mialolo-deactivated20111018 asked: I recently installed OS4 on my iPhone 3G and it's practically unusable now - super-slow and laggy, apps like my Twitter take ages to load and then crash, and the phone itself has crashed a couple of times (I never had any of this happen before the update). I've also lost all my music and my custom ring tone, but I didn't have any error messages during the update.

ollietigs-deactivated20100906-d asked: Hey pal. Just recently got an iPhone 4. Which is probably my second best purchase ever, other than my MacBook :)

I have noticed that by holding the phone with my left hand the signal drops and it says 'searching...' after a while. A lot of people seem to have this issue.

Now do you think that this is a hardware or software fault. Will Apple be replacing...

alexisacrifice-deactivated20120 asked: I've seen that you can get Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters, which can also output audio.
Do you know if the 2010 13" MacBook Pro is capable of this?
I tried the Apple Chat thing on their site, but I swear that it's a robot..

hellonewyork asked: I've got two questions for you.

1. Is it okay to regularly shut down my MacBook Pro by using the power button? I know a lot of people who say, "Oh! You're not supposed to shut it down that way..." so I was just wondering if it did hurt the computer by shutting it down that way.

2. I keep my MacBook Pro plugged in most of the time just because I...

knorri asked: How can I get pictures from my Mac to iPhone in best quality? Currently I am syncing my photo portfolio with a custom folder on my HDD. Pictures are sharp at 100% on screen but when viewed in the Pictures App on the iPhone they look very poor after tapping and zooming in. Hope you have a helpful answer for me :)

I brought it into the apple store and they changed the inverter board, but that did not fix the problem. Instead of...

bluesjumpedtherabbit asked: i've got a brand new 13mpb running x.6.3 -- do you know if there's a shortcut and/or menubar utility to toggle on/off the backlight keyboard? i love it most of the time, but if i'm watching tv in bed and trying to sleep it bothers the hell out of me, and i'd love to be able to go splat-something instead of going through my preferences.

mmmikeyyy asked: i decided to upgrade the memory for my macbook (late 2007), but i didn't have enough money to get 2 1gb sticks, so i just bought 1 2 gb instead. according to apple i should use two equal memory sticks for best performance, but i didn't know that until just now. what's the worst that could happen if i don't have equal memory in each slot?

Instead of sending it through the macstore for a flat rate of $350, I decided to see what I could do on my own first. Do you...

thecruelone asked: This is probably a really dumb question, but I've heard that Apple recently seeded a new version of Mac OS X 10.6.4 to developers. When this comes out to the public, will it be free for those who already have macs? Also, if someone were to buy a new Mac sometime after the update came out to the public would the Mac that they have already be updated? I'm not really a Mac expert so I...
