Should I keep the case on or off?

HI all
I am wondering if I should keep the iphone case I have which is a white incase for my 3gs on or off. I mean I have taken it off today just to remove my clear screen protector, I have now noticed dust and some tiny items around the corner of the screen and the chrome part, which I am now trying to clean out. Whats the best way to clean this phone? I am careful with my iphone, never dropped it on the concrete ground. Only might have dropped it in the car a few times and next to my bed. However it is always in a pocket with no keys or coins. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance.

Why would you want to take your IP out of a case if you have it in a case to protect the finish?
Re the clean screen protectors, I've never seen one that can be removed without picking up small pieces of dust. The deal for them is to put it on and leave it on until you want to replace it with a new protector.
Re editing, I think you only have about 15 minutes to edit an entry and then you have to do a "reply" to add information/questions.

Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification?

I have an iphone 4s. Is there any way to keep the flash from going off when you receive a text or other notification? I keep it next to my bed at night and keep thinking there is lightning when something comes thru. LOL

Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn LED Flas for Alerts to Off.

When I bought my D800, lightroom would not read my big files, so I had to transform them into DNG .. should I keep the DNG or the NEF files? Now, I started working only with the NEF, so I don't have this problem anymore -

when I bought my D800, lightroom would not read my big NEF files .. I went crazy…. so I found out I had to transform them into DNG .. should I keep the DNG or the NEF files? Now, I tried again and I am being able to work with the NEF files … don't understand…. anyway … I have to throw away some files … they are to big … should I throw the NEF or the DNGs? (as the DNGs are not edited yet…)

Hard to say why you couldn't open them first time around...possibly low memory?
In any event, as to the question about which to keep. This is a topic that is argued long and hard here and in other forums.
For myself, I use only the NEF files and don't bother with DNG at all. Just can't see any long term advantage to force me to do all that extra work. Others feel that the "universal" format of DNG make it worthwhile.
Either way, it's hard to justify keeping both (though a few people do).
good luck

Should i keep the battery on when it is connected to the AC

hello
i have a question:
my macbook is always vonnected to the ac,, i don't move it around"seldom"
so i'm owndering,,will this affect my battery,,
should i keep the battery on when it is connected to the AC?
or should i remove it?
thanks in advance

Hi multiple 1,
Modern battery technology now prevent battery becoming overcharged or create memory effect, so like First Magus said, it is ok to leave the battery in your macbook all the time.
But apple also recommend user to use their battery once a while or calibrate to refresh the battery cell.
Good Luck.

Should I keep the iPad or throw out my annoying tablet

First when I got hrp my iPad 3 I was blown away with the retina display ans the design on the other hand the Samsung tablet Desighn was good and I don't need my fingers to touch the screen but is not 100% reyclable it's actually 20%. And if I do throw it out I'm just wasting money. Please help

I have no idea what you are actually asking!
Should I keep the iPad or throw out my annoying tablet
By "tablet", do you mean the Samsung, or are you now referring to the iPad as a tablet?
but is not 100% reyclable it's actually 20% - and your point is?
if I do throw it out I'm just wasting money - if you throw out something that works, simply because it's less recyclable then something else, then yes, you are wasting your money - and negating the value of re-cycling!
I'm not sure what "help" you need, nor what advice you expect anyone here to give, but if you want to chuck out either an iPad, or a Samsung tablet, send it to me!

Should I keep the headphones plugged in at all times

I have a classic 160GB iPod, which is really cool. I have since I brought it kept the headphones connected to avoid damage to the amplifier chip ..... do I need to be concerned. I have a Bose Sound dock and still keep the headphones connected when I dock ... again do I need to ?
Finally I have just brought a Digital radio adapter which uses the docking connector but it has a headphone output which also acts as an aerial for the digital radio. So the question is do I need to use both headphone sockets or should I take care to avoid damaging the output amplifiers by not having headphone output impedance .....
Any help appreciated from Apple engineering support to re-assure me

Huh!?? What are you talking about?

No, you can safely unplug them. Besides, in my opinion, leaving headphones plugged in all the time risks physical damage to the headphone jack in the iPod from bumps and what not. Also I have heard several cases of people accidentally breaking off the headphone plug inside the headphone jack.

Using Macbook as a HTPC, should I keep the battery in it?

So today, I had a quick brown out from the wind. Since the macbook I use connected to my TV as a HTPC doesn't have a battery, it instantly turned off.
I took the battery our cause it got real real fat. There is known issue with these batteries that for some reason, they start to inflate so to speak, causing the battery to bevel and it looks like it has a tumor growing inside the case.
I tossed the battery out cause it is a past its cycle anyway but I head that some of the time, this happens to batteries when they are plugged in to the power adapter all the time, which this was.
Since I wont use the battery much, I can get a cheap generic battery so in the case of another power brown out, at least it wont kill the laptop, sort of a UPS backup.
So what do you all think? Should I buy the new battery and not worry about the fat battery syndrome? Or throw in a few extra bucks and get a real UPS system just for the macbook?
Thanks!

One problem with running your MacBook without a battery is your MacBook will reduce the processor speed while it is operated with the battery out of it. See Mac Support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2332 and http://www.gearlog.com/2008/11/applenotebooks_take_hugeperf.php
You can get a battery for less than $35 on eBay http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?LHBIN=1&_trkparms=65%253A12%257C66%253A2%257C39%253A1%257C72%253A4044&rt=nc&_nkw=m acbookbatterywhite&_dmpt=Laptop_Batteries&_sticky=1&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_sop=15&sc=1

Yes, keep this info, along with the bill that has the date and place of purchase.

Mavericks is installed and runs well, but how long should I keep the small windows "Optimizing Your Mac" ? It has been now one month!!!

Small window "Optimizing your Mac" (see below) has been on my Desktop for over a month now.
How long should I keep it (... without "impacting the performance or the battery life")?

Closing it when it first appeared wouldn't have stopped the 'optimization' so you could have closed it any time and can do so now - in any case optimization will have long since completed.

Why Should I Keep The X-FI XtremeMusic With The Heatsi

That's my question, now if there has been any bug fixes or changes for the better, then I will keep it. I have a nForce4 board running SLI, and from what I read in the past these cards had issues with the nForce4 chi
ps.
But from what I also read that Creative said somewhere in a letter, the only reason for this revision, was to keep up with the demand of these cards, to meet that market need, supply, nothing else.
In doing so, this process created a chip that was hotter and needed a heatsink, so from what I see here there is no performance increase to justify this, it is just a lack of quality.
Because anyone that has been in this industry knows, if you aren't improving quality and performance, then because of the increase in heat, due to this performance, and the need for the heatsink, like in the case of a video card, well if there is no measurable performance gain as in this case, then you are simply going backwards in quality and technology.
I for one will be returning this card, unless the community can tell me 00% for certainty, that changes where made for the better, and it's not just a revision for increasing volume, which I believe it is.
ALOHA
P.S. Why all this? Well I can't use my floppy now, no space with the last PCI slot, which is the only one I can use, YES POOR MOTHERBOARD DEISGN TOO. The heatsink gets in the way of the floppy cable.
http://www.abit-usa.com/images/products/kn8-sli_lg.jpg
And now to much more added heat, which I don't need in a tight space already.Message Edited by DasFox on 04-6-2006 :34 AMMessage Edited by DasFox on 04-6-2006 :35 AM

Well it is available on the older cards too, but then you would have to buy one old card, and then RMA it back to CL(+shipping), then CL would flash the bios on youre card, and after some weeks you would get the card back flashed. But if youre card works good now, you wont see any improvement in performance between the one you got now, and an old one. Buy a smaller rounded cable for the disk device. You are worrying too much about the heatsink, but if you want, you and me could trade cards. I want the one with the heatsink...

Should I keep the Otterbox Defender screen protector for iPhone 4S

Hello everyone! I have a quick question. I own a Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 4S and was thinking about removing the built in screen protector and replacing it with a Invisible Sheild from Zagg. Do you guys think I should do this? Also do you think a full body Zagg can protect my iPhone without a case? Let me know your thoughts and opinions! Thank you!

I originally used the Otterbox Defender with my 4S, and I immediately removed the built-in screen protector. I didn't like the way it felt when using the touch screen. Instead, I applied a screen protector directly to the screen. (I can't remember the brand since it's been almost two years.) I didn't care about dust protection. I just cared about impact protection.
After a few months, I ditched the Defender because it was too bulky. I've used an Incipio case since then and my phone still looks like new.

My nano is fully charged and when I use the earphones it comes with, the nano stops playing my music after a few seconds and turns off. But when I use another earphone, it's okay and stays on. How do I keep the nano from turning off after a few seconds?

Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music? It's fully charged and brand new.

I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
My computer meets the requirements.
All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
The problem still exists. Please help.

Debating should I keep the Iphone?

I want to like it..
I cannot sync using bluetooth with my laptop or my palm pda.
I think if it slips out of your hand, and it is very slippery it's a goner.
It has a lot of nice features but is missing loads of stuff too.
I can read but not send a an email to my cox.net account which is a pop3 service?
no pics in messaging, no video, the edge internet is very slow...
It does look kool, great screen, pictures, ipod, all good, but for the money is it worth it?
I have to make a decision if I want to keep it or not, then get burned on the return charge of $60
What else is out there?
I have a sony ericson, I810 which is pretty darn good, just not sure if the cost of the iphone and what it offers will do it..
what do you people think?

well, only that's a question you can decide. However, a few things to keep in mind. Apple will, most likely within the next couple of months come out with some extras. Not sure they will be what everyone wants, but it will probably be something. You're right about a few things. No syncing via BT and it missing some other stuff like no "true" multimedia messaging. However, PC World did an iPhone stress test and really beat the crap out of it and withstood being dropped numerous times onto a concrete floor and only got a little scufffed but it kept working. You should definitely be able to send email with your POP service. Have you tried adding port 25 or port 587 to your outgoing mail server name? Apple recommeds and suggests that if you can't send mail from your POP3 service. I would say to stick with the iPhone. Things can only get better, not worse.

Should I keep the type 1 driver?

I am an intern at FedEx, My project is to incorporate one of their databases on Microsoft Access with one of the Intranet website. The website should allow for a client to update the database, search for inquires, display recent inquires, ect... I used the sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver to do this. I have it working fine except that I have not implemented it on the network yet. However the purpose of the project is to update the database using different platforms and machines. Obviously once it is on the network, only a windows box will be able to update it, plus that database is limited to the functionality of the Microsoft driver. I guess my question is, will it be worth my time and effort to switch to a pure java driver or maybe even a type 3 without knowing much about the type 3 or 4 drivers. This means I would have to switch databases also. The current database is around 500 inquires. I am a CS major with an emphasis in java, I have never written any programs using JDBC before this one. It took me around a week to write this after reading up on JDBC. If so, any suggestions on what database and driver to switch to. If not, is their any thing that I should be aware of before putting it on the network? Any help will be much appreciated.

As of right now it only updates the database. I have not implemented the requests yet to make it three tiered. FedEx will pay for a more capable JDBC driver. I guess I don't like the bridge driver because when running the servlet off the network, you have to update the ODBC driver manager with your database. I felt the need for change because I was not aware that I could make it platform independent simply using the browser. I am currently using tomcat 5.0 to run the servlet. I think my design is pretty good. If you could please expand on having every browser connect to a servlet that would intercede with the database. Here is my design:
