Does anyone know why it is taking hours to download an OS7 upgrade? i have fast FIOS connection and my connectivity is excellent at the moment.
Seems beyond strange. I have tried multiple times over the last 24 hours and am still getting the same horribly poor performance. Please help!
Forget the iPhone for a moment.
Will Sprint unlock any phone purchased from them to be used on another carrier? If the answer is no, why should an iPhone be any different?
That being said, the 4S is a world phone meaning it has GSM and CDMA antennas. The iPhone 4 is not.. it is either CDMA (Sprint/Verizon/Cricket) or GSM (AT&T, any number of European carriers, unlocked).
I have never personally known a CDMA carrier to "unlock" a device they sell to allow it to work on another network. Both Sprint and Verizon will unlock the GSM portion of the 4S for International only use.
That $800+ dollar new phone you purchased still works perfectly fine as an iPod touch once off contract or can be sold to another Sprint user to recoup some of your investment.
In the end, it is a decision you have to make as to whether it is financially worthwhile to you to purchase a new phone every year. If you can afford it financially and determine that it is worthwhile to you, then do so. Otherwise, do like millions of others and wait until you are eligible for the subsidized pricing or enjoy your device for as long as you can until it finally dies or becomes too "slow" to use. My 3GS is still running strong after 3+ years and my partner uses it daily as his primary phone/media player.

Does anyone know why a web page would suddenly pop up telling me I have a computer virus and need to call them? When I've called they said they needed access to my computer in order to fix the problem - which I didn't do. Is this legit? An Ad?
That is not legit, it is a scam to gain access to your computer and information.

My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it to show again? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the "movies" section in main menu now. WiFi and home sharing are working.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
If you are still having problems try a restore. -
Does anyone know why iBooks won't let me download a new purchase?
I am frustrated for some reason I cannot download from iBooks. I have over 20 books and for some reason it will not let me purchase a new book. I downloaded a sample but cannot get the entire book. Has anyone had this problem?
Mr. MJ, I know that. I'm not trying to download ibooks or a book on ibooks onto my computer. I'm trying to purchase a book from within the ibooks APP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since you did not read my original post, I will repost it here for you:
"everytime i click "download" in the ibookstore, it says that i need to purchase this book, but it won't allow me to purchase it. I tried emailing apple, and my questions go unanswered"
To explain further: I see the book that I want to purchase, the button says, "download" I tap that, then I get a warning saying "YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THE BOOK BEFORE YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT." So please tell me, how can i purchase a book when the ibookstore will not let me purchase it?
I've tried deleting the ibooks app and reinstalling it. I've tried updating my credit card info. I've changed my password. How can i purchase this book?????? -
When i use eraser tool and take hand off mouse everything i erased reappears, does anyone know why?
When i am using the eraser tool and i take my hand off the mouse all the work i erased instantly reappears, does anyone know why? (i'm very new to illustrator). Thanks in advance for any help.
What Mike says but remember that the eraser is a very crude tool.
As a beginner you should begin by learning how the vector paths behave. Learn how to add and subtract anchor points and work with the bézier handles. -

I am very disappointed that the length of the tutorials offered at my Apple Store have been reduced from 60 minutes to 30 minutes! As for the $100.00 fee charged for the tutorials it has not been reduced to $50.00 This was an option offered to me for a year when I purchased my iMac.
Does anyone know why???
Thanks in advance....
dosouthNo need to apologise. As a newbie, it is easy to stray out of line but it is clear that was not your intention.
This is a technical forum, as has been written, but you are not alone in raising issues in the way you have.
Do not be deterred; just re-read the terms and conditions when you have a moment.
Hopefully this will help for the future. -
Every time I introduce the WPA2 passwords I can´t connect. I can only connect to open wi fi networks? Does anyone know why? Thanks
Some users with various Wi-Fi connection problems have reported that they were given the following instructions by Apple Support, sometimes with success. I can't vouch for this procedure myself. After completing the procedure, you'll have to recreate all your settings in the Network preference pane. Make sure you know how to do that before you begin. Taking screenshots of the preference pane may be helpful.
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
Reset the System Management Controller -
Hi
I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
Thank you,
SanyaCan you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books. -
after restoring my laptop pc to factory settings i noticed my itunes was also removed ever since then i have been trying to install again and ive been having problems, for instance it first said that something named "mobile device service" wasn not installed properly so i went to control panel and had it installed again. Then i ran itunes and everything seems to work but i plug in my iphone and itunes wont sync it nor is any of my apps or music in it. my iphone does show up but other than me being able to see the front page where it shows my basic iphone info it wont do anything else... does anyone know why my itunes wont sync my iphone? usually when you plug in a phone it should ask to sync.

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?
I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do. -

My printer used to work using my wireless network. It failed to print and a diagnostic told me the wireless radio was not working. Does anyone know why?

Does anyone know why some Apps won't load unless I buy a new App?
I've been following a couple of threads. It seems some users, myself included, have a problem where certain Apps will not load. They simply start to open and then return back to the Home screen immediately. When it happens to me (maybe once per week) it's always the same Apps which refuse to load, and they ALL do it - Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Garageband, iMovie, Shareplus all stop working. The reported fix from all users is to go to the AppStore and either update, or buy another App - even a free one. Then all Apps work again properly. It started happening for me after upgrading to iOS 5 but many users had the same issue prior to iOS 5.
So my question is, does anyone know why this is happening? I don't want to find myself out of 3G signal, or abroad when I've turned Data off, and unable to use my Apps. The fix is useful, but I can't understand why we even need a fix. Suggestions?Have you tried a full reset when this happens? This happens to me on rare occasion and a reset fixes things.

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer. -
I am batch processing in PS 2014 (watermark and saving as jpeg from ps file). I get the message for some but not all 'this file needs to be saved as a copy with this option'. And then I have to save it manually. Does anyone know why this happens? (It is just a plain photoshop file, a watermark is added, then save as jpeg - the jpeg is saved to a different folder than the original photoshop file.) It happens for about 10 of 30/40 files approximately . Thank you, Kathryn
I believe I have figured it out - I need to flatten the image, even though there are no layers except for layer 0, first.
