    The personal hotspot is not an app or an icon; it is a setting. You must first have your carrier provision it, then you turn it on in settings. Most carriers charge extra for tethering.

  • I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
    Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
    Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases!  It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

    You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Try:
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • When I bought my iphone 5. I was told by apple advisor that it is 4G ready but just last Friday I have told by Vodaphone that it is not compatible on their 4G network. I am confused, can anybody please tell if it is compatible on 4G network? Thank you

    When I bought my Iphone 5, (Not 5S or 5C) from apple store, I was told by apple customer service that it is 4G compatible. I have always been with Vodaphone and I tried to upgrade my sim only contract to 4G. I have been told last week by Vodaphone that original Iphone 5 is not 4G compatible. Does anybody please tell me if it is or it isn't 4G compatible?

    I am in UK and I have been told by apple this morning that iPhone 5 is only compatible on EE network. Unfortunately they cannot do anything of the wrong information given by apple advisor at the time of sale. Disappointed.
    Why are you disappointed?   Apple was 100% correct, the iPhone 5 is a "4G" LTE device.  Whether it is compatibable with your carriers 4G/LTE network is something that you, as the user, must confirm prior to purchase.  If EE is the only supported LTE carrier in the UK, that is unfortunate but something that could have easily been found out at/before purchase.
    When asking about 4G compatibility, did you simply ask if it was a 4G/LTE device or did you specifically ask it if would work with your carrier on their 4G/LTE network?

  • How can i completely remove CA associates security software from my desktop? Thank you. AL M.

    I purchased the Computer Associates internet security software in 2010. I now want to install a different security product. However, I cannot completely remove the CA product. I have tried the normal removing of software from the software installed on my desktop but that does not get rid of the darn thing. Obviously there are some hidden files etc. that i am not getting to. So help please. This is also making my desktop frustratingly slow and i a am sure the uninstalled part of the CA software is causing this lack of response. Thank you in advance for your help and consideration.

    This is a a Firefox support forum, and so we can't really help with Removing CA. Please read something like http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061124194224AAIDpYU for help.

  • How can I fix notes on screen for reading(Ipod gen.5)?Thank you.

    I would like to keep notes on screen longer than they actually are on my Ipod. I have to restore them every once in a while.

    A broken screen is not covered by the warranty.  However, sometimes if you make an appontment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store they will give you a refurbished iPod at no cost.  If not you will have to pay:
    Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
    Apple will not replace the screen on your iPod, they will give you a refurbished iPod in exchange.

  • Formatted HD, but have backup of all the folders and files of Firefox. How can I restore everything, including plugins, bookmarks and saved settings?

    I have formatted my computer's HD because of a problem with Windows 7, the thing is that Windows 7 didn't start, so I couldn't backup my Firefox settings, bookmarks, plugins, themes, personas and etc. the right way.
    I also don't have a Firefox Sync account.
    What I do have are all the folders and files of Firefox, because I just created a new partition and installed Windows 7 again, what I'm having trouble is finding a way (if there's any) to restore everything from my previous installation to the new one.
    I have searched for days on both Google and on te Firefox forum with no success, the only questions I found are about restoring a profile, but what I'm trying to do is the same thing that the Firefox add-on " FEBE " does, which is restoring everything to the previous configuration.
    Here's alink to the add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/febe/
    I have tried copying, pasting and overwritting from the " .default " folder to my new installation of Firefox (yes, Firefox was closed), but when I opened it again, nothing was restored.
    I every single folder and file Firefox ever created on my computer, this includes the installation folder (at Program Files), the profile (.default at AppData) folder, the Mozilla folder (ProgramData) and the Mozilla Firefox folder (also at AppData).
    I also had the FEBE add-on installed, but like stated before, unfortunately I couldn't start Windows 7, forcing me to create a new partition to install a new copy of the OS.
    Thanks in advance.
    PS. Sorry if I made the text too long and/or if I mentioned the same things twice, just trying to be thorough.

    Hi Sdarts,
    I apologize for the delay in replying to your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are having issues restoring your Firefox user data.
    Please see the following article, which explains how to restore your Firefox user data using a previously backed up Profiles folder, which seems to apply to your situation:

  • How can I restore just one application from Time Machine?

    Hello, I have just one application that is really acting quirky and won't load correctly anymore and I would like to restore that application from Time Machine but am just not sure how to do that. Can someone please walk me through step by step on how to restore just one application. Thank you. Jean
    Message was edited by: anokienurse

    Before you restore an application from a Time Machine backup it would be wiser to remove the current installed copy then reinstall from the application's original distribution medium - download, CD/DVD, etc. The reason for this is that Time Machine backs up every hour. By now the bad version of this application is now backed up to your Time Machine backup drive. Restoring from the backup won't resolve your problem.
    First, uninstall the old program. If the program came with an uninstaller then use it. If not then start by deleting the application from the Applications folder. Then locate all the support files associated with the application and remove them, too. Look for these in:
    /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
    /Users/yourusername/Library/Applications Support
    Applications may come with a separate uninstaller program that could also be in your Applications folder. Some applications may install other files in other locations on your computer. If you tell us what the application is we may be able to provide additional help.

    Sara ~ Apple's mission statement is HERE. But the following statement from Apple's now-CEO Tim Cook during a quarterly earnings conference call on 21 January 2009 may give more insight:
    "There is an extraordinary breadth and depth and tenure among the Apple executive team, and these executives lead over 35,000 employees that I would call "all wicked smart". And that's in all areas of the company, from engineering to marketing to operations and sales and all the rest. And the values of our company are extremely well entrenched.
    We believe that we're on the face of the Earth to make great products, and that's not changing. We're constantly focusing on innovating. We believe in the simple, not the complex. We believe that we need to own and control the primary technologies behind the products we make, and participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution.
    We believe in saying no to thousands of projects so that we can really focus on the few that are truly important and meaningful to us. We believe in deep collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow us to innovate in a way that others cannot.
    And frankly, we don't settle for anything less than excellence in every group in the company, and we have the self-honesty to admit when we're wrong and the courage to change. And I think, regardless of who is in what job, those values are so embedded in this company that Apple will do extremely well."
