I get erratic behaviour from my iphone5 if I use it while it is charging and being used as a hotspot.

as per the header... right this minute I'm tethered to my iphone5 and sitting on a laptop working. the totally unlimited 3g is more than enough for my home use and has been for the past 3 years. I upgraded to the 5 in febuary and this issue became apparent very quickly, after an update the issue went away a couple of weeks later the issue seemed resolved, it has recently returned after update 6.1.3. I won't install 6.1.4 until I get into the office on monday but it looks like the update doesn't addres the issue...
if I reply to a text or wish to write an email etc, after punching a few charcters in, it switched to the hotspot page in settings, I go back into messages and it repeats, over and over until I calmy subdue my rage and unplug the phone from the mains cable, at which point the phone works perfectly again... the screen seems to randomly decide whatI've just pressed.. if in settings for example, I press 'general', only to have the bluetooth page open - repeatedly unless I press and hold the key firmly for a period of a couple of seconds.
does anyone else have these issues? it only happens when the phone is running as a hotspot (laptop usually tethered to it) and plugged into the mains cable or pc, it never happens when unplugged - the issue is apparent whether on the 3m or 1m cable.
thanks in advance,
Hugh

It could very well be some type of interference when using it on wifi, since you say it seems to work correctly when you disconnect from the mains and when you have the phone plugged directly into the laptop. I don't use tethering that much, but this support document is for hotspot requirements http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3574 and this one is for troubleshooting the hotspot http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2756. See if either of them provide you with any further information. I wouldn't know what to do next.

I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple About this mac overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

What do I do? I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple>About this mac>overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
Hope someone else can give some insight

Is it possible to get pictures/videos from an iPhone5 that will not turn on?

My phone has been water damaged and my latest back up is a few months old.
Is there anyway I can get my pictures from the damaged phone and put them onto my new

Thank you for the help. The developer did say they're not colllecting the UDID's or the data on the phones, but I'm not trusting my iphone and my account's safety in his words only. He did also mention that the date had to be changed in order to download it, maybe because Apple doesn't allow it to be distributed that way anymore, anyways I'll just stick with the apps I get from the Store.
Best Regards.

How do I transfer Contacts from my IPhone5 back to my computer (windows)? It crashed and I lost my contacts but I have them on my IPhone5 and would like to transfer or export them.

How may I transfer Contacts from my IPhone5 back to my Windows Computer. I had a trojan virus and it wiped out everything including my contacts. My IPhone 5 has the only complete list of my contacts and I'd like to have them back on my computer.

Hi Jean167,
I'm sorry to hear you of your issues with contacts being erased from your computer.
You can copy them from the iPhone if you have iCloud setup on all your devices.
Here are some articles / information that may help:
Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
iCloud: System requirements
PC
Microsoft Windows 7 or 8
iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 or later
iTunes 11 or later (for iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match)
Outlook 2007 or 2010 or iCloud.com
Safari 5.1.7 or later or Internet Explorer 9 or later (for iCloud.com and Bookmarks), Firefox 16 or later or Chrome 23 or later (for iCloud.com)
iCloud Control Panel 2.1.2 for Windows
I hope this information helps, Jean ...

I get a message from Time Machine ""/Volumes/Data/Don's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is aready in use. Please tell me what this means and what I should do because of it.

I get a message in a box on my desk top saying "/Volumes'/Data/Don's MacBook Pro.sparsebundle" is alreadyin use. What does this mean, and what should I do because of it if anything?

You should do a restart. That often fixes such problems.
AND You should tell:
System preferences > Spotlight > Privacy ...
not to index the backup drive (it does a special index already).
Does that message mean you are NOT keeping your backups on a separate drive? Backuops should be on a drive with nothing else.

TS3704 Trying to delete I Tunes because of missing MSVCR80.dll followed instructions from Apple to delete - Apple Mobile Device support keeps coming up its being used I have gone to program files deleted what I can from folder but left with 3 files

I have been getting the MSVCR80.dll missing message.
Been on the Apple site and following instruction.
Going down the list has instructed I have Deleted I Tunes.
Deleted Apple Software Update
But when I try to delete Apple Mobile device it wouldn't delete so went into program files has the instructions say by going to Program Files\common Files\Apple\Apple Mobile Device Support Folder.
It still wouldn't delete saying it was being used.
I opened the file and highlighted all the folders and pressed delete, most of them have disapeared into my recycle bin but the folder still holds AppleMobileService, AppleMobileDeviceService_main.dll and MobileDevice.dll.
Message when I right click the first file is AppleMobileService I am told this action can't be completed because file is open in Apple Mobile Device. Close and Try again.
When I click the next file AppleMobileDeviceService_main dll it says It comes up with This action cannot be completed and File description Apple Mobile Device Service. Company Apple Inc. File Version 17.323.0.9 Date Created 7/9/2013. Try again...... and finally MobileDevice.dll come up with same message but file version 710.0.0.4 Date Created 7/9/2013 Size 902KB Both say Try Again but the same thing just recurred.
I have left my lap top on hoping that I a swift reply.
I am certainly no computer wizard and simply trying to follow the instructions to get rid of the box which keep coming up everytime I switch the lap top on saying APS Daemon.exe-System Error. The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. I had looked at the internet and there appears to be warnings not to click on the button.
I have had an apdate from Apple for the I Tunes but it wouldn't update. I thought that may have sorted it so whilst I had a few hours I thought I would go through the process that is advised on Apple's website.
I hope I have not ruined my computer. I haven't even tried deleting Bonjour or Apple Application Support (I Tunes 9 or later) has these are supposed to come after the step I am on.
Please HELP!!!!!

Sorry I missed your post. Anyone else with the same issue should find useful resources at Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.

I cant figure out what is wrong i keep getting this an OIEception that says "{"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."}

I am trying to move a file from a folder to another folder.
here is my code:
//storage of the all files
string[] folderContentNames = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Users\Jonah\Desktop\Test Pictures");
private void historyPictureBox_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
destinationFile = @"C:\Users\Jonah\Desktop\Test Test";
File.Move(folderContentNames[1], destinationFile);
updateListBoxFileName();
updateImageBox();
each time I hit the bolded underlined part I get that error message.
if you need anything else just ask.
Thanks in advance,
Thor Orb

Hi Thor,
If you want to move a file from a folder to another folder, I think you could get the sourcePath and TargetPath. The code below shows a simple demo:
string[] folders = Directory.GetFiles(@"D:\Test\VSC#\01\WindowsFormsApp\WindowsFormsApp\Test");
string desFile =Path.Combine( @"D:\Test\VSC#\01\WindowsFormsApp\WindowsFormsApp\Test - Copy\"+Path.GetFileName(folders[1]));
File.Move(folders[1], desFile);
In addition, the link below might be useful to you:
# How to: Copy, Delete, and Move Files and Folders (C# Programming Guide)
>> The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
The message seemed that the file was opened in other process. Did you operate the file with other code?
I think you could check if the files and the folders were opened, and review your codes if they were used in other places.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to post in this forum.
Best Regards,
Edward

Ya, Thanks I figured about the path and destation. yes I am using the file in another area, the file is an image jpg and I am displaying it in a picture box. Now I have been doing a little research I see a command called Dispose() and this is suppose to
release the handle on the image, but I can seem to figure out have to use it correctly.

when I first start the program the first picture displays, but when I trigger historyPictureBox_Click(), it does that error again. Another things is that I already looked at that link and it didn't help.
I just super confused, I would like your help on this.

HT201317 my phone was stolen how do i get my photots from my iphone5?

my iphone5 was stolen..how do i recover my photos? i went to icloud && its not giving me anything

You can't access photos on icloud.com
Photo stream photos from the last 30 days can be accessed by signing into your iCloud account on your computer (if it meets the necessary system requirements), and enabling photo stream. This article explains how to set this up: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.
Camera roll photos can only be recovered by restoring your backup to another iPhone.
Edit: If you have a backup of your phone on your computer, you may be able to extract the photos using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor. This will not recover photos stored in an iCloud backup.

How can I get the favorites from my favorites tool bar to open in the main window and not the sidebar?

I created a favorites toolbar. When I click on some of the icons, they open in the main window like I expect. Others open in a sidebar which I do not want and cannot even get to full size. How do I get all of them to open in the main window?

Generally, Bookmarks that open in the Sidebar are from links that you clicked on on web sites to add their Bookmark. To change that, right-click on the Bookmarks, opening in the Sidebar, choose "Properties" and un-check "Load this bookmark in the sidebar".
*For links and info on Bookmarks, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-use-bookmarks How do I use Bookmarks?]

How do I get my pictures from photo vault to show again? Recently restored my phone and the backup saved the app. The app says 200 pictures etc. in the folder but I cannot see them.

I have a new iphone but I did a itunes restore backup. Basically all my apps, pictures, and text messages are back. The photo vault app says I still have the pictures but I literally cannot see them. It is a white screen but I can "select" a photo (a green check mark shows) when I choose a picture, yet it is just a white screen. I try to send it or copy it and I cannot find it.

http://www.tansee.com/download.html for PC users
http://www.copytrans.net/copytransphoto.php (PC users)
Also you could try this:
Following are Steps to Transfer Photos from iPhone to MAC:
1). Attach your iPhone to Mac
2). Open up Preview
3). Click File menu and from there select “Import from iPhone…”
4). Select the photos you would like to transfer and click import, Select “Import All” in case you want to have all the photos in computer.
5). For confirmation sake go to ~/Pictures/ folder, picture copied from iPhone should be there.
If you have a windows PC then follow below given procedure to Transfer Photos from iPhone to PC.
You can accomplish this just using Windows Explorer, but there are two different methods. And here you go with the first one.
1). Plug your iPhone into your computer without iTunes running.
2). Now pop-up will appear asking what you would like to do with iPhone.
3). Click on “View Content”
4). Locate your photos.
5). Copy the same and paste it at desired location on your computer.
Another method for Mac users is "Image Capture" which is already installed on your mac, I will look for other applications for mac users, hope this helps!

Recently while sending an email I kept getting a meesage from Thunderbird to "Login failed, retry, cancel or enter a new password" I use Mac book air. Thanks

The only new thing in my environment is that I am in a hotel using their wifi when this problem started yesterday !

I've been all over the forums, the net, everywhere. It seems that there are posts from more than 3 years ago from people wanting to email mailmerge from pages to mail. Three years! It's quite terrifying the feature still doesn't appear to exist.
iWork and Pages have not had significant upgrades in the last 3 years, so I wouldn't be surprised if things haven't changed.
I simply want:
1 Data in my spreadsheet (don't care which spreadsheet)
2 Document in my word processor (don't care which wordprocessor)
3 Mailmerge emails sent via my email client (using apple mail but could be flexible)
Pages and Numbers can do items 1, 2 and half of item 3 (they can't email the documents). So you really need a way to send bulk emails and attach a document. Maybe you should look at an AppleScript or Automator action to email the letters.

CTrying to figure out why I can't load or copy any photo or video files from my laptop to my IPhone. I have a 3gs and am using the latest verson

My laptop uses Windows 7 and, on several occasions, I've tried to copy photos and videos to my IPhone so I can take them with me but nothing seems to work. I always get a message saying that the devise is no longer connected or failed to work. This applies to all functions of copy/paste or drag and drop. I was told that it had something to do with the way I was set up with regard to syncing but I'm not able to find anything that changes it. I can copy files to my Cloud Drive on the computer but nothing ever transfers in from my phone either. What's up?

What is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If the videos are in an iPhone compatible format and are in a folder of photos selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, do you also have Include Videos selected under the Photos tab?
Or if the videos are in an iPhone compatible format, they need to be in your iTunes library and can be selected under the Movies tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to be transferred to your iPhone.

I get erratic behaviour from my iphone5 if I use it while it is charging and being used as a hotspot.
