Now that you have the iphone 5

1. is it that much better then the 4 or 4s?
2.  why or why not.
3. hows apple maps working for ya?

I had the 4 and to me it is much better. Definitely lighter (yeah and thinner). Apps certainly seem to open faster and apps that used processing (like iPhoto and Hipstamatic) seem to run better. I have not tried everything that I have installed yet - just wanted to make sure that all the buttons, USB and BluTooth for my car and earphone jack were working properly.
What I really like is that the front facing camera is FINALLY decent enough to actually take a non-video picture. Again I am coming from a 4 and the resolution of that camera (the front facing one) was abysmal. Did try the panorama and the camera indoors and what I have read about an improvement in low light seems true also.
As far as maps - I have been playing with it on my iPad since the other day (when iOS 6 was released) and I do see the issues that a lot of people have seen. But I live in NYC and most of the "issues" (aside from the weird looking buildings) were related to small town type areas. Agree that Google maps were better at showing traffic. Did not use Google for turn-by-turn directions (don't even know if it had that) as I use GPS Drive for that) so I have not really played with that yet. I did try out having it display directions to some places and it was fine - just like Google with the three routes and estimated times and distance. Do agree that at times it seems the map is pointed in the wrong direction - not sure if that is an iPhone or GPS issue - but I had the same issue with the iPhone 4 with both Google maps and GPS Drive.

    I have replied to you three times now without reply. I DID NOT authorise a payment of £9.99 for NowTV. What is the solution to getting my money refunded. I think you assume I will go away after being Ignored. No I will not go away. I find now that you have DISABLED MY APPLE ID. Is this a punishment you use to anyone who takes up a stand against charges being made unauthorised on their account?. Please tell me why you have disabled my account. When will my account be restored? If not when will you refund ALL my purchases made to APPLE/ITUNES? I can then move on to another brand and hopefully better customer service. After reading articles regarding APPLE ID DISABLED it appears common practice from your company to DISABLE anyone's account if they question unknown charges. Please reply with your intentions regarding  the unauthorised payment and the DISABLING of my account.

  • How do i get a engraving on my iphone4 if you have the iphone right now

    how do i get a engraving on my iphone4 if you have the iphone right now

    You find a local shop that does it, not Apple store-they don't.
    It might also void your warranty.

  • How do I get the downloads popup/tab to go back to the old place (on the left side?) Now that I have the latest update of Firefox, it moved it over to the right

    I would like to get the downloads tab to go back to the way it was, before this most recent update. Now that I have the latest update of Firefox, it moved over to the right. The little hand won't budge it. And the download interface is different, now it is under something called 'library', I liked the old way much better - any way to restore it to that?

    Can you clarify what you mean with ''downloads popup/tab''
    Is this the pop-up that you see when finishing a download or do you mean the pop-up you see if you hover a link?
    When a download is in progress then you see a download progress bar on the Navigation Toolbar instead of the Download Manager button and that button is highlighted once the download has finished to make you aware the their are new downloads.
    You can view the new Download Manager in a tab by opening the about:downloads page and consider to open this page in a separate window.

    Now that I have the Media server and 3 media client boxes, all the individual lists of schedules are gone.
    Is there any way to keep the seperate lists on the client boxes?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No because the VMS is where are all the recordings are done.
    Client boxes use the tuners of the VMS.

  • Firefox will updage. I get this message: Something is preventing firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version

    I get this error message: Something is preventing Firefox from updating securely. Please make sure that you have the latest version of Firefox. I have uninstalled and re-installed. It did not work. Support tells me to click on Firefox at the top. I have no word at the top which says Firefox. I have the Firefox icon.

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • At the moment I have a long Griffin charging cable. Unfortunately now that I have the Smart Case this won't fit through the available hole. Is there any other make that will fit that has the none  lightening fitting that I want.

    At the moment I have a long Griffin charging cable. Unfortunately now that I have the Smart Case this won't fit through the available hole. Is there any other make that will fit that has the none  lightening fitting that I want.

    I wonder if this comment on the Amazon site is the answer to my problems?
    PLEASE NOTE: In order to provide the same power output as an original 3 ft Apple USB cable, the housing of our 6.5 ft cables need to be a bit larger. Due to the larger head size, it will not be compatible with some cases that have a smaller charger opening
    If that is the case then I am stuck with the Griffin one or just use the original.
    Thanks for your observations guys

  • S4BB Audiobook won't work - this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permission​s and try again

    I bought the french audiobook J'accuse from S4BB and it simply doesn't work.  I sought help from Blackberry and got the message that BB doesn't support 3rd party apps.  I contacted S4BB, who by the way says they have a warranty on their apps, and got the email back that "for the issues and refund you would need to contact BlackBerry as the only way you can download to the playbook is through App World we do not have access to their system."
    I have deleted the app and re-installed, uninstalled and re-installed, searched permissions (not listed there), and it simply does not work.  It says "this file could not be opened check that you have the correct permissions and try again".
    I put a warning comment on blackberry app world that the app doesn't work and that support is hard to get, and Blackberry has removed both the comment and the very low rating I have this.  I found this to be the most disturbing part.
    Is there anything I can do to either get this app to work, or get a refund on this app?
    Also, why was this comment and rating deleted - this seems to be contrary to the nature of comment sections on apps and does not do a service to your customers who may download this app which doesn't work?

    Try right clicking on the installer and select run as administrator.

  • If you have the iPhone 4s and you buy the iwork...later when you change your phone to iPhone 5 with the same app name and code the iwork still free to download into your new phone???

    Yes it does not mount as a lettered drive. It is combined with the main drive in a RAID array. Look in the list of programs and find Intel Rapid Storage Technology and open it up. If you have the 24 gig cache drive it will look something like this:

  • What's the thing that you have the most of?

    Comic Books. Not sure what I am at, but according to my wife, "too many".

    Part of my weekend plan is to dive into my record collection for some serious listening / organization time. According to the Google Doc I have where I keep track of what vinyls I have... I'm up to almost 300. (And that's without cataloging for the past few months.) Somehow, over the past few years... records have become the thing that I have the most of in my life. (I'm pretty proud of it.) Here's a pic of the damage I did on Record Store Day alone this year:
    I'm curious to know though... what are some collections that SpiceHeads have? (I'm SURE there are some interesting ones...so let's hear 'em!)

  • I had a iphone 4 and upgraded to a 5s, I backed up my photos to icloud on my 4 but now do not know how to access them now that I have the 5s.  So I can't retreive my 400 pix from my old backup. Help!????

    I just upgraded from an iphone 4 to 5a s, I backed up all my photos to the cloud with the 4 but now cannot access them with my 5s.  Does anyone know how to do this?  Help?

    Did you restore the backup of your iPhone 4 to your iPhone 5?  That would restore the camera roll photos along with app data, text messages, ringtones, apps and other purchased media, etc.
