IPhone hotspot is enabled, but nothing can see/connect
I've got an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.4, and I have the personal hotspot enabled on my account. I've got the ability to enable the hotspot, and the screen shows that the device is "Now Discoverable". However, if I'm trying to connect via WiFi, almost nothing can connect! Of course, if there is another iProduct that can connect to WiFi, that seems to work more reliably (hmm...). I'm trying to connect with a laptop running Windows XP, the network is not in the list of available networks, and if I manually add the network and set the password for the network and force a connection attempt, nothing happens.
Why is this?! Bluetooth connections seem to work more reliably as well...
Thanks,
-Max

have an airplay enabled AV Receiver - how do i set up Airplay
I have a Yamaha RX-V673 which is Airplay enabled, but i can't get Airplay to work either on my Mac book or my iphone. The receiver is connected to my network and i can control it using the iphone App and via the web browser option.
Do I need Apple TV or to change some settings somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciatedYou are making some progress with setup of wireless network. Apparently there is reliability problem with the wireless connection. Perhaps you want to refer to following Apple support documents and start tweaking parameters in the router to improve the reliability. I used to have third-party routers such as Belkin and Netgear but switched to Apple Airport routers (Time Capsule then Airport Extreme for now) because of incompatibility issues whenever Apple upgrade Mac OS X. But since Apple develops Airplay protocol as alternative to Bluetooth for wireless audio/video streaming (with much better bandwidth) and must be deployed in any wireless network, there is no reason third-party routers not working for Airplay protocol.

My iphone 4s is working but I can not see the screen.
my iphone 4s is working but I can not see the screen. What is going on?
Possibly backlight died, if you look at it closely in bright light can you see a "Shadow" of the screen image?
First, back up your phone
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Then, restore the OS from scratch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If that doesn't work, you'll need to have the phone serviced

I was in the middle of using my iPhone 4 running on the latest iOS before iOS 6 and the screen went black but you can see it is still on because the color of the screen is blueish blackish like when your phone is turning off. Any suggestions?
Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

my iPhone is almost full, but I can't see what is on it, and what to remove. In iTunes a yellow bar ("other") - anyone knows what that might be???

When away from my home, I need to utilize iPhone Hotspot (AT&T). I can access RoadRunner Webmail and download to my iPhone with or without the hotspot. But, if I wish to use the Iphone Hotspot to download email via the Apple mail program on my laptop, I get an error message indicating: "The sender address [username redacted]@twcny.rr.com was rejected by the server smtp-server.twcny.rr.com" but I am able to access internet sites. Anyone run into this issue? Any fixes? Thankx
See if anything here helps.

Was the device actually unlocked by Verizon?
Just FYI, diesel, per an agreement between Verizon and the FCC which allowed Verizon to buy additional spectrum, all Verizon-model iPhone 5, 5C and 5S models are already unlocked.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are referring to photo stream, do you have photo stream enabled on your computer. -
iphone 4s is working for example can play,music recieve texts ,calls ect but has black screen and have tried the force shutdown method but still can see what im doing on the screen
Did anything happen to prior to your phone acting this way? It sounds like your screen is dead, but it is hard to say without knowing what what the cause.
1) was this a gradual problem? Did the phone screen start dimming a couple months ago and now has degraded or after some event (known or unknown to you), the phone started behaving this way.
2) Can you give more specifics on the problem? You said you have a black screen, but also you can see what you're doing on screen. Is the screen just really dim? Is the screen completely black? Does anything else besides attempting to reset the device cause it to flash white? -
IPhone 4S will not charge. Can see battery icon but does not take charge
iPhone 4S will not charge. Can see battery icon but does not charge
Hello Kbeaty531,
The following article provides some good information and useful troubleshooting steps for situations where your iPhone appears to not be charging.
iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive
If you see the image below, charge the phone with an iPhone USB power adapter for at least 15 minutes.
You should see this image when iPhone begins to charge:
If the screen still displays the low-battery icon, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the issue persists, try resetting the iPhone while connected to the iPhone charger.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

I Suddenly Have No Buddies Online but They Can See Me?
i am using a MBP 13" running SL fully up to date.
last week my iChat stopped showing anyone online (they are greyed out) in my contact list but they can see me. i have restarted deleted my accounts and out them back and nothing. i am also having the same issue with the iPhone i sync with my MBP?
here is what i have tried:
1. installed Chax for SL and no luck
2. installed Adium and i does the exact same thing as iChat
any help would be greatly appreciated as i use this for work interactions.
thanksIf logging the iPhone out does not work on it's Own try re-setting the option to Push the Stuff to the phone (In Accounts in iChat about Enabling the Mobile Phone option)
The restart iChat and see if that helps.
With iChat in the General section there is an Option to set you Status To Off Line on Quit. The default is to not do this.
This leaves you with a partial Login (it's for Off Line Messaging)
The Mobile Phone option means that you have a virtual presence at AIM All the time.
If they have a problem with the servers (And it is not uncommon) the "flags" at the servers that say where a message is going and what your On-line Status appears to be gets messed up.
It is most likely about getting things reset from just one app or device.
(you may need to set iChat to NOT allow Multiple Logins to sort it)

Can't see the other person, but they can see me. A...
i was wondering if it is possible, this person i believe uses a Android or Iphone, for the camera to be turned off for video chat? I can never see the other person but they can see me - and i can see myself during the video chat. My video which they see i also see takes up the whole screen. This issue also is the same for when i use Windows and video chat with this person.
Hello pfierrobb:
You have to enable it in SKYPE. Open up Sykpe click on tools then select options . When that windows opens select video settings. Then you well see select webcam click on White box select your web cam choices. Windos 7 HP computers it is called HP web camra filter. I just close out the filter stuff if I am not using it during chat session. Some HP computers call it cybrlink web cam. If your web cam isn't listed yet the web cam still works in other applications your Skype software might be corrupted. Just uninstall Sykpe and reinstated it back with a new copy download http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/ If you are still having issues please let us know. Thank you frrw. -
I have tried everything but I can't connect my iphone to my laptop. It says that apple mobile device failed to be installed. I have read everything on the internet and did everything but still am facing the same problem. Can you please help me.
Again without stating the trouble shooting steps you have taken, its hard to direct you with any information.
Try a different port on the computer.
Does the iphone beep when u plug it up. ?
Plug iphone into computer and give it 3 to 4 minutes to see if it connects and is running slow.,
Delete the apple mobile device from your computer.
Upgrade itunes to newest version.
Is you USB cord defective ?
Any USB 3.0 on your system ? .
Delete or Disable any antivirus program on your computer ?
I will tell u the problem is your computer not the phone.
We could do this for hours.
