I have just fired up a new ipad, and am not getting the "info" tab in the bar, so I can't sync my contacts from my address book on my macBook Pro ... ??
Any clues as to how I can get this happening, and sync all my data that I can sync to my iPhone ? I don't seem to be getting all the faclilities I am suppopsed to ... most frustrating.
With Mavericks you won't get the Info tab, you use iCloud to sync contacts - from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12117 :
If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

Lost all but eight contacts from my address book on iMac, Macbook Pro and iPhone all lost by iCloud
When I try to access Address Book from my backup HD I cannot ... and I get this message: "You can't use this version of the Application "Address Book" with this version of OS X. You have address Book 5.0.3. So what! It worked until this morning. Now what?
Mail by default will show everything in your inbox, irrespective of how old it is. The only way I know you might be able to change that is by creating a Rule that alters how older emails are treated. Most likely you would know about any such Rules, assuming this is your personal machine. You can see if anything like that exists on your account by looking at Mail>Preferences>Rules tab.
I presume you are just talking about your regular Inbox? -
I recently bought the macbook and went through the settings to merge all contacts from Hotmail and Facebook. For some reason, only some of the contacts have come across and i cant upload any of the photos to them. Does anyone have an easy to follow solution? thanks
This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

I have just bought a brand new Ipad mini and started setting it up. I had updated to os7.4 and after it finshed installing I had to leave it before answering all the set up questions. When I switched it back on it asked me for a pass code which as far as I'm concerned, hasn't been set up yet. Anyone know whats going on!
Hi robertbpage,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If the iPad mini is asking for a password that you do not know, this article has steps you can take:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode

i have just bought a brand new ipad 2 and i cant get it to sync with itunes on my pc, running windows vista. Tried all the stuff on the itunes diagnostics but still cant get itunes to pick it up. Any ideas.
Try both of these -
Connect your iPad to your computer
Open My computer / Computer
Locate the Apple camera icon
Right click on it and go to Properties
There should be a place to set what will happen each time the device is connected, set it to do nothing.

I have just switched on my new 5s and gone through the intro sections. After entering my apple id, I selected the icloud update I wanted it to use (from my 4s). It is now stuck on the progress bar screen and has been for hours. Can I get it back to the original settings? I want to set it up as a new phone, until I can get on to a better wi-fi signal. Any help would be great.
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M. -

Hi have just bought a Sony Xperia J and am not able to tether my ipad as I did with my Nokia C3. Why?
What do I have to do to solve the problem so I can tether to my Ipad?
Is this phone another of the things that Apple does not support? How do I know before I buy a phone that it will be supported?How are you attempting to connect them?
Looking at the Experia J features it does seem to support Wifi Hotspot, but there is no mention of a Bluetooth hotspot. Different phones offer different things.
The iPad issues the message, because there doesn;t seem to be anything it can do with it. But this is not something apple is blocking its more a limitation or a non present feature of the phone.
From the Manual which I assume you've read through:
To share your phone’s data connection as a portable Wi-Fi® hotspot
1 From the Home screen, tap .
2 Find and tap Settings > More… > Tethering & portable hotspot.
3 Tap Configure Wi-Fi hotspot.
4 Enter the Network SSID for the network. Tap the Security field to select a
security type.
5 If required, enter a password.
6 Tap Save.
7 Mark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox. The phone starts broadcasting its
Wi-Fi® network name (SSID). You can now connect to this network with up to
8 computers or other devices.
8 Unmark the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot checkbox when you want to stop sharing
your data connection via Wi-Fi®
When that is set up, you can use your iPad to look for the Wifi network the phone is providing and connect to it as you would any wifi network.

I have dented the back of my new iPad and it is causing a little blur on the screen. Can this be fixed?
Yes, but "fix" entails replacing yours with a refurbished one at a reduced cost. There is no physical fix in the sense of removing the back unless you were to do that yourself.
Damage caused by you is not covered under the warranty. You can take it to your local Apple retailer to see what can be arranged. -
the iPad is totally new to me. I can't seem to do anything with my Apple ID. As the title says, I am trying to download the Facebook app to my new iPad and I keep getting an error. It tells me to sign in using my existing Apple ID, which I enter, then when I put in the password I get ConnectionManager::invoke::Failed to find service connection url. Cancel or Retry. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'd also love to know how to get rid of the old owner's name, which was Mike - I'm AnnWow, I found a solution in another thread:
I had exact same error.....
Rebooting - Failed
Logging in to iTunes - Failed
Logging into itunes Store - Failed
Logging into iTunes Genius - SUCCESS I woulnd't have thought it would make a difference but it does Then just log into the 'other' services with iTunes.
Good luck!
I still need to know how to change the name to Ann, though, Mike keeps popping up - and yes, I have changed it under Settings..... -
Import contacts from old address book on MacBkPro Snow Leopard into new MacBk Pro Lion
How do I import my contacts from old address book on MacBkPro Snow Leopard into new MacBk Pro Lion (on MacBkPro Retina). I can see the "AddressBook" file on the old HD (extracted from old machine--which died) and have a copy of that file on to desktop of new machine. [Copied from old HD: Users/home/Library/Application Support/Address Book]. There is an Address Book in the same location on the "MacIntosh HD" of the new machine, but some of the files in that (new) folder have different names. Risky to simply over-ride this. What should I do?
My mistake - my groups are there! They transferred perfectly. Still getting used to my wonderful new machine. Sorry to bother you!

Hi! I have to update the iPad, and do not get it!
hi! I want to buy about 20€ in apps (keynote, pages, numbers) but for this, I have to update the iPad, and do not get it! in the service have told me that I have to install the update on the Mac lion! you serious!??
If you have iOS 5 already installed on your iPad then you don't need to update the iPad - if you are on iOS 4 or lower then you will need to update if you want those apps as they now have iOS 5 as a requirement.
If you have a Mac then in order to update to iOS 5 you will need iTunes 10.5+ and Mac OS X10.5.8 or higher. If you have a PC then you will iTunes 10.5+ and Windows 7, Vista or XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later. -
I have a wireless keyboard for my ipad and it says to charge it connect it to my pc. can i charge it by connecting it to my ipad?
No. The iPad's port won't put out enough power. You could probably plug your keyboard into your iPad charger and charge it that way, but it won't charge off the iPad.

Just downloaded iBooks on my iPad and its not accepting my security answers how can I change that
Just downloaded iBooks on my iPad and its not accepting my security answers how can I change that?
Delete the data for the guest network on the iPhone, iPad, etc.
Log on to the "Guest" network
On the home screen, tap Settings, tap Wireless, tap on the name of your wireless network, tap Forget This Network.
Now log onto the network that you want to use, and the iPhone / iPad will connect to that network automatically in the future.
