Who else isn't exchanging their iPhone 4 and waiting like me?

After reading lots of posts where people were exchanging phone after phone (in some cases 6 or 7 times) without either their camera or antenna issue being resolved, I have decided to hold onto my i4 and wait for a software fix. Hopefully it will be coming. I got mine first day out so tomorrow is my P-Day (phone day) deadline. Did anyone else choose to do this? I hope I'm not making a mistake.

I got my phone the day before launch day (pre-ordered). Unfortunately, I have the antenna issue and the proximity sensor issue. Like you, I debated returning it. But I had already sold my 3G, and I definitely wanted an iPhone (I'm a big fan), so I've decided to hang onto it. I'm hoping the case will solve my antenna issue (right now, I just hold it different!). And more importantly, I'm praying for a quick software update that addresses the proximity sensor issue.
So, I'm keeping it. But I'll always have a bit of buyer's remorse. I can't help but feel that the iPhone4 will forever be a punchline.

Does anyone else have problems connecting their iphone and i tunes not recognise it have reinstalled itunes 8 times now

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes for Mac forums.
BTW, iTunes 10.3.1 is not a beta release. Only the iTunes in the Cloud service is beta.

HT201084 My family shares one Apple ID on multiple devices. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

My family currently shares one Apple ID on multiple devices and has for quite awhile. How do I switch everyone over to their own Apple ID and the Family Sharing without having to erase their iphones and ipads?

Thank you again for your time, GB.
I set up individual Apple ID's for my children so that they could have their own Apple ID on their individual iPad minis (gifts from grandparents last year). When I go to iCloud under Settings, I see my Apple ID listed at the top, then my children's listed under Family Sharing. So the device is still using my Apple ID for iCloud, iTunes, etc., correct?
To "assign" their own Apple ID to their own iPad mini, I would need to "Sign Out" from my Apple ID. When I attempt to do so, I receive a warning that all of the Documents and Data will be lost/deleted.
So, instead of doing this, I figured out that I could do what you suggested. Signing in using a child's Apple ID will allow her/him to use Game Center, FaceTime, and Messages just fine. However, using their Apple ID for iTunes & App Store proved to be a problem: Purchased Music and Movies appeared in iTunes, but my Purchased Apps did not appear. Some Apps even disappeared, e.g. Proloquo4Text (a $99 app to help my son speak with his iPad).
So I reverted to using my Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, and I get everything that I want, EXCEPT for the iCloud storage for each Apple ID.
So that's when I started wondering how Family Sharing was really benefiting me ~ It was a lot of work (deleting apps to allow space to download iOS 8, etc) without any benefit that I can see. UNLESS I find a means to allow me to sign in each iPad's iCloud account with a different AppleID, then perhaps restore the Documents and Data from a backup? Would that work?
Thanks.

HT201272 If I create separate Apple IDs for my children, will they still be able to access content I have purchased on their iPhones and iPads?

If I create separate Apple IDs for my children, will they still be able to access content I have purchased on their iPhones and iPads?

I happened to stop at the Apple store yesterday for a separate issue and had a discussion about iCloud. Seems like this is how iCloud works (also, there's another thread on this forum that explains it well).
Each member of the family can have their own iCloud ID, which will be used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Apps, Bookmarks, Media, Photos, etc. and having this content synced automatically with a Mac (computer). The iCloud IDs work in tandem with the associated Apple ID — so while you cannot have multiple Apple IDs, you can certainly have multiple iCloud IDs tagged with a certain Apple ID.
While all this makes sense from the iOS device standpoint, I'm unclear on how things will sync with a Mac computer, especially if the family uses a single iMac with multiple login IDs for various members. For instance, I currently have an iMac and iTunes content resides in my Public folder, which my wife can still access when she logs in with her login ID. I'm guessing that I'll be able to set up her iCloud ID using her login, set up my iCloud ID using my login, while both our iMac logins will retain the same Apple ID. This would take care of syncing Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc.
Another (not sure if unique) problem I face is our Address Book — right now, we have one GIANT address book with different groups set up. Certain groups sync to her iPhone, while others to mine. Some contacts are common between both of us. I'm hoping that if she/I updates a common contact, then the change will be reflected in both our groups of contacts. I hope this makes sense — for instance, I update a contact named Joe, and he's on my group of contacts in my iPhone. Hope iCloud updates the master contact card for Joe on the iMac, which would then automatically trigger the update on my wife's group of contacts—that Joe also belongs to— leading to an update on her iOS device as well.
Apologies for the lengthy response..

My account was deleted for security issues. I made a new account, but I can't syncronise my apps with this new account. I bought a new Iphone and would like to transfer the apps ans music on this new one. Can somebody help me?

Why would you make a new account? This will likely cause many problems. Just get you old account enabled.
Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account. You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

Why can't I get text on my iPad? Roommate has iPhone and iPad like myself gets text both places. The only difference seems to be her phone number is listed before her email address. Can't get it to add my number.

I assume that you mean that you do have an iPhone because messages will not work with any other type of cell phone. You should be able to add your phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at, if your phone number is lited in there, select it and then uncheck your email address and then the iPad will be using the phone number just like the iPhone.
If you phone number is not listed in there, you probably have to sign out/turn off Messages on the phone and the iPad and then start over again on the phone - and then your phone number should be accessible to use on the iPad.

You can't.
The iPhone stores text messages in conversation format for starters.

Who uses a case for their iPhone 3GS?

I have a case I've been using just to protect the back of my iPhone. I'm thinking of taking it off and just going naked (the phone that is).
Anyone have any problems with their naked iPhone in their pocket? Any scratches? Just wondering.
Thanks.

Has long as you do not have coins or keys or the like in your pocket, then your iPhone should not get scratched while in your pocket.
I have a leather case for my iPhone (this one)
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TU776ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0NA&mco=MTE0MzU0NjY
It doesn't add any additional bulk to the iPhone and it just gives the iPhone a cover of the front, back, sides, it also has a soft velveteen interior. I can highly recommend the case.

There are 3 users on my iMac. how does each backup their iPhone and download pictures into iPhoto?

There are 3 users on my iMac. How does each backup their iPhone on iTunes and download pictures into iPhoto?

If they are using three separate Mac accounts, then they have three iTunes libraries and three iPhoto libraries, so it just works.
If they are trying to share one Mac Account, they probably want to switch to separate accounts.

Unread message count problem with exchange on iPhone and iPad

Using our ecchange server, the unread message count is different (larger) on the iPhone and iPad than on Apple Mail or Outlook (Mac apps). We have tried deleting and re-adding mail accounts on iOS, checked server settings, restored iOS devices, but to no avail. The message count is consistently higher on the iOS devices than on the desktop (or web client). Any suggestions?

I am seeing the same thing and I agree with MathiasF's observation. My count seems to increase when I do a search for mail on the server. This has happened previously (iOS 5.x) but ending the Mail app always fixed it. The only way I can correct the count now is if I turn off sync for Mail on the Exchange account and re-enable. This clears my mail and causes my phone to go out and redownload. Rebooting and resetting the iPhone has not helped.

Is anyone else having trouble with their iPhone on any kind of speakers?

Just last night, my iPhone 3gs just decided to stop working on any kind of speakers, iHome or other brands. I've plugged my phone into multiple speakers, and my phone will say that it's charging, and the power button to the speakers will say that the speakers are on, but my phone doesn't really register that it's connected to speakers. Whenever I hit play, my iPhone speakers play the music, not the speakers of the iHome. But whenever I plug my iPod classic into any of the speakers, the speakers work just fine. I'm thinking this must be an issue with the recent 4.1 update, but I don't know.
Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to solve this problem?

Yes, we all are having this problem. Search for Sony+iPhone and you'll see the threads. I have a Sony clock radio that used to work fine, now it's just a giant charger since applying OS4. Some people have got it to work by doing a hard reset so no apps are running except iPod. This didn't work for me though, and I used to also be able to play Pandora too before the upgrade.
BTW, I took my iPhone (it's a 3GS) to the Sony store and tried it on the models in the store. It worked with one of them, but not the others, so the newer ones might work. Not very useful if you've had one for a while though.

HT4436 Can there be more than on iCloud account on a computer? I have an iCloud account with my iPhone and would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC

Can there be more than one icloud account on a computer? I have an icloud account with my iphone but would like to view my photo stream on my husbands mac. I do not have a mac but an older PC. thanks

Welcome to the Apple community.
The simple answer is yes you can. On a single user computer, the user can have secondary iCloud accounts, which they can add through the system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars. The only drawback here is that only the primary iCloud account can use photo stream. This can be worked around by having a second user account on the Mac. Each user account could then have a different primary iCloud account, one for you and one for him, your account could then receive your photo stream pictures.
Are you also aware that you can have iCloud on your PC and download your photos stream pictures to it.

Why can't I use my Mac Book pro for cashing checks like every one else uses their iPhone and iPad? I am a grandmother and in the past 4 years I have purchased 4 MacBook Pros and 1 iPad for my children and grand children.

I would like to be able to use my MaBook Pro for cashing checks lie the I phone and I pad. Why isn't this feature included?

This has nothing to do with Apple. As BobTheFisherman indicated, your bank needs to create an App for the Mac to do this. These types of applications tend to be limited to mobile devices as they are a bit easier to maneuver for taking photos.

Anyone else have this problem with their iPhone and MacBook?

Okay, so just now I had my iPhone sitting on my Macbook's bottom left hand corner. I go to slide it off to the side and it locks my MacBook! I thought it was just a coincidence, so I tried it again with the same result. I thought it was bluetooth, but this is off on both my phone and Mac. Anyone know what this could be?
Thanks

The magnetic field of the phone is tripping the lid sensor.
