I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
under Input highlight microphone.
3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
(Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
For any other audio device you do this for input and output.
If you get stock post back

    Hi,
    This is how App Store app shows now when an app is downloading. If you cannot download anything, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, remove your Apple ID, and set it again. That should work.
    Hope that helps.

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have a document that has been "uploading" for a few days now and I can't work on it from my IOS 5 device or my iMac

    I have a document that has been "uploading" to icloud from my iPad for a few days and I can not access it from any of my apple devices including my iMac.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Basically that's the way to go, with some modifications:
    Instead of<br>
    ''1) putting it back as it is 2) then renaming the profile folder''
    follow these instructions:<br>
    Create a new profile and copy the old one over it.

    Make sure to create backups of your profiles.

    So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music  app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off.

Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

    Greetings,
    First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
    Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

    My IMac just stopped recognizing my Iphone and Itouch when I connect them?  Any idea why or how to fix this?

    Did You upgrade iOS on the iPhone and ITouch?
    It might be that you now need a new version of iTunes for the new version of iOS.
    I am guessing here because you did tell us very much to go on.

    the keyboard on my ipad has disappeared and I can't seem to get it back.Any ideas how to get my keyboard back?

    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows - checking after each one to see if the problem is resolved:
    Power your iPad off and on.
    A reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.

  • HT204053 I use my sisters iTunes to sync only music onto my phone. I have my own apple ID and have it set up in my settings but when there's an update to be done, my sisters apple ID appears and I can't change it. Any ideas?

    I use my sisters iTunes to sync only music onto my phone. I have my own apple ID and have it set up in my settings but when there's an update to be done, my sisters apple ID appears and I can't change it. Any ideas?

    You may have inadvertently synced an app to your phone that was purchased with her ID.  That would trigger a prompt for her ID password when updating.  If that's the case, you would need to delete it from your phone.

  • I have been running firefox for about 4 years now and love it. recently I signed into firefox the page keeps running blank, i have it on my allow list.

    I have been running firefox now for about 4 years and love it. Recently I tried signing on and it just runs a blank page. I uninstalled it and re installed it to no avail. I have it on my allow list for my fire wall , and have tried all the fixes that i can. can you please help. I use your program as it runs my different web sites so much better than chrome or internet explorer. attached is a picture of what I encounter when I try to sign on. than You in advance. Colleen

    Hi Colleen, assuming it isn't an external software issue, then the next few things to try are as follows:
    '''Firefox's Safe Mode'''
    This is a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    If the menus are operable, you can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    If the menus are not operable, exit/crash Firefox and hold down the Shift key when starting it up again. A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Can you load any pages?
    If you have the same issue, it could either be something in your settings or in Firefox's program folder. These approaches test those possibilities.
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should come with completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Don't delete anything here.''
    Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Dec17, and ignore the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Can you load any pages in the new profile?
    If so, it sounds like a settings problem. If not, it could be corruption of Firefox's program files. See the "Clean Reinstall" section below.
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.
    To keep the new profile and migrate data, check out this article: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]].
    Or as an intermediate measure, you could go back to your regular profile and try the Reset/Refresh feature. This article describes what is kept and lost in that process: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
    '''Clean Reinstall'''
    (1) Download a fresh installer for Firefox 34 from https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ to a convenient location. (Scroll down to your preferred language.)
    (2) Exit out of Firefox.
    (3) Rename the program folder
    ''(32-bit Windows folder names)''
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    to
    C:\Program Files\OldFirefox
    ''(64-bit Windows folder names)''
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\OldFirefox
    (4) Run the installer you downloaded in #1. It should automatically connect to your existing settings.
    When starting Firefox, you may need to use the profile manager to switch back to your regular profile.
    Any improvement?
    Note: Some recently installed plugins may exist only in that OldFirefox folder. If something essential is missing, look in these folders:
    * \OldFirefox\Plugins
    * \OldFirefox\browser\plugins

  • I purchased my iMac used.  When I try to update my apps the computer automatically fills in the previous owner's Apple ID and I can't change it.  Any ideas?

    I purchased my iMac used.  When I try to update apps in AppStore, the computer automatically fills in the previous owner's email address and it won't let me delete it to enter mine.  I have been using my own apple ID and password on this computer for other things without a problem.  Any ideas?

    Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
    The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
    How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1. If you don't own another Mac
    a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    2. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    3. Partition and install OS X
    a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the  Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
              OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
              The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
              You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
    In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
    d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    4. Other issues
    a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

  • HT1212 My iPod has been disabled for a few months now, and I haven't had a way to reset it. I just recently got a computer, downloaded iTunes, and here I am in need of help that nothing is providing me with.

    I've been told to set my fourth generation iPod touch to recovery mode by turning it off, and holding the home button down, but my home button is cracked along with the bottom of my screen, so I have no way to do so.
    If anyone knows of a different way to reset a disabled iPod, please help.
    I logged into the iTunes account and it says it can not load because my iPod has a password.
    Yes, Apple, my iPod had a password; which was forgotten, and is the reason why I'm here in the first place.

  • When I open Safari I get a pop up saying I need to call pc support to help clear malware. It locks up Safari and I can't do anything. Any ideas?

    I have a problem with Safari, when I open it I get a pop up from call-pc-support.com and a 855 phone number to call for help. I was wondering if there is a way to delete and reinstall Safari to get rid of this thing? I don't know how long this has been going on because I usually just use Chrome.

    It's not malware. It's a JavaScript scam that only affects your web browser, and only temporarily.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the returnkey and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    3. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. From the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.
