What should you do with a new iPhone? Should I let it die out of the box the recharge? Or is it ok if I charged it over night the first night? Did I significantly hurt the battery?
So what should I have done? Did I screw it up or will it be fine? I swapped one iPhone out already for battery
Issues. I hope I didn't cause them myself by not letting it
die first...
You can leave the iPhone connected to your computer or a wall outlet as long as you want without any adverse effects to the battery.
"For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down)."

What can you do with a stolen iPhone?
My iPhone 5s was stolen last Sunday. Since then I have put a block on the SIM and, using 'Find my iPhone', have set the phone to be erased. 'Find my iPhone' shows the phone as offline all the time (I believe I had cellular data disabled on the phone). I was using a passcode lock on the phone and my Apple ID uses two step verification.
Does this ensure that the thief can do nothing with the phone, not get at my data, e.g. contacts? Or are there still ways of using a phone in such a condition, e.g. via a jailbreak? What can a thief hope to get from the phone?
Any information might help me to sleep better :-)One additional question: I have been looking at the https://www.apple.com/privacy/docs/iOS_Security_Guide_Oct_2014.pdf and right at the start it says:
Entering Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mode
Restoring a device after it enters DFU mode returns it to a known good state with the certainty that only unmodified Apple-signed code is present. DFU mode can be entered manually: First connect the device to a computer using a USB cable, then hold down both the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons. After 8 seconds, release the Sleep/Wake button while continuing to hold down the Home button. Note: Nothing will be displayed on the screen when the device is in
DFU mode. If the Apple logo appears, the Sleep/Wake button was held down too long.
Does this mean that my stolen iPhone isn't (for the thief) just a brick but that he/she can restore data from some other backed up iPhone and make the phone usable again? I guess my data would be protected but it still gives the thief a saleable phone. -
Why is the latest version SO HORRIBLY UGLY?? what where you thinking with this new rounded tabs?
you really should reconsider who is your design chief!!! as with your mobile OS you are just imitating others, imitating a bad version of android, now you want to imitate CHROME, firefox is going down more and more with time, and this little details about the design of your interface is just a proof you are left behind

What do you do if your Ipod Touch won't let music come out of the internal speakers?
What do I do/ I've searched the web and nothing has worked!
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8. I want to update to 10.7 or later so I can run iTunes 11 with my new iphone 5C. What update should I download?
If you do not know whether your iMac has a PowerPC or Intel processor, do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu. You will get this:
If the line by my second highlight arrow includes the word "PowerPC" as in the image, you can upgrade no higher. If it says, "intel," you can--as Niel indicates--update to at least 10.6.8 and possible higher. -
I did everything recommended on apple store support site and still cannot connect to the network with my new iphone 5 but my co-workers and students (I work for the university) can keep connectivity all the time. I am very unhappy with my new phone
Be patient, Apple is coming out with a update soon, its been reported that they have sent the update to the carriers to test, which means it will be soon. And is suppose to address this issue.

I've been given under warranty what us supposed to be a new iPhone 5. When I try and restore it from my iCloud it keeps asking me to sign in with two other Apple ID's that are not know to me. Why is this?
Adding to KC7GNM's remark (with which I agree), the iPhone 5 you received is very likely refurbished. It is not brand new out-of-the-box, never before used.

What type of repeater should I use with my new Airport Extreme?
what type of repeater should I use with my new Airport Extreme? Thanks.
If you want to repeat both bands of your dual band AirPort Extreme, another AirPort Extreme would meet these requirements.
If you only need to extend one of the bands that the AriPort Extreme provides, then an Airport Express would do that nicely. -
okay. when i connected my iphone 5 to itunes it replaced all of the data from my old iphone 3gs (contacts, apps, notes, bookmarks,photos, music, everything you can possibly think of) with my new iphone 5's data. I am so frustrated with this. Why? and it did it by itself, i didnt touch anything, or clicked anything. please help me this is urgent! I am a businessman and need my contacts.
You're iPhone was probably set to automatically sync with your iTunes upon plugging it in. Best option is to restore from a backup, either on iCloud or your computer.

I loaded the new iTunes (11.0.0.163) on my computer and also just purchased a new iPhone 5. Prior to loading the NEW iTunes, I was able to sync with my new iPhone 5. After I loaded the new iTunes, I now get an error message: 0xE8000084. What's up?
Also, it says the iPhone 5 is not registered to my Apple ID.See if the troubleshooting for 0xE error codes on this page helps : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3221

I recently downloaded the latest iOS 7.1. A few days later I had an unrelated problem with my phone and Apple Store provided me with a new iPhone 5. However, when I tried to restore my backup from the Cloud, it said that iOS7 is required. what do I do?
Update your iphone to ios 7.

My iPhone 5 has broken and is being replaced with a new iPhone tomorrow. However, My carrier (orange) will b picking up my broken iPhone and I am unsure how to secure the content and icloud data on the broken phone. Is there a way to disable the data held on it and ensure that if it is fixed, nobody can use/see my data and access my account?
Hi Gazpan,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I recommend using the steps in this article to back up your iPhone if possible:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
You may also find this advice helpful for your situation:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
If you no longer have your iOS device
If you're using iCloud and Find My iPhone on the device, you can erase the device remotely and remove it from your account by signing in to icloud.com/find, selecting the device, and clicking Erase. When the device has been erased, click Remove from Account.
If you're unable to complete either of the above steps, you should change your Apple ID password. Changing your password won't remove any personal information that is cached on the device, but it will make sure that the new owner can't delete your information from iCloud.
Cheers,

Review of the iPhone 3G: Finding Bliss with my new iPhone 3G
☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻☻
10/10 happy faces
I bought the new iPhone 3G a couple of weeks ago (the first Apple product I have owned), and I have to tell you--I LOVE IT! It is sheer "bliss". The phone is sleek and easy to hold. More importantly, it is super easy to use. Everything is activated by touch or a quick flick of your finger. And it's FUN! I've never had a "fun phone" before this.
I would recommend this phone to anyone, especially to those who have problems using the regular phone-style keypad to text. It is also the perfect phone to give to someone who may be "technically challenged" because once you comprehend how it works, it is easy to use.
Here are some of the things I like about the iPhone 3G:
Usefulness & User Friendly
In the past, my other cell phones have been used for the calendar, once in a blue moon for the game on it, but mostly as a phone--that's it. With my iPhone, I can:
-download my email contact list in Outlook (or others) so that I have all my contacts on my phone
-call friends just by touching their name in my contact list
-activate the speaker by one touch during any call
-access the internet and enlarge parts of any website or turn the iPhone horizontally for easier reading
-send out a Twitter post in seconds
-plan my schedule in the calendar (I actually use this more now)
-use Google Maps to help me navigate and GPS to see exactly where I am and what's around me (makes ordering pizza a breeze)
-download numerous applications, music, videos etc from iTunes, plus from my computer (did that all on day 1)
-take great pictures; it's a camera too--I can view them separately or as a slideshow
-download photos from my laptop or PC to my phone
-get a TV guide app that will show me what's on TV--great for when I'm traveling (only US for now but they promise Canadian compatibility is on the way)
-get a movie app that shows me what movies are on, where and when (even in Canada!)
-gives me a direct link to YouTube so I can watch clips (get the 6G or higher data package!)
-check the weather forecast for the week--anywhere (great for when traveling!)
-check our stocks (not a pretty picture right now!)
-set world clocks (great for traveling!)
-play numerous games that I can download from iTunes (many simulate the Wii experience)
-use as an iPod, complete with headphones and speaker so I can take calls while listening to music (much like having a bluetooth)
-send and receive email (easy to read and to type)
-easily send text messages*
-type notes and email them to myself so I can save on my PC**
*Texting
I could text on my last phone, but I hated using the tiny numerical keypad. I'm not a teenager that can rapidly fire off a whole paragraph in mere seconds. It took me forever to type a text message. So I rarely used that function.
With my new iPhone, texting is a breeze--and fun. It is made easy by the use of a simulated keyboard that pops up. Since I'm a writer, using a keyboard is second nature to me. The letters on the iPhone keyboard are quite large and easy to tap. When you tap a letter and hold for a second, the letter pops up enlarged, making it easier to read for those of us who have vision issues. I don't even need my reading glasses for this.
All text conversations are stored so you can flick back over a conversation that may have taken place over weeks. You can read both sides of the conversation in colored balloons. Or you can erase the conversation and start fresh.
**Notes
The notes application opens to a legal pad (yellow pad with lines). All you have to do is tap on a line to drop the cursor, then use the keyboard to type. With all typing on this phone, you can touch and hold and a magnifying bubble comes up, helping you to see the text more easily. This way you can move the cursor if you need to correct something. With the iPhone's smart technology, it'll offer you suggestions for words that you accept by tapping the space bar.
Finding Bliss
Two nights ago, I discovered just how much this note app will help me. I write novels--suspense mainly. Because my imagination is so active and is always "on", I am often blasted with an idea for a novel at the least convenient time. Sometimes while I'm driving, sometimes while I'm watching TV. In these cases, I scramble around for paper, write down my thoughts, then end up losing or misplacing the paper if I haven't entered the info on my computer.
Two nights ago this happened. I was watching TV and a commercial came on. It was for Bliss chocolates. First, it made me want chocolate (lol). But the more I looked at the word "Bliss" in its pretty scrolling font, the more I started to picture a young girl--named Bliss.
Then...BAM!
I was blasted with a story that made me sit up in my chair and reach for my iPhone. I couldn't let this idea or Bliss escape. I had to capture her story right away. So I made some notes. When I was done I had a very brief plot outline. I was extremely happy to see that I could email it to myself, which I did. Then I went on my PC, opened the email and copied the text into a new folder with the title of this new YA novel--Finding Bliss.
The following day I told my husband about my new novel idea and about Bliss and my iPhone note feature. While we sat in the mall, another piece of her story showed itself to me. So out came my iPhone, type-type-type send.
As my husband and I talked, he gave me a terrific idea. *I am going to write Finding Bliss on my iPhone!* A complete novel, using the notes feature. The iPhone will also be featured in my novel; someone will be using it. Marc suggested I contact Apple and let them know what I'm doing and how I'm using the new iPhone 3G. I think that's a great idea. They might get a kick out of the fact that a bestselling Canadian author is using her iPhone to write a novel.
I have already started Chapter 1 of Finding Bliss. My plan is to write it on the iPhone, then edit it on my PC.
As for Bliss chocolates, I bought a bag to celebrate. They're heavenly.
And my new novel? It will be a project of love.
Finding Bliss will be an emotional, heartwarming story of a teenager who must fight to survive a world of abuse, lies and loss. As she struggles to find herself, Bliss will discover exactly where she belongs and she'll learn that she is worthy of love after all.
~Cheryl Kaye Tardif,
bestselling author of Whale SongWow, what a great review. But that's expected from a writer. I had an HTC Touch but it had to be rebooted after 20 to 30 minutes of play. It got kinda boring. I cant put this iphone down.
You forgot to add you can do full sentences without abbreviating when texting or emailing. It's that easy!
