Why do I keep losing my GarageBand music that is saved on my icloud account one at a time? I have 4 gigs not used and just lost another.

I save all my garage band songs to the cloud. They are about 1.5 gigs worth of a 5 gig free account. If I don't access them for a few weeks I find maybe one will be missing. This has happened 2 times in the past 6 months. Again it's not an issue where I gust ran out of storage ether locally or on my icloud, they just seem to disappear. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem. It has happened twice in the last week. Nobody here has actually given a solution to the problem.
Here are the particulars:
-iPhone 4S
-iOS version 7.0.4
-Seems to only happen when I am home and the iPhone is synching with WiFi.
-The problem begins with a dialog window on the phone that requests that I re-enter my iCloud credentials.
-Within a few minutes/hours, all of the iCloud information is gone (contacts, calendars)
-Email seems to still work for the iCloud and all other email accounts (gmail, hotmail, etc.)
-The only way to get back the information is to re-boot the phone.
-Prior to the dialog window, nothing out of the ordinary has taken place.
-I am a little OCD, so I permanently close all running programs except for Mail, Messages, and Phone.
-Programs running prior to the problem could be many but typically I use Waze while driving home, and I would have closed it after I pull in to the garage. (My iPhone gets WiFi in the garage)
-The biggest drag is that when the contacts get cleared, any personal ringtones, or other identifiers get permanently cleared and have to be reassigned. That is the most annoying part.
What else does anyone need to know? It seems to be a thing, so when (and I'm sure it will repeat) it happens again I will throroughly check all suggestions.
I know how to fix it. I would like to know how to prevent it from ever happening again.

F.F. keeps telling me i need an ActiveX Plug-in but i can not find one for 3.5.11. This is the first time i have ever had a problem and totally lost here...please help. Jared

I was going to add some new ringtones to my cell and in trying to listen to the samples i keep getting the Firefox needs to an ActiveX Plug-in would i like to be directed to where it is but nothing there matches....
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== Every time i have tried to go to site to review ring tones...

Firefox, and most other browsers except IE, does not use ActiveX. See [[ActiveX]]
You can try this add-on to see if it will allow you to listen to the ring tones by using IE's rendering engine in a Firefox tab:

Why do I keep losing audio/recorded tracks and SFX in my projects? I have tried: Saving as archive file/searching package contents etc. to no avail. Can anyone help?

Why do I keep losing audio/recorded tracks and SFX in my projects? I have tried: Saving as archive file/searching package contents etc. to no avail. Can anyone help? It keeps telling me 'Audio file not found', and seems to be different tracks in the same project each time too.

I also have this problem using Garageband in a school network situation when students open their project on one station, save it to their network drive, and later open it at a different station. 90% of the time there will be no issue, but sometimes audio files are lost. (Garageband '11, iMacs)
That sounds like it might be a failure of the students to perform a Save As and check Archive Project when they do. This asks GB to pull all the files it needs into the associated .band document rather than point to them externally (and then risk not having them be there).

Why do I keep losing my "notes"?

Why do I keep losing my "notes"?

I have been losing notes off and on for almost 2 years now. Contract is almost up--will probably switch over to a Galaxy next time.
Notes are extremely important to me. I have NO idea why they disappear. Here is what I learned.
Originally the notes were backed up to my Yahoo account as many of you found out. When you lose one, you will find it in your Notes folder in your Yahoo email account. Similar backup with Gmail.
I started using iCloud for notes a month ago. The huge advantage is that you can compose or paste in large amounts of text from your desktop device, and they are pushed immediately to the iPhone. Editing is a breeze now.
But wait—what happens if you lose a note? I lost my main shopping list this morning while at Home Depot. iCloud is immediately updated, and the note is erased! No backup. So I have resorted to drafting emails of each note which are then saved in iCloud email Draft folder. Works for now, but a horrible workaround for what should be a robust app. Shame on you Apple.

Why do I keep losing signatures in Apple Mail after I select a signature in Preferences?

Why do I keep losing signatures in Apple Mail after I select a signature in Preferences?

When you connect your Mac back up to the Exchange server, it will “sync” what is on the server to your Mac, losing all those older emails. Don’t reconnect until you have moved them.
To move them, Drag them from the Exchange folders on Mail and into an iCloud folder. The emails will then be stored on iCloud instead of on the exchange server.
You could also just create mailboxes on your Mac and drag them into that. They wouldn’t be accessible to other devices, but you’d have them on your Mac.
To create new Mailboxes, Click the Add ( + ) button at the bottom of the Mailbox list and choose New Mailbox…
You can choose where that folder is stored, either under On My Mac for a local mailbox, or in your iCloud account which will make a folder on the iCloud server.
In the future, you need to start moving your emails to those independent mailboxes as you file them, and set up a rule that will move anything older than 50 days into a “catch-all” Mailbox you create on that same location (either On My Mac or iCloud). Mail Preferences, Rules.

Hi saer1964,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're not hearing sound when using Bluetooth connected to your car stereo. It can be difficult to say why this might happen, and there are some good troubleshooting steps that we can use to isolate or resolve the cause of this behavior.
I would start with the troubleshooting steps mentioned at these links:
iOS: Troubleshooting Bluetooth connections - Apple Support
If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit - Apple Support
These steps can help resolve many common issues with Bluetooth connections.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Why do I keep losing connection to my MIFI4510L

Why do I keep losing connection to my MIFI4510L. After a period of time this device disconnects from the internet. What do I have to do to correct this?

This seems to be a problem in various areas. I'm in Michigan north of Detroit, when they switched from 3G to 4G, reliability and speed dropped significantly. My first service calls were frustrating as the service tech told me I had unused WIFI setups on my PC and I needed to delete them. told him the device works everywhere else, but he was instant I delete the unused, imagine that fixed nothing. I was sent a replacement device (refurbished without a battery or back) which was worthless as it was different form what I have and could not be used, so I sent it back I have emailed the Customer Service VP for the region and after months of not getting the issue resolved I was told 4G service was in the process of being updated in my area and not to expect it to improve until sometime in 2013. Since the device detects 3G and 4G, it switches to 4G and connection often drops to 1 mbps and cannot even get a Google page. Under 3G, it was pretty consistent at 68 to 72 mbps. My options are to replace my 3G/4G device with a 3G only or change to a different service provider. I have a cottage basically on the fringe area and 3G connects at 68-72 99% of the time and outside of Boston, Washington north of Seattle (almost Canada), Texas, Chicago, etc, 4G works great, so it is not the device. Guess I'm not sure the push to 4G if they are not ready. Guess once the sale is complete they have you and if service is bad, oh well. The sad part, my current cell phone contacts are ending and I was seriously planning on leaving ATT to switch everything to Verizon based on service prior to the switch to 4G, but that does not make any sense now. My Apple 4G can be a hot spot and works great when I' m at home, but why pay for 2 different services. The other interesting note, I left Comcast due to poor service (internet was slow from 6am to 10pm or dropped completely) and now Verizon has teamed up with them... sure hope they are not the cause of poor internet service... like maybe Verizon is using them for internet service... I was told no... but problems started around the same time of the announcement. So based on responses from Verizon, I will check my other options. The commercials are great but reality is delivery, no so great.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

I have two itunes accounts. How can I sinc my music that I purchased, from my old account to my new account

I have an old itunes account . I recently got an IPhone which gave me a new Itunes account. How can I get all of the music that I purchased under my old account to transfer to my new account.

Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder
