Auto-brightness switch has disappeared?

So...this is kind of weird. I went into the Wallpapers & Brightness settings to adjust the brightness of my screen and there's no auto-brightness switch. I actually really like the auto-brightness. Constantly adjusting it manually is kind of a pain -- especially if I'm running and my phone is in my armband.
I tried resetting the settings and I just restored my phone. The switch is still gone.
Has anyone else enountered this? Is there something obvious I'm missing? That switch should be there, right?
I have an iPhone 5.
Thanks in advance...

Hello Geoffery Stone,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I want to recommend backing up your phone to iTunes and restore the device, but this time, rather than restoring from a backup, setup the phone as new and see if the switch is there.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
If it is, then restore from your backup. If the switch goes away, then either an app, or a setting is removing it.
If it is a setting, then resetting all your settins should fix it:
Reset iPhone settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.

Dreamweaver cc workspace switcher has disappeared

Dreamweaver cc workspace switcher has disappeared from the top-right Dreamweaver interface. How do I get it back?

Hi Greg,
In latest version of DW CC 2014.1 Compact/Expand workspaces has been removed and Code/Design/Extract workspaces has been introduced.
You can create your own workspace by clicking on the option "New Workspace"
Once you are done with the creation, drag and dock panels as you want to have and then save it to your newly created workspace.
You are done with creation of your own workspace.
Please revert if you have more queries.
Thanks,

Boot Camp "Fast Switching" has disappeared?!?!

I haven't found the need to switch into windows until today because I have been so blown away by the new features(including stacks). But right before I did I remembered the fast switching feature that safe sleeps your mac and hibernates Windows, so you can switch more quickly. I went searching for it and couldn't find. Does anybody know where it went? Or did it.....dun dun dunnn.... disappear??!!?? Iwas really looking forward to this feature and would like to see it found or added sometime soon(10.5.1!).
Thanks,
Sammy

It's apparently gone.
If anyone has any news on this, it'd be nice to hear.
Not like I boot into Windows anyway.

Overnight, my Auto Fill button has disappeared, & I'd like it back!

Left computer running overnight. This morning, several buttons are missing, including Auto Fill. (Can't remember what the others were; apparently don't use them much!). Can anyone help me get Auto Fill back?

See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Restore+the+default+Smart+Bookmarks+Folders
Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
* Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Brightness slider on iphone 5 doesn't work (NOT auto-brightness)

With Auto brightness switched off, sliding the brightness bar from left to right brings little or no change in the brightness of the screen. The screen is always in highest brightness. IT flickers sometimes to a lower brightness but strangly if I shake the phone or tap the brightness changes and comes back to very bright.
Not seen anyone raise this issue. I think there is a hardware defect with gyro someway afffecting the level of brighntness. I could be wrong. Has anyone else seen this issue before ?

I turned to the service provider, they did everything they could. I inserted my simkarty in another Iphone 5 and everything worked well. Today I changed the operator and the problem remained. All operators in our city supports 3G and my previous Iphone 5 worked in the network. Maybe the problem is with the defective module 3G?!

How can I get the Auto Brightness feature to stop turning itself off?

I just moved from a GS5 to the GS6. I'm having several issues with the GS6. For this discussion: I check the box for Auto Brightness control. Shortly thereafter, the box seemingly un-checks itself and the brightness blasts up. That's not easy to read and it certainly will deplete my battery charge more quickly. Have I missed something? Thanks for any and all help.@

Thank you! I removed The Car/Driving app and the Auto Brightness function
has been behaving for almost 1/2 hour now. That's a record! I appreciate
your help!!!

Why does auto brightness has a bug in iOS 7.1.1 . The brightness switches automatically to higher in bright places but not returns to lower brightness in dark places but when you lock and unlock it becomes normal

Hello,
Same problem for me. Really a pain in the *** this bug ! Does Apple fixed it. I'm really suprised noone reports this problem and apple does not adress this.
Because of that, I cannot give it anymore to children because it hurts the view. Really a shame on the part of apple !

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly. This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle. I am not sure what causes it. The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working". It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop).
Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

When I turn on my iPad the grey 'brightness slider' is in the centre of the screen and I can't get rid of it. I've tried switching on / off 'auto-brightness' in 'settings' but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received.

That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

I don't know exactly what the issue is, but I think I do. Are you talking about what happens when you start up your MBP, full brightness, with power cable in - and when you're using battery only, the brightness dims? If so, this is a feature designed to make sure your monitor is bright enough while using batteries - but not so bright as to cause an undue drain on power.
I don't know about a cure to this issue, if indeed this is what you're talking about.

My sound has disappeared-what position should the toggle switch be in? Also my e-mails sticks a lot of the time.

My sound has disappeared - what position should the toggle switch be in? Also, my e-mail sticks a lot of the time, same old problem, no solutions.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
