  • Why can't I use WebCT chat with my computer?  I get the 'spiral of death' every time I try to type in my chat.  I have a feeling it has to do with compatibility issues between Java and Tiger.

  • Why can't I sync my phone with my computer after both the ios7 and Itunes 11.1 updates?

    I just recently purchased the new iPhone 5s and have been very happy with it.  At the same time I updated my itunes to the newest version 11.1.0.126.
    Since the initial syncing, I have been unable to complete the syncing process.  It progresses all the way through stalls out on step 5 "Downloading Safe Safari Browising Data".  Is there anything i can do to fix this issue?

    Which is precisely why I am frustrated with how proprietary Apple is.  No matter how much people try to spout out about the superiority of Apple products, my iPhone should be able to grab music from my laptop and my PC at home, both being authorized already.  I've already tried home sharing.  I didn't buy the iPhone outright, it was provided to me through work.  For all the Apple and Mac only fans, I feel this is Apple's way of trying to make me purchase music I have already bought on CD through iTunes.  Whatever happened to ease of use?  Customer friendly applications?  Anyone else dislike how hard it is to add artwork to an album in iTunes after you load a CD and it doesn't recognize it?  Track by track?  How about offering one simple, convenient copy and paste to album like in Windows?  Oh, yeah, so you give up and buy it again in iTunes.  I do like the interface on the iPhone or iPod once things are working properly, however the hoops you jump through are ridiculous.  I want to load music off of my laptop, after having most of my library on another PC, and it won't work without deleting the library off of the phone.  What is the point of authorizing up to 5 computers if you can't use your music from those different machines?  There, I'm getting off of my soap box now.

  • Trying to get the mic on my headphones to work with my computer

    I have headphones (with a microphone) specifically for online gaming and I can't get them to work with my computer.
    The headphones have one plug for headphones and one plug for speaker. The speaker isn't working and in preferences for sound input I selected "audio line in port" but it's not picking anything up when I talk into it.
    Course my computer doesn't have a plug with a microphone symbol for it to work. Will this microphone work for my computer? Am I doing something wrong?

    The Mac has line-level audio input, not mic-level. You options are:
    Use the microphone in the PowerBook.
    Plug your headset's mic plug into the line-in jack, set the line-in gain at maximum, and shout.
    Get a mic pre-amp for your headset.
    Get a headset with built-in mic pre-amp.
    Get an USB headset.
    Use an USB mic adapter, such as the iMic

  • My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes.  I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes.  There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE.  How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    Why can I no longer use AirPlay with my Slingbox?  New updates break complatibility?

    You already seem to know what the issue is, it is the parallax feature that was added to iOS 7.  From your rant, it appears that your attempt to work around this was not successful.  According to the Apple documents I've seen, they recommend that you enlarge your image (not reduce it).  Make your image have excess space on all sides, which is not displayed on the screen.  This way, when you tilt your device one direction or another, it can shift the image to give the appearance of 3D. 
    As a photographer, I like to use the full frame of my images, but I also know that I need to leave room around the image as well.  I have some photos I have taken that I can't use because I have them cropped too tightly too, but I have others that work just fine.  Just remember that part of the image file is "off screen" so that if iOS has to shift the image up it has some image that can scroll onto the screen.  It needs this space on all sdes, so just make youre images larger, and keep in mind that a portion on each side will be outside the normally visible screen...  If you don't like this feature, you can always go into the settigns and turn it off.

  • Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime

    Why Model MD297AE/A is not working with Fcae time and Model MD293C/A is working in UAE with Facetime.
    In fact I have given my iPhone to my daughter to use in Canada (purchased from UAE ISP) she is unable to use Face Time within Canada. ?
    Is it possibile to activate FaceTime in Canada if iPhone is purchase from UAE.
    Purchase under Points by ISP (No contract)
    Thanks
    Abbas

    Hello sir
           I agree what u replied for the above question, but because of the UAE request, you cannot deactivate the facetime completely from this iphone, they should stop working through SIM network. The iphone is a universal mobile which can travel all over the world, many tourist people will suffer due to that, pls re-consider in taking back and try to make it upgrading this software.
    Thanks

  • Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    Numark im1 works with 2nd generation ipod touch can it be made to work with 4th generation

    You neglected to mention that the Numark iM1 is a piece of hardware (a physical box) that plugs into an iPod.
    Checking on the Numark website, I suspect they haven't bothered to update their "iPod compatibility" page, since there's no specific reason (as far as I'm aware) why an App that worked with a 2nd gen Touch shouldn't work with a 4th gen model. Is that page where you looked and were then prompted to ask your question?
    You might have more success in finding an answer to your question by contatcing the manufacturer (Numark) via their website or checking with a retailer who stocks the iM1. Numark appear to welcome email contact about their products.

  • Griffin GuitarConnect Cable works with garageband?

    hi,
    is the Griffin GuitarConnect Cable work's with the garageband app or only with the ishred live app?

    So I guess I need help with two questions.
    1. is it that easy to incorporate her piano (keyboard) music into Garageband?
    Yes.

    I believe they will. One benefit of those keyboards is that they are also independent. You can turn them on and play without connecting them to the computer.
    A keyboard controller, on the other hand, has no sounds of its own, and so is solely designed to work with a computer (i.e. an application like Garageband). Examples of keyboard controllers are:
    http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?ID=USBkeyboardcontrollers&do=products.family
    A friend of mine actually had one of those Yamahas, didn't use it much, then moved on to one of the keyboard controllers in the link.
    Stepping back a bit, it's hard for anyone to evaluate what's best for your daughter without knowing the circumstances, from her interest to your resources.
    If someone gave me either one of those keyboards at age 12, I'd have a lot of fun with it for maybe... 10 minutes. The physical keyboards on those models are flimsy and not very satisfying to play. They feel and sound like toys to me - they're not all that substantial. However, I was pretty interested in music growing up, so having an instrument I could sink my teeth into mattered.
    On the other hand, those Yamahas are more than enough for many adults, let alone kids. So maybe it's a good "starter" keyboard.

    This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
    I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
    I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
    So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
    That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
    All the music is on an 2T external drive.

    TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
    Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
    I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

  • What composite video cables work with iphone 3GS firmware 3.0??

    I want to buy the cheapest possible AV composite cable for my iphone 3GS with firmware 3.0.
    What cables can I buy that'll work with these requirements??
    Thanks!

    You need to purchase the Apple Component AV Cable or the Apple Composite AV Cable. 3rd party cables won't work with the iPhone - there's an encryption chip in the the Apple cables that is required.

    I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161.  Any ideas?

    The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
    Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
    Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.
