Brand new iPhone 4s pre-loaded with iOS 5.0.1 and no wi-fi and it forgets contacts. I've tried all the described resets to no avail. I'm really regretting I bought this thing.
The wi-fi will see the networks, but I cannot join them whatsoever. I've tried turning off bluetooth, location services, etc. I've tried various resets described on the web, but none of them seem to affect it.
And now today, I go to send a txt message and the history lists nothing but phone numbers. Even though you look and the information in the contact list is the same. I txted my girlfriend this morning and she said it came from my hotmail address?!
I'm very frustrated already and I've only owned this iPhone for a day. This iPhone 4s is my first apple product, and to say I'm disappointed is an understatement.
There is no hard or soft iPhone reset. There is just a reset, which is similar to a computer restart.
Any error message provided when trying to join any of the 4 open networks at your workplace?
If no change after resetting network settings, the next step is restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If the same after doing this, your iPhone has a hardware problem especially if everyone else with no issues connecting at your workplace have iOS devices.
Regarding where an iMessage is shown as being sent from, on your iPhone go to Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID.
What is selected for your iMessage Caller ID?

I was enlarging pictures on Facebook to full screen. When i went to move on. All my tool bars and my task bar have disappeared. I have tried all the suggestions on this site to no avail. I don't know how to do a system restore without my task bar, and don't want to lose my book marks. Please help, i can't grt to my important favorite sites.
Can you launch a new window (Ctrl+n for a normal window, Ctrl+Shift+p for a private window) that has the usual complement of toolbars? If a new window also is missing bars, try using the View menu > Toolbars list to restore them. If the classic menu bar is not displayed, usually tapping the Alt key or the F10 key will show it temporarily.

Brand new MacBook - DVD drive loads with clunk, clunk, clunk!
Hi all,
I have set up my new MacBook - very happy so far. This morning I went to load some software via the DVD drive and was shocked at the noise that was made whilst the DVD was loading into the slot and settling - at least three unusually loud clunks. The new iMac I have loads discs silently, so I was thrown by this noise. Does anyone else have this problem? It sounds like something is in the mechanism (there wouldn't be) and that something is about to break.
This is two days old and this is the first time I have used the DVD drive.
Thanks in advance!me too i got a wii (its the only other slot loading disk i have) its silent and pulls the disk in its self very sleek. like you im disapointed at the extreme noise of the loader but that maybe the price for the slim design? need to see if its the same on a macbook pro?

Sound on my iPhone 4S is messed up, tips and suggestions left by others not working any more. At first turning it off for a while worked, when turned it back in the keyboard click would work for a few keystrokes but now not even that. Had the phone for a bit more than a year, so I know my sound is on and checked all my settings. Posted suggestions from support is not helpful. I guess next step is to take it in for repair? Or is this Apple's way of telling us to upgrade? :(
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.
FYI, Apple does not repair iPhones. If basic troubleshooting does not resolve either purchase a new iPhone or take the device to Apple for an Out of Warranty replacement which is $199US for the 4S. -
I can't get Itunes to communicate with my 3rd gen Nano - I've reinstalled iTunes several times but still get the same error message for both mine and my wife's ipod - same version of 3rd gen. All the troubleshooting guide has been followed but still not connecting.
Any ideas?Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok. -
I am trying to download iTunes to my laptop but I keep getting this "Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\ followed by a bunch of numbers and letters. I have unistalled iTunes and all the other apple componants. I also used followed this http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3581. But I am still getting the same "Could not open key:" error and it tells me that iTunes could not download.
On occasion, when changing ownership or permissions has no effect on the UNKNOWN\Components\ error, the fixit from the following Microsoft document sometimes works:

IPhone 3G STILL Crashes with iOS 4.0.x and 4.1 update
I'm still having performance issues. My iPhone 3G boot up time has increase but it still crashes every time I tried to use it,
regardless if I use it for gaming, being on the phone, or anything. The battery meters keeps on showing that my battery is low when I know I had it plugged and had it fully charged just 10 to 20 minutes ago and I had not used the phone yet it was just on standby mode. I'm very frustrated with my upgrade OS 4.0.1 and 4.1 makes me wants to go back to OS 3.
The updated iOS 4.1 had not fix my major issues. Very disappointed with Apple!Hey BuePod,
What the guy meant my "...kick the iphone out of recovery mode..." please read below & I had included a link below to his comments;
"To kick the iPhone out of recovery mode following the downgrade you’ll also require Umbrella, handy little app which you can obtain from my site here (Umbrella-4.00.80.zip) or direct from the authors iPhone firmware site. I didn’t allow it access through my firewall (tries to save SHSH blobs, by design, on a remote server – not required to kick out of Recovery Mode). This simple app has the advantages of not requiring additional DLLs or other files installing, functions on x32 and x64 systems and not attempting to do anything untoward to your system."

New iPhone 6 Plus crashed during ios 8.1 update and iTunes isn't recognizing the device
I deleted a bunch of pictures and music on my phone to have enough storage space to back up my phone. I decided to update my phone first (ios 8.1) and it seemed to be going smoothly. It's hard to remember exactly what happened but when it was almost complete, something went wrong and it indicated that it hadn't installed correctly. It said I needed to clear more storage space in order to complete the installation so I restarted the phone. When it turned back on, I attempted to install the update again (the storage wasn't an issue) and it immediately went into "verifying install" mode before shutting off. Now I only have the screen that indicates I need to plug it into iTunes but the device isn't recognized when I plug it in. Powering it down, holding down different buttons, etc. doesn't work! Help!
Which OS?
iOS: Device not recognised in iTunes

my new iphone 4 is stuck with "USB connect to itunes". I put it in recovery mode last night. Itunes recognizes the phone and says it's in recovery mode, but when I do a restore, nothing changes.
it says "itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." I click OK
then I click the restore button
Then the box says "Are you sure you want to restore the iphone to it's factory settings? all of your.....etc." I click Restore and Update
then it goes into software update
at the end of the software update it says "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode...."
All this time, the screen of the iphone stays on with USB to Itunes
I might add that while the phone was in it's first attempt at recovery mode, it was accidentally unplugged.
any suggestions? -

What is "ue speaker"?
Ultimate Ears wirless bluetooth speaker?
Set speaker to Pairing mode.
On the iPhone, Settings > BlueTooth.
Select the speaker. -

I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?
If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.
