I can't get homeshare to work on ipad2? Please help!
Despite watching many youtube videos and reading forums, I have yet to solve my homeshare problem.
What I have:-
- Ipad2 running iOS 5.1.1;
- Music App (not ipod app);
- Dell Inspiron (no comments please);
- latest version of itunes on both devices;
What I have tried/done:-
- clicked homeshare on my itunes account on PC, entered information and clicked done;
- enter the same information in music app under settings on the ipad;
- gone into music app clicked more and only "genre" and "composers" with "sort by artist" come up. No "sharing" or "library";
- I've then tried turn homeshare back off then on again entered the information but NOT clicked done. Entered the information again on the ipad, back to itunes on the PC and clicked done. Still no "library" of "sharing" option on the music app under "more";
- I've tried disabling firewall for home network;
- I've tried amending settings on firewall;
- i've rebooted the ipad several times;
- I've restarted the PC several times;
- The ipad device only shows on PC when connected by cable not as a wireless device;
- Under preferences in itunes I have ticked share the entire library and home sharing computers.....option.
Any ideas please?

Is it in discover mode?

Can't get MMS to work. @VZSupport - Please help
Hello,
I've a new iPhone 4s. Number ported from sprint.
Voice - check
SMS - check
Data - check
Wifi - check
iCloud - check
Hotspot - check!
MMS - no cheese. red exclamation mark almost instantly
Following actions tried already
- Yes, Settings -> Messages -> MMS messaging is on
- power recycle
- *228 Option2
- Reset Network Settings
- reset (home + power button for 10s) after settings changeUnfortunately calling tech support is the only option because:
1. its sounds like something is wrong in the system with your text/mulitmedia messaging and a tech support rep needs to verify that you have the correct feature on your account. Also they have the ability to refresh the feature which may resolve your problem
2. A store rep may not have access to the tool that is used to refresh the feature.
I've seen this problem happen before and it usually takes about 4 - 6 minutes to resolve it!!!!!! -
I have iphone 4(ios 5.1.1)but there are no any icon like personal hotspot. How can i get it to my phone. Please help me. Thank you.
The personal hotspot is not an app or an icon; it is a setting. You must first have your carrier provision it, then you turn it on in settings. Most carriers charge extra for tethering.

I have changed my password and still can't get home sharing to work. Get the message "Home sharing could not be activated because the account or password was incorrect." It's what I have used to sign in here! Any help much appreciated.
So I reset my Apple ID password. Which then stopped my MobileMe account from working. Hang on - these were 2 different accounts a while ago, with different passwords!!!
So I have logged back in to MobileMe with my AppleID, and that's working again. After a short wait I can now create Home Sharing again.
Folks, I think we have just had our Apple IDs merged with our MobileMe accounts!! With no consultation or warning.
My guess is that this is the most seamless way for Apple to do it, as the vast majority of people use only one email address and one password for everything. Only those of us who had the same email adress but different a different passwords for MobileMe and Apple ID will have noticed. Annoying for us few, but a clever strategy on Apple's part, becasue we have been driven to fix the issue ourselves by chaning the password, and in doing so we have realised that our mobileme account is now the same thing as our Apple ID. -
Can't get paypal to work? This may help.
Well, 24 hours after my 32 GB ipod touch purchase, I am not an apple fan. I had a very typical experience, I have windows 7 32bit on a Dell XPS laptop M1530, I downloaded a fresh version of iTunes (9.2.1.5), I upgraded the ipod to newest version (iOS4). Why did I spend so much time getting this stuff to work? I did get it to work, but support was useless and blamed microsoft (in fact I didn't do all the steps correctly).
Anyway a few things I figured out. Before you begin, you need a valid paypal account. You also need internet explorer. This doesn't work on Chrome for whatever reason. You can go to start menu -> Default programs to change web requests to open up IE instead of chrome (then just change it back when you are done with paypal activation).
Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery. From the menu bar at the very top of itunes, go to the store menu, and select 'activate my computer'. Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them. The only way to deactivate individual computers is to have them connected to the network and with itunes, and just go store -> deactivate computer. If the computer is not activated the process will also fail when paypal redirects back to the itunes app.
Next, create/update your itunes account. When you get to the payment options, you select paypal. That launches a web browser. Again, chrome didn't work for me. You go through the paypal logins. When you are done you should get two warning messages, one to display only secure or all content (hit 'no'). The other warning mentions that you are launching an app from a web browser. Click allow (or yes or whatever).
The process should bring you back to itunes purchase setup. Scroll down to the bottom, hit 'done'. To verify, I log out and log back in again, and look up your account info. It should have paypal. Note, once you get this set up, you don't really have to screw with it again I think.
The other tidbit I have is that once you download the apps (click the price tag on the app) you need to sync your ipod. If you click on your ipod on the left menu, then click on apps, select all and click apply on bottom right of screen. That should work.Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery.
Because you don't need an iTunes account tio use or install iTunes.
You cannot authorize the computer until you have an account because that's what you are authorizing.
Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them.
You can have 5 computers authorized at any one time. You can only select Deauthorize all when you do hae 5 authorized and you can only do it one time per year.
Next, create/update your itunes account.
Again you cannot "activate" (which is authorize) unless you have an iTunes account. So you cannot authorize iTunes and then create an iTunes account. -
Trying to use mail bob
X manager for google mail that I bought. Multi box management promised.i downloaded it and set up 3 accounts. Now when I open it I can ONLY get to the add account screen. Am I missing a step?If your email account offers a webmail access, I suggest checking the webmail - log in to your account using the webmail access, and I predict you will see all those "unread" emails there and can dispose of them from there.
This happens because the iPhone that went bad, when reading those emails, did not remove them from your email provider's servier. -
After updating to iOS 5 today, i was able to get my iphone working with virtually no problem. The issue i am having is that after i finished with my phone, i tryied to do the same with my ipad. Everytime it is plugged into itunes, it keeps saying it needs to restore over and over again. I have done this about 20 times today and have lost it. I can't sync anything with it, especially my music or calendars. Anyone know of a solution?
This will fix it

Can't get my table to sort. Please help
Can't seem to get my table to sort. That was a non-issue with the previous version of Numbers but now if I try to sort ascending by totals it just shuffles my numbers with no visible logic. Please help, this is such a simple task, shouldn't be so hard. I tried all suggestions on the forum and nothing works. This is a snapshot of the table:
And this is the result after sorting descending by Totals column:
Any and all help welcome!Hi Dannie,
Sorting in Numbers 3 follows a different pattern from Numbers 2. Formulas do not automatically adjust.
When Numbers 3 was installled, it was placed in your Applications folder. Numbers 2 was moved to a subfolder called iWork '09 within your applications folder.
With your document open in Numbers 3, File > Export To > Numbers '09. Then use Numbers '09 (Numbers 2) to work on it.
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.
Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian. -
i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

Cant get viber to work!! PLEASE HELP!
I have tried to download viber many times on my blackberry torch. I works fine with the wifi but does not work with my internet connection. I have tried to speak to vodafone about it and they tell me that it is a blackberry issue not a vodafone one. Anyone had the same issue? anyone know how I can resolve this? Please help. Thanks
Adding something else commented so prince2012
Remember that Viber application works with 3G mobile network and via wi-fi
If you've configured the application properly and Connection lost maybe is because the signal is weak and the call is lost.
Regards...

i pressed "SYNC" and lost all the songs from many cd's that I loaded to my library, how can I get them all back?
When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details. -
