  • Why does the iphone have such a small headphone jack!?

    The headphone jack on the iphone is not wide enough for any of my non apple headphones to fit. in fact the official apple cable i have for the ipod video does not even fit... this does not make much sense to me.
    also, on a side note, not being able to manually manage songs in itunes is very lame.

    Yeah, slight bummer..
    I have a pair of Shure E2c's that wouldn't fit until i took out the ol' razor and carefully trimmed the rubber back about a 1/4" so they would fit. If you can do this without destroying the integrity of the headphone, give it a shot. Or you could purchase an adaptor that works just as well..
    I chose the cheap way out.. I already spent $600 for the phone and $100 on the headphones, so I didn't want to spend another $10 for an adaptor.
    As far as manually managing music, I really don't see what the big deal is. I created playlists that I want synced and if I want to change something, I simply change it within the playlist and resync.. Does the same.. Don't see a real advantage to manually managing. That's just me though.

    For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
    The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs.  That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
    So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

  • Why doesn't iPhones have go keyboard

    Why doesn't iPhones have go keyboard

    Unless Apple decides to incorporate it with the iPhone and other iOS devices, 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone API's for security and other reasons which Google is clueless about with Android. The most insecure mobile operating system by far.
    Apple plans to incorporate some of that under iOS 8.

  • Why does my iphone have 10GB of other?

    Why does my iphone have 10GB of "other"???

    In my case, after upgrading to iOS 5 I had no music or video. But plugged into iTunes I could see 5gb of 'other'
    When I clicked on Music in the device I could see all my music listed. I clicked on a track and pressed play and it worked. Then looked at the phone and it had all been miraculously restored (although I am having to reinstall most of it because the artwork in most cases won't show.
    It was the same with the apps. Until I downloaded a new app, none of my existing ones would work. What a wonderful experience this iPhone upgrading is turning out to be!!!

  • Why is my iphone saying not subscribed to a mobile data service

    why is my iphone saying not subscribed to a mobile data service

    Most likely because it is not subscribed to a mobile data service.
    Check with your cell carrier to ensure that your cell data plan is properly provisioned or get a new SIM for it.

  • Why does my iPhone shows "restricted" on other people's phone when I call them?

    Why does my iPhone shows "restricted" on other people's phone when I call them?

    Lena the only previous e-mail message was on Tuesday Dec 30 which stated…..
    Lets get your Caller ID to work as it should! I will send you a private message so that we can better assist.
    This e-mail states  that another ‘private message’ presumably via e-mail would be sent/received but I haven’t received anything else from an e-mail perspective. Presumably it is just a matter of navigating through a low number of settings to get to the caller-id option.
    Thank you,

  • IPhone 6 prioritizes poor 4G Connection over strong network extender 3G signal

    I use the network extender due to poor coverage in my basement.  I have spent multiple hours with both Verizon and Apple trying to figure out why sometimes my iPhone 6 won't connect to it, including a hard reset of the iPhone.  I finally figure out that the iPhone 6 prioritizes getting a 4g connection, not matter how poor, over a 3g connection, no matter how strong.  As a result, my phone will occasionally latch on to a weak 4g signal and not connect to the Network Extender.  When I then get or make a call, the connection and voice quality is terrible.  The only work around is to completely turn off LTE.  This forces connection to the 3G Network Extender.  Of course, I then forget to turn it back on when I leave the house.  Are there any plans to provide some sort of a fix or a setting to make this more convenient?

    PROBLEM SOLVED (so far). My wifes iphone 6 plus had the exact same issue. . .would keep going back to the weak 4G signal over the network extender.
    To fix it, go into SETTINGS>CELLULAR>Enable LTE and set to DATA ONLY. . .NOT Voice and Data.
    So far so good. . .only affects being able to make calls and surf the web at the same time, so if you don't do that much then you're not going to be inconvenienced too badly.
    Hope it works for you!  Also, if the iPhone 6plus is like my Note3, then it has 2 antennas, 1 that's hooked into 4G and the other one that's connected to the network extender. . .it defaults to the 4G signal, so it may only show minimal bars till you actual make or receive a phone call then it'll jump to the network extender signal strength.
    Good luck!

  • Why does my iphone have poor coverage and other phones work good

    i have two AT&T phones, 1 iphone 4 and the other a motorola tundra for work. My question is why does the Motorola tundra have 100% signal and my iphone go in and out of service continually....from 3g to no service and then to E network then back to O network and then to no signal at all. very frustrating

    Open the App, then try the settings and options within the Game.

  • Why do I have such poor/sporatic signal strength?

    I have an iBook G4, and ever since I bought it i have had trouble with wireless connections. In my home, a small one bedroom apartment, I have and airport station. Connected to this is an external antenne. This is hooked up to a PC. My laptop has an airport extreme card. I have double checked and the card as well as the airport base station are installed correctly.
    I am able to connect to the internet in my apartment. However, my wireless signal is always very weak. I am currently less than ten feet away from the base station and I am at less than half signal strength. Inside of my bedroom, approximatly twenty feet away from the base station I have little or no signal strength depending on what part of the room I am in. The signal strength varies constantly and does not allow me to connect to the internet.
    My boyfriend has a PC laptop and is able to connect fine anywhere in the apartment. Also, he is able to detect several other wireless networks, where as I am only able to detect one.
    When I am outside of my home and attempt to use hotspots, at school or coffee shops, I have little or no signal strength and am almost never able to connect to the internet for more than five minutes at a time, if at all.... All around me I always see PC users, as well as other Mac users serfing the internet without trouble.
    How can I fix this? Should I buy a replacement airport extreme card? Is there any external USB devices that would help?
    Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide. I am desperate and will take any suggestions.

    Hi Kat,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    An improperly inserted antenna is the usual cause of weak signals. It takes considerable force to get it all the way in. This article illustrates a properly attached antenna.

  • How can a communications company have such poor communications?

    Hello Verizin,
    I received an email titled, "Your Order Conformation" that lists the two iPhone 6 models I ordered. The status states that the order is waiting for credit card verification, etc. When I open my Verizon account it shows no order has been made.
    Have my phones been ordered or not. The estimated delivery date for these two phones when I ordered them was 10/7. Is that still happening? I'm planning to trade in my two iPhones for your promised $200 certificates. Evidently your computer systems don't talk with each other because the trade in department doesn't see my order and said they can't mail the boxes for me to mail in my trade in phones because they have no proof that I ordered these iPhones. Obviously someone didn't see a need to communicate between ordering and trade ins nor did they feel that communication with your customers was important. This is pathetic for a "communications" company.
    The other issue is how can I trade in my iPhones by September 30th if my iPhone 6 models aren't going to be shipped by then? It sounds to me that there is a discrepancy in all this. Obviously the program wasn't well thought out our you are doing another poor job on communicating with your customers.
    My wife and I have been customers with Verizon for a long time. We used to carry around one of those big Motorola phones and were limited to ten minutes of talk time on our plan. It seems that Verizon no longer truly cares about our loyalty to your company. We're not asking for anything special. We just want Verizon to follow through with their promise to provide a "free" iPhone 6 to those have iPhones that meet the requirements. Our iPhones are in perfect condition. Once the cases and film over the screens are removed no one will be able to tell if they have ever been used. Perhaps it's time we started looking at the offerings of other carriers. Maybe we won't get new iPhone 6 models but at this point it's a matter of truthfulness in advertising. Quite frankly I'd love to stay with Verizon but if you can't come through with your promises after all our years with your company, why should we.
    Thank you for listening to our side of this issue. We eagerly await your timely response to our questions above. 

        SamuelAdams, I'm sorry for any confusion this promotion has caused. I'd be happy to set you on the right path. My Verizon will not display the order under your order history until a tracking number has been assigned. You are still able to track your order's status with your confirmation number here: http://vz.to/1svqRov
    We realize that due to shipment being pushed back, you may not receive the new iPhone in time to ship your old iPhone to us. Don't worry, we have factored this into our Trade-in offer. We are only asking that you submit your appraisal on or before September 30, 2014. We are asking that you ship your old iPhone to us before December 1, 2014, which will leave you with enough time to set up your new device and ensure your information has been backed up. You can view this information here under "iPhone Trade-In Promotion" under number 2: http://vz.to/1q0nyxQ
    I would still like to confirm the status of your order since you mentioned it was pending credit card verification. I have sent you a direct message, please reply to my message if you still need assistance.

  • Why do iPhoto slideshows have such low resolution?

    I have used iPhoto to make slideshows. When you preview the slideshow the resolution is great, but when you actually create the slideshow the images are really low res. Why? iDvd does the same thing, what is up? Does version 6 have better res on slideshows? And I've tried using the Ken Burns effect and it works fine if you select it in the settings menu, but when you don't select it and just select on specific photos, why won't the effect work?

    Download the latest itunes from the apple website and install to your computer. Then once done, connect your phone to your computer via your usb cord and itunes should open up and recognise it. If not open the itunes program and you'll see on the left hand side of the screen it will have a "DEVICE"  option and your iphone should show. From here select your phone and it should bring it up showing your name, phone serial etc and then will show if there are any available updates. You may be prompt to login to your apple id account and register your phone with your account.
    From there just select the downlaod software icon (if any available)

  • Why does my iphone have duplicate songs with an icon?

    Recently I've noticed something on my iPhone.  Maybe it's been there all along, who knows.  But here's the deal: if I buy an album on iTunes for Mac, and sync my iPhone, the album on he phone looks bizarre:
    As you can see, there's a duplicate of each track, with a circle icon.  If I try and play this circle icon, it tells me I need to be connected to WiFi or something.
    Points of note:
    1. Under "Store" in the iPhone settings, I've turned off automatic downloads of everything.  I found that if this was enabled, my iPhone would download new music and would get a second copy sync'd by iTunes.  Fail for iTunes/iPhone recognising the same album I guess..?
    2. Every so often, my iPhone is now asking me for my Apple ID password - no special reason I can see,it just pops up and asks me.  This might be related.
    3. I haven't purchased/turned on iTunes Match anywhere (iCloud).
    I'm wondering if it's got spectacularly confused somewhere, if it thinks maybe it should be streaming this album from my Mac, or downloading it from the Store, even if it's already got a copy.
    How can I make it stop?  It's annoying in the extreme.  Sure, it's not as bad as not having food on the table, pretty much a first world problem,but not what I'd expect from the thing.  I'm happy to blow the device away and restart it as a fresh iPhone, not quite sure how to do that, but I'm open to all suggestions that might show how to fix the problem.
    Thanks

    i wondered the same thing.
    You have to go to the "Restrictions" page of your device's Settings and make sure "iTunes" is turned on. 
    This is why it only happened on my children's iPods and not on mine. 
    The reason a full restore works is that it resets all your passwords and allows everything automatically until you reset the restrictions again.
