I upgraded my new iPad (iPad 3) to IOS 6 and everything went well except Siri won’t launch apps. When asked say “launch Facebook” Siri responds with “it doesn’t look like you have an app named Facebook” and I get the same results when trying to launch any app. Siri works for everything else it just won’t launch apps. Any ideas? Thanks.
I have this same problem... Seems like nobody else does. Siri won't launch any apps for me, including native apps.

I'm presuming my old iPod id dead meat, but after 24 charging a get the Apple Logo followed by an image that looks like a file folder with an exclamation point. Is there anyway we can resurrect all trhe music on it & transfer into a new iPod?
You can try putting it into Disk Mode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
If that works, you can see if the computer will recognize it when connected, either in iTunes or by the system.
NOTE: You can also try putting it into Disk Mode WHILE it is already connected to the computer.
If the iPod is recognized, you may be able to use one of the third-party methods or utilities to transfer song files from iPod to computer. You can do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer" to get some links (add "mac" to the search if your computer is a Mac).
Once the song files are on your computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library, then sync it to the new iPod. -

What to do with my G3 Blue and White
Alright, this is my first post, so bare with me. Recently I have purchased a used Powermac G3, B&W 350MHZ computer. Within it, it contains a 6gb hard drive, and 256 MB Ram. I have never owned a mac before and I am very limited on my knowledge of them. I do enough on a PC to get by, so I hope they are similar. I purchased this computer ($60) for just a few things. One, for internet capability, via dial-up. Two, for Word processing, as well as other Office programs. And Third, to upload and download the few songs onto my 1gb ipod.
My first question is this. The computer itself doesn't come with and OS discs, yet it has Jaguar already installed. My girl friend has a G4 Powerbook, with the Panther discs, Is it possible to used her discs to upgrade the OS, and or would that be a smart thing to do, do to the lack of other program use. Two years ago, when she bought it, they said something about having limit user capability. Something about she could only use it on 3 computers or something. I don't understand how the lincencing works. She also has the new Office software, and she told me the same about Jaguar as she did Office, limited users. I don't understand how putting the programs on here would limit her uses else where. Its going to be her computer in the end.
My next question is, I know that it does need to be upgraded, and I am sure that the computer will be Rev.1, meaning the hard drive upgrade will be a hassle. I thought it would be easier just to find a small external drive just to get by. Its going to be mainly adults using it. Not a lot of junk and or pictures. Like I said, very limited use.
It comes with 256MB RAM, I do know that you can go up to 1G RAM via 4x256 Max. Do you think it would be worth the $ to upgrade the RAM. Also, if I were to do so, do you think that 1G is necesary for my basic use? Please tell me what you suggest as to the style and or brand?
I am in the process of trying to find a G4/ maybe 400-500 processor to switch out, just to assit in normal use. Through out ebay, they aren't thay expensive expecially the smaller processors. Is there a big change in speed from the G3 350 and the G4 400. Enough to worry about it?
I hope I am not to much of a rookie with all this. I am always up for a challange, ecspecially when you use someone elses money, though it is very limited.
G3 Blue and White Mac OS X (10.2.x) G3 350, 256mb CD-RW 6GB HD
G3 Blue and White Mac OS X (10.2.x)
G3 Blue and White Mac OS X (10.2.x)Hi Rowdie Man,
Welcome to discussions.
The G3 B&W is a very fine computer, still very capible today. It is my favorite macintosh(im typing this post on mine). For starters 1gb of RAM will deffinatly make the computer nice and snappy, even for basic programs, so id recomend the upgrade. the 6gb HD will be enough for the OS, but you wont have much room for installing programs. You will have two options for upgrading the HDD, 1. you can buy a PCI ATA controller card (around $40, and must be mac compatible) and put a Large Drive on the machine, the card will increase drive access preformance, thus making the machine faster. 2. If you dont want to drop the extra $$ into the card you can put a new HDD in the bay under the CD-ROM, and bypass the flaky ATA controller. To do this you will need to remove the Zip Drive (if you have one) and slide the HDD in. Set the Jumpers on the CD drive to slave and the HDD to Master. If you indeed purcase a G4 processor it will make the Machine much quicker. BUT it MUST BE a ZIF proccessor, or it won't fit in the machine. Now onto the OS. Upgrading to panther will make the computer quicker. Are your girlfriends panthar disks retail bought (black disks with a grey X on them)? or are they the Powerbook Disks?-those wont work. As far as the 3 user limit, that wont limit the use of the computer, it just can't be installed on more than 3 computers at one time.(this only applys if you register andthe computers are on a network. If the software is only on the powerbook, installing on your computer will break the 3 user limit.
happy upgrading,

It looks like I currently share an apple id and account with my daughter between iphones. When I set my alarm it goes off on both phones and contacts are synched as well. How do I seperate from her account?
According to Create an AppleID:
Choose an Apple ID and password.
Enter your primary email address as your Apple ID. This will be used as the contact email address for your account. Please note that this email address must be verified before you can use certain Apple services.
And, unless I'm missing something, it appears that you're trying to use your father's e-mail address. Start at Find your AppleID and see if you can resolve the issue. -
Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?
Doesn't do that for me. Try resetting the phone

On Ibooks Author, my programmed image for the Chapter page no longer shows up on new pages, just appears as a question mark inside a box, How do I fix this? Please help, its the same when I try and copy and paste the same image within Ibooks author.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24420017#24420017
You may have moved or removed content on your page or its possible you used the"Adjust Image" and over sharpeed one or more images.
I assume you mean it does not show up of new Chapter pages... have you checked the template?
Where you see the ? you need to either reduce teh box outline size - or drop anther copy of the original image onto it, it may fill the ? box or sit on top.... delete the ? box.
If its Chapter page only related, its better doing this in the template.
Is you image .jpg or .png? -
Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!
Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there. For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color. For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted. Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something. You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can. -
HT1752 My MacBook on startup shows file with question mark ,, what now?
My Mac shows file with question mark, what now.
Press the power button down to force a emergency use only hardware shutdown.
Press and hold the Option/alt key on the built in keyboard, boot the machine.

Sometimes a NVRAM reset is required then the above done again.
Folder with question mark issue
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If MacintoshHD doesn't appear, or if it boots to gray screen or other issues, then it's more complicated of a fix, but once inside OS X then reset the Startup Disk.
Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
You might need this if you don't have a recent backup and your problem is software related, Disk Utiltiy can't fix the drive and recommends you backup, erase and install.
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
If Disk Utility + Hardware Test shows no boot drive, then you have a dead drive or cable, or Mac issue.

Photos from the Internet will not load correctly. I get white boxes with blue question marks inside. This has only been happening for the past 3 weeks so I'm not sure why it is happening.
Yes - email & text work fine but when I use something like Google Images or search a blog with imbedded photos I get the empty white boxes with question marks. If I click the question mark it opens the photo but I can't possibly do that for EVERY image on EVERY page I search!?!?! I've rebooted the iPad & my wireless card several times but neither action helped. Have any clue what I should do now?
