Preparing for iPhone 4S

I intend to purchase an iPhone 4S next week whilst away from home to replace my current iPhone 4.
As I may be away from home and my main home PC for a while before getting chance to sync the new iPhone 4S, I am wondering what is the best way to prepare for this?
Assuming that I can get iOS 5 installed on my iPhone 4 before leaving for my trip, will this allow me to transfer everything (music, contacts, email accounts, pictures, apps etc.) straight to my new iPhone 4S?
I can also sync the iPhone 4 with a netbook I can take, but as this is not my main PC it will not have any of my music / pictures on it, although I think I could probably get the contacts and email accounts synced via outlook.
Any ideas on the best way to proceed with this?

Perhaps I should have clarified;

Preparing for iPhone 6 - iPhone Configuration Utility

Hello, I've been tasked with drafting a configuration via the iPhone Configuration Utilty in preparation of our new corporate iPhone 6's landing in the next few days, Wi-Fi setup, Exchange Activesync etc. In addition I've also been asked to look into the feasibility and benefits of SCEP and S/MIME so was wondering whether someone could answer a few questions that I have;
1) Downloading of Apps to deploy via the profile
I'm a little confused as to how to download iOS app's onto our MAC Mini server and present them to the configuration utility. I understand that I need to import them via the add new application button in the top right of the utilty but in terms of actually preparing the app for import, I'm a little confused.
2) S/MIME
Does the iPhone Configuration Utility support a global S/MIME setup? By this I mean how does the device associate the user profile with the certificate and would the signing and encryption certificates need to be enterprise or user level?
3) SCEP
Is anyone using this method of distributing certicates to their iOS devices. If so what are the benefits and if known, outside of a CA and SCEP server, what infrastructure is required to allow it to function as an internal mechanism?
Looking forward to all your replies.
Thanks very much.

Preparing photos for iPhone 4 - resolution and aspect ratio

Is there an optimum photo size when preparing photos for display on the iPhone 4 or does the iPhone optimize the size automatically upon import? Also, what is the recommended aspect ratio?

Dan, I did a quick check with one of my pictures. Normally I prepaired my photos in Photoshop to a size 1920px : 1280px with embedded Color Profile (sRGB) for iPhone 4. Then I save it in a folder. With iPhoto I import to a album then sync with iTunes. Now for a test, i sent one photo from the iPhone via email to me, opened in Photoshop to see any difference to the original photo on my computer. It´s the same size and same quality. Only the color profile is not embedded. Maybe iPhoto-iTunes does a small color correction for the iPhone display.

I backed up my iphone 3 in preparation for moving to iphone 4S and before i changed the sim card I discovered my notes had been wiped! It looks like this is quite common but can anyone tell me where the notes I backed up on itunes would be???

In the iPhone backup. Right click on the phone in iTunes and choose "Restore from Backup".

How long is the "preparing for dispatch" stage for the iphone 5s?

How long will my iphone 5s be in the "preparing for dispatch" stage?
Thanks

expect to recieve it between the quoted delivery dates, and be suprised if it arrives earlier. It's possible, but no one here can say for sure.

IPhone 4S preparing for shipment...

Now that same day at about 7pm I ordered my brothers iPhone 4S which is basically the same model as the one that I orederd. His shiped monday morning and mine still hasnt shipped. I just checked again the status of it and it still saying preparing for shipment and that it delivers october 14th. Should I call apple about this? Is anyoe else experiencing this issue too?

If my IPHONE 5 order status has changed from "processing" to "preparing for delivery" is there a chance I will receive it sooner than the 10/5 date that it is scheduled for?

I pre-ordered my iPhone 5 on 9/15 at 4am EST. It said shipping in 2 weeks with an delivery date of 10/5... yadda yadda yadda. This morning my order status showed as 'processing'. This afternoon it changed to 'preparing for delivery'. Is there a chance I will now receive before 10/5? Trying to plan accordingly. Thanks in advance for any info you can give.

I was in the same boat. I ordered @ 5:09AM EST on 9/14 and had the 10/5 delivery date. My status changed from processing to preparing to ship yesterday 9/21. I got an e-mail from Apple @ 4:22AM this morning 9/22 that it has shipped (along with the precious tracking #)! I would expect it would arrive by this Friday 9/28 at the latest.

I have recently updated m iPhone 4 which was not used since months. It has to be updated from5.1.4 to iOS 7.0.4 and it has taken more than 15 hours to get started. Plz help me. It took about 5 to 6 hrs to prepare for updating.

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

IPhone 6 Plus Preparing for Dispatch

Hello There,
My iPhone 6 Plus order has just stated it is 'Preparing for Dispatch', I wonder if anyone has had experiences with the time it takes from this stage to the iPhone being dispatched?
Any ideas or help will be grateful.
Thanks

I was wondering the same thing, FWIW you might like to look at this discussion?

HT4847 In preparing for iCloud storage to be reduced to 5GB, I have deleted all my emails (via internet to iCloud) including all inboxes, sent mail, archived etc. HOWEVER my iPhone (under Settings iCloud Storage and Backup Manage Storage says I have 8.5 G

In preparing for iCloud storage to be reduced to 5GB, I have deleted all my emails (via internet to iCloud) including all inboxes, sent mail, archived etc. HOWEVER my iPhone (under Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage says I have 8.5 GB. Please help!

The only thing I can think of that may cause this would be storage buffering. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

How long is the preparing for shipment (for iphone 4s)???

already one day, the status still in "preparing for shipment"...how long is the period between "preparing for shipment" untill "shipped"???....

As long as it takes.
Frankly, this would be a question for Apple, not other users in this user to user support forum.

Add Attendees (name AND phone no.) from Address Book to iCal for iPhone use

Hello scripting gurus and newbs alike.
I've looked through the forums, but can't find a COMPLETE solution to what I believe should be a fairly straightforward problem. I'll start by asking the question as concisely as I can, then bring in more information about what I have tried, and learned, so far. I'll also outline my broad (mini) project aims at the end, in case anyone is interested.
* Q: How can I add attendees, from my Address Book, to an iCal event, so that **ALL** the attendee details are included?
Note: It is VITAL to me that attendees' phone number(s) are available through iCal, not just {display name, email, participation status}. This is because I want MobileMe to synch the event with my iPhone, so I can call attendees directly from iCal. (or at least have iCal open the attendee's Contacts record so I can call from there!)
WHY DO I THINK IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE?
Manually, I can simply dbl-click on the event, click into the attendees field, start typing the attendee name, and hit enter. When I do this, it works. MobileMe synchs it to the iPhone, I open iCal, select the event, tap the attendee, and I'm calling.
WHAT I'VE TRIED USING APPLESCRIPT
When I try the following script, I've only managed to set Sheila's name/email/participation status. I can retrieve her phone number from Address Book using the above approach, but unsure how to make it stick in iCal * such that I am able to use it to call directly from iCal on the iPhone *
++++++++++++++++++++++
tell application "Address Book"
set anAttendee to name of (first person whose name contains "Sheila")
end tell
tell application "iCal"
set newEvent to make new event at end with properties ¬
{summary:"Meeting Info.", location:"ZIP", description:"More yak", start date:SD, end date:SD + 120 * minutes}
make new attendee at end of attendees of newEvent with properties {display name:anAttendee}
end tell
++++++++++++++++++++++
WHERE I'VE LOOKED FOR SIMILAR EXAMPLES
Thanks to Rob (et al) for providing script examples used to create the above, see here: http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?id=5692
I've also looked at the following article, which makes me think I somehow need to use the PERSON ID in the event attendee list. Unfortunately, I have only managed to retrieve the ID, but had no joy trying to set it.
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech … index.html
THE PROJECT
I'm a surveyor, and using dialog(s) to enter relevant info., I'm looking to streamline my preparation for surveys when I make each new appointment.
My mini-project presently enables me to print survey forms (based on a Pages template) with details relating to the specific property (address/contact name&no./appointment date&time etc.) It also uses the appointment date&time to create the appropriate event in iCal.
I'm also confident I can add the contact details, such as agent/owner name(s) and phone number(s) in Address Book.
IF I COULD ONLY ADD THESE AS ATTENDEE(S), AS IF ADDED MANUALLY, I WOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO PHONE THE PROPERTY OWNERS WITH A COURTEOUS REMINDER WHEN I'M ON THE WAY!!
Can anyone help me achieve this?
Here's hoping.
Phil (wiimixer)

Phil
Referencing the attendee in iCal will only directly record the properties you mention - because that's how it's designed to work and there's no way around the restriction unless iCal is changed.
You could set the phone number elsewhere in the iCal event - e.g. notes, location, ... - and that would probably allow you to call from iCal (I don't have an iPhone so I can't be sure), but I am not sure I see the advantage over using the link to iPhone's Address Book which is set up by adding an attendee to the event. This might be because I am being dense, so if this is the case please elaborate.
EDIT:
I have read your original post in more detail since I wrote the above. It seems to me that you are saying that when you add the person to the iCal event via AppleScript that you do not get the link to the iPhone's Address Book when you sync via MobileMe. You imply, however, that it does work when you type the name manually. Are these both correct statements?

Apple shipped my bumper but charged for iPhone

I ordered an iPhone 4 on the 29th then two days later I ordered a white bumper. My phone is supposed to ship the 21st and bumper the 23rd. Yesterday I was charged for the phone so I checked order status and my bumper was shipped but my phone isn't even prepared for shipment.
Has anyone else had anything like this happen?

Sounds to me like you ordered 2 items that were not in stock and the bumper came in stock first so it is being shipped first. Your orders have nothing to do with each other, just be happy your bumper is shipping.

When I go to download my iMovie to iTunes I get the following message "Unable to prepare project for publishing. That project could not be prepared for publishing because a error occurred"(disk full). What do I need to do?

When I go to share my Imovie to Itunes after a couple of hours I get the following message. "Unable to prepare project for publishing. That project could not be prepared for publishing because a error occurred(disk full)". What does this mean and how do I fix it?

This is the forum for iOS (iPhones and iPads),
I have refered it to get moved to the correct forum.
But my guess is that you have to clear space on your harddrive.
The video gets rendered when you out put it, so you will need lots of space to do so.

Exporting from FCP for iPhone...

OK... So we have almost 100 videos on our website from the last couple years. I was under the impression they worked on ipods/iphones..... I was wrong. Here is step by step how I export them from FCP, I'm hoping someone can point out why they wont play on iphones.
Export / Using Quicktime Conversion
Video Settings: H.264, 29.97 fps, automatic keyframes, frame reordering off, data rate at 700 kb/sec, optimized for streaming
Size: QVGA: 320x240
Sound: AAC, 48.000khz, VBR at 112 kbps
Prepare for internet steaming: Fast Start - Compressed Header
I know I could used the apple devices setting from compressor but I tend to get not-so-good results when using the preset options. Any help getting these working is greatly appreciated.

trc,
This page lists encoding option that are suggested in the "Ensuring a Great Audio and Video Experience" collapsable menu:
https://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/designingcontent.html
In addition to the encoding, I would verify your server supports all the requirements in that link as well.
This page has additional information on embedding:
