TS2481 Contacts synchs very slowly and all the time. How do I speed it up or set a delay between synchs so it does not slow me down?

Seems that iCloud is frequently and very slowly synching my contacts db. Can I set an interval between synchs? Is there a way to speed up each synch?

There is no fixed sync interval. iCloud pushes out data whenever there's a change on any of your devices. Why do you think something is wrong, and have you taken all the steps suggested in the support article?

I have downloaded iOS 7.1 but now my phone just reboots all the time, how do I fix this?

I have downloaded iOS 7.1 but now my phone just reboots all the time, how do I fix this?

Hi Will555uk,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is restarting unexpectedly, I recommend starting with step three in this troubleshooting guide:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,
Jeremy

Brand new iMac 3.4GHz fan runs all the time - how do I stop it?

Hi, just opened my shiny new imac but the fan runs all the time and very loud! Has anyone any ideas how to fix this or should I return the imac to apple?
I've also noticed that none of my external drive icon show up on the desktop - nor does the imac hardrive icon appear - any ideas?
Thank you in anticipaction.

Try an SMC reset, you may need to do it at least 2x.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

My iPad 2 changes wifi network from home router to wifi audio all the time, how do i stop this?

This happens all the time and I dont use the audio all that much. Yes i can disable the audio but synching it back aagin is not an easy process.
I thought the iPad stayed on the same network and last used network, my iPad cahnges in the middle of say reading the local news paper.

Try rebooting your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

The back and forward arrows are greyed out all the time - How can I fix this?

I am currently using firefox ver 21. However the forward and back buttons are greyed out and will not work. I would be happy to re-install the program but how do I re-install without losing all my bookmarks and settings.
Please advise.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Why is my Macbook Pro running so slowly/Pinwheeling all the time?

I have had this Macbook for almost exactly a year. It has the Lion OS. It just recently started running very sluggish. It started with iMovie. I do a lot of video projects and iMovie started to constantly shut down, pinwheel, or stop responding and I would have to force quit about every 10 minutes. Now, my safari is running slow, launch pad takes 5-10 seconds to display my apps, and even rolling over my apps on the dock takes a second to magnify. I have looked online for answers, but I am just a 19 year old girl and I don't understand technical things very well.
If some one would take me through a step by step easy to follow process to diagnose my problem I would be so thankful!
I know I have 4 GB right now.
Thank you!

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
SuperDuper!
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.

Update to 10.4.3 now hangs my system all the time -- how do I fix this?

I've read so many threads in these forums. I've run repair disk / Disk Utility, I've run repair permissions/Disk Utility, I've run Cocktail's Pilot daily, even hourly, and restarted each time in order to remove cache files and STILL I have my system crashing constantly. It doesn't matter whether I'm using Mail, Safari or any other application that doesn't access the Net. It happens whether I'm hooked up to the Net or not.
I need to post this quickly before it hangs again. This happened right after I updated to 10.4.3. Anybody got any suggestions? I'm getting desperate enough to return to my XP machine which is turning out to be more reliable. I don't want to do that. Help?!

Thanks for your comments. No, the Sonnet board is fully compatible with Tiger, no firmware updates are necessary. And it's freezing cold in my office, plenty of air around the Cube, heat can be a problem, for sure.
I was using MacJanitor first, then switched to Cocktail per some one else's recommendations here in the forum. I'll check out the utilities you mentioned.
It's such a p-i-t-a to backup, erase and do a clean install. It seems to me that this update is the worst to have ever come out of Apple. There are posts all over the place with the problems it is causing everywhere. [sigh]
Thanks for your help.
