  • My pc has a virus I just downloaded song from pc to kids ipods now both ipods are not working correctly could the virus be in the ipods,  if not why are both not working doing the same thing right after unplugging from pc.

    Can an ipod get a virus from a pc that has a virus.  After connecting two different ipods to my pc to download music they both are not working correctly, could the virus have transferred to the ipod,  if not why would both ipods not work and be doing the same thing?  When trying to click on a game it just stays on the main screen.

    - I have not heard of a virus that can cause problem with an iDvice that has not been jailbroken.
    - Try resetting the iPods. 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.
    - Do you hve problems with one game? The same game on both iPods?
    Other apps?

  • Why does Imessage not work?

    Imessage has not worked for about 24h , it says "wrong password" but I'm 100% that it is the right one. No problems with App store or any other thing. Someone with the same Problem? Any one who know how to get it work again?

    I believe apple is having some troubles with their new update because ever since I updated to 6.0.1 on my iPhone 5 I have not been able to use iMessage or download off of wifi

  • TS2755 Why is iMessage not working and showing "not delivered" from both iPad and iPhone devices, apple needs to fix

    My iPhone and iPad are showing NOT DELIVERED when I send an iMessage although they do send and all my credentials are up to date, this is a problem among all my friends who are iMessage users.  Apple needs to correct and post resolution asap

  • Why is iMessage not working when I cross to Canada?

    I had no isssues till I upgraded to iOS 6 and from there.. iMessage stopped working when I'm at work even when connected to wi-fi. I put my iPhone on airplane mode so I don't get over charged and use the wi-fi at work to keep all data active but it seems iMessage stopped working on airplane mode even with a wi-fi connection. I even noticed that my iPhone no longer connects wirelessly to my iTunes when I'm at work.
    I live in the state of Michigan but work in Canada and when I cross I place the iPhone on airplane mode and just use the wi-fi but now after the iOS 6..iMessage doesn't seem to work till I cross back to the states, remove the airplane mode and all text including the iMessage texts come at once. I use iMessage to comunicate with my son (iPod). 

    Try signing out of iMessage and signing back in while in the U.S. That should resend the activation text message.

  • Why are tabs not working?

    Here is a screenshot to clarify the problem:
    http://screencast.com/t/8AFLpWXmqF
    The tabs in the light blue area does not activate, where it says "Firefox Help" i.e. "Desktop", "mobile", "Sign out", "Inbox" etc.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Why does iMessage not work on my iPhone but it works on my iPad?

    I am using an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1 and an iPad 1 with the same iOS version. I am traveling abroad so I am running in Airplane mode on WiFi on both. I have been using iMessage to keep in touch back home until two weeks ago it became almost useless on my iPhone. iMessage continues to work perfectly on my iPad. The settings are nearly identical minus my cellphone number not included in my iPad. I find that I have to close out of messages, double tap home, press and hold the messages app, and then close it for it to work intermittently. I have exhausted all of my ideas and can not find anyone with the same problem. I have restarted my iPhone several times. I have reset my iPhones settings. I have reset my iPhone entirely. None of these seemed to work. Any ideas?

    Many are experiencing this issue right now.  A phone reset or going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings resolves the issue.

  • Why is iMessage not working with iOS 7?

    I have reset my network settings, reset all settings, called AT&T and even called Apple but my iMessage STILL says "waiting for activiation" after 2 whole days. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? Every tried restoring it on my computer...

    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Yes, a simple search of the forums would have revealed that some users are experiencing issues.  Apple has acknowledged that a small percentage of users are experiencing problems and have announced they are working on a fix.
    Personally I have not experienced issues.    

  • Why does iMessage not work on my iPhone yet it works on my iPad?

    For some reason I can't send iMessages on my iPhone yet I can send them fine on my iPad. Both have been set up using the same iCloud and iTunes accounts so I don't understand why this is happening. I have checked that iMessage has been activated on my iPhone and it is running iOS 7.0.2. There are no error messages, it just shows 'sending' but doesn't actually send it. But if I send the message on my iPad it sends straight away and updates on my iPhone. Anyone got any ideas?

  • Why are you not working? I can't figure out why this works in 1 doc, and not in another

    I'm trying to take info from a cell on 1 spreadsheet and have it populate into a different one (pending if checkbox is true or not). I've been able to do it with 2 files but for some reason this one isn't doing what I need. If the checkbox is unchecked the text should stay in the new spreadsheet cell, if it's checked I want the row removed, but for reason instead of removing the row it just places a 0 in the cell.
    This is what I want:
    Like I said it works great on the other doc, just not on this new one. (the 2 docs vary with some of the text, but in the second image I've "checkboxed" out some of the text)
    Please help!
    Thanks!
    Nikki

    You may have the wrong cell reference  (B2) in the second part of your formula. If B2 is empty, the result will be displayed as a 0. Did you mean to have A2 in both parts of the formula?

  • Why does iMessage not work with people who I have previously iMessaged?

    For the past couple of days, I have been having issues with iMessage switching back and from from regular texting. I went to Settings>Messages and turned off the "send as an SMS" option. Which kind of solved the problem, but sometimes it's taking forever for it to say "delivered" underneath when it has sent.
    But the MAIN problem I am having is that with 2 of my contacts--who both have iOS5 and with both I have previously iMessaged--it doesn't say "iMessage" in the text box with a blue send button. It says "text message" with a green send button.
    Is there any way to fix this?
    Thank you for your help!

    You can only send a imessage if you are connected to the internet if there is low signal it will send the message normally
    It takes a while to say delivered because to recieve imessage the other person has to be connected to the internet so if they have a low connection it wont say delivered till they have a good connection

  • HT202853 I have many project made in move HD that are not updating to the new iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    I have many projects made in imovie HD that are not updating to iMovie 10 on my new iMac.  Why is this not working as stated on the article HT202853?  How do I get my projects back from backup after old iMac crashed?

    According to:
    Update projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014) - Apple Support
    you can update from iMovie versions 7, 8 and 9, but iMovie HD is iMovie 6.
    Maybe you can update in two steps, first from iMovie 6 to iMovie 7, 8 or 9 then to iMovie 10.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/
