If you check the iCloud Control Panel (on your Mac or PC), then Notes are
not included unless you set up an Apple Email account, though why I'll never
know!
Reminders are synched as part of iCloud.

They aren't apps per se. If u look at your settings for messages, u should see info about
iMessage. It is built into the messengng app. I had the same question!
Regarding notification...it's a setting also. If u swipe ur screen from top to bottom, u should see what's in it. Do a few swipes....it does take some getting used to!

I have had a Motorola Bluetooth connection for my iPhone for a
couple of years now, and the FM transmitter works fairly well, it
is not CD quality, but still pretty good. Switches to phone calls
when they come in, but often does not turn the iPod back on when
the call has ended.

I recommend a Bluetooth stereo. I found a close out model at
Best Buy. Total cost after install was about $150. It provides
perfect sound. I hate FM transmitters. They don't work well at
all.

One thing I would really like is an FM transmitter to play my
iPhone through my Jeep Wrangler stereo. From what I've seen, these
things plug into the cigarette lighter, and the headphone jack. An
FM station is dialed up on the transmitter and the radio, and then
you can hear your iPhone through your car.

Quick Access for the Camera

What I understand is that if you want to use the camera quickly, you can do it from the lock screen by touching the camera icon. There is no camera icon that shows up on the lock screen on my phone.
I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 5. Is there something I need to change in settings? I can't find anything.
Thanks.

Nicest way possible but this question has been asked at least 15 times,
Double press the home button from sleep or press the home button once to
activate screen then double press and the camera icon shows up.

Almost true.
It doesn't apply if *you* delete stuff you shouldn't and want it back.
Regular backups are the only sensible action.

We've used Genius bar 3x, once for a simple issue, and twice we got a replacement phone - 4 for overheating, and 3GS for battery. BTW, the 3GS also had a cracked case. Both phones were under AppleCare. The times we got a replacement phone we had called Apple to discuss the problem and they arranged for the appointments and new phones. No charge.

My wife and I both have new 4S (LOVE THEM) but we have noticed that on mute, when we get a message notification, her phone vibration is a lot louder and tinny in sound where mine sounds like the 3G did.
Is anyone else's phone doing this? We are thinking of going to the store to change it our but don't want to seem hypersenstive.
Thanks for any feedback.

They changed the vibration motor in the 4S and you can change the sounds,
vibration pattern, etc on a system (Settings > Sounds > Notifications) or
on a per contact basis.

Fifth Avenue glass cube debuting this Friday, Apple Store app
self-checkout, multiple shipping addresses for online orders via
9to5Mac by Christian Zibreg on 10/31/11
An artist's rendition of the seamless glass cube Apple Store at New
York's Fifth Avenue.
Credit: The Gothamist.
Apple is set to unveil an all-new glass cube entrance into its iconic
outlet at New York City's Fifth Avenue, MacRumors has learned. The new
look should be unveiled this coming Friday, November 4. The work on
remodeling the building hailed as New York's top photo attraction began
this summer. According to permits, changes include using larger,
seamless pieces of glass and reducing the number of glass panes from 90
to just 15, or three per side.
Apple is also said to remove protective bollards, install new pavers
around the cube's perimeter and remove and reinstall surrounding water
drains. This major makeover will cost six million dollars, nearly
matching the seven million dollars they reportedly paid back in 2005 to
assemble the now iconic glass cube entrance.
MacRumors also noted that Apple will allow buyers to use the official
Apple Store for iOS app (which, shamefully, has yet to be updated with
full iPad support) to "utilize self-checkout for purchases of
accessories and other shelf-stocked items at the company's retail
stores". Heylookitseric is mentioning the November 3 launch for the
updated program. How is the self-checkout process going to work?
After making a purchase via the Apple Store app using the self-checkout
option, you will receive a receipt vie email and show it to a store
employees as proof of purchase, the publication explains. This option
will not be available for Macs and iOS devices and is meant as a
time-saver for both customers and retail employees in regard to
accessories kept on store shelves.
For items kept in the stockroom, such as computers, notebooks and iOS
devices, customers will be able to pre-purchase those using the app and
complete their transaction with an assistance of a store employees
carrying an EasyPay device. Another interesting retail update from
Apple right after the break.
As you know, Apple last Wednesday began offering in-store pickup of
online orders in San Francisco and all 16 other stores in the Bay Area.
Today, the program has expanded into the Fifth Avenue store and three
other stores in New York City (the SoHo, Upper West Side and West 14th
Street stores). The company is also said to introduce a new buying
option to allow for different shipping addresses for items purchased in
a single transaction. This way, for example, daddy will be able to buy
an iPad for grandpa and an iPod touch for his junior in a single
transaction and have them shipped to two different addresses, which
wasn't possible in the past without having to purchase each item in a
separate transaction.

How to extend battery life of your iPhone 4S by disabling 'Se
Posted by: "Bill Boulware" bill.boulware@gmail.com boulware0224
Mon Oct 31, 2011 1:01 pm (PDT)
I can confirm this as well as "Cell Network Search" on 3G iPads without
cell data activated greatly improves battery life
http://feedproxy.google.com/ ~r/9To5Mac- MacAllDay/ ~3/WezedUv0X9c/
Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: How to extend battery
life of your iPhone 4S by disabling 'Setting Time Zone' via 9to5Mac by
Christian Zibreg on 10/31/11
Poor battery performance is one of the major teething issues that's
been plaguing early iPhone 4S adopters who are flocking to Apple's
Support Communities forum in search for answers. Apple's remained mum
on the matter thus far. The problem appears to be affecting some iPhone
4 and iPhone 3GS users as well, indicating a likely software bug rather
than a hardware defect. iDownloadBlog offers an interesting remedy that
may not work for everybody, even though some folks are reporting seeing
an improved battery performance.
It appears that the Setting Time Zone function in iOS 5 can lead to
excess power drain because the device is repeatedly polling the user's
location in order to set the time zone based on their current location
(which is useful when traveling). To disable this functionality, launch
the Settings app, navigate to Location Services > System Services and
turn off the Setting Time Zone option. You should see a purple location
services icon in the iPhone's status bar disappear:
Switching it off may mean that your iPhone will no longer set its own
time zone when you travel, but that's a small price to pay for having
your iPhone last more than 12 hours on a full charge. We have tested
this method on 4 different iPhone 4s handsets, including an iPhone 4
and an iPhone 3GS. All have reported drastically improved battery life
after switching 'Setting Time Zone' off.
Yes, it's a band-aid solution but a helpful one, at least until Apple
delivers a fix through a firmware update. While we're at it, you may
also want to disable Location-Based iAds and Diagnostics & Usage and
leave only the essential system location services running (Cell Network
Search, Compass Calibration and Traffic).
Apple rates the battery inside the iPhone 4S as having up to 200 hours
of standby, a hundred less than the previous model, in spite of the
iPhone 4S's extra .05W/hrs battery and an hour-longer talk time.
iLounge found out that iPhone 4S has worse battery life for 3G data and
audio/video playback/recording compared to the previous model. Apple
offers this tip on improving battery life on your iPhone:
Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the
battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Macworld's interesting iPhone 4S battery troubleshooter mentions using
a system diagnostics app such as System Activity Monitor in order to
determine which processes are running unnecessarily in the background.
This can help pinpoint the cause of battery woes. For example, a faulty
contact entry may affect syncing your iCloud contacts. In this
scenario, the iCloud sync might end up endlessly looping in the
background, enough to quickly drain your battery. Has any of the
aforementioned tips helped improve your iPhone 4S's battery
performance? Chime in with your thoughts in the comments.

Restore or Reformat?

Hi all, I had some problems booting my iMac, running Lion 10.7.2, last night. To get it to boot I unplugged my 4 external hard drives, starting up the iMac, then shutting it down, reconnecting all the hard drives and starting it up again. I then couldn't get my hard drive or any desktop folders to open. Anyway, I think I have that pretty much fixed.
My question is, I was thinking about redoing the whole iMac internal hard drive, starting from scratch. If I do that, when I plug in my iPhone, Classic iPod and iPad, will it erase all the data on them? I do have a Time Machine backup done overnight but I'm afraid there's still a little problem with the iMac that might have been backed up. Also, should I do a reformat and put back on the iMac the software one by one? Or do the optional restore on the iMac? BTW, my iTunes library is on an external drive, so importing it back into iTunes is no big deal for me. I know either way, it's going to be a tedious and long process whichever way I go. I've done it on several Mac laptops I've had in the past with no problems.
Thanks for the help :-)

iPod Nano, iMac and Cinema Display question

Hey Guys - does anyone know if the current generation Nanos support
Bluetooth? I see some "add-ons" that plug in to the Apple 30-pin connector
and create a dedicated Bluetooth to the other end of the device but I would
like to use all of my current Bluetooth headphones.
Second, I stay on top of the iPhone/iPad/iOS beyond a normal level but I
only scan the rest - has there been any rumors other than (
Buyersguide.Macrumors. Com) about a holiday iMac Refresh? The other half is
finally ready to give up her Windows desktop and either wants a 27" iMac or
would "settle" for a 27" Cinema Display that she can plug her Macbook (or
my old Macbook Air, or one of the Mac Minis) in to.
Personally I would like to buy myself a new Quad Core i7 27" and convince
her my last gen 24" will fit her needs.
The above leads to the last question, I know that the previous 2010 27"
iMacs allowed you to use the display for another machine and they disabled
that with the introduction of the 2011 Thunderbold 27", correct? The
current 27" Cinema Displays support both current and older non-Thunderbolt
Display port machines (pre 2011 MBPros, 2010 Air, pre 2011 Minis, etc)
correct?

Apple's Bluetooth support page doesn't list Nano's....

*I* haven't heard (read) any rumors.

My frustration is that I don't feel I need a 27" screen, but the internal capabilities on the top-of-the-line 27" are greater than those of the top-of-the-line 21.5"....

I couldn't find anything about Nano either - I know the last generation did
**not** have it but a few vendors sold a "dock connector" that created
Bluetooth and I thought for some reason that during they 4S keynote they
mentioned something about wireless support but I must have remembered
incorrectly.
If they still made a 24" that is, for me, about the perfect size - the
21.5" is a little small and the 27" does seem huge but as you mentioned the
specs are just better for my needs...
