Phone settings not retained once they are set

Hi everyone,
Has anyone had the unfortunate experience of your settings such as sound, weather, mail, etc. not being retained after making changes to them? My wife just bought this iPhone for me a few days ago and it is updated with the latest version 1.1.4. Also iTunes version is 7.6.2.9.
How does iPhone retain it's settings? Is it a built in battery like an old CMOS battery?
I have performed all of the resets that Apple recommends. It's really going to be uncool to have to replace it after 2 days of use.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Does all of the resets that Apple recommends includes a Reset and a Restore which are different?
The settings are not built in the battery. They are stored in the "Other" designation along with the Music, Video, and Photos designation.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup of your iPhone, which includes your iPhone settings along with any other data not included with the sync process, such as SMS messages, notes created with the Notes application, recent calls, and call favorites.
There are two options when restoring an iPhone - from your iPhone's backup, and as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If something went awry with your iPhone's backup (which shouldn't occur often), and you restore your iPhone from the backup, you are restoring the same problem.
If you have restored your iPhone from your iPhone's backup and not as a new iPhone, try the latter to see if this makes any difference.
If this doesn't work, as uncool as it may be, you may need to have your iPhone exchanged under warranty if AppleCare or an Apple Store is unable to resolve this for you by any other means.

Changing project dims once they are set ?

Hello,
I'm wondering if it is possible to change the settings of a project once you have set it up, and have imported footage to the timeline ?
I just set up a project, got all my footage on the timeline, and then realize that the project settings were not set to what I wanted.
Is there a way to go and edited the project settings ( dimension ) ?
Thanks,
Dave.

No, but you can create a new project with the correct settings and import the incorrect project into it.

My iMac keeps getting networked by someone. Not sure how they are setting up Bluetooth PAN, VPN and now Adobe which will share my computer info online. I've locked it down, shut off file sharing, made everything inactive except Ethernet connection. How??

An ip address keeps showing up in the proxy setting under the "Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains." I keep erasing them and they pop back in.

Would apple consider unlocking phones once they are old?

Hey Apple and community,
first post here, long time reader.
Recently in my home we bit the bullet and decided to say bye bye to a couple of iphone 3gs' we have upgraded to 2xiphone 5's and and iphone 4. As we do a lot of travelling I have paid to have these genuinely factory unlocked to use alternative sim cards and networks.
the 3GS's are now effective paperweights. The cost of unlocking them is roughly $100 total (AT&T US and Rogers CA). the phones wont sell for this and I would love to donate them to charity or someone who cannot afford a smart phone.
I think it would be very cool if Apple considered unlocking phones once they are a certain age ie 5 years old. It seems a waste that phones would go in the bin (trash) when they are obsolete by our standards but probably very cool and modern by someone else's. At the very least its pro reuse reduce recycle.
What do you think? Would Apple go for it?
Cheers,
appleyoranges

I didn't check AT&T but I did check Rogers and it was $50 so I assumed the other fifty was AT&T. Perhaps they had two Rogers phones. I don't know. If AT&T doesn't charge then it's not so harsh of them after all.
I'm not sure that they don't. However, I've never heard that they do and I couldn't find anything that says they do. Of course, it would hardly be the first time a large company has made it difficult to find some of the less pleasant details on their website.

I am trying to send photos to the cloud from my phone to my iPad but they are not appearing in the stream. I have read the instructions and I think I am doing it right or am I missing a part of the process?

HI,
Have you done this before ? And if so, is photo stream turned on on your iphone and ipad. and as Alfred DeRose pointed out they must both on the same icloud account.
If you're new to this, you might want to do some research. Photo stream is different from camera roll and albums. Many have been on this sight looking for their photos stored in icloud after restore, etc. and they're not there. Also, after thirty days icloud deletes your photos from photo stream.
So if you're not aware, you might want to google your question. We're using the camera connection kit soon and I am learning about it. From all I've read, I'm also not the biggest icloud fan. I use dropbox. We plan to put photos taken on ipad with a camera/iphones into albums on the ipad. We'll keep all on the sd card until (and after) they can be uploaded to a computer.
An example of an article we can learn from -

Hope this helps.

Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes?

Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes? The Ipod Touch, by itself does not allow cross-fading, therefore when the stop time is edited short, the song jusst truncates then goes to the next song. I tried the DJay ap and while it would crossfade, it would NOT read the song settings for the stop marker. So now I want to try and Ipad and see if there is an app that will READ the Itune stop settings within the song. I do NOT want an app that will allow me to DO the stop marker. I want an app that will READ the stop marker from the song as it is set in Itunes.

Itunes provides the option for setting the Start and Stop times of each music track. However, the start and stop times do not synchronize to the iPhone. I don't understand why this option is even available as it doesn't work when listening to music on the phone. I have not found another application that will support the start and stop time markets. I have searched quite a bit for this but can't find anything. I hope we can find something.

I just loaded some July pictures into my PC iCloud photos upload folder, but I do not see them with my iPad. Are they not shared because they are past the 30 day window, or is there a different issue?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing

How do I get my contacts back on my phone I update it now they are missing

I just lost all contacts. I tried the backups but as soon as restore was completed, it would lose notes again. I disconnected after recover but still no notes.
Out of desperation, as I have all my passwords etc on it (yes, I know) but I trusted the iTunes backup system. I looked on the net and found a recovery company called Wondershare, Dr Phone. I tested it and there it all was, but it has now cost me $69 to purchase key number to download my info.
All contacts info and everything else is available. It saves it in a file which you open.
Now I have to type it all in again. I will keep manual backups now as well as using Dropbox from now on. Nightmare. I hope this helps you all.

I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer.

I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting. A phone can only sync with one library at a time. You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced. To know which you will have to provide the information.
If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced.

Apple says Reminders works with Outlook, but I can't find where the lists are displayed in Office or Outlook once they are synced. Any suggestions?

I'll guess you've already discovered the answer to this, but just in case:
Reminders works with Outlook tasks by syncing with iCloud, or through Exchange. You can't sync iOS Reminders with Outlook Tasks via USB/iTunes (like you can do with Notes, Calendar, Contacts).
So the marketing material on Reminders is a little misleading in that it's not specific enough -- there is no syncing without one of those intermediary systems mentioned above.
On a side note, syncing Tasks/Reminders via iCloud is not very good in my opinion:
Requires that you sync to the cloud, even if you have no other use for storing personal data in the cloud.
Requires that the iCloud Control Panel be installed on your PC (not sure about Mac).
After syncing, you'll find new Calendar and Task groups called "iCloud" have been created in Outlook. The calendar groups appear to be created even if you're only syncing Tasks/Remminders (not sure why).
Reminders are stored in the new group (noted above) called "iCloud" rather than in your default Tasks group. This seems to me to be a sort of "parallel" sync, rather than a true sync with Outlook. There are oter implications of your synced tasks being in the new group that I won't go into here, but you can search the interwebs to learn more.
In my own case, I tried iCloud syncing, decided that I didn't like it for the reasons stated above, and then uninstalled (Control Panel and new Outlook groups) with no apparent ill effects.
Though I don't guarantee you'll have the same results, it might be worth a try to see if it suits your purposes.

Since upgrading to 6 on my iphone, my notes disappear. They are no longer in the cloud. Also disappear during typing! What's happening?

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open?

Hi Madhattanite,
Welcome to the Support Communities! When did you purchase your Mac? The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.

A few of the photos will not transfer as they are saved as jpeg.rem files

Hi,
I'm new to this board and trying to transfer pictures and videos from my Blackberry Bold (work one with T-mobile) to
my PC. I tried to do it by using media card reader and was sucessfully able to most of the files
but for some reason a few of the photos will not transfer as they are saved as jpeg.rem files
on my media card. Any ideas why would some of the pictures would be save in a different format
and any suggestions how to transfer them?
I have the same issue with the videos..out of 20+ that I have on the device memory i was only
able to copy about 5 that are in .gp format...rest of them will not open as it appears to be encrypted.
I also have a blackberry curve (with AT&T) as my personal phone...would it read my media card from the
Blackberry Bold?
Thanks!

Hi guruli
The .rem files indicate these files are encrypted. This article should help.

Delete background Apps from memory and then Reset.
To Delete background Apps, double click Home button, in the bar at bottom, hold down on an App Icon until the minus sign appears, tap all the minus signs, until all background Apps are cleared from memory. Then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to restart itself, ignor the 'slide to power off' let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.
