Find iPhone Flakey in iOS 5?
Trying out FindiPhone today after upgrading to iOS5. I used it this morning (9:39am) and found my daughter's phone (also iOS5)with no problem. Now, 6 hours later (2:59pm), I try again and it says, "Located at 9:39am". I hit refresh, it does it's thing, then comes back with the same "Located at 9:39am". I hit refresh again (3rd time trying to locate), and this time it comes back with correct info. Considering the fact that for each of these refreshes she was sitting in the exact same place each time, I have to wonder how reliable this info is? Anyone else seen this? To note, this never seemed to happen under 4.2.10.
Nothing's been confirmed, but this was posted on the internet, open to speculation I guess.

Mistyped icloud username and activation of "find iPhone" with last IOS update
I managed to mistype icloud username and activate "find iPhone" with last IOS update.
This means that:
I can not verify the iCloud username because it is a non-excisting email with no alternative e-mail adress
I can not delete the iCloud account because I do not have a password
I can not use forgot password because the iCloud-ID is a non excisting e-mail adress
I can not turn off "find iPhone" because the iCloud username is not verified
My Appel-ID is different from the icloud-ID with only one letter after the @ prefix, and that is the reason for this whole mess. I was supposed to type my Appel-ID as my iCloud-ID, but mistyped and approved the "new" and wrong iCloud-ID. During the last IOS update I activated the "find iPhone" functionality as a part of the installation procedure. The result is listed in the list above.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?howdy lorraine108

ITunes doesn't find iPhone 5s after iOS 8 update
After updating to iOS 8 ITunes 11.4 (18) no longer sees my iPhone 5s, ergo iPhone cannot be back up to computer or synced...
iTunes has no problem seeing my iPad Air with iOS 8, but it is no longer performing automatic wi-fi sync when it is connect to powerClarification (tried to edit post, but I was told that I don't have permission to edit my own post!)
If directly connected to the iMac via USB, iTunes sees the phone... it just can't see it via wi-fi... -
How can I open more than one tab in Firefox Home on an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1? I can access the tabs page but all the entries are blank and I can't find a way to open a new page in a new tab.
That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.

I have a iphone 4s with ios 8.3 and I used to be able to sync only a week or two of emails from outlook email. Now it won't let me do that and it syncs all my inbox. How can I change it back to sync less. I can't find the right place.
I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available? Any idea why that would be?

Has anyone else had issues with phone network being unavailable on iPhone 4 since updating to iOS 5.0.1? My iPhone 4 is continually searching for a network and does not find AT&T, my provider. I swapped SIM cards with another iPhone 4 running ios 4 and established this is a device problem, not a SIM card problem.
Does the device get any signal?
Sounds like the device may have had a hardware failure. If it is out of warranty, the only option is the Out of Warranty replacement.
AppleCare is only an option if it is still under the original warranty. -
Cannot use aipprint from iphone 4 with ios 5.0.1. does not find the hp m1212nf laser.
have a hp m1212nf mfp(airprint compatible according to the hp web site) hooked up via usb to mac running OS 10.6.8., other mac hooked up via router to same network, Can print from both machines to the printer, which has the latest firmware installed.
Want to print from iphone 4 running ios 5.0.1. Running on wi-fi, and tried to print, but iphone cannot find the printer. Any suggestions??In order to print using Air Print you will need to make sure your iphone 4 is connected to the same wi-fi network as the printer is. Also, what is the make and model of your router ?
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!
If I solved your post please mark it as solved to help others.
I'm a printer tech with HP. -
Help! I've just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1.2 and I can't find the LTE switch only the 3G one.
Help! I've just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1.2 and I can't find the LTE switch only the 3G one.
Settings > General > Cellular *I know that the LTE switch should replace the 3G one 'cause my mom has it
I updated it from iOS 6.0.2 I think so I skipped 6.1. Is this a possible reason (tho I doubt it)?
is there any way to fix this?
thank you in advance!Are you using an LTE enabled SIM? What carrier are you using?

hallo, after upload iPad air and iPhone 5 to iOS 8 (and few days ago Mac to Yosemite, version 10.10), I don't find in my iPad air and in my iPhone 5 photos I can see in iPhoto (version 9.6) on my Mac's Cloud. I tried to add manually from library to iCloud's streaming photo with no result. in iPhoto's events I've 940 photos, in iPhone and iPad about 450. I have in mobile devices only photos taken with iPhone. thank
There is no warning there, only a recommendation...
We recommend that you update to the latest version of iPhoto before placing your order,
On 10.6.8 you can update to 9.2.3.
You really need to rethink you're computing habits. Using a computer without a back up is like driving without a safety belt. Updating the OS and applications without one is like driving blindfolded and drunk without a safety belt...
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store -
Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it. Connected it iTunes (on my windows 8 system) with which I sync and that too required an update as old version of itunes cannot read ios7. Problem is itunes does not want to get updated. Some vague error on not having right to write a file in ProgramData folder wheras as an admin i have full rights. Next I downloaded the install file from itunes site - no luck it would not install. Then I tried to remove itunes - it does not want to go. Am at wits end... Is the option only to restore it as a new Ipad?
Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.

I have a Verzion iPhone 4s with iOS 7 installed on it and the friend my friends dose not seem like it is working, and it is when it is trying to find a certain person, it says location unavaiable, and the other person with the other iphone it friend my friend is on in locations service and on the verzion iPhone it is on
Little hard to understand what you are asking. Let me guess that this not an Iphone4S issue. Its a problem with your service provider. Contact them.

I updated my wife's iPhone 4 to IOS 7. While trying to setup the new installation, I get the message " Find My iPhone must be turned off before Phone can be restored. Go to iCloud Setting on your iPhone and turn off Find My iPhone before restoring your iPhone". The problem is that that option is not available on the phone at this stage of the set up.
Any suggestions?I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information." I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed." We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.
