I need help!!! Did my iOS 6 update today, thought it was fine!! Then my friend text me and instead of saying Siobhain it says voicemail text message!! I've tried deleting her and adding her again, turning phone off etc etc!! Please help!!

I know of no way to remove encryption on iTunes backups if you've forgotton the password. If you've used the 4 digit PIN code to lock your iPhone in the past that can sometimes default as your "password" for this encryption in iTunes. Try that PIN or any PIN you've used in the past. If you don't use a lock maybe you played around with that feature once when you first got your phone....try "1,2,3,4" or anything you could have possibly tried.
As far as accessing older unencrypted backups you can try this software. I do not have any experience using it but it seems like it's what you need and is probably the easiest route for both voicemail and texts:

If you want to try to find voicemails using Terminal, I found this link as well:

I know with AT&T, voicemails are only stored on their servers for 30 days so any voicemail older than that you would not have been able to access again.
Best of luck.

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
Any help very welcome!

Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin? I've pasted it below.
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

Is anyone having problems with the iOS 6 update? Random, unknown people are involved in my text messages!

I noticed that after I linked Facebook to my iphone, I had tons of new entries in my Contacts. I found a way to turn that feature off. Perhaps that's your problem with randoms joining in on your convos.
Yep, follow the instructions listed by the guy above me. I also did this: Settings ---> Facebook ---> Contacts: Off (allow these apps to use ur account). That cleared out all my Facebook friend phone numbers from my Contact list on my phone. Hope this helps. Updating an os should not require oodles of work on our end.

Is anyone accountable at verizon? will i ever really get my phone? i've seen people on this forum order later than me and get their phone quicker

I looked in the My Orders section of my Verizon account this morning (12/22), My SG iPhone 6+ 1228GB is now listed under my Recent Orders and my card was charged yesterday, So I am thinking it will ship Monday morning. This is how the process went for my wife's S 64GB 6+ two weeks ago. This is an interesting turn of events since I was also one to receive the email on Thursday about it being pushed back to 12/12 I'll keep you all posted.
Also I ordered 10/13.

I have a 3GS and I did the IOS 6 update now when I send a picture in a text IT WON'T SEND THE PICTURE! everything was working fine before the update and now no pictures will send in text, anyone know how to fix this?

I have a 3GS and since I did the IOS6 update my phone won't send pictures via text message. Anyone know how to fix this?

Do you have the Onavo app installed? If so, try removing it.
1. Go to your Settings app -> General -> Profiles
2. Locate the profile called "Onavo"
3. Tap Remove
4. Go back to your home screen and delete the Onavo Extend icon

Camera shutter won't open, have tried all the tricks, closing all apps, turning phone off, hard stop, etc. nothing is working. Any ideas ?

My camera app on my iPhone 4 is not working. The app will open but the shutter will not open and I am unable to open the options, etc. I have tried closing all apps, closed and reopened my camera app, shut the phone off, did a hard stop and the camera still will not work. Any help ?

Hard reset. Hold the top lock button & Home Screen button til you see the White apple. Try camera afterwards.

My Mac Keyboard Won't Work Properly Like Some Keys Will Do Other Functions Like B Would Turn the Sound Up And Some Won't Work Atall It was Fine Then I left the Room And Came Back And It Starting Doing What I Said it was Doing? Please Help!

The Keyboard on my IMac Dosn't Seem To be Working Properly Most of Them Are Doing The Wrong Functions And Some Are Completly Dead Only A Few Work Please Help!

DanielH123,
I'd recommend doing a SMC reset. I'd also HIGHLY recommend completing your profile. Without a completed profile it makes it difficult to help you out.
To reset the SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.

I can't find twitter after my iOS 5 update - I thought it was included in iOS 5?

Hi,
I've just done the iOS 5 update, and from what I've read, Twitter should be integrated, but I've not got an icon for Twitter anywhere - am I missing something (apart from Twitter! lol)?
Thanks.

Settings>Twitter>Install...

Stop sharing an Apple ID. That is the cause.

That is the activation lock. Your iPad will be useless unless you can remove it.

Do you have an active data connection (wifi or cellular)? Have you tried resetting the phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears (this is different than just turning it off and back on).

Email was working fine. Now not working even though nothing changed. Deleted acct turned off iPad turned on and added account again. Can receive mail but not send. Sometimes says relay not allowed sometimes different message.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails

If I did the IOS 8 update and didn't back my phone up before the update, does that mean all of my pictures are gone?

If I did the IOS 8 update and didn't back my phone up before the update, does that mean all of my pictures are gone? While I was doing the update it told me to plug my phone into iTunes. I did so and then it said my phone needed to be "restored" but it said I was going to get my pictures, messages, music and contacts back later on. Now being one day later I did not get any of that back.

If you don't have a backup then you can't get the data back.
It's not typical for an update to require a restore, but for a handful of people the update gets interrupted, and this happens.

Each time I try to access music and photos on Apple TV it asks me to turn sharing on in iTunes. When I go to sharing it says it's on and I have to turn it off then on again to get it to work. Is there a way to avoid this?
