The iPad is here, where is the new OS for the iPhone now?
Where is the new operating system for iPhone to go with the iPad?
My critiques of the iPad (in case Apple is listening)
1) NAME
iPad? Didn't Apple do research to see that iPad was already a skit on SNL for feminine hygiene products? Let the non-stop mocking begin. Cancer research firm Enero 6 Corp. owns the domain iPad.com. iSlate is a much cooler name and Apple owns the domain iSlate.com according to MacWorld.
2) LACK OF BUILT-IN iPHONE
If Apple wanted the iPad to be revolutionary, perhaps building the iPhone into the hardware would have made amazing jumps over other tablets and readers.
3) MARRIAGE WITH AT&T
Apple didn't learn from the disaster of marrying AT&T and are likely continuing that exceptionally short sighted relationship, limiting customer base and interest since millions simply loathe AT&T - and with great passion - and will not leave their carriers.
4) TWO SEPARATE DATA PLANS FOR iPAD/iPHONE USERS
Continuing with number three, Apple locks the iPad so that you must pay for wifi service. Is that in addition to your iPhone or part of the same package? Most likely different since AT&T charges per unit on the iPhone. Who really wants to pay for two different data plans to have an iPhone and iPad? I guess that's genius on Apple's part, they sell two items, though is there a kickback from AT&T for the data plans? Again, Apple limits their product line only to people willing to pay for one or possibly two data plans with one provider of service.
5) MISSING FEATURES
Camera/iSight, iPhone, iWork & iLife. If they're going to market this as great for travel, why not include these functional applications so people can do work while taking the commuter train from NYC to Boston or DC?
What else am I missing?

I have an iPhone and iPad on the same account. I gave my iPad to my daughter. Can I set up a new account for my iPhone only so I can back up photos, etc, in privacy?
If you set up a new account on your iPhone you won't have access to all the data associated with the prior Apple ID.

Can I use the Garageband app for iPad to create a new ringtone for my iPhone 4?
I want to create new ringtones for my iPhone, and consulting Support, they explain how to do that using Garageband 9.0, but I want to know if the Garageband app for iPad can be used to do the same thing or not. The iPad uses iOS 4.3.3.
Would you be composing the ringtone in garageband or taking existing material and editing it? You could create something but then you would have to send to iTunes and format it as a ringtone there I believe

I really wanna order a new housing for my iphone 4 (at&t)Ive dropped my phone a million times, and its even gone swimming
its SURPRISINGLY not shattered, but has a ton of deep scratches in it. i saw on Amazon.com you can buy complete new housings for them, and i watched a couple youtube videos on how to change them, but i really dont trust myself changing it. my luck it destroy it and it will be garbage, and ill be left with no phone...
question is.. Will APPLE put a new housing on it, if i buy it and bring it to them? (*i dont have apple care, or any kind of insurance on my phone*)No, they will only sell you an out of warranty replacement, which for the iPhone 4 is $149 (US).

I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID. I've set the new ID for the phone, but it defaults to the old one when asking for a password to update apps.
That's because all apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & can only be updated using that ID.
To use your new ID with these apps, you'll have to delete them, then repurchase. Or, contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID. -
I have a new macbook and i want to make it my new home for my iphone, as well as transfer all the items on the iphone. i already removed and deauthorized everything from my old computer.
1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
above covers your iTunes purchases. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip. -
I just downloaded the new update for my iphone
just downloaded a new update for my iphone and now all i get when i try to power the phone back on is a itunes logo a aarow pointing up and what looks like a charger below that... is it telling me to connect to itunes?? is there a problem with my phone?? someone please help i am out of town and need my phone
That's telling you your phone is in "Recovery Mode", & needs to be restored. You'll need a computer to do so:

If you don't have a current backup to restore from, any data on your phone will be lost. -
On the Apple website, I read that you must run OS 10.6.8 in order to sync the iPhone 5 with the computer. However, in the tech specs on the "Buy the iPhone now" email I received at my .me email address, it listed the OS sytem needed as 10.5.8. Which is it?
In Reply to all fellow Apple fans: It is great that someone found a work-around to the iTunes 11.4 no syncing problem. I think that is fine for the short term. And I am really glad that we customers have a forum to share information and experiences regarding Apple's products. However, as someone here said, we are all customers; and posting a problem here "IN HOPES THAT APPLE READS THESE POSTS" is NOT a way to resolve this issue or any issue.
PLEASE CONTACT APPLE: Apple Service Center: 1-800-275-2273 - Once you get a ticket number then and only then is this documented and then Apple can follow-through and alert the engineers who will fix this.
The "CWA2" work-around band-aid does several things in addition to reverting back to iTunes 11.3.1. :
1) It ensures that Apple continues to know nothing of the problem.
2) It ensures that the faulty code that is within 11.4 remains there and is perpetuated into future versions.
3) It ensures that YOU can never upgrade to future versions. (If the resident faulty code remains and perpetuates)
So once you have reverted back to 11.3.1, the problem APPEARS to have gone away (FOR YOU) but you have not solved the problem.
Again, respectfully,
1) Sending feedback to apple (using the "Report Bugs To Apple" menu item in Safari will get the information to someone, somewhere and add it to the pile of issues, complaints, suggestions, etc.
2) CALLING the Apple service/support Center at 1-800-275-2273 will put you in touch with a real APPLE person who will begin the process of documenting and forwarding this issue on to those who will fix it.
and
3) emailing Apple directly will make sure that they get the information.
lets get this fixed !!!!!!!!! -
My husband and I share the same apple Id for our iphones, now each one has different contacts, email, pictures, information, etc how coul I change the id of my iphone without delete any information?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting an account from a device will not delete the information from the account, if that is what you are asking. -

I was attempting to update iphone 4s today, laptop went flat during the last stages. The iphone now only displays USB cord, with an arrow pointing towards iTunes emblem. iTunes will not accept/read the iphone. HELP??
If you have the latest version of iTunes you should not have to download the ipsw file separately as jalp suggests. iTunes will download it automatically.
This error (9) most often means that your antivirus or firewall (or router) is blocking access to Apple's servers. In rare instances it can also mean that the phone was hacked (or "jailbroken") to unlock it. If this is the case you must do a DFU restore, not Recovery Mode, as follows:
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall. If you has Kaspersky you may actually have to uninstall it, as it can never be turned completely off.
Connect the USB cable to a USB port directly on your computer, not to a hub. DO NOT connect the other end to the phone
Disconnect all USB devices except for mouse, keyboard and iPhone cable.
Launch iTunes
On the phone hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time for EXACTLY 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP button but continue holding the HOME button. The screen should be black. If it has an Apple logo this means you held both buttons too long. Release the HOME button and do it again.
While holding the HOME button connect the free end of the cable to the phone.
After a short while iTunes should recognize a phone in "recovery mode" (iTunes doesn't know the difference between DFU and Recovery modes, but the phone does)
Release the HOME button and don't touch the phone or the computer until the process completes or you get an error message. Ignore any displays on the phone.
If the error recurs the phone was probably messed up when it was hacked. This is not a hardware problem, or if it is, it isn't one you can fix.
You can try repeating these steps with a different computer and a different cable. If that fails also the phone is probably not repairable. -
I got a Iphone 4S internet like free(UNLOCK) but is not... This Iphone is lock with Orange (SPAIN) How can I unlock the Iphone now¿?
"Ok, but Whats happen if the carrier said that I need the first contract personal information.."
Then you need the first contract personal information.
" I Know that all the companys have to unlock de phone... ¿?¿?"
Not true.
"Apple could help me then¿?¿? unlocking the Iphone beacuse Apple always have the last word...
No. Apple has no part in the decision ot lock or unlock at all. Lock/unlock is 100% the decision of the carrier. Apple has nothing to do with this decision. -

Sorry... But... The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
If you cannot get this information from the seller
Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.
There is No Workaroud for Activation Lock. -

Without that Apple ID, you will not be able to use that iPhone. -
How can i get a brand new case for my iphone
I NEED TO GET A BRAND NEW CASE FOR MY IPHONE BECAUSE MY IPHONE IS DENTED ON THE BACK AND SCRATCHES ALL OVER THE PHONE, IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME I WILL APPRICIATED.
You can start by not using all caps - using all caps on the internet is considered as SHOUTING and hopefully you didn't intend to be shouting at all those who read your post.
When you say case, do you mean the iPhone casing itself?
If so, you can contact AppleCare for a quote to repair this damage which won't be cheap. I believe there are some 3rd party repair facilities available that will do the same won't be cheap but maybe somewhat less than what Apple will charge.
Or purchase a case for the iPhone to cover the dents and scratches and to protect it from additional damage with future drops.
