So apparently I've been using a broken 3G for the last 3 years

I waited in line and got my iPhone 3G the first day. Boy did that feel great, to hold some kind of alien tech in my hands.
I always thought something was fishy with my phone though. I live on long island and I would assume the 3G service would be great considering the amount of mobile customers here.
I would frequently drop 3G and end up with slow speeds, but I figured it was had to do with my ATT network. 2 years ago I got a new job and 3G didn't work at all. I had to use edge (not even edge actually .08 Mbps) for daily browsing for the last 2 years thinking it was normal.
So I just tried my buddies 3G at my desk (ATT), works fine. God, so much wasted time and frustration.
I was wondering if Apple could do anything for me. I am a loyal customer, and plan on buying a 4s, but knowing I wasted 3 years with a faulty product is disheartening.

Probably not at this late date. You should know that apple does try to satisfy its customers and encourages them to come in for support if anything they feel is wrong with their device. It was probably your first apple product, and you perhaps didnt realize that about them but they'd rather you see a genius for something "fishy" that turns out ok than not to, and have it be an unsolved problem for years.
With the 4S, don't hesitate to make a genius bar appointment if you are not completely satisfied with your product. I've had them bend over backwards to help me, even when the problem didn't replicate at the store. (They replaced it anyway on my second visit.)

I recently bought a new macbook and installed Acrobate Pro. My settings/preferences did not come over and I do not have the same style options for my signature. It now only allows me three options and the style I have been using for the last year is not there. How do I add additional options and get my preferred signature style back?

Hi Amanda ,
Which version of Acrobat are you using?
Which signature style are you talking about?
You can go ahead and try uninstalling and reinstalling it and see if that works for you .
Use the cleaner tool to uninstall it .Here is the link.

You can refer to the following link to re install it .

I have been using my DEBIT card for over a year but recently I had to update my billing information, since then it will not accept my card. All the information is correct, it's just telling me to visit iTunes support. Can someone help me? Much appreciated

Debit card? Are you sure?
USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances."

Generally when you get the resource in use error logging out or rebooting will take care of it. When a file just absolutely refuses to delete try restarting in Safe Mode (hold the left shift key after the computer restarts) and then empty the trash.

When I use my Apple ID for the last 12 hours I get this response: "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)". How do I get around this? Try two apple ID's. Same thing.

Hi
You need to find the format of the drive by looking at its info, my guess would be you are currently in NTFS (windows only) mac can use any mac os journaled or non journaled, or you can use fat32 which is usable on both pc and mac but is unable to move files over 4GB so no good for large file transfers. You will need to re format at some point but this will delete everything currently on the drive.
Hope this helps

I have 6p from a gift card left in the English store and can't spend it. I want to change to the Irish store as I have an Irish gift card for me to redeem but it won't let me change store. Also I don't want to use a credit card for the last 6p.

I have been using find my iPhone on my iPhone 4s for the past year. I will look at it occasionally to keep track of my 12 year old. All of a sudden I have to log in every time I click on the app. I have always remained logged in in the past.. I upgraded to IOS 8 today thinking that might fix it. It has not.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

I have been having 2 MAJOR issues for the last few months:

I have been having MAJOR issues for the last few months:
1.) My iTunes keeps shutting down on me, after 5-10 minutes of being opened and starting updates, or if I play music. I restart iTunes and it just does it over and over again.
2.) I have homesahring ON on both my desktop PC and my AppleTV 2nd gen, but my AppleTV cannot access the computer. I have restarted and reset both PC and AppleTV over and over, but still no luck.
Any suggestions?

Only that you may wish to resolve issue 1 before looking at #2. The best forum for that would be the iTunes for windows community.

Firefox has been crashing at random times for the last two days

Firefox has been crashing randomly for the last two days. I had to download Malwarebytes yesterday because I picked up Malware Doctor (I think that's the name.) It was soon after I had removed the spyware that Firefox started crashing.

T-codes used for the last year Report

Hello,
I want to find out what t-codes are used by our users and i use ST03N . BUT this report doesn't sum up the last 12 months, instead lists one by separately ( last twelve months). Because our users are too much (approximately 80) its very time consuming to count their t-codes one by one.
Does anyone Know any better way to make this report out ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Santosh,
Use Transaction SLG1.
Hope this solves your query.

I can no longer get my MacBook to recognize the same camera (Sony DCR-SR68) I've been doing this with for the last year. I just upgraded to OSX 10.8.1 - did I make a mistake to upgrade my software ????!!!!

I am trying not lose my mind - and I won't even go into the Paralells issues.
My Grandmother just had a stroke, and I just want to get the video from some of this summer's parties with her.
Same MacBook, Same Sony DCR-SR68 Handycam, Same IMovie
The only difference is the 'new' 'upgrade'd software. The time I could be spending with my family, I am just drowning in all my computer issues
that I never had before this upgrade.
Help !

After plugging in your camcorder, I would run Software update just one more time.
I would also try to see if the app "Image Capture" doesn't see your camcorder. This is found in your applications folder but you can get to it easily by hitting command and space bar to bring up spotlight and then typing "Image Capture".
the current version of iMovie is 9.0.7
you could try creating a new user and seeing if the camera doesn't connect from there.
if it doesn't then you might need to find a friend with a compatible OS until Sony decides to update it's support for OSX.
I looked on their site but it doesn't seem like they've ever supported it with your model.
you might also want to send feedback to apple as to your experience, although their support is limited to their own hardware, so calling Sony might be a better idea...

I just got this damaged ipod and have been trying to install it for the last 4 hrs! the person i got it from made no mention of a code and i can't install it to get in it! getting crabby! :(

i downloaded itunes, tried resetting it but that's not workin for me either! please help if you can! gettin' crabbier by the minute!
my computer claims that it cannot install the device(doesn't recognize it). please help!

Are yo getting any error message?
Without knowing that all I can suggest is:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
