Hi Paul,
I use http://support.apple.com/ as guidance for uninstalling iTunes and the other paraphernalia that goes with it. Rathre than stopping processes in task manager I reboot afterwards.kb/HT1925
Your point is well taken however. I'll scroll through task manager after the reboot.
The uninstall does seem to be pretty clean as the phone reinstalls when first plugged in after uninstalling iTunes and rebooting.
Heck if this was easy I wouldn't be asking for help, would I? *grin* Keep scratching your heads folks!

IF you tried rebooting your PC and a Different cable then the connector has went bad you can change it yourself using this guide.

That�����s not the experience I had. I had to pay for the international plan, plus extra for the minutes. For just three days of service, plus two phone calls (a family emergency while I was out of the country), I paid an extra $25 last summer.

Hi Sandy,
Even if you are out of the country, you can get a dialing plan without any monthly charges. They offer a $ 0 monthly plan or an AT&T world Traveler for about $6. The rates are based on the specific countries you are in and you can look them up before you go.
For most Western European countries and the major developed Asian countries - Singapore, Australia, etc. I believe the rate with the AT&T World Traveler is $0.99 per minute or $1.30 for the standard plan.
Which one you sign up for depends on how much you plan on talking. The other thing to note is that these plans can be turned on and off on-line so if you only need 3 days worth of coverage, you can sign up for the plan before you leave and then delete the plan when you get back.
Obviously if you need to call a lot it usually works out better to get another phone in the country you go to.
Regards,
Jay

iTunes Problem

Wed Feb 8, 2012 6:47 am (PST)
There is something weird with my iTunes. There are some songs and albums that appear in my library in iTunes. However, when I go to the location on my computer where iTunes music is stored, they are not there. Similarly, if I search for them by albums or song names, I can find them, but if I search by artist, they are not listed. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on or what can be done to fix it?

Select the song in question then press Command-Shift-r. This will open the containing folder in Finder with the song selected.

Carriers hate the iPhone

Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: Carriers hate the
iPhone via BGR: The Three Biggest Letters In Tech by Zach Epstein on
2/8/12
Apple���⒠��s iPhone is the most profitable product offered by the most
valuable company in the world. With only three iPhone models in its
lineup, the Cupertino-based technology giant shipped more smartphones
last quarter than any other vendor in the world. Carriers that sell
Apple���⒠��s sought-after smartphone enjoy huge activation figures each
quarter as a result, but activations and unit sales don���⒠��t necessarily
paint a complete picture. In fact, according to some industry watchers,
carriers hate the iPhone. Read on for more.
Wireless carriers trip over themselves to offer Apple���⒠��s iPhone,
especially in the United States. Sprint wanted the handset so badly it
was willing to guarantee Apple $15.5 billion over four years for the
privilege of selling its sleek smartphone, and it certainly didn���⒠��t help
matters much in the fourth quarter when Sprint posted a $1.3 billion
loss. T-Mobile is still sour over failed negotiations with Apple, and
the carrier has resorted to offering up free microSIM cards to iPhone
users willing to come aboard and forgo 3G data speeds.
���⒠��A logical conclusion is that the iPhone is not good for wireless
carriers,���⒠�� Nomura Securities analyst Mike McCormack told CNNMoney.
���⒠��When we look at the direct and indirect economics that Apple has
managed to extract from the carriers, the carrier-level value
destruction is quite evident.���⒠�� The site notes that Verizon Wireless���⒠��s
EBITDA service margin has dropped from an average of 46.4% per quarter
to 42.2% since the carrier added the iPhone to its lineup one year ago.
But the iPhone is a necessary evil for carriers that some expect to pay
off in the long run. Sprint on Wednesday reported its best quarter in
more than six years for net subscriber additions thanks to the 720,000
new postpaid subscribers who came to the carrier for the iPhone. Some
analysts also believe carriers will eventually raise their price points
on the iPhone; despite the handset���⒠��s high cost to Apple���⒠��s partners, the
iPhone 4S currently starts at $199 on contract to the end user while
the iPhone 4 is available for $99 and the iPhone 3GS is free on
contract from AT&T.
Regardless of what the iPhone is doing to carriers���⒠�� bottom lines, it
remains the best-selling smartphone in the world and it likely will for
some time. Apple is expected to launch a completely redesigned iPhone
later this year that will reportedly feature a unibody aluminum case, a
4-inch display and 4G LTE connectivity.

Yes, it is well-known that the iPhone generates much data traffic.
However:
- Here in the Netherlands T-Mobile offers tailored subscriptions, and
it seems to be the only provider that (sharply) reduces bandwith
rather than start charging when the amount allowed is surpassed.
- The other day I read (on a Dutch website, I think) that the Samsung
Galaxy (whatever the full name of this competitor) generates even more
data traffic, due to Android 4.0.
I might add:
I could even imagine that the most traffic is generated by devices
with cheaper flat-fee data subscriptions (like Blackberry,
apparently), as they may be popular among youngsters.
At least here (NL) using the Internet (Twitter and the like) on cell
phones seems to eclipse both texting and making voice calls.
For what it's worth... :-)

Question re upgrading to 4s
Posted by: "V. Meyer" n2words@earthlink.net vemeyermn
Wed Feb 8, 2012 10:08 am (PST)
I plan to upgrade to an iPhone 4s from a 4, and then sell the 4. I
backup to my computer, not the Cloud...yet. I had some problems with
dupe events, so I turned the Cloud off. I will switch my backup
location at some point.
My question: Can I restore all my apps and info to the new phone, then
reset the old phone using the same computer before I sell the phone?
Obviously, I hope to avoid any conflicts.
Thanks.

> Obviously, I hope to avoid any conflicts.
I've gone from a 3Gs to a 4, both running IOS5, backing to a PC. The short answer is - partially. Apps are going into folders better now than when I updated a 3Gs to a 3GS with a larger memory. But some apps failed to restore, including an extremely useful one that would scan for all available wireless networks. Others didn't restore either, or restored old versions (inexplicably, I had backed up the current version). Other apps didn't show up in folders at all. New icons of dubious use showed up like Newstand, disrupting other things. My itunes library holds way more material that will fit on the phone, so I do manual backups. The restore wanted to put it ALL on my phone even though I had it set to manual sync.
Pretty seamless process considering the horrible 5 hour ordeal last time when I lost folder associations. Apple is getting better at this upgrade process. But deleting apps they don't like - like the wireless network sniffer - very bad. It was about 45 minutes of moving things around instead of 5 hours. But don't expect it to be perfect.

Here's the info from the Apple Website.
http://support.apple.com/ kb/HT2109
To transfer information from your current iPhone to a new iPhone, follow
these steps:
1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and iOS. Download the
latest version of iTunes <http://www.apple.com/itunes/ > anddownload/
remember to install it after you download it.
2. Connect your current iPhone to iTunes and sync it. Verify that your
original iPhone is backed up. For more information on how to do
this, see iPhone:
About backups <http://support.apple.com/ >.kb/index? page=kb&id= HT1766
3. Connect your new iPhone to iTunes (on the same computer you used to
back up your current iPhone).
4. iTunes will ask you if you want to restore from a backup or set up
your new iPhone as a new phone. When prompted, select the backup of
your current iPhone. If iTunes does not prompt you to select a backup to
restore when you connect your new iPhone, use iTunes to restore
iOS<http://support.apple.com/ > onkb/HT1414
your new iPhone and try this step again.
*Note**:* During the process of restoring your old backup to a new
iPhone, you may see the iTunes progress bar pause. If this occurs, please
allow for additional time for the upgrade to complete.
5. After iTunes finishes restoring the backup you selected to your new
iPhone, the iPhone will restart.
6. When your new iPhone appears again in the iTunes window, select it.
7. Click the tabs (Music, Photos, and so on) and verify or change the
items you want to sync.
8. Click Apply to sync your new iPhone with iTunes.
9. Verify that your saved SMS messages, email accounts, passwords,
photos, notes, and other personal settings are present on your new iPhone.
Note that you will be required to enter your email account and voicemail
passwords again. If you do not remember your voicemail password,
you can reset
it <http://support.apple.com/ >.kb/HT1687
*Note*: If saved SMS messages, email accounts, photos, notes, or other
personal settings are not present on your new iPhone, then
restore-from-backup may not have been successful. In that case, verify your
current iPhone is properly backed up (see step 2), then use iTunes
to restore
iOS <http://support.apple.com/ > on your new iPhone and continuekb/HT1414
following these instructions at step 4.

Thanks, for the info on upgrading. Christopher, I really appreciate
you providing the detailed instructions and pointing me to Apple
support with the link. In retrospect, probably should have gone there
first. But the link and instructions will come in handy.
I'll check Apple's website, but I'll ask the question here. Once I've
upgraded to the new phone, will it be fairly easy to reset or wipe my
data from the old one?
Thanks.

Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: New Path update allows
users to opt out of contact sharing; CEO apologizes via BGR: The Three
Biggest Letters In Tech by Dan Graziano on 2/8/12
Yesterday it was revealed that the popular social networking app Path
was uploading entire iPhone address books to the company���⒠��s server. The
data uploaded included full names, phone numbers and email addresses,
and the app uploaded all this data without ever asking for permission.
Dave Morin, Path���⒠��s co-founder and CEO, admitted fault on Wednesday
through the company���⒠��s website and announced an update to allow users to
either opt in or out of the contact collection feature. ���⒠��We believe you
should have control when it comes to sharing your personal information.
We also believe that actions speak louder than words,���⒠�� Morin said. ���⒠��So,
as a clear signal of our commitment to your privacy, we���⒠��ve deleted the
entire collection of user uploaded contact information from our
servers. Your trust matters to us and we want you to feel completely in
control of your information on Path.���⒠�� The company maintains that when
data is transmitted to its servers, it is always sent securely through
an encrypted connection and protected by industry-standard firewalls.

royalties appearing ���⒠��out of thin air���⒠��, $10,000 in two months via
9to5Mac by Jordan Kahn on 2/8/12
In a blog post earlier today (via Ars Technica), the CEO of TuneCore���⒠��
an online music distribution service���⒠�� announced some pretty intriguing
numbers in regards to iTunes Match royalties it���⒠��s collected on behalf
of its clientele. While calling the payout ���⒠��magic money���⒠��, CEO Jeff
Price said his company has collected $10,000 for a two-month period
beginning at the launch of iTunes Match. While TuneCore���⒠��s artists have
included the likes of multi-million album sellers like Nine Inch Nails
in the past, Price said the royalties represent money most independent
artists using the service would have otherwise never received:
���⒠��A person has a song on her computer hard drive. She clicks on the song
and plays it. No one is getting paid,���⒠�� Price wrote. ���⒠��The same person
pays iTunes $25 for iMatch. She now clicks on the same song and plays
it through her iMatch service. Copyright holders get paid.���⒠��
The real question is how Apple���⒠��s royalty payouts compare to other
services like Spotify. Ars noted it���⒠��s important to remember in the case
of iTunes Match, if a user first purchases a song through iTunes and is
also an iTunes Match customer, the artist is essentially being paid
twice off the same song. Once from the initial purchase, and again from
the iTunes Match royalty. For those thinking $10,000 is a lot of money,
Price argues, ���⒠��before you were getting zero, now you are getting
something���⒠��:
The music industry needs innovation. Services like iMatch, Spotify,
Simfy, Deezer and others are bringing that innovation���⒠��it will take some
time to learn which are the ones consumers want. But in the interim,
seeing an additional $10,000+ appear out of the thin air for TuneCore
Artists by people just listening to songs they already own is amazing!
