Bluetooth Icon disappears and no Bluetooth in System Preferences. Can anyone help please. Have reset PRAM and SMC, but this does not work at all.

This issue happened randomly. I was working away and the bluetooth just disappeared. The first time this happened, I reset the SMC and it solved the issue. Now, nothing seems to work including removing the bluetooth plist file. Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks.

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

IPhone 4 Does not charge or get recognized by laptop and the home button does not work at all.

The home button on my iPhone 4 does not work at all. Also, when i plug it in to charge, it does not charge at all, and it doesn't even say that it is connected. What will Apple do about this if i send it off? Will I get a replacement? All answers much appreciated.

Buenas Matias,
Si, pude solucionarlo hace unos dias, al final me arriesgue y compre el "dock connector", un juego de destornilladores para iPhone 4, lo desarme y lo cambie, y al toque empezo a cargar.
No queria esperar semanas para el repuesto de iFixit asi que lo compre en MercadoLibre, estan 160 mangos, y si no te queres arriesgar a desarmarlo y cambiarlo vos, hay algunos que te hacen la instalacion tambien.
Pero primero averigua bien que tengas el mismo problema que yo, o sea el dock connector sirve para lo q describi arriba. Si tenes otro sintoma te recomiendo que investigues porque capaz es otra cosa y terminas gastando un repuesto al pedo.
Espero que te sirva.
Saludos
Gonzalo.

Since installing ICloud, and updating IO, programs and websites close whenever I scroll, going back to home page. I have tried turning it off, but that does not work. Can anyone help me out? Also, the keyboard is very slow.

I am frustrated with the new update and the ICloud. Any program i open, or website I am in, closes suddenly, an returns to the Home page. Also the keyboard is very slow. None of this existed until I did the two updates. Can anyone help?

I'm wondering where the onsite warranty can be in effect. Like, can it be used in ANY city in the US? Can it be used only in metrololitan areas? What is a metro area in Lenovo's eyes?
Does anyone know where I can get better and accurate info on the onsite warranty? Like a coverage map would be very helpful. Because why should I spend the money on it, if I can't access it?
Looking forward to more info...thanks.
There is no coverage map as such.
I live in what is considered a rural area and had techs driving 60-70 miles one way to get to me, never an issue.
Obviously, YMMV.
In my not-so-modest experience, both onsite and accidental damage upgrades are worth every penny if one intends to keep their ThinkPads for an extended period of time.
Good luck.

Unable to use iTunes for about a month on my PC

Own an iPad2, which is working with no problems

System preferences - can anyone help?

Hi all
I've got an imac11,2 and I have no icloud icon in system preferences. I want to back up to icloud but even when I type in finder its not there. All downloads are up to date - is my imac just too old (2011)? Help please...

You don't get icloud with 10.6.8. Only some very sketchy elements of it that are of no use to you. You need at least 10.7 Lion but better Mavericks (if your machine can take it). Then of course, Gary's comments take effect.
Better you buy a portable HD to hold a clone of your system, which you can update every month or so. You store it well away from your computer where it acts as security in the event of machine damage, fire, burglary etc.

Laptop says 'This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English Version'. Can anyone help please, have no idea what to do and haven't used laptop in over a year. iPad/iPhone have lost tunes from laptop too.

my laptop will not open iTunes, as it just says 'This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English version'. I have not synconised my iPhone 5S or iPad 2 with iTunes for well over a year. I noticed the music which had previously been put into iTunes has dissappeared from my phone and iPad. I also want to remove some movies from my iPad and iPhone and there is no way I can do this without being able to manually sync with the Laptop which is running windows 7. Has anyone else come across this and please can you help? I am no expert in fact I know very little about the Laptop, it is my Husbands baby but he doesn't understand anything to do with Apple including iTunes. I will need any advise explained step by step please.

Hi Shelady,
Try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from the first link below. If that doesn't do it, the suggestions in the second article should resolve the installation issue.

I have a 3 slide presentation I want a variable to change when the final slide is finished playing. I went to the final slide and dis On Enter Increment End_swf by 1. but this does not work

I then take the swf of another a program (lectora) and do a get variable, the variable End_swf does not show up, I did create the variable in captivate, also created an action in captivate. and thought the action would activate On enter Slide

Thank you for the Great Response!
I created a variable named “End_swf” to let me know that the presentation was done playing, I can see the variable being updated thanks you for that one
I want bring it into another program (Lectora), and have it read that variable,
What you showed me helps me confirm that there is a variable in the swf
I guess I may have to use Java script to pass that variable on to lectora

Updating to IOS7 caused all files on iPad to disappear and restore from iTunes does not work

I recently updated my iPad to IOS7. Before doing so, I backed up the contents to iTunes. After completing the update, I found that the iPad has been completely cleared out of all files. .It is now completely empty and prompts for a new setup when I turn it on.
So naturally I tried to restore from iTunes. However, although the restore process appears to have completed, nothing changes at all on the iPad. It remains a blank slate.
Can someone please advise how I can recover my files? There are a lot of important photos I want to preserve. Perhaps I am missing some obvious step.
Thank you

Ipad1 with WLAN and 3G but WLAN does not work without SIM Card

I do have that Problem too.
Ipad1 with 3G and WLAN.
But... I do not have a SIM Card. I only use my home WLAN.
I am sure WLAN works and is correct installed (I did the same to my iphone and it works there), AND I can controll my Samsung TV with the Ipad, which only works when both use the same WLAN. So it is installed perfect for sure.
But: when I use safari it shows the URL, but than says there is no connection possible.
Why this?
Do I have to install a SIM Card? How is that? I did not mention to do.
My iOS Software is 5. something (the newest that was possible) since this was a original iPad, never used before.
I installed it with iTunes. iTunes says that the connetction failed BUT all my apps, music and anything else I have from my iPhone are now on the iPad.
Do not understand whats going on.
Again - sure it is on the wlan, but the iPad won´t let my out to connect the world.
Bad since I wanted to use it in the house to read/write emails and for my schedule.
please help soon.
Thanks

A blinking blue dot on a grey screen. In my opinion it doesn't work if that's all you get.
As mentioned in the above thread, there are app store apps (TrackThing, gpsCompass) that will read out your actual position, speed, direction, in numbers, so you can see where you are on a map. (You remember maps? those quaint old world methods of finding where you are?).
This is quite useful in the back country, where cell signals may not reach. I've used gps Compass in the mountains where there was no cell signal. In my case it took about 2 minutes to find the satellites the first time but after that it was very fast.
Its not a substitute for a Garmin, but with a paper map you can still find exactly where you are, and were you are going.
(If you don't know how to navigate with maps, compass, and longitude/latitude numbers, you probably don't belong where there are no cell signals.)

Hey Paul,

backup these plugins - just in case.

HT5559 I've followed the instructions to re-enable apple supplied Java SE 6 but this does not work. Java is still disabled and I'm having problems with dependant applications.

I've followed the instructions to re-enable apple supplied Java SE 6 following upgrade to version 7 which caused a number of applications to stop working.
I wondered if anyone has had any joy re-enabling JAVA SE 6. I've tried contacting Apple but cannot get any response. They've sent me back default messages claiming that they have tried to contact me - they haven't! I'd be grateful for some help with this. Thanks

I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!
