What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

If a stolen iPhone was in airplane mode will a find my iPhone passcode lock apply itself when the hone is switched off of airplane mode?

My girlfriend's iPhone was stolen whilst on holiday in London. The phone was in airplane mode and didn't appear on Find My IPhone, which was installed and enabled (all set tis correct other than airplane mode). I sent a remote passcode lock to the phone.
The next day the iPhone appeared on the map, obviously having been switched on and had airplane mode switched off. My question is, will the remote lock apply immediately the phone comes back online?
I assume their only opting at that point is to do a factory restore which would wipe all the data anyway, right?
Also, can't Apple track the IMEI number regardless of a restore and a new SIM? Or the network operator that the phone was originally connected to?

This notion that is being floated around that Apple's hands are tied due to privacy and legal concerns doesn't impress me much at all. My iPad was stolen about a month ago. I have the receipt, the serial number (from my box), and the MAC address (from my home router's log). Armed with that information it's technologically feasible to track, deauthorize, and eventually recover my device. But for reasons I have been unable to ascertain Apple refuses to provide anything like this for their customers. And as their devices become increasingly smaller, more desirable, and more expensive theft of them will also increase.
But to my point about legalities and privacy concerns: whether they are true or not, it certainly doesn't stop Barnes and Noble from blacklisting their Nooks when they are reported stolen. At least, that's what I found after buying a Nook color off craigslist. When I tried to register it online it refused. When I called in to customer support they informed me that it was a stolen device. If I wanted to remove the blacklist, they explained, simply provide the last 4 digits of the credit card, the name on the receipt, and the total dollar amount of the store along with store number where the device was purchased. If I lacked any of that information, I could simply contact the store and retreive it from their records. Since I was not the original owner, however, my option was to turn the device over to the police and hope they returned it to the rightful owner.
When I explained this scenario to Apple Care he insisted the limitation was due to privacy concerns. That defies logic, however, when one considers that it's the original owner (and only through the poilce and Apple's legal department) who must report the device stolen. And, like B&N, it's the customer who is able to provide personal information to blacklist (as well as unblacklist) a device according to his or her own volition.
I've been thinking a bit about this for some time...plenty of time to think on the couch sans iPad anway...and I've been wondering why in the world does Apple not allow users to deauthorize and blacklist iDevices through iTunes itself. At that point Apple has no involvement in the process and even the barest of legalities are irrelevant. My assumption is that Jobs has thought long and hard about these issues, including my described resolution, so it begs the question as to why Apple refuses to do anything about stolen devices. I hope one day I can ask him because that is a question I would like answered more than anything: what is the rationale for the hands-offs approach to this? I can't fathom one myself but I have to guess there is one. Apple hasn't come across to me as a callous company so I'm reluctant to attribute it to that.

How do I stop my iphone from sending my imessages to another iphone on my account?

When I updated my Iphone 4 to the new iOS 6.1 software I had to do a restore process and everything on my phone got deleted, and when I started texting, I realized that everytime I received an imessage from someone, it was also going to my sisters iphone as well. Because of this she is getting all of my conversations that I am havign with people. And we have the same apple id account. Also, whenever she sends a text to someone that I have previously texted, it says that I actually sent the text instead of her. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.

As has been explained countless times already on these forums...your phones are sharing the same AppleIDs. Craete your own ID and configure your phone to use those services with that ID. Edit your Messages settings to reflect the correct phone number and ID: Settings --> Messages --> Send/Receive

How do I stop my iphone from turning on photo stream AFTER I turned it off?

My iPhone 5C will only charge when the phone is switched off I've tried multiple leads and still it will only charge when it's switched off, somebody has told me it's the battery? But I don't know what to do

yesterday my charger was working fine, all day long I got home and go to plug it in and it's not working, I let my phone die and it starts working like the battery symbol shows up but once the phone is on it stops working. I've tried a couple of leads but I know they aren't proper apple and it still doesn't work, my friend said I've probably fried the battery but I'm not sure, but I know since I got the phone the battery hasn't been all that good, it charges quickly but then also dies quickly, I really don't know what to do and I really need some help, should I get a new lead or replace my phone because I have insurance?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If nothiing above helped, restore the iPhone to factory settings > Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

There is no such option/setting on an iPhone to determine this. Whether you can view the attachment has more to do with your connection, WiFi or cellular, and the size of the attachment than anything else. There will be a paperclip indicating the message includes an attachment regardless if downloaded with the message or not. When connected to the cellular network, if an attachment is below a designated size the attachment will be downloaded automatically. If over a certain size, you must select the attached file icon in the body of the message to download the attachment. The size limit varies by carrier/provider.

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails? Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink. Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com. Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book

How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book? This is happening when I am not on my computer.

I've been using a local isp and have recently gotten my mac email up and running. I think you are correct about the limitation being from the local isp as I was able to right click and send to all 67 via the Bcc. Good info, thanks.
I promote the use of Bcc any chance I get. Seems so many out there just don't understand the forward/reply issue where names are scanned from nearly infinite lists of forwarded emails.

How do i stop my iphone from talking to me?

how do i stop my iphone from talking to me!!!!????

the post above me is a good way, but you can also do it in itunes.
when your device is plugged in, and itunes (the program) is open.
if you click on your device on the left column of itunes under the Devices heading. you'll see in the middle of itunes the Summery tab.
scroll down and you will see some options.
open itunes when this device is connected
manually mange music and videos..
etc etc.
underneath you can turn off accessibility by selecting the Configure Universal Access button
in the pop up window select neither from the options (voice over, zoom, neither)

How do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

how do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

When you log out or shut down, there will be a checkbox that asks you if you want to reopen windows when you log in. Just uncheck this box. If that isn't it, you may have login items turned on. Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and then under your name click the Login Itens tab. Make sure nothing is there.
If you want to stop windows from restoring when you open applications (so for example when you open Safari it doesn't open the 50 tab page you just had open when you quit) go to SystemPreferences>General and then hit the checkbox that says Close windows when quitting an application.

How do I stop my iPhone from talking?

I've had an iPhone 3GS for a while now and was happy with it. I normally let my 7yr-old daughter play games and watch YouTube clips on it, but I don't know what she did this morning that now my iPhone talks with every command, I have to touch to select and then double-tap for the command to go through, I am having trouble now just trying to type in my password to get into the phone to even see if there is a way to try and take off of what seems to be a seeing-impaired setting. Can anyone please help?

...well, I managed to get through the password and get into settings and dissable the autolock and password for now but I can't seem to scroll down the screen to get to Accessability...anywhere I set my finger to try to scroll, my phone thinks I'm selecting that option and highlights that box...Iv'e tried grabbing of the thin bar that appears on the uppper left part of the screen when the options first pop-up but I can't and is dissapears shortly after...
