Why are the APN settings unavailable with 3.1.3 and 4.0?

I have an officially unlocked iPhone 3GS. The APN settings menu was available for editing with pre 3.1.3 firmware but has disappeared with 3.1.3 and 4.0. I have spoken with Apple where I was told to restore the phone to defaults and start over, this didn't work. The Apple support papers distinctly say that the APN settings should be available for edit with an unlocked phone OR when the telephone provider allows it. As this is an unlocked phone the APN should be available. I use the phone with 2 SIM cards, 1 AT&T and 1 Telstra (Australia) card because of travel hence having the APN available is a great help. The 2 other phones in our family have suffered the same fate so this is obviously a firmware problem, not hardware.
Any ideas on our to get the APN settings menu back?

I am very interested in finding out about this - I am in Canada, and here Apple is selling a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS. I just posted this as a question... You can keep an eye on my thread also...
=================================
This summer, I was in east europe with my unlocked google nexus one, and was able to happily use local SIM cards - to enable 3G internet functionality, I just needed to configure APN settings as per carrier spec, and - voila, Internet etc...
This whole experience has left me with the idea, that for a factory-unlocked phone to be Internet 3g functional, it needs the ability/menu choices to set up custom APN settings.
Apple Canada is offering an iPhone 3GS (8gb) that is factory unlocked, but unless one is able to set/change APN settings, it's kind of useless for internet...
Does anyone know - does the Canadian Factory Unlocked Apple iPhone 3GS have the APN settings menu? My own Rogers-locked iPhone 3GS does NOT have the ability to set APN settings... Is the ability to view/set APN settings controlled by the carrier (whose sim card I inserted into the iPhone?)??

I heard back from Nike+ support and they said that there will be newer pics soon and it also appears that this corrected itself for my runs, but not the user pic, I only get girly options, I wouldn't mind a picture of a guy on 'ROIDS!!! Just kidding, but something less feminine or cartoon like, I'm trying to be serious about this and the site should reflect that.

Why are the gamma settings different when I watch Final Cut projects on Quicktime?

I added a Gamma Correction filter to my video clips in Final Cut Express 4, and after exporting the project into a Quicktime file, the video shows up brighter and washed out in my Quicktime 7 player. I've even checked the box in Quicktime Preferences to enable Final Cut Studio color, and the video still looks brighter than it should be. What can I do to fix this?
Here is a side-by-side view of the Canvas on left and Quicktime on right.
I am sending this to someone as they will upload it, so to prevent any possible mishaps, my other question is are the settings from what we see from Final Cut the official one? Or is what I'm seeing on Quicktime what I will be seeing if I were to watch it streaming from a website?

It's a huge issue that has existed for years. Legacy QT used to have the Gamma set to 1.8 but since to 2.2. FCP however has no way (other than adding another effect) to adjust this. It does only affect some codecs however. Adobe After Effects has a check box in the project settings for 'Legacy Gamma in Quicktime'.
ProRes422 has a button for Automatic Gamma. One day they might add it to all the codecs - who knows.
In the meantime you could just add a gamma curves effect and adjust it to be 0.3 darker.

Why does the Vision M come with old Creative Mediasource ,and not version

I just got a Vision M player and was disappointed to find it came with the older version of Mediasource, I recently purchased and returned a Zen V 2 gb. player that came with version 5 software. I'm confused why the M only gets version 3.30.35 . I removed version 5 before I loaded the M software thinking I should to avoid conflict. Has anyone had any problems using version 5 with the new Vision M ? I should have copied the disc before I returned it,oh well. I've tried to update using the autoupdate with no luck I keep getting an error at 33% then windows asks to send and error report or de-bug. I've given up on the update site.Message Edited by Roadslayer on 09-26-2006 07:03 PM

Zen Vision M was released earlier than Zen V. As such, it has the older version of MediaSource in the product CD.

Although I can receive mail on my btinternet address I cannot reply or send. My settings , apart from user name are extactly the same as my wife's who has no problem. We are the same account but with different user names and passwords.

Why are the movies I took on my iPad long and skinny with black edges when I import them into iMovie

I took several short video clips on my iPad and when I imported them into iMovie they are long and skinny with black on both sides. My other movies from my camcorder fill the frame. How can I convert them to be full frame. They are .mov format from the iPad?

From what you describe, you probably held your iPad vertically rather than horizontaly when you shot your movie.
The picture in iMoive is a rectangle oriented horizontally, so it's showing your vertical movie as large as it can.
If you cropped your vertical picture to fit the horizontal ratio of iMovie you'd have to cut off a lot of the picture.
Soeone even made a mock PSA about this subject.

Why are the Touch apps marked with the † for included, when they are infact not included?

Adobe you need to fix the Touch Apps and quit tricking people... Included† and it says "Touch Apps†"
This indicating that they are INFACT INCLUDED....
as it stands what you are realistically telling us is that none of the other products are included in the creative cloud only the touch apps... who ever you have setting this page up......
When it should say Not Included†

@DeLancieGalleries - It is not the email you purchased the apps with but the one you sign into the Creative Cloud with which will be the same. Relevant line 'a Qualifying Member must sign in to Creative Cloud from each of the Qualifying Touch Apps' from here http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/offer/touchapps.html.

Why are the localStorage objects unavailable to Safari while Private Browsing?

According to these two sites
http://caniuse.com/#feat=namevalue-storage
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/131587/how-can-a-web-site-determine-if- safari-private-browsing-is-turned-on
HTML5 localStorage objects aren't accessible when users visit sites that use them via a Safari Private Browsing window.
W3 indicated this is supported: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp as does https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/tools/conceptual/safari extensionguide/ExtensionSettings/Extensi…
I'm hoping to find or establish more information that confirms localStorage objects don't work in Safari Private Browsing windows. All other browsers my team has tried support this in private browsing mode.
Thanks for any and all assistance.

Why are my fields not moving with my Dynamic stamp ? Only the artwork appears

Why are my fields not moving with my Dynamic stamp ? Only the artwork appears

Sounds like you're a candidate for Lightroom...based on the time you don't
want to spend in Photoshop.
Photoshop install media is likely created in large batches, perhaps in a
foreign country, so it's understandable that you get Photoshop 11.0.0 is on
the media.
I don't know as I would use ProPhotoRGB as my working space in Photoshop. I
was merely suggesting that you look at your color settings to make sure
things were the same on both machines.
How do you know your actions are the same? Did you copy the action
recording from one computer to the other, or did you merely record the same
steps on each one? Have you compared the details of each action step in the
Actions Palette to make sure they are the same? The symptoms still sound
like something different than sRGB being the output color-space, or the fact
it isn't embedded on one or the other of the computers.
How are you viewing the JPG when it looks the same or different than the
RAW? Are you looking at the side-by-side in Photoshop, or side-by-side in
Bridge, or are you using a mixture of viewers, one Adobe, and one not? And
are you using the Canon Codec on Vista or not? The Canon Codec would be
showing the camera-preview in the RAW not the RAW adjustments that Adobe has
done.
While the OS shouldn't be causing a difference in how the action is run, a
difference between OSes may make a difference in the processing to show up.
The camera profile associated with a RAW file is visible in the
third-from-right tab in ACR over at the right. The one with the little
DSLR-camera icon on the tab.
Can you attach the two JPGs on a reply, here, or if not, upload a ZIP of the
two JPGs and the RAW to a file-sharing site like http://www.rapidshare.com/
and post the download link(s)?

HT4839 PLEASE HELP!!! I am simply trying to update the APN settings on my Iphone3 AT&T carried Straight Talk SIM phone. For some reason, when I enter the Straight Talk APN info in the Config Utility and click "Install", NOTHING HAPPENS. WHY?

PLEASE HELP!!! I am simply trying to update the APN settings on my Iphone3 AT&T carried Straight Talk SIM phone. For some reason, when I enter the Straight Talk APN info in the Config Utility and click "Install", NOTHING HAPPENS. WHY? I have spent almost 2 full days simply trying to get the cellular data network settings to appear and I am now at the point of pulling hair and/or smashing things. Why is it so difficult to simply update the cellular data network APN settings on a standard Iphone 3 ATT with a unlimited Straight Talk plan? Everyone knows that Straight Talk's $45 a month unlimited data/calling plan is supposed to be 100% compatible with AT&T carried Iphones. Will someone please tell me HOW TO UPDATE THE APN SETTINGS ON THIS IPHONE 3. Thanks and God bless
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

StraightTalk is not a supported carrier.
Contact them for support.
FYI, unless the device is officially unlocked from AT&T, you will not be able to use it on another carrier.

Settings: Why are basic webservices settings not included (i.e. OneDrive behavioural settings are hidden in the system tray)?

What is the idea of a new control panel if you can not in fact get an overview or kind of dash board?
Settings includes PC+Cloud, i.e. Accounts let you do settings for the cloud, i.e. connect to your live account.
But why are basic webservices settings not included (i.e. OneDrive settings is in the system tray)?
Great consolidation is happening now between settings, control panel - i.e. getting rid of obfuscation, blur and complexity between legacy settings (control panel) and actual kind of settings. However do not recreate the problem by leaving the
next step of integrating cloud settings across the middleware. What is the idea of a new control panel if you can not in fact get an overview or kind of dash board?

Hi,
Interesting issue, what about other configuration or settings? Do they work fine or keep reverting after a reboot? Have you tested this issue in another user account? What is the result?
Regarding to unable to save settigs for current user hive, I doubt whether there's an application you installed recently or an malware\virus changes the permission of registry entry or value of registry keys like
HKCU\Software\Classes which causes this issue.
Yolanda Zhu
TechNet Community Support
Hmm... I don't understand. Nothing is reverting after a reboot, as well I'm
not unable to save settings in the current user's hive. The correspondent registry keys can be saved perfectly fine and they are
deleted, not reverted after a reboot. I pointed to the exact code that does it, the code is located in Microsoft DLL with all certificates and digital signatures intact. Permissions obviously don't matter, since svchost.exe is executed with the highest
integrity level and under the System user account, the keys in question inherit permissions, which allow System to do whatever it needs without restrictions
by default, you can't change it to allow more.
So can you explain how it can be some malware?
The issue is intermittent, I don't have a 100% repro, therefore “testing” under another user account is doubtful.
