I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to something else or close that page. I just did some updates on other apps and see those apps are still "open". How do I close them? I'm sure it's draining my battery. Help!

I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to that page and go off it. How do I close them? I'm sure they are draining my battery. Can someone explain what I'm doing or not doing correctly? Thanks

If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.

My iphoto9 has not been able to open for over 10 days!! I can't load my Christmas pics, etc. I know the pics are still there because I can access them through a round about way. Can anyone help me to OPEN iPHOTO!?

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.

I've activated a new iPhone 6 from the backup of the previous device and all pre-installed iWork apps got lost. How do I get them back? AppStore downloads are offered with a fee.

Hi all!
I've activated a new iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.3) from the backup of the previous device and all pre-installed iWork apps got lost. How do I get them back? AppStore downloads are offered with a fee. Any advices?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ingo,
thanks for your help. Your hint didn't solve my problem but pointed me in the right direction.
When I wanted to activate my new phone from backup I realized, I didn't knew the password. It was noted on a paper at home. So I activated the phone free cause I couldn't await coming home ... a new toy!
Due to GameCenter I have two apple-ids and unfortunately I took the wrong for the activation.
Back home I've reset the phone and activated it from backup. The iWork apps disappeared and now are linked to the other apple-id.
I was able to re-install the apps from AppStore for free. But I don't think I can transfer the apps to the other id.
Thanks a lot
Harald

After upgrading to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5 my shared photo streams seem to contain no photos when seen in iPhoto. From iPad the streams are fine. How can I get them to be recognized by iPhoto again?

Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

My computer crashed and I've lost two of my films. On my purchases they are still listed how do I get them back?

Re-downloading of movies has been licensed by the movie studios only in the US as of right now. I'm guessing, since you refer to "films", that your're not in the US and if so will not be able to download your movies again without paying. You'll need to restore from your backups.

PH2668 I have delete some contact that i dont need anymore. but when i send a text they are still there. how do i delete them

I have delete contact out of my phone. but when i send a text they are still there. how do i delete them

I'm a bit confused by your post.
When you delete a contact, I assume it is no longer listed in the Contacts app, right?
When a send a text, what exactly do you mean "they are still there"? Can you then go back into contacts and find the contact listed again?
Are you syncing contacts via icloud to several devices that you own?

All of my pics are blank, the outlines are there but the pics are blank. How do I get them to re appear?Ask your question.

All of my pics are blank. There is an outline but the pics are blank. How can I get them to re appear? and more importantly how did this happen in the first place?

Move the library back into your Pictures folder and open it. Then close it and try rebuilding again.
Select the options checked in this screenshot:
If that fails continue with this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

When I updated iPhoto, many of my photos disappeared. The events are still there but no photos in them. How do I get it back?

When I updated iPhoto to iPhoto 9.5, many of my events with the photos disappeared. The "events" are still there but there is nothing inside. I have been unsuccessful in trying to get the photos back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Yes - backup first in case something goes wrong
And if the iPhoto first aid does not resolve things download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - and use its rebuild command to create a totally new library leaving the current one untouched if you still need it

HT4994 i have normal sim in Nokia and all the contacts are in it, how i can import them in microchip of iPhone 4S

Hi,
i have normal sim card in my old Nokia phone and all the contacts are in it, how i can import these contacts to iPhone 4S. The contacts are more than 1000, it is quite hard to transfer them one by one. Please help.

I did get a notice
that i couldn't import new photos to my MACBook a few days ago--not enough room.
How much free space do you have on your hard drive? - Note that you need an absolute minimum of 10GB at all times for normal operation of your computer
Deleteing photos probably is not the answer - you probably need to purchase an external hard drive and move your iPHoto library (and possibley iTunes library) to it - you can operate that way (be sure the EHD is always available when you launch iPHoto) or you can have a small library on your MB and use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - to move photos between teh internal and external hard drive
ipmovel
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

HT1222 i just did this update for my iPhone and it has wiped out all my apps, etc. how do i access the backup for my phone so all is not lost?

I uploaded the 5.1.1 iphone update. It seems to have wiped my phone clean of apps, contacts, notes, etc. How do I get them back?

Restore from a backup.
apps you can get it back by either syncing with itunes, or on your phone app store - update - purchased - all or not on this phone, select the app you want by clicking on the cloud next to it.

The iTunes listings for the TV show The Wire are wrong! How do I tell them, and get my correct episode?

I went to the iTunes store and looked up the hit TV show The Wire. Doing so gives me alist of all 50 episodes, starting with episode 1 which it calls "The Wire". Makes sense since most TV shows start off with an episode called pilot or shares the main title of the show, but in reality the show it lists as Episode 2 "The Target" is actually Episode 1. The episode called the Wire is actually episode 6. Instead of viewing all episodes together I went into just Season1 where each episode seems to be listed in correct order, etc.

You can't transfer any purchase to the cloud yourself, whether a TV programme/series will show in the cloud for redownloading in the future depends upon what country that you are in (TV programmes can't be redownloaded in all countries), whether you move countries (you can't redownload purchases made in another country) and if the rights-holder keeps them in the store (they occasionally remove their items).
As you bought it on your laptop then you could turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos (under 'show all') 'on' on your iPad and it might show in the Videos app on it with a cloud icon against it for streaming/redownloading (it might also show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes Store app for refownloading whether or not you turn that 'on') - but that depends upon your country and only whilst it remains in your country's store. Similarly if you delete it from your laptop and tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' tick box on the Store tab in Edit > Preferences it might show in the TV Shows part of your library for redownloading (and whether or not you tick that it might show in the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage for redownloading).
But you should be taking a backup copy of it, and anything else that you download from the stores, there is no guarantee that you will be able to redownload any item.

I did the recommended re-install to resolve the missing MSVCR80.dll file. This worked, but I am now stymied by two error messages: "Apple Mobile Device failed to start" and "Apple application support not found". How to overcome?

That worked, however I now get two error messages when I install I Tunes:
o Apple Mobile Device failed to start.
o Apple Application Support not found.
This were of course deleted in the recommended re-install procedure to resolve the dll file, but repeated uninstalls and installs simply bring up these two error messages with a recommendation to install I Tune again. Installing the new I Tunes version seems to be problematic per the discussion groups and has no simple solution. SHould not the Genius bar be able to resolve this at an Apple Store? Want to buy a new I Phone 5S, but this problem effectively stymies this.

Since the Apple Java update of 4/6 and/or 4/12, Firefox doesn't load PDFs or download them (Safari works fine). Tried listed solns: no help. Ideas?

I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Power Mac. The Apple Java updates of 4/6 and 4/12 were released to counter the Flashback trojan - I installed each. The patch implied Java should be disabled - I allowed this. Javascript was NOT disabled. I later re-enabled Java using the "Java Preferences" application in /Applications/Utilities.
I tried the instructions I could find on the FF site to correct this, but with no good results. Among the things was resetting the download folder.
