Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

OK,
I have only had the darn thing two days (iPhone).
Already, my photos and my music will not rotate when I rotate the phone from vertical to horizontal and visa versa.
I have noticed that happen at least three times now.
Anyone else with this?
I have installed the new update.

Any other similar woes I should know of so I don't go back to the store to return it as I did two MacBooks before landing on number three?:r:r:r

Pete (replicant argent), if you are reading this, and getting ready to make a wise butt remark about Apple and me, here goes in advance: :fu

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Hopefully there's a quick fix for it, but I'd would return it. Apple's good about these things. There's nothing worse than buying a new toy and having it act up. I kinda feel ripped off when that happens.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

I am going to head to the store when they open at 10.

Anyone know a quick way to remove all this personal stuff from the phone?
Is there a master reset?

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

I think this might do it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRGZ9iCMl2E :ss

Sorry I had to throw that in.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Now it is working again, all on its own, without me doing anything to it.
Something is definitely weird but seems this will be like that car you bring to the mechanic and doesn't act up while you are there.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Note to self:
Don't do everything you see on the internet.
It is now permanently stuck and won't respond at all per that video.

Ooops!!!:r

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Right after above post, came back to being on.
Photos stuck again and won't rotate.
Pucker is on his way back at 10.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Went back and tried that master reset again.
Seems it took this time.
Waiting on updates now.
Let's see if that fixes it.

Seems that is Apple's way around all issues. MASTER RESET!!!

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Bastages!!!

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Master reset done.
Phone set up again as if new.
Luckily, all my stuff that I downloaded (apps) were in my MacBook, in spite of asking to set up as new phone.

Let's see if it is fixed or if off to the store I go.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Well, master reset done.

All things restored.

Won't rotate again.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

I haven't noticed this problem with mine, but it can get buggy sometimes. That could be cause mine is jailbroken and I'm running a lot of "non official" apps on it. For the most part though, it operates great. When it gets a little weird I just give it a reboot.

Perhaps the touchscreen is going up on yours, if it keeps up take it in and see what they say. This thing is too damn expensive to put up with that crap.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Ha!!!

Problem solved.

What consoles me is I know I am not the only one that went through this issue.
Found a couple of threads on this in the Mac Forum but had no solutions.

Went to the Best Buy store and waited for them to open.
There is a guy sitting there, that doesn't even work with phones.
Thought he did when I got there so I started talking to him and he patiently listened.
Seems the phone didn't work and suddenly, it worked again.

Well, what a dumb answer to all this.
Whenever I went horizontal, with the phone sort of flat, it doesn't work.
It is designed to work when at an ANGLE!!!

So, the guy quickly fixed the problem and off I went, into the sunset.:D
Oh what a goose I am.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

As an Apple basher, so as I tell my Apple friends, "You wanted a Mac, now you got one..."

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Leave it to you Carlos haha.

I really don't know how you do it. My first ever ipod (20 GB from probably 3 generations ago) still works and that thing has been dropped, scraped, slammed, and anything else you can imagine. current ipod touch, macbook, and imac have never had a problem. You just have a green thumb for breaking apple stuff.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Hey, no bashing.
It was a user error, as usual with me.:r

This is how it is that I do it Jim.
Here is a more recent photo of me.

I LOVE MY iPHONE!!!
I am just extremely technically proficiently challenged.:r

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Carlos, you would make a perfect beta tester for Apple. If a product can survive long term with you, nobody will be able to break it. I remember your posts about the computer when you were having problems.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Advice to self:

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Can't wait to see it on the 14th Carlos.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

:r That is so true.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

DON'T jinx me Tony.:r:r:r

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Well,
No issues in an hour or so.
I think I got over the hump.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

This thread made me LOL.

I'm glad that you got it working...errr figured it out....:r

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

serious question, is it normal to have to go through 2-3 apple products to get one that works?

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

No!!!

Just Carlos has to do that.:r
Mostly due to my own doing.
I wouldn't change my Apple world for anything.
Amazing how all items interact, my iPod, iPhone and MacBook.
One world, simplified.

I am old.
Challenged.
Takes me longer than most but I get there eventually.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

do you need an ipod with the iphone :D I need to wait and you aint helpin

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

I am fairly certain that Clara would not appreciate your candor about such things on a public board.



and that's a bit TMI for me.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

I'm short and get to the point quicker

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

When I'm having problems with my iPhone, I just restart it. It usually seems to fix the problems.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Pilot induced oscillation.....:bh

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

No. I've been using Apple products since 1986 and have never had the type of problems Carlos seems to have. The only time I've had one of the Mac computers die on me was back in the OS9 days and when I opened it I found that one of the worker bees spilled a coke on it.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

I kinda want a cell phone to PHONE. Nada mas.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

:r
That is what I have always said too.
Boy am I eating those words right now.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

you consider getting a mobileme account, Carlos?

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Talk to me.
What is that?
I think I already have it and don't know it.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Carlos, ship it to me, I can fix it with one of our 5000lb anchors!!!:r:r

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

you would know because you would have a xxx.xxxx@me.com email address.

It allows you to sync contacts,calendar,email,pictures,video across macbook,iphone,itouch automatically.... change any one of those on iphone or macbook and it syncs the next time the other device is turned on (or if you set it to sync @ certain time frame)

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

that is in invalid accout, it bounced back to me.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

was just showing the format of the email addy you get w/ a mobileme acct.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

where do I get one?

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

I think you can from the store on apple website, but alot of times you can get them on amazon for significantly cheaper.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

I will google it. within the next month it looks like I will be getting an iphone, damn you CARLOPS:mad:

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

www.apple.com
Search around in there and you can find out all you need to know about mobile me.

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

$69 on amazon right now. I think it is $90 from Apple. I've seen it as low as I believe $49 on amazon

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

is that the iphone 3G? I need to check that out :)

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Carlos, I heart thee :D

Re: Leave it to me to break another Apple device
 

Jim,
I know I have it because I received information on it advising me.
I originally set up a mac.com email address when I bought my computer.
I paid like $89 for the package.
I think it is one and the same.

I have noticed that is I have my laptop open to my email accounts, I access either my bellsouth.net or my mac.com email accounts and work them off my iPhone, any changes seem to immediately sync with my laptop. If I delete an email in my iPhone, it immediately disappears from the laptop also.

I would guess I therefore have it?
