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/ht1430

    It takes two to tango, maybe it's your recipient that has weak Internet/Cellular connections.

  • I have an IMac Snowleopard.  I just received a messge on the computer when I click on iTunes that iTunes is corrupt or improperly installed.  It has been fine until now.  How do I fix this?

    I have an IMac Snowleopard 10.6.8.  I received a mesage when I click on itunes that it is either corrupt or installed improperly.  It has never given me a problem before in over three years.  How do I fix this?

    Do you think that upgrading to Mountain lion would stop my computer from bouncing back up to the top when I scroll down.  This happens mostly when in Safari online.  If I close out of safari at that point, the computer makes a drumming noise.  This also happened to my last MAC which was pre Intel processor.  Any idea what this is about?  It is most annoying.

  • When I take pictures with my iPod 4th gen it will flip my pictures right away, as if it's a mirror. How can I fix this?

    Okay, so my iPod 4th gen has been acting up. Everytime I take a picture while facing the camera, it flips my picture. So if I take a picture of my right side, it'll show my left side. It's very annoying and I can only take mirror pics >.< someone please help me!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. The cracked screen voids any warranty you had on the iPod.

  • I have updated to 4.0 and am not able to receive stock quotes on my MSN homepage. How can I fix this?

    Ther area where the quotes used to appear is totally blank and the controls are not responsive.

    Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it works correctly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
    The most likely candidate is Adblock Plus if you have it installed. If you do, click the arrow to the right of it and choose "Disable on this page" and then either hit F5, or click Reload to refresh the page.
    I've uploaded a screenshot which illustrates what happens to the Global Market News ticker on another site. ABP treats it as an ad and blocks it as you can see in the lower half of the image.

  • My iPhone 4 just upgraded to ios7 and now the keyboard has 15-20 second delay. How do I fix this!

    Can I go back to iOS 6 
    Or is there a fix for this?
    My phone is incredibly frustrating and worthless for texting now. The initial password typing has the same issue.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    And this... Reset all settings
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
    This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

  • I tried to update firefox, then the update crashed. I cannot open firefox any more because the "firefox.exe" has been "changed or removed". How do I fix this?

    I was trying to update firefox to open a pdf file from a website that said on the top of the page that my plugins are out of date.

    Hi,
    Run an antivirus program first. It's very possible you just got stung.
    If that didn't fix it, reinstall firefox.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT1338 Updated my imac from 10.6 to 10.8.2 recently. My iphoto logo in my Dock has been replaced with a transparent "question mark" and I can no longer access my iPhotos... please help!!  Mark Howell

    Why can I no longer find my iphotos?  Updated from 10.6 to 10.8.2 recently... The iphoto logo in my dock has been replaced with a transparent, grey, question mark... why? How do I restore my iphotos?  Searched for them in Finder, and in "search"... they appear as text only.. but no photos.. please help.. Mark

    Have you verified that the iPhoto applications is not in the Applications folder or somewhere else on the hard drive? 
    To do so download and use  Find Any File to search for "iPhoto.app" because FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't.  If the application is somewhere else on the HD FAF will find it.  However, I doubt that it will be there but it's worth a search.

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
    We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.

  • I have a 4th gen ipodtouch and the screen doesnt work to touch only voice???help

    i have a 4th gen ipodtouch and the screen doesnt work to touch only voice???help

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.

    I have a first gen iPad, and it will randomly go home from the Internet when I don't press any button.  I have a wireless connection at home.  Is this a known bug?  What can I do?

    You maybe running low on memory since you are using the original iPad with iOS 5.1.1 and the iPad is crashing. This may help and it certainly won't hurt.
    Quit all apps completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Do this before you launch Safari again. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data. You don't have to clear the history.
