Ready to throw iphone at a hard surface, pls help?

I have a 3GS and recently updated to 4.1...... ever since my phone is cutting off every call I make and receive! Alarm going off an hour early (which I know everyone is having that problem), apps seem to have a mind of their own, and now I can't send MMS! I hardly had a problem with it before the update! If I restore my phone will it go back to original version or is my poor phone doomed? Please help

Click on Restore but you can also ask iTunes to put back your informations from the backup so that a Restore only re-installs the OS but not erasing any personal information.

It's unfortunate that your device has been stolen. You can report this to the police, but as has been answered before, if the device is restored you CANNOT locate it.
It probably is technically possible to track your device by the SIM; law enforcement will not waste their time doing so. Besides, the thieves have probably changed it anyway.
While unfortunate your iPad is gone, you really need to move on.

Problem with both the speaker and earphones?
Have you tried another pair of headphones?
Yu can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

When using face time, my iPad, iPhone, and macbook will ring, pls help me set up

i used to use call through face time to my macbook, iphone, and ipad vice versa using my primary cell number on my iphone, and the macbook and ipad with my 2 other email add but after updating i0s 7 on ipad and iphone, everytime someone calls me through facetime, all iphone, ipad and macbook would ring at the same time. can someone pls help me,thanks.

I have a very similar network set as you describe.
N devices go to 5 GHZ N router a TC connected by ethernet and N+B/G devices go to the secondary "bridged" router an Extreme connected by ethernet. I also have one more Extreme set also in bridge mode and connected by ethernet. the first two routers are also set to create their own wireless network. You set all this configuration using Airport Utility. I have a HP usb Bonjour shared laserjet connected to the first Extreme. ATV by ethernet to the TC. Xbox360 connected to the first Extreme wirelessly. I've since departed both my Express routers, did not need anymore but I used to have them set in bridge mode and create their own wireless network. Just point each computer device depending upon their speed of wireless card to which ever network you created, keeping the N separate from the B/G.

I am novice in hardware stuff. I am planning on doing it entirely by myself and on tight budget will need to compare the prices across sellers and buy a suitable peice of kit. Please help
Questions:
1 - How to find out which RAm do I need to buy and what is the maximum I can go on my macbook?
2 - How to find which hard drive to buy and what is the maximum my macbook will support?
3 - Can I buy the SSD drive instead of SATA for this macbook?
Some of the specs are listed below:

Hi Chefjeegar
Yes that screwdriver kit has the #00 phillips screwdriver that you need to access the RAM and hard drive. You'll also need the Torx driver to change the hard drive. http://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-Computer-Technician-Precision-Torx/dp/B0000934GO/r ef=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1348072554&sr=1-1
For a good explanation about RAM look at the page on OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/
In the UK Amazon or eBay might be your best bet for cheap RAM but read the description and reviews carefully. For a little more expensive but with a better warranty is Crucial UK http://www.crucial.com/uk/
A good resource for working on your MacBook is ifixit.com http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Core_2_Duo
Is your external hard drive formatted for Mac? To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Put the new drive in your MacBook, then format and partition the new drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer your OS back to the new drive.
Yes, you can put an SSD in the MacBook.

Restoring iphone 5 from iPhone 4 backup from iTunes pls help!

In a pickle can anyone help please....
When I try to set up my new iphn 5 64GB by restoring from a backup on itunes it says that the back up is either corrupt or iphone not compatible. I have tried restarting the computer and still no joy. Is there anything I can do. Please don't tell me to just create a new backup from the iphn 4 and try again as I can't beacuse since the last backup my iphone 4 had a big blip hence why I have upgraded. Was using iphone 4 and opened a text message from a friend which made my phone crash and then restart missing two years worth of texts and whatsup. Gutted I have lost the info but no way how to recover and put back on phone. I tried to update using my last back up despite that being a month out of date, but no good it said ...
iTunes could not restore the iphone because the backup could not be saved on the computer???? when I did this back up it never said it was no good - are previous backups still there? Would it show up if I deleted this back up?
The message I get now if I try and restore to the new iphone 5 is that backup is either corrupt or not compatible. Am I totally stuffed Or is there hope
Any thoughts or ideas gratefully received.
Really wanted to keep some of the texts as they were from when my daughter was born. Sad I have lost them.
Thanks
Bottie

You're welcome. If your phone is not showing under Devices on the left side of iTunes after connecting it, see the troubleshooting steps here:
iPhone not recognized in iTunes for Mac
iPhone not recognized in iTunes for Windows

Dropped iPhone 3GS... :( pls help

hi, i dropped my iPhone 3GS and since it is showing 'no service'. i have tried everything switching it on/off, putting it on airplane mode, taking sim out and putting it back but nothing seems to work. please help what should i do?

I believe after what you've tried, it's time for you to take it in to an Apple Service Center to have them test it, to see what was damaged by the fall.
Hope this helps

My iphone is lost and its without the app find my iphone.....pls help me

i need to find it plzz help....atleast tell me how to get back my data...plzz

The app being installed on the missing device has absolutely nothing to do with being about to track that device.
Did you activate the Find My iPhone feature prior to the device being lost?
If the answer is yes, go to iCloud.com and track the device.
If the answer is no, there is no way to track the device.

I'm ready to throw my iBook in the trash!

I have been using PCs forever and 2 years ago I decided to make the switch to a Mac because I heard so many good things about them. Well, I'm starting to think I made a big mistake! I'm about to throw this stupid iBook in the trash because it freezes ALL the time. The only software I've loaded on to it is Photoshop Elements and the Microsoft office stuff. I basically use my laptop for surfing the 'net, writing documents, and loading pics in to iPhoto. I have 3 years of Apple Care and when I tried to call them recently to get some help, I was on hold for over 15 mins. I got tired of waiting for a tech, so I hung up. At this point, I absolutely hate my iBook and am ready to go buy a PC, unless someone can help me out and get this stupid thing to stop freezing ALL the time! (Sorry for the venting....I'm just SOOOOO completely fed up with this thing -- I spent a decent amount of money on it and have only had it for 2 years. I expected it to perform so much better than it has been.) Thanks for reading.

Unfortunately, with the iPhone and Leopard coming out, I think Apple Tech Support has been swamped and from what I hear, it's hard to get through. It might help to call earlier in the day.
Do you by any chance have access to an Apple Store? If so, you could go online and make an appointment with the genius bar and see if they cold help.
Freezing could be software or hardware related. It's possible your hard drive is getting too full. How big is your hard drive and how much free space do you have?
On general principles, you could go to Disk Utility and verify both permissions and the disk and repair if necessary. This might not solve the problem, but it is good practice and will eliminate one possible source of problems.
On general principles, you could run the Apple Hardware Test (on one of your gray install discs that came with your computer) and also the Tech Tool Delux CD that came with your Applecare and see if anything shows up in the form of an error code.
Usually the method is to eliminate software as a possible cause before looking to hardware. I am not the one to advise you on this as I am not a software expert. One way to do this is to reinstall the OS, but that is a lot of trouble, and I think there are alternative things to try first. One thing to try is to download the combo update from the Apple site. But it would be best to let the software experts on this forum guide you through this, and I hope they will post their recommendations.
One thing to be aware of is that there have been some logic board problems with the iBooks that can cause freezing. These have been extensively discussed on this forum. If that turns out to be the case with yours, it is Apple's problem and they will have to fix it under warranty.
Sorry that you are having these problems. I can relate because my iBook started to freeze too--after it was out of warranty. We are just users on this forum, but we will do our best to help you out.
Please post back about your free hard drive space and what if anything you found out from DU and the AHT and we will take it from there.
Good luck!

STILL can't get Videos into 5G iPod , Ready to throw it out the window

I'm ready to throw this iPod out the window , I spent all day yesterday over 10 hours , trying to get videos onto my iPod , my iPod software and iTunes are up tp date , first I just drag and dropped them as MPEG no luck iTunes recognized and played them but wouldn't let me drag and drop them to the iPod then I used iSquint , it converted them to MPEG 4 , they transferd into iTunes and played but not the iPod I got an error that they weren't transferable and not recognized by the iPod .
I called Appe this morning and they were no help since I didn't get the Vid's from the appple store and since you only get one free service call ,and wouldn't tell me the format for the videos I didn't want to waste it . They suggested I buy Quicktime Pro .
Then I tried , Movies For My iPod . I used the transfer for iPod option , it converted them to .mp4.m4v . I drag and dropped them directly to the iPod no luck , they're there but wont play or show up in the iPod then I opened up iTunes and drag and droppped them into iTunes again played in iTunes not transfered to the iPod although it said it was updating .
Then ,I tried the custom settings file format MP4 , video format , MPEG-4 Improved , Image Size 320 X 240 QVGA , again I tried to drag and drop them onto the iPod still not there , now I tried to drag and drop unto iTunes , again they're there and play but won't show up on the iPod . I've pretty much had it .
In the Movies For MY iPod they're are some custom settings . File Format MP4(ISMA) In the Video there is an MPEG-4 Improved setting with a bit rate of 256 kbits/sec Image size 320x 240 QVGA frame rate 30 plus alot of other settings which I have no idea what they are .
Today I have 6 hours of frustration into this still no luck . I'm really disappointed with Apple ,I started out with the first iMac a Bondi Blue and have been working my way up , I have an iBook , an iMac Graphite , a G4 iMac a 15G 3G iPod now the 5G iPod . Apple should have included Quick Time pro in the G5 , and only one support call, come on , even Dell gives you a year of support .
And to top it all off the Black is beautiful but scratches easily , I'm a chef , my nails very short and allready it's scratched to bits by the wheel, I keep it in a case when I'm playing it , you can hardly touch it . I'm not very happy with Apple and this iPod , they rushed it out for the holiday , so if your in the jacksonville Florida area look for a flying iPod .

Lets run down a list of possibilities:
1) You are using iTunes 6 here, correct?
2) You did not say whether or not you are running in auto-sync, manual management, or "Enable Disk" mode. If you left it in the default mode as installed (auto-sync), then after dropping your movies into iTunes (or adding them to the Library), simply connect your iPod and allow it to auto-sync (mirror) the current contents of iTunes. (You can also try "Update iPod" option under the File menu, but I have found it unreliable -- possibly owing to "sleeping" iPod.)
3) Not sure if your reference to "dropping the movie on the iPod" is a reference to the iPod desk icon in manua/disk enabled mode or the iPod "Source" reference/associaed contents list in iTunes. Could you clarify where you are attempting to "drag 'n drop" and/or the selected sync mode of operation in your iPod Preferences.
4) As to conversion to iPod compatible formats, recommend you stick with MoviesForMyPod and/or iSquint if you are restricted to QT Pro 6 and not sure what settings to use for MPEG4 preset collection/QuickTime Movie full manual mode.

Airport Extreme Base Station - I am ready to throw this thing...

Dear All,
I'm about ready to throw this thing out the window, along w/ everything else from Apple I own... Sorry, at my wits-end and have finally had it with this thing.
My g/f and I live in an apt with an Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS), 10/100baseT Switch, Xbox 360, PC clone tower (PowerSpec), and two Centrino Laptops... The topology our network is the following
DSL == Modem => AEBS => 10/100 Switch => (XBox 360, Powerspec)
Every other day, the AEBS drops out for no obvious reason. Not only for no reason, it DROPS the connection and causes interference on our wired network. If I'm playing Call of Duty 2, for instance, and using Skype at the same time, anywhere from 10-30min later, the WiFi connection will drop altogether and the wired network will go down too.
I've done multiple hard-resets and the issue persists. Apple wants $80 to talk to me (after we paid $150 for it because it's supposedly "the best") after only owning it for a little over a year. It seems that this problem has been persistent.
My g/f finally cracked down and bought a Verizon EVDO card and uses it while she is out, but in the house because she cannot use our home network reliably.
I've tried using it on WPA2, WEP, and even left it open but the thing still drops for no reason...sometimes within hours, or two two days. I'll come home, boot up my laptop, and the WiFi is completely gone...non-existant. Boot hers, same thing... I doubt it's interference because we have 1 cordless phone and it's a 900mhz, which we rarely use anyway.
Does anyone else have any of the problem(s) we're having? This has been semi-often since we got it, and all Apple told us was "interference" and won't help us because we use PC (I used to own a Mac, hence why I got this).

Update: Well, the AEBS 'bombed' out again when I got home on Friday, no access whatsoever.
I unplugged my DSL modem from it, plugged it in directly to my HP notebook, and was surfing the 'net w/out a problem. Power cycled the AEBS and it worked fine. That was just over one day on firmware v5.5.1, longer than it lasted on v5.7.
Here's my conclusion...
I'm 'convinced' that v5.7 is buggy and it's known, or well documented. It will cost more money to fix it, or release a new firmware version that repairs the bugs from v5.7, than to just leave it alone and hope people either downgrade to v5.5.1 or purchase a new AEBS (w/ 802.11n).
After countless hours of dealing w/ this, of which I feel like a complete and utter fool, I went out and bought a competitor's product (Linksys) and installed it on Saturday morning. As of this writing, I've had no drop-outs and the access seems to be more punctual, or responsive than when I was accessing under my AEBS. Therefore, I'm happy to say my problem of unreliable WiFi access in my apt is solved, but only after spending $50 to purchase a new router.
I spent $180 on the AEBS and I can remember the first time I had to call AppleCare about printing issues I was having with it; I could print from Windows XP (both wired and wireless), but not from Tiger OSX 10.4. No-one had a clue, but was only told that the issue was my "printer" not the AEBS or my Mac. Despite repeated attempts to re-inform that it works just fine under Windows XP with both my Lexmark and Canon inkjets, it would not print properly (bombed out half/way through the page) under Mac OSX.
So, here on my shelf, sits the Airport Extreme Base Station that I paid $180 for, and it is basically useless. Apple could care less about it, but then again, why should they--after all, it had a 1 year warranty and despite trying to resolve issues I had w/ it while it was in fact within the warranty period, that time has come and gone.
