Why would the Samsung Epic 4G have better reception than the iPhone 5 at my house, when both phones are using the same Sprint service?
I recently changed phones, from a Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G to an iPhone 5. I kept the same Sprint service. After changing phones, I found that the reception in my house with the iPhone 5 was considerably poorer than it was with the Epic 4G. In fact, my iPhone is next to useless for talking on the phone when I am at home, whereas I rarely had a problem with the Epic 4G.
I think it’s safe to say that Sprint's signal strength at my house hasn’t changed. With both phones, I saw about the same number of bars (one or two), which makes sense to me. In addition, my wireless network (run by Time Capsule) has not changed. All that changed was the phone ... and the quality of the reception.
Any ideas as to why the Epic 4G had better reception in my house than the iPhone 5? Maybe I just have something set up wrong.
Thanks.
You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

Iphone question
my my incoming phone calls are being shared with my wife's IPhone as well, both phones are getting the same call, how do I correct?
thanksThat is a new feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and changing "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off.
You may also want to look into using separate Apple IDs for you and your wife. That is now more flexible with new Family Sharing features: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/ -
I have my iPhoto set to an external drive, when it was in use the usb disconected as i was moving my mac air, when i re-conected a message said (your photo library is either in use by another application or has become unreadable).
I have tried shutting it down and then re opening iPhoto but get the same message.
The reason for the external drive was there was not enough room on my hard drive, I have around 7000 photos on it.
is there a simple fix?
Regards
DaleThese are your options:
1. Restore the iPhoto library from the most recent backup that predates the issue.
Advantages: Always works, if library damage is causing the problem and the backup is intact.
Disadvantages: Impossible if you don't have a backup. All changes made since the backup are lost.
2. Repair or rebuild the library. Be sure to back it up first.
Advantages: May solve the problem with no loss of data.
Disadvantages: May fail. May take a long time if the library is large.
3. Scavenge the library with a third-party application called "iPhoto Library Manager," which you can find in a web search. From the application's menu bar (not the iPhoto menu bar), select Library ▹ Rebuild.
Advantages: All images and albums should be preserved.
Disadvantages: All books, calendars, and slideshows will be lost. -
What is the point of connecting an AirPort Express to a printer when you could just use AirPrint from an iPhone?
All you guys are mistaking the Airprint system. Wireless printing is a Misnomer. Nothing prints wirelessly. Both the printer and the computer, or i or android device have to be all connected to the same LAN. They can be connected by a wire or a WiFi signal but they all must be on the same LAN.
Airprint is a Driverless printing system where No Specific Printer drivers have to be installed on the computer or other device. Even with the Airprint system both the printer and the device you are printing from have to be on the same LAN. -
Can I move/rescale more than one still image all together, when they will all use the same parameter
Okay, basically, I like to make small, simple movies for my DVD menus. I make these with premiere CS5.5. They are just a series of stills as a slide show, with appropriate music. What makes these so time consuming is this: I have maybe twenty pics, which I take from MovieMaker as this is quick, simple, and they are not too large (and I dont know how to take pics in premiere, but you can tell me if you like!). However, they are placed by default in the centre, and I need them a bit to one side to make space for the DVD buttons. Also, still a bit big so maybe reduce to 90 percent. I presume they are basically JPEGS even though moviemaker calls them something else. So, I have to highlight each pic individually, open the motion thingy, rescale, and enter new figures in the position fields. Not a big issue as such, but I have to do it for each one and put my self at risk of repetitive strain injury! Can I do them all at once? Is there a way? Bearing in mind I want them all same size and position, so exactly the same parameters. First time, I thought EASY!! I will just group them all together and do it in one! Guess what? Grouping disables the scale/reposition facility. Grouping seems to be merely an aid for dragging things together on the timeline. Just a simple linking process. Photoshop lets me link layers in this kind of way, but also has the group facility that is more serious, and lets you do transforming and all sorts, treating it as one object. Is there a premiere equivalent of 'group into smart object'? I suppose what I am asking is relevent to clips as well as pics, and other facilities apart from scaling and moving. So, if you want to do the SAME process with the SAME parameters to SEVERAL parts of the project, is there a way? Or does it have to be one by one? I cant find a way apart from rendering and reimporting which wouldn't save a lot of time anyway. Thanks. HOWARD
PS if there is a 'snapshot' facility in premiere, please tell me how, and is it necessary to copy the footage and take the pics from the copy? I have always done this with moviemaker as I discovered that once snapshots were taken, it did (sometimes) damage the frame of the footage, Hence I make a copy to use for pic-picking!I completey agree with Jim Simon's suggestion regarding a Premiere Pro solution. I think however I would choose to do it in Photoshop with a script - Record the following actions and then you can apply that action to selected images or even more handy, all photos in a folder:
Image / Size (to start exactly the pixel H x W you want for the image)
Image / Canvas size (for example anchor right or left, adjust width larger than current image, canvas extension color = black, etc.)

When attempting to edit a phot I pushed the red eye removal tool. The iPhone went black and the apple logo appeared. I had to hold down the power button for about 5 seconds to turn it back on but it never completely shut off this happened the next 3 times as well. It happened after I updated to 5.1
Are you running modified software on your phone? This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

Why would you think java is a better beginner language then c/c++ ???.
Why would you think java is a better beginner language then c/c++.That is if you think it is
1.)because it stear's you towards useing oop style programing.
since nearly everything relate's to object oriented programing.
2.)this forum alone. is a reason thier are comprehensive example's for beginers. and so many people many very freindly and dont mind answering a question. Other beginners are here also who share what they know with each other.
3.)learing curve for useing the language and geting started immediately is good.
4.)once you learn java and then goto c++ you have another probably better perspective on how to code.
5.)codeing in java avoids deconstructors pointers and direct manipulation of reference's. which can be very confuseing for beginers
and deals with variables that directly point to the computer's memory.
and proper deallocation of memory.
though im just a begginer myself i started trying c++ and switched to java.
however thier are somethings in java that can be as complex as c++
when pointers or reference's are needed but not available. -
I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S5 two months ago. I'm still unable to sync or move contacts from the phone into my 2012 Toyota Camry. I've been to the dealership to have them look at my car. It also has been tried in 2 different 2014 models. I don't know if it's a Verizon/Samsung issue but I'm quite upset about it. I would have stayed with the S4 if I had know so many issues were on the horizon. I need a fix. Please help.@

I recently bought a new i phone 4 as my other one had seen beter days and for the last sevral days have been trying to transfer my photos ect from my old phone to my new one after I've plugged my old iPhone into iTunes to back it up i then plug in my one to transfer it over I've had no luck I've tryed restoring my new phone to the last time i backed up my old files the phone restores but always to its own backup point wen i first connected it to iTunes can anyone help me please?
Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).

I have two pnones on my account...my iPhone 4 and my wife's crappy old Samsung. I pre-ordered an iPhone 4S and plan to give my iPhone 4 to my wife and I will use the new 4S. How do I switch the 4 to her number once I make the switch to a new 4S?
Just call yur provider and they will set it up with you.
This is what I do, when I get a new iphone and give mine to my wife. -

I already have ios 7.0 installed in my iphone 4S. Although the size of ios 7.0.2 shows only a few MB, but when i click update using from my itunes it shows it is downloading 1.19GB. Why is this ? Do i have to download 1.19 GB?
If you update using iTunes, the full iOS is downloaded. If you update directly on your phone, this is called a "Delta" update, & only the changes to the iOS are downloaded. That's why you see the difference you see.

Both my iPod and my MacBookPro connect with my home Wi-Fi but my iPad will not even after entering the passcode. I have tried Full shutdown and tried other Wi-Fi's for which I had the correct passcode. My iPad would not connect. Any suggestions?
Hi! I am having the same problem. What's odd is that a few days ago- the ipad was connecting to the network fine. No changes made. Other devices can connect to this network. I have also been able to connect my ipad to other networks.
I have reset all network settings, reset my ipad, reset the router, hard stop reboot, turn on/off wifi connection. what's interesting is that when i click the arrow next to the network i am trying to log onto- the ip address, router, and dns numbers come up automatically and the router number does not fill in (also- this process takes a long time- at least 5 minutes).
any thoughts? -
I have asked my local carrier 1010 about their LTE service and they said the frequency of their 4G is actually matched with iPad 4th gen but it was Apple who decided to limit their latest iPad and iPad mini 4G LTE to certain carriers but not CSL and PCCW. I think it is extremely unfair to customers who bought the the latest iPad or iPad mini(from apple store but not from telecom company) presuming they can use the 4G LTE feature.
So it's Apple's fault that you did no basic research or made any effort to find out if your carrier supported the iPad?
