Why am I suddenly getting dropped phone calls
I've had my iPhone 4 since June of 2010 and have been completely happy with it. Then suddenly last week I started experiencing dropped calls--especially dropped long distance calls. I make the call, we'll be chatting for 10 minutes or so, then suddenly the person I called can't hear me anymore. I can hear them, but they can't hear me. Within a matter of 30 seconds the line goes dead. If I try to phone back, I can hear them when they answer their phone, but they can't hear me at all. It's maddening. I don't know if it's a problem with my phone, with AT&T or both.
Anyone with a clue?

Go to setting and reset networks setting. If that doesn't work call your carrier to reset setting. Last thing you can change your sim card. After that go to Apple and they have a special software to check your drop calls on your phone. If it hardware they will replace your iPhone.

Just recently my Iphone 5 battery is dying in a just a few hours, it used to last all day or more. I'm not doing anything different with it, although I have started shutting down apps etc. to conserve battery. I get constant "message send failures and frequently dropped phone calls.
My best bet would be to restore the phone. Back it up to itunes, and then reset it Factory settings. This way, any corrupt software will be removed, and you can start fresh. Make sure you back it up first. By the sounds of it, you are using the phone for business and probably need the data from it. Hope this helps!

Why am I suddenly getting a "Dropped Frames" error?
Hi,
For two years I was working on a large project in FCP 6 where I was able to do quite a bit of work without ever getting "dropped frames." Recently I deleted this entire project and loaded footage for a MUCH smaller project. This current project is MUCH less demanding. Fewer effects, fewer timelines to work with. Same exact system. Nothing has changed... except now... the mos rudimentary effects will give me dropped-frames upon playback. I know I can toggle a playback settings but how in the world is this suddenly necessary with a project that is 5% as demanding as my previous project??
In particular, the dropped-frames occur when I'm...
* generating basic text and adding a fade to the text
* cropping part of one shot
The specs are the following:
+ MacPro 2.8gb 8-core, 16gb RAM, Mac OS X 10.5.4, four internal hard drives at 500gb each
+ My OS and the FCP program are on Drive 1
+ My audio is on Drive 2
+ My visuals are on Drive 3
+ My FCP file and the render files are on Drive 4
+ The project itself is using footage from a Sony EX1 camera. I'm using audio from AIFF files. The progrmam is 2 minutes in duration. I'm using very little effects at all. 1 track of video. Four tracks of audio.
What's going? Why am I now, with this new/smaller project, suddenly getting dropped frames? Was the deletion process the culprit? What can I do?
Thanks,
ShankedDownload and run the demo version of iDefrag : http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php
Click the drive in question wait for it to build the map then switch to the tab labelled "Files" at the bottom of the window. Sort by #Fragments and the highest will be likely culprits. If you do buy this software change the algorithm to "Optimize" for best results for video. Run it using default settings for the rest of it.
For anyone else reading this I DO NOT recommend using defrag tools on the system drive or a RAID drive. This WILL make things worse for you. Only for use on single drive scenarios. The best way to defrag a RAID array is to move the files off to another drive, wipe the RAID clean then transfer the files back again (You can do this for any file system to improve performance). This will sort the files out again. OSX manages the rest until there is only 10% of your drive left (depending on how much deleting and writing of files happens in between - it's that which cause fragmentation).
In terms of the 'size' issue (which you have no real issue with) I guessed that you meant the duration and complexity of your sequences. It's true that sometimes if you have a lot of sequences open these will use up valuable RAM (as FCP is only 32bit it can only utilize 3GB of RAM at most) and so when it is trying to buffer, cache and output the video it can trip over itself. But your current problem is definitely down to dataflow off the drive and into FCP in time to decode and display the next frame. If it can't do it in time (within 0.03-0.04 seconds) then if detects an error and because you are in SafeRT mode it stops playback and displays the Dropped Frame error window.

I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.
Hi,
There are two easy fixes to this.
One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
Hope this helps! -
When I get a phone call or text message it will not make the sound. Just vibrate. But the switch is on normal. When I change it to vibrate the volume thing will not show. Nor will my up volume up key work. Is there any way to fix it?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Lose my internet access when I get a phone call
With my Time Capsule base station, every time I get a phone call to my wireless phone I lose my internet connection. Lately the only way to get it back is to unplug my DSL modem and have it restart. It seems that my wireless phone somehow disconnects my signal. The phone base station is closer to me than the time capsule but not sure that's an issue. I have set the robust setting which supposedly helps to address this but it's obviously not working. Anyone that's solved this I would greatly appreciate some advice. Not sure if this is something that AT&T could help me fix.
thanks in advance!
Sean Browne
La Honda, CaMy phone is a 5.8ghz and I don't see how to change that.
On my timecapsule I can select manual for channel but it appears to give me finer choices for both the 2.4 and 5ghz ranges (other channel numbers) however I can't appear to 'set it' to 2.4ghz. Not sure if I should just try different manual setting for channel... are you able to set it to the 2.4 channel somehow?
thanks -
When I get a phone call , then want to save the message, no keyboard comes up to type the name. How do I fix that?
You can open the Phone app then tap Recents then the blue 'i" in a blue circle at the right of the number then "Create New Contact" then tap a field such as "First" name and the keyboard should appear.

Why am I suddenly getting this message from a page I have been using for 6 months(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer) how do I get my page back?
Did you reset Firefox recently?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
If that is the case then you may have lost intermediate certificates that were stored in the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder.
Check out why the site is untrusted (see the Technical details) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
Some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
*Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
*Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane. -

I cannot get any phone call when my iphone is sleeping
Hi,everyone. I cannot get any phone call when my iphone is sleeping ( or locked ). After I active my phone, it will show how many call I missed. Does anyone have the same problem with mine? I tried reset, update software, but still not working.
to put your iPhone to sleep follow these steps:
1) press the sleep button once - screen will go dark and you'll hear a click.
2) press home button once - screen will light up with your wallpaper in the background, time, date, etc.
3) DO NOTHING for five (or so) seconds and then your iPhone will sleep.
if you receive a call, iPhone will wake automatically. otherwise to wake the iPhone, press the home button - iphone will wake. slide the unlock bar (enter pass code, if enabled) and use.
to return to sleep mode, repeat sequence (1 through 3)
doing this will allow calls to come through while Iphone is asleep and prolong the battery charge exponentially. -
My volume buttons won't work. Music plays when I get a phone call. That is the only time my speaker makes noise. My settings are how they should be, the top button is not on silent, I've shut my phone off many times, I've totally restored my phone. Help

Why am I suddenly getting the following error message: "The specified location is reserved by the operating system and is not permitted. Please choose a different location." I've been recording all night and I haven't changed any of the parameters.
Hi Tom,
Looks like we have problem here as we see another blank post from you here. It's probably something to do with your email. Let me send you a PM with my email address and we can communicate that way.
Thanks,

After upgrading to iOS8, I noticed whenever I get a phone call from my iPhone (regular call, not Facetime), my iPad Air rings.
How can I turn this feature OFF ? It's annoying having 2 devices ring at the same time.Settings>FaceTime>iPhone Cellular Calls>Off.

Why is the decline button for phone calls not available when the phone is locked? I need that button and it shows only when the phone is not locked on iOS 7
Yep. You need to touch the sleep/power button once to silence the ring, and twice in order for the call to go directly to Voicemail.
Personally, I dont understand why Apple eliminated this. If you wish to give Apple feedback, do it here:
