Apple has left me out in the cold!
I no longer have access to facetime on my iPad2 running iOS 6.1.3 and this was working fine till a week back. Apple suggests I update my OS to iOS 7 to solve the problem but I am not keen on doing that at all because iPad2 runs very sluggishly on iOS7 and I don't like the neon garish colours on 7. How can Apple do this ? I feel harassed in this suffocating Apple environment where there is no choice at all. I wonder if Steve Jobs stood for this "my way or the highway" attitude that Apple has started throwing at customers of late.
I don't want iOS7! My iPad2 was perfect with IOS 6.1.3 and Apple has no right to deactivate a service that worked exceptionally well on this set up.
"I'm sure it is possible to fix but seeing as you are in the minority and have an option that would allow you to continue to use facetime but you refuse to use that option, that apple doesn't consider it worth their time."
thank goodness governments don't work this way - minorities - not worth their time - refusal to the emperors new direction makes it OUR fault...oh, wait a second.... lol
sorry, I'm trying to find some humour in a situation that I seriously wish Apple would reconsider, as I too prefer 6 over 7.
Can you imagine the flack Microsoft would get if they made XP not funtion when Vista was released, VIsta not function when 7 was released, etc?
I watched TWIT with that guy who used to be good, Leo someone...and they just waxed over this last iOS update without even mentioning the Facetime ultimatum. Apple sure gets some breaks in the press it would seem.
I am not a coder, but is updating a "certificate" difficult? That's a serious question to anyone who understands it. It doesn't seem like it's something that would be worth killing 11% of users hardware over.

So 1st gen ipad users are basiclly left out in the cold unless they go out an buy a new IPad - of course DTV and The Blaze are blaming Apple and Apple is blaming them - what is the deal Apple - I pay for my subscription to The Blaze in order to have it on my IPad and now I can't even use it - same with DTV - so is Apple now forcing people to buy upgraded devices thru their apps that will no longer support the older generations - what a joke this is and bad business.
Unfortunately software always moves faster than hardware.
Apple's not going to change things. You can try talking to those two app developers and have them make their older versions available.

Has the easily scratchable backing on the iphone 5 has been sorted out for the 5S?
Does anyone know if the scratchgate issue has been sorted out for the 5S? Im thinking of getting the black one. Also the Apple site doesnt really give a good feel of what the leather cases will look like - anyone know any better sites?
What other issues with the iphone5 were there that should have been taken care of in 5S? over heating, battery, etc
Also,
I have an iphone 4 - I havent updated the ios software since version 5 I think. If I back up my phone and when the new 5S comes out I restore it onto that will it mess up my contacts, messages, apps etc? Or is there an easier way to transfer the settings and everything as it is on my current phone to the new 5S? Since its a nee OS I wondered whether the apps may end up in different folders etc.
Thanks guys.No one here has gotten their hands on a 5S or 5C as they have not been released yet.

Hello -
We have 3 x EX2010 SP3 RU5 nodes in a cross-site DAG.
Multi-role servers with 18 GB RAM [increased from 16 GB in an attempt to clear this warning without success].
We run nightly backups on both nodes at the Primary Site.
Node 1 backup covers all mailbox databases [active & passive].
Node 2 backup covers the Public Folders database.
The backups for each database are timed so they do not overlap.
During each backup we get several of these event log warnings:
Log Name: Application

Event ID: 906
Task Category: Performance

Computer: EX1.xxx.com
Description:
Information Store (5012) A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file. This may result in severe performance degradation.
See help link for complete details of possible causes.
Resident cache has fallen by 42523 buffers (or 27%) in the last 903 seconds.
Current Total Percent Resident: 26% (110122 of 421303 buffers)
We've rescheduled the backups and the warning message occurences just move with the backup schedules.
We're not aware of perceived end-user performance degradation, overnight backups in this time zone coincide with the business day for mailbox users in SEA.
I raised a call with the Microsoft Enterprise Support folks, they had a look at BPA output and from their diagnostics tool. We have enough RAM and no major issues detected.
They suggested McAfee AV could be the root of our problems, but we have v8.8 with EX2010 exceptions configured.
Backup software is Asigra V12.2 with latest hotfixes.
We're trying to clear up these warnings as they're throwing SCOM alerts and making a mess of availability reporting.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advanceHaving said all that, a colleague has suggested we just limit the amount of RAM available for the EX2010 DB cache
Then it won't have to start releasing RAM when the backup runs, and won't throw SCOM alerts
This attribute should do it...

Give me a shout if this is a bad idea

Hi,
We seem to get this error through SCOM every couple of weeks. It doesn't correlate with the AV updates, so I'm not sure what's eating up the memory. The server has been patched to the latest roll up and service pack. The mailbox servers
have been provisioned sufficiently with more than enough memory. Currently they just slow down until the databases activate on another mailbox server.
A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file.
Any ideas?I've seen this with properly sized servers with very little Exchange load running. It could be a number of different things. Here are some items to check:
Confirm that the server hardware has the latest BIOS, drivers, firmware, etc
Confirm that the Windows OS is running the recommended hotfixes. Here is an older post that might still apply to you
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dblanch/archive/2012/02/27/a-few-hotfixes-to-consider.aspx
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2699780/en-us
Setup a perfmon to capture data from the server. Look for disk performance, excessive paging, CPU/Processor spikes, and more. Use the PAL tool to collect and analyze the perf data -
http://pal.codeplex.com/
Include looking for other applications or processes that might be consuming system resources (AV, Backup, security, etc)
Be sure that the disk are properly aligned -
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mikelag/archive/2011/02/09/how-fragmentation-on-incorrectly-formatted-ntfs-volumes-affects-exchange.aspx
Check that the network is properly configured for Exchange server. You might be surprise how the network config can cause perf & scom alerts.
Make sure that you did not (improperly) statically set msExchESEParamCacheSizeMax and msExchESEParamCacheSizeMin attributes in Active Directory -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee832793(v=exchg.141).aspx
Be sure that hyperthreading is NOT enabled -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd346699(v=exchg.141).aspx#Hyper
Check that there are no hardware issues on the server (RAM, CPU, etc). You might need to run some vendor specific utilities/tools to validate.
Proper paging file configuration should be considered for Exchange servers. You can use the perfmon to see just how much paging is occurring.
These will usually lead you in the right direction. Good Luck! -
This was discussed here, with no resolution

I have the same issue. This is a single-purpose physical mailbox server with 320 users and 72GB of RAM. That should be plenty. I've checked and there are no manual settings for the database cache. There are no other problems with
the server, nothing reported in the logs, except for the aforementioned error (see below).
The server is sluggish. A reboot will clear up the problem temporarily. The only processes using any significant amount of memory are store.exe (using 53GB), regsvc (using 5) and W3 and Monitoringhost.exe using 1 GB each. Does anyone have
any ideas on this?

We had this event log entry as well which SCOM picked up on, and 10 seconds before it the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange updated all of its engines.
We are running Exchange 2010 SP2 RU3 with no file system antivirus (the boxes are restricted and have UAC turned on as mitigations). We are running the servers primarily as Hub Transport servers with 16GB of RAM, but they do have the mailbox role installed
for the sole purpose of serving as our public folder servers.
So we theroized the STORE process was just grabbing a ton of RAM, and occasionally it was told to dump the memory so the other processes could grab some - thus generating the alert. Up until last night we thought nothing of it, but ~25 seconds after the
cache flush to paging file, we got the following alert:

So it seems as if the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange inadvertently trigger the cache flush which didn't appear to happen quick or thuroughly enough for the transport service to do what it needed to do, so it freaked out and performed the subsequent
actions.
Do you have any ideas on how to prevent this 906 warning, which cascaded into a transport service outage?

Why has Lightroom dropped out of the CC app?
Why has Lightroom dropped out of the list of installed applications entirely? And this on two independent systems, even.
It was originally installed through CC and it is still working - but in the CC app it's now listed under "Install new apps".
Here's a screenshot from a couple of weeks ago:
And here's how it looks now:

Wifi button has been greyed out for the past 2 months
my wifi button has been greyed out so for the past 2 months i've been living on cellular data and its getting really annoying. I've tried everything but it won't work any suggestions? apple should really fix this issue or else i might switch to samsung....
Hello there, user10103.
The following Knowledge Base article provides some practical instruction for troubleshooting the very issue you're describing:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, see how to resolve those Wi-Fi issues.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Two iPhones, two Apple IDs, one phone out of the area.
Can music be purchased on iPhone A with Apple ID B to have it available on iPhone B without syncing to a computer? iPhone B owner is out of the area and currently is not able to perform these tasks and does not have access to a computer at this time.
Content can be purchased directly on the device as has always been possible.
Or Downloading past purchases from iTunes.
No need to involve a second iPhone. -

Hi All.
In iPhoto I have lost the double click that opensup photos, the double click now appears as a ! in a triangle. At the same time I have lost the print facility in iPhoto. This happened out of the blue and I have been unable to reconcile either problem. Can anyone help please.
BillThe ! means that iPhoto has lost connection to the origianl file.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
