  • Camera icon on lockscreen not working in ios 5.1

    After updating to ios 5.1 yesterday I noticed that the camera icon on the lockscreen doesn't work correctly.  If you touch it, the bottom portion of the screen jumps up for a second, and you can see the camera app behind it. Any ideas?  I am using iphone4.

    Never mind - found it.

  • Trying to set up new phone with iCloud. My backup shows up but not in bold so it won't let me select it. Any ideas??

    Trying to set up my new iphone. Saved my info from iCloud and when I try to download on the 5c it is not in Bold so it won't let me select it but it does show my backup at 4:09. Any ideas??

    Make sure your 5c is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up.  If it isn't you cannot restore the backup until you update the phone.  Then make sure you are restoring the backup this way: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.
    You phone won't need to be from the same provider or have the same telephone number to use the backup, but you will need to be signed into the iCloud account that you backed up your old phone to.

  • Firefox will not open new windows, opens with session restore every time I use it, and won't let me open the throubleshooting tab... Why?

    Whenever I try to open a new window, nothing happens. This includes clicking ctrl+N and through the drop down menu.
    Also, whenever I start firefox to browse the internet, it always open with a Session Restore with the previous session listed, even though I closed all the tabs and shut it down normally without any prompts telling me about saving multiple tabs.
    Finally, when I tried to troubleshoot this problem, the tab never appeared. The only options that work on the Help Menu are:
    - Firefox Help (after a few clicks)
    - Report Broken Web Site
    - Check for Updates
    - About Firefox

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

  • Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation

    The Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation.
    Opening the dictation system preference panel makes the system preferences crash...
    The mic of that camera is the only mic I have.
    I own a Mac Pro and an old Cinema Display which has no built-in cam/mic.
    Anyone having the same issue?
    I hope this is gonna be fixed with 10.8.1.

    Hello, thank you for responding.
    Unplug and plug in back the camera does not solve this problem. I tried that before.
    But what worked was to start photo booth. Don't really know why.
    So after every restart of the mac I have to start photo booth and dictation with the QuickCam is working. ^^

    I can not make or receive calls! other functions itself. Internet, sms, whatsapp work. I restored as new iphone from the phone and from itunes and still not working.
    Sorry for my english i'm spanish

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

  • Safari isn't recognising any websites at all. It is saying "can't verify certificate or server". I have reset my router, reset the Mac Air and still nothing. If there are updates it also won't let me open the App Store...

    I Have tried everything and it still won't let me open anything in Safari. I have reset the Mac and router. It's just not working.

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
    Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
    Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
    Check the box marked 
              Set date and time automatically
    if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
    Step 2
    Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    If the problem is not reproducible in safe mode, then it's caused by third-party "anti-virus" or "security" software. If you know what that software is, remove it as directed by the developer after backing up all data. If you don't know what it is, ask for instructions.
    Step 3
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Show Info
    from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
    Repeat with this line:
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it by pressing command-V. Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
    Step 4
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
    In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
              File ▹ Add Keychain
    from the menu bar and add the following items:
    /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    Open the View menu in the menu bar. If one of the items in the menu is
              Show Expired Certificates
    select it. Otherwise it will show
              Hide Expired Certificates
    which is what you want.
    From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu labeled
              Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
    select
              no value specified
    Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings.
    Now open the same inspection window again, and select
              When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
    Save the change in the same way as before.
    Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.
    Step 5
    Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
    Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
              Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
    from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
    Step 6
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to  CRL.
    Step 7
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    /var/db/crls
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test.
    Step 8
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    open -e /etc/hosts
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in the same way you launched Keychain Access.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting. A TextEdit window should open. At the top of the window, you should see this:
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting.  Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1                              localhost
    255.255.255.255          broadcasthost
    ::1                                        localhost
    If that's not what you see, post the contents of the window.

  • After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

    After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

    Interesting bug. I'm cautiously optimistic this will get rid of the weekly annoyance. The difference is that I bought my laptop back in Feb 2015, so it came with Yosemite. I think the issue may have appeared soon after an OS update not long after I got the thing, though. I was using a sudo command in the Terminal, but that is obviously not a fix.
    I wonder if there is a broken .plist file that may be fixed ...?

  • Accidently deleted the little Mac spring icon from dock, can I get it back?

    I accidently moved the little springy Mac icon that lived on the right hand side of the dock, next to the trash, out of the dock, and it disappeared with a puff of smoke. I am not sure what it was or whether I needed it..I think it was a web link to Apple..? Anyway,its gone and I can't find it on my computer.
    What was it and can I get it back? Do I need it?

    From Safari, click and drag the icon next to the web address (in the address bar) down to the Dock (on the side with the Trashcan).
    It was only a shortcut to the Apple home page..
