Why do I have to sign in after screen lock and/or sleep?

I use Skype, YIM, Facebook, etc., and I want to stay signed in all the time. Whenever my ipod is awakened from sleep or brought out of screen lock, everything is signed out and has to sign back in. I miss calls and messages this way. I appreciate the screen lock and wish to keep it operating, so how can I keep everything signed in after the screen locks?

You need to change the settings in each app. I don't use YIM, but Skype and Facebook I do use.
Under Settings >> Skype, make sure "Sign In Automatically" is on, "Go Offline" is set to never, and notifications are active. The "Don't Auto-Lock" only applies to calls made.
Under Settings >> Facebook, tap "Push Notifications" and make sure the notifications you want to be notified about are set to "On".
Under Settings >> Notifications, make sure they are on, and the types of alerts are on (Badges, Alerts, and/or Sounds).
Under Settings >> General >> Auto-Lock, make sure it is set to "Never".
For some reason, there are a couple of things that still won't happen correctly: Facebook will place a badge for activity, but it still tends to take minutes (or may NEVER) update your page to show you what occurred (I often get Notifications on wall posts that never show in the notification tray). Skype WON'T notify you of a call unless you are actively on the iPod, but you can receive messages, so I would tell whoever calls you to message you first to make sure you are actively able to receive the call (since any chat messages will alert you).

  • Why do I have to Sign In to use my product?

    Why do we have to ask the community (which basically is quite ignorant) our questions when Adobe has the answers? We buy the product from Adobe, but have to ask people who don't really have a clue how to solve the problem. Why can't we ask Adobe? Have they gotten so big that we, the consumer, don't count anymore? Are they so big that it's up to the users to solve their problems when it's Adobe's job to answer and solve the issues? Just curious because it's getting harder and harder to reach Adobe to get help. Shuck's you can't even e-mail them any more. Instead they have these "Forums." Lame. If you do have the opportunity to make it through to a live person, they're from a continent that speaks a language similar to ours but all they can do is appologize instead of fixing the problem. This is really poor customer service. Am I the only who feels this way?
    Oh yeah my question/discussion; "Why do I have to Sign In?" I bought the product, installed the product, now I have to Sign In or I can't use the product - it will become unusable?

    Hello George,
    You should really be co-operative around here to get help. Charles is one of the most helpful members to the forum and has been, for a long time now.
    Anyway, I don't want to get there.
    These points from the FAQ clearly answer your question - WHY:
    Q. What if the customer does not have Internet access at installation?
    A. There are two options if the customer is offline at installation:
    • If the customer’s computer is temporarily offline (e.g. he or she is travelling or has Internet connectivity
    issues), the customer will have seven days after the first launch of the product to connect to the Internet
    and log in with his or her Adobe ID.
    • If the customer’s computer is permanently offline (e.g., he or she works in a secure environment), the customer
    will need to complete an Offline Activation process using an Internet-enabled device, also within
    seven days of the first launch of the product. See below for more information on the offline activation
    process.
    Q. Why will an Adobe ID be required for Creative Suite 6 perpetual products?
    A. Adobe Creative Suite 6 products’ serial numbers (for perpetual licenses) and Adobe subscriptions will now be
    registered under a customer’s Adobe ID. Adobe IDs provide customers with easy access to their serial numbers,
    subscriptions, free or paid areas of Adobe Creative Cloud, as well as the Adobe.com community. Customers can
    visit My Adobe at https://www.adobe.com/account.html to access their serial numbers and subscriptions.
    Q. Do users need to be online to use Creative Suite 6 perpetual products?
    A. No. After the one-time activation and login process, users no longer need to be online to use Creative Suite 6
    perpetual products.
    Note: For Adobe product subscriptions or Creative Cloud memberships, recurrent Internet connectivity is required
    to confirm subscription status.
    Q. How does offline activation work?
    A. To perform offline activation, the customer should click the “I cannot access the Internet” link in the product
    launch screen and then follow the prompts. Once the offline computer generates a machine-specific Request
    Code, the customer will need to use an Internet-enabled device to access www.adobe.com/go/getactivated and
    enter the Request Code where prompted. The customer will receive a Response Code that must be entered in the
    offline machine to complete the offline activation.
    Important Notes: Request Codes are machine-specific and only valid for 72 hours. Customers need to request
    one code per machine and can easily request a new code if the process has not been completed within 72 hours.
    For more information, go to www.adobe.com/go/getactivated.
    The reason for activating it online - so that YOU have access to your serial number (even if you lose it, ever). Yes, we have seen many a people losing their serial numbers - some in 1 month of activation and some after 2 years. When you activate it online, your serial number is assigned to your Adobe ID. Take for example, a Mac. You need an Apple ID to be able to use the App Store - to keep track of all your purchases as well as your subscriptions. This is exactly the same.
    You don't have to keep doing this every week. It is one-time only activation for perpetual licenses. The 7 days mentioned is the period you get to use the software without activation.
    Trust this helps.
    If you still need further support and if you want it from Adobe directly, like I mentioned earlier, please tweet @Adobe_care.

  • Why do i have to sign in to my wifi every time i turn ipad mini on

    why do i have to sign in to my wifi every time i turn ipad mini on

    Do #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • HT2534 Why do I have to sign in to download a free app

    Some apps that are free want me to sign to apple account to download.  Want me to verify my credit Cade info.  If app is free why do I have to sign in

    Every app that is downloaded from the App store is authenticated or associated to the respective Apple ID. Looks like your Apple ID needs to be verified by credit card info.
    You can try creating a free Apple ID. A free Apple ID when created will prompt for sign in but will not insist in getting the credit card info.

  • When I launch Firefox 4.0.1 I get an error message that says "We noticed your may have signed inor signed out in another window. Click Ok to reload your page." I have to sign in with my username and password. Richard

    When I launch Firefox 4.0.1 I get an error message that says "We noticed your may have signed inor signed out in another window. Click Ok to reload your page." I deleted Firefox and reloaded it - did not solve the problem. This started occurring after I downloaded Windows Service Pack 2. I have Vista 7 OS. So every time I close and relaunch Firefox, I have to sign in with my username and password. Very very, annoying. If I can't get this corrected, I have to start using another Browser. Thanks for your help. Richard

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

    I have a sign of a little lock on the top of my iPhone 4 screen and therefore I am not able to hear from the people who call me unless that I switch the speaker on. What should I do

    The little lock has nothing to do with speaker volume.  It means you have locked the rotation on your iPhone.
    Have you tried using the volume control on the side of the iPhone to raise the volume when someone calls?
