My bluetooth has discovered my speakers but cannot connect till I take the headphones out, but there are no headphones connected what can i do
My Imac has discovered my wireless speakers but cannot connect because it ask me to remove my headphones which are not connected, can any one help?
Will you're iMac play music through the internal speakers or does it give you the same error?
I ask because most (all?) Macs these days use a combo optical analog jack for headphones which means that there's a tiny switch inside that can get stuck. I've never heard of a problem just like yours (which could be a bluetooth issue) but I have had similar issues on my wife's Macbook.
If you get the same error, or can't play music out of the internal speakers then try inserting re-inserting a headphone plug a few times. If you do a few Google searches you can find additional info.

Some sites(like youtube for instance) want me to update Safari but when I go to Software Update under the apple it says there are no updates. What do I do now?
Upgrade the computer’s OS, or switch to a product such as Firefox.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

iTunes match: my iPhone 4s shows my playlists, but there are no songs! What's up?
Normal Playlists should be working
Smart playlist should be working, but i got also some faulty PL on the played recents etc..
Smart playlists depending on other smart playlists don't work all the time.
ok I had my troubles aswell with this - during the holidays I reserved some time to rebuild my iphone from scratch. Just to clean it up after 1,5 years working and playing around with it. And suprrise surpise, playlists, songs, etc... all info on the iphone showed correctly and worked well!
So after rebuilding from scratch (took my a couple of hours) i can now start playing around with itunes match.
I know, its a lot of work, but i think my iphone structure was a bit messed up with all this playing around.
Perhaps this helps... -
My iPhone 4 shows the carrier name, I can go online with my data plan, but there are no bars and I can't make phone calls.
It worked for some time, less than a week, I made phone calls and all, and all of a sudden the problem mentioned above happened. Now I can't make any phone calls. I can go online with it, even with my Data plan, I can go to the app store (of course) but can't make any phone calls.
Please help, this is frustrating.Did you already try the troubleshooting mentioned here? http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/
Also try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple lo comes up again. You will not lose any data doing this.

just checked the settings ... they have been reset to never retain history.... previous history is still there...... settings reset to always retain history & history has begun to collect again.
Is there any way to get my history back?
why did it happen?
is it likely to happen again?History that is lost can't be retrieved, but if Firefox is currently keeping history then it should be fine for now.
You would need an older copy of the places.sqlite database file to get the lost history back.

One of my kids has an iphone 4, the other has an ipod. Bluetooth is ON for both, but they are not discovering each other. Are there any suggestions? (They bought a simple texting app so the ipod could text the iphone.) Thank you.
The built in BT profiles that iOS has do not include any kind of file sharing. Does the app say that it will text over BT? If so, then the connection would most likely be handled through the app itself. What is the name of this app?

I cannot install iTunes 10.5. Problem is that there are rest of installations. I uninstalled all iTunes, Quicktime, Bonjour, Apples components, but problem goes on. I run WIN XP SP 3 32 BITS. I accept ideas to solve, thanks.
A bit of repetition, mainly for the benefit of anyone else with the same issue. In your case the "for older video cards" version might be worth a try.
When cleaning folders you need to check both the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders, which you may well have done but didn't mention in the detail above.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if Apple Mobile Device Support won't install normally.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for performance issues or compatibility with third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

My Bluetooth has disappeared and I have tried just about everything on the internet. When I click on Bluetooth file exchange it says hardware not found. I tried resetting everything as well nothing is working for me please help because now my facetime doesn’t work neither does photo booth and now I cannot text people off my laptop unless they have iMessage.
If you followed the instructions in the support article exactly (leaving the machine off for two minutes), then it has a hardware fault. Take it to an Apple Store or other authorized service provider for repair.

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen. Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?
Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them. -
My iPad2 only has sound when the earphones are plugged in. The volume switch works then too, but not when I take the earphones out. Suggestions?
it's a hardware issue

iphone stuck in headset mode -
goodnight. as you know apple has evolved considerably until today but there are people who do not have ability to buy new products. in my case I would like to know why the apple do not let the iphone 3g update to iOS 4.3 as are several applications that can not put on my iphone 3g due to this reason. Why does not Apple make a repository with applications for ios 4.2.1? or else do not work in an update to ios 4.3 on iphone 3g?
This has nothing to do with Apple, as Apple does not make the apps.
This is the decision of the app maker.
Contact those app makers and ask them why they do this. -
