Steve Jobs Probably Uses A Blackberry

I have had it with Iphones! My 1st generation Iphone was great for the first year until it conveniently developed dead screen spots at month 14. The "Genious Bar" told me that because I was out of warranty I would have to pay $199 for a refurbished first Gen or the same price for a new one. Like a Lemming I took the bait and purchased a new 3G Iphone 1 week ago. It has worked fairly well except my phone doesnt get 3 G reception at work in Hoboken, NJ 1 mile from Manhattan, NYC New York! I downloaded the new 2.1 software last nite and the phone seemed to work very well. Many of the issues I was having with slow texting and spotty reception seems to have been fixed. 1 day later and my phone now says "no service" in my apartment 1 minute and 5 bars the next. The 3G symbol only works if I go into settings and turn it off and back on. This lasts about 5 minutes before either Edge or no service takes over. I am so frustrated with this phone. I am paying $80/month for what seems like an experimental Apple project. Does anyone in the NYC Metro area have these same issues on September 13, 14 2008 or am I the only lucky one. I would love to love this phone but it is so unreliable. I have reset it and done hard reboots but nothing helps. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this phone to be consistent with the 3G connection? Thanks

well I called AT&T about my issue had no service for the past 3 days so got ****** off... They said no outage in my area and tried some troubleshooting steps... so she transferred me to Apple so talked to the guy at Apple who couldn't find out whats going out... I even mentioned that I noticed on the Apple Forums several people having the same problem but they are in New York he says thats cause they are being affected by the Storm I am in Nevada so I shouldn't be having the problem. Well came to the conclusion that the problem is not with the phone as both me and my wife's iPhone are having the problem and then took out the SIM Card from my iPhone and put it in my Blackberry and same problem.... So Apple guy had a three-way call with me, him, at&t and now at&t suddenly shows a outage in my area but says only started today but I haven't had service since Friday so 3 days... While on the phone with AT&T/Apple phone suddenly went from "No Service" to full bars and 3G symbol but when attempt to place a call just get silence and then 10-20 seconds later call failed. If someone tries to call me they go immediately to voicemail... Anyway at the end of the call Apple guy wasn't able to help me and the AT&T lady wasn't able to help me or transfer me to Technical Support cause I guess Technical Support is closed on the weekends... First cell provider I have ever had that didn't have 24/7 support...
My Phone started working at about

Video cables Steve Jobs used??

What kind of video cables did steve job used when showing the iPhone on big screen, showing the entire iPhone screen ?

We have no clue. The cables were probably standard cables like the AV component cable, or the composite cable. The difference is that steve was using special iPhones which allowed him to use video out capabilities across all screens. This is not something that can be done with a normal iPhone.

Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I would like to send to Apple for use in his honor. I prefer Color

I would like to send Apple a Color Picture of Steve Jobs that I found on Google. it's the same picture Steve Jobs Biography that
Walter Isaacson wrote. except it's in color. What I did was use my Drawing Pad Program to bring in the picture and then I brought in a splash I croped with Steve Jobs 1955-2011 and saved it. I want you all at Apple to have a copy to use for his memormial eash year. And Thank you Tim Cook and everyone at Apple for honoring Steve's values in keeping Apple products the great products that they are and will remain. Siri is such a riot. I have so much with her. I was able to use Best Buy's Trade-in Program and I traded my iPad 2 in for the new iPad 3rd Generation. I am one that needs Siri to help me spell some words when I get brain lock. lol. . She is also fun to play with. I asked her to tell me a joke, she came back with, " Two iPhones walk in a bar, I forget the rest. LOL. you all have an ad with this joke. I haven't asked her any questions on sports yet. I like figure skating in the winter olympics beacause it's so graceful.
Very Sincerely,
Janet Woodville

Hi, What's the font used in Steve Job's biography? Not the titles or the sub-titles with italics, the paragraphs. I love this font and i want to know it's name. Please help and thanks!

I would suggest you contact the publisher.

A major black eye for Apple and Steve Jobs - an update on activation issues

I am at 30 hours and still waiting for activation!
I have spent over 7 hours on the phone between yesterday and today trying to get my phone activated. I have been talking to AT&T and Apple and I have wasted my day on hold. No one seems to know what the issue is and everyone keeps telling my they are sorry. I am a current AT&T customer and they deactivated my old phone immediately.
I was on the phone with Apple earlier today for over an hour and the rep had to work with AT&T and still could not correct my activation. She "promised" to call back before 7pm PDT to see if my issue was resolved and I should have known better since of course no call was received. I really was not expecting the call but it should never have been offered.
Throughout my numerous calls I was informed that this was becoming a major issue for AT&T and Apple as the day was progressing and that they had numerous people working on the problem.
Where has Apple and AT&t been in all this? Steve Jobs has been promoting the heck out of his product and now he is no where to be found. No statements addressing the issues on either of their web sites. During my last conversation with AT&T, the rep informed me that at 10:36 CDT she received an update from Apple saying that they are trying to resolve the issues and that it may take 24-48 more hours to resolve. The AT&T rep also informed me that they it AT&T was informed by Apple that the issues with activation are coming from the Apple side.
I know that this is a new product and glitches will happen. But Apple created the hype and they should have been prepared.
In the meantime, I will be charged an activation fee even though I cannot activate and I have wasted my weekend with Apple.
I have a feeling this will become a bigger story on Monday when more stories get out to the press and Mr. Jobs returns from celebrating his "succesful" launch. This is a very frustrating experience and this will probably be my last Apple purchase (I own numerous Apple items).
Good luck to everyone else.
I h

Sorry to hear about all your issues. I am about in the same boat. But, I think mines kinda worse..
Got my phone last night, got the typical Your activation requires additional time. Spoke with an AT&T rep about 4pm this afternoon. He said he would push the activation and give it up to 2 hours more.. Great! 5 hours later and nothing. So I call the 877 number, option 3 to check activation status.... Your phone is activated and you should be able to use all features.. WHAT?! I look at my phone.. I still have a globe telling me to activate iphone, connect to iTunes.. Im 45 mins on hold waiting for a rep again and im more mad then it would have been if it said it was still processing! I understand glitches, and I expected a few issues, but nothing like this..
And as i am typing i just got a customer service agent...
They've done everything they can and i need to wait, since it hasn't been 24 hours yet.. ok, now *** is that?! Im just laughing at how absurd that call was. The customer service rep didn't even understand that i was still at the activate screen, she was asking if i had a dial tone? and if i could get into mail or ipod at the bottom.. oh my.. I really hope I dont have to call AT&T support again for my life with this phone, cause its not starting out good..
Best to all.. lets hope this gets resolved soon!!

Why is my iPhone camera not as good as the one showed off by Steve Jobs?

In the WWDC 2010, Apple's CEO Steve Jobs showed off the iPhone 4's 5MP camera. But mine is not that great, I get a lot of camera noise and the digital zoom *****, the video capture has a lot of noise too. What's up? Is my iPhone messed up Or are all iPhone 4 cameras like this?

You are probably trying to take pictures outside of the lighting conditions that are optimal for the phone. Camera noise is almost always a sign of insufficient light.
And digital zoom is a hoax on the inexperienced photographer. All it does is use less of the sensor, so it is the same effect as cropping the photo on your computer after taking it. This is true of any digital camera, not just the iPhone's.

OPEN LETTER TO STEVE JOBS

I'm not a developper, I'm not an English speaking guy (so sorry for my english) and this is an off topic message but I need to say something....
I have just read abut Steve Job's resignation and I think Apple would never be the same without him. I've read a lot of about Steve and I know he was involved in every little step of every apple product (from the initial design to the final product)
Did you know, for instance, that the Iphone has got just one button thanks to Jobs obstination to simplicity?. Nobody thougt it could be possible but him. He has the ability to transmit his energy and faith to everyone in the company to make his ideas possible.
I'm a mac user 7 years ago, not much, I know, but it is time enough to have my own oppinion about apple and what Jobs represents to the Company.
Mr. Jobs...thanks for my Iphone 4, its simplicity and efficiency that everybody wants to copy from, for my Imac Intel based , for my Lion OS in which I work on what I need without wasting my time in fixing OS problems, for my Ipod and above all...for make me feel I'm in touch with the future every time I use anything from apple.
I hope you'll be in the heart of apple for many many years (even not from you CEO position) ank keep all of us dreaming of the future everytime we see a "bitten apple".
Regards,
C. Llerandi

*1. All Customers should be treated Equal.*
From the ones who purchased the iPhone on Day 1 to the ones who bought an iPhone yesterday. There should be no difference or discrimination on timeline.
Nor should be any difference based on the whims of store personnel. Yesterday some customers got $200 refunds even if they were outside of the 14 day window.
Having set this precedent Apple should follow it for all customers

ITunes Truncate Track Ending, Unsolved in 2+ Years: My Letter to Steve Jobs

I have posted this problem twice in this forum. Twice they were answered with something totally irrelevant, and then marked "Solved" and deleted.
Finally, I am going to mail the CD, and this letter to Steve Jobs, to let him know personally the bug, after so many years of iTunes, and the bullish way his stuff has been treating my questions.
Dear Steve,
My name is Leping, Ph.D. in Physics, working in the San Francisco Bay area as a senior medical imaging scientist. I am a long time and loyal Mac user and promoter -- actually I have not yet really needed to use a PC in my life (except for serious music ripping -- see below), and in the graduate school days our five+ million dollar NMR lab was run from a Mac.
Unfortunately, I am also an avid classical music enthusiasts, and part time musician. Needless to say I am now with my 6th iPod, and I believe I understand all the bells and whistles of iTunes. I am not talking about the higher-level bit-wise accurate CD ripping, that is only available on the PCs, through the EAC software, since also, as a well-regarded and published photographer, I know when is the time to use the pro level applications, such as Adobe Photoshop instead of iPhoto. For my photography works please check out my website at http://www.lepingzha.com -- I will be more than glad if you and/or Apple have use of any of my images.
However, I know a long time iTunes bug, that have never been addressed. Actually I posted it twice to the Apple web discussion forums, but was twice offered irrelevant answers, followed by the subject flagged as "Solved", and subsequently deleted.
Please open the still sealed compact disc in this letter, which I got in a retailer just to show you the problem. The title, Deustsche Grammaphon (DG) B0003902, is "Lang Lang plays Rachmaninov Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 2 and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini". It happens I am a Chinese American, but I want you to listen a bit into the disc not because I am a fan of Mr. Lang's playing -- as a matter of fact I actually not, but for the much more serious reason.
Please rip the Rhapsody in iTunes, to any format (AAC, Apple Lossless (ALAC), WAV, MP3...) starting from track number 4. A few tracks after that point would be adequate -- these are very short (10-30 seconds) tracks that truly highlight the problem. Listen to the resulting music, and the original CD, you will immediately hear the big problem, start right at the end of track 4 and at the end of every of these short tracks -- fraction of the ending second(s) are harshly chopped off, brutally truncated, and uncover-ably lost.
The same thing happens anywhere I use the Apple codecs, for example, converting the EAC (bit-wise correctly, as confirmed by its check-sum feature against the known sum database) ripped WAV files to ALAC or AAC, for instance, either on a Mac or a PC. The very same thing just happen, while there is no problem to any other non-Apple codecs (mainly to flavours of MP3 -- since Apple has the AAC and ALCA codec nobody bothered to write their own, I guess). So for our serious classical listeners, the iTunes and the Apple codecs are very problematic if not useless in many cases (operas immediately in my mind)!
Please alse not that, over the time the same problem has always been reported here, there, and basically everywhere, but every time there are gurus made comments which does not solve the issue. The followings are some recent examples.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6246698&#6246698
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6513266&#6513266
I hope you, my much respected and praised Steve, realize, that, how could, and mostly unthinkable, after so many great years, there can be still such very basic and serious issue the iTunes codecs can not handle in the right way? Does the track length information get truncated somewhere (or floored to an integer)? Why it is so difficult to acknowledge such a basic issue, and to have it fixed in the next release?
Thanks for your time and hope you enjoy the music.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Leping Zha, Ph.D.
San Mateo, California, U.S.A.

Finally found the reason: in the track's option field for some reason the "stop time" flag is checked and the timing is always about a second earlier than the actual track length.
Searched Doug's scripts and there is nothing to batch reset, or unflag the "stop time" tag. Anyone has a better idea rather than trying to deselect the tag track by track?
Once the "stop time" is unset the converted tracks will play through without truncations at the end.

Steve Jobs should demonstrate how tough 5G is in public :p

complaints everywhere about 5G scratch.
Apparently the case is not working? or no one use them..?
If the case doesnt help, people should ask steve jobs to do a demonstration of the toughness of 5G
They should just put a warning on the box and say "treat me well i'm fragile" or something.

A lot of people are saying that they are waiting for cases, but the iPod will still get scratched when its out of the case. ive ordered an invisible shield (before i found out about the whole water thing) and ill get a hard case when they come out. no way im taking any risks after spending so much money on one. it isnt easy for me to save £300.
but i can remember how protective i was over my 3G when i first got it. now i throw it all over the place

Steve Jobs and his magical powers!

I have found two things I can't do in iWeb but Steve Jobs can...
1) When I drag a photo album onto the page iWeb asks if i want to place all the photos in that album. If you click 'no' it doesnt do anything, if you click 'yes' it sprays your site with all the pics in that album.
When Steve did it in the macworld webcast the album turned into a button (without an alert) which when activated starts a slideshow of all the pics in that album.
Why doesnt mine do that?
2) When I 'manually' create a slideshow and go to view it, instead of the slick looking black background with reflections etc that Steve Jobs gets, I get a crappy 'Quicktime 5' lookalike window thats about as appealing as treating sunburn with a dose of sandblasting. Whats going on?

The behaviour you describe doesn't apply when you drag to a Photo page, which is probably what Steve was demonstrating. These have a Start Slideshow button already on the page. When you drag your photo album to the placeholder area your images are laid out in a grid of thumbnails and you can edit the captions and change the style of the thumbnail frames.
As said by the other poster, you only get the black background and reflection and transparent controls when you publish to .Mac, but there are options available for overriding the HomePage-style slideshow which iWeb defaults to when published to a local folder, as explained in this topic:

When Steve Jobs (French Edition) will be available in Canadian iBook Store ?

When Steve Jobs (French Edition) will be available in Canadian iBook Store ?
In Canada there are two official languages: English and French.
Why not make available Steve Jobs (French Edition) ebook in Canada in the same time than France ?

I found the ebook Steve Jobs (French Edition) at this address (25,67 $) :
http://www.archambault.ca/steve-jobs-JLI2845010-fr-pr
And you can use the app "Archambault - Mes livres" in the Canadian App Store to read the book.

Adobe: Show Steve Jobs who's boss.

Adobe,
You, like many of us must be angry at Apple right now after the recent ban on 3rd party (flash) created i-phoine apps just days before the public unveiling of your new Creative Suite. I could only image the number of man hours put in by your flash team to get the i-phone app compiler into CS5.
I do not like Steve Jobs anymore. His open arogence and passive agressive maliciousness are beyond acceptable.
Would it be too much to ask if every application in CS5 could be released only for PC? Sure, most people who use CS would have to buy a new computer, but it wouldn't be a mac, so it would be pretty cheap. As a PC and Mac and Adobe user I can say there is no reason what-so-ever for Macs to be the standard for adobe products anymore. Processor speeds, graphics cards and memory are all so high now that it just doesn't matter if you are using a mac or PC.
I know this may hurt your sales at first, but don't worry, it'll be ok. Adobe products are the industry standard for all forms of multimedia development and the alternatives are either non-existent or crude and lacking. You own the market. Your customers will switch to PC if that is what you dictate. They will have no choice; Their livelihoods/jobs all depend on your products. In the end Apple will lose allot more money then you, which is all that matters to me anymore. Someone needs to bring Steve Jobs down a notch and you have the power to do it.

The problem with Adobe Products is that most people use them without adequate training. A little study of various manuals, seminars and online tutorials can make one good and be able to solve those small glitches.
I don't have any problem with the CS3 as the integration is unique and unequalled by any other company. The shortcomings are the Non Realtime playback in PPro. but it renders very fast and also not accepting Inscriber CG and Title Deko like 6.5 but Photoshop, Fireworks and Afterfx are there.
Imagine this guy saying of the so called University removing Adobe Products
"Most people can not even install the latest software because of the changes to adobes install programs."
The Adobe installtion is still the same and I think the guy can not read or is new to Computers. Read the manuals Please

How did Steve Jobs project his iPad onto the big screen?

Steve did it. Why can't we? I understand that Apple's Component AV cable will only play video files on my TV from my iPad, but I would like to demonstrate all the iPad's features to an audience like Jobs did. Any clues, anybody? Thanks.

Mr. Holton is correct: Steve Jobs has specially modified units when he does a presentation on an iPhone or iPad. At this time the only way to project the iPad's interface and most applications would be to use something like a document camera.
Regards.

Steve Jobs Speech

I was wondering if it was possible to download Steve Jobs' keynote speech from the "One More Thing..." event a week ago. I don't have a video iPod so footage of it does me little good but I think it would be cool to download the speech, as a podcast maybe.
Thanks.
$lafa

Apple used to make his speeches available as a download, but I think for the past couple years they have only been available as a stream. I'm sure there are ways to record a stream, but this is the wrong forum for that discussion. Try looking in the QuickTime discussions.

Steve Jobs Needs to retake statistics

You can predict this. This has happend before so why not put counter measures in? All you have to do is take all of the current accounts with ATT then figure out the percentage of people that will probibly update with there past update download statistics then figure out how many new I phone G3's you have out there and compare that with the consumer research they did with there whole marketing campain before the release. Sounds complicated but easy. At the moment my phone is just a brick due to apples neglegence. Im a Vol. EMT on the side of my real job and I cannot get intouch with dispatch when my radio goes into a dead area and that happens 1/3 of the time. Also I canot get intouch with clints for the firm I work for. Thanks Steve Jobs!

This occurs to me... Who really cares who's fault this is, my iphone is currently a brick and I would like it fixed - NOW! What is completely ironic is that by enabling exchanges services on the phone Apple is trying to attract more commercial customers e.g. businesses... But do they really think setting the standard for this kind of unreliability helps????
p.s. Bill Gates probably sold jobs the server that crashed
