  • I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default everytime I want to send an email from a different account?

    I have multiple email accounts in my iPhone 4. Before the 6.0 update... I could select what account to send from each time. Now it's a default. Do I have to go change the email default setting everytime I want to send an email from a different account?

    In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account.  The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
    Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

  • HT1222 Last week my iPhone 5 would only be down 5-10% in 24 hours. I mostly text and e-mail. After the 6.1 update yesterday it has been 20 hours since the last charge and it is down 60%. Something is up

    Sounds like all the settings that you may have adjusted to save power (screen brightness etc etc) have been defaulted back to factory.
    If you jump into all the settings and turn off what you dont need and turn down what you do need it will be the same as before.
    Worked for me

  • Downloaded version 5 for my iPhone 4, but the error message "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted." What do I do?

    I downloaded the new update for the iPhone 4, then left my computer and it went to sleep. I came back to it to update my phone and the message "The iPhone software update server could not be contacted." How can I fix this? I have already checked my LAN settings.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • I installed the Lightroom CC update.  I cannot open it. What is the problem?

    I installed the Lightroom CC update.  Now I cannot open the program.  Any suggestions?

    I'm having the same issue.
    I had Lightroom 5 installed via CC, and working fine on a Windows 7 desktop.
    I opened CC and saw the Lightroom CC upgrade.
    I installed Lightroom CC,..but when I try to open it, it dumps and gives me the following error:
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working
    If I look at the problem details I see:

    So what's up with this,...I'm at a dead stand still.

    Signing out of CC and then signing back in,..to no avail.

  • The last two updates will not complete. When I get to finish on the setupwizard, the programme will not respond. Why?

    The programme is loaded and installed on my PC, but will not run. It will not respond when I click on Finish.

    You need to switch back to your own store.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
    Tap your ID
    Tap View Apple ID
    Enter your password
    Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store

  • HT4623 Trying to update my iPhone 4. When I try it comes up as the iPhone software update server could not be contacted. What does that mean

    I'm trying to update my iPhone 4. It says the iphone4

  • HT201210 Has anyone else received a -39 error since the new itunes update?

    Since the latest itune update, I have completely lost all my uploaded audio books.  When I try to restore from my ipod I get error -39.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    I have no idea which password you mean. Your phone's password? Your Apple ID password? Your iTunes Store password? The Backup encryption password? It is impossible not to have an Apple ID password or iTunes Store password. They are usually the same, but don't have to be.
    If you need the backup encryption password it is cretain that you entered it, but it may have been a long time ago. It is prompted the first time you back up after checking "encrypt backup" in iTunes, and can also be required by your IT Administrator if you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone. It is never again prompted until you need to restore from the encrypted backup.

  • RE: Firefox search box - manage search engines - get more search engines.. IT DOESN'T WORK , I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    RE: Firefox search box -> manage search engines -> get more search engines..
    IT DOESN'T WORK
    I just want to add youtube + some others to the list of sites in the Firefox search box, I now get 1000's of useless irrelevant results, PLEASE FIX THE SITES SEARCH NOW, IT'S COMPLETELY USELESS NOW

    Hi Kvoter,
    What are you hoping for, firefox to display lists of sites you have visited or bookmarked ?
    *''' it should be able to do that'''
    * my firefox does that
    I am only a fellow ordinary user of Firefox & XP, but maybe the problem is on your machine, rather than needing a fix from firefox. If you take a little time to read this you may be able to sort out the problems yourself.
    I hope you do not mind me covering a few basics:
    * the [[Search bar]] { <-- clickable link -- ] is designed to produce a lot or results, whereas
    *the [[Location bar search|Location Bar]] is a lot more specific and may be [[Location bar autocomplete#w_controlling-behavior|set]] to include or exclude History & or [[bookmarks]]
    If you are getting literally 1000s of totally unrelated results you may need to consider [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]]
    Hope to hear that you have solved the problem, or a bit more detail about what still is a problem.

  • My Apple TV 2 has been stuck at the update screen for 18 hours, what can I do?

    I read about the 4.4.4 update yesterday. I always actively install new updates as soon as they're issued. This time my Apple TV has been stuck on step 1 of the update. The progress bar has been at about 90% since yesterday. Right below it says not to unplug the device while updating. No other controls respond. What do I do? I'm afriad to brick if I unplug it. Anyone has any tips for me?
    PS. I do not have any jailbreaks on it. It's stock.

    I have the same problem updated my Apple TV 2 yesterday and it got stuck on the Apple and the apple tv is blinking at a steady.  Restored in iTunes hooked it back up to my tv, input all my settings, wifi, apple id, and netflix.  and did not do anything else, came back in and the light was blinking steady on the apple tv again and stuck on the Apple logo.  Restored in itunes again and hooked back up, just hooked up my wifi settings and manually rebooted.  Same thing got stuck on the apple logo.  What to do?
