Don't open...Definitely a Malware or some kind of virus.

Looks spammy to me. Grammar and composition is awful and so un-Apple-like.

No reason to feel like that. We all are still learning. It's so much to this smart phone that can be learned and discovered.

new iPhone on the way - question about iTunes
Posted by: "Mary Fowler Leek" mleek@sbcglobal.net mleek@sbcglobal.net
Fri Nov 25, 2011 5:47 pm (PST)
In the directions of my order notice, the instructions say I may be asked to sync with iTunes while setting up the iPhone.
I'm not a Mac person but do have the current version of iTunes on my PC.
Will I have the choice of what is transferred to my iPhone? Music is OK but I'd rather enter by hand the few contacts I wish to keep on the iPhone.
I'm guessing I have to use iTunes for apps downloads? Just don't want to
make a mess of everything right off the get go.
My thanks,
Mary

to sync manually open iTunes and navigate to DEVICES. then CHECK the box
that says PREVENT IPODS, IPHONES AND IPADS FROM SYNCING AUTOMATICALLY. from
that moment forward you'll be able to control what syncs and when. this
assumes that the newer version of iTunes is the same as the version
(10.1.3.55) i'm currently using with my iPhone 4.
enjoy your new phone.

New 4S
Posted by: "Dave Balcom" balcy24@gmail.com balcy24
Fri Nov 25, 2011 5:48 pm (PST)
I just ordered a new 32 GB 4S from AT&T online. This is the first new
iPhone from other than Apple so I am not sure about activation. The
confirmation email from AT&T said I have to enter a URL after delivery
to activate the new phone, but I was under the impression all I have to
do is switch sim cards. Anyone know for sure?
I was going to purchase it at the local AT&T store as I called and they
had 3 in stock (2 white and 1 black). When I showed up less than an hour
later they were all sold. The store told me they couldn't keep them in
stock. Apple is now showing 1-2 week shipment and the area Apple store
was completely out of all carriers.
Also, did Apple fix the antenna issue on the 4S so no bumper is needed?
I am giving my old iPhone 4 w/bumper to my stepdaughter.
Thanks,
Dave

iPhone 4 problem

In iPhone 4, sometime an email appears which has no sender, no content, can not be opened or deleted. Only remedy is to reboot the iPhone. Does this happen in 4S too?

This is a mail server anomaly. You don't have to reboot the phone, just go back to "Mailboxes" (upper left button) then touch "All Inboxes" and they should clear up.
You may have to do this a couple of times to get them "washed-up".
But if rebooting works...???

Re: New to the group

I'm new to the group too...just bought my first iPhone 4s (Verizon) Wed. from the Apple store. I am very dismayed to find how quickly the battery drains...from fully charged to 25% when reading my emails today, unable to connect to my home wi-fi due to technical problems...is this normal? At our local MAC User Group meeting one person said he had to fully charge the battery for an extra two hours to "re-set" the battery...I left the phone on the charger overnight only to drain it today...this did not include getting on the internet...just reading email.
Is there an external battery or a back-up? The guy at Verizon said no. Most of the time I'm able to get on the wi-fi networks in various places so I don't use up my 2GB data level per month...but how can I improve drain of the battery?
Jesse,
