Not so sure I want to keep my DINC :(
I am so disappointed in the Droid Incredible. I did buy it knowing that there were problems with the battery, but for pete's sake I couldn't even get a days worth or a night out with it. I feel having to spend even MORE money to get a bigger battery AND another case since the battery is so much bigger is really ridiculous!!! HTC should send ME a battery for FREE!!!! I am not a heavy user - usually a few texts & checking email, once in awhile I go on to the internet & check facebook (which also sucks as an ap for android) - I have installed advanced task killer and seem to be doing that all the time. There are things that pop up on the selected aps that I haven't even used!!!! The other night I went to a concert and had hoped to use the camera for some pics since I forgot my camera and the mp are higher on my phone. I was able to get about 10 photos when my battery life went down to about a quarter, then in no time to a yellow bar, one text later red - tried to squeeze out another photo and DEAD - my brightness is turned down, but honestly this phone has a great screen it ticks me off that I can't keep it bright.
I have just had the phone for almost a week and cannot seem to get used to it. I am usually pretty saavy when it comes to new electronics but this one is making me crazy. As much as I didn't like my BB tour, it had a better calendar (especially for syncing w/ Outlook) - checking emails was easier and for the most part I was able to get pictures if they were attached (maybe there's a setting I'm overlooking?). I never really used any aps w/ BB (mostly because there weren't many like my ipod touch) and had hoped that this phone would work at least similar to the iphone regarding the aps (I know I said the bad "i" word - sorry). The contacts & syncing is not very easy and I had to link everyone one by one which took me hours!!! Is there a way to set a default phone number? I.E. I have separate ring tones for my husbands cell & home numbers but when someone calls from home it's my husbands ringtone.
I know there are more things that have upset me but I cannot think of them at this moment. What I am afraid of is that I'll settle like I did w/ my BB Tour (which I ended up not really liking so much) and/or Verizon will dump this phone, I still have 3 weeks to decide if I am going to return it or not. I am sure I don't know all of it's potential at this time and I know there is a new Froyo update coming SOMETIME (hopefully will come 2 weeks early like my phone did) so I hope that helps. As far as the battery, today my phone seemed to last a little longer and I was on it a lot today. I had read that you shouldn't let the battery drain completely anymore but I did do that 2x now (not intentionally of course) and it seems to be keeping a charge slightly longer.
Thanks for reading and letting me vent....
thank you all for your suggestions, when my battery died the other night, i left it off & charged it, got a better day the next day ~ i still think it's crazy that a phone of this capacity sucks the life out of the battery and that it is a known issue - shame on HTC
@ dabubbakin - should i call verizon or HTC???
Since I've been checking out all the forums, I am going to stick w/ the phone... there are some things I don't think I like right now (like making phone calls) but maybe it's operator error... I want to see what the froyo update will do and I'll keep looking for suggestions...
Thanks all...

Aperture did not ask if I want to keep....
If Aperture does not ask you if you want to keep or delette the files you are inporting from a card, how do you make sure the files made it into Aperture? If I check the box to not import dupes, the pictures do not show in the import window. Ok, but how do I know if it actually copied all the pictures? I imported the pictures into a folder with over 15k pictures in it already.... hard to tell without allot of scrolling/comparing...
What is your Aperture version?
You should find your most recent import in the "Recent" section of the Library as "Last Import" (Aperture 3.3). If you do not see it there, define a smart album (New > Smart Album) and add a rule "Import session is" and set it to the day you imported. This Album will show you exactly what has been added to the library just now and you will see the number of images imported during that session. To avoid long "import session" lists in the smart album settings define this album local to the folder you imported your last project to.
Last import album: One image imported
Import Session smart album:

I have an external hard drive that I have used as Time Machine backup, but not for a while. Now when I plug it in, computer says this disc is not readable.
I want to keep the backups on it and not erase and start over.
Thank you in advance.
GregorIt sounds like something went wrong with the drive. Did you drop it? How long has it been sitting around unused?

my macbook air keeps coming up with a message" are u sure u want to shut down..etc" after which it switches off by itself. now it's off and will not power on altogether. any suggestions?
Does it power on if you plug in the charger?
But to be honest I see in your description it says 'Late 2011' so there is a good chance you have warranty right, I would take it to Apple store and let them sort it out -
For the last week or so everytime I go into yahoo mail I keep getting this drop down irrating message that says: This form will be sent in a way that is not secure. Are you sure you want to send it?

From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.

how i can back up my i phone ore restore back up if it keeps to say password is wrong. i tried every possible psw ds does not work. now i want to change the password it wants old pswd and i do not know it. what can i do?
Sorry, but if you have forgotten the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
Make sure that the password you use is one that you'll remember. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to restore from backup, and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.

I got a "new" iphone from the Apple store when my dog bit the phone and cracked the front. This new phone will not play any music, ie no sound will come out. I can watch videos with sounds but no music from any of my playlists. I checked with Apple and was told to try to restore my iphone. I did all the necessary prep work like backing up and syncing and then hit the restore button on the iTunes page. A file menu icon popped up with a blank in it and I do not know what file I need to put in the window as where it needs to find a file to restore the phone. I never got a message that said are you sure you want to restore the phone. I need some help if anyone knows how to do this or should I just go back to the Apple store (which is over an hour away)? Thanks
I am syncing my iphone to my iTunes account and then I do a backup and also making sure all updates are current. Then by going to the my phone and then going to the right and selecting the restore my iphone.
Here is a picture of what I get -
My safari is blocked. When I press a window comes up sasking Are you sure you want to submit this form again? and it will not allow me to cancel or submit
These are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
Advantages: All images should be preserved.
Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost. -
I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?
The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail. -
My iPhone, iPad and iPod are all associated with the same Apple ID. How can I remove the iPod and associate it with a new Apple ID without affecting the data on the other devices (note: there is no data on the iPod I want to keep)?
Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives. Later renamed external HDs. I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive. I’m not really sure how to get those source files back and get rid of the extra long path to where the source files are now located. If I re-link files to their current catalog (many different paths to files in same catalog) can I merge (import catalogs) into one master catalog? Will the new (Master catalog) have the correct link to the source file? If not, how or can this be done?
I have tried to explain my situation as clearly as I can. Do you understand my situation?
This maybe something you don’t have time to help me with. If not can you suggest somewhere I can get an answer? I really need help. PLEEEZZZ HELP ME.

I really think 'buying' is the best solution on this one. Ideally, you would have at least five internal hard drives.

Use externals and network drive only for backup. -
I have two macs at my house, and multiple iPhones. I want to keep the same apple id as everyone else, but i want to put my own music only on my iPhone. I want to do this with my laptop which is not the family's main iTune's computer.
If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud on each device, yes. However, you can use the same Apple ID for iTunes content on each device, but different Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, etc., on each device. That way, you can have whatever iTunes content you want on each phone, but keep all of the other data separate. You can create another Apple ID here:

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

When I am trying to upgrade my iphone to IOS7.0.2 by connecting my my iphone and macbook, it shows "There are purchased items on the iPhone “asingh’s iPhone” that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPhone. Are you sure you want to continue? ". I hit the same issue and lost a lot of apps from my iphone. Can someone help on how to resolve this issue? I can automatically upgrade my software on the iphone but how shall I resolve any future updates of "Apps"?
I appreciate the answer, but what you describe is not entirely accurate. First, to even see view, you have to enable the menu by clicking on the icon in the upper left. View allows you to show the sidebar.
Second, you will NOT see your devise listed in sidebar or anywhere else. Instead, you have to click on "devise" from the sidebar menu, wait a minute, and then it will finally show up under "devise." Or maybe it just takes a minute to show up whatever you do.
Third, right clicking on your devise will take you to a menu with "transfer my files" on it, but then iTunes will refuse to make the transfer. Instead, it will tell you that <your apps> on your <devise> could not be transferred to iTunes "because you are not authorized for it on your computer." Apple unhelpfully suggests going to store> authorize this computer. There is a "store" menu item on the sidebar, but it has no "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Instead, go to the horizontal menu at the upper left, and THERE you will find "store" and the "authorize this computer" sub-menu. Now you can transfer your files, to who knows where.
My iPhone 5 is my first Apple devise. So far my experience has been, to do A, which must be done right now, you must first do B. To do B you must first do C, which is unexplained save in answers in user forums. To do C you must first do D, which, after several hours of research and puzzle solving, can eventually be done.
