TS4006 Last known fix for Find my iPad? How is this not an included option for devices that are currently turned off. Absolute no brainer. Thief steals the iPad and turns it offline, or user loses it while it has low battery, lost forever. Brilliant.

If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

MY ipod doesnt show up under devices on the left side bar? and now the option for devices has completely disappeared?

I can't find the option for "devices" on the left sidebar in itunes, where my ipod should show up? It has disappeared. How can I get it back?

Hi SMM1971,
If you click on View in the top menu, and then click on Show Sidebar, then you will see the Devices listed (when your device is connected) under the Library and Store.
The reason it disappeared is because that little "iPod" indicator that shows on the top also has the "Eject" button right next to the iPod name, and it is really easy to click on that instead of the button itself....
Cheers,

One finger scrolling option for mouse is GONE from preferences?

The one finger scrolling option for mouse is apparently GONE from the mouse system preferences? Why do they move/hide this stuff every other system update? Grrrrr!
I turned off the one finger scrolling option in mouse preferences a while back before my last system update to OSX 10.8.5 because it screwed me up in Photoshop/Illustrator. Recently using Chrome I found I couldn't scroll down windows now on some web pages because the scroll bar at the right doesn't show up very well. I usually use Safari and it works there so it's a Chrome problem. However, I want to turn the one-finger scrolling back on for some things from time to time. When I tried to check the box in mouse preferences, to my horror, that option appears to be gone. What?!? Help!
*totally waiting for a simple answer that I overlooked. I hope.

Did you look in the Zoom menu (press F10 to make the menu bar appear)?

Bluetooth option for a 2011 Honda Pilot and a 2011 Honda CRV.

I saw on Ebay a kit made by Isimple for the Honda Pilot and Honda CRV. Does best buy sell this kit and install it? its called:
iSimple iSHD571 iPod, iPhone, Bluetooth, HD/Sirius Radio Interface for Select 2004-11 Honda/Acura
Product ID: iSHD571
It works thru the Radio/Stereo of a a XM equiped Honda.
Thanks

We do not seem to carry the ISHD571, but I took a look at the contents of it and it seems that the ISIM73 that we do carry comes with all the same parts.
The contents of the ISHD571:
1. PXAMG (the actual module itself)
2. PGHHD1 (harness that connects the PXAMG to your factory stereo)
3. AUX cable
4. Ipod specific cable
The contents of the ISIM73:
1. PXAMG
2. PGHHD1 (plus a few more harnesses for other makes)
3. AUX cable
4. Ipod specific cable
From what I can tell, they are the exact same thing and the only difference is that the ISIM73 come with more harnesses to use on other vehicles. The application guide on the box only shows those vehicles to 2010, but if the 2011 uses the PGHHD1 harness...it is in there.

Migration Option for Devices that Doesn't Meet Requirements

We have a Family MobileMe Pack and have an iMac with Snow Leopard. When I chose to move 2 accounts that the iMac uses to iCloud, I selected the option to "keep using your email after MobileMe ends" so that these accounts will still work on Mail for the iMac.
When I check the accounts under the Master account, these 2 accounts show (Remove Account) instead of (Migrated to iCloud) as is the case for my kids' accounts.
Now I'm confused as to whether these 2 accounts are really migrated or not. And I'm not sure I can move the Master account to iCloud before these 2 accounts have been migrated. I've read I cannot manage any of the family accounts anymore once the Master account moves to iCloud. But time is running out.
So confused. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks.

If you have a Family Pack, each sub-account and the master account can be regarded as individual and separate for the purposes of the exercise. In each case all you have to do is go to http://me.com/move and follow the instructions, and it doesn't matter what order you do it in. Because of confusingly worded instructions from Apple some people have got the impression they have to cancel the sub-accounts first: do not do this.
If you migrate the master account first the others will continue to run: obviously what was the master account will not have any control over them nor be able to administer or delete them in the event it wanted to. If you migrate a sub-account while the master account is still running you can't create a new sub-account to fill the gap. Aliases will be maintained but unlike in the MobileMe Family Pack you cannot convert an alias to a full iCloud account.
Apple have provided a facility for MobileMe users whose computers don't meet the requirements to migrate their email only to iCloud. If you choose this option only your email will be migrated to iCloud. It's not entirely clear whether this takes place immediately or waits until July 1, but you can easily check by seeing whether your email is available at http://me.com or athttp://icloud.com - if the latter, the migration has taken place (give it time to take effect before checking).
On July 1 all other data on MobileMe will be deleted, but your email will be accessible at http://icloud.com.
Though Apple have not included this information, you will be able to set mail up manually to access your iCloud email by following the instructions on these pages:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
Apple have not stated what will happen if you do not follow this process. It seems safe to assume that in that case your emails will be deleted and you will lose the account.

Changing View Options for a Finder SEARCH Results

I want to add SIZE to the Finder window that is generated from a <command> Find.
I cannot add anything to the standard Name/Kind/Last Opened. I want to add SIZE to the search results window. When I choose View Options, the options window says:
There are no view options for the Searching This Mac window.

In normal Finder windows you can select View>view options>*Calculate all sizes*
In Finder search window results, this has been hobbled. Here is the work around:

Windows 8.1: no Bluetooth menu in Device Manager

I just installed Windows 8.1 using BootCamp on my iMac (27-inch, Late 2012).
I downloaded afterwards the latest BootCamp support software (5.1.5) and installed the additionnal drivers, including the Broadcom ones. Bluetooth was working fine, my Apple Wireless Keyboard was responding and everything was a-okay.
I bought another keyboard -- a Microsoft Scultp Mobile one. It's also a Bluetooth device. So I go into Control Panel / Hardware and Sound / Add a device. Windows can't seem to detect any Bluetooth device as a try to add this new keyboard. I go into Setting / Change PC Settings to check out the Bluetooth menu and I found out it has suddenly disappear. I investigate further, check into Device Manager to see what's going on with the Bluetooth drivers only to find that there is no more Bluetooth menu available. It was there before between "Audio Input and Outputs" and "Computer", but now there's nothing.
I checked online but the only I found was for some people to remove their MotionInJoy drivers to make the menu reappear. I unfortunately never installed such a driver so it's not the source of my problem. I've used Windows Troubleshoothing to see if there was any drivers that I was missing but everything was okay on that front.
I can't bring back the Bluetooth option at all. I switched back to my MacOS X Mavericks session. The Bluetooth is working without problem there. But once I switch back to my Windows 8.1 session, there is still no Bluetooth options to be found anywhere. It makes no sense since it was there once I successfully installed this OS using BootCamp. How can a whole feature just disappear like that? I can't add anymore Bluetooth peripherals without this menu.
Somehow though, my Apple Wireless Keyboard, which is Bluetooth, can still work. Maybe through a separate driver from the BootCamp support software?
Is there a solution to this problem? Can I bring back the Bluetooth option in Device Manager? Has anyone encountered the same problem?

I recently had some BT issue's in Win8 so I wrote a topic about this subject. Maybe you need to replace the Broadcom drivers as well.
Please have a look here:

Good luck.

Error while mapping a Java class for a Search Dialog Box component

Hi,
Scenario : There is PAR which I have developed for the sorting options for a Search Component set to be used in Km Search Iview.
I have copied this PAR from a similiar search functionality and customised the same.
Problem: When I deploy the PAR and then map this class for the sort options while creating a New Search Dialog box :
I get the following "Class not found error" ... Please can you let me know what could be the problem.
Any help would be appreciated here as I have tried all the possibilities to solve the problem.
Regards,
Vaishali.

I modified the xml file as described in the forum.But the error persists.
One interesting thing is:
When I create model after restarting the NDS,I get the following error:
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable <i>(java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: JCO.classInitialize(): Could not load middleware layer 'com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC'
JCO.nativeInit(): Could not initialize dynamic link library librfc. Found version "620.0.1237" but required at least version "620.0.1374".)</i>
I get the NoClassDef found error next time onwards,
Where do I get the 620.0.1374 version of librfc?
thanx.

HT201401 My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices

My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices. Anyone ever had this issue?
Thanks

Can you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car? If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down. Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems. Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this. Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends. A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first.

HT3887 I am trying to pair my iphone 4 to my 2011 Kluger KX-R. I have turned bluetooth on my phone but it keeps searching for devices and can not find any. My computer can find my phone but my phone can not find my computer.

I am trying to pair my phone to my 2011 Toyota kluger KX-R. I have turned bluetooth on my phone but it keeps searching for devices and can not find any, including my computer.

No worries. Often after iTunes updates you have to reconnect your device in order for iTunes to see it. Happens to me all the time!

I cannot get my iPhone 5s to Bluetooth pair with any device - it is continually searching for devices

I want to pair my iPhone 5s with the Mini Boombox I was using with my iPhone 3Gs.
Once the iPhone Bluetooth setting has been switched on the 5s just continually searches for devices and finds nothing - although the Boombox is beside it on my table (yes, and switched on).

Hello Ken,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your new Bluetooth Mini Boombox. I am sure you are eager to use your new speaker.
I recommend reviewing the following article for steps to troubleshoot the issue you described:

I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this? My tech skills are lacking

I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
Pair Headset with Phone
Turn off headset off
Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode. With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone. So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
Reset Paired Devices List
On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds. A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset. Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'. Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected".
Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
I hope this helps others!

Since reconnecting bluetooth on my 3G after accidently dropping (the ap not the phone) I have successfully reconnected only to find the phone continuously searching for devices. To stop excessive draining of the battery I turn bluetooth off.

After successfully reconnecting my 3G iPhone to bluetooth (I accidently dropped bluetooth) the phone contantly searches for devices. Everything works fine now but it appears the battery is draining more rappidly because the phone is constantly searching in the background. I turn bluetooth off when I exit the but it drives me nutty. Any suggestions?

Is it possible to find out what serial or UDID info is stored on iCloud being used by the FindMyIphone site? The FMI website doesn't show anything but the name and the device image (which is a generic iPhone image, and definitely not the 5S )
Unfortunately not.

Bluetooth continuing to search for devices in jeep hand free

I paired the iphone 3g to my jeep "u conect" hands free, it paired ok but every time I go out of the car the iphone will never be available, tried a different phone and my car system work great, how can i fix the Bluetooth continuing to search for devices and will not conect to the car system

What year is your Jeep? There are a couple of other threads here regarding chyrsler (and other ) vehicles not connecting with phones that have software version 2.0 or higher.
As best as I can tell, it affects 2007 and later chrysler vehicles with Uconnect but not the MyGig system (supposedly there is a patch that you can use to update the MyGig software that may or may not work).
I spoke with an apple tech support person and he couldn't help. They didn't have anything in his help files to fix the problem and he actually turned to the message boards to get more info.
That being said, like someone else said, take the time to fill out some feed back.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
If you look at the rest of the bluetooth forum...there are tons of blue tooth issues out there. Might speculate that the only way to make the chrysler issue a priority is to make yourself heard. I personally don't know if there is a better method than the above feedback tool. But, if there is, I'd like to know.
If you are 2006 and earlier...according to others on here, you should be able to get it to work.
