HT5594 Has anyone noticed that since downloading IOS 7, that Find my Friends, is not working that well. It consistently shows my daughter in the River, when she is at home. It worked great before the download, and now it is barely working.

My daughter and I both have an Iphone 4S. We use Friend finder to locate each other when we are in different parts of the state. It worked wonderfully for like a year, until we downloaded IOS 7, and now it barely works. Whenever she drives out of her neighborhood it seems to kick in and work ok, but still not great. When she goes back to her apatment it shows her at her address for a split second, then it quickly jumps to another location far from where is actually is. I also downloaded another Family finder app, and it shows the exact same thing. I have a GPS tracker in the car, and it works just fine up there in the same neighborhood, so I don't know how the technology is different. Can anyone help because she is 7 hours away from where I am in school, and I worry!!

Thanks to all, tried both suggestions and they worked wonderfully, seems to be all OK now. Many thanks again!

I backed up my phone before i went on vacation. I dropped my phone in a pool and now it doesn't work, is there any way that i can get the pictures that I took on vacation off of the phone?

IF you had icloud backups and Camera Roll turned on in Settings on the wet phone, then you can restore that backup to an iOS device, but not a computer.

Once you get a replacement phone...
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

My computer won't let me run the setup.exe file. I am an admin I've run as admin and I've downloaded many times. I just reformatted my computer and now it won't work.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Has anyone noticed how easy it is to read a passcode that lights up with each key you press from across a room? Is there a way to stop keypad from lighting up on iPhone 4S, iOS 7?

I called Vodafone corporate help desk as I have a company phone :-
I was told to hold down the off button at the top of the handset at the same time as holding down the round menu button at the bottom of the handset for 20 seconds - the phone went off, then restarted and it all seems OK now.
Def something with the ios 6.1.2 upgrade :-((

MacBook Pro
Apple - Support - MacBook Pro
Mac OS Version builds
When did yours come out? what does the above show as model and minimum build?
You should have yoru OEM OS X DVD, not one from another Mac, or retail, though the last retail OS X DVD was a year ago 10.6.3.
If it installed, I don't see an issue unless the drive had corrupt directory etc.
What you need to do is repair your boot drive or restore from backup.

Keep iPhone on wall charger for ten minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

Updated to ios6 and now it won't work in the car

**** - this apple help is really not helping
i updated my iphone to the io6 and now it doesn't work in my car. Why's that? I tried another iphone with the same problem, it was just updated to io6 and now nothing works ***

No - I updated my iphone last week to ios 6 and now when I use my phone in my car to listen to my music on the iphone it says 'no directory...'. I tried another iphone, just updated, and it said the same thing - then I asked if I could use a iPod, it's the old version ios 5 and it worked fine.

I just updated my Iphone 3G and now it won´t work anymore. It wouldn´t even boot. It was just working for 3 sek. after the installation and now it shut itself down. Any help, please?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
You also said: "It also will not let me download any music onto it." What happens when you try to sync music to the iPod?

It says it cannot removed the older version of iTunes.
Doublechecking before proceeding ... what's the precise text of that message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)
