New User to the IPhone Family got some questions

Hey guys,
Well the IPhone4 is my first smart phone and I will have to say I love the thing. Except I'm experiencing some weird issues. First is the proximity sensor now I have done a lot of research and people are saying that there could be a fix for that when a update comes out. Is that correct to assume that?
Also, im having a weird reception issue. I heard about the death grip problems so I got a case to solve the issues. But with the case off sitting on a desk I get 5 bars when I pick it up in my hand to make a call I now will have 3 bars. When I put the case on and leave it on the desk I get 4 bars and when I pick it up in my hand to make a call now i get 2 bars. I have yet to drop a call and hold it like i normally would im not doing the death grip and trying to make it drop as much signal as possible. Should there be this much of a difference with and without a case? I also want to keep the case on since im always afraid of dropping the thing.
Also, as a side note on the reception issue is there a way to make it show the dBm instead of the bars so i can actually see how much signal im loosing?
Thanks guys,
Marc

I've had the sensor problem one time.
In looking back I realized three things, first the sensor is above the ear 'speaker'; two the sensor is slightly less sensitive than the one on my iPhone 3GS; and three I sometimes have a tendency to move the voice mic closer to my mouth--this rotates the sensor away from my head. With it's decreased sensitivity and its location being farther up the phone this action will cause the sensor to 'trip' and the phone to 'think' I've moved it away from my head and turn the display back on. As long as I keep the earpiece next to my ear I never have a problem.
I have two iPhone 4 units and they both behave this way and I can see where people who tend to move the phone around a lot while speaking could have real difficulties. The sensor 'sensitivity' really needs to be increased. Lets hope a software change can modify the sensitivity.

The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

Did you choose the wrong back up? There should be a drop box when you go to "Restore from Back up" in iTunes and your iPhone is plugged in, on the Summary page. Choose the correct back up. If you can't find one, and you still have your device, back up your iPhone 4 again and then choose that back up. Or check for an old iCloud back up if you have one.

While unlocking the iphone 4, got message in itunes "Welcome to your new iphone"

HI..
I responded to you here > https://discussions.apple.com/message/18112516#18112516

New user, on the road, stumped.

My wife and I are on vacation with our N95s and tired of repeatedly carpet-bombing friends and family with MMS pictures as our vacation progressed. I tricked my wife into installing Ovi Share and she and I notified everyone that we would no longer send MMS, but would SHARE our travels on OVI. As our trip progressed a lot of questions have come up. I am not too confident that posting here will get the answers I seek and I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask questions. We both downloaded the latest Ovi share app. 1. Is there some cool guide to ovi share? Something to answer questions such as: What exactly is ovi share, why would I use it, why do I care, what need would it meet and what solutions does it replace. I know a Nokia site offers video, but I am running on EDGE and lack the patience for a video download which may not play on my N95. 2. Is ovi share what I should be using to replace sending MMS messages throughout my trip? Is it for something else? 3. Not having 3G in the USA (which is either my fault, T-mobile's fault or Nokia's fault, depending on who I ask), I am forced to use EDGE. Many of these pictures/videos take a LONG time to upload to mymedia and it won't let me send another until the current send completes. Is there a way to allow it to stack up stuff in the outbox like every other messaging application? 4. Many of the transfers abort and it is unclear what was sent. Updating the share app often does not show the latest upload like the web page and I have sent the same files twice many times. How can I keep the mobile app in sync? How can I delete duplicates from the mobile app, or am I forced repeatedly to log in to that web site over EDGE? 5. I am not convinced that others actually can see my photos. Are they really shared? The mobile web site is unclear on this. I added a "shared" album but can't seem to get any photos into it. Why aren't they just shared? I managed to trick the contacts doohicky into making my wife a contact, but I can't see her photos on the web from my phone. I don't think she can see my photos either. 6. Reading the forums makes me think I need a Windows PC to get anything done. Is this true? I don't have one at home (we run Solaris) and I certainly didn't bring one on the trip. After all, the N95 is the "multimedia computer." Do I REALLY need a Windows box to do this stuff? . 7. The share app has an option called "My contact's media." Who is my contact and what is their media? My wife is a contact on my phone and even a contact on the ovi share site, but this is always blank. What is it? 8. The share app has a setting called "Publish all image data." The help topic says this will "automatically publish all image data." I have this enabled yet I still have several thousand images which were not automatically published. What does this do? 9. My contacts now have a field called "Share view." Is this related to Ovi Share? What does it do? How do I use it? Phew. Thanks for reading and any answers to any questions are deeply appreciated. Sincerely, Marty Posted from Opera Mini on N95 using a Stowaway keyboard in the French Quarter

In your main account, create a new folder on the desktop and move some of your account's files to it. Keep track of what you move, and move files back and forth in batches until you've isolated the file responsible for the problem.
If the problem's in the account's system-level records and not a file in its home folder, migrating everything won't transfer the problem.

As a new user of apple TV, I need some advice. When I rent a movie from Itunes for viewing later, it seems to download for a second time, with a message saying ready to view in 30 mins, it proceeds to load up all over again. What am I doing wrong

As a new user of Apple TV, I need some assistance.When I rent a movie on iTunes and download for viewing later, say a day or two later, It seems to load itself all over again with a msg saying ready to view in 25 mins ! So having waited the 25 mins movie starts and runs for maybe 1 hour and the pauses for maybe 5 mins while it seems to load again . any help appreciated

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you use the Apple TV for something else or turn it off it will erase whatever is on it's drive. If you are going to download content for later viewing you might consider doing it on the computer, downloads don't disappear until they expire and you can watch them as many times as you want.

Problem is, when I plug my iPhone 5 into my computer, the computer recognizes the iPhone, but for some reason, iTunes doesn't realize it's there

Alright, I've had this problem for a while now, and I'm at my wit's end. Hope someone can help me.
First of all, I'm running Windows 8.0 on a Lenovo, using iTunes 11.1.5, and an iPhone on iOS 7.0.6.
Problem is, when I plug my iPhone 5 into my computer, the computer recognizes the iPhone, but for some reason, iTunes doesn't realize it's there. On top of that, every time I plug in, my phone gives me the same "Trust this computer?" prompt, like it doesnt recognize the computer I told it to trust 5 seconds ago. A couple times, I got lucky and iTunes dignified me with a "An iPhone has been detected, but could not be identified properly." prompt. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mobile device driver, updating everything, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, resetting my iphone settings, but nothing works. Any ideas?

Javivi:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It is difficult to tell why your new user account is not working, but one has to start some place.
First try Starting up in Safe Mode. Log in with the original user account, the restart the computer normally and log into the original user account. Go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Launch Disk Utility. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel and First Aid in the main panel. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU.
Go to System Prefs > Accounts and recheck the new account, especially the login options. If everything seems OK quit System Preferences and restart. Try logging into the new accounts. If you have problems force shut down and Start up in Safe Mode again.
It may be easiest to just delete the new account and start over, as you do not yet have any data in it. However, if you want to continue to trouble shoot we can try it for a while.
Please post back with a report of your experience and any questions or comments you may have.
Good luck.

At the bottom of the page Settings > Messages you should have a section headed "SMS/MMS" Turn MMS messaging on then you can turn group message on.

I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously. My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes? Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of getting the IPhone 4S. My question is can we both use the functions of Icloud on the same account at Verizon or do we have to have separate accounts to be able to use all the features

My wife and I have a family account at Verizon and are thinking of both getting the IPhone 4S. My question is can we both use all of the features of Icloud with one account at Verizon or do we need to have separate accounts?

If Mail in Mavericks is the same as earlier versions you can select accounts in the sidebar, so that you can either display the inboxes for individual accounts, or the contents of all the account inboxes. (If the accounts don't show click the disclosure triangle next to 'INBOX'). The layout may have changed since the version I have - Snow Leopard - but you should be able to do the same thing.

You don't. Backup your itunes library on the old computer and move it to the new computer.
