A few iphone tips..
1. Use ONE apple ID. you dont need 17 different apple id's. This is the number one reason why you have those mysterious apps that wont update. You probably have them downloaded from another apple id.
2. restart your iphone (press power button then slide to power off) atleast 3 times a week, and exit out of all apps when you're done using them (double tap home screen, press and hold an app then x out)
3. set up "find my iphone" on your phone because even if you have applecare insurance, they CANNOT track your iphone. Only you can- from icloud.com
4. Do a backup frequently.
5. Try not to sync with multiple devices at a time thats how you lose your contacts and panic
6. If you forget your passcode and you are stuck on the "slide to unlock" screen, please do not call applecare and ask them to fix it. they do not know your password. all you can do is restore as new device, and hope you have a backup (see tip #4)
7.A reset fixes most software related issues (press and hold power button and home button at the same time until you see an apple logo appear. do not do this while plugged in to itunes.)
if all else fails breathe and reboot.
also- if your phone unexpectely powers off, do a reset.
And just because you have wifi enabled dos not mean you are connected to wifi. wifi conections require passwords in most cases, so unless you've entered a password, you are most likely not connected.
anyone else have any good tips?
