  • My old Apple ID keeps coming up when I am trying to update my apps.  When I go to settings, it shows my updated id.  How can I fix?

    My old Apple ID keeps coming up when I am trying to update my apps on both the iPhone and iPad.  When I check the settings on each devices, it shows the new id.

    Apps and other stuff you download are always linked to the ID you used to download.  You need to update the app with the ID that you used to download the app in the first place and the password for that ID

  • TS1630 My iphone4 speakers will only work when I receive a call or factime, but for nothing else. Why?

    My Speakers on my iphone4 will only work when I receive a call or facetime, and are muffled when an alarm goes off. Other than that, I have absolutely no sound from anything- text, music, videos, games, etc. UNLESS I use headphone. My phone will vibrate with text messages, though. When I try to turn up the volume on the side, it doesn't register any bars- the space for the volume boxes is blank. Also, there is no volume bar in my music when I try to turn up the volume. I have tried restarting my phone numerous times, I have also checked and rechecked the switch on the side to no avail. Does anyone have any troubleshooting ideas or know what might cause this?

    I tried this and noticed a little green inside the charging port. I panicked thinking it was corrupt, but found out if you lighting moisten the toothbrush with alcohol and gently scrub (with the power off) you can remove the green. I started inspecting one of our charging adapters, which had been giving us trouble, and it was very green inside. Not sure if it can transfer from one to the other?
    BUT now I have sound! Thanks for your suggestion, it helped!

  • HT1222 Why won't my Apple PW work when I'm trying to update iOS? Plz help!

    Hello~
    I am trying to update from iOS 7.1 to iOS 7.1.1.  When I enter my Apple PW, (the PW I used to log on to this site) it says it's invalid. What I'm I missing? I really have no other ideas as to what PW's it could be asking for. Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

    Since the update verifies you by your Apple ID, it needs the password that is associated with your apple ID (which may be different from the password you use here with your user name). So, you need to use the password you use to purchase apps, music, etc.

  • My account number and password will not delete when I log out from web site MF Global (which is a futures trading account)

    MF Global (formerly Lind-Waldock) is a futures/0ptions company that I trade on from time to time. I have logged on my account number and password but when I log out and close the MF Global window and close Firefox the account number and password remain. When I log in to MF Global again my account is still open. This disturbing because a considerable amount of $$$ are involved. I had MF Global's tech department try to cancel the account and password and they couldn't do it. This does not occur on Safari! MF Global suggested it must be locked only on Firefox. Can you help right away??? Thank you. ''[Personal information removed by moderator. Please read [[Forum and chat rules and guidelines]], thanks.]''

  • HT201210 I lost most of my music & my apple password is not being recognised.  I tried to restore to a previous backup to no avail.  Using Iphone 3 - help

    Please help!!!
    I finally downloaded the new changes to ITunes.  I am on Windows 8 & have an Iphone 3.
    What happened was that I lost all my music & tones.
    I used the laptop to go back to my last backup to restore only to find that it would not restore my music.  Also, fb is not downloading as an ap anymore.
    Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this please.

    Facebook requires iOS 4.3 or 5.0 or higher, neither of which the iPhone 3G is capable of running.
    To get the media back on the new computer, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    FYI backups do not include media or apps. The media and apps must be in the iTunes library on the computer.

  • Q10 will not connect with BB Link via WiFi (updated software)

    Hello!  I have not been able to get my Q10 to connect to BB Link via WiFi since the lastest OS update.  Before, it was not an issue.  I can connect via USB without problems.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled BB Link on my computer and it does not work even though both the PC and the device are connected to the same WiFi network.  The checkbox in BB Link to allow WiFi connections is checked.  It is not the end because I can at least connect via USB, but wireless was so convenient.  Can anyone help? Suggestions? Thanks!

    OK, just messing around with this more tonight.  I was able to finally just get the iPod touch to connect to my phone via WIFI.
    My question or concern still remains about the Bluetooth connection.,,,
    Why is it that she can connect to my Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 5 even when I have the Personal Hotspot on my phone set to OFF? 
    Is this working as designed?  Even if I change my phone's Personal Hotspot password, she can still instantly connect even if I have it set to OFF on my phone.  You'd think that it would require for me to have it set to ON?  Or at minimum, if I changed the Personal Hotspot password on my phone, it would at least prompt her to enter a valid password?
    Thanks!

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 - earlier systems don't show the iCloud preference pane. If you want to use iCloud you will have to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion (assuming your computer meets their requirements) but even so you won't be able to publish web pages to iCloud because it does not provide web hosting. This page examines that situation in more detail:
