HT204264 Why does it say my pictures will be deleted from my icloud when i try to delete them off my phone, in that case what is the point of purchasing extra monthly storage or even having an icloud in the first place if my pictures will be deleted?!

I have the iphone 6 plus and have not updated to the latest version (ios8)

iCloud Photo Library is not designed to be a cloud-only storage service. The photos kept in iCloud Photo Library are also on all of the devices where you have turned iCloud Photo Library on and any photos added to or deleted from one device are automatically synced to iCloud Photo Library and to the other devices. You can reduce the storage space required on your phone (and also on any other devices) by going to Settings > Photos & Camera and placing a checkmark in front of Optimize Storage. More details in iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Apple does not offer any cloud-only storage options. If that is a requirement there are 3rd parties that do. You could also make the suggestion to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

  • I accidentally turned on parental controls, when I try to turn them off it says my password is wrong when I know it's not. What do I do so that I won't have to wipe everything from my computer?

    Trying to fix something else in my settings I accidentally turned my parental controls on. When I tried to disable them it said my password or adminstrative name was wrong when I know they are both right. I even tried to change my password to the account but that didn't help. I don't want to have to delete my account and am not sure how to back everything up if that is the only option. Is there a simple solution to this?

    If you have Restricted your MAIN account in the perental controls that may be the reason. You may have to create a new Administrators account to change the settings on the parent controls.
    Not sure as I have never used that feature on any computer I own.

  • Why does my key pad vanishes or doesn't appear at all when I try to upload a comment?

    I usually upload my comments to some websites. Especlly hpathy.com but whenever I try that with my Android, using Firefox the key pad disappears suddenly and refuse to cooperate again. Why is this so? Please can't you fix the problem?

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing. <br>
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    #Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    #Tap '''Settings'''.
    #After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section '''''Privacy & Security''''' and select '''Clear private data'''.
    #You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    #*Cookies & active logins
    #*Cache
    #After those have been selected, tap the '''Clear data''' button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

  • I have just downloaded two songs from Itunes, and when I try to put them on my iphone they will not go there. There is an icon showing; which is a red ring with a cross through it?

    Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • RSC says I have files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out

    We are using RSC 3 to control RH7 projects. At the moment RSC says I have hundres of files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out. And then it says "No files were found to CheckIn." What could be causing this?
    I tried refreshing and rebooting my (client) PC, and it didn't help.
    Thanks.

    I am no pro at this product but when you look in source control, who does it say has those files checked out.  Does that user match the credentials that you use to connect to source control.  The only reason I ask this is, when I first set this up for my Publishers, I used the default admin account to connect to RSC.  Then I created accounts for them and went to their workstations to change credentials.  I changed the credentials but they had checked out some docs before that and could not check them back in because they were still checked out as admin. Had to change it back, have them check projects back in and then switch credentials.  Hope this helps.

  • Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

    Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

    When you open Firefox in Safe Mode, it automatically disables your custom settings, themes, and add-ons. THOSE changes are temporary.
    However, if you click any of the boxes underneath the line, "You can make some or all of these changes permanent", and then choose "Make Changes and Restart", everything you checked will be forever changed, even when you start Firefox again in 'normal' mode. [See attached image for a preview of the Safe Mode options].
    To be clear:
    1. If you check any of the boxes but do NOT select "Make changes and restart", those things will not be changed at all in safe mode.
    2. If you select any of the boxes and you DO select "Make changes and restart", you will permanently lose any of the items you checked (bookmarks (except for backups), user preferences, etc.).
    If you performed the action in step 2 above, you will only be able to restore those things if you have a previously created back-up of your Mozilla Profiles folder (not the same as the Firefox program folder).
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted?

    why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted< yes even the trash

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • HT3702 Why does it say invalid security code when I'm prompted to sign in?

    Why does it say invalid security code when I'm prompted to sign in. I have intered my security code from my credit card several times. It will not allow me to use the app store, even for free purchases.

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

  • ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

    Hey Christownsend,
    Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
    To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    why does it say rogers 3g on my ipad when it should say rogers 4g

    You may be in an area where Rogers doesn't yet have 4G. If so, the iPad will drop back to 3G and will display that to let you know you're running on the older network.

  • I am trying to install CS 5.5 master and I have mac 10.7. Why does it say my machine doesn't meet mi

    I am trying to install CS 5.5 master and I have mac 10.7. Why does it say my machine doesn't meet minimum requirements?

    What processor are you using?  Which Mac are you installing this on?  How much memory do you have installed? You can find the system requirements listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-master-collection.ht ml#main_CS5_Master_Collection_system_requirements.  You will want to make sure that you meet or exceed each of these requirements.

  • Why does it say Apple ID disabled when I try to update an app

    Why does it say my Apple ID is disabled when I try to update an app.? My ID works for everything else. Also, I thought with the new iOS update that apps are supposed to update themselves but mine haven't.

    On your Mac/PC open iTunes (make sure it is updated). On the tabs on the left click on "iTunes Store". This will change the window on the right to the iTunes store. The top right corner should have your Apple ID or Sign In written. If there is an Apple ID written click on it and Sign Out. The corner should then change to "Sign In".
    Now click on Sign In and sign in with the wrong/incorrect Apple ID that you no longer wish to use or update from.
    Once logged in, click on the down arrow that shows when you move the pointer on the top right corner where it should now show the apple id, and select Account.
    The page that opens up should have a section called "iTunes in the Cloud" with a tab on the side saying "Manage Devices".
    Click on Manage Devices. Its should list your iPhone or iPad that you no longer wish to use with this Apple ID. And click Remove.
    Once its confirmed click "Done" and from the top right corner select Sign Out.
