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!
If you're buying from dude off craigslist or something...no. If you're getting it from a carrier you'd probably be okay, but I'd find out why it's not in its box.

We have Verizon but we're on a family plan so I'm not much help on this one. You could probably do it for under 80 depending on how many minutes you need and how much texting you do. Keep in mind though, that texting to another iPhone is free so if a lot of your textees are iPhone users you can get by with a minimal texting plan.

I have the pandora app on my iPhone that I only use at home. That way I'm connecting to my network rather than Verizon's and I don't eat at my data plan.

A really cool app, especially if your not particularly good with music *coughArwencough* is Shazam. You can "tag" songs on the radio to find out the name of the song and the artist. It'll also give you the option to buy the song (from iTunes, of course).

Another app that I really like, and have had since my 3G, is called Around Me. It's basically a locator app and if you have it set to use your current location you can search for things near you (either by name or category), wherever you are. I hadn't used it a whole lot since since I got the 4S, but when Siri took a couple hours off the other day, I was glad I still had it.

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. For more details, go to www.AdapterSettlement.com or contact Helen Zeldes, Esq., Zeldes & Haeggquist, LLP, 625 Broadway, Suite 906, San Diego, CA 92101, 619-342-8000 or contact Steven A. Skalet, Esq., Mehri & Skalet, PLLC, 1250 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20036, 202-822-5100.

This only applies to MagSafe Power Adapters that have cracked. There was a history of some cracking due to heat from charging.

I WOULD NOT BUY IT. sounds to much of a scam.

I have heard ( its been awhile ) that phone was being sold like this but once the person got the phone, the "guts" was empty.

the inside had no components to make it work.

I SAW THAT!

Bon Jovi?
AC/DC?
Garth Brooks?

Perfectly valid guesses for the same song...

Mine's improved but part of it is some simple steps. I found deleting the iCloud stuff reduced battery drain considerably. Also regular full drain (once a month) helps keep the battery conditioned. If you do a quick "doubleclick" on the Home button, you can see which apps are still "running". Holding one of them down allows you to force the select app to exit from the Home "bar"

I don't have the iCloud turned on, unless I want to update something specifically. I didn't even know the home "bar" existed till now. Thanks, Linus.

It was interesting. I didn't have it on either and yet, it sucked up resources. I had a discussion with a colleague and he believes that Apple was regularly pinging "home".

Thank you!
if you double click the home button the bottom bar activates. Now press one of the icons until you see round red circles with a minus on the left of each icon. Just start tapping those and it will close that app from running. It will not delete, just stop it from running in the background. You'll be amazed how many stay running long after you close them.


I found a cool app for Iphone 4. It's a Flashlight! I think its even called Flashlight and its 99 cents. I couldn't believe how powerful it was. I won;t use it all the time but it sure is nice to have when you need it. Its BRIGHT!

I finally broke down and got an ipad. I also stopped buying big clunky desktops and heavy laptops. I like the feeling of being able to move about. I might start in my bed, move to the porch, sit by the barn or by the fireplace. I'm doing everything wireless even my printer and set up an old desktop with external drive to store everything. I can easily send everything across the network. On the rare occasions I need photoshop or the like I'll go to my old desktop but most of the time I'll use pixlar right online.

Flashlight is very awesome. There are a few other apps that do the same plus emergency flashing of the light.

There is a Photoshop app (called PS Express) and a few other graphic manipulation apps (ColorSplash is my favourite along with Hipstamatic). I'm getting close to going without a laptop/desktop except for my desire to play Warcraft.

Linus, I'm having trouble getting my iPad to sync with iTunes, it simply will not do it. The darn thing gives me an unknown error 13019. Any ideas o' Master of the i World? I do have a crack in the top left face of the screen and I'm 'bout ready to just take it to the Apple Chapel.

WOW I had all of my apps running, that's nuts! How do you exit out of the app so this doesn't happen again.

I want and don't want an Ipad, tell me I don't need one.

You really don't Dee. Even when you signout of yahoo it keeps the app running in the background. I did see some battery saving apps which perhaps automate this process but to be honest I worry about cliches. I need to check it out some more.

No one really needs an ipad, per se. I don't "need" one but had a chance to get one very cheap and decided to get it. At some point, once I have help here, I'll need to travel for a new business project. At that point I'll want a 3G Ipad with more memory. I'll probably give this one to my son or Mia. lol yeah she's only one year old but she goes to down on my iphone and laptop.

No one really needs an ipad, per se. I don't "need" one but had a chance to get one very cheap and decided to get it. At some point, once I have help here, I'll need to travel for a new business project. At that point I'll want a 3G Ipad with more memory. I'll probably give this one to my son or Mia. lol yeah she's only one year old but she goes to down on my iphone and laptop.
Hush! There is always a need

For me, I know if i could go completely to an iPad my back would be thrilled because that would mean less to haul when on the road. Much like other computing devices my adage is that if it does what you need then it is needed. If it doesn't then it's a want. I did recently get the 3G iPad 2 and gave my older iPad to K to play with. She likes that she can watch vids while on a treadmill and play Mahjogg as a way to relax after a hard day while watching tv.

It will be interesting to see where things are 25 years from now as tech changes so rapidly.

Anyone using an iShieldz ?

They are pretty neat, they come with a lifetime guarantee and work really great.
