    I have synced my IPhone 3GS to the newest iTunes version to get IMessage, it worked for a while but now it doesn't work and I have tried resyncing my phone but it still doesn't work. what should I do?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

  • Whenever I open the browser, it immediately minimizes and I have to click in the corner to get the full screen. How can I change this?

    The browser opens, then immediately minimizes to about 1/4 screen size. I have to click the corner box to maximize to full screen. It stays that way until I close it. But it happens every time I open it.

    Sorry you did not receive an understandable solution. First of all try rrcovering from the situation using Firefox's '''[[safe mode]]''' try that and post back with ow you get on. This is the easy option from the link in ''cor-el'' 's post, if it does not work you may have to try the hard version !
    Try to start firefox in [[safe mode]]
    # either hold the shift key when starting firefox or <br/> use '''Firefox Button -> Help -> Restart with Add-ons disabled'''
    # does it start in safe mode ok ? <br/> do you see the safe mode options as shown in the [https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/93cafd5e0e8bef77b66875863ae7f197-1259888532-113-1.png screen-shot] ?<br/> NOTE you will loose some toolbar customisation when you proceed to the last step
    # unlikely, but you may even see the problem is solved whilst at this stage and in safe mode, if so please mention this, it is a pointer as to what the problem is.
    # click on the option checkbox ''' -> [] Reset toolbars and controls'''

  • A box appears around the apps i am trying to click on and i cant scroll. I have to click about ten times for the app to work

    A box appears around the apps I am trying to click on and I can't scroll. I have to click many times for the app to work.

    Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on' - if you turn the volume up do you get a voice saying what you are tapping ? If you do then try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

  • Why do I have to click mouse multiple times to get a response? it doesn't occur in chrome.

    to select another tab or to go back a field I have to click 2 sometimes 3 times to get a response. I thought it might be my computer (win7 64 bit; wireless mouse & keyboard).
    I decided to try Google Chrome to verify if it is my machine. Chrome works just fine.
    I prefer Firefox & would like to have this problem corrected....thanks

    Hi sailor842jb,
    Thank you for your question, I understand that the mouse responsiveness is not the best. I am happy to help.
    It looks like you have a Logitech add on that is listed in your Firefox troubleshooting information. This will be disabled in Safe Mode.
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] Please post back if you see improvements in Safe Mode.

  • I installed a new router from my ISP provider and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network.  What do I need to do to correct this problem?

    I installed a new (and supposedly better &amp; stronger) router from my ISP provider (Verizon) and now I can't find my Time Capsule or "Guest" network. 
    My Mac is not backing up because it can't find my Time Capsule network &amp; my "Guest" network has also disappeared. 
    What do I need to do to correct this problem?

    You must reset the TC to factory and start over. The TC simply remembers too much from the previous setup to work in the new one.
    If your new router is going to take the router role, then the TC will have to be bridged and you will lose your Guest wireless.. the way around this is to use the Verizon router as your guest wireless and the TC as your main wireless.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Factory reset Gen 5
    Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
    If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
    Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly.

  • After installing ParetoLogic PC Health Adviser, every time I run a scan and then hit "Fix All" the next time I run Mozilla all of my toolbar icons are white and I have to click each one seperately to get them to color-up again and by identifiable.

    After I re-click on each white bookmark and get them all rest they are fine until ParetoLogic PC Health Adviser runs a scan again and I hit "Fix All" then the next time I open Mozilla the book mark tabs are white again.

    Don't use "Fix All". That program is probably deleting the web site icons from the Firefox bookmarks file. Exclude the Firefox bookmarks file ( places.sqlite ) from the files that are "fixed".

  • New ipad 2 home button is not responsive

    I got a refurbished ipad 2 from apple store and when i open the ipad at home, i see the iPad 2 home button is not so responsive. I tried resetting but it didnt work.
    Do i need to take it apple store or return back.

    Exactly the same i got a replacement Ipad 2 weeks before my warranty ran out,after about a week of working perfect the home button starting playing up. I inserted the power cord into the bottom and pulled up on it slightly so it pushes up on the home button and it has worked perfect all week until last night,so i did it again and its fine again but for how long? If it does it again im going to return it again as you get 90 days warranty on the replacement,it must be a hardware issue.

  • Whenever I play a video the flash player logo shows and I have to click it first. How can I make videos play automatically?

    Every time I go to play a video the F symbol appears and I have to click it each time to play the video. Alternatively I have to right click the page and go into "no script" and allow that particular page. This didnt use to happen until recently. Running windows vista Firefox 3.6.
    thanks

    If you use extensions like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    You need to check the (global) settings in NoScript to see how you can unblock Flash content.
