On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail" screen with icloud, Microsoft exchange, Gmail, Yahoo, Aol & Windows Live Hotmail listed beneath. How do I make it call the number instead?

Never heard of that. I suspect it thinks that's an email address and you're seeing that screen b/c you don't have an email account setup on your iPhone.
Assuming the number is valid, try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

When I tap the mail icon on my iPhone 4s, the menu of email servers pops up. I already have a me acct that I check all the time, no problem. So I choose iCloud, sign in and it tells me that I already have an acct-.so why can't I get to my emails then?

i cant download new application on my Iphone everytime i open app store then searching for the application i want to download when i Tap the FREE sign it become half square and never downloaded.

Sometimes this happens because the app won't run on the iOS version of the device you are trying to install it to. Go to the app store and make sure it will run on iOS 3.1.3 (many only run on iOS 4 or higher).

I contacted Verizon (my phone's carrier) and they told me to simultaneously press the on/off button and the menu button. That rebooting fixed the problem, but will I have to do this all the time? Wonderinf if I should take the phone back to the Apple store and get a new one. I've had the phone about two weeks.

How come when I tap the back of my iPhone next to the camera, it sounds like there is a lose piece in inside?

I just got my iPhone so i can't imagine there is anything wrong, but I noticed that when I tap the back of my iPhone next to the camera, it sounds like there is a lose piece in inside. Also, when I put the iPhone down on a desk or table i hear the same sound. Wondering if this is normal?

Hi JRM833,
That would be enough to make me worry as well. I've not seen (or heard, in this case) that happen on any of my iPhones, or any others that I've been around (friends, family, etc.).
I would say that no, that isn't normal. If you're near one, take it to an Apple store. Or, if you made your purchase at the wireless carrier you've chosen, take it back to them to see if they could help you out.
Best of luck.

When I debug, the app runs as normal and doesn't crash when I tap the elipses hence nothing happens.
Does your tapped handler get called?
It looks like your buttons stack panel may be on top of your ellipses. Try reversing that so the ellipses are on top:
<StackPanel Name="ButtonsStackPanel" Grid.Row="1" Orientation="Horizontal">
<AppBarButton Label="tfg" Icon="Add"/>
<AppBarButton Label="tfg" Icon="Add"/>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="DotsTextBlock" Text="" FontSize="14" FontFamily="Segoe UI Symbol" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top"
Tapped="DotsTextBlock_OnTapped">
</TextBlock>
You can also use the Segoe UI Symbol "More" character to match the standard more ellipses rather than trying to implement your own. A step further would be to make it a button so that it has proper clickable semantics and will work properly with the
keyboard, although for this specific use you can get away without it since you'll provide standard Windows+Z AppBar behaviour.

TS1702 I just updated numbers to newest version and found that numbers quits to home screen when I tap the information icon on "function help", it starts to load the "help" then quits this happens on both my ipad3 & iphone5

2/3/14: I just updated numbers to newest version and found that numbers quits to home screen when I tap the information icon on "function help", it starts to load the "help" then quits. It happens on both my ipad3 & iphone5. I tried restarting the devices but it didn't help.

Try this - 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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Hi,
You have 2 solutions:
1 - You can use 2 differents icloud account
2 - You use the same account but you don't sync yours contacts.
You configure that in Settings > icloud
You activate or desactivate what you want.
Have a nice day.

I have an apple ID which I use to sign into icloud for my iPad and iPhone.But when I use the same ID for setting up iCloud on my Macbook it says INCORRECT ID or password, try again. I tried changing my passwords but it does not work for the macbook.

You will have to provide the correct password to delete the existing account, if you have tried but are not getting the password reset email, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

On my iPhone when I go on phone to view my contacts on the top left corner there is a circle with a arrow ( like a refresh icon ), just want to know what is it?

That's exactly what it does, refresh your contacts. As an example if you add a contact on your Mac or iPad and you use iCloud to sync them altogether, then this can be used to refresh the contacts on your iPhone.

I updated my iPod tough 4G to iOS 5 and can no longer access my camera. When I tap the camera icon it goes to a black screen. HELP?

Camera no longer working in iOS 5 on my iPod touch 4G. I have a black screen when I tap the camera icon. I still have all my photos, but no camara. Any suggestions before I head to the Apple Genius Bar??

Im having the same problem. I just got the itouch 4g this past sunday and everything was working great. Yesterday and today the camera went black out of nowhere and its black right now. After i turned it on and off it went back on but its doing it again. So i assume its just an iOS 5 bug thats doing this. But is there any talk about fixing this?

I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help :(

If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

On an iphone 4s, when I tap the phone number in my contacts list instead of calling the number it goes to a "Welcome to mail screen" how do I make it call the number instead?
