Why does Do Not Disturb only work when the iPhone is locked?

I've been wanting for awhile now a way to easily turn off all notification alerts and incoming calls while keeping cellular data and wi-fi on so I can use my phone in peace without gimping my wireless connections, and even though iOS 6 as a whole seems awesome to me, I'm disappointed Do Not Disturb only works when the iPhone is locked.

Was just wondering if other people felt the same way I do and start a discussion about it so maybe that with more people talking about it, Apple would pay attention to it more. People complaining about how calls and alerts were lighting up their screen at night seems to be some inspiration to why Apple added Do Not Disturb in the first place. Didn't know I was doing anything in violation of the Terms of Use so sorry about that.

Why does my iPod Nano only work when it is plugged into the computer?

My iPod nana is a 4GB iPod and it does not work at all until it is plugged into my computer. It works perfect when it is plugged into the computer. It will not even turn on if it is not plugged in.

By the sounds of it, the Nano's battery is shot and in need of a replacement. You can have replace the battery for a flat fee or send it to a third party repair company for a little less.
Not much else you can do in terms of troubleshooting this issue.

Why does my mobile site only display in the iPhone and not the Samsung Galaxy?

Hi,
I created a mobile version of my Muse site. After publishing it to the temporary Catalyst site, I went to view it on my Samsung Galaxy Victory; it displayed properly the first couple of times I viewed it. Then I made some changes and re-published it and I can only see the desktop version on my phone. I tested it on my co-worker's iPhone and the mobile site displayed correctly on her phone.
Any insight??
Thanks,
Myriam

Why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 is turned off

why does the alarm not work when the iphone 4 for is turned off works fine when on most other phones work when off

The only phone I've ever had that would turn on and sound the alarm is a Blackberry. So, I'd hardly say "most phones" have this function.

Why the alarm dosn't work when the iphone off?

why the alarm dosn't work when the iphone off?i make alarm then i switch the phone off .but the alarm didn't work .in the past nokia phones it was work

"Standby" (or "Sleep" is the phone's normal state when not in use. "Off" is when the phone is totally shut down by holding down the Sleep button the doing the "Slide to Power Off" on the screen.
If you believe it is dangerous to be in the same room as an iPhone, your question is pointless. I suggest you invest in a clockwork alarm clock.

Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

Why does it take 10 days to replace the iPhone or iPad in the Czech Republic? I am considering a change to Samsung!

Why does it take 10 days to replace the iPhone or iPad in the Czech Republic? I am considering a change to Samsung!

It will probably take a week and three days to replace your Samsung in the Czech Republic. In the U.S., if I sent my iPhone or iPad in for warranty work, it would take 7-10 days as well. Yes, I do have the option of taking it to an Apple Store, which you may not be able to do. Samsung doesn't have stores at all in the U.S. I would be dependet on my carrier for warranty replacements.

"This accessory is not made to work with the iPhone"

Makes sense right? Yes, that is if there's something plugged into it that the iPhone doesn't support. Problem is, there's NOTHING plugged into my phone. This message literally pops up every 5-10 seconds, and below the message it asks if I want to turn on airplane mode to reduce audio interference or something. Has anyone experienced this problem? I've heard of it being fixed by popping out the sim an popping it back in, didn't work - plugging in headphones an unplugging them, didn't work. Is my dock connector shorted? If that's the case I can just buy a new dock connector for $30 on ebay, take apart my phone an replace it an everything should be good then right?

Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.

We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Why does my network connection time out when downloading iphone 4 software update?

Why does my network connection time out when trying to download iphone4 software update?

I'm having the same problem too. I cannot sync or update over wireless or wired connections ever since I installed the most recent iTunes update. iTunes goes through the complete OS 5.0.1 download only to tell me the connection has timed out just when it seems ready to install. I've since reinstalled iTunes, I've ejected and done hard restarts on both my problem devices. I've disabled anti-virus, anti-malware, and firewall. No change in outcome except that, after doing all this, my final attempt to simply sync my 1st Gen iPad led to iTunes crashing and being automatically closed by windows just before finishing the final step. Is this a cruel joke, because I'm certain I can hear iTunes laughing at me for wasting so much time on this.

Why does URLStream complete event get dispatched when the file is not finished loading?

I'm writing an AIR kiosk app that every night connects to a WordPress server, gets a JSON file with paths to all the content, and then downloads that content and saves it to the kiosk hard drive.
There's several hundred files (jpg, png, f4v, xml) and most of them download/save with no problems. However, there are two f4v files that never get downloaded completely. The complete event does get dispatched, but if I compare the bytesTotal (from the progress event) vs bytesAvailable (from the complete event) they don't match up; bytesTotal is larger. The bytesTotal (from the progress event) matches the bytes on the server.
The bytesLoaded in the progress event never increases to the point that it matches the bytesTotal so I can't rely on the progress event either. This seems to happen on the same two videos every time. The videos are not very large, one is 13MB and the other is 46MB. I have larger videos that download without any problems.
[edit] After rebooting the compter, the two videos that were failing now download correctly, and now it's a 300kb png file that is not downloading completely. I'm only getting 312889 of 314349 bytes.
If I paste the url into Firefox it downloads correctly, so it appears to be a problem with Flash/AIR.
[edit] I just wrote a quick C# app to download the file and it works as expected, so it's definitely a problem with Flash/AIR.
Here's the code I'm using:
package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.net.URLStream;
    [SWF(backgroundColor="#000000", frameRate="24", width="640", height="480")]
    public class Test extends Sprite {
        private var fileSize:Number;
        private var stream : URLStream;
        private var url:String = "http://192.168.150.219/wordpress2/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/John-Butler-clip1.f4v";
        public function Test() {
            if (stage)
                init();
            else
                this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
        private function init(e:Event=null):void {
            this.removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
            stream = new URLStream();
            stream.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onLoadProgress);
            stream.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
            stream.load(new URLRequest(url));
        private function onLoadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void {
            fileSize = event.bytesTotal;
            var percent:Number = event.bytesLoaded / event.bytesTotal * 100;
            trace(percent + "%");
        private function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void {
            trace("loaded", stream.bytesAvailable, "of", fileSize);
            // outputs "loaded 13182905 of 13184365"
            // so why is it "complete" when it isn't finished downloading?

Thanks for your quick reply !
I am relatively new to programming so please bear with me on this as I still haven't managed to grasp some of those things that "make perfect sense". If I am setting mouseEnabled to false doesn't that mean that the object no longer gets MouseEvents ?
If I have understood you correctly then once the mouseEnabled is set to false the btn object is removed from the objects recognizable by the mouse - hence dispatching a mouseout event (and I am guessing here) from the mouse?
I still don't get it though, if the listeners are set to the object and the object is no longer accessible to the mouse why is the event still being dispatched ?
I get it that the making of the object unavailable to the mouse causes the "removing" (deactivating) of the object from under the mouse,
step 1. deactivate object, and step 2. (as a result of step 1) register the removal of the object.
but why is the mouse still listening after step 1?
Even if the action is that of "out" (as in the object is no longer under the mouse) it still is an action isn't it ? so haven't we turned off the listening for actions ?
I promise I am not trying to drive you crazy here, this is just one of those things that I really want to get to the root of !
Thanks,

Why does Firefox not make visible some of the content on a major corporations employee webpage, although I've tried several things, they work in IE and Chrome?

The website is https://pshrwb200.jcpenney.com and after I log in, the website comes up but none of the images load. I tried disabling the Adblock Plus and a few other things (no proxy settings, allowed in pop-ups, etc.) which Firefox's help suggest and again nothing works. Also, like previously mentioned, IE and Chrome have no problem with this. Thanks for your help on this matter.

The website gave me access denied so I can't reproduce this.
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
If you created this file yourself, disregard this step
it looks like user.js is currently active in Firefox. The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release. You can get to the profile folder below:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Show Folder
or
*Go to '''about:support''' and click Show Folder next to Profile Directory.

Why does my iRadio Station stop working when I move the slider?

I have chosen to create a station using the station Lindsey Stirling Radio that pops up when you type her name. This station will play if I simpy create it and play it. When i click on the little "i" in the circle at the top of the station I get the page that allows you to "Tune This Station". If I move the slider from "Hits" to "Variety" or "Discovery" the station no longer plays music. The album picture appears as a station but nothing happens when i tap it. Anyone have an idea why this would occur?

tried reset, then a restore and even vacuumed the mic and it still won't work while the speaker is activated
use of earphones uses mic normally
is there some echo cancellation circuitry that could have failed?
