No iPhone available anywhere, within 100 miles...

Very unhappy, long time Apple customer for over 10 years now... and I cannot purchase an iPhone 3G...
I can't purchase one online anywhere, unless I find something on eBay...
There is NO Apple Retail Store or AT&T store nearby that carries the iPhone.. There IS an AT&T store, but they don't carry it!!???????
WalMart doesn't even carry it...
What is the problem with getting this phone???
Very unhappy that Apple makes it so impossible to purchase their products. I'll be searching elsewhere this time, and I'm NOT happy about it!!!
Shame on Apple... Find a better solution to getting your products online!!!

I don't know why I can't purchase online though. I purchased the first gen. phone from an AT&T store where I used to live, and activated it at home using iTunes...
This was changed with the iPhone 3G due to all the bozos who purchased a first generation iPhone and as many as they could for one reason and one reason only - to sell the iPhone on the "brown" market to make a few bucks. Activation with AT&T is required at the store with the iPhone 3G is purchased - at an Apple store, Best Buy, Walmart and AT&T corporate store. The iPhone 3G is sold at AT&T corporate stores only and maybe with some large AT&T distributors, so if the AT&T store near you does not sell the iPhone, this AT&T store must not be a corporate store. And if you live in an area where AT&T has company owned towers, strange that a Walmart or Best Buy store isn't selling the iPhone either.
AT&T does not have coverage everywhere, and where AT&T does have coverage is not with AT&T company owned towers exclusively. If you read the fine print with AT&T's contract or service agreement, there is no charge for off-network roaming, or when roaming on AT&T partner networks - with towers not owned by AT&T. But if you off-network roam more than 60% of the time on a regular basis - say continuously over a 3 month period or so, AT&T will likely contact you. AT&T will either start charging you an additional fee for your off-network roaming, or they can cancel your service. It is an additional cost to AT&T when off-networking roaming. AT&T does not give service to people who live in an area where AT&T does not own the towers - AT&T's coverage is with a partner network only or primarily.

TS3376 The find my iPhone app shows my iPad and iPhone in a totally different location about 100 miles away and my devices are in my lap? I'm confused ...

The find my iPhone app shows my iPad and iPhone in a totally different location about 100 miles away and my devices are in my lap.... I'm confused ...

Any thoughts on this , I'm worried that someone has cloned my device Id and is phishing , or would there be just a major glitch in the GPS ? I have turned off the location app and turned it back on to see if it was a glitch still comes up to the same location about 100 miles way to a place I have never been. Help !

I have a PowerBook G4 17" and need Apple discs to set it up again. Mine lost during move. Screen seems damaged, has vertical lines. Can anyone help. I can call as I have unlimited calling on my iPhone 6 anywhere in North America.

king,
If your Powerbook's serial number (do not post it here) starts with "W8" then the vertical lines are mostly likely due to a defect in the display itself. W8 is a factory code and, during the iMac G5 and PowerBook G4 timespan, that factory shipped thousands of units with the same defect. It cannot be fixed via software.
As all PowerBooks are now classed as "obsolete," an Apple Store will not work on it. They will look at it ands tell you it has vertical lines and that they cannot fix it. This Apple article shows Apple devices they curently considered obsolete:
Vintage and obsolete products - Apple Support
It is possible that some Apple Authorized Service Providers (AASP) will still work on older computes but they cannot get neededparts from Apple. As this issue was so pervassive, it wil be hard for you or an AASP to find a used/pulled display that is not effected with the "W8 Curse."
Although I love the old PowerBooks, I would not even spent the money for disks, much less the US$150-400 it would cost to replace the display, even should one be available.
If you give us a rough idea of where you are in the world, we can suggest repair shops specializing in fixing older Mac notebooks, but be aware those resources may be rather scare outside North America.

My GPS shows me in a position 100 miles away, how do I sort it?

According to the maps on my phone, I'm apparently over a 100 miles away from my current position. I've resynced it a couple of times, switch airplane mode off and on and now at a dead end. Has anyone got an idea of how to fix it?

This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your father's contacts from your account, and vice versa).

My britness on my iphone 5 was on 100 % and I turn my screen off and after ten min I turn it back on and the screen was on 0% while the britness line on settings was on 100% is it an IOS 6 bug or is my iphone borking???

I've seen that happen sometimes. For me, pressing the lock button to lock it, and then pressing the home button to get to the lock screen reverts it back. If that doesn't work, just move your brightness slider lower and then higher again.

Will Apple cover my factory unlocked iphone 3GS anywhere in the world?

Hello,
I'm planning on buying a factory unlocked iphone 3GS directly from the Apple Store in Hong Kong.
Will Apple cover my iphone with the warranty worldwide or only in Hong Kong?
Thank you.

What I meant to say is that technically, hardware-wise, almost all iphones 3GS are the same (I believe the models in mainland China don't have GPS?).
It's no WiFi in China. GPS used to be illegal in Egypt, but they changed the law recently.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I suppose that the carrier lock is a software lock, which can be removed (we've all heard about it), but gets reversed once you update to a new OS version.
Carriers can ask Apple to unlock particular phones. The next time the iPhone is restored via iTunes, new firmware will be downloaded from Apple and will display a message saying it has been unlocked. It will stay unlocked if updated. Unofficial unlocks (which can not be done on current iPhones) will re-lock if the iPhone is updated.
I know it is the way it is, but I believe most of you would agree that if you buy a telephone, you shouldn't be forced to go with one carrier or another. That is why when I pay for an unlocked phone, I pay much more, go get the freedom (without hacks) to choose the carrier I want (where in contrast I pay much less for calls and internet than with the exclusive iphone carrier).
It would be much easier for Apple if all iPhones were unlocked, and the same in all countries, but the carriers make a fortune from their exorbitant roaming charges, so where the country's laws allow, insist that Apple not make any unlocked iPhones available in their countries.
By the way, MMS is not something most people use. There are some statistics on the internet about the ratio of SMS to MMS and it was something like 10 to 1.
All the 3G and 3GS iPhones are capable of MMS, but the carriers have to support it.

Java:comp/env namespace is only available from within a J2EE component

Can someone help me to explain and resolve the Exception?
The Exception is like below:
javax.naming.NamingException: java:comp/env namespace is only available from within a J2EE component

Hi temp,
I can only guess here -- since you haven't provided much information,
but if you are trying to lookup an EJB from some client class, then
the client class must also be deployed to OC4J in order to use the
"java:comp/env" namespace.
I think if you did a search of this forum's archives for the text
"java:comp/env", it would probably explain lots of things to you.
Good Luck,
Avi.

Bex apps for Iphone available?

Hi experts,
I wonder if anyone knows if there are any apps for Iphone available, that can be used för executing BEX queries or web templates. Please note that I am NOT interested in apps for SAP Business Objects, as we do not have this application.
BR,
Niclas

It works, but there's limitations from what I've seen. Certain portal functions don't work well in general outside of internet explorer, and same goes for WAD objects. I haven't seen any acknowledgement of what does and doesn't work, but it's worth playing around with.
In our scenario, I can tell you that we can launch reports via an internal Google Site, pass credentials via single sign-on, and render web reports on the iphone. Drop down menus don't work properly, color condisitons don't show up (same in Firefox), but lots of things do function properly.

FrameMaker 8 demo available anywhere?

I searched the site and it seems that only FrameMaker 9 is available as a demo download. Is the last version available anywhere else? I emailed the webmasters but they haven't gotten back to me.

I was quite surprised to find a version of 8 available on the Adobe download web page yesterday (08/03/09) -- there's a notice saying that it's there for existing customers who had trouble upgrading to SP3. I have no idea what that means, or what is actually in the download (rolled up patches, some kind of SP3 fix, working OLE.... who knows?), but it is online and available for download.

IPhone 5 only shows 100 photos in Photo Stream...

iPhone 5, iPad mini, MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion.
I just got my iPhone 5 upgrading from iPhone 4, which didn't have Photo Stream activated. My iPad mini is showing 684 photos in my Photo Stream, but my iPhone 5 only shows 100. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device, it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

When i share a contact from my iphone and sent it to any other iphone the information within the notes tab displays in correctly

When i share a contact from my iphone and sent it to any other iphone the information within the notes tab displays incorrectly,
.I usually use this tab for doctors and allergies

I just attempted the share myself with a contact and found it did not transmit the notes field either. I've only used this method for sharing maybe twice since I've had my iPhones. I don't remember if it ever worked before, and then I wouldn't know why it wouldn't. Sorry I couldn't help any more than that.

Is developer 6i Available anywhere to download?

Is developer 6i for windows Available anywhere to download?

From the OTN Developer License terms
You may not:
- make the programs available in any manner to any third party;
[...]In my book even sending a link via email to just one person is a violation of above license agreement. So unfortunately if you can't find it on OTN there is no way around oracle support.
cheers

Need to Install Java SE 6 Runtime in order to launch Illustrator from Mac OS Yosemite? But it's not available anywhere?

Hello,
Can anyone help me with this? I upgraded to Yosemite, and now I can't launch Illustrator because it says I need Java SE 6 runtime in order to open it. But that version is not available anywhere, not on Apple's website and not on Oracle's. I did install the latest version of Java, but that didn't solve the problem. Apparently Illustrator (and I assume all of the creative cloud apps) require version 6? Any input is appreciated, this is SO frustrating ...

yes. but if you follow that link and click on "download" you get an Apple message that says "We're sorry. We can't find the page you're looking for." That was the first thing I tried. Any other ideas?
