My macbook goes into 'sleep' mode when my mobile runs over the bottom left corner, next to the trackpad, does anyone else have this problem?
Not sure if anyone else has this problem. I only noticed it a few weeks ago when I left my mobile on the keyboard, towards the left of the trackpad. When I started typing I accidentally nudged my phone off the board and then everything went black. I hit any button and everything turned back on again. I'll assume that it went into 'sleep' mode. Is this normal or should I be worried about the health of my mac?
I am facing pretty much the same problem ... although sometimes the click does work on other parts of the trackpad, but largely I have to stay focused on the left bottom corner. It's getting slightly frustrating esp. because I like the click better than the "tap" and my MAC is only a month old!!
Is this a software issue or a h/w problem?

I'm having a lot of problems sometimes signing into Game Center, or when the game itself is loaded I will click on something and it pretty much crashes and goes back to desktop! This is very annoying. Just not sure why this keeps happening. Does anyone else have this problem and know what the cause of it may be?
My guess would be you don't have enough memory available to run the games that you are trying to play. This is not supposed to happen in iOS - but I have seen too many instances to believe that the iOS can handle it properly all of the time. My suggestion would be to close all apps in the recents tray, reboot and start over again and see if that helps.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
The problem could be something else software related and restoring the device might help, but I would start with this and see how it goes. -
Does anyone else have this problem?
When I am talking to someone on the phone it will all of a sudden go silent as if I have been cut off but the call is still connected. I then have to hang up and ring that person back. Is this a common problem? Can it be fixed?
Please help!!
BexIs there a case on the iphone?
If so, then remove it and see if that solves it.
Otherwise, make an appointment at the genius bar. -
My new IPad mini has poor wifi reception. It goes in and out. My IPod, Iphone4, Ipad1 and Ipad2 work fine. What can I do? Does anyone else have this problem?
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

When i'm using facetime or skype video chat, the camera would work just fine for about 5-10mins and then it starts to blink and then just turns into a black screen. Does anyone else have this problem? HELP!

I continue to get an error 37 message when trying to restore my iphone 3GS which crashed after trying to upload the last update. Does anyone else have this problem?
Did you manage to fix the issue?
I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update! -
When I open the kindle app on iPad 2 I have to search for the correct page. Does anyone else have this problem?
Well, I did a search on apple.com and found this:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-news/2010/04/the-hidden-itunes-visualizer-con trols.html
"The Visualizer -- graphics that swoop and pulse with the music -- has been part of iTunes' DNA from the beginning. And because its creators wanted to interact with the graphics in real time as well as watch them, Visualizer includes some single keystroke commands that change what you see while it runs. But these commands are hidden by default lest they obstruct the graphics.
Use the Show/Hide Visualizer command in the View menu to turn Visualizer on and off, and use the Visualizer menu to select among the choices. If the choice you're using has hidden commands you can see them for a brief time by typing ? while a song is playing and Visualizer is visible. The keystrokes will work regardless of whether the help menu is showing, so if you memorize them it's possible to add Virtuoso Visualizer Player to your list of accomplishments. (For the Visualizer choice called Jelly, available only in iTunes for Mac, try holding the keys down, especially the number keys, for maximum effect.")
Not that you care. >.< -
With my ipages program for some reason now when I open a blank document no cursor appears so that I can start typing. anyone else have this issu?
I gather you have Pages '09? Even though you haven't said so. You definitely don't have "ipages".
It sounds like you have opened a blank Layout template, which has nothing on the blank page for you to type into.
Either insert a Textbox or Shape, or create a new document using a Word Processing template, they are listed in the Sidebar.

NNeed help I connect my iPhone 5s to Bluetooth in my 2015 GMC Terrain. When I make a call i can hear them but they can't hear me. Anyone else have this issue? How did you resolve it. Other phones work fine, just not my phone.
Hello Sandylynn,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you can connect the device with Bluetooth and make and receive calls but they dont hear you. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
If your voice is too faint or sounds unclear using iPhone, or iPod touch - Apple Support
People can't hear you during a phone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Browse in iBooks on my iPad does not work. When tapping on the author name nothing appears. Is anyone else having this problem?
it does not show up in photostream in iphoto on my imac. Everything is activated and turned on.
Just in case, on your iMac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Make sure Photo Stream is switched to on.
If it was already on, switch that off. Restart your iMac, restart your iPhone.
See if photos sync between the iMac and iPhone. -
The screen is blank when I try to buy diamonds. Does anyone else have this problem?
Is anyone else having a problem purchasing diamonds in Hay Day? The screen is always blank when I go to it.
That would be a problem with the game not the iPad. Try updating the game(if needed). If that doesnt work, remove and redownload the game. If that doenst work, then Hay Day will come out with an update soon to fix that.

When I've plugged my phone into my car auxiliary cable it only plays out the left hand speakers. If anyone has any ideas or solutions to the problem I'd be very grateful.
Lthere are two ways, usually if u restart the phone it will reset, but the other is going to your system and shut it off manually...
