  • I have a 3gs and just upgraded to ios5 but cannot send/receive mms

    Hi all.
    I just got a new 3gs and upgraded it to ios5.  It works great, but I cannot send or receive mms. The camera button that shows up when sending a message is grayed out and I cannot touch it.  I don't know what to do in order to fix this issue.
    Thanks

  • Help! I've just upgraded to iOS5 and lost all my contacts, app, music etc.

    For the past few years I've known I need to upgrade to a new mac. My old one was a old mac mini (pre Intel).
    So I just bought a new mac mini and tried connecting my iPhone to it.
    I allowed it to do the upgrade to iOS5 (my old mac wouldn't allow me to upgrade and it can't even upgrade iTunes).
    As soon as it upgraded I realised I've lost everything!
    Not a problem I thought - I can retrieve the backup from the old mac. However, when I plug in the iPhone to the old mac I get a message that this is a newer version of iOS and therefore iTunes needs to be upgraded. But I haven't been able to upgrade iTunes on the old mac for a few years.
    So iTunes won't even acknowledge that there is an iPhone plugged in to it.
    Looking on forums people say just connect to iCloud and all your contacts will be there. I don't have an iCloud account - there was no such thing as iCloud on my old mac.
    This really is awful.

    A quick update : The iPhone wasn't actaully mine - it was my girlfriends. She is now furious at me for losing all her data. I managed to recover some of the contacts by copying them across from the SIM but it appears that the most important thing was an app - a password keeper that held all the information for accessing all of our bank accounts.
    There must be somethng I can do?

  • I just downloaded Firefox 4 but there is no "connection scale" on the right hand bottom of the screen and no icons on the top left of the screen like a "home" for home page etc. top

    On the old Firefox 3.0 I had a 'connection scale" on the bottom right hand corner (just above the time) which shows you the extent of connection. I also had icons on the top left hand corner of a 'home' for home page...etc. On Firefox.4.0 these are missing. Can they be obtained by the "settings"?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "connection scale". If you are referring to the padlock, this has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
    The Home button by default has been moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar, you can move it back. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
    If any buttons are missing, you can restore them as shown here - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

  • I have upgraded to ios5 but can't get wifi sync to work.

    I have just upgraded to iOS5 but cant get wifi sync to work.  The main itunes library is hosted on my imac.  The message on the ipad (and iphone) is that it is waiting on my imac to be available but the imac is on and connected to the same network as the ipad.  Is there something I need to do on the imac to get it to communicate with the ipad?

    From the iOS 5 manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) :
    Set up wireless  iTunes syncing: Connect iPad to your computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable. In iTunes, turn on “Sync over Wi-Fi connection” in the device’s Summary pane.
    When Wi-Fi syncing is turned on, iPad automatically syncs every day. iPad must be connected to a power source, both iPad and your computer must be on the same wireless network, and iTunes must be open on the computer. For more information, see “iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.”

    You can't do it without a computer, although once you get ios5 that necessity will be gone. I would recommend taking it into the apple store. They will do it for you.

  • I just updated to ios5 but now can't sync because it's telling me my "other" section in the overview has grown to 10.2gig?!  What does that "other" section in the overview include and how can I reduce it to get my phone to sync??

    Thanks for the help.  The restore seems to have solved the problem.  I had a bit of a panic attack when things started going haywire and the Apple 'Support' told me to call back during business hours!

    I just upgraded to ios5 and all my contacts disappeared from my phone.  How to get back ?

    Are you saying that you had all your music safely stored in itunes and now it's all gone?  You might try getting back the itunes folder that contains all your music (you haven't told us what kind of computer you're using) from a computer backup, say from a day ago.  If using a mac, look in Time Machine, in the music folder for your account.
