  • To make sure I am up to date. I go Settings, About and see Version 4.3.3 (8J2) on iPad touch 4th gen. model! Does it mean I have loaded the latest version of software? Where in settings I can find out if iPad got (Windows 7) v11.1.4? What is (8J2)?  Help!

    Is it true?
    If it says settings general about Version 4.3.3 (8J2). I have intalled the latest vertion for iPad touch 4th generation model?  Where I can check if the iPad touch 4th generation has got iTunes (Windows 7) v11.1.4?  I think it is the latest vertion.
    When I connect ipod touch 4th generation to Mac using usb I get a message that new software vertion (6.1.5) is available for iPod! If I update it, I lose apps and data, but when I check general settings about version for iPod not iPad 4th generation I see version 4.3.5 (8L1).  Probably if I update it to the latest version it would say 6.1.5 (8L1). But what (8L1) for iPod mean? And what (8J2) for iPad touch 4th generation mean?

    An iPod touch, 4th generation can be updated to version 6.     An iPad 4th generation can be updated to iOS 7.0.4, which is the most current iOS.
    In both cases, you MUST, MUST, do a BACKUP of all data before you update!!                     
    You will probably have to restore from backup after update if you do have version 4.3.3 on a device.  This device will need to be connected to a computer running iTunes version 11.1.4
    Please!
    Read all screens carefully!!
    Read all pop ups carefully!
    iOS 7 encourages a passcode lock, you have to say "NO" - TWICE... If you don't use a passcode lock.

  • Trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings, About, there is no option for Software Update..

    I am trying to update my LG G2, when I go to Settings >> About >> there is no option for "Software Update" .. what else can I do?

    4.4.2 was the last update.  Now, in the same section look at Build Number.  Mine says VS98026A.  If yours ends with 26A, you are current.  The last update was for HD Voice called Advanced Calling 1.0.  Our next over the air or OTA update will be sometime next year, probably near March.  The G2 is already getting 5.0 Lollipop in Poland and is rolling this way.  We will get it, but even though Google has released the source code and update to manufacturers, Verizon still has to test, add to it and approve it, then roll it out over the course of a few weeks or months. 

  • Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    After the most recent iOS update there is a problem with phantom photos.
    Perhaps you have phantom photos, that are invisible in the Recently Deleted album and thus cannot be deleted. Then resetting the date will help.  Changing the date makes the invisible photos in "Recently deleted" visible again:

    Re: More photos in settings than photos app showsin response to morganfaith6 | This helped me
    I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
    I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.

  • Settings - About not working

    I recently had to restore my nano and reload all my songs. Although everything seems to be there, settings->about shows:
    Songs 1244
    Capacity 3.7 GB
    Available 3.5 GB
    iTunes shows about 100MB available.

    Sorry, misread your post. I was reading that was the amount used. I so shouldn't post when I'm tired.
    A random selection of 1250 songs in my iTunes library whose length is less than 4:00 comes out at 3.86 gigs.
    I'd suggest that you restore your iPod, making sure that all your music is backed up. Every once in a while, they start reporting weird capacity numbers and restore seems to fix it.
    Of course, I'd understand if you didn't want to follow any advice I can give....
    Best of luck.

  • Disc mode.  Misleading info in iPod Settings About window

    Hi, I have just bought and used the new iPod 80Gb. Computer is PowerBook G4 1.67 with Mac OS X 10.4.8. As well as the reported ERROR (-48) I have noticed that the Settings>About window on the iPod shows only the space taken up by my iTunes music library (3Gb at present). There is however another 40Gb taken up in disc mode by my Pictures folder which I copied from the Mac HD to the iPod. I would expect this to be reflected in reduced storage space in the About window.
    Any reason for this? I am also hoping Apple will fix the (-48) error as it is really annoying on a brand new piece of expensive hardware and I am reluctant to apply my own fixes. Firmware is 1.2.1 - the latest. Once it is all fixed it will be awesome to be able to listen to so much music AND store so much back-up of other files.

    How do I fix this?  I need to use that storage space for other things.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • What are these settings about?

    In the editor workspace immediately below the photo you are working, on is a drop down tap which can display documents profile,documents dimensions,sizes, scratch sizes, timing etc. What are these settings all about I didn't see them mentioned in the manual? And then over to the left a area where it shows percentage. Percentage of what?
    I'm using PSE5

    This information is present in the help files.
    Just open the help for PSE 5, and type the word 'status' in 'Search for' input for the product.
    This will lead you to 'To display file information in the Info palette or status bar' page. It contains the answer to your query.
    The percentage is to specify the Zoom percentage of your image.

  • Changing heading in Settings "About" screen

    On my Ipod Nano, under "Settings", on the "About" screen, the heading comes up as "user's Ipod". I want to change this to my name, but don't know where to go about doing so. Does it have something to do with the way I registered?
    Thanks for any help

    Hi springahh,
    First off, try restoring your iPod. For instructions on how to restore an iPod, see this Knowledge Base article:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    If restoring doesn't seem to help, then let's try reformatting your iPod to FAT32, followed by a restore in iTunes:
    1 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
    2 - When iTunes has finished syncing with your iPod, open "My Computer".
    3 - Right-click on your iPod, and click on "Format". (If your iPod is not showing in My Computer, make sure that disk use is enabled in iTunes).
    4 - Here, verify that your formatting settings are "Default", with the format type set for FAT32. Also, make sure that "Quick Scan" is not selected.
    5 - Then, click on "OK" to begin the formatting process.
    6 - When this is complete (it might take a while), make sure to restore your iPod in iTunes again, so as to properly reload the firmware back onto it again.
    Any success?

  • HT201471 My ipad 2 says it is a 16 gb but in settings about capacity says 13.8. why is that Thanks

    I have an ipad 2 model A1395. It says its a 16gb but in setting>about>capacity, it says 13.8. Why is that?

    Some of it on how hard drive capacity is measured, plus the iPad has installed apps that take up space.

  • Ipod Nano 'About" Settings

    When I save text documents to my iPod Nano, there is always funky jibberish text before the important info and requires me to scroll to the bottom in order to read my note. I noticed under the Settings: About menu that the 'Format:" lists Windows. This seems lame. Is this the problem? Is there a way to change this format?
    mike

    That's usually a sign that your headphones are not plugged in all the way.  The white but of the headphones should be flush with the Nano, meaning no silver can still be seen from the headphone's plug.

  • I have a mid 2011 macbook air and a new Apple TV but I can't mirror. What's the problem? I have checked display settings and I don't have the "allow mirroring" option there.

    What is the problem?

    About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

  • Player Settings Menu Intermittently Does Not Work / Settings Manager Crashes - Firefox 6.0/Windows 7

    1)  I occasionally have a problematic issue with the Flash Player Settings menu, primarily with SocialVibe (media.socialvi.be) applications associated with FarmVille, activities such as video quizzes and interactive surveys.  Sometimes after loading these applications, the Player Settings menu opens requesting permission for local storage space changes, however I am unable to left-click on anything at all within the Player Settings menu: Allow/Deny the requested change, manual storage setting adjustment, switching tabs within the menu, or (particularly frustrating) to close the menu.  Usually if the Player Settings menu requests a local storage change, I can select my preference and it works properly.
    When the Player Settings menu opens and is non-functional, the application will still run in the background, seemingly without issue, but is inaccessible because the Player Settings menu is active.  I have tried closing/refreshing the application, but the menu still remains unusable.  Many times there are several activities offered one right after another.  When one is completed, the link refreshes and a new application becomes available.  Each application is unique and only available for a very limited time.  The inability to make changes or close the Player Settings menu effectively blocks these activities from being completed.  Since I cannot complete the activity, the link for itwill not refresh, so I am stuck with an application where the Player Settings menu will not function properly and I have no opportunities for new activities.
    Interestingly, when the Player Settings menu is oblivious to left-clicking with the mouse, I am able to select the options of Allow/Deny/Close by using the tab key on the keyboard to highlight the appropriate button, however pressing enter does nothing.  I can also right-click with the mouse and access the menu for Settings/Global Settings/About, which works properly.  In this menu, when I choose Settings, it takes me to the Local Storage tab of the Player Settings menu, however I am still unable to make any changes, switch tabs or close the menu.  When I choose About, it will load the Flash Player webpage and it does tell me that I have the most current version (10,3,183,5) successfully installed.  When I choose Global Settings, it will open the Flash Player Settings Manager, which I am able to navigate and modify (mostly, related issue below).
    2)  I also have an issue with the Flash Player Settings Manager.  When I try to open the Local Storage Settings by Site, the Settings Manager will usually crash.  It crashes whether I open the Settings Manager from the Player Settings right-click menu or through the Windows Control Panel.  I had originally assumed that there must be so many websites listed that want storage permissions that it takes a while to load, but until this evening it had never loaded successfully and would go unresponsive almost immediately.  This evening I attempted to access the Local Storage Settings by Site many times, crashing and restarting the Settings Manager, until it finally loaded.
    In the Local Storage Settings by Site, media.socialvi.be (SocialVibe) is shown as having 0kb Storage Used and Ask Me under Storage Settings.  Because every application from SocialVibe is different, I want Flash to ask me each time it wants to change the storage settings, so I do not want to set its permission to Allow.  From reading through the Flash troubleshooting webpages, I understand that choosing Block may cause the applications to not run correctly, and I do want them to run properly.  The local storage request from media.socialvi.be was 5kb as shown in the Player Settings menu (that wasn't working), so if the Player Settings menu is not functioning and I must allow some level of storage, is there a way that I can specify how much to allow using the Settings Manager without setting the permission to Allow?  I do not feel that websites should be able to store as much information as they see fit on my machine, and as I want to keep as much advertisement information, tracking, cookies, etc. off my computer as possible, setting the permission to Allow seems to be a risky permission.
