HT1688 Why is it that I don't get good reception in some areas

I don't get good reception in some areas especially around my house.

Because the signal from your carrier is marginal there. Trees, building materials, and other things can interfere with reception.

There are times that I don't get voice instructions in Maps on my iPhone

There are times that I don't get voice instructions in Maps on my iPhone 5s. Actually, the directions don't even advance automatically as I expect. Can anyone explain why this happens? How do I correct this? It's dangerous to drive and look at the iPhone screen at the same time, much less manually advancing the the directions!

Put the phone in Airplane mode...this turns off all iPhone radios...but, you can go back into settings & turn WiFi back on. You can then use iMessage.
No nasty surprises if you do that.

I have 2 photo books in iPhoto. Is there some way of storing them elsewhere on my computer so that they don't get accidentally deleted?

Yes. This tutorial describes how to go about it: #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. For future books I suggest you start out with a new library and copy the needed photos to it from your current library with iPhoto Library Manager .

HT203433 I clicked on an app that I thought was free and it isn't. How do I stop it so that I don't get charged?

I clicked on an app that I thought was free and it isn't (I thought I was downloading Hello Hello Spanish and instead it was Hello Hello World). How do I stop if from downloading so that I don't get charged? I've highlighted it and clicked "remove" but it keeps downloading. I do not want my school charged for this app which I didn't want! Help!

I talked to an actual person at the Apple store and he said I could get credited for the price of the unwanted App. How do I do that?

I recently updated my iPhone and now find there are a number of songs that I cannot sync to my phone. Some are songs purchased from iTunes. Is there anyway to remedy this? I'd really prefer not to have to repurchase music. Thanks

I recently ran an updatedafter being prompted multiple times. Now I find there are a number of songs that I cannot sync to my iPhone. Some are songs purchased from iTunes. Is there anyway to remedy this? I'd really prefer not to have to repurchase music.

Why would you repurchase songs simply because they will not sync? Sorry, that's beyond illogical, it's simply not smart.
What happens when trying to sync these songs?
Any errors?

Why, after clicking that I don't wish to be tracked, am i still receiving tracking cookies and 3rd party cookies from websites? How is 5.0 an improvement if websites don't respect this?

ALL websites that i've visited have still placed tracking cookies, which i then need to individually delete after leaving their site.
They're not respecting that i don't want to be tracked, so what good is checking that box in my options?
Bring back NOT accepting cookies from 3rd parties. I don't need admanager, tacoda, etc cookies on my computer.
Also websites are displaying a js picture that i can't block. I block all pictures that contain people or animals for religious reasons.

Selecting the "do-not-track" setting will only make Firefox send a specific HTTP header (DNT=1) to a web server.<br />
It is up to the server to do something with that request.

Email, how do I protect Emails on my Treo so that they don't get deleted?

I find that every couple of days, my received Email messages get deleted automatically. There are some that I want saved but I can't seem to find any settings to do this. I don't want Emails deleted unless I delete them. Is there a way to do this?

I recently purchased a song and my entire song library was deleted after it downloaded. The photos and aps are still there, but no tunes. Anyone know how to fix this? I have songs loaded on the ipod that I don't want to loose and they are not in MY itunes

I recently purchased a song from itunes and when the song downloaded, it deleted/removed my entire song library. Only leaving the one song.
My photos and aps are still there, but no songs. Anyone ever encounter this and how do you fix it? I don't want to loose my songs as some are not in MY itunes library. Help

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

Why does everyone else on their school ipad have access to the App Store and basically anything they want? Why is it that I don't have access to any of that? How do I get access to that stuff?

Ok I don't know why in the world everyone else has access to the App Store and almost anything they want. Guess what I have access to? Yea that's right I have access to nothing that they have! I believe that their iPads are glitching and that might be how they got access to them! I hate how I don't have any access when I don't have access to anything that they have access to! They have almost no restrictions on their iPads and I have all the restrictions that the school sets!

I don't know if you're looking for us to offer a solution to you? We can't. If your school has set restrictions on your iPad, you need to discuss this with your school system admin.

I want to know WHY when I am surfing the net I am getting GARBAGE SPAM CRAP that I don't get on other browsers, ONLY Firefox??????

I want to know WHY I am getting pop ups, spam windows and a host of other crap when I am browsing the internet? I use 2 other browsers and do NOT get the crap I get from Firefox. I am sick and tired of naked ladies and a host of other items that open a new window.

this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

My gmail doesn't default on firefox, it get 'failed' messages that I don't get on IE, why?

I don't have many more details....I tried to email questions to a local photographer that I researched on-line. I then tried to respond to a couple of craigslist items. I was able to add a comment on my friends blog, but when I tried her 'email' button with a more personal message it failed again. I keep getting 'failed' messages, but couldn't get any details, just 'failed'. I then opened/closed both my gmail accounts. When I opened each account and worked directly from my gmail page, I was able to send messages back and forth between my two accounts. So I tried again from another craigslist item, still the same failure. Went to IE and my email went directly to the craigslist inquiry.

Try to update Firefox to a more recent 3.5.x or 3.6.x version (Help > Check for Updates).

How can I make sure that I don't get roaming charges when traveling with my iPhone?

Hello everyone!
I am going to be traveling to China next week (from Canada) and I want to bring my iPhone to listen to music, read books and use for Wifi as well. However I don't want to use it for calls, browsing etc as I don't want to get charged roaming fees for these services.
Is there a way that I can make sure that this does not happen? I think that if I leave my phone on Airplane mode the whole time then I'll be fine and I can find Wifi wherever I am, but I just want to see if is this in fact correct or if there is anything else I can do instead.
As well, if I do end up taking my phone and taking out the cellular service when I'm in China, will I still be able to use iMessage to text people back home if I really have to?
Thanks!

Put the phone in Airplane mode...this turns off all iPhone radios...but, you can go back into settings & turn WiFi back on. You can then use iMessage.
No nasty surprises if you do that.

How do I get my new Apple ID associated with an older MacBookPro so that I don't get charged more than once for a purchased app when I download it to the older computer recently upgraded to Snow Leopard?

I recently upgraded my 2 year old MacBookPro to Snow Leopard so I could download Face Time and Final Cut ProX to it.
I've already purchased the apps and installed on my iMAC and Macbook Air.
After downloading Face Time I received the following mail;
"Your Apple ID, *************, was just used to purchase FaceTime from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. This email was sent as a safeguard designed to protect you against unauthorised purchases.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
Regards,
Apple"
I don't want to be charged twice for these apps, especially Final Cut ProX, so how can I get the MacBookPro associated with the Apple ID I'm using now?
Cheers

This is probably a new precaution that Apple has taken to alert folks that something has occurred with their account that has not occurred before*, namely a Mac has downloaded something from their account that has not done so before. And as the notice says, if it was you doing so, then you may safely ignore the notice. Also, do not be alarmed, Apple refers to all downloads as purchases, even when they are free.
But if you are truly concerned about the notice then you can authorize the Mac with your iTunes account, which should be the same as your MAS account. Open iTunes on the older Mac and sign into your account. Then in the Store menu choose Authorize This Computer. Now this Mac is definitely associated with your account and can now play media that you purchase from the iTunes Store as well.
*My banks do the same thing when I pop up making a purchase with my bank cards somewhere in the world I have never made a purchase before. They call me and email me and want to know if it is indeed me using the card.

What has happpened to the rental videos that they don't get removed automatically any longer? Are they taking up space on my iPad??

Why are old rental video's not being removed from my iPad once viewed? Are they taking up space on my iPad?

I wish that I had an answer for you, but I can't think of anything else to try. What I find so odd is that it happens to all 3 of your devices. That doesn't make sense at all unless it has something to do with how iTunes handles what is happening on the iPad when you sync your devices.
I update my iPhone 5S and my iPad 3 last night and then synced both devices with iTunes. When I plugged them into my MBP - they both showed an overcapacity it's due to "other". "Other" includes app data caches and when it grows out of proportion like that it means that something got corrupted. I synced the devices anyway, and the "other" dropped dramatically back to where it was on each device before I updated and where it should be.
What I'm trying to say is something may be getting corrupted when you sync with iTunes...what it is I have no clue.
