@JaredBusch That's harsh. We'll have to add a step before updating firmware on stuff. Check the news... 🙂

looks like it's fixed now.

I was completely overloaded today.

Reading that article, I would have been fine since I had my desktop with iTunes available anyway.

What do you see yourself using it for?

Keeping track of my location. I do a lot of walking and like to map it but often the phone dies.

And so people can find you too.

Sadly would not help as the watch needs the phone for 4G to tell other people where I am trapped. And the phone died in that situation.

@gjacobse said in iOS Contact recovery from iTunes Backup:

Well this is a fun one. User was to receive new phone, so planning ahead, she called in to discuss getting her contacts backed up. She had an iPhone 5c, but didn't have it sync to the iCloud - she didn't want to do so since it was her iCloud account, but an Office phone.

Got the 5c connected to iTunes and backed up. As near as I know anyway, everything succeeded normally.

This week she has her new 6s and plugged it in. Back up seemed to restore correctly, but she has no contacts.

I fully expect that the version difference is causing this, but would expect that her contacts are in the back up. Just how to retrieve them?

Are you sure the contacts were on the phone and not from something like an exchange account?

I've never had an iTunes based backup/restore fail to do that.

There is no difference in "version" because iOS is iOS no matter which device it is on. At worst you may be iOS 8 versus iOS 9?

iOS is iOS - Well I was going to say no.. but @art_of_shred and I managed to figure it out. I am using my phone as a comparison... I have been using the OWA application, but she mentioned using the regular MAIL app. So I went to set it up, and wasn't seeing the same thing @art_of_shred was. Found out what the deal was and now it 'matches'.

But that doesn't fully answer the issue here,.. getting her contacts. on to the next thought.

So adding the exchange account worked?

@brianlittlejohn said in Iphones and Exchange sync problems:

@Dashrender There also was an edit button back pre IOS7 i believe instead of the circle i button

The edit button is still there.

I don't know the source quote, so I'm not commenting on Apple's statement, but the Guardian definitely says that Apple said that the error itself was intentional:

"Apple has hit back at criticism of its controversial “Error 53” message on iPhones, claiming it is part of measures to protect customers’ security."

How did I know you were going to trash my windows phone 😉

Because: Windows Phone?

Seriously, with the other two operating systems, the app wraps it up nicely. So. Never checked if AT&T made a version for WP.

The app has no ability to lock down on usage. that is a monthly "add on" youhave to pay for with AT&T and TMO

now they are just syphoning money - this should be a free add-on. But that's just my opinion.

As a father of two children that will have phones, I agree.

This makes me wonder if there is a limit to the number of devices you can attach to an Exchange account?

10

20

That seems like a pretty crucial feature for a chat client to have...

The ability to.... chat?

Nadella is making Microsoft the company that it always should have been. So far I really like that guy.

It's odd to think the developers of Angry Birds 2 would use an unofficial version of Xcode.

Seriously!

iCloud Drive will start to look and act more like a mounted drive from a PC so will give a much more familiar file browsing experience.

I'm trying to decide if this is a good or bad thing.... I haven't used cloud storage enough to get 'used' to it one way or the other.

That's how bad it is now, no one uses it currently because it is useless.

What type of headset is this? It may need a firmware update:
http://www.plantronics.com/us/support/myheadset/updater/

Once you do that, you'll want to rebuild the bluetooth stack. Remove the device from your phone, power off, power back on, re-pair the bluetooth. That will rebuild the bluetooth stack and is best practice after updating firmware. (I spend A LOT of time on PLT's forums).

Also, I don't recommend the M series. They are the stupid cousin of the Voyager series.

Sadly my BT isn't any of those. It's the M55 - Just a simple unit.

Oh, I'm sorry...

@g.jacobse @thecreativeone91 18650's are Lithium ion, which are plenty freaking dangerous! Batteries and caps are the only things that really scare the poop outta me in electronics.

For the charging/discharging/maintenance/safety stuff you can get cheap LI pack minders on ebay with a full LCD screen and all the goodies. Then you roll your own enclosure (mine will be sheet steel, a project box or wood). I will also integrate a speaker and amp in mine so when I go camping I've got tunes + battery charger for phone.

Learn something new every day..

Thanks I'll have to try that.

Did they give you any reason as to why?

Tiny plane. They had to switch planes from a 76 seater to a 55 seater at the last minute and couldn't fit everything.

Have they not heard of RAR or pkZIP? Sheesh...

I use my iPhone a lot when I travel as it is so much of a pain to carry my SLR with me.

if i'm literally on the road and someone calls i'll use my GFI Max App/Team Viewer to hop on and fix lil urgent issues. (yes aj, i use my phone while in my vehicle, but i pull over).
Speedtest. Let me tell you, teamviewer on the iPhone6+ is actually usable lol

@scottalanmiller Many have the technology in place since they sell femtocells but I'm not sure why the never full implement it down to the phones directly. I guess it's too much work on their part to make it work on every phone. But I could see them just making an android app/plugin and one for iphones. They don't need to worry about RIM too much.
