My Apple devices no longer share pictures

I discovered recently that when I take pictures with my New Ipad or with my Iphone 4S they no longer transfer them automatically among themselves in picture streaming. They have been doing that before. What could be the problem?

First find out which one is failing to add new photo to photo stream. To do this, take a new photo on your phone, then close the photo app and, while connected to wifi and with at least 20% battery life remaining, see if it appears in your my photo stream album inside the Photos app after a few minutes. Repeat this on your iPad.
If the photo fails to appear in your my photo stream album after a few minutes, it is not being added to photo stream. To fix this, you'll need to save your photo stream photos to the camera roll on this device (unless they are already there) by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud>Photo Stream, turn My Photo Stream to Off, then after a minute or so turn it back to On. Then take a new photo and see if it appears in your my photo stream album this time. If it does, it is now working. Repeat this process on each device that is not adding photos to photo stream.

Apple devices no longer link to BT webmail

I use seveal Apple devices to send and receive e-mail. Two weeks ago I was migrated to BTMail. (See earlier posting) Result - chaos! Long telephone calls to Apple and BT checked all setings as OK but eventually nothing worked properly. Three days later all e-mail services working fine!! Residual problem with Apple i-Cal. This lasted five days. Returning fron two days away - NOTHING WORKED. No settings had been altered and web mail still OK. All Apple devices are unable to connect to BT mail servers despite having all settings correct. More telephone calls. Result - Problem not solved after one hour (including waiting for connection) so now "escalated".
I'd be grateful for any ideas for a solution while I wait for a reply. Meantime I'm investigating Plusnet.

Hi Guys,
I've done a factory reset on the huband it doesn't seemed to have changed anything. My iPhone 5 still can't connect to it, I can't use the shortcut for the Seagate drive and the Hub no longer apppears as part of our home network when I look it up on my PC.
Below is a screen shot of the Hub Manager. Matt-PC is my laptop which is connected to the Hub via Wi-Fi. There are currently three Ethernet Cables plugged into the back of the Hub - the Seagate Drive, the TV and a BT Vision box.
Any other ideas?

I cannot open microsoft attechments on my apple devices any longer

Previous to the upgrade, I could open Word, Excel and .pdf documents on my iPhone 4s and iPad 3rd generation. I can no longer do this and it is quite an inconvenience. Emails are being sent to me in HTML format from Outlook - help!

You have to install the Facebook Messenger app from the App Store. They moved all messages to that system some time ago.

Poor network performance with Websockets running on apple device

I am working on an HTML/Javascript running on mobile devices that is communicating with a Qt/C++ application running on a PC. Both the mobile device and the PC are on a local network. The communication between the HTML page (client) and the C++ app (server) is done using Websockets.
The HTML page is a remote control for the C++ application, so it is needed to have a low latency connection between the mobile device and the PC.
When using any non-Apple device as a client, data is sent to a rate between 60 to 120 frames/sec, which is totally acceptable. When using an Apple device, this rate falls to 3-4 frames/sec. I also checked ping times (Websocket implementation, not a ping command from command line). They are acceptable (1-5 ms) for Apple devices as long as the device is not transmitting data. Whenever it transmits data, this ping time raises to 200ms.
Looking from the Javascript side, the Apple devices always send data at a consistent rate of 60 frames/sec, as any other devices do. However, on the server side, only 3 to 4 of these 60 frames are received when the client is an Apple device.
Does anyone have any idea on what can be happening?
Here is my Javascript code :
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        var wsUri = document.URL.replace("http", "ws");
        var output;
        var websocket;
        function init()
            output = document.getElementById("output");
            wsConnect();
        function wsConnect()
            console.log("Trying connection to " + wsUri);
            try
                output = document.getElementById("output");
                websocket = new WebSocket(wsUri);
                websocket.onopen = function(evt)
                        onOpen(evt)
                websocket.onclose = function(evt)
                        onClose(evt)
                websocket.onmessage = function(evt)
                        onMessage(evt)
                websocket.onerror = function(evt)
                        onError(evt)
            catch (e)
                console.log("Exception " + e.toString());
        function onOpen(evt)
            alert("Connected to " + wsUri);
        function onClose(evt)
            alert("Disconnected");
        function onMessage(evt)
            alert('Received message : ' + evt.data);
        function onError(evt)
            alert("Error : " + evt.toString());
        function doSend(message)
            websocket.send(message);
        window.addEventListener("load", init, false);
</script>
Data is sent from Javascript side using dosend() function.

What version of websocket is your server using? That is pretty much on the bleeding edge of things. It looks like you need to use RFC6455 and iOS6 and it should work fine.
Thanks for the post. I didn't know about websockets. Very interesting.

Share to Apple Devices just fails

Using FCPX 10.0.3, whenever I try to share a project with an Apple Device it opens the Share Monitor and then says "Failed" - how do I get it to work (shares with Compressor just fine)?

I have this problem too (as do others). I get a funny error message, and when you go into the log it says (amongst a lot of other stuff) this:
<log tms="350490911.925" tmt="02/09/2012 09:35:11.925" pid="52252" msg="CJobControllerServer::tickleService: we haven't heard from service (long list of numbers/letters edited out in case it's confidential!) for 3 sec. and connecting failed - the service is down.
I have no idea what a tickle service is...
However, it may still work. If you go into iTunes and import it manually from your shared folder in the project file, it might import. It works for me and they look perfect.

I have an app called cartoon HD on my iphone and this app is no longer available I am about to buy an ipad, if I back this up with the same Apple ID will it share the app to the iPad?

You can copy the app to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the phone to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - an actual backup (either on your computer's iTunes or to the cloud) doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content and settings, for a restore to work the app needs to be either in your computer's iTunes library (for and iTunes backup/restore) or still in the store (for an iCloud backup/restore). Or you could just sync the app from your computer's iTunes (which will only install the app, not any previous content)

How do I use the time capsule to share itunes music between multiple apple devices? Also, is it possible to control the music on one device using another, and how do you set this up?

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

I'm considering on making a new Apple ID as I currently share one. If I create a new one, will my Apple devices be wiped of content?

I share an Apple ID at the moment. I am considering making a new one for services such as iMessage and Facetime. If I create a new Apple ID will my Apple devices (iPhone, iPod Touch) be all wiped of my content? I know music and other iTunes content is tied to my old iTunes and that will be gone, but will my photos and text messages and apps be deleted as I would be using a new ID?

Nothing will be gone or wiped. Yes, your purchases remain tied to the existing AppleID, but you can create as many new AppleIDs as you wish (or at least, as you have email addresses for) and use a different one for each apple service.
So you can continue to use the current AppleID for the iTunes and App store, and create a new one for iCloud and iMessage (or even use a third one for iMessage if you wish to).
That is probably the optimal thing for a family or spouses - one shared AppleID for purchased content, separate AppleID(s) for iCloud/iMessage and other services (like these very forums).

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Hi Brett,
Thank you for your response.
Then why the message is shown as in the below image.

I would llike to place all my content in one location and view, use or share it on my Apple devices as needed. What would be the best way to set that arrangement up?

I would like to place all my content in one location and share and move it as needed to my various apple devices. What's the best way to do it?

Hi,
I would suggest that is going to be an involved and complex process.
I would personally look into some of the invoicing and time scheduling software available and see if any fit your needs.
Take a look here: http://www.tuaw.com/2008/07/30/app-roundup-timekeeping-and-billing/

Error message: "The share operation Apple Devices 1080p has failed"

Hey,
I have a MacBook Air, OS X version 10.9.3, running Mavericks, with 1.7 GHz and 8 GB memory. I'm running FCPX 10.0.8.
I've had no problems rendering and exporting all sorts of movies and short clips over the last few months, however every time I try to export my last clip, this message shows up after the clip is 10% done exporting: "The share operation Apple Devices 1080p has failed QuickTime Error: - 50"
I've already clicked on "prevent app nap" under Get Info for FCPX.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on, or can offer a solution to this?
Thanks so much!
Terra

Since you have already checked the Prevent App Nap box I assume you have seen this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21920134#21920134
Seems likely to me that either one of the files in your timeline is giving you trouble or a render in your timeline is giving you trouble. I sometimes randomly run in to export errors with transitions or titles. Sometimes removing the effect/title from the timeline, deleting the render files or copying and pasting the timeline in to a new project can fix it.

1st Generation Apple TV No Longer Appears as Device

Since the latest iTunes update, my Apple TV no longer appears as a device in iTunes on my Mac Pro even though it does on my MacBook despite both are completely up to date and are running on the same network (AirPort Extreme Dual Band) with EXACTLY the same network and firewall settings.
I have wiped and reinstalled the Apple TV SW and iTunes on the Mac to no avail. Since the Mac I use to host my Apple TV content is on my Mac Pro this is a problem.

I'm in the same boat. My Mac Pro iTunes does not show my AppleTV (1st Gen) in the devices, nor is there an AppleTV icon in the Preferences anymore. Here's the wierd thing... My MacBook Pro, on the same network, and same iTunes version, shows the AppleTV in Preferences. But not in devices because it is "tied" to my Mac Pro's iTunes.
Curious oddity....

We just added a new iPad Air to our family of 4 apple devices and I can not get it to join the automatic Photo Share with the other 3 devices. What have I overlooked in set up?

I added an iPad Air to our family of Apple devices a few weeks back and can not get it to participate in the auto Photo Share with the other 3 devices. My Mac, iPhone and first generation iPad share but the new device does not. ITunes sees all 4 devices but I can not get the new iPad and other 3 to share.
Any ideas what I may have overlooked in setup? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community TM7555.
