  • I have an unlocked iPhone 3GS and ever since I updated to iOs 6 I can't send/receive MMS

    This is absolutely about to make me have to leave iphone if I can't figure this out. I can recieve picture messages when im in iMessage but is useless for people without iPhones. I can't recieve any media messages out of iMessage just texts. This problem first started occuring when I updated, never had any problems before.

    I am having the same problem but cannot get anything but the actual phone to work.  I have a unlocked 3GS running 6.0 (what was I thinking?).  No data whatsoever, no texting, no visual voicemail.  I simply cannot access the APN settings.  I have tried sim swap, I have tried APN changers.  I have been on the phone with ST tech support for hours and hours.  I have tried to get the answers from a "genius".  I am stuck and looking at Android devices, but would really like to keep using the iphone with Straight Talk.

  • Your newest update says 10.6 and higher, I have a 10.8 Mac, but it won't update your newest Firefox, why not.

    I turned on the computer this morning, clicked firefox, it showed a new update for firefox. I clicked update, it read my computer's operating system is not the correct version. I believe it says the system has to be at least 10.6, I have a 10.8, what is the problem? Thanks Glenn

    You have a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.5 as shown in the More system details list: PPC Mac OS X 10.5
    Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac.<br />
    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

    For an unofficial Firefox 8 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • HT1338 i have a mac book pro and, a i cant update my flash player ,why?

    every time iwant to see a video on line ,icant it says ihave update my flash player.but then after iget the sofware that this mac itsnot compatibleor i dont know what that means .can somebody give any advise or input on this pls, i really apprecciateit if u would thankx.

    It's because your OS 10.4 version is so old that you can't run the latest version of Flash. You are not even running the latest version of Tiger OS 10.4, which is OS 10.4.11.
    Don't know if this hack will work on your Mac since it has an Intel processor. But you can try it.

  • I can't install iO6 update, it keeps saying an error occurred. I deleted lots and I now have 3.5GB available but it still won't update to iOS6. Any ideas why? Thanks

    Hi,
    I can't seem to install iOS 6 update, it keeps saying an error occurred. I deleted lots off my phone and I now have 3.5GB available but it still won't update to iOS 6. Any ideas why?
    Thanks

    9.2.3 is not compatible with Mavericks.  You'll need to go to the App Store and download the iPhyoto 9.5 version.  It will be free. Move your current iPhoto version to the Trash bin and try the App Store again.

  • How to update iPod touch 4 Gen to current IOS? It is 3 years old and won't update past IOS 4.2.1.

    I had to restore my iPod when I bought a new computer and it won't update the IOS. iTunes tells me it is up-to-date, but all the apps say I need IOS 5. How can I update this? Thanks

    If you are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software.

  • IPod Touch 3rd generation won't update to iOS 5

    My sister has an iPod Touch 3 and it won't update to iOS 5. Everytime I check for an update, it says "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version". The apple website even says 3rd gen is compatible. Any help?

    More than likely, the iPod is a 2nd generation one, in which case iOS 4.2.1 is as high as it can go. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 to identify which model your sister owns.
    (8GB or 16GB - it's 2nd gen. If it's a 32GB Touch you definitely need to check the linked page.)

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
