Help< I opened an email with photo attachements and it is taking all day to download, I cant delete it, it just stops mail from working. Everything else was fine till i thought turning off the ipad and trying again would work. It didn`t, I cant turn it on at all - itjust shows the spinning wheel (loading?) icon and nothing else. Being a novice and ive only had this for a couple of weeks i need help!
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hi. I live in New Zealand, and have an iphone 5s. I normally backup to My Computer, as I have alot of photos and videos on my iphone, and icloud only gives 5GB free. In order to fit everything on my phone, I would most likely need the 50GB one, which costs $125 over here. The other day a friend told me I should backup to icloud. So I did. Then yesterday I noticed that she txt me, and it came up with her number, not her name. I thought there was a problem with her phone. But last night I was going through my Contacts list, and I see there is a heap of them missing. I also changed my password on my Yahoo! email account the other day, but I done that on my laptop. So when I went to my settings on my iphone, I just deleted the password and typed in the new one, the emails and everything all came up fine. So I don't think that is the problem. I have read other questions on here and on Google, where they say to go to yr Contacts, and to Groups, untick them all, and tick them again. I have done this, and still they don't come back. Mine Groups appear in the following order: ICLOUD - All iCloud; FACEBOOK - All Facebook; YAHOO! - All Yahoo!. Yahoo! is my primary email account. I have also turned the wifi off on my iphone, then turned the iphone off. Then turned them both back on, this still doesn't work. Yet when I go to my email account on my laptop, that still has all the contacts. "All Yahoo!" is ticked on my iphone, so I don't know why it isnt syncing them to my iphone. I won't be backing up to icloud again. I have now installed an app called My Contents Backup Pro that someone on here mentioned. Wish I'd known about it earlier. Hope someone can help. Thanks
Have you tried the line inputs on the back of your FirePod? If you update its firmware (not sure if you will need to or not), I seem to remember hearing that the FirePod can run without FW connection, i.e. stand alone. In this mode with the outs from your mixer into line ins 1-2 (2nd from left on the back) it should work fine. I say should because I have never tried. However, these are used for returns from an external effects unit. I assume here, and the important word is assume, that there are two so that they can be used as a stereo send or as a mono send. Worth a try! Let us know how it goes.

The mail application on my I-Mac dates all emails, in or out, as 5th (of whatever month it is). It seems to get the time right.
The computer clock is fine. I have no problem with my MacBook - just with the I-Mac. Any ideas, please?OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

My mac won't recognize an external monitor. The screen Goes Blue Once, then goes blue again and the second monitor just turns off. I am using an HDMI adapter to a visio TV. I also have my xbox on the tv. Can anyone Help??
Lol, figured out the first part. Just for those who may be searching, when you click on the Display Preferences, and click on the arraingment tab... it not only shows where your two screens will be displayed, but the WHITE BAR at the top of one screen is the dock/toolbar. Click and hold to grab this and just slide it over to the screen you'd like it to be on.
You have to release it IN the screen box, not on top of it... and it should pop right over to the new (or old) screen. At any rate, you can put the dock on either (or any) screen that you prefer.
I am thinking of ordering more of these. Lol. 3 monitor setup seems like it would be crazy good.
Still looking for the answer to keeping the new 16" screen on the right without switching between screen #s with that... not expose... Lion feature.
Thanks. Hope my other question has an answer out here.

My phone constantly turns it self on and off, it won't let my messages load I carnt text or receive and texts or calls, I have updated the new iso7, can anyone help?
Hello Bricky2013,
The following article has some useful tips that can help stabilize your iPhone.
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

In iWeb I created a hyperlink to a file on my computer. When I publish I get a 404 error for the link. Can anyone help?
How would I check to see if the like works when I enable via the inspector pane
If you enable hyperlinks when you click on the link link to the pdf file it will open a browser window and display the pdf file.
I upload the pdf files to the server and link to them as if they were an external web page:
That's been more reliable for me than linking to the file as Link To: A file and have iWeb upload the pdf file to the serve. -
So today I try to reset my Ipod. But it doesnt work!!! It will turn on for about 5 seconds then shut down and the spinning circle will appear. I tried resetting, but it didnt work. someone please help me before I break this thing!!!!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

MY MAC BOOK ONLY SHOWS A BLANK SCREEN ON START UP
THE SCREEN STAYS WHITE AFTER BEING STARTED. NO KEY AFFECT THE SCREEN
Screen would not function after sleep
MacBook Pro Mod. A1229 running Sys 10.7.2 & Mac Software
Screen would not 'light' after a sleep period (about an hour).
Neither touching the SPACE BAR nor pressing the mouse button had an effect on the screen. However, pressing keys indicated a computer response.
Manual SHUT DOWN by holding power key for 10+ seconds.
Restart was somewhat normal but Apple Logo and 'activity' wheel appeared slightly larger than normal and not the same brightness contrast. After initial period the screen went 'blank' but there seemed to be some computer function - response to certain keystrokes. Subsequent retries produced the same result.
Based on Apple Support & Mac Support groups:
1. SMC reset
2. PRAM reset
3. Boot Safe Mode
No change.
Restarted holding Command/S to get UNIX start. The screen did function properly (my knowledge of UNIX is limited - I did NOT attempt a fix from this prompt).
Restarted from the ORIGINAL DVD that came with the machine and the START UP was NORMAL and the SCREEN was NORMAL. This DVD was an install DVD so I used QUIT from the menu bar and the system was still functioning correctly.
Subsequent tests of the SLEEP/WAKE cycles produced normal results with no screen problems.
There are still no problems after two subsequent use periods with normal shut downs and normal start ups. -

My Playlist only appear in the itunes when the ipod is connected , and I can not drag a song into a playlist, Also I repeatedly get a message to authorize the songs purchased in order to sync the ipod. I followed the instructions in the help menu on doing this but nothing seems to work, Help anybody ? Have installed the lastest version of itunes and I'm running windows XP. Thanks
Is it possible that you are not seeing the thirteenth song because you did not scroll all the way down within the playlist?
Hope this helps!

My 2008 MacBook Pro is turning on but the screen stays black. It makes the turning on noise but nothing happens after that. Can anyone tell me what wrong with it and maybe help me out??
Make a PRAM reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 Also, reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If they don't work, that may be a display or GPU issue. Take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller. If you want to know which is the part, connect an external display
