Touch ID working less and less - why is there no fix for this?
The recent IOS update did nothing to improve the touch-ID problems that had started about a couple of months ago.
Often my phone cannot identify me even in three attempts - on other occasions it works quickly the first time.
During the first couple of months I never had once a problem with logging in.
But now it is constantly happening, about every other time.
Is this sensor degrading to quickly, or is this a software problem?
I can't even go to the Apple store with it, because sometimes it just works for several times in a row.
I have heard that people have this problem with brand new phones.
So is it a botched IOS update that messed up touch-ID?
I Some time get that but for me it's some water on the scanner or my finger so clean both then try

am running win 7 64 pro - tried going back to firefox 10 with same results. all the tools options are set to remember passwords
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files key3.db and signons.sqlite that store the encrypted names and passwords in Firefox.<br />
Rename the files key3.db and signons.sqlite in the Firefox profile folder.<br />
You can add .old to the file names (key3.db.old and signons.sqlite.old) or move them to another folder to make it possible to undo the action.<br />
You need to set a new Master Password after renaming or deleting key3.db and all currently saved passwords are lost.<br />
If that has worked then you can remove the renamed files that are no longer needed.<br />

Ipod touch 4g - sound comes out one earphone loud and the other softly. I've tried other headphones with same result. is there a fix for this ?
Clean out/blow out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the heaphone plug a dozen times or so
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>GeneralReset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a bad headphone jack
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

(B) Try reset all settings

I recently upgraded the software on my iPad 2 to iOS8.02. Since upgrading the iPad is running slower and choppier, with several apps no longer working. In addition, it keeps knocking me off my cellular data and showing no service. Is there any fix for this, or can I downgrade the iOS back to 7?
I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.

Have you tried going to System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy and dragging your hard drive into the box then drag it back. That will trigger a re-index.

Sometimes I get a message that reads " UNSUPPORTED Accessory is not supported" when I plug in my bluetooth transmitter to my gen 6 nano. Other times it works fine. Is there a fix for this?
Have you checker the connectors on both the transmitter and Nano for any signs of damaged, corroded pins? It might help to take a can of compressed air to each. The error message may be simply a result of the iPod Nano not getting a full connection with the transmitter at first.

I am running Snow Leopard and have run the Keychain repair a few times to no avail.
Is there a fix for this or do I have to find another email program?This is frequent, not just occasionally. All cancel does is stop the email from coming through until I provide the password.
I thought about it being on the provider's end but it never happened when I was using Entourage, I just don't particularly like that program.
I don't understand why this problem has gone on so long without Apple doing something to fix it but I will continue to look for alternatives to the Apple Mail program. If I find a good one I will let all know through avenue.
Thanks again to all who tried to help. -
mac app store tells me to log into <edited by host> account to update apps(that I don't own) but that is not my account and I never heard of this email. Is there a fix for this?
Everyone here - please take a look at this thread ( the last two posts by WZZZ and Thomas Reed):
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15205291#15205291
It appears that a) Hotmail has 19 domains functioning as distributors for malware and b) someone is distributing pirated software. Although it does not appear to be related to the recent trojan, my suggestion: stay away from both.
Edit: so why does everyone here appear to have pirated software (and doing it through it App Store)????? -

I downloaded Lion onto my Mac, and now cannot open or access any of my Microsoft word documents or Power Points. Is there a fix for this? I need my documents
If it's because you were using Office 2004, the eight year old version of Office that was written when Intel processors were not used in Macs, then there will be no fix. Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications, as has been widely reported since Lion's release last August.
You can upgrade Office 2004 to Office 2008 or Office 2011. You can use iWorks 2009 that can open Microsoft files. You can use a number of free applications that are also capable of working with Microsoft documents. You can go back to Snow Leopard, if you have a backup. Or, if you have an external drive or room to add a partition to your current drive, you can install Snow Leopard on it.
Search these forums for more information. If this is your issue, it's been posted and answered several times a day since August 2011. -
