Does it need fixing or there's a software malfunction?

My blackberry's screen suddenly stopped working when mobile is slid up... Later, the next day, I tried unlocking it but touchscreen wasn't working AT ALL... I pressed the lock button to lock it & unlock it, then the screen wouldn't work in any way. The phone hasn't fallen anytime recently but it did fall into water & got repaired 3 months ago

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
That said and given the prior water damage, the only thing predictable about moisture intrusion into a BB (indeed, any electronic device) is that the results will be unpredictable. I've seen some come back up right away and be fine. I've seen others never work at all. I've seen still others run for a bit, and then die later. And every thing in between.
Good luck!

HT4972 How do I know if I have iOS 5 on my iPad. Some of my apps wont update saying I need ios5 but I have no software update on my settings/general tab

My apps on my iPad won't update saying I need ios5. There is no software update tab available under my setting/general tab. How do I update?

Settings>General>About>Version will tell you what iOS you have,
You only have the Software Update option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
Here are the instructions.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
Or you can connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update

Capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

In Pages capitalization doesn't work as described. One can start with lower case and change to upper, but changing from upper case to any of the other options doesn't work. Is there a way around this or is this just a glitch that needs fixing?

I think it does work as described, but the description is not very complete. Capitalization does not change any of the characters that you type; what it does is allow some of the lower case characters to display as capitals. If you copy the result and paste it as plain text, you'll see that the lower case characters are still there. It doesn't actually say anywhere that it can make capitals display as lower case, and it can't.
The obvious way around this is to actually type what you want.
The more powerful way is to install WordService from Devon Technologies which adds the functionality of Pages' capitalization menu as well a lot of other ones. WordService actually changes the character to the one displayed, and it works in most of the applications on your Mac.

Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1. Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2. Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work. Is there a fix?

Trying to install iTunes on Windows 8.1. Apple Application Support was not found. Error 2. Uniinstall iTunes and try again, does not work. Is there a fix?

Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

IS there any app to listen FM radio which does not need internet.

IS there any app to listen FM radio which does not need internet. Because my previous nokia phone had it and I can listen to local FM stations without connecting to internet.

To think outside the box, you could get a headset with FM:
Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth Stereo Headset with FM Radio
Sony Ericsson MH907ch Bluetooth Stereo Headset with FM Radio
I use the first one with my Sony Ericsson phone, which although it does have a FM radio, doesn't work unless I have wired headphones plugged in. And the streaming apps are choppy for me due to the weak 3G signal in my area. (Constant rebuffering.) So with these headsets, I have FM radio and can answer the phone without having to change earbuds and without having having to use up my cellphone's battery power to power the FM radio or the app.

I have read that if you go to Settings, iCloud, and turn off documents and data that this will help with typing.

TA38622 is there any way to send sms by a connected iPhone to computer ? if so does it need any special application and program ? with witch port ? thank you.

Hi, Santosh..., and welcome to the Community,
I would recommend testing the SMS reply forwarding to your mobile number. Depending upon the results and if this works for you, you could then contact Skype Customer Service to cancel and request a refund.
In other words, SMS will be received via your mobile number, not via your Skype Number.

Elaine

There has never been a facetime app on the iphone.
As the manual says, you access from contacts. Pick a contact and scroll down to the facetime button

Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app. Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.

Is there a 12/23/2014 security update for Snow Leopard. Does it need one?

Is there a 12/23/2014 security update for Snow Leopard? Does it need one?

The ntp-4.2.8 folder that's created when you download the /ntp-4.2.8.tar.gz file and unzip it. Inside it are subfolders, such as clockstuff w/propdelay.o and libntp w/a_md5encrypt.o, assertions.o, atoint.o, etc. Many .o files abound.
OK, but this isn't .o, it's -o. I don't know of any file extension that uses the - hyphen. Are there any?
Anyway, at the end of flatsixracer's instructions, for sudo ntpd --version, he wrote, "(should now be: ntpd [email protected])" So, since he gets that when running the update, I'm thinking this can go either way, with or without the -o, and be normal.

I have an older Macbook, and it has "n" wi-fi bt I need software to unlock it. It is supposed to come with the time-capsule but there is no software that I can find. Does anyone know were it is? supposed

I have an older white Macbook. It is supposed tohave "N" networking but needs to be unlocked. The software is supposed to come with the time-capsule, but I can not find it, also I checked with a friend who just bought an airport extreme and he can't find any software. Does anyone know where this software is located?

Serious design flaw in iWeb needs fixing fast

I have been designing websites with various types of software in the past. Always a wysiwyg environment has been amongst my favourites as it shows exactly what you are doing, how it looks and what it's going to be like for the viewer.
Now iWeb does a fairjob at that but it has one MAJOR issue and that's publishing.
I have tried publishing to MobileMe, I tried local and upping the contents via a different FTP program and I have tried uploading to FTP from within iWeb.
The issue that a lot of people are reporting and Apple is ( regretabbly ) not doing anything about is the problem with the settings on the website ( left panel of iWeb)
Normally you would want to save everything of a certain website under a site. iWeb does that, fine.
Yet when you publish your site to MobileMe or any other FTP location, it ALWAYS adds the friggin' SITENAME to the path.
Why can't I get rid of that nonsense ? I want my site looking like http://www.mysite.ext/index.html
NOT like http://www.mysite.ext/<sitename>/index.html
So, to me, it looks like Apple is adding a variable to the publishing path which should NOT be there.
Please Apple, fix this or tell us in which plist this stupid setting is set so we may be able to change that. It's ridiculous this way.

@Ethmoid
Yes I have read your reply and it's similar to many replies in the forum.
Users always get put off with the same nonsense band-aid sollution like " publish locally then upload via other ftp program"
Although I will grant you this works, what use is the whole FTP function in the software if you cannot use it as it is supposed to work ?
Some other things I would like to mention in regards to this bug ( yes it is still a bug in my book )
- Apple does not mention the a-typical behavior anywhere in the documentation
- Apple does not mention the Auto-Adding of the Website name in the Knowledge Base
- Hundreds of people have complained about this odd behavior of the program
What really ticked me off today was the following:
I have tried to contact Apple in various ways about this bug.
Sent in feedback various times, tried this forum ( no luck thusfar ) and even started a Fast Lane Incident. The result of that was that I was given the option that I would have to pay 49 Euro's before apple would even listen to the problem. I tried to tell them that it's a bug in their software which I already had paid for.
In The Netherlands it's set by law that any product ( no matter what ) which does not perform as expected has to be solved by the company that made the product. ( there is more to that but i'll leave it as is for now )
So, I am a paying customer who paid for his software which has a bug. I ask for a sollution and all I get is " You have to pay 49 Euro's per incident" . *** ???
Now you can call me a ranter as many times as you want but no matter how you put it, the behavior in iWeb is odd in relation to any other ftp enabled web publishing client. Pick any 100 different softwares for web publishing with ftp feature and i'll bet you 100 US $ that at least 99 of them upload in the folder you set in the program and they will not add any folders by themselves the way iWeb does.
This combined with the many, many similar posts about this oddity, you cannot keep it up to tell all these users they rant and just need to buy another piece of software to do just that what iWeb should be able to do.
As for the fix.
If people are really " happy" with this behavior of auto-adding a sitename, then at least let Apple give us a choice to either switch this behavior ON or OFF. It should be easier to do and fix then any of the other bugs they recently fixed.
I really hope you see it as it is, a faulty product...

Does it need fixing or there's a software malfunction?
