To avoid scratches/dents on your iPhone...

As I've been going around reading everyone's post about...scratches and event dents? on the iPhone....well heres what I have noticed.... The DOCK is amazing but for some reason, the chrome part of the iPhone is somehow resilient of keys and those kinds of stuff because I put it in my pocket on the first day along with my keys and cards and etc the whole day and not a scratch on it but the past 3 days I've been docking it, the plastic dock does a couple of scratching to it.
Dents? I haven't seen that but here's what I have observed from my iPhone. When it sync, there is barely heat on the phone but when its charging only, the heat is crazy. I plugged it in to charge and I even turned it off and as you know, a part of the back is plastic. So if you dock it overnight charging, the heat probably does that dent while on the DOCK, so I dont know if Apple has any software fix to this but one advice I have is to avoid the dock FOR NOW.
Hope this helpful for anyone.

I keep my iPhone plugged in every night, directly in the wall charger, and have not notice any unusual heat and/or scratches/dents to the phone.

Dents in my iphone 4 screen

after my iphone 4 being in my pocket i take it out and in the light i notice many little dents in my iphone 4 screen only on the front screen this is unsatisfactory to me and am entitled to a new iphone because this screen is supposed to more scratch resistant than 3gs but how does it get dents in screen from being in pocket? it looks like a nail has being hit lightly into the screen with a hammer this i believe has seriously devalued the phone, there are about 4 in the same place.

I highly doubt that Apple will replace the phone. If the dent was there upon receiving your phone, and you show them on the spot, yes they will likely replace the phone. Apple only replaces the phone where there is a faulty in the hardware that fail and that if they can't fix it. Sure you can take it to genius bar and you can attempt to have them replace it but they will have to find faulty in your phone to do so.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.

Anyone else have the issue where, after the 8,3 upgrade, you cannot access more than 1 exchange account on your iPhone? This is annoying to me as I need to access 4 daily and cannot due to this error.
The first one, my private home email, works fine. With the other 3, I get the message "Cannot get mail: The connection to the server failed"
All were working fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I did try the old trick of making one minor change on the account and resaving, but that did not change anything. I even deleted my work account and re-entered it from scratch, but again, sadly, no luck. For the time being, I am successfully getting the email via IMAP, but this ***** compared to exchange. Anyone have any idea what is happening or if a fix is in the works?

Well, the one set up on exchange 2k3 is now working fine, although no changes were made on either the iPhone or the exchange side, so that's fun, but it still is throwing errors when connecting to the other 2 exchange accounts. The common elements are that both non-functioning exchange accounts are google apps for business accounts. So is one of the ones that's working, by the way. The settings on both accounts are the same as the one that's working, and both worked fine before the 8.3 upgrade. I have no issue accessing both of these accounts on my ipad which is currently on 8.2.x. If it's not the iphone OS at fault, I'm at a loss as to what it could be.

How to keep your apps when you upgrade your iphone

Hi there everyone. Like many of you peeps out there I have my sights set on the iPhone 5. I presently have a 3GS. A friend at work had the same but this week upgraded to the iPhone 4. One thing we spoke about and didn't have a clue about was, when you plug in your new iPhone to iTunes that has all your lovely purchases backed-up on it, what happens?
I have lots of paid for Apps and music on my 3GS and iTunes. What do you do to your old iPhone and iTunes so that, hopefully soon, my new iPhone 5, or in my friends case iPhone 4, can be the recipient of all the stuff backed-up on iTunes?
I'm sure Apple would have made this simple and not the case that you have to start again from scratch with a new iPhone.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Your apps, music, iBooks and so on are not tied to the device, they are tied to your Itunes/AppStore account. As long as you are using the same account, you can put those things on as many separate iDevices as you like. Just plug in the new device into the same computer and iTunes account as the old one, activate it with the same account and id, and then sync the things you want on it over.

Synchronization with your iPhone failed - Recurring Meetings

Hi,
We have a few users with iphones who are getting automatically generated emails when trying to sync their calendars where they have recurring appointments.
The message itself is as follows:
Synchronization with your iPhone failed for 1 items.
Microsoft Exchange was unable to send the following items to your mobile device. These items have not been deleted. You should be able to access them using either Outlook or Outlook Web Access.
Item Folder: Calendar
Item Type: IPM.Appointment
Item Created: 22/09/2010 2:50:41 AM
Item Subject: Weekly Meeting
========
google hasn't given us any solutions
Here are some more details:
We are on Exchange 2007
The issue appears to be with recurring meetings
It is only happening for some users, not all
Mail, contacts, non recurring meetings, etc sync normally
Any help is much appreciated - thanks

Not sure if people are still looking at this post, but we did finally find a fix for the issue.
In the end we figured out that one of our exchange mail box users had something faulty in their profile. By "faulty", our exchange admins attempted to move the user's mail profile from one mail store to another, but exchange returned errors when attempting to do so.
In order to "fix" the issue we ended up deleting the mail profile completely from exchange and then recreating it from scratch - scary prospect when having to do this with someone high up the food chain... (prior export and reimport essential otherwise all data is lost)
(the user dealt with many meetings for multiple staff, and was a common factor between all users getting the issue)
I wouldn't call this specifically a MS issue as prior to ipad/iphones, these issues did not occur, and even while it was occuring, turning off mail on ipad/iphones meant the issue did not occur and other email clients had no issues at all
- so it looks like something in the iphone is not quite robust enough to be able to handle a few errors
(alternative theory: perhaps it is the iphone that created the issue in the first place??? We don't know when the issue with the actual mail account started and not enough resources to trowel through log files looking for a needle in a haystack)
Anyway, not sure if this will help everyone with the same issue, but thought I'd share our experience

Some good info to help with your iphone adventure

Helpful tips for the average user in trouble shooting issues along with some screen/body protection...If you having problems with your iphone
try this first
1. Soft reset--hold down the home key for several seconds allowing apps to reset
If problems cont see #2
2. Hold the sleep/wake button and power off the phone for a brief moment.
If problems still see #3
3. Hard reset--Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button for several seconds should see apple logo and system will keep info
If problems cont to occur see 4
4. Perform total restore from Itunes (YOU WILL LOSE ALL PICTURES ON CAMERA ROLL) Must replace all songs and videos taking 15-20 min
If this does not work the notify apple
Another thing to protect your iphone is to consider a case, screen protector.
Powerusa has a screen protector that covers the whole screen and feels like the glass. Cost 16 and protects screen from scratching..

I also recommend the Case by Case mate and the Holster...Protect the body and screen very well.

I think it would help alot of people with their issues first! If problems cont to happen then seek the appropriate help.
As for protection everyone should protect their investment

How do you sync a cd to your iphone if it is already synced to another computer

I need help syncing my cd to my phone i cant seem to get it to work and im not sure how you can get it to work i would apreciate the help thanks

Hello rosy_33,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you had automatic syncing enabled on your iPod nano rather than to manually manage the content, then you can only sync to one library. The iPod will need to be erased before you can sync with another library. To avoid this in the future, you can enable the manually manage music and videos option in iTunes.

Why is that you have to use wifi to acces itunes on your iphone??

why do you have to be around a wifi spot to access itunes store from your iphone when we all have "edge".????

The iTunes store is very feature/data rich. Edge would be suicidally slow loading it, previewing tracks, and downloading them. So Apple probably made it WiFi only to avoid the 'Edge is SOOO slow! iTunes store takes forever!' complaints.

Time Machine backup fails if you are synching your iPhone?

Time Machine has been running fine on my 10.5.4 system, but today a backup failed
with the message "...error occurred while copying files..." Looking through the
forums, I saw a mention that one should not use iTunes during a backup. In fact,
I was synching my iPhone during the failed backup. Looking at the log using
"sudo grep backupd /var/log/system.log", I saw that it failed to back up
/Users/levoy/Pictures/.DS_Store. My iPhone has lots of photos on it, which are
stored in Pictures/. This comes close to a smoking gun. Lesson: don't synch your
iPhone during a Time Machine backup. Apple should track down and fix this bug.
By the way, my iPhone software is version 2.0.2, and my backup drive is a 1TB WD
drive from Apple. I have disabled sleeping the drive, as suggested elsewhere in
these forums, to avoid hangs.

Scratched Display on my iPhone

I just got a new iPhone 4 in March. I just recently noticed scratches on the screen of my phone and I'm not certain where they came from. I always take care of my phone and keep it in a case. The scratches arent terrible but it still bothers me, and I'm thinking about replacing the front screen. Should I take my phone into the Apple store or Verizon? Any thoughts on prices?

They do not repair the screen. You can buy an out of warranty replpacement:

If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.

How do you restore your iphone from a certain date?

Is there a way to restore your iphone 4s from a certain date (i.e. the last time you synced)? I downloaded a program today that enables me to access work email from my iphone; however, the security restrictions it has put into place on my phone (not my employer's phone) are making me want to remove the program. I have been told by out IT department that I can only restore my iphone & start over from scratch.

Well, if you create iCloud backups, they overwrite one another every night around 1:30 AM, so that may not be so helpful unless of an emergency. The only other way is through an iTunes backup. When an iTunes backup is overwritten, it is sent to the recycling bin. It may take a while to determine which backup you want to open in iTunes, but once you do, you can restore your phone to the backup date of your choice.
Thank you for choosing Apple.

Does the Macbook Air need a protective case to avoid scratches?

Hi.. My husband gave me a MacBook Air 11" for Christmas. I would like to ask if there is a need to put a protective case over it to avoid scratches. Also read reviews from MBA owners that putting a protective case makes the MBA heat up faster. I'm planning to get the iGlaze Moshi and considering its quite pricey, I would like your advice if there is really a need to have a protective case. Thanks!

Hi Calcarballo.
Many thanks for your question.
As a user of a 2013 MacBook Air I have used Specks Shell for my MacBook Air and I cannot see a difference in heat. I bought the Speck 13" SmartShell Case for the MacBook Air and personally I am happy. It keeps the font screen clean from dirt and minor scratches and the bottom safe and clean. Personally, the Shell cases will not be a massive benefit if you throw your MacBook Air around but it does add a layer of protection.
Highlights of the Specks Case include:
Durable, ultra-thin hard shell protects from scratches and scuffs
Sleek, glossy two-piece design is easy to put on and take off
Anti-tilt rubberized feet keep your MacBook stable and secure
The website for the SmartShell is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/HD623ZM/A/speck-11-smartshell-case-for-macbook -air?fnode=50&fs=f%3D11inchmacbookair%26fh%3D36c2%252B2c0a
If you were looking for supreme protection, I would look at a Thule 11" Gauntlet Envelope Case. I have this case for the MacBook Air 2013 13" and it is way more protective, it is an envelope that is tapered to provide a perfect fit and safeguards your MacBook Air.
Highlights of this envelope include:
Tapered shape provides a precise fit for MacBook Air
Stitch-free, heat-welded seams
Semi-rigid EVA foam construction creates a glove-like fit and the padded protection of a sleeve
Nylex-lined interior lets MacBook easily slide in and out, preventing scratches
The website for the envelope is here: http://store.apple.com/au/product/H9933ZM/A/thule-11-gauntlet-envelope-case-for- macbook-air
Basically the choice is yours. The Protective case - the iGlaze Moshi and Speck's SmartShell will provide some protection against scratches and scruffs, but will not save your MacBook on big drops therefore do not utilise these SmartCases as an excuse to make sure your MacBook is safe. Your envelope will provide more protection but it is not as practical as the SmartCase.
The Choice is yours!
Many Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!

Is it ok to do the following things to your iPhone's battery :

1.Using iPhone till the bettery completely runs out
2.Charging before it runs down
3.Unplug before it's fully charged
4.Use iPhone when charging
5.Charging when it says low battery.
Overall, when's the right time to charge your iPhone ?

Try to avoid running your battery down until the phone turns off...Lithium batteries don't like that, & frequent full discharge/recharge cycles will eventually kill your battery. You can charge whenever you like, as you cannot overcharge...charging automatically stops when your battery is full. Fine to use the phone when connected to a charger. Charge as often as you like or are able to...but, as provided...avoid full discharges as much as possible.
