Why is my battery life so bad on my iphone 4s. I signed up for a 2 yr contract with a new iphone 4s. The battery life didn't last a day. I went back to Apple and they replaced it with another iphone 4s. This one is just as bad. The iOS 5.0.1 does nothing!
I have never been so disappointed with an Apple Product such as the Iphone 4s. When I signed up with a new 2 year contract, I received my iphone 4s. I charged it fully the night before, then it didn't even last the day (with minimal usage). I turned off Location Services, Wi Fi, and Bluetooth, this helped a bit. But what is the point of turning these services off, when I NEED THEM!!! The wonderful new Siri doesn't work properly without Location Services turned on.
So I upgraded to the iOS 5.0.1. version - that did absolutely nothing to assist the battery life.
Apple, what are you going to do about it? My new Apple phone is a LEMON!
If I had of known how bad the battery life is on the iphone 4s, I would have got a Samsung Galaxy 2!!!!!
It doesn't really matter whether I am talking to Apple or not (and I'm sure they monitor these comments), I want everyone to know how bad this new iphone 4s is, and all of it's problems.
Apple have already launched an upgrade to the software - it obviously did not help, as many around the world would concur.
As far as being patient and waiting for another "update in the works" is concerned, it is just not satisfactory. This is not a cheap phone, and those who are experiencing these problems, should not have to be paying a substantial amount of money, for a very smart phone, that obviously, has some serious problems.

You need to pay your mobile network provider for the calls, SMS and data you need to use your phone. This is an ongoing charge, usually paid monthly.
This is nothing to do with Apple. Apple only provided the handset - not the mobile network you use it on. -
The following addons appear to have been permanently corrupted by upgrading to firefox beta 5:
Too Many Tabs (TMT)
Session Manager
Tab Utilities
I had others, but have been disabled since before the upgrade.
The problems:
I can't scroll through either webpages or through tabs (that may be an addon feature), the display looks way off, like the resolution inside the window is smaller (not sure how to describe), the options window from the tools menu gave a blank firefox brown window w/ OK/Cancel buttons, the addons/extension window became a tab I couldn't close, and clicking on the Feedback under Help menu did nothing - I had to go to Help>Restart w/ addons disabled to make it work.
I'm running:
Win XP
4gb RAM
3.2ghz dual core
ATI 4200 integrated graphics
Uptime = ~6.5hrs
What I did:
I installed latest beta (today). Problems arose (see details). I uninstalled beta. Installed previous beta. Problems continued. Uninstalled beta. Problems continued. Uninstalled version 4. Reinstalled and problems continued.It sounds to me like there are two separate processes being intertwined above:
1. Setting up your daughter's MacBook with identifying info; e.g., Apple ID for the user account on that machine.
2. Transferring the iTunes library (a very different operation).
Have you used Apple's Migration Assistant to move your daughter's information from her old machine to the MacBook? That would have avoided this whole issue.
If not, either start the process over and use Migration Assistant, or try to more carefully and precisely define exactly what you did to accomplish this transition. You said, for example, "there was already an Apple ID assigned to this computer." That statement almost certainly did not originate with iTunes. -

If you used this email address as an Apple ID to buy content; music, videos, apps, etc., then that is the only Apple ID that can be used with that content as far as updating or redownloading.

trying to get some attention from Apple...I called apple and posted a support ticket and after a week don't have any response...don't feel safe that someone can get into my itunes account...is this a problem for anyone else? and has apple responded regarding a hacked account?
I agree, whenever i had any issues with Amazon, their support responded right away. From everything that i've been reading on the various threads related to a hacked account, i notice 2 things...first is that they ignore you until you can "scream" loud enough and get their attention and second is if you get their attention, you are guilty until you can prove your innocence with Apple.
too bad since apple makes great products but their service starting to fall off. -
My daughter has a new Iphone 5 and we share an ITunes account. She logged on to my Icloud Account and deleted all my contacts this morning. Can i restore this as I now only have her friends as my contacts?
No, data like Email, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes are only synced between devices and not included in icloud backups, so unfortunately you won't be able to restore them. Please see also: iCloud storage and backup overview: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519/

When I send or receive e-mails, the icon showing that there is an attachment with the e-mail may or may not appear. I have contacted Apple and they do not have a solution for this issue. This is a huge problem for me.
No, the senders are in most case sending from corporate servers which are almost certainly not Mac based. Also, remember this happens when I send or receive. So if I send something with an attachment, the attachment will go through, but the sent box will not show the paper clip icon so that I can distinguish the emails sent with attachments versus the emails sent without attachments. I receive the attachments as well, but again the paper clip icon does not show up so that I can distinguish the emails that I have received that contain attachments. Recipients of my e-mails have complianed that when they receive an attachment from me they do not see the paper clip icon which alerts them to the fact that the email contains an attachment.

I did all 5 steps and they didn't work so I went into apple and they basically told me they could send it away but it was probably unfixable and i'd have to pay for to replace it (180 dollars). I've only had th iphone 4s for two weeks over a year, am I seriously expected to pay for their broken product after one year of use??

Yes, that was the terms of the warranty that you accepted when you purchased the phone. You had the option to purchase an extended warranty that would have covered it for 2 years, but you chose not to. -
The time and date issues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Every times I went to Apple store, the phone automatically works good time, but when I came back, my phone is working very slow with wrong time!
I want to get a new iPhone to replace this defective phone. I am gonna be crazzzzzzzyyyyyyyy with anger,!!!,!,,,! I takes2 hours to go to Regent street apple stores for three times!!!!!. It is a lot of transport fees !
PLz tell me why! How to deal with it !Unless it's confirmed officially that your phone is defective, then you can ask for a replacement. Or you have to live with you. However you can trade it for a new one if you don't care the price drop.

my battery went dead- I plugged in it. several hours later I went back to it and it wasn't on. instead the only thing on the screen was a picture of the plug in and the icon itunes on top of it. I have no idea what that means. My phone will not turn on even after I hold both buttons. i was told a while back that the i7 program can mess this up and to hold both buttons down to reboot the phone. I tried this but even this isn't working. Any ideas?

I went to Mac Store and had replaced hard drive because I encountered 4HDD ERROR(hard drive failure). I had backed up my old hard drive by TIME MACHINE regularly. Now how can I restore everything I had?
Thanks for your response.
I had tried COMMAND+ALT+R which led me to directly to INTERNET RECOVERY via wifi. After 1 hour or so it dropped me at the same point.
I've tried MIGRANT ASSISTANCE as well, it kept on LOOKING FOR OTHER COMPUTERS even though I clicked on TIME MACHINE BACK UP USING EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
so what to do now?
P.S. Guys at MacStore were so careless to even listen to me when I asked them about retrieving back up :(
Please help -
Although photo appears beautiful on phone screen, when reviewed in gallery, half the picture has a large line going through it. Any ideas? I went to VZN and they replaced my first new phone 3 days ago for this same issue.
I'm sorry your pictures appear different in your gallery sillyymom. I know its frustrating with viewing important images. Are you using a 3rd party picture application? do you have any apps that may be conflicting with your pictures. Have you tried to review your picture settings?
