I find myself saying please and thank you to her. :blink:

I just did the upgrade to Lion last week in prep for the phone so the OS's could chat with each other. Something not highly publicized is that if you want it (the phone) to play nice with iPhoto that has to be upgraded also, not very expensive either, but a consideration.

For cloud storage I spread things around a bit not wanting all of my eggs in one basket. A combination of Dropbox, Evernote, Google docs, and now iCloud, seems to cover my needs without going out of pocket.

And yes, my phone is much smarter than I am.


:balloon:

Well, for this mornings time changeover my mac rolled back an hour as it should, but the phone went back two hours.

:confused:

That is why I never push my machines past their native install. Well, unless you count Linux on a Windows crapper. Ok, well, and jailbreaking, but that's it. I think.

I was eligible for an upgrade and so I caved and got the 4s. Siri is loads of fun! We asked her where to burry a dead body and she came up with three nearby cemetaries. We also asked her how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. (omg) she replied with, "why do people keep asking me that?" lol.

It comes with iCloud already installed, which was super useful, but the battery only lasts for about 26 hours and that's without any apps open. Otherwise I am loving it!!

I think I'm going to cave soon and get the 4s. I'm still on the 3g, and it's driving me up the wall. The music screen keeps freezing, and I'm having to reboot my phone at least once a day, usually while on the bus at 7:30am while trying to balance my phone, coffee, umbrella, and purse while not falling over. Ack.

iMess with siri...
 

siri provides hours (ok minutes) of entertainment while waiting or simply to impress those around...

Oh, excellent! I loved not having to charge my 4g all the time. I ended up getting a car charger since I drive so much these days.

Ah, great, one of my exes as a computer generated voice.

One of my students said that iCloud crashed last week and caused a major problem for many iPhone users. Same thing with Siri. Over 4 million users were trying to use her at the same time. :seeingstars:

Cool apple thoughts here. woohooo! I want to get an iphone real soon. Which should I go with the 4 or 4 s .. and what apps or upgrades should I definitely get for it??

siri sounds like soo much fun!!

Have loved the apple computers I've had in the past and also my ipod classic and itunes!!

Anybody use a car adapter for their ipods. I've had a couple different ones but they haven't really worked well. :(

I agree, let them work out the bugs first.

Hi Ruffy,

I use an adapter with my iphone since my ipod tunes are all on it. I also like to listen to pandora so it works nicely. Do you want me to look and see what kind of adaptor it is?

I would recommend the 4s since it's so much faster and has a ton to offer. And of course you get Siri. ;) Your app choices are so vast it's hard to recommend something without knowing all your likes and dislikes. I have tons of games on mine since my girls are always playing them on the way to school. I also have food apps, art apps and science apps. I'm a bit app happy at times! ;)

Do you have an Apple store nearby? It's nice to go in and chat up a family room rep so they can help you pick out what would work best for you!

Where'd you hear that, Incubus?

I just use the Apple plug and plug it into my USB port.

I feel much the same way, CD. A phone is pretty much a phone to me. Now when they make one that can whip me up a nice hot pumpkin latte first thing in the morning, I'll be all over that 'ish!!

Yeah, I never purchase first generation anything.

Sadly, I don't think I can wait till next year for the 5. I think I would be happy with one of the older versions of the iphone anyway. I currently have an android and have had it for a year. I love all the apps I can have on it and I don't see anything wrong with a Droid. I just like Apple stuff and think I'd rather switch now. My android is shutting off on me a lot daily, so it's time for a new phone and I have decided based on a poll that I would rather get the iphone than a droid this time around. the only thing I'm gonna miss is the option to have a touch screen and a keyboard. My phone mostly is used for texting and facebooking so I love the keyboard option, but I think I can get used to just the touch screen given that I'm sure the iphone is fun with all the apps and stuff that can go on it.

thanks for all the info. everybody I will check out the USB adapter. I've heard that lots of people use Pandora too. How does that all work? Can you actually play it through car speakers with this USB adapter? Doesn't your car have to have a USB port? Sure Catalina, if you can provide a link or picture that would be awesome. TY!

Yes, I do have a store near me, sooo fun! :balloon:

New cars have a USB adaptor built in. You can also buy a light plug that converts to a USB port. If you have a newer car too, you likely have the capability to connect your iPhone wirelessly to the speaker and radio via bluetooth. Old school cars can use a USB-slash-audio adaptor cord, assuming you can locate the female port of your speaker input in the car dash.

oops, my car has one of those pluggy things built in so all i have to do is plug it in to my phone or use the bluetooth. the only thing about having the bluetooth on is that it picks up all my phone calls and routes them through the radio. i will be talking and the call will drop out mid sentence and then scare the shit outta me when it blasts through the radio! :seeingstars:

Yes, that is my understanding.

what if I could buy an iphone 4 for 99.00. but there is no box and they would possibly throw in some accessories would anyone do it?

could I get them to turn it on see if it works , what should I look for?

Also, does anyone have verizon as a carrier and are you paying more than 80.00 per month with an iphone ? I'm not talking about a family plan or anything just an individual.

thanks!

iOS 5.0.1 came out today so look into updating if your battery is not behaving. I believe this is the one that will have that fix.

I got this in my email.. anyone? Help!
 

LEGAL NOTICE

If you are the original owner of certain MacBook or MacBook Pro computers and/or you purchased a standalone 60W or 85W MagSafe power adapter for these computers, you could be entitled to benefits under a class action settlement

The settlement will provide a cash payment if you are the original owner (by purchase or gift) of certain Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro computer models (“Subject Computer”) or separately purchased an Apple 60W or 85W MagSafe “T” Power Adapter (“Adapter”), your Adapter showed signs of Strain Relief Damage, and you purchased an Adapter as a replacement (“Replacement Adapter”) within three years of purchasing the Subject Computer or Adapter. You may also be able to obtain a replacement adapter at no charge from Apple if your Adapter shows signs of Strain Relief Damage now or in the future. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California authorized this notice. The Court will have a hearing to consider whether to approve the settlement, so that the benefits may be paid.

WHO’S AFFECTED?

You’re a “Class Member” if you are a United States resident who purchased in the United States an Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro computer or an Apple 60W or 85W MagSafe MPM-1 (“T”) Power Adapter.

WHAT’S THIS ABOUT?

The lawsuit claimed that the MagSafe “T” Adapter is defective in that it allegedly “dangerously frays, sparks and prematurely fails to work,” and that Apple engaged in misrepresentations regarding the Adapter. Apple denies all allegations and has asserted many defenses. Apple is entering into this settlement to avoid burdensome and costly litigation. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.

WHAT CAN YOU GET FROM THE SETTLEMENT?

Apple has agreed to provide a cash payment to Class Members who purchased a Replacement Adapter for a Subject Computer or Adapter covered by the settlement and who send in a valid claim form. The settlement provides for different cash payments depending on when you purchased a Replacement Adapter.

YEAR REPLACEMENT ADAPTER PURCHASED
CASH PAYMENT AMOUNT
YEAR 1
THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT ADAPTER (EXCLUDING TAX & SHIPPING) UP TO $79
YEAR 2
$50
YEAR 3
$35

There is a limit of three refunds per Subject Computer.

You may also be able to obtain a replacement adapter at no charge from Apple if your Adapter shows signs of Strain Relief Damage now or in the future.

HOW DO YOU GET A PAYMENT?

A detailed notice and claim form package contains everything you need. Just call 1-888-332-0277 or go to www.AdapterSettlement.com to get one.

HOW DO YOU GET A REPLACEMENT ADAPTER?

If your Adapter shows signs of Strain Relief Damage now or in the future, you may claim a replacement under Apple’s Adapter Replacement Program by taking your Adapter and computer to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider or contacting AppleCare. Strain Relief Damage means fraying, melting, straining, sparking, weakening, discoloration, bubbling, overheating and/or separation of the Adapter’s strain reliefs.

IMPORTANT DEADLINES

To claim a cash payment, you must mail the claim form postmarked on or before March 21, 2012. To obtain a Replacement Adapter, you must contact Apple within three years from the date you purchased a Subject Computer or standalone Adapter, or May 21, 2012, whichever is later; no claim form is required. If you do not claim a cash payment or Replacement Adapter within these time periods, you will lose your right to obtain these benefits.

WHAT ARE YOUR OPTIONS?

If you don’t want to make a claim and you don’t want to be legally bound by the settlement, you must postmark your request to exclude yourself by January 6, 2012, or you won’t be able to sue, or continue to sue, Apple about the legal claims in this case. If you exclude yourself, you will not be eligible to receive a payment from this settlement.

If you stay in the Class, you may object to the settlement. Objections must be received by January 6, 2012. The detailed notice describes how to exclude yourself or object. The Court will hold a hearing in this case (In re MagSafe Power Adapter Litigation, Case No. C09-01911-JW) on February 27, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. to consider whether to approve (1) the settlement and (2) attorneys’ fees and expenses of up to $3.1 million and service payments to Plaintiffs of $5,000 each (not to exceed $30,000). You may appear at the hearing, but you don’t have to. To obtain a full notice and claim form, go to www.AdapterSettlement.com or call toll free 1-888-332-0277.
