Where is the documentation of the options on the 'System Services' settings screen?

The settings screen Settings ▸ Location Services ▸ System Services in iOS 5.0 contains the following boolean options:
Cell Network Search
Compass Calibration
Diagnostics & Usage
Location-Based iAds
Setting Time Zone
Traffic
I have never used an iPhone before and do not understand what each of these services do. Where can I find Apple's documentation of these options?

As I say, I've disabled all of them and see no need for any of them.
As far as I have been able to determine these are being used to build up location based databases for use in advertising, marketing and other commercial uses:
Cell Network Search - tracks the cell towers you are connected to and your location to aid in building up a database of cell phone tower locations and useage
Compass Calibration - this one I have no idea about. It is absolutely not necessary for the actual act of calibrating your compassapp, and your compass app works fine with it disabled. Why anyone would find it useful to know where I was when I had to calibrate my compass, I have no idea.
Diagnostics & Usage - this one is obvious, and is used to tag your location if you have chosen to send diagnostic and usage information to Apple. I can see where it might help them to know where you were when you had some issue (ie. so they could see if the area correlates with frequent network errors or such)
Location-Based iAds - also obvious, but I don't want marketers targeting me with ads based on where I am, I find internet advertising far too intrusive as it is, I have no desire to aid them in pestering me even more.
Setting Time Zone - this one I don't get. If you have data & time set to "automatic" this is pointless, as they date and time (and hence time zone) will be set by your devices connection to the cell tower(s). I have no rational thoughts as to what this being used for, or what good it may do.
Traffic - this is apparently somehow used to update a database of traffic patterns. How it knows what the traffic around me is, I do not know - ie. what triggers it, I have no idea.
Anyway, I have them all disabled, as I can see no rational reason to have any of them on. They just needlessly use up my battery, and are sending data to places that I have no idea of or about, for purposes I have no clue about, all of which, going by the complete lack of information about them, is by design (which just irritates me - at least explain the dang things or don't bother even including them).

Where in the System Preferences do I increase the computer screen text size

Where in the System Preferences do I increase the computer screen text size

What you need to change is Screen Resolution.
You can change the screen resolution in System Preferences / Displays. On that pane you will see numbers like 1440 x 900. The larger the numbers the smaller the text on the screen. (The current setting is shown in grey.) Just experiment with other resolutions til you find one that suits you. You want to move down in the options to increase the size of the displayed text.
When you select a new resolution, you have to confirm that it's what you want, else the computer will revert to the previous resolution.

Where's the "System Temp" probe? (K8T-Neo)

Where is the "system temp" probe located, and what does this measure? I've seen other posts asking this question and I can't see a definitive answer.
The reason I ask is this:
I've got a nice copper Zalman heatsink that keeps my cpu cool, around 30 idle and 40-45 under load. The "system temperature" is always hotter than the cpu, at least 40 and can get up to 50. I stick my hand in the case and the air is no where near that hot, so I figure its reading the temp of some chip on the board, ie the northbridge (ok I know its not really the nb, but lets just call it that.)
I stuck a 4cm fan on the stock passive nb heatsink and this had very little affect on the "system temp." So either that temp probe is not on the nb or the stock heatsink is just lame. Anyone got any ides?
Another question --- what does the V-Link DATA 2X bios setting do? I've read that enabling it greatly improves "system performance." But when I disable the SATA controller (as I have no SATA drives) the V-Link option becomes greyed-out, like the v-link only has to do with SATA. Does it affect anything if I'm not using SATA?
Scott

Hi
The Winbond chip at top of board above Dimms and Bios monitors the temp, if there is hot air coming from the HDD bays, as chip is right under end of drive as a rule, just where all the cables and things are most likely to interupt air flow. it can affect the temps. Its a good idea to direct air from a fan to that point.

Where are the e-mail settings?

Hi, I have an E72, I have set up a POP3 e-mail server and I can receive e-mails with no problem, but I cannot send any! Now, I know how to solve the problem, I simply have to change the outgoing port number to the new one given by my e-mail provider, but I CANNOT FIND WHERE ARE THE OUTGOING SERVER SETTINGS!
The E-mail -> Settings -> Mailbox name -> Mailbox settings tab only has one server setting in it, and it says "Server name". There are no separate settings for Incoming and Outgoing servers! Where can I change them? In the Advanced mailbox settings there is only one setting - for the port number, but again not a thing about which are my ingoing and outgoing servers.
Pls help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

thanks albyzas, thanks thetao.
I have the last version (3.21 I think) and I know where the in/out settings should be located, but here is no such thing under the "Advanced Mailbox Settings"! The only settings I have are the port number and the secure connection on/off. I have this problem since I bought the E72. Previously, I had E71 and it had the in/out settings there!
BTW the provider I use is listed automatically for my country, just below Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo (I don't have to click "Other")
So I have some questions:
2) Delete and remake the mailbox. Don't use Nokia Messaging (their push service) by Declining the terms of service. Maybe that provides more control?
If I decline them, what client will I be using then?
3) Can you remove the email client? I hesitate suggesting that because some people have reported being unable to reinstall...but you can try if you feel daring.
If I remove it, how can I reinstall it later?
4) Do you recall when the problem started? If it happened after a firmware update, a hard reset ( *#7370# , default password 12345) will sometimes fix weird issues that occur after installing new firmware. Be sure to make a backup first.
The Problem started when my e-mail provider decided to change the numbers of their ports several months ago...

Getting an error message when trying to reinstall iTunes - 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services.

After a recent iTunes update my iTunes failed to start. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it again, but during installation an error message pops up saying: 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start the system services. The three option buttons which can be clicked are 'Abort', 'Retry' and 'Ignore'. I tried pressing ignore, which allowed iTunes to install. However, it seemed that not all parts off the programme installed, as it wouldn't allow me to open iTunes again. Whenever I press retry it just makes the same message pop up again. How can I show that I have 'sufficient privileges'?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Where is the "Push" service documentation.

Does anyone know where to find documentation about the Apple "fix" to the background application restriction with a push service, mention here:
http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/06/09/appletackles_iphone_background_app_limits_with_pushservice.html
Thanks in advance.

Ouch this hurts !
So at this point there is no way to create an application that changes the icon (a la default Calendar application) based on information retrieved from the network every so often right?
No background services allowed, and no push notification service.
Is this correct?
Any one know what "in the future" means?
(me crying ... )

Where is the Edit Develop Settings option???

Hi all
I am doing some study for my Photoshop ACE exam with the help of a study guide (ACE Exam Aid).
One of the questions it asks is:
You have saved the current image settings as a preset in Camera Raw and want to apply it in part or whole to selected raw files in bridge. What should you do?
The answer turns out to be: Choose Edit > Develop Settings and then select preset by name.
Now for the life of me I can't seem to find this Edit > Develop settings option in Photoshop, Camera RAW or Bridge!
Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

Highlight an image in bridge, then simply go to edit and it is the 11th choice down in the list.

Where is the Adobe X Settings file

We use Adobe X with a Form production and Document Handling software. We need to set particular settings in Adobe X for the system to work properly. I don't want to have to remote into each individual pc and change the settings manually. My plan was to copy a corrected config file and propogate it out as part of our user log in script. Does anyone have any ideas where that file is at?

There isn't one - configurations are generally set in the OS (for example in Windows it's all inside the registry hives). There are options to customize enterprise deployments of Adobe Reader and lock down features, see the Acrobat pages on Devnet for info.

Where is the system directory of JDeveloper 10.1.2.1?

In JHeadstart 10g for ADF Installation Guide, it says the followings:
If you want to be able to use JHeadstart Designer Generator: in <JHeadstartHome>\config\jdevaddins you will also find a file named migration.xml. This file must be copied to the system directory of JDeveloper, for example: <JDeveloperHome>\jdev\system10.1.2.0.0.1811. On Linux this directory is in the home directory of the user that is running JDeveloper: $HOME/jdevhome/system10.1.2.0.0.1811. The exact name of this directory depends on the build number of JDeveloper.
But, there is no directory like <JDeveloperHome>\jdev\system10.1.2.0.0.1811 in JDeveloper 10g(Version 10.1.2.1, build 1913) New Aug 2005.
Where is it?

You have to start JDev 10.1.2.1 once before the
system directory is created under the /jdev
directory. The name will be something like
system10.1.2.1.0.1913.

(261936172) Q general Where are the Web Service source files?

Q <general> Where are the source files for a Web Service created
with WebLogic Workshop stored? How do I deploy the Web Service
on a different WebLogic Server? Is there a way to bundle the
Web Service project files manually to distribute them?
Is there a way to configure the directory where Workshop stores
the files?
ANSWER: (by Adam Fitzgerald, [email protected]) The .jws files are stored
in the project folder. This can be located on a local system, although by default
they are in c:\bea\wlserver700b\sample\workshop\applications. The Web Service
structure is understood by WLS 7.0 so by archiving the appropriate folder you
can transfer the Web Service in its entirety from one deployment to another.
