That is so true.

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

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

No!!!

Just Carlos has to do that.

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.

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.

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

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.

Oh what a goose I am.

Pilot induced oscillation.....

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.

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

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

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)
