My iPhone 4s won't connect to my MacBook, but will show up in my iTunes when connected. How can I fix this?
When I first got my iPhone 4s and was setting it up, it added all the photos that were on my MacBook. I want to take these photos off, but the only way to do that is to go through the iPhone on my laptop. But, when I connect my iPhone via USB my phone shows up in iTunes, but not on my computer. Not as a desktop icon or as an external drive. Please help me figure this out!! I really need to put these photos back on my computer and get them off my phone. Thank you to anyone that can help!!
Rome,
I would try everything that "Diesel" has suggested !!!
I had the same problem after updating to iOS 5.1. I was never able to fix it. I did however find a work around and that was to delete the offending Wi-Fi configuration and then under "Other" manually add back my Wi-Fi connection. This solved the auto re-connect problem. I don't think this is a fix but a pretty darn good work-around.
I talked to Apple about this problem while arranging for a replacement phone (for another problem) and the Technician seemed to be aware of this quirk and suggested that my fix was about the best I could expect.
HOWEVER - when I received my replacement phone not only did the problem that I exchanged the phone for now function correctly but the "Auto-reconnect" of the Wi-Fi worked as expected and as it did prior to the iOS 5.1 update.
Go-Figure !!!

My iPhone does not always send iMessages to other iPhones who have their iMessages on. Most times I text a new contact with an iPhone first, they show up as regular text messages. How can I fix this?
Yes to receive an iMessage the recipient would need an iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) and an internet connection. This is a messaging serviceprovided by Apple so the recipient does not need to check emails. If the contact does not have internet access at the time the iMessage is sent then a normal SMS through your carrier can be sent instead if you have "Send as SMS" turned on in Settings>Messages.

Not a nice answer!
Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
You're ignoring context. On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers. The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies. Then came Lion. The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest. (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable. (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems. I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there. Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
The people helping here are all volunteers. None of them is being paid for the time they spend here. They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities. It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do. -
My ipod is stuck in permanent shuffle. It won't play albums or my playlists in the order that they were created. How can I fix this?
Do yo have Shuffle turned on?
- On the Now Playing screen on the right hand side below the scrubber bar are crossed arrows. That is the Shuffle control. Tap it until it is white for no shuffle
- There is also Shake to Shuffle in Settings>Music
If still problem:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

some times my internet connection will say it has timed out and I can not connect. but my friends mac never has a problem. How can I fix this?
Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue. -

For the last year I have been unable to use my iPhone speakers because of some bug. I can play music and audio through headphones, but that's it. And just today even the headphones became spotty. I'll play a song (through iTunes) for a while, then the audio will just cut out. I can get it back by unplugging and replugging the headphones (sometimes multiple times) but that fix doesn't last long; usually within a few minutes (if not much sooner) the music cuts out again.
I really don't want to buy a new one because this one otherwise works fine. How can I fix this?iOS: Unable to update or restore

Hi 87rach,
Is the old email address a different Apple ID, did you change your Apple ID from that old address to the one you are using now?

Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. On that page, there is an option to 'Start New Conversations From'. Select your phone number instead of your email address. -
We were given this iPod touch from a friend. Here is what I have done so far. Reset it back to factor settings. Added my music. Set up the wifi through my home internet. And it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to iTunes. Don't know what else to do. Have tried to look on this community for answers and haven't found ones that I haven't tried yet. I did see somewhere where there was an update for the iPod touch. It was 4.95 on the iTunes store. Wondered if that might help. Don't want to pay for something that won't work. Thanks!
I would update. You need the update for apps.

So, I was running today with my iPhone in my pocket when later I noticed that I had no reception from it. On the top left corner where the "bars" of connection is supposed to be, a NO SIM icon appeared. I never had this happen before. So, I restarted my phone (hold down top and bottom buttons to force manul restart) and the reception bars appeared and things seemed to be normal. Then in about 2 hours later, when I was calling someone and mid discussion, the NO SIM icon appeared and my call was cut off. It was the same problem as before. I had to restart my phone again. There was nothing wrong about the recpetion in the area, I had LTE on, so nothing should be wrong with that part. Something possibly happened when I was running with my phone, but now, I dont know how to fix the NO SIM problem and how to get my phone going back to normal without restarting it so many times. Thank you very much.
Go to a phone store for your cell provider and ask them to replace your sim if that is not pos for you you can try cleaning the contact patches for your sim
Turn the phone off ( not just standby) use the tool that came with your phone in the pin hole in the sim tray on the side of your phone. With a pencil eraser gently buff the contact patches on the sim replace and restart -
