My 3GS 32gb Iphone has just started cutting out even when battery is almost charged - I have to charge it for a short time to prompt it back into action - I now have to watch apps with the charger connected no problems then?

I have just started getting a problem with my 17 month old 3GS 32gb Iphone (no heavy use) in the sense that it keeps randomly cutting out and it requires a short boost charge to get it started again even when the battery is charged between 70 to 90%.
Any suggestions?

My iPhone has just started getting the time wrong

My iPhone has just started getting the time wrong. Whether I have 'set automatically' on or off, it still sets the clock and hour ahead of the real time. If I reset it correctly, within 10m it has incorrectly reset it. It is amazingly frustrating!

Hello justveils,
It sounds like you are not able to erase just one letter when backspacing. I recommend following steps in the tutorial below to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPhone" because it's not related to this issue). I think the step to reset your iPhone my be particularly useful in this scenario:
To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My powerbook g4 (about 6 years old) has just started freezing up--mostly when in Apple Mail, but not always. Any ideas?

My powerbook g4 (about 6 years old) has just started freezing up--mostly when I'm in Apple Mail, but not always. I have been restarting and it seems to work fine. Any ideas what it might be? I just repaired permissions.

Yes, it has been running slow. If I do that will it erase what is stored on the hard drive?

Tom wants you to run Disk Utility from the install disc and then select your boot volume and then click "Repair Disk" to check and correct any directory problems. That will not erase any data files on the disc. If Disk Utility actually makes repairs, do another "Repair Disk" operation, as sometimes one repair will uncover another error. Stop when it gives the volume a clean bill of health without making any repairs. Then restart the machine and see how things work.

My snap chat app has just started to close down when I open it. WHY?

snap chat has just stopped working. the app closes down when i open it. why?

Hello tomivie,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are having some unexpected behavior from this app you got from the app store.
I would recommend the troubleshooting in this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
You can setup apps to update automatically in Settings > iTunes & App Store, but make sure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the app updates.
Note: Some apps may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You can also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
4. Restart the app
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app.
5. Restart your device
Turn the device off and on.
6. Reinstall the affected app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it:
Tap and hold any app icon on the Home Screen until the icons start to wiggle and show a small "x" in the top-right corner of the app.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to delete.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your device.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store.
Search for the app and then download it again.
Note: If it is a paid app, ensure you are using the iTunes account you purchased the app with originally. If it is not, you may be asked to purchase the app again. Learn more about downloading previously purchased items.
7. If the issue is still unresolved, contact the developer
If you continue to experience the issue, contact the developer of the app for further assistance:
Find the app in the App Store.
Open the app's page, tap Reviews, and then App Support.
All the very best,
Sterling

Does anyone know if MOV or MP4 files from the JVC GY-HM150U will work with the Camera Connection Kit and then be readable by iMovie or similar apps?

The JVC GY-HM150U camera and others in it's line say they offer recording in two different formats:
Native .MOV format
Fastest HD shoot to edit workflow. Edit immediately on Final Cut Pro™ or Premiere™ without conversion or transcoding
Native .MP4(XDCAM-EX™) format
Native File Recording
Because it uses QuickTime™ as its native file format, the GY-HM150U is the perfect choice for users of Apple's Final Cut Pro™ editing system. Both HD and SD MOV files recorded by the camcorder can be dropped directly into Final Cut Pro™, keeping them first-generation and eliminating the time-consuming process of file conversion.For users of all major NLE systems, including solutions from Adobe, Avid, Grass Valley, Vegas and Apple, the GY-HM150U supports the MP4 file format, which can be brought into your editing system without re-encoding.

and the files recorded to folders labeled "CQAV" (.MOV) or "BPAV" (.MP4), respectively, located in /PRIVATE/JVC/ off the root.
So will the Camera Connection Kit see them properly and transfer them over to Photos, and then will iMovie be able to handle them? Or is the CCK restricted to only formats derived from DSLR cameras with "DCIM" folders, as I have heard?
Any knowledge, especially first hand testing, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David

Changes made to correct the recorded file paths.

Excuse the late post but just wondering if you came up with a solution for this problem? I experienced the exact same issue but copying the movies from Aperture into iTunes (which worked) still didn't allow them to be played on the iPad. As they had played faultlessly when imported directly from the camera connection kit!

TS1398 My iPhone has just started to not allow me to connect to more than one wi-fi connection, i need to reset network settings every time i want to use the wi fi somewhere different, how do i fix??

Why will my iPhone no longer allow me to connect to multiple wi-fi, i have reset network setting and tried turning phone off and on?

Found this & it worked... at least to get my Wi-Fi no longer greyed out:
Settings > Airplane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power on
Settings > Airplane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
Now if only my phone would find my Wi-Fi network & connect to it....

IPhone has just stopped working out of warranty

I've had my iPhone for 18months now and it has all of a sudden stopped working, if I try to turn it on all it does is display the apple logo and white coded writing along the top of the screen, which leads onto my first question 1) has anyone ever had this fault and do they know what the fault is or cause ? I took it to apple and they said there was nothing they can do see your network provider which I did and they told me that apple have to deal with it as they are not allowed to do anything with iPhones, even if they are under warranty apple only allow themselves to replace or repair the phone. I'd like to know if anyone has been in a similar situation and if they have been able to get a replacement for an iPhone out of warranty ?

The warranty is the warranty and 6 months outside .You always had the choice of purchasing AppleCare ( +if available)
If Apple have already rejected the iPhone for warranty ,that is probably it

I have been using Pages for a short time (5 documents so far) I just got a new iPad2 and wondered how you get them to appear from my iMac onto my Ipad2 using iCloud?

thanks!

Apple has not updated the desktop versions of the iWork apps to use iCloud. Until they do you have to use iCloud.com in a web browser or iTunes to sync files. You could also try e-mail or DropBox.

I always imported my SD cards into iPhoto. Now it doesn't work with the cards from my new Nikon D7100 camera. What to do?

I have an iMac OS x 10.6.8 and always used iPhoto with good success, importing images including RAW format from my Nikon D40 into iPhoto. Since I bought a new Nikon D7100 camera I cannot upload the RAW images from its SC cards. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

Apple occasionally releases software updates to include RAW formats for newer cameras, but apparently, OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard (assuming the OS shown in your profile is indeed the one you're using) does not support the Nikon D7100 RAW format:
Mac OS X v10.6: Supported digital camera RAW formats
Upgrading to at least OS X 10.7 Lion would apparently fix that problem.
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06
Same for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats
If your iMac can run it OS X Mavericks: System Requirements, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is a free download upgrade, and it also supports the Nikon D7100 RAW format: OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats

Have downloaded a driver for my printer ( Canon Pixma ip 4000) from suggestions on this page. It works up to the point of printing but then nothing happens. Can anyone help?

Have downloaded drive from my printer ( Canon Pixma ip4000) to my new macbook air. Used a driver as suggested in previous correspondence in this support group. It downloaded but it does everything up to the point of printing then it stops. Any suggestions?

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

My iPhone has suddenly started sending texts from email address. Any ideas on how to fix?

Hi my iPhone has just started sending texts from email account. This only happens when the text is sent to other iPhone users. Weirdly it jumps between normal text address and back to email. Any ideas?

When I turn iMessage off, it sends from my phone number. When I turn it back on and check the caller ID, it has my phone number checked, however, when I start texting again, people are still receiving the messages from my email. Any advice?

Hi, Arimor1.
I hate being the bearer of bad news but a quick search on Google indicates that the UK iTunes Store is not doing business with the self-governing Bailiwicks that comprise the Channel Islands.
For what it's worth, one fellow says he's discovered a workaround .

Hello.I have purchased a black 32gb iPhone 4 just two days back.Yesterday while putting my phone on charge,I noticed a deep thin scratch on the antenna in a straight line starting from the charging point to the speakers.Is it a manufacturing fault?

Hello.I have purchased a black 32gb iPhone 4 just two days back.Yesterday while putting my phone on charge,I noticed a deep thin scratch on the antenna in a straight line starting from the charging point to the speakers.Is it a manufacturing fault?The scratch is quiet strange.It's a thin straight line,which I initially mistook to be a design.Can anyone tell me what it is?

All warranty issues including manufacturing defects, are determined and handled by the Apple Genius. If your iPhone has any problem, contact Apple and they will solve the issue.
"deep thin scratch on the antenna in a straight line starting from the charging point to the speakers"..... The only thing between the charging port and the speakers is a small screw on both sides of the port?

Can charge my iphone 4 with the USB connected to a pc but cannot charge my iphone4 with wall charge

Why ca I charge my iphone 4 with the USB connected to a pc but cannot charge my iphone 4 with wall charge?

If it charges when connected to a computer USB, it can't be the phone. Try a different cable.

If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware issue.
