Some General iPhone 4 questions

We just bought my wife a used iPhone 4 and (a little late now) we have some questions.
Generally the questions revolve around the issues the iPhone 4 had when they were first released - something about the antennae location. How was that resolved? and if so how?
Is there a way to determine when an iPhone was manufactured or how old it is?
I see in the forum 'refined' lineup there are iPhone 4 forums for both GSM and CDMA - where is that shown on the iPhone?
The primary issue we are having is with signal strength. Since it's 'hers' I only hear about it so don't get much chance to see for myself.
Thank you for any help

The antennae issue was blown out of all proportion. Many phones have similar issues.
Most do not have the issue.
I have never experienced this problem, nor has anyone that I personally know.
Funny what the internet can do. (maybe not so funny)
Thanks for the reply and 'vote of confidence'

Some general portal caching questions

Hi experts,
I have some general questions regarding caching functions in portal.
1. In System administration->Navigation I can activate navigation cache. By default there are 3 connectors: Collaboration Connector, ROLES and gpn.
I guess Collaboration Connector caches Collaboration Content and Roles caches the content of the Role-based navigation? Is that correct? What is gpn-connector?
2. This cache does only cache the navigation structures? Not the iviews and the content?
3. For some iViews and pages I can activate caching in PCD with certain cache levels. That caching is not related to navigation caching?
4. I can't activate caching for web dynpro Java iviews and web dynpro java proxy pages. Is that corect? If not how can I achieve that. Those settings are deactivated for me, so I can't activate them.
5. In Visual Admin I can activate navigation cache under com.sap.portal.prt.sapj2ee. Is this option related to the setting I can set under system administration->navigation in portal? Because I avtivated the option in portal but in VA it still showed it as not activated.
I crawled some documentation but couldn't find exact information.
Thanks and regards
Manuel

Hi,
1. GPN is Guided Procedures Navigation connector
2. Yes only Navigation nodes are cached (TopLevel and Detailed Navigation nodes)
3. Here it is PCD Caching, which has nothing to do with Navigation caching
4. I never tried this, but It looks like what you say is true.
5. What you see in VA is old caching mechanism. So this is obsolete and can be ignored.
So you should only use the options from system administration->navigation
Changes in the Navigation Cache

Some General iPhone Questions

As I consider buying an iPhone, I have a few general questions.
1. What are some possible improvements that can be done to the iPhone by Apple via software updates? When do you think we will see these updates?
2. What are some of the possible improvements that can only come from purchasing a second generation iPhone?
3. I want to make this my ONLY phone and ditch a land line for the first time. Is the clarity any better than your average cell phone?
4. I'm not hard of hearing, but some reports have said that the volume is low (for phone conversations) and difficult to hear when used as a traditional phone without headphones. Are there settings on the phone to raise the volume? Can this be a software update from Apple if this is indeed a problem?
5. This would be my first time switching carriers. If I want to keep my current number (from Verizon) would I cancel my service there first or would registering the iPhone via iTunes do that for me?
Thanks,
Steve

As I consider buying an iPhone, I have a few general
questions.
1. What are some possible improvements that can be
done to the iPhone by Apple via software updates?
When do you think we will see these updates?
Since there have not yet been any updates, no one knows for sure. But any improvements in the apps and widgets would definitely be one possibility; also firmware upgrades
2. What are some of the possible improvements that
can only come from purchasing a second generation
iPhone?
Everything can be improved on an updated phone, particularly implementation of 3G.
3. I want to make this my ONLY phone and ditch a land
line for the first time. Is the clarity any better
than your average cell phone?
This is very subjective! I find it to be no worse nor no better then most phones I have owned.
4. \Are there settings on the
phone to raise the volume?
Yes
Can this be a software
update from Apple if this is indeed a problem?
Unknown, but should be possible.
5. This would be my first time switching carriers.
If I want to keep my current number (from Verizon)
would I cancel my service there first or would
registering the iPhone via iTunes do that for me?
If you cancel service with Verizon first - you will LOSE that number!
I do not believe registering the old number with AT&T will automatically cancel your service although AT&T MAY do this.
It would be best to talk to AT&T as to the proper method prior to or at time of purchase.

Some General AIR Preferences Questions

Inside an installed AIR help, I see these two preferences tabs. I'm not sure what some of the items inside do:
Preferences | General
I know what browse sequences are in a CHM help file. Do they behave the same way? I'm not sure how they're used in the Air help. Can someone give an example?
Preferences | Comment
Receive comments from shared folder - Not sure...? What's the shared folder referring to. The folder location above?
Also, Delete All comments doesn't seem to work. I tested this and they get deleted but come right back down.
Also, is there a way for a user to turn off comments entirely or at least delete them so they don't come down again?
Thanks in advance guys!

I believe but haven't tested the Receive option is to tell the AIR help to get any new comments from the shared location automatically.
The Delete All is to delete the users own comments from their local store. Once that user has hit Send/Receive the comments are sent to the central location as well. They can Delete their local comments but not the central ones. I believe the moderator can delete those but while they are there, they will come back.

Just Some General Info. Questions

I was just wondering how many songs, videos, podcasts, movies etc. are in the iTunes store worldwide. The US iTunes page says 3.5 million but thats only US.
By the way, I'm posting in the mac section because I own a mac. (for those of you who wondered...)
Michael

Okay, 512MB RAM, is your issue, you need at least 1GB to run OSX with any resemblance of snappiness. Using 80% of your drive is a fair bit, but not bad. Its good to have 10% of your drive free at any given time (the system will at times use about that much for virtual memory, although maybe more in your case since you have so little RAM). You might want to start looking through your files and see what you do an don't need, since you can fill up a few GBs fast in some situations (such as installing new programs, etc.)

General Airport Extreme questions

I have some general questions regarding the dual band technology and how it relates to my specific setup. A bit of background:
I have 20Mbps cable internet and I am running the new Airport Extreme on a pc running XP to broadcast my wireless signal. I have an iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPad. I also have an Airport Express that I use in bridge mode so that I can connect my PS3 in a wired fashion.
My questions:
-How do wireless networks work when you have both "g" and "n" devices? (which I do)
Does the router send out simultaneously a 2.4 and 5.0 signal for each capable device to pick up? Do the g devices pick up the 2.4 signal while the n devices pick up the 5.0? Or do all devices pick up the 2.4 signal since there are non "n" rated devices on the network? I have read many conflicting ideas on this.
- I have spoken with multiple Apple customer service people and have gotten differing advice on how to improve my devices' connectivity to the network as I have been experiencing unacceptable levels of interference on all devices.
One rep reccomended that in the Airport Utilities, under wireless options that I check the 5GHz box to setup a seperate 5GHZ network for the n devices. Another rep dismissed this idea.
Does creating this new 5.0 network keep the network signal from being bumped down to "g" speeds when "g" rated devices are connected?
How am I to better off setting my networks up so that my n devices as well as my g devices get the best performance and connectivity?
-I use an Airport Express in bridge mode with my PS3 and it seems to be helping my connections speeds. When I was connected wirelessly, the speeds would either be non-existent or unacceptable. I know the PS3 has a "g" antenna. I have the airport express connected to the 5.0ghz wireless network in Airport Utilities. Am I actally now connecting to the 5.0ghz signal and converting to the PS3 at higher bandwidth then I would be otherwise if I was connected to the 2.4ghz wireless signal?
I appologize for the longwinded post.
Any insight I will be most appreciated as I am banging my head against the wall here.

The default setup for the AirPort Extreme provides a dual band wireless network with a Radio Mode that looks like this:
802.11a/n --- 802.11n/g/b
The 5 GHz band is on the left and the 2.4 GHz is on the right of the --- dashes
Also as a default, the same wireless network name is used for both bands. The theory here is that any device will automatically connect to the best signal quality. This works great for older "g" devices because they can only connect to the 2.4 GHz band, so you know where they will be at all times. You never need to be concerned about a "g" device slowing down a faster "n" device on the 5 GHz band because the "g" device cannot even connect to the 5 GHz band.
But note that newer "n" devices can connect to either the 5 GHz band or the 2.4 GHz band. So, it's possible that you may have a "n" device and a "g" device on the 2.4 GHz band and the "n" connection will slow a bit if the "g" device is really active.
It gets a bit more complicated if you have a new iPhone, which can connect at "n" speeds, but only to the 2.4 GHz band. The new iPad can connect to either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
Most users are better off if they leave the settings as recommended on the AirPort Extreme. That's because each device will connect to the band with the best available signal quality. Isn't that what you really want?
If you will concentrate on signal quality, which is a combination of signal strength and low noise, you'll be fine.
Most problems arise when users think that they want to connect to the 5 GHz band because the speeds can be faster there. So, they assign a separate name to the 5 GHz network and then "point" their computer at that band. The potential issue with doing this is that 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals.
So, if the computer is several rooms away and you have "forced" it to connect to 5 GHz, you are likely telling it to connect to a signal that is both +weaker and slower+ than the 2.4 GHz signal at that location. The signal always slows down as it moves further from the router or encounters obstructions.
As I said, most users will do well to use the default settings and let each device find the best connection automatically. With a mix of a number of devices, you'll never be able to find the single "perfect" setting. With wireless, there are always compromises. No way to avoid that, I'm afraid.

HT201272 I have recently picked up an Apple TV. When I go to the movies tab, there are less movies available there than there are in my i-Tunes account. I've done some looking around at questions from others, but haven't found an answer that works for me.

I have recently picked up an Apple TV. When I go to the movies tab, there less movies available there than what is available in my i-Tunes library. I have 38 movies showing in my library but only 23 are showing in the Movies tab on the Apple TV. After researching this a little, there are only 23 movies showing under Purchased in the Quicklinks of my i-Tunes account. The majority of my collection are digital copy downloads that came from DVD purchases. Some of the missing movies were added in the past couple of months, the rest are a year-or-so old. I have done some looking around at questions from others, but I have not found an answer that will fix my situation. How do I update my library to get ALL of my movies to reflect that they were "Purchased"(as it says they were in their Properties)?

The pros and cons of to CC or not to CC have been done to death
Its a fact the CC model will work for some, especially newbies and small businesses.
The risks associated with the CC model have been well documented.
For long term users of CS perpetuals its generally a large hike up in cost compared to the upgrade system.
Then there are the....... Adobe can rot it hell...... group who will never subscribe
To each their own, you do the math to suit your cashflow whatever that is and then make an informed decision
To those on the CC model, I'd like to offer some practical advice.........do not allow automatic updates.........make regular backups............develop an exit strategy of alternatives for when you can no longer afford the subscription costs............never ever assume that the Adobe update is bug free
Enjoy your cloud
Col
Thank you for that post, and the advice. I just happen to be one of those who it does work for. I've been around long enough to know that CC isn't going to work for everyone(the large publishing/radio/web company I work for isn't upgrading to CC because of the costs involved). But it does for me as I potentially venture out into the full-time freelancing world and away from the more structured big office environment. I can't make decisions based on what is best for anyone else, or what will hurt or help Adobe. Just what affects me, and that's all.

Why do some graphics only have question marks on my iPad?

Why do some graphics only have question marks on my iPad?

On web pages and in the ap store. In place of the graphic there's a little box with a question mark in it.
I can't even connect to a web page right now. I've got three bars on the wifi icon but safari just keeps trying until it says it can't connect to the server. Same with the ap store, I've been trying all afternoon to download a new ap with no success. It came right through on my iphone on the same wifi network. Had the same problem on my home network. I'm new to apple and I've only had the iphone and the ipad for a little over a week, but all this seems to have started after the most recent software update.
Is this all related?

Try signing out, then back in on your phone: Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in. If that doesn't work, reset your password here: https://iforgot.apple.com.

I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones

I had an iPhone 4 and switched to LG G2 android. I am unable to receive texts on my new LG G2 when sent from some other iPhones. I've done everything Sprint and Apple have suggested - turned off imessaging, made sure the contact info on the other iPhones is plain mobile numbers, deactivated my iCloud account. Nothing is working. Anybody have any suggestions?

I am facing problem zooming and in slide as i think there is some general setting got changed help to rectify.

i am facing problem zooming and in slide as i think there is some general setting got changed help to rectify.

If the screen appears zoomed in then try double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers (with zoom 'on' you need to use 3 fingers to drag around the screen), and then go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn Zoom 'off', and possibly also change what Triple-Click Home is set to.

Macbook pro starts up but i see picture of some files and a question mark

So I was on my laptop today and it just outta nowhere froze , the song i was listening stopped and i couldn't change the page, i could move the trackpad but nothing else.
so i clicked on the off button and turned it off.
then i tried to turn it on again but while loading it just stayed blank and this picture of some files and a question mark on them appeared, i have no idea what's going on.
I turned it off again and turned it back on and the little apple appeared and it was loading but then a sign appeared like one of prohibited (the one that's a circle and has a slash across it) and idk what to do! i'm so frustrated all my school files are there and idk why this happened in the first place.
i turned it off and just put it to charge.
lately i've been using it a lot and i had a few things on when it froze , so im just gonna leave it off for a while but what can i do?
how do u solve this? has anyone had this happened to their macbook pro already? i bought it just last year idk why this is happening.

The folder and question mark means it cannot find a valid OSX Boot Volume, you need to Boot from your original install DVD (hold c at start) and then run Disc Utility from the top menu bar and run both 'Repair Disc' and 'Repair Permissions'. If it still doesn't boot from the internal hard drive then you need to boot from that install DVD again and do an archive (re)install of the operating system. (Your User data will be saved that way)

Who could you give me some general idea

hi all
who could you give me some general idea about that
developping a web service that may be used for monitoring the performance of the Windows PC on which it runs. The web service will return key performance metrics, such as peak performance,maximum memory, current load, and current available memory. A secondary aim will be to develop a portlet that will provide an interface to the service.
Tomcat or J2EE web server, JSR-168 compliant portlets, and Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) should be metioned!
thanks

First of all, if you want to create a chess board, create a panel with a grid layout. The grid layout will carry the number of rows and columns that you need.
Second, you will have to set the color of each grid alternatively to black and white.
After you have done this, your chess bord is ready.
Now...coming to the mouse events:
You will have to implement a MouseListener and implelemnt the method mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) attached to the container.
So when you use the methods getX() and getY() based on the MouseEvent e...
e.getX(); //Returns the horizontal x co-ordinate
e.getY();// Returns the horizontal y co-ordinateHope this helps.

Finger sensor not working and some time iphone 6 screen also hang/pause for few seconds

In my iphone6 finger sensor not working and some time iphone 6 screen also hang/pause for few seconds.

Try cleaning the sensor, remove all fingerprints from the settings, and the start over in recognizing prints. There are a number of things that make prints hard to read, sweat, lotion, dirty hands, etc.
