Some Answers to my iPhone Questions

On earlier post I posed some questions re my phone, and today went down to the Apple Store at Grand Central where I got some answers.

1.  Going back to an earlier page you were working on depends;  sometimes there are indicators at top right other times have to hit home button and start again.  Oh, well.

2.  How to make the battery last longer?
--Turned off my Bluetooth setting. (Wish they had a Bluetooth connection to iPhoto for downloads.)  -------Teacher at class I took also suggested setting phone on Airplane Mode when you are in an area that you can't use your phone anyway, like a long subway ride.
--Where WiFi is not readily available like walking in Manhattan, you can just turn off the WiFi Setting.
--Genius guy also suggested I look at Apple.com/batteries (which I have not done yet.)

3.  I forgot to asked about what settings I should have at night and if I should turn off the phone or not.
Remains to be answered....

4. Re the downloading of photos, Sarai had said there was a way of selecting the ones you want to download.  Genius said that on the Mac in iPhoto, I should hold down the Command Key.  When unloading he said to click the button that says Import Selected (not Import).  I think I am missing some steps here but will see how plays out when I try it.

5. Re security, if I lose my phone can go to a computer, type in www.iCloud.com and there should be selections I can make there to lock phone or find where it is.  Will have to try this someday when I am close to an Apple Store in case I mess up.

6.  Alarm Clock:  Clock Icon on Home: Tap alarm button, set time, save.   Forgot to ask if this rings when phone off or on any of the silent settings.


Plus:  Apple does not use the letters i or o in its serial numbers etc.  If you see something like that and not sure if it is a number or letter, it is a number:  1 or 0.
