Reception problem is with OS/4 and not the iphone 4.

A reviewer contacted Apple and they said it's a problem with the IOS4 update that they will be patching. Maybe it is.
This guy is getting the issue on his iPhone 3G.

BS... Come on people. Think about it. It is impossible to be software. You pick up the phone, which is skin to metal, interference occurs with the antennas, and you lose signal. You lay the phone down, break the interference, and problem is gone. You can't get that skin to metal contact on any of the other phones.
You all go ahead and wait, wait, and wait some more for your software fix.
Totaly bogus...

  • How do I determine if the memory problems are with my imac and not the RAM?

    I've heard of some vague problems with intel imacs and their memory slots. I'm about to replace (for the 3rd time) RAM, and think I need to test further to see if the problem is with my imac and not the RAM. Right now I put back in the original 2-512 sticks that came with the imac, and the rember test is only showing 594mb (odd amt!) testing OK. But, in "about my mac" it will show as 1gb.
    Problems I've had with each set of RAM: occasional KP's, excessive spinning beachballs, sudden closing of apps (esp. if I have several apps running), won't fax usually (will hear a fax tone instead of a dial tone at the onset), disappearing documents section under my username.
    I bought this imac refurbed thru the apple store last fall: 2.16 C2D 20" imac
    Any ideas before I have to separate myself from my imac to send it in??

    Hi Toodles
    The pin strips on the new modules maybe a little thicker than your original modules, and it's going to take more force to seat them properly. If the new Memory Specifications are correct I would try them again. Slide them in untill they stop, then push real hard untill you feel them seat into place.
    I've never seen a report about an odd amount of ram shown. If reinstalling the ram modules does not solve your issue, and may be a indication that there is something wrong with one of the slots.

    Hi ..
    Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
    This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
    Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery

  • All of a sudden my WiFI will only connect with my IMac and not my IPhone or laptop

    my WiFi will connect to my IMac But not my IPhone or Laptop and it did up until a couple days ago

    You might want to consider changing the name of your wireless network on the AirPort Extreme and then test to see if all devices can connect that way.
    If you decide to do this, leave any apostrophes, dollar signs, exclamation marks, etc out of the wireless network name. Use only letters and numbers in the wireless network name.

  • How to get siri to send a text to an email address and not the iphone number?

    Better worded this time.  Siri sends texts using a contact iphone number if they have one.  I want it to send to the contacts email address (or apple id).  if no iphone is present for a contact siri asks me which address i want to use. if there is an iphone listed for the contact it defaults to that phone number.  I don't want it to do that.  I want siri to always use the email address.  Can that be done?

    If you wrote your database send mail package to support different MIME Types, then you need to change the MIME Type to HTML before you add the HTML tags to your email message body. Check out this article (Sending Email from the database with UTL_SMTP package) and look at the "maildemo.sql" package provided in the article. This package will show you how to set the MIME Type to support HTML message bodies.
    Hope this helps,

  • Signal reception problem? its not the iphone its...

    Ok after i read through MANY people problems ive realized they are blaming the iphone 4 itself .... WRONG
    Test 1 well i still had my 3g and 3gs both of them were OS 3. whatever i forgot both EXCELLENT RECEPTION but as everyone know the IPHONE 4 had bad reception even without touching the 2 BLACK LINES sometimes it goes to 1 bar for some reason.
    Test 2 OK so i tried something else i update my 3gs to OS 4 and well can you guess what happen when i held it in the bottem? YUP the bars decreased to 1 i know your probably denieng it
    Test 3 so now i UPDATED MY 3G to OS 4 and held the bottem..... can you guess what happen the reception to went down to 1
    obviously it isnt the iphone its the software and if i didnt read wrong there is gonna be a new softare update OS 4.1 to fix the solution but like i said I READ so i dont know hopefully it will come
    but these happen to my phones if anyone got a iphone 3g or 3gs updated to OS 4 and no reception problem then i guess its magick =/

    I did a little experiment here at work. I have a 3G and I have to buddies with 3Gs. We held the iPhone in our left hands completely covering the back of the phone and are fingers wrapped around the other edge. We all where able to reproduce the issues with the bars slowly falling away until there where no bars left. Then we place the phone on a flat surface where we where not touching the phone and the bars slowly can back to full strength. All of us have upgraded our phones to ios4. Until this issues came up with the iPhone 4 I had never thought of doing this hand covering procedure. I also run a speed test before I lost all the bars and after I lost all the bars. Had decent speed before and dismal speed after. Also I went from 3G to Edge during the process. We need to find an iPhone that has not been updated to ios4 and test it in the same manor.

  • How do I Help Apple Care Stop Warring with Each Other and Fix the Problem with My iPhone that They Acknowledge Creating?

    How Do I Help Apple US & Apple Europe Stop Warring With Each Other And Fix The Problem They Created?
    PROBLEM
    Apple will not replace, as promised, the iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) that they gave me in London, UK, with an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model).
    BACKGROUND
    My iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) was purchased this year in September on an existing Verizon Wireless (VZW) line using an upgrade. The purchase took place in California and the product was picked up using Apple Personal Pickup through the Cerritos Apple Retail Store. I will refer to this phone at my "original" phone.
    The original phone was taken into the Apple Store Regent Street in London, England, UK on November 15, 2012. The reason for this visit was that my original phone's camera would not focus.
    The Apple Store Regent Street verified there was a hardware problem but was unable to replace the part.
    The Apple Store Regent Street had me call the US AppleCare. At first they denied support, but then a supervisor, name can be provided upon request, approved the replacement of my original phone with an iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) as a temporary solution until I got back in the US. And approved that the GSM model would be replaced with a CDMA model when I came back to the US. I will refer to the GSM model as the "replacement". They gave me the case number --------.
    The Apple Store Regent Street gave me the replacement and took the original. The first replacement did not work for reasons I do not understand. They switched out the replacement several times until they got one that worked on the T-Mobile nano SIM card that I had purchased in England, UK. Please refer to the repair IDs below to track the progression of phones given to me at the Apple Store Regent Street:
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 15)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
    The following case number was either created in the UK or France between November 15 to November 24. Case number -----------
    On November 19, 2012, I went to France and purchased an Orange nano SIM card. The phone would not activate like the first two repair IDs above.
    On November 24, 2012, I went to the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps. The Genius told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. They had me call the AppleCare UK.
    My issue was escalated to a tier 2 UK AppleCare agent. His contact information can be provided upon request. He gave me the case number -----------.
    The UK tier 2 agent became upset when he heard that I was calling from France and that the France Apple Store or France AppleCare were not helping me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault.
    The UK tier 2 agent said he was working with engineers to resolve my problem and would call me back the next day on November 25, 2012.
    While at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, a Genius switched the phone given to from repair ID ----------- with a new one that worked with the French nano SIM card.
    Also, while at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, I initiated a call with AppleCare US to get assistance because it seems that AppleCare UK was more upset that France was not addressing the issue rather than helping me. I have email correspondance with the AppleCare US representative.
    A Genius at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps switched the replacement with a new GSM model that worked on the French SIM card but would not work if restored, received a software update, or had the SIM card changed. This is the same temporary solution I received from the Apple Store Regent Street in the UK.
    By this point, I had spent between 12-14 hours in Apple Store or on the phone with an AppleCare representative.
    Upon arriving in the US, I went to my local Apple Store Brea Mall to have the replacement switched with a CDMA model. They could not support me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. My instructions were to call AppleCare US again.
    My call with AppleCare US was escalated to a Senior Advisor, name can be provided upon request, and they gave me the case number -----------. After being on the phone with him for over an hour, his instructions were to call the Apple Store Regent Street and tell them to review my latest notes. They were to process a refund for a full retail priced iPhone 5 64BG black onto my credit card so that I could use that money to buy a new iPhone 5 64GB black at the Apple Store Brea Mall to reoslve the problem.
    The Apple Store Regent Street did not process my refund. He, name can be provided upon request, told me that the AppleCare US did not do a good job reviewing my case, that they were incapable of getting to the bottom of it like they were, and instructed me to call AppleCare US and tell them to review this case number and this repair id. I asked if he read the notes from the AppleCare US Senior Advisor and he would not confirm nor deny. When I offered to give him the case number he accepted but it seemed like would do no good. Our call was disconnected. When I tried calling back the stores automated system was turned on and I could not get back through.
    Now I have the full retail price of an iPhone 5 64GB black CDMA on my credit card and Apple will not process the refund as they said they would.
    I've, at this point, spent between 14-16 hours at Apple Stores or on the phone with AppleCare representatives, and still do not have the problem resolved.
    SOLUTION
    AppleCare US and AppleCare Europe need to resolve their internal family issues without further impacting their customers.
    Apple is to process a refund to my credit card for the cost of a full retail priced iPhone 5 64GB black.
    DESIRED OUTCOMES
    I have an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) that works in the US on VZW as it did before I received the replacement phone in the UK.
    Apple covers the cost of the solution because I did not create the problem.
    Apple resolves their internal issue without costing me more time, energy, or money.
    This becomes a case study for AppleCare so that future customers are not impacted like I have been by their support system.
    Does anyone have recommendations for me?
    Thank you!
    <Edited by Host>

    Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
    Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

    Yup, your question and Diane's answer helped me also. Tho' I had had problems before getting into the iTunes store I always managed to find a way. Today they had me blocked cold with the "Update to 10" advert no matter what I did. Other questioners are being told, incorrectly as it turns out, that they have to update their OS to accomodate iTunes 10 and upgrade to iTunes 10. I did the download which did not take up much more room on my crowded old hard drive and now I'm back in business.

    The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

  • Outlook 2010 has problems dealing with in-line attachment (not an Exchange issue!)

    Hi all...
    Is there an official way to have this bug looked at? 
    (Note -- it is *not* the Exchange/PDF bug that has been semi-addressed with the very-recentInterim Update for Exchange 2007...)
    If I set up Outlook 2010 to use an IMAP server account (not an Exchange account) and send that account a message from Apple's Mail.app program -- that contains an in-line attachment -- Outlook 2010 displays the e-mail incorrectly.
    If I send e-mail using Apple Mail of the form:
    <some text>
    attachment  (and in this case I've tried .pdf, .docx, .xls, etc. -- it seems not to matter what the attachment is...)
    <additional text>
    <signature>
    Outlook 2010 displays the resulting e-mail with a problem:
    The received e-mail will look like this
    <some text>
    then *two* attachments -- the attached file *and* an "Untitled Attachment" that contains the <additional text> and <signature> parts of the e-mail (!)
    The reproducible bug (at least here) is that Outlook 2010 should display the remaining text after the in-line attachment within the *body* of the e-mail message.
    Again, this is *not* the recent Exchange issue with .pdf files -- this is strictly an Outlook issue.
    Any thoughts/help on this one?
    - Steve

    Hello,
    In order to get a better understanding of your issue I have a few questions:
    1: You mention that the sending client is an Apple mail application. Do you see this issue when sending from a non-Apple email client?
    2: Which version of Apple Mail app are you using?
    3: If you send the same mail to an Outlook 2007 or earlier version of Outlook do you see the same issue?
    4:  What is the format of the Email when being sent from the Apple mail client, is it HTML; Plain Text or Rich Text? Additionally, what happens if you send the same email but change the format.
    5: If you send an Inline attachment to the Apple Mail application from Outlook 2010, what happens?
    6: As per the Post you are attaching a single Inline attachment with text before and after the attachment before sending the email, but when you receive the mail in Outlook you get two attachments. Are these attachments still inline attachments?
    7: The second file attachment; next to the remaining text and the signature does it contain any other text? Like some error added by the server?
    9: Instead of .pdf, .docx, .xls file if you send an image as an inline attachment from the Apple mail application, then so you see the issue?
    10: If you send the files as normal attachment not inline does everything work?
    Below is an article which may be applicable to your issue although it pertains to an earlier version of Outlook:
    ‘Outlook renders inline message information as an attachment’
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814111
    I also came across a user who experience similar issue and they suggested, setting the apple mail application to Always insert attachment at the end of the message.
    View->Attachments and select "Always Insert Attachments at End of Message
    Let me know what the results are using that setting.
    Do let me know if you have any queries regarding the same and I shall try my best to address it as far as possible.

  • Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.

    Fix for Airport Wireless Connection Problem stating Self-Assigned IP and not wanting to connect in Lion OSX.
    Bought my girlfriend the newest Macbook Pro 13" and began experiencing problems with my wifi the moment we got home. Her Macbook would not connect to our home Wi-Fi while my old Macbook Late 2008 running Snow Leopard connected without a problem. Airport would say that it had a Self-Assigned IP address (168.x.x.x). Did not realize it was a Lion problem until after using her Macbook Pro and becoming jealous of the new OSX, I upgraded. Soon after I was unable to go online. Luckily I had my iPad 2 and I began to scoure the net for help. Ran into allot of suggestions but it was not until I tried the following all together was I able to share the good new, from my Macbook. Hope this works:
    First go to Preferences > Network and click on the cog next to the + and - on the sidebar and click Set Service Order
         - Move Wi-Fi to the top and click ok.
         - Set location to Automatic
         - Click Apply
         - Click Advanced
         - Click the "-" on the selected Wi-Fi router you wish to connect to
         - Click Apply
         - Click Lock to Prevent Further Changes
    Go to your Mac's harddrive, (Macintosh)
         - Go to Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration >
         - Delete "com.apple.airport.preferences.plist" file
    Turn off your computer
         - push and hold Option+Command+R+P
         - turn on computer
         - when the grey screen turns on you will hear the OS X "ON" sound (for lack of a proper term) and it will momentarily restart.
         - you will once again hear the "ON" sound, let go of all keys.
         - this resets your PRAM
    Go to Preferences > Network > Advanced > + sign
         - click Choose a Network
         - Select your network and enter password
    Viola!!! I tried this on my Macbook Late 2008 and my girlfriends new Macbook Pro 2010

         No you are clearly mistaken. The Self-Assigned IP address problem exists on many Macbook Pro models, including the current model, which I mentioned as being the original computer with the problem. While my 2008 Macbook is older it was working perfectly on Snow Leopard and didn't suffer issues until switching to Lion. So clearly the problem exists on the operating system and not so much the hardware.
         I called Apple Support  and they had no fix for the problem and told me that this would hopefully be addressed in a subsequent update. It wasn't until I came accross the answer after trying many different methods that I got both of the Macbooks to connect to my router. Otherwise I wouldn't or could not have been surfing the internet for the last 4 months.
    Cheers.

    I have an iPhone 5 and with any pair of earphones that I plug in the sounds comes out of the speakers and not the earphones
    The problem occurred a few days after I had updated to iOS 7.02

    Hey Tahls23!
    I have an article that can help you troubleshoot that issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    No sound through stereo headset
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
