Why does every thing I want to do requires a jailbroken iphone?

I'm not talking about hacking and stuff, but all the awesome cool apps require a jailbroken iphone, like turning your iphone into a wifi router for your laptop, all the cool PC connecting apps. More customizing the iphone and wallpapers and customizing homescreen wallpapers, moving backgrounds on homescreen... etc... Every one I see has a jailbroken iphone. I don't think i've seen any one with a iphone not jailbroken with in the last 6 months.

You are welcome to do what you want to do, it is your phone, you own it and what you are suggesting is legal. Regardless there are risks as the other posters said, Warranty, chance of bricking your phone, opening up to hacked data, stolen information, etc.
I would love to do some of those things with my iPhone, but I don't want to risk damage or loss, not worth it for me, the extra's are not that important.
Only you can decide if the risk is worth the rewards.
There is not a question here, but it seems you are looking for people to give you the courage to do it, or the support to go forward. Seems you have the advice of the people here, so it is your choice now.
Remember "if" things go wrong, this forum can't help you fix it, as the topic cannot be discussed here.

Why does Perl 5.12 want to connect to daryl.dostech.ca and who the heck is Daryl?

After recently installing Lion I'm getting a lot of Little Snitch hits from Perl. WTH? OK, I know perl is a proramming language great for string manipulation and widely used in network programming but why does something like that want to connect to a guy like Daryl? I did a little investigation and it seems he runs or has something to do with the Spamassassin open sourcing here: http://spamassassin.apache.org/
OK, fine. So mail spam filtering? Great! But mail isn't running on this computer and I'm not running a mail server either. So why is OS X Lion wanting to connect to this guy?

HT1657 why does every movie I download stops half way and says err=-50/err=-39?

Why does every movie I download stop half way and say err=-50/err-39? I also have internet connection that is really good and it keeps saying to check that

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

If you are using a USB hub, don't. Connect directly to the computer. Disconnect all other USB devices except for keyboard and mouse.

Why does every Apple update require a restart?

I vaguely remember a time when OS updates didn't require a complete restart every time you installed one. Why is it the case now? I have had 3 updates in the last 3 days and 3 restarts. The last one was updates to Quicktime, iLife Media browser and iDVD. None of which I would consider a critical components. OK Quicktime might have something in it but I doubt it.
UNIX is a great because of it modularity and the ability to update components without shutting everything else down. That's what makes it a great server platform. Yes I know occasionally the kernel and other core components need patching and in those cases a restart is required but why oh why does every Apple update of late require a restart?
Whomever answers (preferably from Apple) please be as technical as you like. I would much rather a real answer than bull.

Well, you dont have to believe it but that's what's happening. Many updates don't modify critical system files, but those that do will require a restart. Not all updates to QuickTime, for instance, have modified critical system files, so they've not required a restart. However, the latest version does do this, so the restart is required.
Likewise with iLife, the media browser is a core utility that is shared by the system and many applications and it's installation will require a restart. There are other similar shared resources as well which can get updated from time to time.

Hello,
Where may I be able to contact and speak with a prepaid representative? Strictly through phone calls? (I am at work 12 hours a day)
And I apologize for posting in the wrong area - I saw Apple support so I went here.
I'm almost certain my phone is the problem. I have gone through resetting the network settings a dozen times on my phone, even did it on my dad's. Now my texts are beginning to do the same when I text my fiance.
Resetting the network settings DOES work -- the problem is it will work for a day or two or for only a few hours - then I'll have to do it all over again.

Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours

Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours
I just got the iphone 4s...I have had two other iphones in the past and they did not take this long to sync. This is my first time connecting it to my computer.

8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time. What should I do next besides wait?

Why does my Time Capsule want to do COMPLETE backups every time?

I'm still new to this Time Capsule, only had it about a week, and i'm still trying to figure it out. I have an old LaCie Hd that i was using for my Time Machine backups before, with 2 partitions, for 2 different computers both running different OS's....1 Snow Leopard, and 1 Lion.
Now i just got this Time Capsule, and i am under the impression that i don't need to partition anything? I can't anyway, as it is a .sparseimage file. But i should be able to back up all my macs to the same Time Capsule HD. But why is it when i want to back up my Snow Leopard OS and/or Lion OS - that it wants to do a complete backup of all 400+ GB of stuff? I don't change any settings, i just let it do its thing, but when i look at it in the Time Machine/System Preferences it is gathering everything up and taking forever.
Why does it want to keep backing up my entie computer and not just what's new after the first initial backup? Thanks

Correct. Time Machine will make a separate sparse bundle for each Mac.
Why does it want to keep backing up my entie computer and not just what's new after the first initial backup?
The first backup of each Mac to the Time Capsule will be a full one (not just the changes since the last backup to the LaCie). And that's pretty slow over WIFI, so it's a good idea to do the first one via Ethernet.
Are you saying that both Macs' initial, full backups to the Time Capsule were completed, but subsequent ones are full backups again? If so, see #D7 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Why does every new download create new problems-is every user so advanced to be able to play tech-techs do not seem to get most either,they just keep playing wi

Every time something gets downloaded I loose something else or it makes unwanted changes with other things that were working fine but now are not. I am just a regular user with a PC and I am seeing techs do not know much about how to fix stuff either, they just keep playing with buttons until something happens hopefully for the better. It took me 2 days and several hours to figure out how to set up the Firefox download and now it suddenly recreated itself to a whole new look and I have to start all over again to fix it. Firefox works so much faster than my Internet Explorer but the Explorer is more user friendly and so much more simple to use. In the middle of all this my Windows Media Player did some kind of upgrade and now my Library looks like an Alien rewrote it to suit themselves. Push the wrong button and bye bye all my favorite stuff or it is rearranged and all separated out, lots of my stuff is mp3 seminars, not music and those are not even recognizable by the new downloads. Why is every new download more INVASIVE than the last. How about some basic standards & share? And look at what is in the box just below this one!!! What does that even mean? And No I do not want you to AUTOMATICALLY add anything/what and then open this & click on Allow /Install???? What will that interfere with? You need ordinary people users to be working with you to see if they can figure out what you are talking about? I used to love using my computer, too many changes one one top of the other is getting very annoying and expensive to fix. Keep it SIMPLE. Not everyone is a computer Nerd. And PS: How about some remote help or maybe that is a remote chance of help? And maybe I just wasted another 20mins writing this and only a computer will read it.......HELLO....IS ANYBODY OUT THERE?

Thank you for proving my point brilliantly. For the moment, I shall keep my rantings and the difficulties to myself because you obviously can not handle a bit of user's frustration. Too bad really, that you can not see it as an opportunity to make improvements and be a Hero in the process. I did say that Firefox works much faster, why did you not take that personally as well? ............. Another day, Slick ! ...........

Why does the Notes app want Keychain access?

Does anyone know why Notes wants keychain access? It started when I downgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. The dialong also won't accept 'no' for an answer. If I select "Deny" it just repeats the question and the only options are to close the program or allow access. Since it doesn't allow secure notes, why does it need the keychain, and why present a dialog with no choices?

Try going to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access/Secure Notes and see if there is an entry there. If so, you'll need to decide if you want to keep it or not.

Why does FF think I want to enter text in Cuban Spanish?

Whenever I restart Firefox, the first time I try to enter text into a web form, I see all my English words underlined as if they were misspellings. So I right click and go to pick the language. It is always set to Cuban Spanish! So I reset it to US English and all is well again until the next time I restart the browser. Then we seem, once again, to be back to Cuban Spanish! Why does it always think I want to enter text in Cuban Spanish? When I check Preferences, the only language pref I can find is always set to US English. I even searched prefs.js and can find nothing about Cuban Spanish there.

jscher2000: Thanks for that suggestion! Ok, this is getting stranger and stranger.
1. In about:config, spellchecker.dictionaries was set to es_CU.
2. I used right mouse in a form field->Languages and set it to English (US).
3. Went back to about:config. Now set to en_US.
4. Restarted Firefox.
5. Looked at about:config. Now still set to en_US.
6. Right mouse in a form field->Lanuages: Spanish (Cuba) is checked.
7. Back to about:config. Now says es_CU.
I think I found the dictionaries that are at the root of this. In /usr/lib/firefox is a symbolic link, dictionaries->/usr/share/hunspell, a directory. That contains a few .aff and .dic files and many symlinks pointing to those (including es_CU.dic and es_CU.aff). I think I've found the key and it appears to be quite gnome or Ubuntu-specific. I will see what packages those files belong to and take it from there. Thanks for all the help.
