    What question?
    What did you try?
    Was the device connected to Wi-Fi or Cellular data?
    Do you really want help?  If so, stop being vague and provide some details.

  • Every ten minutes a popup on my 4s appears saying "unable to download" with the option of "done" or "retry". I can't get rid of it and I can't find out what it's trying to do!

    Every ten minutes a popup on my 4s appears saying "unable to download" with the option of "done" or "retry". I can't get rid of it and I can't find out what it's trying to do! theres noting pending on the App Store or iTunes. Nothing failed. I've reset my settings. Logged out and back into itunes. It's really annoying as rinsing my data!

    After talking to Apple for 3 hours I figured it out myself.
    Tre here was a singular failed song on iTunes on the computer that was trying to download and messing everything up. Maybe if you use iTunes on the computer and have a little mooch you'll find the same thing. I think it was hidden in the purchased part of it

    Launch Safari with the Shift key held down. If that doesn’t work, disconnect the computer from the Internet.

  • Recently got a MacBook Pro.  When I use it for work purposes, I plug in a large screen and key board.  When in this mode I would like to shut off the laptop screen or even close the lid. Is that possible?

    Hi Jim,
    Craig is right on with his post. Hope he won't mind if I add the following link, as recently it has been noted by some posts here that there are some "quirks" with Clamshell Mode:

  • My friend's apple ID shows up when I want to update my Apps. How can I get rid of it and see my own instead?

    On my iPhone I see my friend's Apple ID when I want to update my Apps and can't seem to login with my own. What's wrong? How can I get rid off my friend's ID and login with my own when I want to update or download apps? I went to Itunes Store in Setting and checked if my ID was still there, and it is so I have no idea what's wrong.

    Just used her MacBook to unlock my iPhone as I was away from home. So she backuped my phone and restored it to allow the unlock to work. That's all.
    I'm still not clear about what you mean about unlocking your phone. Normally, "unlocking" means entering the password if the phone is locked, which you should be able to do from the phone itself. If you want more help with this, you really need to take the time to furnish all the relevant details.
    I have a MacBook Pro, and yes when I connect my iPhone on it it shows up in the devices list.
    When you do that & click on the iPhone in the list, then click on the "Apps" tab at the top, do you see the apps you can't update listed there? If you click on the "Store" menu item does it show near the bottom that you are logged in with your own Apple ID?
    As wjosten said, it sounds like one way or another, the apps you cannot update were obtained using your friend's Apple ID. You need to delete them from your phone & try buying them again. If they were in fact paid for with your own Apple ID you won't have to pay again; otherwise you will.

  • In the new tab yahoo search page is opening everytime. How can I get rid of it and just get a blank page instead?

    whenever i am opening a new tab - yahoo search page is opening up. How can I get rid of this. I want a blank page to be open up instead of yahoo search page in new tab.

    This might be a feature of the Yahoo toolbar. Can you live without it? To disable or remove the toolbar, use
    Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    After restarting Firefox, do new tabs become blank again?

  • A box with a blue outline appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. I can't get rid of it, and it obstructs the view of the bookmarks as I scroll up or down. Help!

    I was trying to bookmark a page, using the "Choose" menu in the bookmarks. I must have touched a key by accident, and a box with a blue outline & the name of one of my folders appeared in my bookmark drop-down menu. At first the box contained the folder name, then I was trying to delete the box, and erase the name, thinking it might get rid of the box, but it didn't. I can't get rid of this box! It obstructs the view of what is underneath. It stays in the same position as I scroll up & down in the drop-down menu, and it hides what is underneath. Please help me get rid of this box. It is driving me crazy! Thanks!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Accidently installed NoScript, can't get rid of it and JavaScript has been disabled even though it says it's enabled - help!

    I accidently installed NoScript when trying to remove adverts/pop-ups. Now it's causing problems on various sites I regularly use and I can't get rid of it. It doesn't show up on Tools/Add- ons so I can disable and JavaScript has been disabled, even though it shows as 'Enabled'.
    Help would be appreciated.

    The usual method for uninstalling extensions and themes is by using the Add-ons manager for your Mozilla application, as follows.
    # Click "Tools -> Add-ons
    # Click on the Extensions or Themes button on the top.
    # Click on the extension or theme you want to uninstall.
    # Click Uninstall.
    # Restart your Mozilla application.

  • Can not get rid of cannot verify server identity pop up, how can i get rid of it for 3rd gerneration ipad?

    how can I get rid of cannot verify server identity pop up on my new 3rd generation ipad?

    A [http://www.google.com/search?q=Brookwood+Internist+Birmingham&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Google search] shows the website, but it still doesn't load - it shows the Go-Daddy '''Want to buy this domain?''' page.
    Using a DNS Lookup for that domain - http://68.178.232.100/ doesn't load that web site either. It shows '''This site is not currently available.'''
    Might be a server problem where that website is hosted, a DNS problem, or an expired domain name ''(but when that happens the message is usually '''expired registration''')''.
    Call your doctors office Monday morning and tell them that their website won't load. It's something that their webmaster needs to look into, along with their web hosting service ''(which I guess is Go-Daddy)''.

  • Can't get rid of contacts and messages

    Hi there,
    I'm having trouble getting rid of contacts. There are certain people I'm desperate to get off my phone, and even when I delete their contact, their name and number still come up as an option in the recipient field when sending a text message. The type of number comes up as 'other'. I know some people have mentioned that these may be recently used contacts, but even if I don't use them for months, they still come up. I don't have any iCloud storage turned on, and I checked other devices (MacBook, iPad, etc.) and these contacts aren't on anything. Also, I've deleted threads of text messages from these contacts also, and when I search a word in my phone, their messages still come up. When I click on them, I'm just taken to the messages main screen.
    Does anyone know why this is happening? And how I could get rid of all this?
    Thank you in advance!

    There is no option to delete the cache. It will be overwritten as time goes by. If you are impatient, Restore as new then sync back content manually.

  • I can't get rid of duplicate songs on my iphone or in the itunes.Help

    I cannot get rid of duplicate songs on my iphone or on the itunes player on my computer. I also cannot get my songs to play on my iphone in shuffle mode. It just plays the same song over and over again. Any lovely geeks out there?

    Welcome to the forums.
    If you have duplicate songs in iTunes you ought to be able to find them by using the "Find Duplicates" function and erase them by highlighting them all and pressing delete. Remember, though, that songs are not necessarily recognized as duplicates if they don't have the same tags (that is, a song can be duplicated but with a slightly different song title and iTunes cannot recognize it as a duplicate and it would be up to you to delete it manually).
    Once you've cleaned up iTunes it will automagically clean up your iPhone when you sync it. So work on getting iTunes in order first.
    People have complained about shuffle mode on the iPhone. One thing you can do is to create a smart playlist that selects the songs you want and does it randomly. You may have to create one or more of these depending on how you listen to music, but they will indeed give you "shuffled" songs.
