Has anyone noticed the subtle change this week?....

I figured that the "coaxing" (is the word I choose to use) by the store to upgrade to the latest version of the store would one day come. I noticed this week that the option to buy iTunes plus songs (or whatever thet are called) is now not an "option only" if iTunes plus is offered. Now, it appears one must upgrade to buy a song or album if not already running the latest store version when plus is offered.
For the time being at least, I will keep running older versions of the store that have time and time again proven to be more reliable and less risky (I am fully aware that a lot of people would choose to disagree with me on that assessment). I only buy music and I am currently passing on the advantages that these plus songs are the same .99 and at a higher bit rate (the risks in my opinion do not currently outweigh the rewards, even though one day with continuing improvements to each new store version, I will eventually make a judgement call and upgrade).
Realistically, one day in the future, I believe everyone will almost certainly have to upgrade to buy anything in the store for technological and security reasons which only makes logical sense (I will accept that fact when the time comes). It looks like that is the direction that we are slowly headed in, starting with this subtle change.

You probably have a lot of notifications turned on in Settings -> Notifications. Turn off those that you don't really need.
Turn Bluetooth and Cellular Data (if you have it) Off when not needed.
Under Setting -> Privacy -> Location Services -> System Services (at the very bottom) turn Off Location based iAds. Turning off Genius for Apps may speed up the App Store.

  • My apps will not download to ipad2 this is something that has just recently happened.Have switched the pad on and off holding buttons down but it makes no difference.Has anyone got the solution to this problem Thank you.

    My apps will not download to iPad 2 This is something that has just recently happened. Have tried re-booting but that makes no difference .
    Has anyone got the answer to this problem please or do I need to take it into an Apple store Thanking you.

    If all of that stuff checks out - and iTunes is telling you that the apps have been downloaded to the iPad - try this.
    Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases from the pop up menu. Then sync with iTunes again. Don't eject the iPad yet. If you still don't see the apps on the iPad - click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right and see if they show up on any of the iPad screens. If they do - make sure that all of the apps are selected (checked) to sync - (checkmarks in the boxes next to the app names) - check to make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked and as well and then sync again. You may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes if the apps were not selected to sync.

  • Has anyone noticed the weather widget is severally off?

    The only day it's correct is the day it's on. Other then that it's 10 to 15 degree's off every day. Right now it's 97 degree's with following days at 86, 81, 79 degree's. But it's been doing this for the past few months, where the following days are temps that are down by at least 10 degrees.
    Maybe I'm just being picky but it's not even close.

    Are you saying the camera on the 4 and 4s is better than the camera on the 5 ?
    The camera has subtle improvements over all 3 models.  Take a look at these:

    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/iphone/iphone-faq/differences-between-ipho ne-5-iphone-4s-iphone-4.html
    The iPhone 5 is technically been discontinued and replaced by the 5C.  In order to get specs on the 5 i had to find articles on 3rd party websites. 

  • Has anyone in the community faced this problem??

    While watching a video on my iphone 4s with 3g connection (sitting in my car with the engine shut off)
    for about 30/40 minutes (and after disconnecting the cellular data/3g) when i tried to start the car I found
    to my horror that my CAR BATTERY has completely drained off.with help of a friend I managed to recharge the battery and
    rode back home.
    Since I was very perplexed by this I decided to experiment.Yesterday I watched another video the same way
    and believe me or not the CAR BATTERY had drained off.
    Normally it starts fine the next day morning after overnight garraging, and also after I park it for nearly 8/10 hrs.
    during working days.
    Any light shed on the matter will be greatefuly acknowledged.
    tks and good day,
    Venkat

    iPhone battery is rated at about 1500mAhr. Car battery at about > 40 AHr. So in half an hour the phone has drawn about 0.75 AHr.  Hardly enough to flattena car battery so your claim is impossible

  • Has anyone noticed the problem of occasionally missing Probe Nodes (PN) and/or Probe Responses (PR) using NIFBUS Monitor using a PCMCIA/series 2 card?

    I have been testing a fieldbus sensor configured as a basic device, while continuously sending a PN message (once per second) with an arbitrary function generator at the same address to invoke a PR from the sensor.  I have found that about one PR or PN is missed in every 100 messages.  It is clear that by looking at the waveform on the bus that the missed PR or PN does exists and is not being picked up by the monitor. 
    A good log looks like this:
    PN
    PR
    PN
    PR 
    A missed response appears in the log as:
    PN
    PN
    PR
    A missed node appears in the log as:
    PN
    PR
    PR
    After looking at the log all PN messages are about 9 bytes except for the ones occuring before a missed PR.  These PNs are unusually long around 11 to 17 bytes long, where usually the first 2 bytes are as expected and the remaining bytes are identitical to the PR that was was missed by monitor.  Any ideas?  

    I'm also having this problem. It's happening with my USB flash disk. I was almost buying another one when I tried it with Windows Vista on the same machine and it worked ok, then I tried Arch Linux (with kernel 2.6.30.5) on another machine and got the same error. After that I tried Ubuntu and it worked ok. Seems that Arch's kernel doesn't like my USB flash disk.

  • Has anyone noticed the phone lock glitch with the new iOS5 involving the double click camera?

    Say your phone is locked and you double click the home button to bring up the camera shortcut right. I've noticed, and it's really messed up, but you go into the camera and snap a few shots right. If you click the camera roll @ the bottom left to check your freshly taken pics you'll get a screen that says the phone is currently locked...ok...thats good if some one snatch up my phone, but...if you just hit the freakin home button one single time...your phone is magically unlocked with NO PASSWORD NEEDED!!! Just awesome!

    Yeah, it only works if you don't have a password set. Whether it's a glitch or if Apple did it on purpose is unknown, but yes I have noticed it.

  • Has anyone noticed the free iPhone OS 3.1.2 downloads?

    I wanted to update my iPod touch's firmware from 2.2.1 to the most current version, and I Googled the OS and there were a couple of websites that offered the iPhone OS for free. I haven't downloaded them.
    If Apple charges $4.95 for the software update, why are some websites offering it for free?

    They're doing it illegally.
    The ONLY place to get the official iPod touch updates is from the AppStore.
    You have no idea what you may be downloading/installing from any other source. I certainly wouldn't want to risk it.

  • Accessibility, has anyone coded the option to change site colour?

    Hi guys,
    I have a client that needs their site to be coded with accessibility in mind, I have found a work around for changing the font size but has anyone coded the colour options like on this site http://www.guidedogs.org.uk/ ? Is there an accessibility plugin or anything that BC offers?
    Thanks
    David

    Hi David, that is just all CSS and javascript.
    The zoom thing on sites is an old concept and not needed though. Browsers zoom handle that these days.
    Colour wise you just have different CSS files and styles and on change of a dropdown or tick with javascript you change the css file and if you want it saved you drop a cookie reference.
    That is something as a webdesigner/developer/company is our job to implement, it is not something BC will offer.

  • For the second time this week the sound on my iPad 2 doesn't work. Who has the solution for this problemen?

    For the second time this week i don't get any sound from my iPad 2. Who has the solution for this problem?

    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • I cannot log into my Facetime or iMessages. When I bought this iPad2 in November everything worked. This is extremely frustrating. Has anyone found the solution?

    I cannot log into my Facetime or iMessages. When I bought this iPad2 in November everything worked. This is extremely frustrating. Has anyone found the solution?  

    I can still access the internet. I can still log into my iCloud. I reset my network settings and restored my iPad twice already. I tried all the stuff I could find on YouTube to include changing my DNS setting to 8.8.8.8 I don’t know why I can’t log on. I bought the iPad in Germany and it worked. When I came back to Turkey where I live it worked. I took a trip to the states in December and it worked. Now that I’m back in Turkey, I can’t even log on. For both the facetime and imessage I get a message that says “ Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again. I tried to all the help line twice and they couldn’t even help me. I just bought this in November and don’t know why it’s not working……….Help if you can. Thanks for the response.

  • When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

    Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
    You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
    // Get the icon from the b3 button
    var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
    // Get  reference to the b0 button
    var f = getField("b0");
    // Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
    f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
    // Show the b0 button
    f.display = display.visible;
    This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

  • Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them as the area is just left blank! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Can't locate email content? All of a sudden my email content has disappeared from inside MacMail? The actual emails are coming through but I am unable to view them in the content area! Nothing has been done to have changed this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
