Should I have a shell for the iPhone 5?

should I have a shell for my new iPhone 5 ?

Entirely a personal decision (and I assume you mean a case). I know from my own history that I am tough on cellular phones - mostly scratches, but the occassional drop as well - since I tend to keep my phone in a jacket or pants pocket. So, I bought a case. I would prefer to use the iPhone without a case, but not willing to take the chance. You may be different.

  • Apple listen up!! Itunes should include a diagnostic program for the Iphone

    Hey Apple, with all the problems that are being reported on here with the Iphone
    wouldn't it be prudent to include a diagnostic program in Itunes for the Iphone?
    A program that could check for missing or corrupted files. Maybe one that could bring it back from a crash to restore it. Also scan the backup OS for missing or corrupted files. Can everyone else second this motion?

    Lgend45,
    The restore replaces corrupted files. In addition the iPhone does its own checks during power on, updates, and restores. For example if you are prompted to restore during an update it is because a file that is not being changed by the update is not correct.
    However, a restore can not fix issues caused by some unauthorized software.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • None of the stores seem to have a spare for the iphone USB to Lightining converter cable, why is that????

    The charger for my iphone5 is lost and I am trying to find a replacement. None of the stores have a stock of the original apple USB to lightning converter cables, most of them dont have it at all or have a third party cable from Gecko or some other brand. Cant see why they are not stocking original apple products despite them being premium resellers of Apple. Is apple even aware of all of this.

    We're users here Vivek, not Apple.  Asking your question here is pointless.  We don't speak for Apple and would have no more idea than you do as to why these are out of stock.
    Do you have a technical support issue?

  • Apple should make alternate "ringtone sounds" for the iPhone...

    I'm not really a fan of having actual songs as ringtones, I prefer ringers or other sounds like the ones that came with the phone. Is it a possibility that apple might make some more of these and put them in iTunes?

    you can make your own ringtones by using a free app called MakeiPhoneRingtone. take any sound or audio sample you want & save it as an AAC. then drag it onto the app's icon. when you sync your iphone to iTunes & it should be there under the 'ringtones' tab.
    if you don't have a program that can save an AAC, try exporting it in quicktime pro as an AIFF. then import it into iTunes & convert it to AAC. drag it to your desktop & then onto the app's icon (it doesn't seem to want to drag & drop directly from iTunes).
    record your own "Wife calling" or "wake up for your early meeting" ringtones & alarms. audio samples from your favorite shows like The Simpsons or Futurama make good ringtones too.

  • How long do i have to wait for the iPhone dev license?

    Hello all..
    I am waiting now for serveral weeks (6!) for my developer licence... but nothing.. no email, no response (just the autogenerated one) from apple (i wrote 2 mails yet..)
    i would just like to know how long did you wait everybody? A friend of mine (and colleague) has also send the request weeks ago now.. the same: no response.. is it maybe for firms easier to get it?
    i bought a macbook air and an iPhone - just do develop.. and i really have to say that i am disappointed.
    i mean: we have really good ideas (at least, we think so) and are doing mobile apps also as our diploma thesis for university.. but we cant test the software without this sh.. licence.
    apple, go on that way and you will lose many creative minds. we all know that your marketing is special, but this is just.. stupid. android is waiting, the opened symbian is waiting.. so, what are you doing?
    for everybody who is in the same situation, read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WaitingforGodot

  • Anyone have a fix for the iPhone 4s "Saving Photo" hang/rendering/error?

    Just got a new iPhone 4s and having issues with the camera/photos.
    First, I restored the phone from a recent backup of my iPhone 4. All seemed fine, but somewhere along the line I lost the ability to send photos via email or mms - camera app just hangs on "SAVING PHOTO", then the photo appears in the camera roll as a black box, but it CAN be seen in the little preview wiindow on the left side of the camera app control bar. Other photos look half blurry as in partially rendered. iPhoto will not recognize any of these photos either. I am backing up to iCloud but do NOT have Photo Stream enabled.
    A restore to factory settings and the camera + send works ok, but then when I restore from my backup problems come back which leads me to believe its a configuration issue maybe due to permissioning.
    Finally, I did a restore and just resynced the apps and reconfigured all the other settings. The phone now takes photos and I can send them, but iPhoto won't recognize them. Additionally, if I take a photo then delete it, it will still show in the preview window on the control bar of the camera, but its not in the camera roll. I still get some half rendered images. Oddly, this only seems to occur when I'm attached to wifi - as if its trying to sync with the cloud or itunes, but I have that disabled.
    Anyone run into these issues and hopefuly have a resolution?
    Thanks

    I'm having the same issue, except mine only came up once I turned Photo Stream on.  However, with Photo Stream on, I can view the photos fine on my iPad.  They are all just blacked out or blurry on my iPhone.  This means that I can take photos with my iPhone but then cannot view them until I get home and sync to the iPad via Photo Stream.
    Also, I dont' know if it's linked, but I cannot access the included Wallpapers in Settings.  It just brings up a blank page.  I'm planning on going in to the local Apple Store, but was hoping someone might have figured out what was happening with this issue.

  • Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Do cases made for iPhone 5 also work with iPhone 5s?
    While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.

  • How are the keyboard cases for the iPhone 4?

    I've been looking around, and it appalls me that they have physical keyboards for the iPhone 4. After looking into it more, I now have a bit of Droid envy. -_-
    Before purchasing, I want to see if I can get first hand reviews on it... I found one cheap, on eBay, http://cgi.ebay.com/130490507671, but before I spring on it, I'd like to know more about them. Any help would be appreciated.

    There is no YouTube app included with iOS anymore.
    You can play most YouTube videos via mobile Safari.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The apps you have purchased for your mobile device will not work on a computer. You will need to download the appropriate versions on your Mac from the Mac apps store.

    iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
    Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
    (Here's that part I'm bolding for you to reference): Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .
    Exactly.  It keeps a collection of the most recent 1000 photos in your Photostream Album on your iOS device.  That's the limit of the displayed images on an iOS device.  Not the upper limit of storage.  It's like the call history.  You can have more than 100 calls, but only the most recent 100 calls show on the device. You can still get your entire call history from your wireless carrier.  And you can still download all of your Photostream photos from Photostream using iCloud Control panel on a PC, or the iCloud option in System Preferences on a Mac.

    My Photo Stream upload limits
    The My Photo Stream limits below are established based on anticipated upload patterns. Currently, My Photo Stream upload limits are as follows:
    Uploads to My Photo Stream per hour: 1000 photos
    Uploads to My Photo Stream per day: 10,000 photos
    Uploads to My Photo Stream per month: 25,000 photos
    If you exceed one of these limits, your uploads to My Photo Stream will be paused temporarily and you may see a notification message on your device. Your uploads will resume automatically after you no longer exceed one of the limits, such as in the following hour or on the following day.
    You can upload 10,000 photos in a single DAY.

  • How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

    how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone?  If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

    You have a password, so good move on your part.  Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs.  Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
    Ringing occurs at the carrier.  Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings.  If you have an iCloud backup also a good move.  Re-read my question in the first paragraph.
