  • HT4623 I am trying to update my iPad. When I go to ,settings then general I do not have the tab bar to update software

    Hi I'm not unable to update my iPad software as when I go to settings then general I don't have the tab bar that offers me the opportunity to update software. Any ideas why as I am unable to download some apps etc as it says I need a different iOS-

    Settings>General>Software Update is only available in IOS 5 and above.
    If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

    Then you will need to update to iOS 5.1.1 as outlined above.  A word of caution before updating: be sure to import all your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing with a supported program such as Outlook, to an online service such as Google, or using an app like My Contacts Backup).  Failure to do so risks losing your data.
    Syncing an iPhone 4 requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    You will first need to meet these system requirements in order to sync (and update) your phone.

  • Music has been removed from iTunes but still shows on iPad. It does not give me the option to hold and swipe to delete from my iPad.

    I have removed all unwanted music from my itunes library and then synced my ipad but the music is still there?  I tried to delete off the ipad by holding the song down to get the delete but it the delete option isn't there.  Nothing happens.  How can I remove the unwanted music from the ipad.

    If I turn it off can I still sync new music that I buy and want on all devices?

  • TS1702 When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

    When I try to update an App I am getting my old email address (which no longer works) and when I put in its password it says password or username is wrong. but it does not give me an option to put in my new user name. How can I correct this.

    What you are getting is the AppleID (AppleID can be an email adress) used at the time of the purchase of this app.  It is an identifiant allowing Apple to link your purchase to your account.
    If you want to manage associated email, you can go at https://appleid.apple.com but the AppleID could never be modified.  
    I do not know if in your case, it is just that you no longer use your old email address or that you actually a 2 AppleID.  In any case, you will have to remember the password related to the account used for your purchase.  If you don't, just use the link above to try to retreive your password.

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Are you talking about MyWebSearch toolbar (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q1) which offers apps such as Smiley Central, Cursor Mania???
    If yes, uninstallation instructions are here - (http://help.mywebsearch.com/sbar2.html#q4). Could you provide me some details about the ZIP folders. If I get a screenshot, I can help you very well.

  • My external LaCie drive gets an error message "the disc you inserted was not readable by this computer." The only options offered are "ignore" or "eject" Disk Utility sees the disc but does not give a repair option. What can I do?

    When I plug in my external LaCie drive I get an error message "the disc you inserted was not readable by this computer."

    Disk Utility sees the disc but does not give a repair option.
    What can I do?

    The good thing about mac-centric resellers such as OWC, is they have people on staff that can answer questions without you buying things first. They also have how-to information, and instructions are included in many of their products. I saw a link to watch a DIY video in one of their pages; an example of a RAID (with its own power supply) is shown on their drives page. Also a few in there, with no power supplies, for less money.
    If I were looking to backup and perhaps also have a partition for a system clone, I'd consider something like one of these: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    Some ideas on the RAID backup methods appear in google search, some of the pages are ideas and concepts; and the better ones also warn about using RAID for the only backup plan.
    Oh, OWC has live chat. Haven't tried it, nor have I bought anything from them. I have what appears to be two products from them, but have not used either. One is in a box as-new, but has only USB2.0 ports & my Macs needed FW400/800. It has been said their RAM is a good way to upgrade, too. But I can't confirm!
    A 'RAID-ready' unit for backup may be more versatile for just that, but I have not checked into these details. I use single HDDs in powered enclosures, and usually manually make backup clones to FW drives, of bootable OS X systems. Some of the OWC raid-ready use eSATA ports so that may not be viable for a computer without them.
    The unused in-box external drive I have is like the base model in the link above. However mine is USB2.0 (maybe) and won't boot my older Macs due to hardware variance; and my preference would be for FireWire options, these models do offer that. But the one I have does not. Dual 500GB HDDs, and they could be used in tandem as a RAID. That would be a choice set up in software. I'm not sure and not interested enough to read up just now.
    My backup method is not automatic, or a moving backup plan, if I don't get a move-on and make full system clones. I do make copies of photos and documents the manual way, to USB external drives; and occasionally backup to DVD or CD media. And USB flash, that helps to move files between computers without need to use file sharing via wi-fi. {Like Why fly? Walking is better exercise unless one is a bird. Squawk!}
    https://www.google.com/#q=raid+backup+mac
    Depending on the ports in your Mac, you may be able to use other cables to attach between a backup or externally enclosed hard disk drive with multiple partition and bootable clone in one of them. Not sure about the Thunderbolt, and where that is the main port, adapters are required to access other devices, as allowed.
    Anyway, I am going on and on, yet not really saying anything.
    My ideas would not be all that interesting to follow as a backup
    plan when matching available newer hardware to task, but you
    can get some into better ideas if you are not in a rush. Get a
    good setup and then look into more an betterer stuff.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I have a 2011 tahoe.  My bluetooth functioned properly until I updated my iPhone.  Now the iPhone connects to the Tahoe but when I try to call a number it does not work.  Either it cals the number and has no outgoing or incoming sound or it just says it iis unable to complete the call.

    I would check with the Auto dealer where the vehicle was purchased to check and see when the bluetooth software was last updated on your vehicle. With the vehicle being a 2011 and if the software has not been updated since the dropping of IOS 7 then obviously there will be software incompatibilities.
    Good luck.

    I have restarted the iPad - still the same? What else can I do?

    Judging by the reviews of the current version of the Kindle app you aren't the only one haveing problems with it - it looks like Amazon need to fix something with the app.
    Have you tried closing the Kindle app via the iPad's multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Kindle app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    You could also try deleting the app and redownloading it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it (you will then need to redownload your books in the app, assuming that it opens).
