    I have a problem with my ipad. Before I can make online documentation but when I updated my iOS, I can no longer make notes. How can I fix this?

    What does "online documentation" mean exactly?  Are you using the Notes app to try to create notes in iCloud, for example?
    If so, that should still work in iOS 7.1.
    If not, please tell us specific symptoms of what is (or is not) happening.

    Okay, update on my previous message:
    I have replaced my iTunes-folder with a back-up version of the old one. Luckily this turned my podcasts back to normal and replaced the new 'library' with the old one.
    This also solved the problem of having to erase your iPod or iPhone, which is no longer necessary.
    So my solution is:
    1. back-up your iTunes folder (located at 'User/Music/iTunes/')
    2. remove iTunes 9.0.3 completely (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224)
    3. drag the iTunes folder back to the Music folder
    4. Re-install iTunes 9.0.3.
    It worked for me.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • (Yellow) Highlights appear black. How can I fix this?

    Today I woke up to find that I can't read the highlighted parts of my PDFs because they suddenly appear black. I have a Mac. Any suggestions as to how to fix it? Many thanks.

    Hi Anubha Goel. Thank you for your response.
    No, the document was not sent to me, and it happens with all my PDFs.
    MAC OS: 10.6.8
    I already tried what you suggested. Still looks black.
    Another weird change: when I select a line or two, instead of the selected
    part looking blue (as it did before), now it looks black and the letters
    look orange.
    Thank you.
    Regards.

    Are you signed into your phone with the same AppleID as that which was used to purchase your apps?

  • My Ipad Air reboot all time. How can i fix this?

    All time that I am using my Ipad Air, than he reboot unexpected.
    Just using any app, as safari, pages, keynote, numbers and any other apps.
    I do not know how can I fix this.
    Thank you all.

    Hi André_RJ,
    It sounds like no matter what app you are using, your iPad Air restarts on its own. I would start by resetting the phone, with these steps:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue persists I would use the following article to backup your device to iTunes and restore it from your backup. If the issue persists, then restore it one more time as new using the same article to isolate to the backup file itself.
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • My iPhone 4 keeps restarting by itself. How can I fix this, what is casusing it?

    I've seen several other adds about people saying their iPhone automatically resetting as well, but no salutions or advice of why it could be doing this.
    My battery seems to drain pretty quickly now too. 100% to 20 In maybe 20mins.
    My phone gets really hot randomly from it also.
    What causes it? How can I fix it? Will apple replace it?
    It can't be an app, I havent made changes to my phone in months, and yes. It's on the most recent program for the iPhone.
    Ill add the reset occurs when making attempt to edit pictures in the regular album. Never had a problem with this before tonight.

  • My ipad 3 is diabled and saids it needs to be connected to itunes how can i fix this if i dont have a computer at home?

    my ipad 3 is dissconnected how can i fix it if i dont have a computer

    To my knowledge you can't; there are occasionally issues that arise that require plugging the devices into a computer to have iTunes resolve the problem. 
    Can you use a friend's computer (I recommend creating a new user account to do this just to prevent possible issues with their existing iTunes account, doesn't seem to be as much of a problem recenlty as it once was, but it's always better to avoid the possibility). 
    You might also find an Apple Store with someone there who is willing to help, or library/school with computers you can access for free in order to fix whatever is going on with the iPad.

  • My wife and I were sharing the same iCloud account. we now have separate iCloud accounts, I've switched over iCloud, FaceTime, iMessage, but I can still see her old iCloud Tabs that were in her iPhone before we switched iCloud accounts. How can i fix this

    I have also turned off iCloud on my iMac, donme complete resets with clean fresh restores on my iPhone and iPad but her old iCloud tabs are still there?

    THis is an example. It's available with iOS 6.x and Moountain Lion. It's the iCloud icon that you see in the Safari toolbar.
    It allows you to view any page that's open on any of the devices using the same iCloud ID
