Now that I have an iPhone, I am finding that the application icons are a complete jumble. I like things neat. Is there a way in iOS 5 to move them around so I have my favorites on the first screen, and so on?

I know this should be ridiculously easy, but how can I create a new contact with phone number and email address directly on my iPhone 4s? I can do it in the Address Book application on my Mac, but surely there's a way to do so directly on the iPhone? The Answer: Add a Contact to my iPhone Address Book?

Disable Carrier IQ data tracking on your Apple iPhone?
Category:
iPhone and Cell Phone Help
I've been reading about the privacy mess surrounding Carrier IQ, a company that apparently supplies diagnostic software for cellphones, and am anxious about my privacy. I have an iPhone and Apple has variously said that they have it, that they don't have it any more, and that they still have it but are going to remove the Carrier IQ utility. What's the story and how can I disable it on my new iPhone 4s?

iPhone and Cell Phone Help
One feature of iOS 5 that I haven't seen anyone write about is the new Newsstand application that, I think, lets me subscribe to magazines on my iPad or iPhone and automatically receive issues as they're released. As someone who flies a lot, it sounds great. How do I subscribe to a magazine in Newsstand on my iPhone?

Merge Starbucks cards in the iPhone Starbucks app?I'm a huge fan of the Starbucks iPhone app [iTunes link] and use it as my digital loyalty card. Saves me carrying money and it accumulates points and then free drinks. What's not to love? Recently, however, a friend gave me a $5 gift card to Starbucks. I could just use it, but I'm wondering, is there a way to just transfer its balance onto my main card so I get credit for the drink purchase?

Category:
iPhone and Cell Phone Help
Just picked up a used Toyota Sienna van and I'm pretty psyched about it - lots of room and it's really comfortable to drive - but I'm not sure how to pair my Apple iPhone 4 with the navigational system from Toyota. Any help or tips? Before you ask, yes, the car does have Bluetooth as far as I can tell.

Add a new Starbucks Card to my iPhone Starbucks app?
Category:
iPhone and Cell Phone Help
I've started using my iPhone to pay for coffee and snacks at the local Starbucks and it's very cool. I love not having to carry around my card but instead have the information -- and prepaid credit -- neatly on my phone. I just won a new Starbucks Card, and am wondering if I can have more than one card in the "Mobile Card" app, and if so, how I do it?

How do I copy an iPhone recorded video into iTunes?
Category:
iPhone and Cell Phone Help
I'm impressed with the HD video camera built in to my iPhone 4 and use it a lot to record short videos. Problem is, they don't end up in iTunes so I can't copy them to other devices, watch them on my AppleTV, etc. I know that AirPlay is supposed to help, but that seems really complicated. What I want is a way to copy a video to the "movies" section of iTunes. Is that possible?

How can I hide incoming text messages on my iPhone?
Category:
iPhone and Cell Phone Help
Okay, this is embarrassing. I was at an important business meeting and as usual, we all put our cellphones in the middle of the table before we started talking. Then a text message from my girlfriend showed up on my iPhone 4 with a, um, suggestive picture of her. My boss grabbed it, read the message out to everyone and raised his eyebrows at the photo. Super embarrassing! Short of telling her not to text me, how can I avoid this kind of situation in the future?

Prevent my iPhone from recording location data in photos?
Category:
iPhone and Cell Phone Help
A friend just pointed out to me that because my iPhone 4 has a GPS built into it, it always knows where I am, and that it records that information in every picture I take with the phone. Since I often post pictures online, I don't want them to all have my exact location hidden within. Is there a way to turn this off?

I'm so excited about the new iOS 4.3 update from Apple for my iPhone 4! Now I understand that even as an AT&T user, I can set it up to work just like a mifi personal hotspot and let me connect other devices ("tether") so they can get on the Internet through my iPhone Internet connection. Cool! How do I set this up?

Change default outbound mail account on my iPhone 4?
Category:

I have both an SMTP and a MobileMe account set up on my iPhone and just noticed that when I send email from the phone, it has a MobileMe return address, not my proper account address. I think it's picking the wrong account, not just wrong email, so is there a way to change the iPhone default email account?

Review: Arkon iPhone Car Mount Kits (GPS vs. Slim Grip)
Category:
Articles and Reviews
,
iPhone and Cell Phone Help
This review compares the Arkon GPS Car Kit RWIPC and the Arkon SLIM-Grip Mount IMP-514, and I want to start by saying that Akron Resources really makes quality products of sturdy construction, built for optimal utility and unobtrusiveness. Their GPS Car Kit and SLIM-Grip Mount both fit well within that description, to be used with the iPhone or the iPod Touch. "Versus" reviews probably should most often compare apples-to-apples and furthermore compare competing companies' products... however this review will compare two different products, both made by the same company. This comparison is more of an apples-to-oranges comparison, as the SLIM-Grip Mount has no GPS features, and is simply a mobile mount for holding your iPhone for you, while you drive. The GPS Car Kit is not only a mount for your iPhone, but it does so much more, which I'll describe in detail. Please note that this review will in no way encourage you to use your iPhone (nor any phone, for that matter) while you drive. Distracted driving is an ever-growing concern and strict laws are now in place, in most all states. Please drive responsibly, at all times.
