Hi,
I have bought a pair of Sennheiser MM100 wireless headphones and they are great, however, I'm having trouble switching between devices.
I have an iPad2 and an iPhone 4s and the headphones connect to both with no problems. My issue comes when I want to switch from using the headphones with my iPhone (listening to music on the walk to the train station) to using them with my iPad (to watch a movie on the train). The iPad still shows that it is paired with the headphones but will not connect saying that they must be turned off or out of range. Even if I turn the headphones off then on again, they immediately reconnect with the iphone.
I've tried deselecting the headphones as the source for audio from the airplay icon before I make the switch and have also done this before turning them off and then back on again.
The only way I can make the switch is to turn the headphones off, tell the iPad to forget the device, turn the headphones on (by holding the on button for 5 seconds it automatically goes to Pair mode). I pair up the iPad and it connects fine. But I have to go through the same process when the train pulls into my stop to be able to use the headphones to listen to music to walk to work!
Is there an easier way? I thought I would just be able to use the airplay icon to deselect it on one device and select it for the other.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm going to miss my stop on the train some day!!!Here's the trick.
turn on the headphones.
It will connect to the device it last connected to ...assuming that its' on.
go to the bluetooth menu of your phone or ipad (if it's a computer you want to connect to I'll tell you that trick in a second.
and so now, hold down the S button on the headphones for about 4 or 5 seconds (the same button you use to turn on the headphones) ...the light goes from blue to blinking red....now you're in the pairing mode...which is good...now in the bluetooth menu simply select the mm100 and it will connect...
you won't have to type in the 0000 or tell it to forget the device..
but by holding down the button and putting it in pairing mode it frees it from being connected to the device it automatically connected to and lets it connect to the device you choose. this is true of any bluetooth headset.
if you want to connect to your computer, again...hold down that button on the headphones for 4 or 5 seconds till it enters pairing mode, then on your computer if you have a speaker icon in the menu bar, hold down the option key while selecting the speaker icon...you'll see a list of devices ...select the mm100 and your good to go.
if you don't have the speaker icon there..go to system prefences and choose the mm100's there. -
I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?
You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. -
The guides all say when using the iCloud photos are shared across all devices. Why can't I see my photos from my iPhone on my iPad when it settings on both devices the iCloud for photos is on?
When you enable Photo Stream on your devices, only new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your Photo Stream. Existing photos won't.

my iPhone was stolen last night and I'm trying to recover all my photos from that phone and get them on my mac laptop. The iCloud photo stream only imported 1,000 photos from my stolen phone. How can I retrieve all of my other photos?
You have to reset the device to Factory Settings in order to restore it from an iCloud backup. You probably want to back it up as is before you do this.
To do the reset after you have backed up the current device, go to Settings>Reset>Reset all Content & Settings. This will erase the device. If you are signed onto iCloud with Find My iPhone turned on, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom to sign out of iCloud before you do the reset.
Once you have reset your device, you will set it up like a new phone. When it asks if you want to restore it from an iCloud backup, select the backup you want to restore it from.

Advice for using the iCloud Photo Library
iCloud Photo Library!
I've been waiting for this feature to arrive since June when it was rolled out during the WWDC.
Now that's here can anyone share some advice on the best possible way to go about using it?
I have 9,239 pictures in 1,196 events in my iPhoto Library. (Tons & Tons of time on editing, geo-tagging, naming faces, Smart Folders, etc.)
I would like to push them up to iCloud Photo Library. I also have 95 home videos (stored in iTunes) that I would like to push up their as well.
However it doesn't appear that I can do that on either of my Macs until 2015'.
I see where I can now do that with iOS 8.1 with an iOS device.
What advice can anyone give me as far what they think I should do?
Should I try to wipe out all data off one of my iOS devices, then load pictures on it, turn on iCloud Photo Library within settings, let it upload, then turn it back off so I can take the videos a few at a time (turning the feature on and then back off) until I get everything uploaded?
Should I wait until the Mac version is available next year?
Or is there any other way??If you're running Yosemite, wait for the Photos app to be introduced next year. While specifics haven't been announced, I believe it sill provide a way to migrate your iPhoto library to iCloud Photo Library.

I put all my photos from my iPod Touch 4 and my iPhone 4S in iCloud Photo Albums and Labeled them so that when I got the new iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.2 I could have my previous photos on there for future use. Now I look on my iTunes app on my computer it shows that my storage on my iPhone 6 is almost full. Those Photos in iCloud are taking up all my storage on my iPhone. I know how to add more storage on my iCloud account, I just want to know Is there a way where my iCloud Photo Albums can still be in my iCloud Account, just not taking up all my storage on my iPhone.
Hello mushysun,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out. If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
Have a great weekend,

I want to be able to view my photos in iOS according to the faces I've identified in them on the Mac, but I can't seem to figure out how. Any suggestions?
On iOS, in the Photos app, use the search functionality (the magnifying glass, top right). Once you click on the magnifying glass - you may need to wait a moment or two - you will see a list of suggested or recent searches. You can type in a face name instead. The results from the search will be all pics tagged with that name.
You may have an issue with not all tagged pictures appearing in the search results, however. Initially all appeared for me, but they no longer do. There appears to be some issue with the reindexing of my picture data in the cloud - the search still returns folder names for folders which don't exist anymore. Hopefully you won't have that to content with. -
Can I use the new Photos app with Lightroom?
I have been a user of Aperture but with the new Photos app I can no longer do that. Will Lightroom work with the new Photos app? I want better editing tools than Photos offers.
No, Lightroom and Photos cannot share a Library. They are both Photo Managers (neither is actually an editor) with non-destructive processing. The only way to get from one to another is to export to the Finder then import to the second app. It's hard to see a workflow that encompasses both apps.
Really you need to decide which app you want to use to manage your Photos: Photos is a free app geared at the consumer with a phone or point and shoot. Lightroom is geared for the serious hobbyist or Pro with a DSLR, Which photographer are you? Best to pick one horse and ride it. -
Someone is using my icloud photo stream.
i noticed odd pictures showing up in my photo stream. i even changed the password of my iCloud account, yet new pictures from their device is being loaded onto my photo stream. is there a way to remotely disconnect them without find my iphone? or should i just delete my icloud account and start from scratch (but i really don't want to lose my apps that i have previously purchased)
We also had the same exact thing happen to us as well. How can we contact apple to report this bug? It just started happening Friday Sep 13!!! We turned off photo stream which deleted all the other persons picture. Then we turned it back on but just started receiving their photos again.
We do not use any kind of photo apps on the iPad. Also these photos show up on all 3 of our devices that are tied to the same icloud user name. So it's not just one device it's all 3 that are getting someone else's photos. And we don't know the person either so they wouldn't have our iCloud email address either.
Very odd!!! -
Mozilla Aurora is not responding
You can use the Tab key to select a search engine on the bottom bar and press Enter to use the search engine to do the search.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Search+bar
In the current Firefox 34 release there is a new "one-off" search bar.
This search bar doesn't show the name of the search engine and a logo.
You can type one letter to make a drop-down list appear where you can see suggestions and see the used search engine and that also has bar at the bottom where you can select other search engines that are enabled via the Search tab in Options/Preferences.
You can use the Tab key to select one of the other available search engines and press the Enter key to search with the selected search engine.
Click the search engine icon and click "Change Search Settings" to open the Search tab in Options/Preferences (positioned between Tabs and Content) to select the default search engine and select which search engines to show in the search bar drop-down list that opens when you start typing search terms. -
