  • HT4623 Why I cannot use the new feature of phone after I upgraded to ios 6???

    I have already upgraded to iOS 6, but why I still cannot use the new feature of phone??
    I cannot reject calls by sending them message.  What happen??

    While ios 6 is compatable with the iPhone 4, many of its features are not available for the 4. The features need the 4s or 5. See here:
    Turn-by-turn navigation is available only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 or later with cellular data capability. Flyover is available only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch (5th generation). Cellular data charges may apply.
    Siri is available in Beta only on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad (3rd generation), and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires Internet access. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area.  Cellular data charges may apply.
    FaceTime video calling requires a FaceTime-enabled device for the caller and recipient and a Wi-Fi connection. FaceTime over a cellular network requires iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPad (3rd generation) with cellular data capability. Availability over a cellular network depends on carrier policies; data charges may apply.
    Offline Reading List is available on iPhone 4 or later, iPad 2 or later, and iPod touch (5th generation).
    Made for iPhone hearing aids require iPhone 4S or iPhone 5.
    Panorama is available on iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPod touch (5th generation).
    Find My iPhone and Find My Friends enable you to locate iOS devices only when they are on and connected to a registered Wi-Fi network or have an active data plan.

  • Why Cant I use the copy and paste command in elements 7.0?

    I want to create gifs using images I created, but each time I try to use the copy command (ctrl+c) after the selecting the image, It wont allow me to.It keeps saying its because of a program error. I updated it, but I still cant use the copy command?
    help me please....

    See if resetting the photoshop elements 7 preferences clears things up:
    Restore all preferences to default settings  
         Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop Elements. You are prompted to delete the current settings.  
    New Preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop Elements.  

  • Can I have an iPhone 5s that doesn't use the fingerprint to unlock the phone?

    I want the 5s but I don't like the idea of my phone storing my fingerprint. Can I get the 5s but set it to where i unlock it with a passcode and not the fingerprint scanner?

    Dude.  Once your personal biometric data has been gathered and digitized, it will be available to anyone that is determined enough to get it. PERIOD.  Think of all the other times Apple has said they were not collecting data and it turned out they were.  Think about the recent NSA discussions of backdoors that allow the monitoring of email and other data.  Apple has not come out and said clearly that their A7 chip doesn't have a backdoor, or that there is absolutely no way your fingerprint data could not be accessed and collected.  If it can be stored and retrieved by the iOS on the phone, it can ultimately be accessed by bad guys that are determined enough.  I'm done.  I'm not interested in any device that collects such data.  Why would anyone allow their person and privacy be invaded in that way?  Of course if you buy the phone and agree to the EULA you have consented to the collection and use of this information.  Enjoy!

  • Why cant i use my email to unlock my phone

    my phone is locked and it keeps telling me i cant use my apple ID to unlock it.

    Did you recently update the phone? It sounds as if you have encountered Activation Lock. You will need the Apple ID and password that was originally used to activate the phone. Was this phone purchased new, and you are the only one that has used it, or was it purchased used?

  • Why cant i use the filer gallery option in photoshop

    Is there any reason as to why I cannot select the Filter Gallery option in photoshop cc. I noticed it is not with all my images.

    What do you mean, "not with all my images?"
    The menu needs to be made visible via the Preferences - Plug-ins panel.
    After that, your image needs to be 8 bits/channel RGB in order to use the Filter Gallery features.  Adobe has not updated all these filters to handle deep data (16 bits/channel or higher) images directly.

  • Why cant I use the screen record feature on quicktime 7.7.2

    i have recently got apple QuickTime player 7.7.2 pro. One of the main reasons I got it is because i knew in past versions they had the screen record feature, but on the 7.7.2 pro version it didn't. i was disappointed that it didn't have the feature that the other versions had. before i got it i decided to update the version I had (The one with the screen record feature) and now i wish i didn't update it. I think the screen record feature was cool and i dont know why its gone. Also i am using windows.

    QuickTime Player Pro has never included screen capturing features.
    QuickTime X (found in Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion) does include screen capture features.

  • I have Adobe Presenter 9  Why cant I use the Application Simulation in the Ribbon?

    Any Help ?
    Its Grayed out, whats the point of it being there if it doesnt work?

    Hello,
    You need to have Adobe Captivate installed on your machine for this feature to work.
    If Presenter does not find Captivate, this feature will be grayed out.

  • Why cant i use the internet if my wifi says it has a strong signal

    my wifi at home is connected to my ipad and it shows a strong signal, but it wont work for any apps that need internet or the web browser. how can i fix this promblem ive tried reseting the network settings and that worked for like a minute and now im having the same problem

    You may think you are connected to the internet, but maybe not. Click on Safari and see if it connects.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    What you are looking for is only available for iOS 5 and above.  You will need to connect your iPhone to a computer and update through iTunes as always.

  • Why I don't use the fingerprint reader in my 5S

    I loved the fingerprint reader when I first used it, until I noticed one thing: When you enable the fingerprint passcode unlock, you lose the ability to set a duration of the "Require Passcode" option to anything other than "Immediately". If I'm txting or driving with my navigation app, I constantly need to be able to get in and out of the phone, and it's very inconvenience to have to swipe the notification on the lock screen and then have to use my fingerprint to get in. I want to still be able to only have it require a passcode after x minutes, even if I use the fingerprint option. For that reason I have turned off the fingerprint feature. Is there a workaround? Does anyone else find this anoying?

    Not sure what you are asking. Does your account not work on your phone, are you getting an error message ?

  • How are you using the Namespace Prefix?

    As the subject says...
    The top-level namespace prefix looks very useful for segregating projects into their own namespaces...is this what this is for, or does SAP have another recommended use for this prefix?
    The vendor name already makes the namespace unique to a corporate entity (if you use the domain name), so anything after that is really only of importance to the internal development environment...

    Even if your development isn't that big, using the 'name space prefix' would allow you to further segregate your codebase. 
    This also becomes important when your domain name is rather long - 15 characters.  Take away four or so more for the namespace prefix, and you're left with 20 characters for the DC name.  Add in a few separators, and you're down to 12-15 characters.
    Obviously, readability can suffer when you start to abbreviate too much, so I'm looking for best practices when it comes to the namespace prefix.
    Thanks for your comment.

  • DO YOU HALF TO USE THE FINGERPRINT TO LOCK YOUR IPHONE 5S

    Actually, you are never required to use the fingerprint sensor.  You can always unlock your iPhone and make purchases just as if your iPhone did not have such a sensor.
