  • Why is the window for entering bookmarks so small? Is there any reason why it cannot be resizable so that users can expand it if necessary.

    I have a problem with the window size when entering bookmarks. I would like to expand the window so that I do not have to scroll down through the many folders I have.
    Is there any special reason why the window is a fixed size? As far as I can see there should not be any problem with having a window which users can expand if necessary.
    Thank you,
    Sasha

  • Is there any reason why my ipad has 2 bars lte and my iphone 5 cannot keep lte in the same room?

    I purchased my iphone 5 on release day and I purchased my ipad 3rd gen back about a year ago.  Both are on verizon service.  And both struggled at keeping an lte signal when i'm at work.  I work in a metal roof building and I assumed that this was the issue.  After several months I cancelled my service on the ipad.  Last week I decided to reactivate the ipad.  For some reason they decided to replace my sim card and gave me a new "phone number".  When I carried it to work, i've had 2 bars lte coverage constantly.  My iphone is still fluctuating from 3g to lte all the time.  Most of the time it is stuck on 3g. 
    Is it possible that replacing the lte sim card in the ipad helped it get a better signal?  It doesn't really make any sense to me.  Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

    Of course there is a way around it. You can select exactly the content that you want to have sync to your devoces in iTunes.
    My first suggestions is to turn off that stupid (IMO) feature that Apple insists on making default - auto syncing. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from Syncing Automatically. Click OK.
    Connect your device to the computer and now you will have to launch iTunes on your own. Select your iPad under the devices tab in the upper right corner or enable the sidebar by going to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu. Once you click on the iPad name, you should see the Summary Window on the right. At the top of the window all of the other iTunes tabs are arranged. Click on the apps tab and go through and deselect all of the apps that you don't want on the phone. Click on Apply in the lower right corner to apply the changes and sync the phone.

  • HT1178 is there any reason why I should turn on 5ghz or is 2.4 good enough? I have my mac wired and I have apple tv wireless 3 iPads 2 phones and 1 iPod.

    Not sure if 5ghz is better than 2.4? Im running 8 devices on my wireless at 2.4 just wondering if I should connect anything to the 5ghz. thank you

    If you have a simultaneous dual band AirPort router, then both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are always being broadcast at the same time.
    Wireless devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their wireless capability and distance in relation to the AirPort router.
    You really don't have to worry about any of this.  Just let your wireless devices decide on the best signal to use and it will all happen magically.....most of the time.

  • Is there a reason why this video won't load/play ?

    I use a Macbook OSX 10.4.11 and Safari 3.1.2 All apple updates installed.
    I want to watch this short football video but when the page loads all the vid screen shows is a black square for a second and then just white. There is no picture or sound at all. Now is it that the vid is not compatible with Safari/Mac or am I missing a plug-in ?
    Have Flash, Quicktime, realplayer andWin4Mac installed, do I need something else ?
    This is the vid link.

    Sorry, I got the name wrong in the original message, I have Flip4mac installed.
    I think that there must be some sort of conflict between the settings/preferences for the different players. I will have to swop and change and see what happens.

  • I use Winamp and now the latest Firefox, is there any reason why I should not uninstal Internet explorer and windows media player, please advise.

    OS WinXP Home, service pack 3

    If I may, I see that you are using xp, but since its support is finished, for security reasons I advise you to go under windows 7 (if your pc allows).
    Well, I say that, but it's up to you :)

  • Any reason why Quicken 2003 won't work on OSX 10.4?

    I need to install some version of Quicken on my mini, but don't want to purchase Quicken until they produce an Intel version. I just use it for checking. Am considering buying Quicken 2003 for mac on ebay. Will this work with OSX 10.4? Thanks,
    Owen

    Kappy,
    I marker this response as solved because I thought that what you said was correct. I just looked at the Quicken Support:
    https://quicken.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/quicken.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=4014&p_created=1137099411&p_sid=9RFCSgti&p_accessibility=0&p_lva =3793&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MSZwX3Byb2RzP Tk1LDU1MSZwX2NhdHM9JnBfcHY9Mi41NTEmcF9jdj0mcF9wYWdlPTEmcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1pbnRlb A**&p_li=&ptopview=1
    This is what it says:
    "Quicken for Mac is not a universal binary program and will not run natively on an Intel based Mac. All Intel based Macs come equipped with Rosetta software that enables non-universal binary programs to run on Intel Macs. There are no known issues specific to using Quicken 2006 and later on an Intel Mac with Rosetta."
    What is the source of your info? Thanks,
    Owen

  • My computer won't recognize my Iphone but it will recognize my Ipod

    I just got a new Iphone 4 and when I try and plug it into my computer nothing happens. No charging, no sound, nothing. It won't even show it being downloaded into the computer as a USB device! But when I put in my ipod it will recognize it and it will work just fine! I can't be the USB or Iphone because if I plug it up to any other computer it's just fine and works how it's suppose to.

    I'm having the same issues with my brand new iphone 5.

  • My computer won't recognize my iPhone

    I went through the provided troubleshooting on the support site and everything seemed normal. But I then realized that the apple mobile USB driver is not showing up in the device manager.
    I tried the suggested fix and nothing is showing up.. no iphone, camera..not even an unknown device. Attached is an image of the pop-ups I get when i try to plug in my phone.
    I also just downloaded and updated the newest version of itunes.. so I would assume anything to do with drivers would have been included in that bundle.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I really want to back up my phone before I purchase a newer model.

    randers4, I followed those steps as well but not even an unknown device was showing up in the manager. absolutely nothing was.
    I checked for updates as well. I did everything I could possibly think of and almost brought it in to a nearby apple store.
    After browsing a few other sites, I saw that other people with the same issue as me went through all the same steps and ultimately found out that they had a faulty cable that was preventing the computer from recogizing the device.. I've had my cable for a couple years so I figured I have nothing else to lose and bought a new one. And, thankfully, that did the trick. Finally got it to sync.
    Thank you both for your help, though!

  • Is there any way to get my MBP to recognize my iPhone 1?

    I'm just curious if I'm able to access the phone at all. The screen is pretty messed up, so I can't see anything. I just wanted to see if I could pull any old pics or something off of it. Thanks

    You buy one and only one download.
    You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.
