Lost phone but doesnt display it on phone locator , any ideas?

Is there any way to locate my phone when not on the network?

Hi, I've a 3GS and iPad (on 5.1.1) and Macbook (10.6.8) all connected to iCal on iCloud, but when I change an event on phone it doesnt update on iCloud/other devices - any ideas?

Hi,
I've an iPhone 3GS and iPad '1' (both on IOS 5.1.1) and Macbook (on 10.6.8) - all connect happily to my iCloud iCal (using the iCal app for iPhone/iPad and Firefox browser for access to my iCloud).
But ... when I change an event (add/delete) on my iPhone it doesnt update on the iCal on my iCloud, therefore neither on iCal on my iPad!
Yet if I change anything on my iCal iPad / iCal iCloud it updates/refreshes on the iPhone fine?
So - it clearly recognises/refreshes any updates but can't update the iCloud!
Any ideas?

If you're also having problems changing the account on your iOS devices, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

My phone's speakers only work sometimes. It started recently, and I just moved to Hawaii so I am at the beach alot. Could sand have something to do with this? Sometimes it is better when I plug in my headphones, but not all of the time. Any idea's?

Absolutely!
If you are taking your $500 electronic device to the beach, I recommend you get a case that completely seals the iPhone from the elements (ie. waterproof).

My Iphone5 power button seems to be permanently pressed. It will think that it is being held down even though I am not touching it and also turn the screen on when I am not touching it. Very hard to use the phone. Any ideas?

There is no rhyme or reason to when it does this. Sometimes, it will be fine for a few hours. Sometimes, I can't use the phone as it exists out of apps automatically and consistently comes up with the "slide to power off" screen. It's draining the battery. Apple replaced my screen a few months ago and the problems have only occured since then but they have got progressivly worse. Any ideas before I take it to the genuis bar and get told it's going to cost me an obsence amount of money to fix a problem I haven't caused? No water damage or droppage on the device either and I have a thick case on it. Case doesn't affect/help the problem as well.

Hi jemerrifield,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your external display being used with your Mac Pro is flickering along the top of the screen. I completely understand how this can be frustrating, especially for being a new computer. I would however like you to follow some troubleshooting steps that will also help determine if the issue is with the display you are using, cables, or the Mac Pro.

After upgrading my 3gs to ios5, I get 2 copies of pictures synced from my computer, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put the pictures in to put on the phone. Any ideas why?

When syncing pictures from my computer to my I-Phone I get 2 copies of the pictures, 1 in the Photo Library and another in a library with the same name as the folder I put pictures in to put on the phone. This started after I upgraded to ios5. I have tried re-installing I-Tunes. I have not reset the phone. My main concern is the amount of memory pictures take up on the phone. It's not a problem now but could be in the future. Any Ideas on why this happening?

It has always been this way. it was never different. This is how the iphone handles photos - always has.
There are NOT two copies, There are simply two ways to access the very same photos. All synced photos will ALWAYS be under Photo Library ( you can look at all photos at once this way or do a slideshow of all photos). Those very same photos can also be accessed from the individual folders so you can show or slideshow just that folder.
Just as a book can be in the library and in the fiction section, there is only one book/photo.

Hi! I've been using Goldmine contact management software for many years and syncing with Companion Link successfully, then ITunes to the IPhone. Suddenly, my IPhone is not recognized and won't sync. I see a message telling me to dock the phone? Any ideas?

Hi Ken,
Dennis here from westport. I too am a goldmine user for many years and would love to know how you sync.
I am looking at a product called wmobile, but may be problematic on my current system.
thanks for any help...

The movie will only be where you put it.
However,in some countries you can redownload some movies:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Our company recently has changed our DNS settings to our network which has resulted in many of our iPhone users not being able to access Outlook mail on their phones. Any ideas out there?

Our company has recently changed our DNS settings for our network mail server, and upgraded our SBS to 2010 Microsoft Exchange. Since that change, most of our iPhone users have not been able to acquire e-mail from our mail server. We have three exceptions are 3GS and 4 phones. Any ideas???

Speak to your exchange & DNS administrators at your company.
It is likely a configuration issue on the server/network side. Event/IIS logs are key on your SBS.

I have lost Boinx in Video Generator, Fotomagico is installed but can't access the plug-in, any ideas? Have reinstalled FCE to no avail.

I think the suggestion by JimHdk is fair simple. Most Internet services providing email offer a way to access email via a browser like Safari instead of using the Mail app. You start Safari, got to the webmail webpage, enter a user name and password and are provided with a list of waiting emails. You can read emails, reply to emails, delete emails and create new emails on those sites. This is a very common way for people who travel a lot and who encounter your problem, to access their emails.
If you don't know the website for your webmail contact your provider.

Looks like its fixed. I am syncing it now. A lot of the answers are for the new iphone so i had to mess with a bunch of settings as well. My old phone is now an 8 gig ipod. the books app no longer works and that *****.....but better than nothing...

TS1424 I purchased and downloaded a book in iBooks. I read about 16 chapters. The next time I opened the app to read the book, no words loaded on the pages. It would go to the table of contents, but not to pages in chapters. Any ideas?

Try to reset your phone, hold the home/sleep buttons until it reboots and the apple logo appears, don't release the buttons till apple logo appears. If no luck there, Resync the book. Or delete it and redownload it. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

TS1389 I've purchased an album through the itunes store and every track plays except one which continually asks me to authorise my computer. I've tried all the steps suggested above but still no joy. Anyone have any ideas what i can do next? Thanks Pa

Sounds like you have a "damaged track" or "damaged file".
This worked for me today downloading Kendrick Lamar's new Album "good kid, m.A.A.d city".
My situation: I bought the album today for my Mac, MacBook Pro, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S devices.
Issue: One song (only on my MacBook Pro) would not play, instead display "
EX: left"
Solution: 1. Manually delete the song (giving you the error) permantly from the authorized computer.
2. Open iTunes, Click iTunes Store (left sidebar), and locate Quick Links and then click Purchased to proceed.
3. Click "Not On This Computer", find the song that wouldn't play, and re-download it again.
4. Check your Music Library for your song (Should download inside the associated album) and hit play.
EX: (Song I purchased that wouldn't play because of authorization, playing)
Enjoy!

After upgrading to iOS 5, my iPhone 4 takes a very long time to open digitally signed emails. I've tried with the SMIME settings enabled, but that doesn't help either. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

I suspect you may have a corrupt photo or image that is causing the sync to fail or quit. You might want to try removing all of your photos by deselecting them in iTunes then sync - and try adding them by each sub-folders until you are able to nail down which sub-folder of photos, that causes the sync to stop or gives you errors.

I have a 2nd gen shuffle. i had to get a new computer and downloaded V11. my itunes works but i CANNOT sync to my shuffle. any ideas????

i have a 2nd gen shuffle. i had to get a new computer and downloaded V11. my itunes works but i CANNOT sync to my shuffle. any ideas????

The latest iTunes may hide the sidebar by default. To show the sidebar, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
With the sidebar visible on the left side of the iTunes window, when you connect the shuffle, does it appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
Since this is a 2nd gen shuffle, are you using the original USB cable that came with the shuffle, with the mini-dock at the shuffle end? A USB cable that is for the 3rd or 4th gen shuffle will not work; the connector is different.
