Nice updates/fixes but what about the reception issue?

Don't want to beat a proverbial dead horse, but what about making the IPhone 4 a better receiver of calls? My 3Gs was the BEST phone I ever owned. I rarely had a dropped call, I was able to make and receive calls in places where no phone I had owned previously could. When I read that this phone had the best reception of any IPhone (according to Apple) I went and made the switch. Yes, I read many posts where folks say just that, great phone. I am on IPhone 4 number three and all have been plagued with reception issues, thought the first two were worse than this one. I go to the same locations every day and the 3Gs sent and received calls remarkably better. Just sayin.....

What ps issue? I have none!! The reception issue is real and I lose signal in places where my 3GS would not.. I can hold my 3gs any way I like and still use the internet.. While using my iPhone 4 in the same place, all I get is the spinning wheel of death and it does not connect.. I've had the bumper on it since I got it and while it may help a little, it does NOT make the issue disappear..
Just because an issue doesn't effect YOUR phone, doesn't mean it's not an issue for others..
if you are not using a case then you are just ... idk... slow or something.
because apple put the antenna on the outside of the phone it is easier to attenuate the signal but it also gives much better reception. i have not dropped one call on my iphone 4... i was dropping tons of calls on my 3Gs and i am in the same area.
i have tried to attenuate the signal on my phone and cannot with the case on no matter how i hold it. if i take the case off and hold the sweet spot it drops like crazy. maybe your bumper isn't covering the antenna well enough.
i got the incipio NGP for 19 bucks at walmart. if you put that case on and still have the issue then i think you are totally full of cr@p.

I want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd?

i want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd? Can i use idvd?

The only Programms I worked with are DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. You can burn a Video-DVD with Toast but there is no real option to design your Menu. Just a few themes as far as I discovered.
Do you have a Blue Ray Device to burn* the HD-DVD? Are the Bride and Groom able to watch the Blue Ray?
* which is only possible with DVD Studio Pro and not iMovie as far as I know.
This might help
For better quality I would go the Compressor & DVD Studio Pro workflow I just learned.
Export the Movie as is from Final Cut Pro and then use Compressor to encode the File.
Consider delivering the Movie in a different way like a private video on vimeo, a Website or on an SD card which is not really romantic...

HT4946 in-app purchases are backed up but what about the apps themselves (purchased and free)?

Are the apps backed up too or do they need to be purchased, downloaded and installed again?

You can transfer your purchases to computer iTunes.
Connect and select iPhone in iTunes under DEVICES, right click and choose Transfer Purchases from ...
BTW, you can alway re-download again for free if it's still available in the app store.

Crash on saving file with fix but what was the cause?

I recently encountered a problem that cost me several hours. I'm posting my story in case someone else encounters it and also in the hope that someone might have an insight into the cause.
For no apparent reason, Frame began crashing on attempting to save a particular chapter file in a book. The file has several anchored frames (floating, anchored at top of column) and a cross reference to each. All of the anchored frames, their contents, and cross references had been in the file for many months with no problem.
Various experiments isolated the problem to one of the anchored frames. Deleting the frame stopped the crashes but wasn't much of a fix because I needed the frame. Eventually I found that moving the anchor/link for the frame to a different paragraph eliminated the crashes.
I'm using Frame 7.2p158 on Windows XP SP3. For what it's worth, exporting to MIF and back to Frame didn't help, nor did deleting and recreating the anchored frame in the same location.
Jan Axelson

Great sleuthing to narrow it down to a specific anchored frame! A few questions:
What kind of content was in the anchored frames? was it for example a graphic copied into the frame, were there OLE (linked) objects, or was it a referenced graphic file, or ?? What setting do you have for File > Preferences "Save FrameImage with Imported Graphics"?
Also, how much RAM do you have on your system? Do you often have other apps open when you work in FM, e.g. MS Office apps, or Photoshop or whatever?
Years ago I recall having a problem with anchored frames seeming to cause crashes, it was as if FM was reaching some internal limit and at some point it just went "kablooie". I'm pretty certain that getting more RAM was the definitive solution in my case.

HT1202 I get how you can transfer purchases from a device to computer but what about the hundreds of songs on my iPad that were from CDs and non purchased? How can you move them from iPAd to computer if it wants to erase and sync?

I am needing to transfer ALL content, not just purchased, to new computer and it wants to erase and sync because device is associated with another Library. Please help!

What was the source to get that content onto the iPad?
There has to be a middleman to get from CD to iPad - use
backup of that to get content to new computer.

Synced Google Calendar with Ipod Calendar, but what about the other way?

Hello everyone,
I have a ton of appointments on my Ipod Touch calendar. I decided to sync them with a brand new empty Google calendar. I followed these steps I found on the web to add the Google calendar to the Ipod Touch:
Open the Settings application on your device's home screen.
Open Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select Add Account...
Select Other.
Select Add CalDAV Account.
Enter your account information:
In the Server field, enter [ google.com ]
In the Username field, enter your full Google Account or Google Apps email address.
In the Password field, enter your Google Account or Google Apps password.
In the Description field, enter the name you'd like to appear on the account.
Select Next at the top of your screen.
After you've completed setup, open the Calendar app on your device and syncing will automatically begin.
Now since that was done, new entries I add in Google Calendar show up on the Ipod Touch, but not the other way around. Is there a setting option I missed? I need to pre-populate Google from the Ipod first I asume.Thanks.

Unfortunately, the only solutions available require Outlook in order to work... The best, and the one I've decided on using, is SyncMyCal.com. There is a free version available that requires you to sync manually, but once you sync events into Outlook, you can sync them to your iPod touch.
With the 1.1.2 update for the iPod touch, which enables you to directly add events on it... you can set SyncMyCal to also publish events back to your Google Calendar.
I really wish this functionality was built in directly.
iTunes already supports syncing with Yahoo! Address Book... Considering how close Apple has been with Google as of late, it's hard to believe some sort of syncing plugin for gApps hasn't been introduced yet.

Dates Greater Than, Less Than, but what about the dates between?

This is what my data looks like.
Employee# StartsWork EndsWork
1_________8/15______8/16
2_________8/16______8/19
3_________8/17______8/17
I need to know how many employees I have working on any given day.
The table below shows the dates across the top, and the data in the cells represents the total number of workers on any given date.
Date_____8/15_______8/16_______8/17________8/18________8/19_______8/20
Workers___1__________2__________2___________1__________1__________0
FYI: This report does not contain any prompts. It just shows me the next 6 days.
I was trying something like this but without any success: Create a column
CASE WHEN current_date > "StartWork" AND current_date < "EndsWork" THEN '1' WHEN (current_date+1) > "StartWork" AND (current_date+1) < "EndsWork" THEN '2'
and so on, then just use the column to sort the rows. I can use some count function later to finish it.

Create three date dimensions, Join first date dimension (d1) with Start Date, join second date dimension (d2) with End date, create a dummy join (1=1) with 3rd date dimension.
On the report or in PRD create a measure as follows.
CASE WHEN D3.Date <= d2.Date and D3.Date >= D1.Date then 1 ELSE 0 END

Apple TV is great but what about the content?

So I went to the Apple Store today ready with cash in hand from my tax refund to buy an Apple TV. However, I was sadly surprised by the content loaded on the Apple TV. Both the movies clips and tv shows clips were grainy and poor quality. So much so that I was really debating buying it.
When speaking with one store rep, he stated that the clips were representative of the content available on iTunes yet de didn't know how to navigate thru Apple TV's menu nor did he know what the difference between 480P and 720P were.
Anyways, after speaking with another rep, I did buy it and I think it is great. Some on my stuff in 720P looks unbelieveable as does the movie trailers available thru Apple TV. Some of the free episodes I have downloaded from iTunes look good as well.
Can somebody tell me how shows like BattleStar Galactica look when purchased from iTunes?
2 Ghz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro - 1.5 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9) Original 5GB iPod, Pepsi iTunes 6GB iPod Mini, Black 8GB iPod Nano

I agree that picture quality of iTunes content is not quite there yet imho. I have a 61" DLP, and bought an episode of remastered Start Trek as a test, and it looked pretty good. But for now, holding off on movies and HD shows until they are available in HD (I record current HD shows on an HD Tivo anyway.)
I will say that I am VERY impressed with the picture quality of the interface, photos and the album covers. The type is much cleaner/easier to read than even my Tivo Series 3 HD menu. And i love being able to control iTunes from the family room (I have an Airport Express and could stream iTunes music to my family room - but no way to see what was playing. And on my Tivo, I could stream music and see what was playing - but couldn't play content from iTunes store. So Apple TV is a great addition to my family room.)
I figure this is just the first step, and as early adapters we just have to be patient 'til all iTunes movies and tv shows are available in HD.
One feature I DO wish we had now was the ability to use album covers from streaming music (not just synced music) as a screensaver. I'm not syncing music - only video, since streaming works so nicely.

BBM Across Platform, what about the older devices?

Yes, as we all heard is that bbm is coming to android and Iphone. We all know that BB10 does not us BIS and the older devicec need BIS to operate to the full, why can blackberry not open this to all so that i can bbm without BIS on my older device? yesBIS is nice but what about the people that want to use their older phones like the BB10.
Only some features work without BIS, like the excample whatsapp, browser but all the good stuff like Blackberry world are blocked as well as Blackberry Protect, Facebook and so i can go on ....
Let the people that want BIS get it like that and the other that want it without BIS get it like that then Blackberre will be more flexible.
Cant they see they will now loose more customers to the other platforms where they can keep the people on the older native devices ....Please Blackberry UNBLOCK US ....

Yes, 1.19GB of "other" is normal. Normal is a little over 1GB.

What about the apple remote on iMac 2012?

Hi, I'll buy a new iMac 2012 but what about the apple remote? A new one will be released? Or bye bye the remote?

Yep there are some other posts already here about that and many others in the now deleted pre release board.

I can't play any purchased movies. Sounds like it is the 6.0 update. So what is the fix? Am I just stuck not being able to use my Apple TV until...?

I can't play any purchased movies. Sounds like it is the 6.0 update. So what is the fix? Am I just stuck not being able to use my Apple TV until...?

Sorry I can't help but I have potentially a similar problem.
We have an Apple TV 3 and after the most recent software update (potentially coincidental timing), our purchased movies & TV shows will no longer play for our US account. We can play previews but that's it. We also tried renting a new movie but that didn't work either. No error messsage, just select play, it thinks about it, then returns you to the same screen again.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Mifi 4510L Mifi Hotspot...is it the network? and what about the firmware update?

I have spent several months trying to seek a solution on the repeated and frequent disconnects from the Verizon wireless network using my Mifi 4510 L. No success. I have conversed with Verizon Wireless "experts" on this matter and have basically been ignored, since they do not have a solution. It has cost me a pretty penny in wireless costs due to lost connections in downloads, etc...for which I do not get any credit from Verizon on my wireless bill...go figure.
I have even been accused by Verizon that the problem is my computer and hardware, even though I have ran several hardware, software, and "real-life" connection checks on other wireless networks with no issues at all. I even have been getting better connectivity when I use my Verizon USB UML290...but I hate having to switch moving my SIM card from the USB Modem to the MIfi4510L...one of these days the SIM card will fail. Verizon has checked the signal strength at my home and work locations (which I already knew as good), but never heard back from them.
Anyway, I have verified that my wireless network adapter works just fine on other wireless networks (no dropouts, etc). I have even upgraded to another Windows Operating System - Windows 7...which is more superior than Vista in dealing with wireless communications. I have implemented quite a number of the solutions provided by other great Verizon Wireless Community members, but the connectivity problems continue to occur.
When I did a review of my wireless hardware logs, I noticed that when I was encountering problems, the dynamically assigned address given to me on the Verizon Wireless network changed quite a bit, even when I was using the same web site. When my wireless connection worked fine, the dynamically assigned address was consistent. This seemed to change when I encounter peak network load times.
I would appreciate a straight answer from Verizon Wireless on what is going on with the network. I live in a solid 3G coverage area...but just far away from 4G to benefit for the increased throughput. The closest 4G location footprint is about 40 miles away from me.
Finally, what about the Mifi 4510 L firmware update? I have yet to see any notification about this firmware update, either through normal e-mail channels or even through my Mifi configuration site
http://192.168.1.1/mifi.cgi
What gives?
I realize that I am sounding a little perturbed about this matter, but it has been almost 4 months now...and Verizon is not living up to their part of the bargain on providing good tech support on the Mifi 4510L. When they do not have an answer...they ignore the customer. Not good business!!!

The firmware update was released a few weeks ago and there were multiple threads in this forum for it:
Software Update: Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi™ 4510L
The firmware update primarily addresses a problem with the MiFi switching from 3G to 4G and back. I would not expect it to resolve a connection issue for anyone in a 3G only area. Work through the firmware update instructions included in the link above and see if it helps.
There were no email notifications but the MiFi should have been redirecting you to the MiFi homepage every time you tried to browse the internet. The firmware update is mandatory so if you have not already completed the update then there might be something wrong with your device.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

Nice updates/fixes but what about the reception issue?
