My touch id has been very off lately, why?

my touch id has not been working well lately, why?

Here's what Apple has on the Touch ID support site:
Get help with Touch ID
Make sure that you're using the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
If you're using a case or screen protector, make sure it doesn't cover the Home button or the surrounding ring. If it does, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
Tap Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is on. Also make sure that you've enrolled one or more fingerprints.
Try enrolling a different finger.
If you can't enroll any of your fingers, take your device to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for help.
You might want to try deleting the fingerprint that is not working well and try re-scanning it to see if the issue clears up.
Cheers,

  • My computer has been acting weird lately.  Shuts itself off, the mouse goes off in all angles, does not go into sleep mode sometimes and instead shows on a gray screen definitions of words in 3" letters!  Do I have a virus?

    Doesn't really sound like a virus.
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

    How many of these you can answer...
    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Is there a function to adjust the touch on the touch screen?   Its been very sensitive lately

    iphone has been very sensitive to my touch.  Is there a setting or function to adust the touch on the touch screen?

    Based upon your OP, I don't think Assistive Touch is what you want.  For more info on AT, see p. 155 of the User Guide.
    For your problem, try cleaning the screen and/or removing your screen protector.  It's a long shot but quick and easy to do.
    If still a problem, try restoring with your backup.
    FYI, there is no adjustment for the touch screen sensitivity.

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500
    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

  • HT201317 is there a way to view my photos if my phone was stolen and has been turned off?

    is there a way to view my photos if my phone was stolen and has been turned off?

    No. All you can do if you have Find My Phone setup is erase the device or lock it. It must be connected to Wi-Fi in order for the commands to take effect.
    What To Do If Your iDevice or Computer Is Lost Or Stolen
    iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad
    If you activated Find My Phone before it was lost or stolen, you can track it only if Wi-Fi is enabled on the device. What you cannot do is track your device using a serial number or other identifying number. You cannot expect Apple or anyone else to find your device for you. You cannot recover your loss unless you insure your device for such loss. It is not covered by your warranty.
    If your iPhone, iPod, iPod Touch, or iPad is lost or stolen what do you do? There are things you should have done in advance - before you lost it or it was stolen - and some things to do after the fact. Here are some suggestions:

    You are not addressing Apple here we are all just users like yourself
    lost/stolen                                     
    No app on the iOS device is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod/iPhone/iPad on the iOS device in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected or cellular data is on and connected for, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iOS device and have the device play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the device and report to police and carrier if iPhone or cellular iPad
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the erase (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 or later on the device. With iOS 7 or later, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Start recording video AFTER touch block has been activated - is it possible?

    So I'm in the camera app, I've enabled touch block. But i can only take pictures, either with the hardware camera button or the volume rockers. How do i engage the video recording function AFTER touch block has been activated?

    That seems strange since i can take pictures after having enabled touch block. As it is now i have to edit out the first seconds if I want to film underwater. Very unnecessary

    scottxx,
    That was very nice of you to provide your friend with a new phone! I am sorry to say that the device will not be able to activate while in Dubai. For a device to activate it must connect to the VZW network to become active. I apologize for any inconvenience.
