Pairing devices fails after install of osx 10.8.5.. It fails at my Iphone and Ipad touch during the pairing about 5 seconds after I confirm the 6 digit number. Does this make sense?  Whats the fix? I am moderately computer literate. Thanks for considering this.

The following entry may indicate a failing harddrive, so doing backups and replacing the harddrive may be in order.
Disk Information:
          TOSHIBA MK7559GSXF disk0 : (750,16 GB)
          S.M.A.R.T. Status: Failing                                  <-----------
A little bit about drive S.M.A.R.T. status:
"The most basic information that SMART provides is the SMART status. It provides only two values: "threshold not exceeded" and "threshold exceeded". Often these are represented as "drive OK" or "drive fail" respectively. A "threshold exceeded" value is intended to indicate that there is a relatively high probability that the drive will not be able to honor its specification in the future: that is, the drive is "about to fail". The predicted failure may be catastrophic or may be something as subtle as the inability to write to certain sectors, or perhaps slower performance than the manufacturer's declared minimum."

  • I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud, but they are not sharing the information between devices ie if I purchase an app on one it does not transfer to the other although the backup is successful via iCloud.

    I have both my iPhone and iPad backing up via iCloud but the data is not being shared between the devices. When I backup it appears to be working as there are no error messages but the data is not shared between each. Any help would be great as this is very frustrating.

    Backing up to icloud is not the same as syncing data between devices.  Go to
    Settings>Store.  Turn on the automatic downloads that you want on that screen.
    Settings>iCloud.  Turn on the features you want to sync between devices.

  • TS2830 New PC windows 7. itunes with library of 246 songs. New computer recognises ipod, iphone and ipad but there is an error allowing me to get the music library from the PC itunes to any of the apple devices. Have tried de-selecting and re-selecting th

    All apple devices are recognised by the PC in itunes but cannot get the music to load onto any of the devices from my itunes library. there is an error message with 100+ errors as songs are not found. I have tried alll sorts of things but at a loss for how to get music onto my devices. I want to buy some more songs but reluctant to because not sure if I can listen to them on my devices! The PC is too difficult to listen to songs on (for obvious reasons).
    Please help.

    Thanks for trying, no it did not help. The article describes getting song from apple devices to PC, not the other way around. I will try ringing tech support tomorrow.
    Thanks anyway.

  • HT5622 facetime not connecting to all devices that use the same apple id.  I have both an iphone and ipad.  Incomin facetime calls connect randomly to one or the other or both.  (should be coming to both)

    I have an iPad and an iPhone, both registered to same AppleID.  Incoming Face time calls ring randomly on one or the other or both (and sometimes none). They should ring on both.

    check the 'recieve at' addresses you set in settings, facetime.  you can have multiple addresses. 
    On mine, i have thre addresses set the same.  I am using both a phone # and my e mail address  (neither one is my apple ID, by the way).
    If somebody calls me to FT using the phone #, the phone rings first, followed by the pad, about 10 sec later.  If they call using the e mail address, they both ring at about the same time.  If one or the other answers, the other device stops ringing. 
    So next time a call comes, wait a bit before answering to see if the other device responds.  and check your receive at addresses.  
    You might want to test a little - have somebody call using one address, or the other, and see if you can track the behavior.

  • I need to clear space on my mac and have 2 other devices I need space on- IpHone and Ipad.  I have Itunes match.  If I delete the library from my computer, how can I play music from the cloud on all devices.  S

    I am almost out of space on my mac and Ipad.  Need to clear songs off, but afraid I won't be able to listen without going to my external hard drive.  I have Itunes match but don't know how they are accessed from the cloud.  Thoroughly confused and frustrated.  Hope someone can help.
    Another question is my Iphotos are taking up tons of space and I don't know if they are in cloud or best way to back up.  Any thoughts?

    If you have iTunes Match, and your music is in your Match library, you can access it from iCloud on all your devices, provided they are signed into your iTunes Match account.  Make sure you keep a backup of your music somewhere though as the match process isnt' perfect and you may find that some of your iTunes Match music isn't exactly the same as the original (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112).
    The best way to back up your photos is to import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you are out of room on your Mac, get an inexpensive external drive to save your photos on.

  • HT2589 after my last update my iphone and ipad has an old apple id email address which I cannot change, but itunes has the right id.  How do I fix this problem

    After my last update mu iphone and ipad has an deleted apple id, but my itunes have the new on and I cannot change it on my devices.  Any help would be appreciated.

    If it's an old account which you'd updated with a new email address then try logging out of it on the iPad (and iPhone) by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad (and iPhone). If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • Jabber for iPhone and iPad cannot receive calls

    We currently have Call Manager 9.1.1 and Presence 9.1.1.
    I am starting to use the Jabber Client for iPhone and iPad, but am having trouble receiving calls dialed to a particular extension.
    If I can go settings for the iPhone Jabber client as an example, I am succesffuly connected to all accounts: IM, Phone Services, Voicemail, and WebEx.
    When I go to the keypad, I can succesffuly dial internal extensions and make outbound calls to any numbers and they come accross as using my extension.
    When calling the extension, my desk phone rings, but not the Jabber client.
    Not sure what could be causing this issue to occur for Jabber not receiving the calls.
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Paul Gaydos 

    Should still work. But would be good to check indial into jabber with the phone unplugged, just for testing purposes.
    also, you have checked the partition and configuration on the TAB device is the same as on the deskphone?
    Can you attach call manager traces when making a test call and attach to the case.  Let us know the extension and device names you have used in the test, and a timestamp of the test.
    thanks

I'm not on IOS yet but would like to backup my phone first but can't do that atm due to not being able to view my phone on itunes!
    Thanks

    Hi, jodie_0182.
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

    If the above step does not resolve the issue, try all remaining steps in the article.

  • HT1386 i have gone through several pc units over time and when i try to sync up my iphone and ipad to my new computer is says it can not sync because i have the devices registered on too many computers. How do i fix that?

    I have had several computers in recent years and when i try to sync my iphone and ipad to my new computer, it says it cant because the devices are registered on too many computers. I only need them synced up to two computers - how do i fix this?

    In iTunes, under the "Store" menu, you can select "Deauthorize this computer". That will remove that computer from your iTunes account and free up a spot for the new computer.
    If you have already sold or wiped your previous computers, you can log into your iTunes account from the Store menu in iTunes by selecting "View My Account xxxx@xxxx". Once you are logged in, about 1/4 the way down the page it will tell you that you have "xx computers are authorized......". Beside that you have the option to deauthorize all of the connected devices. That is the only option, you will have to deauthorize all and then set up the ones you want to use.
    I think 10 is the maximum number of devices that can sync to one iTunes account.

  • I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work.

    I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now my encryption passwords for my iPhone and iPad don't work. I know Apple says if you forget them then it's your problem. However, this was a direct result of my iTunes upgrade. I spent hours trying to fix this. HELP!

    Definitely seems to be a cross-platform bug in iTunes 10.5 concerning all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.

  • Slowing up after installing Lion OSX

    Since I got Lion OSX, my mac has been really slow to start up. When I bought my Macbook, One thing I was really surprised over was how fast it was to start up, like within 10 sec. it was ready to use, but now, especially after installing Lion OSX, it take more than 1 min. What can I do, to make it start up faster?
    Thank you for your help

    Maybe you are running some system tool that is incompatible with Lion.  Double check your Startup Items, and compare with this page here:

  • HT1893 After installing Mac OSX Snow Leopart 10.6.3 my HP Photosmart C5500 won't scan to computer.  The printer is working. What do I have to do to be able to scan again?

    After installing Mac OSX Snow Leopart 10.6.3 my HP Photosmart C5500 won't scan to computer.  The printer is working. What do I have to do to be able to scan again?

    Often, you have to download updated vendor software drivers when you switch operating systems. HP doesn't list a C5500 on their web site, however, here's the link to the OS X 10.6 C5540 software.  If you have one of the other C55xx models, look for the updated driver/scan software on their software/driver download section of HP.Com.
