Questions / tips on iphone

Hi, I have a question... how to turn off the key tune on the phone's dial pad? I tried to turn the keyboard click off in the setting->sound, but the key tune is still there. It's annoying to me. any idea where I can turn it off.
Also, with the software upgrade, I still have the slow keyboard issue from time to time. I find if I hold the home key for 5+ seconds it will bring the app down completely then i open the app again everything will be fine. -- just sharing my experience.

I guess 2.0 has some memory issue to cause the sluggish response. Hope they will come up some fixes soon.
This morning i tried to open my AP news app and it crashed before it was launched. I tried 3 times and got the same problem. Finally I powered off and on the iphone then it worked. so reboot is another thing worth trying.
Too bad the dial tune cannot be turned off, unless I use the earphone... Did apple just miss this common feature??

I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

I have over 300 pictures on my phone...my question to someone iphone savvy is why, when I plug my phone into the computer is iPhoto showing no pictures? I want to delete them for space issues. Thanks

I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it.

I have an iPhone 4 and it's been receiving email kind of late, meaning if I make a purchase, at let's say Macy's on my phone, I won't receive the confirmation email immediately; my question is my iPhone maybe hacked? I read that that's one symptom...

I have an iPhone 4 and it's been receiving email kind of late, meaning if I make a purchase, at let's say Macy's on my phone, I won't receive the confirmation email immediately; my question is my iPhone maybe hacked? I read that that's one symptom, so if my phone is infected, how do I fix it?

Alejandro,
Send yourself a test message and see what the response time is.
Is your e-Mail system a push type or a poll type.
If it is a polling type, there will be a delay because there is a timed polling sequences (that you can control to a degree)
In Settings/Mail look for 'Fetch' to see how it is setup.

Can I reset my security questions from my iPhone?

I can't send a rescue email! How do I reset my security questions from my iPhone?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Question about activating iPhone

I'm getting a iPhone soon, and have a question about activation. Is a credit card or debit card required during activation?

The credit card is used to setup an iTunes Store account, Small tip. Set one up before activation to cut down on activation setup time.
You can remove the credit card info off your iTunes account after it is setup. It is simply used for when you want to purchase music, videos, etc. off the iTunes Store.
If you do not have a credit or debit card, Try going down to your local Walmart or Drug store, Some of these places sell Fillable Credit cards. You can buy the cheapest one they have and use it for Setup of the account. And simply refill it if you need more money for any purchases.

Some helpful tips for iPhone unlocking

Some of our community members have asked about questions related to the EE iPhone unlock process, however, there was no official information about it in EE support page. Therefore I'd like to share some tips about this and hopefully it will clear things up.
You can submit your iPhone unlocking request in here: EE/Orange/T-Mobile Unlock Form.
Please do make sure you read all requirements before submitting the request.
If you would like to join EE and wish to unlock your iPhone from other network, you can use the following links:
Vodafone iPhone unlock request
O2 iPhone unlock request
Three UK iPhone unlock request
Apple devices differ from all other manufacturers in that there is no code required to enter into your device in order to unlock your iPhone. However EE have requested on your behalf to Apple that your device be prepared for unlock and the procedure below advises how you can complete this process.
Before attempting the procedure, please make sure that your iPhone is up to date with the latest software version. This can be checked by connecting your device to iTunes via a PC/Mac/Laptop.
iPhone unlock for iOS 6 and iOS 7:
If you have a non-EE SIM Card and you've received confirmation from EE that your iPhone is unlocked, follow these steps:
Insert a non-EE SIM card.
Complete the setup process.
If you do not currently have another SIM card you can use, follow these steps to complete the process:
Back up your iPhone.
Erase your iPhone.
Complete the setup assistant and restore your backup.
iPhone unlock for iOS 5 or earlier:
Always Back up your iPhone first.
If you've received confirmation from EE that your iPhone is unlocked, follow these steps:
Insert a non-EE SIM card. This must be a network provider who also supplies the iphone/ipad.
Switch ON the handset.
Connect to iTunes using USB cable.
Use the “restore” option within iTunes. (located at the bottom of iTunes not the top)
The handset may then display: USB cable and iTunes icon.
Disconnect from USB then re-connect.
Synchronise device with iTunes.
Once synchronised a message will appear on iTunes stating “Congratulations, your iPhone has been unlocked”. If using IOS5 this message will not show.
Follow on screen set up instructions to enable new carrier settings.

Does anybody know if the unlock process has a "use by" date? I'll explain. Last year I upgraded my sons iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5. The plan was to give the 4 to my girfriend who is on T-Mobile. Various queries came up that her SIM wouldn't work in it and I would have to have it unlocked (this from staff in the local EE store who wouldn't even lend me their SIM to try it). I paid for the unlock, gave her the phone and told her to wait until I'd had confirmation that it could be unlocked. Nearly 1 year on and I'm doing upgrades again... I have a shiny new 5S so I'm going to give her my 4S and then use the 4 for work (it's better than the Blackberry they sent me). So, I back up the phone, insert my work SIM card (BT Mobile/Vodafone) only to see the message "Invalid SIM". No amount of turning off and on, resetting, wiping clean and re-loading seems to do the job. Does anybody have any ideas? I'll be damned if I'm going to pay to have it unlocked a second time and I'm told that recently even getting a paid unlock from Orange is less fun than amputating your own arm. Incidentally, when I unlocked my 4S from Vodadone they did it in 4 days and it cost me nothing. Why do EE charge an arm and a leg and take so long over it?

Few Questions on my Iphone 3G

Had the iphone 3G for about a week now, and love it, but just got a couple of questions as there is no manual as such.
1. Can iphone 3G downlaod adobe acrobat/pdf reader/word (pages) or numbers) to see attachements?
2. Alot of video content on google displays a blue box inplace of any video? which download do i need to view these video content on the web?
3. I am new to ipod, and have been putting my cd's through itunes into iphone. importing a CD obviously imports the album (along with artwork if found) into the Album list, but what about creating a folder for a track here and there from different albums to make a sort of folder? im not sure if this is a playlist or not?
I have imported odd single tracks but they have come up as albums?? Can you create folders in itunes and have them list as albums? ie: Best of U2 and put all of your various u2 tracks in there from various sources as an album??
4. Downloaded some apps after setting up my itunes on a PC, now found it easier to work on the mac with itunes, when i synced up it took OFF my downloaded apps, some of which i paid for! can i get these back again? are they in my account?
5. I set up address book as a quick way to add contacts to my iphone which was great, i then used iphoto to grab some various pics of my firends (on facebook) etc to add to my contacts. Now when they ring i get a small thumbnail pic on my iphone screen - can i resize all these so that they are full iphone photos???
Sorry for all the questions, but am really loving the iphone..

Hi -- all your questions are answered with a search of the forums, but to summarize:
1) Yes, it can display (but not edit) Pdf's and all documents from MS Office as well as Apple iWork -- there is no sync conduit for files right now, so you have to e-mail them toyourself, then open the eMail to view the attachment
2) iPhone does not support most video formats at this time. There is nothing you can download to fix that. IT also does not support Adobe Flash.
3) You can create a playlist and drag just the songs you want into that playlist, then sync only that playlist.
4) Just redownload them from your account on iTunes
5) If you add photos to your contacts from your desktop then sync, you get the small thumbnails. If you add photos to your contacts ON the iPhone, you get full-size photos. Most people prefer the thumbnails because the writing on the phone covers up most of the picture if you are in full picture mode -- but that is totally up to you.

SAPPHIRE / ASUG (Orlando) questions / tips

Would anyone share their tips and tricks for the SAPPHIRE / ASUG conference attendees? Based on my TechEd and Florida experience, I'll start:
- Wear comfortable shoes (this is the most important one!)
- Plan your agenda ahead of time and make sure to have a "plan B" for the sessions. But leave some time for exploration too.
- Your colleagues will love it if you bring some free stuff back.
- I never travel to FL without a jacket. There is always some room with AC set to freezing temperatures.
Some specific questions:
- What is the difference between 'Lecture Presentation' and 'Theater Presentation'? Also how are 'Demo Station' and 'Demo Theater' different?
- Is there a map / layout available somewhere? I'm trying to figure out how far the rooms are from each other (at TechEd it was sometimes a good 10 min. walk from one side to another).
- It looks like there are two (or more) buildings - the one labeled Convention Center on Google maps is north of International Dr. And the other one (in the SW corner) is Civic Center. Is the event only in the Convention Center building or is it more spread out?
- How is wifi at the event (it was pretty bad at TechEd in 2013)?
- On Thursday is there some baggage service to store the bags or send them to the airport?
Thank you!

Jelena - yes, it's super-cold inside the Convention Center. I haven't found a map yet but I am sure one will be posted soon.
On this:
Q: What is the difference between 'Lecture Presentation' and 'Theater Presentation'? Also how are 'Demo Station' and 'Demo Theater' different?
A: Lecture presentations are like at TechEd when you listen to a lecturer present slides - usually this is NOT on the show floor - they are on the 2nd and 3rd floors.
Theater presentations and Demo stations are on the show floor.
Q: - Is there a map / layout available somewhere? I'm trying to figure out how far the rooms are from each other (at TechEd it was sometimes a good 10 min. walk from one side to another).
A: Not yet; rooms are not too far from each other if you are doing the lecture sessions. The show floor is big.
You can see Welcome to the Orange County Convention Center</title><link rel="stylesheet" href="nivo-slider.c… - education rooms are on South Side - e.g. S330x
Typically education /lecture sessions are on levels II and III - lower level is the show floor.
Q: - It looks like there are two (or more) buildings - the one labeled Convention Center on Google maps is north of International Dr. And the other one (in the SW corner) is Civic Center. Is the event only in the Convention Center building or is it more spread out?
A: If you stick with the lecture / show floor it is all on the South Side of the convention center (to my knowledge) unless you have meetings in the Hilton which is on the walkway. Sometimes executive meetings are on the North side of the convention center and yes, that is a hike.
Q: How is wifi at the event (it was pretty bad at TechEd in 2013)?
A: Typical conference wifi; my experience is wifi in the lecture sessions is better than during the keynotes or on the show floor
Q: On Thursday is there some baggage service to store the bags or send them to the airport
A: Usually yes - but my choice is to drop my bag off at the Rosen Centre (across the street) and have them send my bag to the airport for $10 - they will check in the bag for you if you drop it off 4 hours before the flight. Much more convenient and you just need to pick up your bag at baggage claim when you leave.

HELP Difficult question Re: 2 iPhones and an iPod......

Hi. I have an iPhone 4s with iTunes on my computer for years. My daughter has an iPod that was originally set up on her father's computer and with her own AppleID. I just got her an iPhone and want to transfer/sync all her info from the iPod to the iPhone. However, when I connect her phone to my computer it connects to my iTunes account. Even if I sign out and sign back in as her it is still my music shown in the library.
I backed up her iPod to my computer and rstored it to her iPhone. Everything showed up EXCEPT the music. It can be found in iTunes, purchases, music.....but NOT in the music folder on the phone.
Lastly, I would like to maintain our seperate AppleID's but be able to share music we purchase since I am ultimately purchasing all the music anyway.
Here are my questions.....
1) Why am I not seeing her music list when I sign into iTunes as her on my computer? How can I get to her music list?
2) How can I get her music list to show up in the music folder on her iPhone?
3) How can we sign in seperately and see our accounts individually going forward?
4) How can we share music purchased between the 2 AppleID accounts?
Thank you for your help!

Question re: syncing iPhone 4 to a new computer.

Hello everyone-
This may be a silly question, but I just want to make sure I've got all my bases covered before I try this ...
I previously synced my iPhone with a copy of iTunes on my desktop computer. Although the iTunes software was installed on the desktop's "C" drive, *the actual iTunes ITL and database files, along with all the media files, were located on an external hard drive*, "F" -- specifically, under "F:/My iTunes."
My desktop crashed, so I now need to sync with my laptop.
Now, presumably, as long as I ensure that the external hard drive still appears as drive letter "F" on my laptop, there will not be any problems with iTunes reading the library files and linking up all my media.
However, what I'm not so sure about is what will happen when I plug in my iPhone. Will it recognize that this is the same library that I have always synced with, and it won't matter that it's on a different computer? Or, will the fact that it's on a different computer lead to problems for me?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

You will need to authorize the new computer in itunes.
Then, I would follow [these instructions|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2297208]
Hope that helps.

A few (basic) questions about the iPhone

I just got my iPhone 3GS about a week ago. I am very new to the whole smartphone arena, so some of my questions my seem stupid. Please be kind regardless.
I've learned a lot about the iPhone by trial and error (pressing buttons to see what happens) but one thing I just discovered was the multitasking bar. When I accessed it, I saw every app I had run since I got the phone displayed in the multitasking bar. And I know that by holding the icons on the bar, you can bring up a red minus sign, touch it, and remove that app from the bar. My question is, are all of those apps displayed in the mutltasking bar constantly running in the background, and thus, draining more battery than necessary?
Secondly, on the topic of wifi. I have my phone set to automatically join known networks and ask me to join unknown networks that it detects. However, it doesn't seem to be doing that. I still have to manually go to settings and search for the network. It will automatically join my home network (for example, when I go somewhere and come home, it will switch back to my home network automatically), but it won't do this with, for example, the wifi network at McDonald's even though I did go through the setup and make that network a known network. Am I mistaken in thinking the phone should do this automatically, or do I have to search for the network every single time? Also, since I have "ask to join networks" checked, will it automatically detect nearby networks, or do I also have to manually search for those? I understand this question may be confusing, so I can try to clarify if need be.
My last question is concerning conserving the battery. I currently have both wifi and 3G active on my phone, and I have read conflicting reports of which one drains more battery. Some say to turn off 3G and keep wifi, others say vice versa. I'm at home a lot so I'm always near my home wifi network and don't need 3G for data transfer unless I'm out and about. So is it better to turn 3G off unless I leave? I'm just trying to do whatever I can to conserve battery because I've noticed that the battery drains quite rapidly.
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted totry and clear those things up. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Only the last 4 apps to be run are actually active and in RAM. The others are swapped out to flash memory in a saved state (i.e you should be able to resume where you left off, if the app is written to support that). They don't therefore drain battery. I close all apps down from time to time (every few days) just to keep things neat.
Secondly, on the topic of wifi. I have my phone set to automatically join known networks and ask me to join unknown networks that it detects. However, it doesn't seem to be doing that.

It should automatically list new networks when (a) you're in range and (b) you try to connect to the internet (e.g. browse to a web page or check for email)
My last question is concerning conserving the battery. I currently have both wifi and 3G active on my phone, and I have read conflicting reports of which one drains more battery.

So is it better to turn 3G off unless I leave? I'm just trying to do whatever I can to conserve battery because I've noticed that the battery drains quite rapidly.
The issue is not which drains more battery, but which you need to connect to the internet. Where you have wifi access, switch off 3G, where you have 3G, switch off wifi.
Sorry for the long post, I just wanted totry and clear those things up. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

BI - Exam Questions & Tips

Hai Friends
I am going to take BI Certification Exam next Week. If any one has got model exam questions or tips about the exam, please write to me at
[email protected]
Thanks in advance
A.Bharath

Steve,
The forum is full of threads on Certification (Just do a search on those key words and you will get myriads of results).
I was wondering however what is the value of a BW 3.0 certification.
BW 3.0 is an outdated version, and i am skeptical about its value in the labour market.
I would opt for either a BW 3 .5 or a NW2004S (if you have experience on this version) certification.
Hope it helps (points are welcome),
Gili
