I keep getting a message saying this device is not optimised for this iPhone what does this mean?
I keep getting a message saying this accessory is not optimised for this iPhone, what does this mean? I haven't downloaded anything
If you are getting it when your iPhone is not connected to anything it probably means there is line/debris that is causing a short between the pins on your dock connector. Get a soft brush and clean it.

Anytime I try to login into my iCloud a message appears saying "the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on the iPhone".what does that mean ?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately once all the 3 iCloud accounts have been created on your device, you cannot create any more regardless of what you do. You will need to re-use one of the accounts that you have already created or create your new account on another iOS device or Mac computer. -
What is this Symbol called and what does it mean?
What is this symbol/icon called and what does it mean? It goes away with it's "notification" and I would have no idea where to find it should I need to.
Please. And thank you.It did come from Apple as I had to deal with this. But in speaking with another "Genius" I was trying to describe the symbol to him and never got an answer.

When iTM turned off on iPhone, what does cloud mean?
Turned off iTM on phone, synced phone. In the interest of using iTM as intended, I'm hoping to figure out why the Cloud Icon is still there next to some albums.
Sorry; the product should be iPhone 3GS.

I had used this itunes with my ipod nano before.
Depending on what OS you are using on the computer and your profile says Windows 7, you need to have Administrative priviledges to do some things. If you have Admin priviledges and have restarted the computer and are still having issues, you might want to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it. It will not delete your music library, but you need to follow the instructions found in this support document to be sure to get everything out.

Then resinstall and see if that helps. -
What does it mean when the message states that "This accessory is not optimized for this Iphone"?
Since Aug. 20th I have been receiving a message that states " This accessory is not optimized on this iphone", what does that mean, and how do I get id of it?
If you don't have it plugged into something it means there is 'crud' in the dock connector causing a short and making it think there is something strange plugged in. Clean out the dock connector with a dry toothbrush.

On my IPhone 5s, there is a symbol at the top of the screen and it looks like a circle with a lock inside. What does it mean and how do I remove it?
You mean the Control Center. As was said ...slide up with your thumb from the home button and a gray box should open (i.e. Control Center). There you can turn the orientation lock Off or On. You can also use the Flashlight or turn Bluetooth on or off, and other functions.

a lock logo with an arrow encircling it has appeared besides the battery percentage symbol in my iphone 4s. What does that mean and how to get rid of it ?
Its the screen orientation lock, and is covered in the User Guide.
Double-tap the home button, swipe to the right on the dock area and tap the left-most icon. -
When I try to connect to my wifi a lock symbol comes up...what does that mean
When I try to connect to my wifi on my iphone 4 a lock symbol comes up...what does that mean?
The lock symbol doesn't go away when you join your network. When you join it it will show a check mark next to it and a wifi symbol will appear on the top left of your screen.

What is the lock symbol with the circle around it in the upper right hand side of screen and what does it mean?
Thank you.
Would there be any particular reason why my iPad will not join my wireless internet at home but my iPhone and Macbook are joined? I thought that sign was hindering the connect but that is completely unrelated. -
What does this mean?
My iphone 4s just developed a similar problem. Ultimately, after a visit to the Genius Bar at which I was offered a replacement phone for $149, I took the phone to a non-Apple repair shop which diagnosed the problem as tarnished pins in the docking connector and replaced the connector for $49.
The symptoms I experienced were that the phone would not pull a charge. I tried different cables, wall outlet versus computer USB connection, etc. The screen stayed black until I depressed the sleep button, at which time the red battery / lightening bolt symbol would flash three times and then the screen would go black.
If your battery is dead, that icon will not show up at all. If you get the icon, it means your battery is run down and needs to recharge, but the defective docking connector is preventing the battery from taking the charge. -
I set up my work e-mail account on my iphone 4S. When I try to send an e-mail message from my phone, an error message occurs "Cannot Send Mail" - "recipient was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying". What does this mean and how do I correct it?
Get the correct mail server settings from your IT department.

Hi everyone,
My iphone and Ipad got stollen yesterday...
I registered my Ipad onto "my profile" but when I tried to register my Iphone 4 onto "My Profile" it says that the product has been registered under ANOTHER apple ID. What does this mean?! Does this mean that the thief is using my phone under a new apple ID?!
I am getitng abit paranoid because when I tried to download a new app onto my macbook pro, it says that someone had accessed my account from a new computer. I am so scared.. as I know that if they are able to access my apple ID account they can see my billing/card details. I tried to delete my billing address and card details on my apple ID account to prevent this from occuring but I can't. Please help
Many thanks,
KimYou should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.
