  • I am facing difficulty sync my iPhone 5 to my macbook pro; It is not responding. How can I fix this?

    My Iphone 5 and my IPad suddenly started facing problem syncung with the Mac book Pro; I think this is after the last update. I used to get the update over the cloud, meaning of I purchase on my ipad, I will find it over my iphone. That has stopped. That is not even my concern now. My concern is, when I attach the cable from my labtop to my computer, it sis acting up. Could it be a faulty cable? i tunes is not registering, and the entire program spins, without end.
    Your support is appreciated.

    That adaptor should work.

    try to reboot your ipod, to do this hold the power button for 5 seconds, continue to hold the power button and press the home button for 10 seconds (at about 8 seconds the ipod will turn off ignore that) after that realease the buttons and your ipod should return to normal. (this working on my ipod 4g when it went green screen) hope it works!!

    When I print on photo paper it only prints in black and white. How can I fix this?

    Does it print correctly on plain paper?
    What do you do differently to print on Photo Paper than to print on plain paper?
    iPhoto has no idea of what paper is being printed - that is totally a function of the printer and the print driver supplied with the printer - you need to look at the printer specific options and your printer manual and/or support forums

  • My ical works ok except when I open the month of March 2013 it crashes/closes. All other month work, even into the future. How can I fix this?

    My ical on ipad 3 works fine except when I open the month of March 2013 it crashes/closes down immediately. All other months work, even into the future. Even Feb and April etc. in 2013. How can I fix?

    I understand it's a glitch. If you have any events on april 1 2012 i believe,t hat's an all day app, delete it or make it for just a period of time, not all day.
    I think it has something to do with daylight savings time (but don't quote me on that) with the conflict betwen 'all day' and the ipad trying to figure out how long 'all day' is with that whole spring forward and lose an hour. removing any 'all day' appointments seem to remove that conflict.

  • Websites read my macbook pro as a mobile device. How do I fix this?

    This has been going on for as long as I've had my Macbook Pro (May 2011)--AND since before I recently updated my operating system to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. It's getting really annoying. It used to be that just the MGM Resorts properties in Las Vegas read my laptop as a mobile device, but now other websites are starting to do so as well. How do I make these websites understand that I'm using a laptop and want to view their full websites, not the mobile version?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • My MacBook Pro is running rather slowly. How do I fix this?

    Hi everyone,
    Over the past one month or so, my MacBook Pro has been running a little slow; in fact, it even freezes sometimes and certain application shut down by themselves. This is the very reason why I switched from Windows to Mac. How can I deal with ths issue and fix my computer's performance. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you and have a nice day.

  • Iphone 3gs is stuck on a white screen.how do i fix this?

    all of the reset instructions have been tried and failed. i cannot get the phone to power off and re-start. i'm afraid to put it in sleep mode like i do every night. i might be able to get it to wake up. this happened before i updated,so i thought maybe the update would fix the problem. it didn't. i have searched the web and i have tried all of the things people have posted and nothing has worked. not even apple's re-set instructions will work. this phone will not power off. help!

    anyone else have a suggestion? i can't put my phone in sleep mode (i might not get it back) and i can't turn it off (it just won't turn off). i do have to constantly charge the battery because i can't put the phone in standby mode,so the screen is always constantly on. this is so frustrating.

  • Horizontal blue lines are appearing on white screens.  Can I fix this?

    Horizontal Blue lines are appearing on my screen whenever the background is white.  Is this something I can fix?

    Hello Eliza,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your display on your MacBook Pro.  I definitely understand your concern with this.
    I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to an external display.  I recommend reviewing the full article, but this step specifically stands out to me:
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
    You can find the full article here:
