  • HT1695 New iPhone 5 -only able to get wifi when sitting next to router. My old 3GS with iOS 5.1 works fine all over house.  Any ideas on how I can get my new iPhone 5 to work as well as old 3GS?

    I just got my new iPhone 5 yesterday.   I'm having difficulty maintaining a wifi connection. I can get reception when I'm sitting next to router but I get a short distance away and I get the message 'unable to connect to network'.   My old iPhone 3GS works fine at same places where new iPhone 5 won't connect.  I still am using ios 5.1  on 3GS.  I've turned off my old phone to make sure it isn't causing some type of interference and also switched off the cellular network to try to force it into wifi mode but without any success. I don't think it's my router since my old 3GS is working fine. Anybody have any further thoughts?  Thanks

    There are some low-profile slots though 1 of them are occupied by the firewire card: 1 low-profile PCI, 2 low-profile PCI Express x16, 1 low-profile PCI Express x1
    We actually purchased 13 of these computers for video editing, so I really hope it is possible to fix this without buying 13 low-profile graphics adapters. What gets to me is the fact that it does work when I disable the driver. (!) Shold therefore be doable to make a driver/update that works :-(
    Any ideas? Or, in worst case, anyone know about a low-profile graphics card that works?
    Thanks,

  • 2, after download of os5 will not sync with PC. "USB device not recognised" ... ANy ideas how to fis this ...

    help ... after dowloading OS5 my new iPad 2 will not sync with my PC. the message is "USB not recognised" ... any ideas how to fix this?

    I had same problem. By chance, I found a "work-around".
    On a whim, I tried plugging the USB cable direct into the PC (its an old 'tower' model that sits under the desk) instead of into the port on the monitor. The PC suddenly recognised the iPad.
    Why this makes any difference is a total mystery. But worth trying to see if it helps in your case.

  • HT1386 need to sync my old ipod with my new computer, How do I keep my old stuff on the new computer?

    How can I transfer stuff from my old Ipod to my new computer?

    Still did not work. I did everything listed. The program did not work as needed because it is only the free version and I should not have to pay for 3rd party software for something like this. Also, that article is outdated because windows 7 does not come with contacts software, but I managed to get it to work with a helpful post on another forum. Itunes still asked me to replace current iPod's data, I went ahead and clicked yes. I'll just go ahead and redownload all of my music and whatnot. Thanks anyway.

  • After trying to restore iPod several times, it is incapable of verifying the restore.  Any ideas how to fix it?  I've restarted both the iPod and my computer several times, and have redownloaded the lastest version of iTunes.  Help?

    My iPod had an error and I attempted to restore the iPod to factory defaults.  It was able to empty the iPod of the software on it, but it has yet to be able to successfully restore the iPod.  It goes through all the steps successfully until it gets to the "Verifying iPod Restore."  After the progress bar has completed, it then gives me an error message.  Every time, it's the same message: Error 6.  However, none of the suggestions on the apple technical site have worked.  I even completely turned off ALL of my anti-virus /firewall programs and it still would not go through.  Any suggestions how to fix it?

    Joe,
    Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

  • I have an old iPod, with IOS 4.1. But...

    Every time I try to buy something, it takes me to a verification place.  Then, it asks for my Apple ID password, and when I answer it, it asks again.  I type it in right, but it always asks again.

    Reset the password
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.

  • IPad 2 no sound with IOS 8.2 I've tried a reset. Any ideas? Very frustrating

    SSince updating to IOS 8.1.2 I have no sound though the speakers on my IPAD 2. I've tried to reset and turned on and off seversl times. Headphones work. Any suggestions?

    Hello there, Adrianlwickham.
    When having issues with sound from the speaker of your iOS device, the following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
    Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
    Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
    If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
    Restart your device.
    Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
    If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
    If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
    Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • I found an IPod and wish to contact the user using the SrL No any ideas how I do this, the IPod is locked.

    I found an IPod and wish to return it to the owner.  Anyone know how to get the owner dettails from the serial number?

    Sorry, but there is no way you can get owner information from the serial number. The best route is to turn the iPod into your local police department.
    Regards.

  • I cannot find in the new itunes how to delete the pictures - somehow not finding "pics" in the menu. I have a quite old ipad with ios 5.1.1

    Hi, thanks for your time: cannot find in itunes anymore how to delete pictures on my stoneold ipad :-)- somehow not finding "pics" in the menu. I have a quite old ipad with ios 5.1.1. Thanks a lot for your help.

    How did the photos get onto the iPad ? If they were taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc then they can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. You should also be able to delete them as part of importing them to a computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    If they were synced from a computer then connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar (with iTunes 11, option-command-S on a Mac will enabled the sidebar, control-S on a PC), and on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen use the Photos tab to de-select the albums/folders that you want to remove and apply/sync that selection. If you want to remove all synced photos then try selecting and syncing just an empty folder.

  • Had an old ipod with all my songs on some years ago now says i cannot synch with my new computer and new apple account do not want to lose all my songs how do i get them on my new comp pl

    Hi had old ipod with old large library on have lost my old itunes account so opened a new one but i cannot get my library onto my new comp help!! pl

    The music you purchased with the old iTunes account is tied to that account.  You need to obtain the ID and password for that account.  The following provides instructions.
    Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
    Once you get the accountinoformation you can transfer the the iTunes purchased stuff to the new computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    If you are the USA and have the latest iTunes you shuld be able to redownload them with these instructions.  Again, you need the ID information.

  • I am contemplating replacing my old Ipod with a 8gb touch which supposedly holds up to 1760 songs. In my ITunes library the average size of a 12 song album is 300mb which means I can get 27 albums x 12 songs is 324 songs. Where am I going wrong here?

    There is about 6.9  GBs of free space on an 8 GB Touch for data storage. That translates to roughly 23 of your average albums.
    Holds up to 1760 songs is based on the size of an average track which is about 3 to 4 MBs, whereas your albums have tracks averaging more like 25 MBs per track. I sort of doubt your average album holds what would be about 5 hours.
