Traveling with your iPhone...

I'm traveling for the 1st time with my iPhone in a few weeks and was wondering if it is OK to put it under the airport security xray scanners. Has anyone had this experience? Will it "hurt" my iPhone?

I just put it in the little tray with my keys and other such objects. No problem from x-rays yet.
On another topic: it seems lithium batteries are now totally prohibited in checked luggage, so you HAVE to carry your iPhone on.

Puerto Rico: Is it roaming charges if you travel with your iPhone?

I am travelling to puerto rico.
I live in the US and I am wondering if I'll be roaming or not.
Thx

Talke to ATT twice, to confirm what the 1st agent told me.
SUBJECT:
iPhone International Roaming
FACT:
Apple iPhone
iPhone users roaming internationally need to be aware of the following:
The unlimited data portion of the iPhone rate plan is limited to domestic use
Data is not unlimited when roaming internationally. When using your service outside the U.S., Puerto Rico or U.S. Virgin Islands, international roaming rates apply.
Decreasing International Data Usage
In order to decrease international data usage, the following options are available to limit automatic or regulated data sessions.
Disable Email Retrieval
Tap Settings.
Scroll down and tap the Mail icon.
Tap the first integrated email account.
Slide the email indicator from On to Off .
Click the Mail icon in the upper left hand corner.
Repeat for every integrated email account.
Each account must be turned back on to resume delivery and receipt of email messages.
Airplane Mode
Tap Settings.
Slide the Airplane Mode indicator from Off to On.
All voice and data functions of the device are disengaged until this setting is set to Off.
These tips can also help you minimize data usage while roaming internationally:
Utilize WiFi, available in many international hotels, airports, and restaurants to browse the web or check email
Keep Data Roaming "OFF": Be sure to download the Version 1.1.1 upgrade to iPhone. This software update will enable the ability to turn on/off data roaming when traveling outside the U.S . By default, this setting will be in the "OFF" position. The path is: Settings > General > Network > Data Roaming.
Turn off your phone's "auto check" function, and check email manually when needed, using WiFi
Reset the usage tracker to zero when you arrive overseas and monitor your data usage
Consider purchasing an international service plan that includes discounted international data usage. AT&T now offers two discount international data packages. The 20 MB package is $24.99; the 50 MB package is $59.99. See att.com/wirelessinternational for details and international roaming rates.

"There is a problem with your Iphone..."

So I purchased my Iphone off trademe last year, it did not come with warranty ect.
About 3 weeks ago I dropped my iphone in water, I put it in rice + silica gels in a sealed zip lock bag for about a week.
It was working fine for about 2 days and it suddenly collapsed;
- it does not charge properly, the battery is always on either 1% or 100% but whenever I pull it out of the charger, it turns off immediately or stays on for about a minute or so and shuts off.
- It charges for a little whenever I plug it into my Mac, but then turns off after 5 min or so of charging and then blinks off and on with the apple logo continuously until I have to plug it into my wall charger.
- It does not function properly unless it is plugged into my wall charger. It works for about 15 min and then turns off, automactically turning back on with the IOS 6 start up screen. Whenever this happens I have to turn it back off and then on for it to return to normal.
- I have restored it once successfully, and it worked perfect, but I forgot to charge it over night and it went all funny again.
So now, I have tried restore it again. I connected my iphone to itunes, and my iphone successfully stayed on throughout the process of restoration. But then as soon as it finished, my iphone was supposed to restart but it started blinking on and off which made me have to connect it back to my wall charger. So now it sometimes works normally whilst connected to the wall charger, but usually it continues to turn off and on with the IOS 6 start up screen. When I slide the 'set up' slide, it comes up with the image of the USB cord and Itunes saying 'Connect to Itunes. And so, I do. But then it comes up with the very annoying message "There is a problem with your Iphone, please go to your nearest apple store...ect." on itunes, but in my iphone it says "Connected to itunes." but I have no idea what to do next? I can't put it into recovery mode because it doesn't charge properly on my mac, so it does not turn back on no matter how long I have charged it for.
I have NO idea what to do! And I need itunes to back up my phone!
Any help is very appreciated!
Does anyone know what I have to do to get my battery working normal again? And what I have to do to get my itunes to "not have a problem with my iphone?
Thank you!

I hate to tell you this, but there is most likely nothing left on the phone to back up. If youdidn't have it backed up already, it's too late now.
As for getting it working again, make an appointment at the genius bar. You'll need to pay for an out of warranty replacement.
That one is almost certainly toast.

How do you manage to sync your music with your iPhone/iPod?

Hello everyone!
I want to ask you how you manage to keep your music library synced with your iPhone/iPod.
For years I managed to copy music onto the iOS device manually as my iTunes library was way to large to fit my iOS device.
Some months ago I created a playlist called "iPhone music". Then I created smart playlists which amongst others followed the rule "Playlist is iPhone music". That works so far and makes sure I do not try syncing more music than I have space on my iPhone (I always have an eye on the "iPhone music" playlist).
But maybe anyone of you uses a better and smarter way? Thanks for any ideas and suggestions!

Then be more specific.
Creat a list with your top rated trance music, or put a keyword in certain songs and make smart playlists using keywords or simply limit the size of the smart playlist.
You can make =these playlist in just about any manner you wish. They are very flexible.

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

Has anyone ever had a problem with your iphone working outside your home but not inside. The internet works fine in and outside of the house

Has anyone had problems with your iphone working outside of the house, but not inside? Cannot make or receive calls, nor can I send or receive any text messages. This is something that just happened out of nowhere. Can I get some help please?

Did you used to have service and now suddenly you don't?
This happened to me a few years back, and several other iPhone users in my neighborhood, and after a while on the phone with AT&T they figured out that a technician had recently adjusted the receiver/sender on the tower and it was slightly off. They sent them back up and I actually had a better signal after than I did before it went out.
I would call AT&T and explain the issue you are having and see if they can fix it.
If you never had service there then like wjosten said it's probably just a bad zone.
Hope you get it sussed out.

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

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..
http://www.powersupportusa.com/products/iphone_filmset.php
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

I got the same message.
I bought an iPhone 5 at full retail price from an AT&T store. I requested the phone to be unlocked through their unlock portal. The AT&T unlock system asked for the IMEI number, a copy of my receipt showing that I bougth the phone at "No Commitment" price. A few hours later I received a message from AT&T stating that the unlock request was approved. I then followed the instructions to back up the phone and restore it through Itunes. The phone activates normally with the AT&T SIM card. But when I insert my VODAFONE SIM I get the massage "THE SIM CARD... etc.
I tried again to back up & restore the phone 3 or 4 times, no success. I have also allowed 24 hours for the unlock process to complete. Still no luck.
I have checked again on the AT&T Unlock Status portal and it shows "Unlock approved".
Where is the issue here? Do I have to call Apple or return the phone to AT&T and get the unlocked phone through the Apple Store?
Thanks for any help on this.

It appears that you have an iPhone that is locked to a carrier other than the one you were using. Now that you have tried to update the iOS, it has relocked. That is what happens if you are using a phone that has been hacked to unlock. You have also forfeited support from Apple and from this forum.

My iPhone 5 shows me there is a problem with your iPhone when it activate

I got iphone5 from my chinese friend and it was wraped (in other words its new)
And I cutted my micro SIM from my iphone 4 into nano SIM
But when I try to activate this, the signal is searching... and no service.
Also I tried through itunes to active my iphone and it shows me there is a problem with your iphone.
is it country lock problem or probably my SIM card problem or itself problem..
but when I tried without SIM card it shows me
There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.
Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone.
What should I have to do now?
Go to Apple store offline and diagnosis or go to mobile company and get nano SIM or something else...

No, it wasn't jailbroken on iOS 5.1.1.
