I downloaded iOS 7 onto my iPhone 4 and updated the iTunes on my PC, WiFi connection works but somewhow it won't do anything when I plug the iPhone.

I downloaded iOS 7 onto my iPhone 4 and updated the iTunes on my PC, WiFi connection works but somewhow it won't do anything when I plug the iPhone. Now, I got frustrated that neither iTunes nor my iPhone do anything. I need my iPhone to get it back to work regardless if it's back to the last version of iOS.

I just encountered this problem for the first time and stumbled upon this forum to find a solution. I played around with it a bit and it seems that if you slide your finger from the bottom up, you will come upon that new screen that will allow you to do various functions with your phone (put it in airport mode, lock, etc.), you can select your Airport from this screen and play your music wirelessly from your phone; at least this was my experience. Hope this helps!

iTunes is already pre-installed on all new Macs. Do you mean that you updated it from Software Update?
Your iPod Touch problems should be posted in the iPod Touch forums. It's where the iPod users hang out.

I have installed new firefox - how do i get bookmarks etc. from old computer discs as old pc now broken.

My old PC running Windows XP broke and was not repairable but we managed to salvage the drives. I have a new PC running Wondows 8.1 and have installed Firefox. Can you please tell me how I can get all my bookmarks, passwords etc. from the old disc onto the new Firefox. I have the old disc configured as an external hard drive so it can be read easily.

My ipod will not connect to my home wifi, it can see it and asks for a password but will not connect. I have tried it at another location and it will connect to other wifi connections. I have another ipod that is connecting just fine to my home wifi.

- Reset the iPod. nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

You need to go to the App stores and find compatible apps. iOS device do not natively have to ability to transfer info to a computer via BT to a computer.
With iOS 8 you can use AirDrop

E71 wifi connection works in browser, but not with...

I need help badly.
On my Nokia E71 I can easily connect to a wireless network and browse the web from the browser. But when I try to read my Gmail from the mail client on the phone I get an error message "Unable to connect to e-mail server". The settings are correct since if I switch to GPRS/3G connection, then the client connects to the server and downloads the messages. This is weird. The same is for VoIP and Fring and Nimbuzz, they all work with GPRS/3G but they don't when I choose wi-fi.
What's more weird is that other people in the building use their person handhelds for the above purposes. The IT guy administering the network assures me no ports are blocked and that's obvious, since people use Skype and check their emails through the same wi-fi spots in the building. I fee l am missing something easy to solve, but I can't get through. Please help!

Hello mgoksoy,
Thank you for your reply. The problem is not with wifi connectivity option but inability to connect to wifi. For instance, if I run Nimbuzz, the settings are set to request from me each time I start it which connection to use - gprs or wifi. I choose GPRS it works alright, I choose wifi it does not connect and gives me "socket connection failed!" error. I get the same error in other wifi networks, so this is not about one specific wireless network. The same is with other applications, when I choose wifi connection it simply does not connect, like to gmail via nokia email client, I get a "unable to connect to e-mail server" error, whereas if I connect with GPRS, it works fine. And one more important, I can connect to all wifi's and browse the web via browser. But it's just the applications that won't connect and I was thinking if there was a setting in my E71 that need to be adjusted to allow applications wifi connections.

Your answer is likely in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Apple Support If you are familiar with this document, please re-read it and I suspect you may find something you either missed or are doing incorrectly.

Likely because it's a not self contained and/or it's game and copy protected, so install it via the developers instructions instead, which likely means it will have ot be uninstalled off the first machine, the developer contacted for a new license key before installing on the newer machine.
If you want it on both machines, you will need to likely buy another license.
Most developers are fine with transfering license between machines, you have to contact them.
They just want to make sure it's only on one machine so they are not getting robbed.

I have a new Mac Pro computer and have migrated my files from my older computer to the new computer. In trying to open a Lightroom catalog on an external hard drive I keep on getting the message "lightroom cannot use the catalog named " " because it is not writable and cannot be opened. I have fixed all the "permissions" and yet it will still not open. How do I fix this?

Hello Forum Members,
I figured it out. You have to select the actual logo of the Lightroom catalog and then click on "get info" and allow what ever your new user name to "read and write". That worked!

HT4796 Hi, I've just bought a new Macbook Pro and started migrating from PC but the remaining time is about 70 hours long, I just wanted to know if that timing is normal and if not, does leaving running my MacBook that time can affect it?

70 hours... no, it's not normal but it can't hurt your Mac to be running for that amount of time.
