Need serious help. Time is incorrect and bluetooth won't work

I have iPhone 5c and the time is not right. The bluetooth won't connect or even appear. Problem started about 6 weeks ago when I did the update to ios8. I've read as much as I can about the problem. I've did every reset possible and nothing works.
I'm one month past the year warranty. Conveniently. I'm about 40 mins from the nearest Apple store.
Is there a solution or do I need to prepare for this to be junked and go to a Samsung?

Hi Ejjones55,
It sounds quite distressful that your iPhone will not keep proper time and the Bluetooth module does not appear to be functioning correctly. I am going to try to get you back on track so you can use your iPhone as it is intended.
Since you have already reset (restarted) your iPhone, the next step would be to back up any data that you have on it and restore as a new device. See this article for how -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

  • Late 2005 - Airport and Bluetooth - won't work together

    Hi everybody!
    I have a problem with my Powermac G5 (late2005).
    I have the Airport Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card installed.
    WLAN and Bluetooth work both if operated separately.
    But when Airport is activated and running and I turn on Bluetooth (and connect for example my Magic Mouse) Airport breaks down. - I loose my connection and can't see any other wireless networks.
    Switching to another Airport channel din't help.
    Does anybody have an idea what to do?
    Thanks a lot!
    Chris

    I just started trying BT.
    I allready had a look at the cabling and read about it, that it doesnt matter how the calbes are connected to the airport card.
    I don't think I can put anything between the antennas.
    The late2005 has the build-in antenna (for Airport and BT)...
    But I will have a look if I can place anything between an I will change the cabling...
    Thanks so far!

  • Need serious help with Ipod nano and WinXP

    A few days ago my fiancee was moving songs to her Ipod when it automatically tossed all of my songs onto her Ipod so she deleted them from Itunes and tried to continue. Something happened and she got a message that her Ipod "could not be read from or written to" so I hooked mine up to see if it was a hardware problem and all of my music was also deleted and now I get the same message. We have uninstalled the software, reinstalled the original CD, updated to v.6 and still get the same message. Also, when we try to uninstall the updated Ipod software we get an error message 0x80040707 access denied.
    We can see the Ipods when we open Itunes, but can't move any songs to our Ipods. Also gives an error msg about not being able to copy music because of missing playlists...I never had any playlists. These things are only 6 months old and I can't afford to pay $60 for phone tech support. If anyone has the answer plz respond or email me at [email protected]
    This has been giving us a headache for a week already. Thanks in advance.

    There are a couple of articles you can check out for help:
    "-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
    Hudgie - iPod cannot sync because one or more playlists are missing

  • Websites are formatted incorrectly and links won't work, since last update

    Since I installed the latest updates for firefox certain websites such as : http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ and hotmail , are incorrectly formatted and the links on the pages don't work. I can load my inbox on hotmail but the links to the emails don't work ie. you click on it and nothing happens. On the Escapist many of the links don't match the boxes they should be in, sections of the page are in the wrong place with images not loading, and many of the links don't load the right page, if anything at all.
    I've tried to use the report broken website function but this gets stuck on sending report and if you click submit report again it shows the details etc as being blank.
    I've tried restoring FF to defaults and also reinstalling it with no success. I know the website are okay as IE loads them correctly.
    any help appreciated

    Hi Rick,
    Interesting thread on Quark's forums. Mark Douma posts here, too. Very knowledgeable with the how fonts work in direct relation to the OS.
    I just opened a bunch of OpenType fonts and launched Quark. No problems. But as Mark noted, you'll see the bug pop up after a restart and then try to open the document that uses the OpenType fonts.
    However, I created a simple document using a half dozen different OpenType fonts and saved it to the desktop. Going by Mark's assumption about the cache files, I shut down my Mac and turned it back on. Essentially the same as turning it on the next day. Per his thoughts, I left the font cache files alone, activated the fonts again in Suitcase Fusion and launched Quark 6.52 by double clicking the document I had just created. Quark and the document opened without a hitch.
    Per Mark's post at Quark's forums, Quark should have crashed since I'm doing this all under 10.4.10. That tells me that while the font cache files are the problem for those who need to keep clearing the cache files to get OpenType fonts to work each day, it's not due to OS 10.4.6+. Since I'm having no issues (and never have), I would have to believe it's more likely to be a damaged OS that's causing the problems. If the OS is damaged, then the likelihood that it will in turn write damaged cache files is high.
    Or, Quark is damaged. It writes its own font cache files in the /Applications/QuarkXPress 6.0/jaws/ttfont/ folder. If you cleared only those cache files out and relaunched Quark, it might work without clearing the system cache files. That would tell you for sure that Quark needs to be reinstalled rather than the OS.

  • Quick Time, Animated Web and IPhoto won't work

    This MacBook won't run animated Web sites, like YouTube, or school text books -- nothing appears in the space where the animation should occur. There is not a question mark on Quick Time. We've updated Quick Time and made sure the Flash Enabled box is unchecked in the Advanced settings. We updated Flash, too.
    IPhoto won't display the different special effects or options to use on photos.
    We've had problems with this MacBook since it was new, returning it twice for a black screen, new hard drive once, new battery once, reloaded everything last attempt after it deleted sporatic system files. Problems started within 90 days of purchase and we are very frustrated that Apple won't replace it. We've had a problem every month -- any suggestions on how to get Apply to replace it or to fix the most recent problem of Animations not running on Web sites or IPhoto working properly?
    Thank you.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I have purchased and tried to upgrade my Quick Time 7 to QT7 Pro with no luck.
    What does this mean? Did you follow the instructions? What is or is not happening as a result? Any messages being displayed?

  • I need serious help please.. We do translations of schoolbooks, I looked for an over-type function but were unable to find, we are working in indesign CS 5. it takes up allot of time to delete text and type in the new language.

    I need serious help please.. We do translations of schoolbooks, I looked for an over-type function but were unable to find, we are working in indesign CS 5. it takes up allot of time to delete text and type in the new language.

    Argh that's frustrating! I never noticed that key did not work in InDesign.
    A bit of research and it turns out the MS Office has this as an option in their software. But I cannot find an option in InDesign preferences to make this work.
    However, somethings are not listed in the shortcuts and preferences and are hidden triggers in InDesign which can be accessed through a script.
    I'm not saying it's possible to activate the Insert Key through a script, but it's plausible that it can be activated.
    Maybe ask on the scripting forum? InDesign Scripting
    I know this may be a possibility as with InDesign's earlier versions of PDF export to interactive documents there previously was no way to export interactive pdfs as single pages if in Spreads.
    But the option to toggle this setting was scriptable.

  • I lost all email 6months and older in mac mail. Need Serious Help!

    I lost all email 6 months and older in mac mail. In my in-box as a well as all other folders I created. I expected that the mac email software would keep all email as it did for me in when I used to use Outlook. As well I thought I was covered with the Time Machine I have installed. Well.....The Time Machine that I was aggressively encouraged to buy apparently doesn't back up email. If it does, I must need some secret decoder ring to unlock where it is. I need serious help. I lost months of professional and personal data. I need to fix this immediately and find some way to get my email back. Please help.

    In March when I upgraded to Lion and iCloud I also experienced a similar problem (cluster of problems) which was solved by a password reset (conforming to new requirements) for my Apple ID. I'm glad to see that many nice people contributed and your primary problem is fixed.  My comment is on your Quicken problem.
    Your data inside Quicken 2004 is on borrowed time.  In the process of researching personal budgeting apps I found many reports on the web that indicate Intuit as a company is scaling down Quicken (desktop) development and its future attention to the Mac platform will be minimal.
    Did you know that Intuit is behind Mint.com?  You may be hesitant to put your financial data "in the cloud" and I may be being sheepish, but.. bbaaaa, bbaaaaa, the cloud is where it's going.  I know first-hand want a pain in the arse it is to customize an app to your liking.  I spent several hours on Mint.com setting up categories and tagging transactions.  It's tedious. I didn't look because I wasn't a Quicken user, but perhaps Intuit was nice enough to provide a data conversion path for Mint.com.  It is worth a look.
    My second suggestion is to scour the web for a hack solution.  You can't be the only person who is facing this problem.  Quicken was very popular.  I just bet someone has posted directions or some code for exporting the Quicken 2004 data and manipulating it for something else.
    Good Luck.

  • Cold boot problem with X-FI Fata1ty card... Need serious help!

    Hey guys:
    I just finished upgrading my computer. Realized that I have a cold boot problem. In order to identify the source of problem. I began the following test.
    . Remove everything except, cpu, heatsink, ram, video card. Tried to boot with those devices. => No cold boot problem.
    2. Install the rest of the ram sticks (I have 4 x 52 in total). => No cold boot problem.
    3. Install the other video card (my setup is 7900gtx in SLI) => No cold boot problem.
    4. Install the Creative X-FI Fataty card. => COLD BOOT PROBLEM
    Once the computer is shut down via the front power switch on the case, the computer will not boot again. To boot the computer, I need to switch off the main power switch on the back of the psu and switch it back on; then turn on the computer via the front power switch on the case. I tried the problem with and without the sound card. Whenever the sound card is installed. There is the problem. If there is no that sound card in my rig, then there won't be any cold-boot problem.
    My rig specs:
    DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR Venus
    AMD Opteron 65 CCBE 609 - Stock speed
    4 x 52 MB G.Skill Samsung TCCD LE 2.85V DDR 400
    CPU Cooling - Tuniq tower 20
    2 x EVGA 7900 GTX Stock - SLI
    3 x WD Raptor 74G RAID-0 SATA (-3) 0000 rpm (System)
    x Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 60Gb 7200RPM NCQ SATA - 4 (Backup)
    Pioneer Black DVR 0 DVD+/-RW - IDE /0
    Lian-li PC-V 200B Plus-2 with little case mod
    OCZ GameXstream 600W
    Creative Fatalty Sound Card w/ Front Panel
    Logitech Z5500 5. speakers
    I need serious help. This problem is so annoying.
    Tnanks and will greatly appreciate it.Message Edited by White_Hair on 0-27-200605:4 PM

    The onboard sound is disabled. Unfortunately I sold the Seasonic PSU to my friend. The OCZ GameXStream is suppose to be the higher grade psu than Seasonic PSU. Also, the cold boot problem only exists if the sound card is plugged to the motherboard. I tried change different pci slot. It doesn't seem to help the problem. Thanks for the reply Message Edited by White_Hair on 2-02-200606:07 AM

    I am having the same problem.  I even changed my password and updated all of my security information.  Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work.  Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00.  So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid.  Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?
