I have recently updated the operating system on my iPad. Now my alarm is silent and my FaceTime doesn't ring aloud when a call comes in. How do I fix this please?
Do you see a half moon icon in the upper right corner of the screen? If so, you have Do Not Disturb enabled. Settings>Do Not Disturb. Turn it off.
Or do you have system sounds muted?
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center. Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?
Thanks in advance.1. On your computer, yes. Use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, or similar software.
2. No; if you use an emulator, it may install system components. Back it up anyway.

My iMac says I have 10.6.8 operating system now. Problem is I do not know if that is 'Lion' or 'Snow Leopard' ... and I wish to upgrade to 'Mountain Lion'
That is Snow Leopard.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
Snow Leopard General requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may
apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as stated above.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or
Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion. -
I have Elements 12 and operating system Windows 7. It is not unusual for me to have a half dozen + copies of a single image. I am not creating these additional images myself, so must be the system. Deleting (including from the hard drive) does not help. Can anyone help please?
1- The only way for picture files to be automatically added to the catalog is to allow the 'watch folders' option in the file menu and not choosing to have the organizer warn you of any addition. If those files are already in the catalog they should be ignored, only new files should be added.
2- Otherwise, there is a downloader option to ignore duplicates when you import from camera or card reader to avoid importing several times from the same card.
The Organizer considers files are duplicate when they have the same 'date taken' and size in Kb. -

I used Firefox yesterday morning and it worked fine. I went back to my computer yesterday afternoon and Firefox wouldn't open. I've tried everything. I even updated Firefox. But it still won't open. I have the Windows 7 operating system. Is there a compatibility issue? Internet Explorer works fine. But I prefer Firefox. Please let me know what I can do to fix the problem. Thanks.

Lost music when operating system crashed
I recently lost my operating system and had to restore the computer to "New". I was able to transfer my purchases from my IPOD back to my library, however there were some songs that I bought that day that I did not sync to the IPOD, but they show up in my purchase history. How do I transfer these songs in, or how do I contact ITunes to have them help me?
thanks,
ErinIf you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on the link at the bottom of this page you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

Can you tell me if I have a 64 bit operating system which Java update do I download
Please can anyone advise me on what Java update I download for a Windows 7 64 bit operating system. My Firefox is telling me I need to urgently update my Java but when I click through to update all that is there is a page of confusing information about 32 bit and 64 bit systems. It asks which version am I using 64 bit version of Firefox or 32 bit. I didn't know there were two, I thought when referring to 64 bit and 32 bit it meant the operating system of my computer. Can anyone clear this up for me. Thank you.
Of course, if you have a x64 bit system, its better to download a x64 bit Java version. However, i think Firefox won't be able to use it since Firefox isn't x64 bit (yet). So if you need Java in your browser, you'll need Java's 32bit version.
Keep in mind i could be wrong. It's just my guessing because i tried it out some months ago. I installed 64bit Java but Firefox couldn't handle it.
However in my opinion you won't recognize a difference between 32 and 64 bit, unless you play games in Java or do other resource intensive work. 32bit will always work on a 64bit PC, but not the other way around. -
I have apple 4s and the operating system is iOS 5.1.1 got the update message of iOS 6. if update the iOS 6, other functions will work unchanging?
What other functions?
There have been some wifi related issues reported with the 4S being updated to IOS 6. There is no turning back once you update so keep that in mind.
I recommend updating via iTunes so that you make a backup of all your data. You may want to make an iCloud backup as well.
Other than that, I don't understand what other functions you are concerned about? -

My daughter received a 5th Generation iPod touch for Christmas, the newer one with the lightning USB, but when I try to sync it to my Mac, it says that the Operating System isn't up to date. Its 10.5.8. Is my next option the Snow Leopard 10.6 or the Mountain Lion? We're thinking of getting iPhone 5's as well.
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
A 5th generation iPod and an iPhone 5 need iTunes 11, that needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later.
First, see if your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 if it's supported, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade.
After upgrading, open > Software Update to install the most recent version. Maybe you will have to run Software Update again after updating to 10.6.8 in order to install iTunes 11.0.1. After that, you will be able to sync the iPod touch.
If you want, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is supported, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Check if your programs are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com -
I have downloaded the new operating system but it says it cant download iCloud still
I have downloaded mac 0s x 10.8 however when I go to download iCloud it says i need version 10.7, i wonder if its because i went straight from snow lepeord and didnt download and buy lion.
Click on the Apple icon on the left side of the tool bar and then "About this mac" - what operating system version does it list?
And you don't "download" icloud - icloud is a service that you turn on or off from System Preferences>iCloud. If you don't have an iCloud icon in preferences, then you don't have Lion or Mountain Lion (10.7 or 10.8).
