Just updated my iPhone 5 to the new IOS and now when I make or receive calls, the other person can't hear me. How can I fix this?

Just updated my iPhone 5 to the new IOS 7.0.6and now when I make or receive calls, the other person can't hear me. I have tried doing a hard reboot and resetting the network settings, but neither of those solved the problem. Any suggestions??

What installer software package files? Could you tell me how to get there?
Afraid I'm not a mind reader. You have to download the installer packages from whatever source provides those installer packages. For instance, you would download the DivX installer package file from DivX. The Perian codec installer package would found at the Perian web site. QT "Pro" codec components installers may be include with older Motion or FCP Suite software or from the Apple site, etc., etc., etc. At this point all I know for sure is that that you have part of the DivX package installed and should reinstall the entire package if you plan to use it for anything.
Everyone's codec component configuration may be different depending on what codecs the need to use. Perhaps it would be easier if I provide an image showing the codec components installed on my Snow Leopard configured laptop:
This is a very basic set-up since I do most of my video work on my iMac which has FCP installed on it. In this case you can see:
a) AC3MovieImport.component (Apple)
b) AppleIntermediaCodec.component (Apple)
c) AppleMPEG2Codec.component (Apple)
d) Elgato Turbo.component (Elgato)
e) EyeTV MPEG Support.component (Elgato)
f) Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component (Telestream)
g) Flip4Mac WMV Export.component (Telestream)
h) Flip4Mac WMV Import.component (Telestream)
i) Perian.component (Perian)
j) x264Encoder.component (MacUpdate)
The first three codecs were installed by my System Installer w/iMovie package (i.e., pre-installed on system when purchased or added afterwards by iMovie). The Elgato codec installers came with with my Turbo H.264 and EyeTV hardware devices. (I you don't have such devices, then you don't needcan't use these codecs.) The WMV codecs were purchased from Telestream. The Perian codec was a free download from the Perian web site and is used for DivX, XviD, 3ivX, DTS, AC3, MKV, FLV, and other audio/video/file type support. (I.e., I don't use the DivX package.) The X.264 codec is a leftover from my old Leopard system and not really used much anymore since I now prefer using HandBrake GUI for most X.264 custom encodes.
At this point, would assume you need to rerun the Snow Leopard/iMovie Installer if you purchased the system with system pre-installed or purchased the it as a system upgrade. Another alternative would be to find another Snow Leopard OS platform and simply copy the missing Apple iMovie codecs from a working system to your non-working system. All other codecs are up to you. Only you know what third-party codecs were installed on your system. And if you don't remember, you will probably find out what you are missing every time you try to play a video containing an unsupported codec.
Since you seem to be very inexperienced here, you may wish to consider joining a local user group or seeking some one-on-one assistance from someone in your local area.

HT4528 I recently downloaded the newest software and now my Iphone 4s shows the location services Icon is on all the time. How can I change this back to what we originally had or is there a fix for this?

When I downloaded the most recent software update the location services Icon showed up even thought I was not running any programs. Is this something new and is it going to drain my battery? This was not happening before the download. I am told I have to just turn off the location services biut I do use them on a daily basis and it seems to be a pain to have to shut if off everytime. Does anyone know how to fix this or am I just screwed until I upgrade the phone?

Hi Avahhava,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If you have tried those two things, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:

Yes. You can't update or restore any GSM iPhone without a valid sim card installed in the phone. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present. If you want to update, you need to get a sim card.

I got a new iPod and now I can't sync my apps from my old ipod

I got a new iPod and now I can't sync my apps from my old ipod?

Just what are you trying to do with the photos?
If the photos on the old iPod are in the iPod's camera Roll album then import them to your computer:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If they were synced to the iPod from another computer then you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView to import then into your computer.
Here is how to sync photos to the iPod:

I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else. How can I get the app to function again?

This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

This is a followup to my own posting above.
Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted. I deleted the app from iTunes. Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes. I said yes and then synched.
Readdledocs is now working again. It is no longer frozen. However, I have learned my lesson. I will download only pdf's from now on. I don't think it works so well with epub files. The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

HT204053 I changed my apple ID to my new email address how to I change my apple ID for the cloud to a 3 rd email address?

I have a 4 year old macbook and a new ipad mini. I share the same apple ID with my daughter who has an iphone 4. Recently I changed the apple id last week to my new email address. The cloud has my old apple ID ( email address), how can I change that cloud ID to a 3rd email address? I do not want to share that cloud ID with my dughter, I want us to have our own IDs.

First save any photo stream photos that you want to keep on your device by opening the photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing Notes with iCloud, email them to yourself as you will have to recreate these after changing accounts. Finally, if you are syncing any iWork documents with iCloud go to the settings for these apps and turn iCloud sycing to Off.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPad when prompted. (This will only delete the account from your device, not from iCloud. If your daughter is keeping the existing account her devices will not be effected by this.) Then sign back in with your new ID to create a new iCloud account, turn on your iCloud data syncing, choose Merge when prompted to upload the data to the new account. Then recreate any Notes from the emails sent earlier and turn on iCloud syncing with iWork again, if appropriate.
existing iCloud old email address with the old account. If you still want to access it on your iPad, you'll have to go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and sign in with the old account ID. This email will be fetch only, not push.
Once your iPad has migrated to the new account, if you also want to move your Mac to this account go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign in with the new ID.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- 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.

Your only chance is setting it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards, which you already did.
If this does not work, you should get it serviced:

How to back up your data and set up as a new device

Both my location on my iMac and my iPad are showing me 1500 miles away in Casper Wyoming at my previous address, how can I reset this?

I stupidly had the computer store set up my computer this last time when I made the transition to Mac. I have never donew this before and at the time bought the whole set up with a Time Capsule Airport, Wireless Printer and my iMac. We have since moved 1500 miles away and everything that want's to utilize my current locaiton places me back in Wyoming. How can I change this? I've tried resetting the wifi and done multiple other things to no avail. I know, why did I let someone else set up my system when I should have used that time to learn more about my Apple set up?

This probably has nothing to do with how the system was set up. For WiFi-only devices such as a Mac, Apple's location services go by the location of the WiFi router, not your actual location (since they have no other means for determining your location), so it seems probable that Apple's database still shows your router as being in the former location. You may need to find a friend with an iPhone and have him/her connect to your WiFi router to update Apple's database to your new location.
If your iPad is a WiFi+Cellular model and it's still showing the old location, though, then something else is amiss. Post back and we'll go from there.
Regards.

I purchased I movie on Feb.15th 2014, and now when I go to update it, it's showing the apple i.d. of the previous owner of this laptop from two years ago. I can't update it on my computer? Help?

If the tech didn't erase the Mac as I stated above, he hasn't properly prepared your Mac for a second hand owner. Nothing less that erasing the HDD and returning the Mac to the shipping version of OS X so you may set up the Mac as a new Mac will suffice. All Macs since the introduction of OS X lion have shipped with iLife apps from the Mac App Store installed for free. Prior to Lion, they shipped with the boxed version of the apps.
