Any tips that might make auto brightness work?

The auto brightness on my iPad Mini (iOS 7.0.4) does not work. I have tried everything. Resetting all settings to resetting network settings does not work for me. Any tips that might make auto brightness work?

Auto brightness will not darken your screen when you enter a dark place until you lock/unlock the screen. If it did the screen would darken everytime something covered the light sensor (which is opposite the home button on the top of the screen next to the front camera).
Autobrightness will automatically raise the brightness of the screen (slowly) when the ambient light brightens.

PowerPoint 2013 - We're sorry something went wrong that might make PowerPoint Unstable

Windows 7 running Office 2013. Mature installation no recent changes.
Simple update to ppt file created in 2003 ( using Compatibility mode). Single user edit saving to my documents
Error Message "We're sorry something went wrong that might make PowerPoint Unstable" / "Please save your presentations and restart PowerPoint"
PowerPoint no longer allows me to save any file in any format without this message.
Actions taken : Restart PowerPoint / Reboots / Deletion of temporary files from C:/Windows/Temp
Problem persists

I had this problem with Win81, PowerPoint 2013, pptx file, no system/software changes or updates that could be blamed. Out of the blue working on an existing document, messages as OP wrote started plaguing PPT. Brand new pptx files created with benign random
text also suffered from this. A save or two within the first 30 seconds of opening or creating the file sometimes went ok, but problem appears inevitably - implicating file lock issue.
There is remarkably little commonality in resolutions of this on the web, and no resolution from MS.
Tried many of the suggestions that can be found - no joy.
Finally isolated this to the live sync on DropBox. If DropBox is active (immediately syncing changes in the background), the problem persists. If DropBox is paused, the problem ceases. DropBox does not need to be removed or exited. If unpaused, problem
immediately starts again. Have not been able to check if other syncing cloud drives have same effect.
What's disturbing is that the DropBox/PowerPoint combination on this machine has been working fine for 1+ years. Turning off DropBox is not an acceptable solution. Perhaps a silent update of one or the other occurred to cause this.

Got M-Cell that gives 5 bars, got full-strenth wifi, Internet on phone doesn't work, any app that uses internet doesn't work, seems like its started when upgraded to 7.1.1

I have an AT&T M-Cell that gives 5 bars, got full-strenth wifi. Same wi-fi that my computer uses, that my Kindle uses. So not capacity issue. but my Internet on phone drops out continuously and frequently, any app that uses internet doesn't work at all. It seems like it started when I upgraded to 7.1.1 I have connectivity like crazy, so why doesn't the internet work?

Reboot your router by powering it down for 30-60 seconds.

I have just got an iPad and I want the music to be transferred through my iPod touch using iCloud but I didn't get the music from iTunes so I don't think it will let me do it. Do you have any tips that could help me?

Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

There not enough room to d/l ios8 on my ipad 2. My 5s phone u/l fine. Should I be concerned about any backups that my ipad would not work with?

My 5s phone d/l ios8 fine. My ipad 2 does not have enough space. Is there any concerns I might have to pay attention to (if) I save to icloud?

No that's not correct. Any apps that were working on your iPad in iOS 7 will still work on your iPad. You would only be downloading apps if you delete them from the device. Most apps are being updated for iOS 8 but that doesn't mean that they will not still work in iOS 7 or in iOS 6 for that matter.
What you cannot do is restore a backup from the phone to the iPad now because you cannot restore a newer OS backup to an older OS device. The phone is running iOS 8 now and that backup will not work on the iPad that is running iOS 7. Do not confuse the backup which contains app data and device settings, with apps that you download from the cloud.
You should be able to delete enough content to make room to download iOS 8, but frankly, since you have an iPad 2, you might want to give some more thought to it before you updates to iOS 8. I am reading some not so favorable reports from users that have the iPad 2 and updated to iOS 8. It is certainly your choice to make one way or the other, but you might want to do a little more research first.

Any tips on getting power management/sleep working on an Ideapad y460 (0633)?

Hi All,
I've decied to try and put Windows 8 on a new SSD and try using it in my Idepad y460 (0633).
I've actually gotten most all of the drivers to work, including the AMD switchable graphics (by running that installer in Win7 compatibility mode).
However, I cannot get sleep to work properly. If not a crash, I experience random messages about services not running when I wake from sleep (i.e. audio service isn't running, network card is listed as 'unavailable', etc.) that require a restart to fix. I've tried running the power management driver listed for my model (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS007793) in Win7 compatibility mode, but all it does is slow down my login, and make windows complain about known compatibility issues. Doesn't fix sleep. I've tried the Lenovo Power Managment for Windows 8 (http://support.lenovo.com/en_GR/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS030850), even though my device wasn't listed. It installs okay, but doesn't fix sleep issues, and the touch buttons still don't work.
For now, I've decided that "Do nothing" on lid close, while "Hibernate" for power button is fast enough and convenient, as those options work just fine. However, I would like sleep to be able to work.
I understand Windows 8 is not actually released yet, but I was wondering if anyone had tried this and found success, as this is the only problem I have left preventing me from using Windows 8 comfortably.
Thanks for any tips,
- Chase

maybe some hints.. elevated cmd prompt
powerCfg /Energy

How does the auto brightness work. Do I need to set it somehow?

In a dark room my iPad is to bright.with the auto brightness on shouldn't it dim automatically?

You can have it on or off. If off, it is manually controlled with the slider.
With it On, it varies with background lighting levels, but you can control the 'relative' brightness with the slider.

Sound is not working for Siri, voice mail, ringer tones, movies or music. I was told by verizon that the speaker maybe out, but that i might want to try and reload or update my itunes by plgging into my home computer... will this help and if so how do I do this?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

I have a keyboard that i'd like to use...don't hate me, but, it's my old microsoft keyboard. My IMAC isn't recognizing it. Is there any way I might get it to work? Thanks!

Is it possible to sync my old microsoft keyboard to my IMAC? I don't have the funds to buy a new one right now and like a larger keyboard...don't hate me...I love my MAC but need a larger keyboard for now.
Thanks!!!

USB keyboards are generic and should work without any difficulty.
If it's a wireless keyboard, it may or may not work, depending on the drivers Microsoft uses. The following instructions apply to Apple Bluetooth keyboards but it may be useful as a general resource: Bluetooth: How to set up your Apple Wireless Keyboard. Be sure to refer to the Bluetooth Quick Assist link as well.
More information may be found in Bluetooth frequently asked questions
There is no way to know whether your keyboard will work or not in advance, but there is no harm in attempting to use one or the other.

How to make Auto Parallelism work?

Hello,
We are running Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production. We have upgraded from 11gR1 recently. We are building a data warehouse in the instance of Oracle I am writing about. Heretofore we had been using hints in queries to take advantage of parallelism. We were hoping to achieve a performance boost by using the new "automatic degree of parallelism" support in 11gR2, but are having some problems understanding how to use it properly. From reading the Oracle white paper on parallelism http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/twp-parallel-execution-fundamentals-133639.pdf , we had thought that by setting the database initialization parameters properly, and removing the query-level hints, and removing the parallel specifications in the table declarations, that Oracle would automatically determine the correct level of parallelism, and apply it. Instead, we have found that the removal of the hints and declarations results in a single-thread execution for our data-load queries, which load 100s of millions of rows, involving joins among tables that each contain more than 90 million rows. Reapplying the hints significantly improves our throughput. During the time we are running the data loads, the data load is the only significant user on our system, and our goal is to complete execution as quickly as possible.
The PLSQL packages that load the data issue a "ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML " before running the loads.
Here are our database initialization parameter settings that relate to parallelism:
NAME TYPE VALUE
fast_start_parallel_rollback string LOW
parallel_adaptive_multi_user boolean FALSE
parallel_automatic_tuning boolean FALSE
parallel_degree_limit string CPU
parallel_degree_policy string AUTO
parallel_execution_message_size integer 16384
parallel_force_local boolean FALSE
parallel_instance_group string
parallel_io_cap_enabled boolean FALSE
parallel_max_servers integer 128
parallel_min_percent integer 0
parallel_min_servers integer 8
parallel_min_time_threshold string AUTO
parallel_server boolean FALSE
parallel_server_instances integer 1
parallel_servers_target integer 128
parallel_threads_per_cpu integer 2
recovery_parallelism integer 4
Any help you can provide to help us use parallelism more effectively in 11gR2 would be gratefully appreciated.

One common mistake is to not run the IO CALIBRATE before enabling AUTODOP=AUTO
you may need to tweak this value or set it manually to something like (0,200,...) -- Check MOS for more on this
this requires a bounce of all instancesAlso: there are thresholds that need to be surpassed:
.e.g the default 10 seconds for parallel_min_time_threshold would suppress parallelism attempts for shorter queries vs. longer
If default load has thousand of short queries this may not be the parameter for you: However you can decrease the threshold to a lower value
such as 5 seconds or less.
EM is a good place to monitor parallelism in real time ( or historically)
- You might consider testing and reviewing if the above is relevant
Last- Trace files including 10046 or 10053 should show AUTODOP being used
- If this is LIMITED but the parameter is AUTO, you probably have no io calibrate stats
Take care

I cant access a website with my AX but if i swap it out with a linksys i can access it. Any ideas how to make the AX work?

As I stated I can t access a specific website. Here is some of the specifics.
1 The website is a redirect from USAJOBS.
2 The websites are goverment sites.
3 The AX is 2nd gen
4 Configured as DHCP
5 The other router is a Linksys
6 The Linksys router is configured as DHCP also.
7 When the redirect happens it just hangs. Nothing is returned.
8 The Linksys is my sons ans will be returning to college in August.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

"Hard reset" the AirPort Express (see below):
While you do that, it's a good idea to reset your cable or DSL modem as well. Make it a rule to reset your modem whenever you connect something different to it. Failure to do that could conceivably explain the problem you are experiencing.
To "hard reset" an AirPort Base Station: make sure it's powered up, then gently press and hold its tiny reset button. Don't apply any more force than required to feel a tactile click. Keep it depressed for five to ten seconds, long enough for its LED to flash amber rapidly. Release the reset button. Then, the LED will glow amber steadily for about a minute. Then, it will flash amber, slowly, about once every second or two, waiting for you to configure it with AirPort Utility.
Following the "hard reset", reconfigure your Express.

Is there any way I can make itunes 10 work for osx 10.4.11?

This computer works perfectly fine and I see no reason to spend another $3000 dollars on a new mac when I spent $3000 on this computer. There has to be some way to trick the computer to run it. I cannot upgrade to 10.5 either because my processor speed is not supported. So where do I go from here? Apple wants you to believe their computers are so good that they never break... well this is true with my powerbook G4 but they don't even believe their own story because they do not support my computer anymore. I have an Iphone 4 and I cannot connect it to my computer. so I buy a $200 phone and have to spend over $1000 for a new computer? is that what apple is telling me?

I was hoping there was a way to fake out itunes programing more so than having to update to 10.5 . I do a lot of web developing and if the 10.5 boot doesn't work I am afraid of losing everything and I do not have the capital to drop down on new programs and such. The other hold up is I don't want to pay 129$ for apples 10.5 DVD. I still think it's bs that they can't just write the program to run on these older operating systems and have a (run at your own risk) disclosure. The other option is to continue to use the computer for what I do and not worry about Itunes and get rid of this stupid iphone nd never buy apple products again. Sounds like a better solution in the long run.

My iphone 4s is charged and I can tell that its on but my screen remains black. Are there any tips that can help before taking it in to the apple store?

I've already tried turning it on and off as well as pressing the sleep/wake and home button together to restart but nothing has happened :/
This is also the second time its happened to my phone as well, the first time it miraculously turned on by itself after an hour

Hi katherian!
I have an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
