  • On my iPad2 the swoosh sound is checked in Settings but neither it nor the jingle when the battery is being recharged now work

    On my iPad2 the swoosh sound is checked in Settings but neither it nor the jingle when the iPad is connected for recharging are working. Any ideas ?

    Ensure that the mute switch is not activated. If it is not be sure the volume is at a level in which you can hear it. If your still having issues, test the sounds in other applications. If it is affecting multiple things, you may want to attempt a reset by holding the lock/power button and the home button until you see an Apple logo.

  • Two phones ordered, only one shipped. The iPhone 6 has shipped with tracking number and charge to my card. iPhone 6 Plus has no information available, no one at CS can tell me if this is normal, if it is delayed, any info appreciated.

    I placed an upgrade order for two phones, an iPhone 6 and 6plus.
    I was in the Verizon shopping cart at 11:55 and checked out by 12:01 AM pacific time.
    I do have my email confirmation for both phones with ship date 9/19
    The iPhone 6 has shipped with tracking number and the charge to my card came through for the price of this phone.
    There is no other information available - nothing on the status of the 6 Plus. Customer service doesn't know if this is normal or if my order went through, its really bad.
    Any further information would be much appreciated.

    I was just told by a Verizon sales rep that, when her team got in, when she checked the system at 3:03 (midnight+ 3 minutes)  all 6Plus had a back order date of October, and now its going into November even though the pre-order system was showing 9/19 - that all verizon iphone 6 plus had an instant sell out.
    She had no additional information on my iPhone 6 plus, not even if there was a chance for it to ship out, when the back order date would be - no further information.
    (A different rep I talked to said all iphone 6 plus pre orders had a ship date of October, all of them - I asked what Verizon is going to do when they advertised iphone 6 plus for 9/19 delivery and your telling me they never had any available - at this point he transferred me... *****)

  • I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. 
    There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I have an iMac 3.06 24" late 2008 model. On the superdrive slot, one of the rubber protective strips is damaged. When I eject a disc, it blocks the disc from fully releasing. Any help in fixing this?

    Ok, maybe it isn't rubber but it felt like it. Maybe it is felt or something similar. But you can see in the photos what the problem is. I am just afraid that the piece is going to get jammed into the super drive and really screw it up. Thanks for investigating.

    When I press the + and - buttons, the volume icon appears, but the slider is empty. When I receive a call, I hear it ring, and I can hear the ringtones in the sound menu. However, the message/mail notifications don't make any noise, and I can't hear the sound menu.
    - During a phone call, if I put the conversation on speakers ==> it works and the volume bar reappears. I can control the volume with + and - buttons. But when the conversation is over, the bar disappears again.
    - With the headphones, everything is ok!
    - I also noticed (only a few times) that when I do a silent to ringer mode, the volume slider reappears and works correctly during 2 or 3 seconds, before disappearing again.
    I don't know what is problem,because the speakers work.

  • When updating my spreadsheets (iWork '08) the umbrella icon appears in the dock, and the software backs up what I've entered. I don't recall setting this up.

    Anyone know what's going on?

    Thanks, but I do know what the software is for as I occasionally use it to back up stuff onto my iDisk, but I don't understand why I'm getting backups of stuff like spreadsheets when I haven't set the system up for it.
    The only back up I do have set up is for my iPhoto album to back up to my Lacie external hard drive...that's all.

    My daughters iPod wont turn off and has a blank white screen. i tried to restore it to the original state and it is still the same. is this fixable? thank you for your help

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I cannot post any status update, i keep on receiving an error prompt "the facebook server has returned an unknown error and is not able to fulfill your request. (2001)".  it has been like this for the past 3 days. I already did the hard reboot many times, re-send service book though i do'nt think it's needed, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling the facebook application too but still getting the same error everytime i try to post a status update. I can comment to messages on my wall and other profiles, the news feed is updating in time too, i can also log-in and out to facebook with no problem, as well as other applications on my phone like foursquare, BBm, ubersocial, BB protect, BB app world, etc, are all working perfectly fine. And now I don't know what seems to be the problem.
    I've already contacted my network provider and told me that the error i'm getting is beyond their scope.
    Is anybody having the same problem as mine? 
    Can someone in BB support team help me regarding this issue and tell me what should I do?
    Thank you in advance.

    I can not  update my status and check-in ! It gives me "the facebook server has returned an unknown error and is not able to fulfill your request. (2001) "
    I can upload photo, put comment on people, like people status/picture. The news feed update perfectly !
    I also  tryied to uninstall reinstall the app, reboot etc etc ! I still can't update my status !!!! I've installed 3.0.0.17 this morning and the issue is still there...
    I've remarked one thing... On my facebook under "privacy setting/the Apps, Games and Websites" I used to have a "blackberry app" installed. It's not there anymore and I didn't remove it.
    I don't know how to reinstall it...
