One of my kids has an iphone 4, the other has an ipod.  Bluetooth is ON for both, but they are not discovering each other.  Are there any suggestions?  (They bought a simple texting app so the ipod could text the iphone.)

The built in BT profiles that iOS has do not include any kind of file sharing. Does the app say that it will text over BT? If so, then the connection would most likely be handled through the app itself. What is the name of this app?

    We had a MacBook Pro stolen from our home when we were out of town and I am pretty sure we never activated the LoJack type of function on it not sure if its called lojack but you get what I am saying is there any way we can activate such  hardware/app now so we can possibly recover our laptop? Any one who can point us in the right direction that would be great and we would be very grateful. Thanks So Much

    Lojack for laptops - if that is the product you purchased and installed, you will need to read the user manual or contact the manufacturer as it is 3rd party.  You did file a police report right?

  • HT204053 My devices, iPad and iPhone, are not updating automatically with pages.  Any suggestions. They use to about one week ago.

    My devices, iPad and iPhone, are not updating automatically with pages.  Any suggestions. They use to update beautifully about one week ago.  I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple store for software issues, and I been having updating issues.  Little help please.....

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Check all your devices still have documents and data syncing turned on in settings > iCloud and that iCloud is enabled at settings > Pages. If this doesn't help, reset documents & Data from a computer at...

  • How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion os. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

    How can I burn a copy of my project to a DVD . I do not have IDVD because I have the Lion OS. I did purchase Wondershare for burning but it will not load the iMovie events or projects

    There is no proper substitute for iDVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    UPDATE & ADDENDUM:
    But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
    “when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
    I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
    “You can still use it one all of your Macs.  If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
    “It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
    I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected.  For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
    The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

    No, there are no gurantees. The capabilitty exists to retrive deleted data from an iPhone, but like many things in life it is not 100% successful all the time. Be careful, there are a lot of scam artists out there. They take your money & retrive nothing. This guy is one of the best in the business, but he does not work for people in the private sector. Perhaps he can recommend a service to you. But, as already pointed out, you're looking at thousands of dollars out of pocket whether these folks are successful or not:

  • I updated my old mac Mini to OSX10.5 (Leopard) and installed the latest version of Firefox, only to get a message that it 'is not compatible with this architecture'. Any suggestions on how to get a superior web browser back?

    Upgraded old Mac mini (from 10.4 to 10.6) PowerPC G4 Processor, downloaded latest version of Firefox and ran installer, got a dialogue box that said 'not compatible with this architecture', now I don't have Firefox at all, and it is my preferred browser.

    Firefox '''4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac''' and require at least OS X 10.5 and an '''Intel Mac'''.
    The''' latest supported version for your os is 3.6.26''' , you can download it from:

  • Does Apple support MacKeeper. Since installing it, when using Safari the Yahoo Mail freezes when trying to use it. Should I remove MacKeeper, they do not answer my  e-mails. Any suggestions appreciated. Yahoo Mail works fine using Firefox.

    Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm beginning to think MacKeeper was a BAD idea.

    Installing MacKeeper was definitely a bad idea! Search for it on these forums and you'll discover just how much trouble it causes people.
    However, all is not lost - here's a link to two ways of removing it:
    Either follow WZZZ's instructions on page 1 of this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3298049?start=0&tstart=0
    or you can use an uninstaller in this link: http://www.fixkb.com/2011/03/remove-mackeeper.html
    (it has been mentioned on other MacKeeper threads that the site has not been 'verified' - not sure how it becomes verified, but it seems there are many who are very pleased that the uninstaller is available. So I guess it's at your own risk - although I've not seen anyone report any problems after using it).

  • I'd like to connect my ipod touch (3rd generation) to my ipad2, but I don't see each other through bluetooth. What should I do?

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect an iPod touch 3rd (ios 5.1.1) generation to control my KEYNOTE's presentations in my iPad2 (ios 6.1.3). I activated bluetooth in both but they do not see each other. Is there any specific procedure to allow the connection or it is a problem of compatibility between versions of ios?
    I appreciate any input.

    iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth ON.
    iPad: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth.
    On the iPad running Keynote, open your Keynote presentation.
    Tap the Tools icon in the toolbar.
    In the Tools menu, tap Settings.
    In the Settings menu, tap Remote.
    In the Remote Settings menu, turn on Enable Remotes.
    On the iPhone, open the Keynote Remote app.
    In the iPhone Settings window, tap New Keynote Link.
    On the iPad, the name of the iPhone appears in the Remote Settings window; tap Link.
    On the iPad, enter the four digit number that is displayed on the iPhone, and then tap Done.
    iPhone: Open the Keynote Remote app. You can begin to control your slideshow from your iPhone by tapping Play Slideshow.

  • 2 Mac can not see each other via airdrop under the same airport/timecapsule.

    I have 2 iMac in my home with a TImeCapsule (gen4).
    The wifi is on both 2.4G and 5G with the same SSID.
    iMac A is working on 2.4GHz, iMac B is working on 5GHz.
    So they can not see each other via airdrop, meanwhile they can see each other  in the left panel of Finder.app
    Is it a known issue of AirDrop?

    Hi Kirby Zhou,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you would like to utilize file sharing between computers, not necessarily AirDrop. Please refer to the attached article for information on the file sharing process. If this is not what you are looking for, please let me know.

  • My wife and I got Iphone 4S same day 2 years ago. I used the same Apple ID for both. We do not use iCloud, but today after I updated my phone to IOS7 I keep getting her texts on my phone ans vice versa.

    My wife and I got Iphone 4S same day 2 years ago. I used the same Apple ID for both. We do not use iCloud, but today after I updated my phone to IOS7 I keep getting her texts on my phone ans vice versa. I turned off imessage in message settings. Seems to have stopped now? Never did this before IOS7. Will I have more troubble when her phone updates to IOS7? Is icloud going to be forced on me then?

    This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage on both phones.  To separate your messages, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both phones; or
    If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address, on one of the two phones, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID.

  • I was using this texting app on my iPod, is there anyway I can see who I was texting in my email?

    I was using a texting app on my iPod touch with my email, is there anyway I can see who I was texting in my email?

    Try restoring from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    To help prevent the last backup from being overwritten and thus erasing the Messages from the last backup turn off autosyncing so that you have to overtly start a sync. To turn off go iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods...".

  • My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID

    My Apple id was disabled and had to make a new one for iTunes but it's not letting me erase then re download the app with the new Apple ID   Just got an iPad air 2 so my iCloud and family sharing is with the one that's disabled. Which I don't know how to switch to my new one, so I trying to erase my apps that won't load and just re download them with my new ID that is being used with the iTunes n app store but I can't even find most in purchased plus it's saying that I can't get it cuz that ID is not with family sharing but I donT know why it would not be. Please someone help.

    OOk so I have my new Apple id in my iTunes account but my old Apple ID is the one that is in the iCloud account which is the Apple ID have been using for years and the reason I cannot get it on this abled is because somebody was using my credit card or debit card that was on file for family sharing and it was a stolen iPhone from my account so they had to disable my Apple ID and I could not use my debit card anymore on any Apple ID ever again they said because of it so I can't get it not to be disabled and I can't sign into iTunes with it I already have signed out and signed in with my new Apple ID for iTunes it's just iCloud is not letting me load anything so pretty much what I've been doing is I have to erase every app and then re-dumb going to iTunes and re-download the apps again but the only issue is that I still have a disabled Apple ID as my iCloud settings and my iCloud family sharing in all of that so I'm wondering how or is it possible to change my Apple ID for iCloud specifically because when I go into Icloud and settings and go into my name where my Apple ID is the one that's disabled it doesn't say anything about log out or sign out or anything like that it just says to put the password for it so is there a way to change the Apple ID for my iCloud so that my iTunes in my iCloud is the same Apple ID?

    You need to go to the App stores and find compatible apps. iOS device do not natively have to ability to transfer info to a computer via BT to a computer.
    With iOS 8 you can use AirDrop

    I downloaded the Vevo and Cityville apps, and iTunes says they're on my iPod, but I can't find them. Is there some place they go on the iPod?

    Try using the Spotligh search feature on the iPod. To get there, swipe the Home screen fully to the right.
    Also, if they are Games, they could be in the Game Center.folder
