Is there a fix for the freak bug for us poor users of ios 7.1.2
The silence from Apple is deafening, does anybody know if Apple have any plans to roll out a patch for ios 7.1.2 ?

25% of us are running iOS 6 & iOS 7. A lot of people still run Android 4.0-4.4. Same for Windows Vista & 7. And Firefox/Chrome/IE still receive updates for all those platforms. But for iOS, not only is the latest (8.2) the greatest, it's the only game in town. If I had known that in 2011, I would not have purchased my iPad & iPhone. Apple needs to step up and offer security support for those folks (early adopters) who got them here today.
For Android the patch is in the hands of the carriers and device makers.
Millions of users still run Windows XP and currently there is no plans for a patch
The Chrome browser is not affected but the mobile browser on Android is. The company said Tuesday that it has developed a patch for the Android operating system’s browser and has provided it to “partners,” meaning the companies that make most Android devices. It will be up to those companies to deploy it. Security experts have long complained that crucial updates can take months – or never arrive at all – because Google does not control the process of delivering patches to devices running Android.
As you can see, this isn't only Apple that does not immediately (if ever) patch no longer supported versions of their software.

Is there a fix to the scrolling bug in Dreamweaver on Surface Pro 3?
On my SP3 with the latest update of Dreamweaver CC I experience the code window merging lines over each other when scrolling. This is hard to explain but say I pull the scroll bar down the lines of code appear to stay where they are but the line numbers move as expected. This results in say line 30 displaying the contents of line 1. Does that make any sense when reading...??!? Anyway it is more than infuriating! To get over this it sometimes helps to select the text in the window - but not a fullproof solution as it doesn't always work. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.OK, here goes. Dreamweaver is currently not enabled to support touch devices.
There isn't much that I can share at this moment except that we have registered this request and are looking towards addressing it in the future.
Until then, we request you to continue using Dreamweaver similar to how you have been using it previously on your desktop.
Also feel free to use the Ideas section on this forum to post your request and canvass for it.
Thanks,

Fix for iMessage banner notifications in iOS 8.1 freezing the keyboard or touch responsiveness?
Is there a fix for iMessage banner notifications in iOS 8.1 freezing the keyboard, and making the phone non-responsive while receiving messages?
I have a Verizon iPhone 6 - 128gb Space Gray
While I'm receiving banner notifications for iMessage, my phone will lock up until the notification banner clears. If I'm in the middle of typing, the keyboard will lock up and then resume back to normal once the banner goes away. No matter what task I'm doing with the iPhone, it will freeze up until the notification goes away. The touch screen becomes unresponsive. To be clear, the banner notifications are not freezing themselves. They go away on their own. But while they come in, it renders the phone useless for that 3 second time frame.
The only temporary fix I've found for this issue is to turn off iMessage notifications all together, or just turn off banner notifications for iMessage. This has to be a software issue in 8.1 and needs to be resolved ASAP.
I've troubleshooted every known possibility.
* Reset network setting = Didn't work.
* Reset all settings = Didn't work.
* Wipe Phone completely and start as new (did not restore from back up) = Didn't work.
* Restore as new from iTunes (did not restore from back up) = Didn't work.
* Visited apple store and received a replacement = Didn't work.Jeez, the keyboard lags behind so much and the keys seem offset

Seriously, Stop the DUPLICATE Madness! Is there a fix for my duplicate songs on my iPad? Like really, I don't have time to drag and delete my songs. Does Apple really have a simple solution for this bug? It's been 5-months, I currently do not have quick access to a sync, I thought iMatch for Christmas would solve the problem but it appears that doesn't solve anything either....help please! If I listen to my kid's lula-bye song in duplicate for another night I'm going to seriously loose it on Little Boy Peep. Like really Apple do I need to call IN and pay for this problem?
The possible problem appears to me that songs that were previously loaded onto the iPad device from Mac were duplicated when I started to sync with iCloud. An album will contain one song from the iPad that was originally loaded on sync with Mac and another that will appear either with a little iCloud icon next to the song greyed out or a DUPLICATE song.
I had hoped iMatch would solve the issue magically, but that does not appear to be the case. -
Is there a fix for the bug where my BRAND NEW iphone 5S is locking up when I enable the magnifying glass to edit a text and it locks up!?
Try a reboot press & hold power button & menu until Apple Logo comes on then wait
you will not lose any data.
That may fix your problem.

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Since upgrading my iPhone 4 to the new ios6 software I can no longer access itunes through the itunes app. I there a fix for this yet?

Why would there be a fix? YOU are having the problem. I'm not, no one I know is having the problem. No fix is needed.
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Have you been through any, if not all of these troubleshooting steps yet? -

Every time I try to download anything firefox stops responding and will not do anything until I restart it. Can I revert back to a previous version, or is there a fix for it? When I restart firefox, then the download continues and all is well until I try to download something new (which I do quite often).
You may well find this article of interest and help in sorting out your problems: [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]] The article does contain a link for previous versions, but also points out other troubleshooting advice that may be more appropriate in some instances.
Another useful article is [[Basic Troubleshooting]]
I hope you sort out your problems either by downgrading or finding the cause of the problem. -

I dropped my iphone 4s (it had an otterbox-thick case on it at the time of drop) last night and the screen quickly went to different colored stripes then to black. The phone wouldn't work. This morning, I was pressing all the buttons I could-at the same time and the phone turned on with the battery completely depleted. At the time of the drop the phone had 98% charge. I plugged the phone in and began charging, however, the screen shakes. Is there a fix for the shaking of the screen? The phone works otherwise. Unfortunately, I don't have warranty on it and have only had the phone since November.
Obviously your phone was damaged by the fall. Take it in for evaluation, servicing and/or replacement at an Apple store or authorized service provider.
Since it is out of warranty you will, most likely, have to pay. -
After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.
The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update? -
I have just updated to Lion and now my folders no longer show number of items on the bottom. Is there a fix for this? I allways found that handy. Now I have to click on an icon on the top, This is a backward step if that is now the only way to see the number of items. Am I missing something obvious?

In the good old days of Snow Leopard, an open Finder folder had a border along the bottom of the window which could show the number of items in that window and the total available space on the hard disk or partition that folder resides on. That bottom border is gone in Lion and those two bits of information are gone with it. Is that what you're talking about? If so, I'd like to learn how to get it back too and "Show Item Info" is not the way. -
I've read about this being a common issue with the iPhone 4S, particularly with iOS 5.1.1. I spoke with someone at apple tech support and did a hard reset - no luck. She mentioned that replacing the phone was a possible solution but I'd rather use that as a last resort - I haven't heard the greatest things about turn around time with apple's warranty.
Is there a fix for this? The person on the other end (whether it's an outbound or an inbound call) can't hear me at all. I can hear everything fine. Speakerphone works fine. Facetime works fine. Checked my mute button, on/off/on/off, no luck. Checked all my settings and can't figure it out.
Any ideas?I ended up getting a new phone, straight through Apple. I called their technical support and went through all he basics again and they decided to replace it. Was a pretty quick process - after defaulting and resetting the whole phone (about 2 hours), I called them back to inform that there was no change, so they set up the order.
I had to give my CC# so they could hold a charge on it (in case I didn't send my old phone bach, which they sent me a pre-posted package to send it in anyway). Had a brand new iPhone 4S in my hands in 4 days, which was pretty decent. I had uploaded everything previously to iCloud, so setting up the new phone was a snap.
Only thing I really didn't like was they charged me almost 30 bucks for shipping or processing, or something. Not so sure that should have been my responsibility after spending so much on a brand new product, only to have to have it warrantied after, like, a month. -
Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?
I only use this 5th generation Shuffle when I run. I don't have headphone issues because I use running headphones meant to handle sweat. However, my Shuffle will, halfway through a song, go back to the beginning, play a few seconds and jump back to the beginning again. Also, when this starts happening, the Voice-over comes on again and again with no buttons being pushed. I keep the Shuffled clipped to the waistband of my running shorts, so it probably does get a little sweatty, but not like it would if it were clipped to the collar of my shirt!
Is this a problem I'm going to have to live with? I never had this issue with my old Shuffle, which was the first of the clip-on Sheffles.Hi punisherbv,
Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!
