When to get BUMPER/CASE???

ok, quick question-
if i were to go out tomorrow and walk into at&t and buy an iphone 4, how does that work now with the new "free bumpers"???
like on apple.com its saying they are currently unavailable, and that something would be up soon- but i dont think i will want to really take it out and use it to its full potential without the protection.
so i was just wondering if anyone knew how that works now? does at&t have bumpers to give out with the phone and if not how and when do you get one???
thanks!

Even the AT&T stores don't have any inside information on the free bumpers issue. I was in an AT&T store tonight and they were talking with me about how they have been watching the apple.com site there at the store, to keep up with the latest updates, just as we are.
I believe that we should be hearing something by Friday, since we all know that "second half of july" really meant "the last possible day in july" haha! Yes im holding out for a white one.

Is my iPad supposed to turn off when it gets bumped

When I bump or close my case to fast it shuts it down. I not sure if that's a sensor or if there is something wrong.

I also have a Targus case that doubles as a stand and what I think is happening is that when you hit a bump - the sleep button is being pressed by the corner piece that holds the iPad in place. That's just a guess but the way my iPad sits in this case, the sleep button Is covered by the one rubber black corner piece.

When bumper cases will be avail for sale?

Just wondering when we will have Apple iPhone bumper cases avail for sale from online/retail stores?
I want to get white one.

Oh okay. Well, I've just had a look at the actual product in the store, and it said currently unavailable, which you probably knew already. Maybe your best bet would be to check after September 30 (I know it is so far away) since that is the date that you can no longer order a free one. Other than that I would suggest to ask at your local genius bar, or see if your carrier/service provider has any for sale.
One more option I believe you have is to buy one not directly affiliated with the Apple brand. Yes, it is slightly more risky to have a non-apple brand, but since it's just a bumper you could ask to put it on before paying for it. see if it fits.
That's all I can think of to help you. Sorry I dont have better news.

Free bumper case when and how?

Steve indicated that every iPhone 4 owner would receive a free bumper case to hopefully correct the antenna issue. When and how does one receive the case? I must admit that I have only had a few dropped calls. I live in an area that has a weak signal and my 3G had not one dropped call in 2 years!!!

Apple will offer a free iPhone 4 Bumper or other select cases to iPhone 4 customers. Details on how to order a free Bumper or case will be available soon on apple.com, details most likely this week.

HT5312 I have a used iMac 21.5 in that i would like to reset the apple id so when I get updates in goes to my id instead of the previous owners id. Which in the case is a relative

I have a used iMac 21.5 in that i would like to reset the apple id so when I get updates in goes to my id instead of the previous owners id. Which in the case is a relative. How can I do this ?

The Mac, it's OS and the iLife apps are still associated with the original owners Apple ID.Normally the original owner needs to follow the process to prepare a Mac for selling or giving it to someone else. They need to call Apple Care and request that their Apple ID be disassociated from the Mac, erase the Mac and install the most recent version of OS X that shipped on the Mac, reinstall the iLife apps and deauthorize the Mac from their iTunes account.
If you have a bill of sale of some sort and can prove the Mac beongs to you, Apple may be able to assist you. Call Apple Care and explain the issue.

How can i get a bumper case

What`s the steps to apply for a bumper case online?

I don't know if they are still doing this, but the current dispute settlement is a $15 cheque (or $15 of some sort) to you, since you did not apply for a bumper earlier. You need to have owned the iPhone before Feb. 17th, and this is all stated in the e-mail Apple sent you. (If you can't find it, check your Spam/Junk folder)

Component Video Cable and Bumper Case

Just a head's up. If you have an iPhone 4 and a bumper case, the Component video cable will not fit properly when the bumper case is on. It inserts, but the cutout that fits the standard USB cable is too small for the plastic part of the cable that is larger on the Component Video cable.
When I tried to plug it in, I did not notice this the first time and got the "This accessory is not compatible" message. I also got B&W video. When I took the case off and the cable seated securely, I was able to get 420p video from the video I took with the camera. NOTE - The Component cable only supports 420p when playing on an NTSC TV. I was also able to see YouTube at 420p. I did not try anything else.
Hope this helps some of you avoid frustration

Yes I do live in Europe. But who says that Component Video Cable is a standart from USA or Japan. I have been using Component Video Cables to connect my DVD Player with my video projector since 2002. Component Video Cables are wisely used in Europe. And its the ONLY analogue way of transferring HD-Video (Plus DVI and HDMI)
What disturbs me alot is that on www.toshiba-europe.com they explain that my computer has:
Interfaces 1 x headphone
1 x DC-in
1 x line-in
1 x external monitor
1 x RJ-11
1 x RJ-45
1 x i.LINK (IEEE 1394)
4 x USB 2.0
1 x Monitor-in (line-in port)
1 x TV-antenna
1 x S-Video-in (Composite/Line-in)
1 x TV-out (s-video, Component-out))
1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)
Where is the Component-out ???Promise is a promise. Why do they say it if they dont give it?
Instruction manual also says that : D-Video port lets you transfer 525i(480i),525p(480p),1125i(1080i) or 750p(720p) data to external devices.
How can you transfer 720p with a Scart Cable?? It is impossible.... The only way that Qosmio can transfer 1280x720 picture is a Component Video cable.(Because it has no DVI port) How much does this cable cost anyway?? But the problem is NOBODY is producing it in Europe. I am writing to Toshiba-Japan. Since they are saying that my computer has Component-out so they must get me the cable....

Free bumper cases wont work with car chargers

Apple sent me a bumper and I tried it with a griffin car charger and it will not plug in as the cutout in the case is not large enough to fit the end of the cord. These have been around for a while and if you want to use them do not order the bumper. I called Apple and they stonewalled and said it was a third party item and they do not guarantee to work with them even though they sell them on their web site. They will not send out a case that works either. Typical I guess as Apple never makes a mistake.

I completely agree with the topic poster.
Let's think and not just knee jerk.
First, why did Jobs introduce the bumper right at the same roll out of the iP4? I mean isn't that odd to talk about cases like some side show pitchman along side a fine, new item like the 4?
Answer- he knew at that time the external antenna was susceptible to issues if held in the lower left corner. The proof of that is his quote from the press conf. when, in addressing the issue, he said, "look we even show you where it is…x marks the spot." (as he referred to the antenna seam)
So, conclusion, issue was known and anticipated and admitted.
That brings us to the bumper. If they knew the issue and wanted to help ameliorate it, why not build a bumper that not only addresses the antenna but one that also allows maximum access to the charging opening, accommodating most chargers?
Why risk further customer issues?
Apple is a hi-tech hardware design company with few if any peers.
You're telling me they couldn't figure this out, that they couldn't build in the "Dremeled" more accessible bumper bottom?
Come on.
They blew it. That's the answer. They are human and they rushed this "patch" with the supplier and blew it.
And in the middle of a fiasco (that's what the antenna issue became) they further alienate good customers, like the person initiating this topic and countless others no doubt, by not attending to a small yet critical issue with the bumper.
So, poster of this thread, you are right.
Others, yes there are alternatives but as a business owner myself I'd advise Apple not to alienate paying customers.
All that said… the iP4 is marvelous.
Get a case that's made correctly like I did and there is no issue at all with reception. In fact it is VASTLY improved for my usage.
That may not be the same for all and that's why we listen respectfully in this forum.
So we can be helpful. Right?

Bumper case causing damage to bezzle and easy glass scratches

Anyone else having problems with the bumper case damaging the bezzle on the phone? My case caused what looks to be layers of protective coating or paint to come off. The stainless edging has strange swirls and looks as if any rubbing at all on it ruins it. You would think a case made by the company would keep this from happening. Also anything will scratch the glass. My phone is not that old and has scratches all over it. The are deep into the glass as well. I have never dropped it or stored it in the same pocket with keys or change. To bad the 30X stronger isnt true and I cant even contact apple about it without paying to talk to someone.

I really wonder if you didn't get a defective phone. While I did just only get my iPhone 4 yesterday, i had the 3GS model for over a year and put it in pockets with change, keys, etc. And I never had ANY blemishes occur on it. The glass or the white back.
I hope this isnt an issue with the iPhone 4, seems like Apple wouldn't go backwards with their glass quality.
It's a long shot but why not take it into the Apple store, if your'e near one, and let the Apple Geniuses see what the Apple branded bumper did to the finish on your phone. I have found that my local Apple store geniuses are very helpful and almost always want to make you happy when something doesn't seem right with one of their products.
Maybe try that. They may just swap you out a new one because of the damage caused by one of their own add-on products.

Why does my sound only come on sometimes when i get to the log in screen for World of Warcraft?

Product: HP Pavilion dv9628nr
Operating system: Vista
Error Message: (i dont know if it is an error message) "No Audio Output Device Installed"
All I did was play the latest content for World of Warcraft (Patch 4.3). I hit the mute button and it turned red. I hit "exit" and "exit now" after i was done playing and it took a long time to exit. After it was back to the very familiar screen with all the icons the sound was gone. The mute button was blue after a restart, then it started saying i didn't have a sound card when i tried looking for it. The next day i turn on my laptop and and the mute button is red when it's starting up. After it was done I unmute it and sound worked fine, but for a while. After that the sound only comes back on a few rare occasions when i get to the login screen of world of warcraft. Then after a while of walking around doing nothing, the sound is gone again, but the mixer is still there (the mixer disappears after i restart). It also doesn't let me successfully uninstall the sound driver. I restart and go to reinstall the driver on the website, but during the download it says that it's already installed and if i want to overwrite, when i hit "yes to all" the lap top beeps LOUDLY, and says the installation failed because it didn't find the device. What's going on?

The boot ROM is static unless Apple issues a firmware update. I just checked and they never released any such updates for the eMac. Without a firmware update available, I know of no way to overwrite the current version.
What did the serial number check show? Don;t post your serial number, just whether it fell within one of those ranges.
The logic board issue was specifically bad capacitors. Look at some of the pic posted here:
http://picasaweb.google.com/gdegagne/EMacCapacitorReplacement#
Open your RAM door on the case bottom and look inside. The third picture in the web site is the view with that door open. You can see only two of several possible bad caps through the RAM door but, if those two are leaking brown goo like those in the image, I think you will have found your problem.
I just realized you are in Tacoma. That makes the closing of the repair place I mentioned all the more sad, as your shipping costs to Eugene OR would be much less than for an eMac owner living several states away. Heck, you could have driven it to Eugene!
Really, I'm not in the habit of preaching 'gloom and doom' but, in your case, we need to deal with the logic board issue first to be able to provide you with worthwhile help should your computer not have the "bad cap" problem. If bad caps are the problem, there is not much we can offer other than to refer you to Google to search for self-repair instructions, or to Apple Customer Relations (1-800-767-2775) to consult regarding a Repair Extension Program that was apparently shut off too early.

I recently Updated my phone and my front camera stopped working its pitch black but still shows the icons on the screen but when i get off the app and get back on and flip the camera to my face view it works fine

Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

Did you know that an aluminium bumper case for IPhone 5 effects signal strength?

I purchased a third party aluminuim case online called Transformers bumper case. When I had it installed, it drops the signal all the way down to 1 bar. On the otherhand when I use a plastic or rubberized case, the signal is not affected. Does anyone else have a similar experience??

Never used a metallic case, simply because that changes the antenna configuration. A problem with first of the iPhone 4 models was attributed to hoe the iPhone was held and the effect on the surrounding antenna band. Good reason to not enclose the iPhone in a metal case.

What settings do I need to have on my macbook pro to access student.ashford.edu when I get the following error message: The system is unable to process your response at this time. If you feel you have received this message in error. Please contact your Sy

what settings do I need to have to access Ashford University's student portal using either Safari or Firefox when I get the following message: The system is unable to process your response at this time. If you feel you have received this message in error. Please contact your System Administrator, or try again at a later time.

I am able to get to the Ashford University login display with no difficulties with both Firefox and Safari. Obviously without a student password I cannot go any further. If you can do the same, then clearly the problem is at the other end. If that is the same case with you, then there is no advice that I can give you but to stir the pot as best you can.
Ciao.

Car charger doesn't fit with bumper case!!!!!!!!!

Hi
Just got my new bumper case on the free offer and it look great BUT my car charger doesn't fit with the case on ( I have tried 2 different types)
The house charger fits fine.
The car chargers were bought of the net, will I need one form the apple store to get it to work.
Has anyone esle had this problem?
This is my first I phone and its brilliant but this case fiasco is annoying!!!!
Cheers Sandy

Hi,
This is an unfortunate fact. Some aftermarket products don't fit. I have an iTrip and I had to modify the plug to fit in. Simple with a dremel tool. File will work too. Cheaper than buying a new charger/FM transmitter.
