How does this happen: The picture of recent apps you get when double clicking the home button showed in Settings-Wifi that I had been connected to a network I have not been near for two months. Its not a recent "image" of Settings-Wifi. Can anyone explain

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

I was using my notes earlier today and now for some reason they are all gone. How does this happen and is there anything I can do to get them back, the new ones also that haven't been synced.

n Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not. How does this happen and how can I correct this problem
You said:
I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.
...and:
Are you saying that my address book has not been hacked into? That others are getting these email addresses from another source?
This confuses me. Are you saying that you are receiving bogus e-mails from some of your contacts, or are you saying that they are receiving bogus e-mails from you?
If the latter, there are a number of reasons that people might be getting e-mail from you. Malware, though technically possible, is extremely unlikely. See Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!
If the former, that's rather unusual. The only decent explanation I can think of is that a bunch of your Windows-using contacts got infected with something and their machines are being used to spam everyone in their contact lists, which would include you. -
Under search in maps, names come up that aren't in my contacts. How does this happen?
Under search history in the Maps app,...along with all the other places I
did search for, some addresses comes up that I'm not familiar with, and they stay
there. In some cases I didn't search for them at all. Some I may have. A name also
appears, under the address, like "from John Doe". It’s a name that
I'm familiar with my email, but is not in my contacts. Why and how does
this happen?
For example, a person I receive emails from for work, came up as the
"from", and the address, after I searched for it (not on my phone).....I found out
it was the address of his company, I place I've never searched for, nor is
there a hyper-link to it any emails/websites that I could have clicked on
accidentally.
In another example, the beginning of an address “5165” which I may have searched
for and starting typing in came up in the history with several locations that
start with those numbers. Most of them say “from current location”, but one says from
a name, whom again I’m familiar with by email, but is not in my contacts and
have no idea of why the name would be somehow connected to the address.Thank you for the reply. I really appreciate it. Do you know why the names are attached, as "from"?
I attached a screen shot image. "Harry" and "Angela" are not contacts in my phone. Who would their names get there? -
My iPhone was stolen. I used Find My iPhone app to lock it and display a message. The phone has not connected to the internet to locate it. I contacted the police and they have taken my meid number. How does this work and what are my chances of getting the phone back? Are there other ways the theif can use it. I was told once they put in a new sim card and use it, whatever software the police have, it will show up.
Honestly? In the US (I can't speak to other countries, though I doubt it works much differently in a lot of the world) The police took your report and filed it either in their computers or, on paper. They will now not think of this again. The only time it will cross anyones mind is if, in the course of entering information into evidence about items recovered or seized at a crime scene, the serial number of an iPhone that was found/seized happens to match yours, in which case you will be contacted.
The police in the US can and will do nothing to 'blok' the phone and it's not worth their time to try and locate it unless you know for a fact that it was stolen by a big time drug lord, master criminal, or some other such prime target and they can get a court order to track the location of the phone in order to locate this individual for your own purposes. If they do that, they'll probably keep him under surveilance for a year or so before they act.
Basically, the police don't care about your phone. If they find it, they will give it back to you. They are not, however, going to go looking for it. They have better things to do.
I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. -
My number has been showing up as calling people while in my possession and sometimes off. How does this happen? How do I stop it?
I've tried to contact facebook support and been trying to get on live chat for hours to no avail. Please help me stop annoying people.A month ago I received a spoofed call at 6A - obviously I was not happy. Came from 000-0000000 as I recall.
Tonight I had two irate people call me minutes apart saying I called them - I was eating dinner with my wife with my phone turned off in our eye-sight.
I cannot believe that we allow spoofing software and spoof cards these days, with only a crime if someone asks for money or does some similar fraudulent activity. -
Expiration of Reward points and status change from elite status how does this happen?
My rewards point have expired and my elite status has changed. How does this happen?
Good morning John30csx, and welcome to the Best Buy forum,
I can understand questioning why your account status may have been downgraded. To have retained Elite status, you would need to have spent $1500 on eligible BestBuy.com and Best Buy store purchases during the 2013 calendar year. If you did not spend at least $1500 by 12/31/2013, then your account status would have been downgraded sometime in February.
From what I can see after looking over your My Best Buy account, you had a $20 certificate that expired in September 2013. Prior to some program changes that went into effect last year, a certificate would have expired 90 days (180 days for Premier Silver/Elite Plus members) after it was originally issued. Once a certificate has officially expired, we are unable to issue a new one.
With that all being said, please feel free to send me a private message if you perhaps have any additional questions about the My Best Buy program or your account. A private message can be sent by clicking on the blue button located within my signature.

hello i was updating my ipod 5 to ios 8 and when it was in the middle of updating it came up that i had to connect to itunes and i have done so and its telling me to restore it and i have tried many time to and its not working. So what to i do??

hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?
Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen. -
How can I turn-off the apps which I have opened once in ISO 7.0.2. In previous version of ISO it was easy to turn-off the opened apps by double clicking on home button and then click and hold on respective apps then click on cross sign but in this version I could not do so and my iPad appears slower.
Close inactive apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen -
when double click itunes icon it shows " The file itunes library.itl can not be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes" so what can i do?
Unless you have attempted to downgrade to an older version of iTunes this is likely to be a sign of a corrupt library. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

There is a new email address on my phone in the apple id password box. My password will not work. How did this happen and how can I change it back?
Of course your password shouldn't work on a different Apple ID. This can happen for many reasons, no worries, just sign out back back in using your own ID.
