    Bought the Iphone 6   2 days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owned. Am not very happy that Bluetooth would present a problem.

    I can't help with the other devices but note that an iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
    If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

  • Hi guys this is my first apple script so tell me what you think!

    Hi guys this is my first apple script so tell me what you think
    display dialog "Daily morning routine will now open"
    say "Good morning I will now play your playlist,"
    say "Ok now i will open up your wmail and look for new mail"
    open application "iTunes"
    tell application "iTunes" to play library playlist
    --Note: This tells itunes to play the library
    open application "Mail"
    tell application "Mail" to check for new mail
    --Note: This tells mail to open and check for new email
    say "your new mail is waiting to be selected,"
    --Note: This lets the user get an update on what the CPU is doing
    say "I will now open up your weather, and trafic conditions,"
    display dialog "Please enter your zip codes on both sights"
    tell application "Safari" to open location "http://www.weather.com/"
    say "please enter you zip code"
    tell application "Safari" to open location "http://www.traffic.com"
    say "once again please enter your zip code"
    --Note: This tells safari to open up the twp web sights listed

    So far, so good, and welcome to AppleScript - you could save yourself a little typing by using a timeout with your first dialog and building the URLs with your zip code (I just looked at the URL bar):
    display dialog "Daily morning routine will now open" giving up after 4
    set ZipCode to "95014" -- change as needed
    open location "http://www.weather.com/weather/local/" & ZipCode & "?lswe=" & ZipCode & "&lwsa=WeatherLocalUndeclared&from=whatwhere"
    open location "http://my.traffic.com/Controller?appname=mytraffic&workflowname=routing&pointA=" & ZipCode & "&pointB=" & ZipCode

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • Can I set up a 2 (or 3) room audio system? I have iphone 3, iphone 4 and ipad 2 and need to know what hardware, if any, I need for this (airport express?, apple TV?) Also, would I use icloud or home sharing?

    I need to know what hardware, if any, I need to do this (airport express?, apple TV?)
    I simply want to send music from my itunes to 2 different rooms at the same time. Is it possible? I have iphone3, iphone4 and ipad2 if that helps.
    Also, would I use icloud or home sharing? Sorry for the noob question, any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The answer is not if you use iTunes.
    The TC is NOT an iTunes server.. it is not a media device at all. It is a backup location for Time Machine.
    You need a computer in the network which stores the iTunes library and you can then play it via the ipad.
    A mini with a large USB drive plugged in will work fine.. it doesn't need to be new.. a couple of years old mini will work just as well.
    As an extention to this, can we use multiple Airport expresses plugged into mutiple sound systems to simultaneously access different music from the same time capsule?
    I am not sure.. there will be network limitations to this.
    Look up how to use itunes in a network.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4620
    You would do better perhaps posting the question in iTunes section.. if as I guess you are actually using iTunes.

  • Need Advice in Purchasing my first Apple

    I will be purchasing an IMac this weekend, but am still a bit unsure on which one to go with. This will be my first apple computer and I've spent a good part of this month researching on which type would best suit my needs. It comes down to the 20" IMac or the 24" IMac. I would be upgrading either one to the 500 Gig hard drive, adding the apple care plan, and purchasing a 4 GB's worth of RAM from crucial.com (far cheaper than what apple sells it for). If I went with the 24", I would probably choose the lower end of the two, but upgrade to the 2.8. I will primarily be doing screenwriting, light gaming, and heavy use with programs like Final Cut Pro and Photoshop. But these forums have made me very wary of the 24" with all the problems people seem to be having with driver issues, color distortion, pixel issues, and etc..? I have not seen many of those issues in these forums with the 20" model. Both computers seem to contain nearly the same processing power, and I am wary of the 500 dollar price difference amongst the two, if the more expensive one is going to be a huge headache. What should I do?

    One of the lovely aspects before buying a new computer is deliberating the configuration that suits your needs best. I have a MacBook Pro myself and for my job I can use the new iMac 24" 2.8 4GB 1TB HD. It is a dream machine. We buy an Apple care protection with every new mac machine that the company buys and although we never had to make use of it just the reassurance "in case" is worth the investment. Reading your post you are about to spent some big bucks this weekend and whilst you're at it I would advise you to go all the way with it. What I mean is when you want the extra RAM, go for the Apple sets. When something goes wrong, and one of the problems you mention should happen, are more likely to get fixed quickly cause the knowledge is available and stand-by regarding Apple hardware. Third party hardware has it's own architecture that needs specific knowledge and insight allowing a swift and effective repair / trouble shooting solution. So whenever a problem occurs your return on investment may be much more worthwhile with regards to the money you saved on the purchasing of your machine and it's configuration.
    The 20" is fine for FCP and other graphical programs, the 24" is "really neat".
    Apple does some pretty good factory "pimping" whenever required

  • Need help with rented movies and Apple TV

    I rented two movies from the iTunes Store from my laptop rather than my Apple TV. I cannot get the rented movies to show up on my Apple TV. I've tried to "move" the two movies from my laptop to Apple TV via the Apple TV tab in iTunes where it shows both movies under a "Rented Movies" section and gives me the option to "move" each one to my Apple TV, but when I click on each movie to move it to the Apple TV and then hit "Apply," nothing happens (at least as far as I can tell). Is there someplace special I need to find rented movies using my Apple TV remote? I clearly need help, please!

    Hi Winston,
    I have purchased the third generation of Apple TV but have not installed it yet, so I am still using my second generation Apple TV, for which I posed this question. Is the answer different when using Apple TV II?

  • I need help with the .xinitrc (first time arch user)

    I just installed Arch on a virtual machine and i am following the beginner guide step by step.
    I have reached the point that i enable gnome-session to start automatically when you invoke startx.
    The guide says i need to add the line "exec ck-launch-session gnome-session" in the xinitrc file.
    I tried doing this in the root account and the system just doesnt login to gnome. I tried doing it using the normal user and the files just disappears, and cannot be edited.
    I looked around on the internet and found that typing startx /usr/bin/gnome-session startx gnome, but it doesnot replace startx or starts automatically.
    this is my first time using arch and i would like help.
    Thank you.

    You probably think the file "disappears" because .xinitrc is a "dot" file, which normally doesn't show up in an ls listing. Any file whose name begins with a '.' is a "hidden" file and generally doesn't show up in any listing. 'ls -a' to see it.
    And please note that it is the file .xinitrc - ie, it begins with a period. This is the file that is looked for by X at start up.

  • I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

    Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

    Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online.  It is not possible to uninstall it.  Do you mean the iTunes application?  Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too.  You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

  • HT4060 My ipad mini wont charge I bought a new charger since the old one didn't charge my ipad and the same problem is happening i charged it over night and when I woke up it said 50% soo can someone help me this is my first apple product a

    Well my ipad mini isn't charging.. I with the original charger it didn't show the charging sign when plugged in.. And I bought a new one a 12:00 one from bath bed and beyond. Now it ain't charging again even thought it did a few days ago.. Now I don't know what to do.. I don't wanna keep buying chargers..

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.htmlhttp://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.
