Is there a way to still get audible alerts of new messages without having any banners or text appear in the lock screen?
I'm trying to make sure I am doing this correctly. How do you set up alerts for both text messages and iMessages so that even when the phone is locked you will still get an audible or vibration alert as soon as the message is received? And is there a way to do this without having any text appear on the lock screen that shows who the message is from. My phone stays in locked mode most of the time but I still want to recieve alerts for new messages as soon as they arrive. I'm also concerned about privacy so I don't want any text or preview or even any information about the sender to appear on the lock screen. I just want a vibration or audible alert.
Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

If your email provider supports Push email, then you will get audible email notifications automatically. Otherwise, email is only checked when you open the email app.
If you have Fetch New Data set to automatically check every 15, 30, or 60 minutes then you will also get the tone when the system checks for mail and finds mail available. If you set Fetch New Data to Manually then you will only get the email checked when you open the Mail app. -

My old computer is broken... is ther a way to sync my phone to my new one without loosing all my music?

You can either transfer the purchases to the new computer, or you can set the iPhone to manual mode and add the new songs while keeping the old. The article will go over how to do both options.
As far as I am aware an iPhone that has been associated with one library cannot be assoicated with a new one without iTunes wanting to erase and reload content from the local library. This normally means the loss of non-store purchases unless they are recovered first with third party tools. Setting the device to manual management on anything other than the "current" home library of the device will trigger the deletion of content.

After upgrading the iPhone 4 to iOS5, the camera icon doesn't appear on the lock screen. How do I get that? I've already tried restoring...
My photostream doesn't sync to my Mac Air either...And to continue the help:
The User Guide is available at http://support.apple.com/manuals/ or downloadable from iTunes as an iBook. -

I am unfamiliar with the recovery manager. Here are two guesses.
-- Is system profiler around? It will tell you your serial number.
Report system info
Blue apple > about this Mac
click on more info
click on hardware
You serial number will appear after Boot ROM. Do not copy hear.
--- The newer machines include a recovery partition. Perhaps looking around recovery manager would reveal something.

Is there a way I can get pictures from my iPhone 5 to my home PC, which runs Windows XP? iCloud is not supported for XP, only Vista and 7. Can anyone out there tell me how to move photos from my iPhone to my PC? Thank you.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Then put the photos in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

Is there a way to have a audible alert for when a mms fails to send?
Pretty much the thread title. I want to know if there is a way for a better alert then just a little red "!" next to the text and on the mms app button. To many times I have tried to send a text then turn the screen off or slip the phone back into my pocket only to get a message awhile later from the person I was trying to text asking why I never replied then I see that lame excuse for a failed message alert. This is getting really old. Also why doesnt it auto-retry to send a failed message?
No such functionality currently exists.

I lost all my music from Itunes, most of it I still had on CD's etc but my previously purchased music was erased, is there a way of getting it back without having to buy it again?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Your music should be there.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases
In the U.S you can redownload past purchases: Open itunes store, click Purchasd, under Quick Links -
Is there a way to sync an iphone to a computer that has a new hard drive without losing all the songs, apps, contacts, etc? The computer has iTunes downloaded, but no device has ever been synched to it. Sorry if this has been posted before, but if anyone could point me to the steps that I need to take it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your quick response...we don't have a copy of the old computer...Hard drive died one morning, I now have learned the hard way that what we did was really dumb, and am backing everything up . We were told that if we synched it with a computer that didn't have a library yet it would be ok?
The procedures that I have been able to get online:
1. Go to Itunes library without phone connected
2. disable automatic synching for iphone
3. Connect iphone, back up
4. then synch

Is there a way to create a list in a new sheet based on a value within an entry on the first sheet?
I have a list of DVDs in one sheet which are categorised etc. as well as having true/false checkboxes to mark whether they have been watched.
Is there a way of populating a second sheet only with the rows that are marked "FALSE" in the "Watched" column?Yes, but you migth find it just as efficient to filter the first table to show only rows where the checkbox is unchecked.
Here's a method for showing the list on a second table (whih may be placed o a second sheet).
Add an Index column ( C ) to the Data table.
C2, and filled down: =IF(B=FALSE,COUNTIF($B$2:B2,FALSE),"")
The second table, Not Watched, uses the formula below to retrieve the titles of the indexed (ie. not watched) DVDs.
A2, and filled down: =IF(ROW()-1>MAX(Data :: $C),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Data :: $C,Data :: $A))
Th IF part at the beginning acts as a switch to stop LOOKUP when the last unread title has been retrieved.

Is there a way to mass/multi delete photos in all messages without deleteing the message
i have iOS 7, iPhone 4s and Mavericks.
i know i can tap and hold on the photo and the "more" option appears, then flip through the conversation and select individual messages to delete within that conversaion. but i have so many ongoing texts that i dont want to delete, and most have many photos within the message that go months back that i dont need. i dont want to delete the entire conversation but i dont need the photos embedded in the message. im tired of deleting photos from the message as soon as i read or sent a photo text. is there an option in the phone or an app that will mass delete embedded photos within all texts. either iphone or mac app would work... or a script... anything! i would even be happy with selecting all phones to delete across all messages the way the camera roll allows you to delete. its seems like an obvious option.
thanksOpen the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

Just got a 27'' AOC monitor that I'm using with my Macbook Air (purchased in 2013). It's working great but as soon as I unplug the power adapter from my laptop the monitor goes black and says 'no signal'. I've been reading online that you need to have the power adapter plugged in to use an external monitor - my questions are: 1) does that harm the laptop's batter? if so, 2) is there a workaround? if there is no workaround, 3) does an Apple monitor also require that a laptop be plugged in for the external display to continue functioning while the laptop is in clamshell mode (closed lid)?
Thanks in advance for any adviceThanks, Matt. In my case, the monitor definitely shuts off when I unplug the power from my laptop in clamshell mode. If the lid is open, however, the monitor continues to function even without the power adapter plugged into my laptop. Ideally, I'd like to have the lid closed on my laptop and be able to use the external monitor without having the power plugged into my laptop. That's what doesn't seem to work - if your does, please let me know if you have any pointers.
Thanks again! -
