Best speaker with a clock for bedroom?

I'm re-doing my bedroom and am in need of some new speakers. What I want is a receiver with a clock on the front, and two speakers that aren't built in to the receiver, but rather connected via wire, so that I can put them underneath my bed. I don't really care about alarm clocks, FM radio, etc. I really don't want an iPhone dock on the top. All I need is a 3.5 mm in audio port. The form factor I'm thinking about is like that of a slightly thicker DVD player with a clock. If anyone knows of something like this, the help would be greatly appreciated.

I only get pictures as text messages not as iMessage?

I have an iPhone 4S and recently I can only receive pictures if it is sent as a text message rather than an iMessage. This is really frustrating for group chats especially because whenever someone sends a picture they have to send it as a text too for me to see. I don't know why it does this now because it has never done it before. I went to my settings an made sure everything was right and it was. What else do I do to fix this?

How to develop iPhone apps with a Windows 8 OS?

I have a Lenovo Z580 laptop with Windows 8.1. Processor: Intel(R) Core i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz RAM: 8 GB (7.86GB usable). 64-bit OS x64-based processor. 1 TB of hard drive memory. I have what i think is a great idea for an iPhone app, which shall not be discussed, and i wish to develop it myself. The only problem is I only have a Windows based computer, while the official iPhone SDK is strictly Mac. I do not want to use an emulator, or download any sort of Mac computer partitioned stuff. My question is: is there any single program i can download which would allow me to develop an iPhone app? Please only relevant answers.

How to safely back everything up on my iPhone 4s?

I have an iPhone 4s and i want to back back up and save everything! Embarrassingly i'm not that clued up about all of my options which i feel is a bit of a waste when owning such a nice phone!

Here are some things you may find useful when answering:

- The most important things to me that i want to back up are my photos and messages (texts, iMessages and whatsapp messages!). Anything else i could live without keeping, but i'm a pretty sentimental person and NEED these!

- I have just downloaded the Skydrive app and currently backing up about 3000 photo's… Though it's very slow and i'm not sure to what extent that i can trust it or i can access them, and put them back on my phone should i lose them?!

- I've never updated my iPhone since i got it in November 2012… As everyone always seemed to be losing all their data which scared me! So i'm not running on IOS 7.0.4 but i really want to update as soon as possible! (I believe i'm on 6.0.1)

- It says It's never been backed up but i'm sure it has?! And would it be to iCloud? The maximum is 5GB and i believe it stopped backing up when i exceeded this limit (not sure what was included or how i can access any of it!).

I just need it all explaining to me really; I'd be very grateful for anyone to spare some time and tell me my best options for (secure and reliable) free storage and how i'm able to put stuff back on my phone should i lose it?

I was thinking of downloading the dropbox app too, but how would i save texts to anything? Should i save different things to different places? I.e. Put messages into iCloud?

Thanks for reading my ramblings anyway. All answers gratefully received! X

Why Do I Have Horrible iPhone 5 Battery Life?

When I first got my iphone 5 in September my battery was great. But when I upgraded to ios 7 it started to go bad. It drains quickly, the battery percentage jumps around (for example my phone was on 40% and I Facetimed someone and as soon as they answered I looked at my percentage and it had dropped to 23%, in a matter of seconds.), it also dies around 15 percent. It sometimes varies when it dies though. Sometimes it will die at 10% or 11% or 5% but mostly dies at 15%.It never goes to 1% like it used too. Is there anyway I can fix this?

My iMessage is sending as SMS in group chat?

Every time I try to talk in a group chat, my messages send as a green text message and not the regular blue iMessage. So instead of sending to the group chat it sends to each of the people individually.

When I'm just talking to one person it's iMessage so it's not like it's a problem with my connection or anything. It's really annoying, did anyone have this problem? How do you get it to go back to iMessage? I have the iPhone 5c if this helps.

I have SMS texting turned off on my messages in settings, and I've tried turning my phone off and on, and that doesn't help.

please put clear instructions!
