Hi:
There are no dumb questions...answers, yes, but not questions.   Sometime I use acronyms and forget that I should explain things a bit more. 
Resetting those two things sometimes helps and cannot hurt.

If that does not help, delete the phone from your computer (system preferences>Bluetooth), restart, and then add it back in:

P.S.  If everything fails and you are near an Apple store, make an appointment with a "genius" and take the devices in for them to assist.

    Hi there, The best thing I would do is contact the app maker!
    How to get in contact with makers:
    1. App Store Developer Website
    2. In App Contact Support (Some app's don't have this!)
    3. App Store Contact Email (I have not seem to have located the contact emails yet!)

  • PS CC 2014 requires less than what my laptop is capable of, but still says "not enough ram". Help?

    I have an Acer Aspire with Windows 7. I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014, which said it's requirements were less than what my laptop has, plus I upgraded the ram to 8 already. If I go to lighting, it opens, stalls, then says not enough ram, and another message about making sure things are enabled, etc etc, which I have already done. What do I do?

    It says ram on one message, and talks about graphics card on another. The first message that pops up says the 3D feature require that "use graphics processor is enabled in the performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirement and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly. Once that message is closed the next message that pops up says unable to perform function you do not have enough RAM.

  • HT5569 I am having trouble connecting to wifi can you help.

    I am having trouble connecting to wifi can you help.

    connectng with a pin # will not work with the ipad. you need to find out exactly what the actual wifi password is.
    pin and push buttons are used by wifi protected setup. which is an optional feture of WPA
    here are some ideas
    go to the routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254) and see if you can click on "show password"
    get the manual out, it should have the default user name and password you may need to access the routers page
    if your windows computer connects, then you should be able to right click the wifi connection and click on show password as well. this is somewhere in the properties page of the wifi connection
    also with windows its a good idea to click on "save wifi connection to usb drive" this can be used to connect other windows computers and xbox game consoles as well
    if your laptop computer is a mac book you can go to the keychain or icloud keycahin and reveal the actual passowrd as well.
    look at the actual router it might have directions on a sticker on how to access the routers configuration pages
    if you enter the wrong password on the ipad you need to forget the network and try again

  • Im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

    I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI.  I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
    1)  Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
    2)  Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
    3)  Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
    4)  Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
    5)  If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
    Hopefully this helps!  Good luck.

  • I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4.  I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection.  Why am I not able to connect anything?  I've tried ALL the fixes suggested.  HELP!!!!!!!!!

    I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4.  I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection.  This just started happening today (2/19/14)!  Why am I not able to connect anything?  I've tried ALL the fixes suggested.  HELP!!!!!!!!!  BTW, I know my Wi-Fi connection is good because I'm using it on my desktop and other people in my office are also connected on their iPhones and desktops.  Again, HELP!!!!

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

    - Did it successfully connect to the network before?
    - Do other devices successfully connect to the network now?
    - Does you iPod successfully connect to other networks?
    - Have you reset your iPod?
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network connections: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Powered off and then back on your router
    - The troubleshooting here:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    -When you restored you iPod did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod?  If not try that.
    - If you look at the network properties on the iPod what IP address is assigned when you think you are connected but actually have no internet connection.  If it starts with 169 then the iPod never connected to the router, the 169 address are self assigned.

  • I can not pair my itouch with my mac book pro version 10.6.6 .. it seems that maybe my itouch is having trouble connecting as my mac seems to pair, then waits for my itouch and it never works. please help!!

    I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
    Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
    For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
    Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
    If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
    Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
    There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

  • I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

    I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

    Try this:
    Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
    Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
    Apply this.
