Yeah, everyone has different skill levels and different areas of interest. I understand the frustration. I've just had years of experience with remote problem solving, both with Mac issues as a volunteer and professionally with heavy lifting and safety issues. With Macs it is for fun, with heavy lifting it could save a life.

I was early for a Genius Bar appointment and sat in for a few minutes on a iPad basics class. I liked the way they built on the basics and showed where to find more answers. After my appointment, I joined the class again, for a few more minutes. Most were (mature) new users, but they all were learning quickly. I'm was a little more advance than most there and it was fun watching then pick it up. I don't have an iPad, because of under-employement, but definitely want one.

Is there a way to change the notification tone for the GMail app? I also have Good Mail for work. Is there a way to change that tone? I cannot find where to do either, but they both have different tones from everything else now.

I have the Verizon 20 GB plan.
====================================

Verizon has a 20*Gigabyte* plan?

I have ATT's 200*Megabyte* plan and since I use very little cell-data that's
been plenty. Even 2GB is adequate for most people (from what I hear) unless
they're streaming TV 24/7 or something.

You might want to check on the particulars of your plan -- and let the rest
of us know.

To me turning off the phone means turning off the phone call making and
receiving function, or what you (and probably everyone else) are calling
voice.
================================================

If that's what you want to do, you can turn on Airplane Mode, then turn
Wi-Fi on by itself.
See the top of the main page in the Settings app (the grey icon with picture
of gears.)

You'll be able to use all the functions other than anything that requires
"cell phone" service -- listen to music, play games, read books that don't
require online access, and do whatever else if on wi-fi for internet access.
You won't be able to inadvertently use any of your data-plan allowance that
goes on the "cell network."

Streaming 24/7? Three movies (roughly six hours) in a month from
Netflix will push you over 2GB.

I still wonder -- does Verizon have a 20GB plan?
(no, I don't feel like navigating their web site to find out -- they never
make these things easy enough to find out, you practically have to order
service to get the details!)

No. The streaming movies on iPhone do not come with 700 mb per movie. They are in 3gp format which reduces the movie to less tan 200 mb

I wish. I used to reset my Cellular Usage stats each month and by the
time I was into my 4th movie (during the first week) I was well over
2GB. Maybe they've improved their compression. I haven't reset my
stats in a while. Easy enough to check. I'll reset my stats in Jan and
run three or four movies back to back.

You are so right :-) I learn from the older ones all the time. You know, some of the new fangled ways of doing stuff just doesn't make sense to me. Why try and fix something that isn't broken.

To watch an older person learn something on the computer is awesome.

I can attest to the benefits of taking the One to One classes ($99 per year) that I signed up for when I purchased my MacBookPro.  I thought it would be worth it for a convert from PC/Windows.  I was SO right.  I've taken numerous classes and have become very able to navigate through all the features of this laptop.  I recently bought the iPhone 4s, my first smart phone.  My second class on using the various features was today.  I'm getting very familiar with the apps and various features of this phone.  One to One is worth every cent...you  spend 1 hour with one of the geniuses...I'm in my 70's, so this tech stuff doesn't come to me easily.

Very happy you're getting into tech, Clarke. Keeps your mind active. My Dad is going to take Apple classes at his local senior center. He can't wait. He's getting my mid-2009 MacBook Pro to take to class. He's in his mid-70's.

Notes won't sync

I set up my new iPhone 4S the other day to sync notes with my iPad 2 via iCloud but it isn't working. What is odd is that Reminders, Contacts and Calendars sync just fine. Could there be some other setting I'm missing? I don't sync with my MacMini because it is still running Snow Leopard.

A family friend is buying my old iPhone 4 and I want to know what I need to tell him to do to get it setup for himself.  We do not have an Apple Store in our town.  We have AT&T and Verizon. I have restored the phone to orginal.
 
Thanks,  KeithC.

I'm assuming its AT&T, if so then he just has to take it ot an AT&T store
and tell them he needs a Micro SIM for it on his account. If he is a new
customer then he has to set up an account obviously otherwise they will
just give him a Micor SIM and activate it on his account.

BUT FIRST REMOVE THE ORIGINAL MICRO-SIM AND KEEP IT.

First Bluetooth 4.0 accessory helps you find your car, as Microsoft

Posted by: "Bill Boulware" bill.boulware@gmail.com   boulware0224

Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:58 am (PST)



Someone had asked about using iPhone to find car - this looks like a
great KickStarter project to do just that -
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/9To5Mac-MacAllDay/~3/LJXM4mgiBEY/

Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: First Bluetooth 4.0
accessory helps you find your car, as Microsoft launches Bluetooth
keyboard for iPad via 9to5Mac by Jake Smith on 12/16/11

The iPhone 4S is one of the first devices to support Bluetooth 4.0.
Today, the first accessory to take advantage of the new technology is a
new Kickstarter project called Find My Car Smart. Find My Car Smart
uses a Bluetooth 4.0 powered dongle to transmit the location of your
car, which can then be picked up by an iOS app, letting you find your
car in a busy parking lot on a map. Seeing as it is a Kickstarter
project, it will depend on if the project gets enough backers to see
the light of day or not. It's pretty cool nonetheless, so if you're
interested make sure you pledge.

Microsoft is also getting in the Bluetooth accessory game, with the
release of a new tablet keyboard. The Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 is
very portable and it will hook up with an iPad, Android tablet, or any
other device that supports Bluetooth. Microsoft makes the Bluetooth
Mobile Keyboard 5000 available for $49 on their hardware store. If you
can't look past that Windows logo, you could always just buy an Apple
wireless keyboard for $68,or even try Apple's iPad Keyboard dock.

Trying to call over internet

I have an iPhone 4s that is connecting thru my my wireless connection.
I have Verizon service and my son has the exact same phone thru AT&T service. He is able to connect with his wife thru his wireless connection from Afghanistan to Florida and she can do the same. For some reason, I am unable to connect w/him. His number will ring, and then finally a message will say that the number is incorrect. I live in PA and am dialing this number as if it was long distance. I guess I am doing something wrong because I seem to be the only one that can't connect w/him. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Scheduling Events

Using Siri & iCal: Hold down home button and then say, "Siri, schedule meeting with ABC next Thursday at 10 am" It's done. And it's on desktop, iPad and iPhone.

Using iMac & iCal: using mouse, open iCal, double click on date to create new event. using keyboard, type in "ABC". using mouse, double click again for event box to open (which opens in upper left of adjacent monitor). Unclick all day event. using keyboard, type in 10. Change PM to AM. press "done." (and could creating alarms be any more cumbersome? - changing 15 hours to 1, etc. -- much easier on iPhone)

I think Lion needs Siri and a dose of iOS!

Or you can have iCloud sync iPhone and your Mac and just schedule it using
Siri on your phone and it will "push" to Mac in a matter of seconds.

I can't remember the last time I scheduled anything from my Mac - I either
use my phone when not at my office desk, my iPad when at home but don't
have phone near me or my office machine (Windows XP) in browser (Google
Calendar) and everything stays in sync albeit in my case through Google but
iCloud works just as well if not better if you don't want to use Google and
all of your machines are Macs and/or Windows Vista or newer. iCloud
doesn't have a Windows XP installer - although there is a workaround.

Ringtone

My farrier happened to be trimming one of my horses hooves and my phone rang. It is a bunch of horses and foals whinnying. He loved it and wants me to send him the link where I found it. Problem is I didn't save it. Is there somewhere on the phone the link to the ring tone or wav file?

Thanks,
Susan
