using Disk Utility.
3. Restarted the phone. Here's where I had some difficulty: After swiping to confirm the shutdown, the screen went black, and I had the spinning icon that wouldn't go away. I ended up having to hold the lock and home buttons down to force shutdown the phone. I powered it back up, and it took forever to start, but it eventually did. I then power-cycled it one more time, and everything was back to normal.
4. Started up iTunes. Go into the preferences, and under the "Devices" tab, I found my previous backup. I deleted it.
5. Plugged in the phone, and everything was normal. iTunes made a new backup, so the sync took awhile, but it was successful.
Good luck!

How do I create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user

This is why I think I need to.
My computer got hit by lightening, and I may have created a new user account through netinfo rather than system preferences /accounts/+user. Mail used to open twice, but no longer. Now, Safari askes me for my keychain password twice, Spotlight can't find a folder on the computer when the search is restricted to folder and computer, though the folder is there and easyfind finds it, and when System Preferences/Spotlight/Privacy has the hard drive icon added, then deleted, Spotlight still does not find anything. (Yes, everything is backed up, on CD, DVD, and online.) Microsoft Tec Support says
"Here is a summary of the key points of the case for your records.
When you contacted us on August 8, you had requested assistance with Microsoft Office 2004, as your installation of the updates was unable to find the correct version of the software to update. After creating a New MAC User, we identified the issue to be with a corrupt MAC User account, and not a Microsoft issue. "
I believe Microsoft. So, creating a new user was easy.
But copying files uses up too much hard drive (movies, music), and may miss keychains, preferences, mail, address book, and documents. Since Spotlight no longer works, who knows what is happening. (Yes, I've repaired persmissions, and disk repair. No change). I'm using up my hard drive trying to move files to the new user. If I share files, or put them into a public folder, then delete the old user, will I still have the old user's files in the new user's account? It is not clear to me what I should be trying to do in order to create a new user, move my old files etc over, and delete old user. Thanks.
My responses will be slow, because I have to drive to town to use the internet. I've ordered a new airport which may take care of that problem. SO be patient.

Hey -
I need to do the EXACT same thing, but have no idea how. Has anyone out there done this?
My situation is a tad different..this is a new Mac (and I'm a brand new Mac user). Tons of querks occur under my original account (videos won't run, Safari won't support certain plug-ins). I spent 6 hours on the phone w/ 4 different Apple Reps and nobody could fix it. A rep finally looked at my MacBook Pro in person today. He created a new account just to see if that would work and under that new account, everything works perfectly fine (no querks, can view video). He tried switching a million settings in my original account to no avail.
He said to create a new account (as he did) and move my files over to the new account and then go back to the original and delete it. How do you do this?! I can't figure it out! I've got a new account created, but of course it just has the default folders in it w/ the little red icons next to them! Thanks in advance!
