Can't share Safari link via Twitter on iPhone5

Hi all,
I've just upgraded to an iPhone5, latest iOS (6.1.4) and restored my old iPhone 4 set-up via iCloud back-up. Everything's fine so far, except for my Twitter account. It works fine, until I try to share a page I've opened in Safari via Safari Twitter share button. I just get a message telling me 'Cannot send tweet [link details] because the connection to Twitter failed'.
I can RT and send Tweets, I'm signed in to Twitter via the iPhone app and via Safari. If I check my Safari settings, there doesn't appear to be anything I can set or change to sort things out. In my Twitter settings, I notice there are only two apps listed under 'Allow these apps to use your account' (and one of them, bizarrely, is Twitter!). There doesn't seem to be any way to add an app to the list that Twitter can use. What's annoying is that on my iPhone 4 there were a whole bunch of apps that I could use with Twitter.
Restoring from my old phone back-up should have simply transferred everything over as it was. That's what's happened with everything else I've checked. I'm guessing, only guessing, that my problem might have something to do with how Twitter is integrated into Safari in iOS 6 in a way it wasn't before.
The only other thing that could affect this is the fact that, because I was on an iPhone 4, I didn't upgrade to iOS 6, sticking with the final iOS 5 instead. Even so, I had no warnings or prompts telling me this might be a problem when I upgraded.
Sorry for involved explanation, but if anyone can help, I'd be grateful.

Thanks. It turns out the solution is simpler, but extremely annoying. Despite being signed into Twitter on my twitter up and being able to use Twitter in every way possible except for sharing, it turns out that I had to be signed on on my phone via my web browser version of Twitter for it to recognise that I was connected to Twitter. It makes no sense, and also means that the transefr between iPhone 4G and iPhone 5 is not quite as thorough as it wants us to believe, because everything was OK on my previous phone. Although I must confess I don't remember logging in via my browser on that - it was some years ago though.
So, resolved, and perhaps a minor irritation - but one of those times when you wonder if things could be a little more intuitive.

I was under the impression that having a journal would be safer, not just for the boot drive. Any volume that is not properly unmounted before removed (or the couputer is turned off) might be left in an incomplete save state, since data might have been saved to buffers only, not to the disk proper.
To me safer would be better. Apple has added journaling to HFS+ which is good, and there are several journaling file systems for Linux. Nothing in common. Not even with Windows. I guess I will have to use HFS+ with the journal turned off, but it seems suboptimal to me.

Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Help!

Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Can't share a link in safari through email on ipad air

If I try to share through Messages it works, just the Mail is not working

TS4001 How can I share Safari bookmarks between two iCloud accounts using IOS 7 and Mavericks?

Before iOS 7 and Mavericks, we were able to share Safari bookmarks between all of our devices. My wife had the primary iCloud account which was setup to share bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. A secondary iCloud account was setup on my phone for only my email. Each phone had our private email accounts segregated and we shared all the bookmarks, contacts, calendars and reminders. When I saved a bookmark on my phone, I could see it later on our iMac or iPad. Now only my wife can sync bookmarks between her phone and the iMac or iPad. This *****!! This worked beautifully before we upgraded to the latest versions of OS & iOS. Is there a work around or a new way to set things up? I don't want to be stuck reading Safari on my phone when I have a 24" iMac sitting in the living room. I don't want to see all of my wife's email on my phone either. Do we need three iCloud accounts now? One main for sharing and two separate accounts for only email? Need help! Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

David,
Thanks for the reply. That's how I set it up originally. Although the new iOS 7 update lost some functionality. I found the following on the TUAW website. The Safari Bookmarks and Find My Phone options have been removed from the secondary iCloud accounts options. This is the problem. Everything worked great before we updated. I guess "new way" consolidates the iCloud accounts better with Maverick? Now I will have extra documents on my phone that I don't need. We will both have to share the same iCloud storage and backup space too. Have to try it out and see how it works. Thanks.

How can i share a video via email?

how can i share a video from iMovie 09 (8.0.6) via email?
I have tried saving to desktop and attaching by even my 1 minute clip will not go through.

So it was your mail server limitations. Well, as I said, that's what these media sharing services are for.
It depends on the service, but generally up to about 1GB can be uploaded for free. You are given a unique and private url of the upload which you give to people who you want to allow to download it. They can then download the file you uploaded (again for free).
When you do the upload you are also given instructions on how to delete your upload if you wish. It's usually another url. Then you can delete it later if you wish or just leave up there as long as you want.
The only restrictions on using these services for free (other than the max file size) is that most will throttle down the download speed and limit how soon you could do two downloads back to back. Also they ask for a capcha. Basically they try to be as annoying as possible to make you pay them for their service.
By the way, IMO, rapidshare is one of the most annoying of them all.
I am not familiar with the one Matt Clifton is recommending. It's probably is as good as any to choose. As I said there are hundreds of them. All have a similar paradigm (free vs. paid). Google something like "sites like rapidshare" and you tons of them.

How can I share this link Tell Congress to stop bulk collection of our personal information. there is no easy way to do this other then copy the entire link

I want to share the link and post the:
Tell Congress:
It’s Time to Stop Mass Surveillance
Mass surveillance threatens people’s privacy and security online.
Tell Congress to stop bulk collection of our personal information.
there is no easy way to post this or forward without sending the entire page link and nobody will touch those if something like a preview doesn't show up, just looks like a bunch of unsafe links to most people, you need to have a share button on this if you really want us to share it

Heres the link to "Take action" http://mzl.la/1CgTnKg. In the future if you want to copy links, right click the address bar, and the whole link should be selected, then click "Copy" in the menu that comes up.
Have a great day!!

Can't share to facebook via safari anymore??

When Safari opens a link on my iphone and I want to share it to my facebook page, I used to be able to hit the envelope with the arrow coming out of it on the bottom of the screen (middle). When I do this now, facebook is not longer listed on my phone, however Twitter, Print, Add Bookmark, Add a Reading List, Add to Home Screen, Mail Link to this Page are all options. My husband gets Facebook as an option on his iphone, and as I said I used to as well. How do I get this capability back? It drives me nuts without it.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Lyndsie

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
Does it work fine when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network? If yes, I suggest that you check your APNs, so there are no Proxy/Port that is causing this behaviour. You can find this via Settings > More... > Mobile networks > Access point name > Tap your internet APN and remove Proxy/Port if they are set.

Can't share internet connection via firewire - missing something obvious?

I have my G4 933 connected via ethernet to a Dynalink RTA100+ DSL modem/router. Would like to share this internet connection with anther G4 450 (time warp here) over firewire until I sort a proper router... both are running on 10.4.11
I connected the computers with firewire cable and configured the firewire ports Manually (as I couldn't get DHCP to populate them in the right range).
Tried initially turning on Personal File and Web Sharing on each, but couldn't get a Ping to go through g4 to g4, even though I can see each firewire port's ip in each other's routing table info...
Also turned on Internet Sharing over Firewire port from Ethernet but G4 450 can't connect.
Read somewhere that you can't do both, so have reverted to just trying to get the Internet Sharing working (as that's all the kids really want on their computer!)
Dug around in the modem for ages tried it in Bridge mode, couldn't connect either computer to internet then so have gone back to normal PPP settings with DHCP.

Now, nothing is actually connecting at all, yet when I do a Netstat of the Routing Table info, the firewire IPs are showing up on each G4...but still no ping, no internet.
All suggestions appreciated as I've been searching around the internet to no avail today!

Hi Rose,
You can't Manually set the IPs for Internet Sharing according to Apple, (I've done it, but not consistently),
You do want the G4/450 to use DHCP, the G4/933 will likely end up handing out an IP to the 450 of 192.168.2.4, (one higher in the 3rd & 4th place, and wont work if the 933 started out as x.x.2.x), but it must do it itself to keep track of NAT within itself.
True you can't do both File & Internet Sharing at once.
On the G4/933, en0/Ethernet needs to be dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations. On the G4/450, fw0/Firewire needs to be dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations.
Internet Sharing needs to be OFF on the 450 & rebooted if it was ON.
As far as the Setting not sticking, there may be more, but Trash these two files on the 933 then Reboot...

Why i can't share my documents via e-mail?

I click on share, then via e-mail and then you can chose between numbers, excel and PDF but after doing all this, the mail window doesn't open anymore, before was good but it just stoped working.
Help please

In theory, slash or colon were not allowed in filenames.
For years, the operating system did its best to behave correctly with them.
It seems that, at last, Apple decided that the rule must apply and we see examples of tools failing when the rule isn't applied.
I remember that some years ago we had the same kind of problems with filename embedding the character # which is legal.
During 11 days I fought against the Bug Reporter Web site which failed when I tried to file a reporet with an attachment.
At last, I discovered that the wrongdoer was the character à which is embedded in the screenshot's name created on French system (Capture d’écran 2011-10-05 à 12:34:56)
So, if you have items whose name embed the forbidden chars, the answer is simple : hurry up, rename them.

Can I share contacts too via Family Sharing?

My friend has my old iPhone 4s and she's logged in on my iCloud account. I want to log her in to her own iCloud account and then add her to Family Sharing. I read that we can share contacts and app purchases. But how about our contacts?

Greetings msummerone,
Family Sharing allows members of one family to share items purchased from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store. Items from other sources are not part of the content that can be shared through it. See this article for reference -
OS X Yosemite: What is Family Sharing?
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

Can't share multiple folders via NFS (only 1 folder)

I created an "exports" file and am able to successfuly share one folder. The example entry is as follows:
"/Volumes/Drive 1/My Videos" -mapall=root -network 10.0.1 -mask 255.255.255.0
But when I try to share a second folder and restart the NFS server daemon, nothing is shared by OS X at all according to "showmount," either on the host server or on client Macs (all using Lion; I never tried this under Snow Leopard):
"/Volumes/Drive 1/My Videos" -mapall=root -network 10.0.1 -mask 255.255.255.0
"/Volumes/Drive 2/More Videos" -mappall=root -network 10.0.1 -mask 255.255.255 0
Deleting the second entry and OS X shares the one location fine again.
Is there something I'm missing here?

hi Samberl
thanks a lot for the fast reply.
I was dragging folders from main folders on the laptop-desktop onto the external drive icon - to copy them across....
Your suggestion sounds very promising - I didn't know about 'cloning'.
Yes the idea is to backup the laptop - I thought I would just move it all now, new - and then keep saving/dragging physically across to the new drive myself each day or two...
Would this be the sizeof the internal hard drive = c.500 gb ? = under the HD icon on desktop is written :
" 499.76gb , 311.5 gb free "
I can erase and start agin on the new external drive - so this plan is to make two partititions, rather than the one at present, and make one of them 500 gb ?
I have found CCC [carbon copy cloner] googling - looks good.
When CCC site says it backs up the hard drive - would this mean all my files [over 100 gb] that are mostly in folders on the desktop, plus the others in itunes, iphotos etc found in the HD icon, would all copy across successfully [wherever they are in the computer ] ?
thanks again, hope you can clarify these things and then I will go for it.
It would be great and amazing if this 'lack of permission' message doesn't show up in the process of doing this ccc transfer - hopeful!

Can't share video recordings via email

It works great on my gmail and AOL accounts but I can't send recorded videos through my yahoo account even on WIFI. It just stays in the outbox forever then it states email is unable to send...

Okay, I have been reading lots of complaints about e-mailing videos using Yahoo.
Don't bother! It won't go (if it's more than 10 seconds in length) The apple tech rep told me Yahoo's servers won't be able to handle the file, so I switched to sending on Comcast and my Gmail account...it works fine!

Can people share epub books via dropbox and use iBooks to read them?

my sister put an epub copy of a book I'd like to read in my dropbox folder, but when i load it on itunes on my mac, then sync my ipad, I get an error message ( invalid file format) message.
Is this a DRM issue? To me, it's the same as her buying a hard cover book and lending it to me when she's done.
Thank you

Not possible, Apple doesn't share your view on this question.
