Why does Messages not list message threads by date/time even when selected?

Every thread in messages list messages out of date/time order even when selected. How does one correct this or get them in the order I want? Thanks!! BF

HI,
This happened with the Messages Beta as well as the full version in Mountain Lion.
In both cases if one device was Off line whilst a conversation was going on the sync process when the device was turned on would not be instant.
It would fill in (sync) more like an only slightly speeded up chat.
Consequently if you were moving from a iPhone conversation to the Mac and turned the Mac On your Contacts new IMs could be mixed up with the Sync info arriving.
At the same time even though the whole IM sending thing is time stamped there appears to be no way that the App or the iPhone or the Mac can recognise the timing and move them into the right order.
There seem to be more reports of the Mac being Off and not updating the conversation properly than there are iPhones doing the same.
That could be done to this area being about the Messages app compared to the iPhone Area.
It could also be down to the way people hold their conversations in the first place.
i.e. we know about it but it is outside our ability to suggest something that fixes this.
For the points

Why does the YouTube app say playback error every time even when I have wi-fi

When I try playing a video it keep saying playback error even when I have wi-fi on. This has happened a few days ago.

I notice that the WiFi is "white", like all good KitKat icons, instead of White for connected with no internet, and blue for fully functioning.
The 1x right next to it seems very dim. If I turn off WiFi, the 1x gets bright white, and has the up/down arrows under it.
If having the icon on my status bar all the time means that I actually will get data when I leave WiFi, then it's a winner.
I "hotspot" a lot, and I used to have to make sure I had a data connection and launch the hotspot before I got on a phone call, because the only way to get it to connect was to power cycle the phone.

Texting on iPhone 5. When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order?

Texting on iPhone 5. When texting to multiple people why does the contact list return to the "A"s after you select a contact and try to add the next one in order? This really slows you down when trying to contact 50 people with information. iPhone 4 worked just fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures. Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
No, that's just wasting space. A back up needs to be on a different disk.
Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

HT201401 Why does my iPhone 3G keep turning off by itself even when it's not dead?

My dad had his iPhone 3G and gave it to me when he had an upgrade. He never had the issue of it turning off by itself, but when he gave it to me, all of a sudden it decided to turn off by itself even when it was on like 80% still.
I took it in to the Apple Store near me and they said that I had too much "stuff" on it, mostly music.
So, I completely redid my phone. I reset it completely so that it looked like a completely new iPhone. And then downloaded only 12 apps and 195 songs. And, only about 50 pictures. (This is an 8 gig by the way)
Right now, there's less than 4 gigs on there so far meaning I still have more than half of my phone to fill. They guy at the store said it needs 2 gigs to run.
SO, it should have started working since theres way less stuff on there now, and more than enough space to run. Why does it keep turning off still though?
It's so annoying and inconvenient. If anyone could help it would be SO appreciated.
THANKS!!

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as a new device. Go through each step in succession until your issue is resolved.

Why does Apple not offer Logic Pro X as an extra when you buy a 13" MacBook Pro online? Is Logic not suited for the 13"?

Hi Guys,
Is there a reason that Apple does not offer Logic Pro X as an extra when buying the MacBook Pro 13" online?
I understand that the screen is probably a bit small, but I need the portability (recording in studio/gigs etc), and will be plugging it into a bigger monitor when I am working at home.
I cannot afford the 15", and an iMac is not an option, due to portability.
Also, for music production (audio tracks and midi, with plugins), would you guys recommend I upgrade to the 2.9Ghz i7 and 8bg RAM?
Thanks!

http://www.apple.com/logic-pro/ has a "Buy Now" in blue to add it to your store cart.

Why does safari not update to 5.1 on macbook pro when running lion 10.7.1

my macmini is running lion server and safari 5.1. my iMac is running lion and safari 5.1. my macbook pro is running lion and safari 4.0.4 and update is stating that there are no updates available.
how does one force an update to safari 5.1 for lion in this situation?

my macbook pro is running lion and safari 4.0.4 and update is stating that there are no updates available.
Did you move or copy the Safari application? It should be in the Applications folder at the top level of your startup volume.
There is no downloadable installer for the Lion version of Safari.

Why does my powerpoint keep correcting my language as wrong even when i default to english from french?

My professor uploads a powerpoint that the class downloads for in class notes. Every time i'm in class taking notes, the program red underlines all of my words saying that they're incorrect. So in attempt to prevent that I went to tools>language>Delft English language (from french) and pressed OK. IT WORKED! then..... I went to my next slide to proceed to take notes and there it is again.... WHY is it doing this to me after I defaulted it over twenty times in one sitting???

Probably best to search/ask in the forums run by the people who make that stuff:

Why does version 24 no longer remember usernames and passwords, even when it's selected to remember? I installed it on 2 of my computers, XP pro and XP home op

On both of the computers, it does not remember the password or usernames, on XP pro the selection box's are shaded and un-selectable, and on XP home they are selected but it does not remember them either!

Do you mean names and passwords in the Password Manager or do you mean that you are no longer logged on to (remembered by) websites after closing and restarting Firefox?
There is a difference between remembering the name and password in the Password Manager and a "remember me" check box on a web page to log you in automatically.<br />
The latter usually involves the creation of a special "remember me" cookie that is stored on your computer and that is send to the server.<br />
If that "remember me" cookie is removed or gets corrupted or is not send to the server then the server won't remember you anymore and you need to sign in once again.

Why does Ical want to change the original dates to 2001 when syncing from my iPhone?

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help with this as its driving me up the wall
over the last few weeks I upgraded to Lion running 10.7.1 and until then my Iphone synced everything fine without any problems I have an Iphone 3G running 4.2.1 and when I sync now I get the Ical sync alert saying that more than 25% of my calender events will change on my computer.
When I look nothing has changed accept the origianl date which is 1/1/2001 for anything that is being taken off my phone onto Ical and also for anything that is already on Ical, I keep telling it to sync later but everything I try it always comes up the same.
I asked during the week in at the Apple store but was adviced that this problem had not been heard of before and to book both my phone an macbook in for a genius bar appointment.
Anyone else come accross this problem or is it just myself?
Kind regards Andy ;0)

Anyone able to help with this problem at all its still doing my head in ;0(

Why does a photo appear as a thumbnail, but goes black when selected to view in full?

I recently downloaded about 25 photos on my MacBook Pro with OS – X 10.9.4. Five of the photos appear as thumbnails, but when I select them to show in full screen, screen is black. When I move the thumbnail photo to downloads and call the photo up, it showed that there is no data. This is the first time I've experienced this problem, and I've downloaded hundreds of pictures with his camera. What gives?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

Why does my ipod touch 5th generation completely shuts off even when its charged and then doesnt turn back on?

This is very frustrating. Like three months ago my ipod touch, 5th generation, just turns off out of no where. It will be charged and working fine but then the screen goes completely black and I can't turn it on. But then after like a day or so it turns back on and works until it decides to shut off again. And the cycle repeats. I'm scared its going to break for good.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still reoccurs, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

This is a user to user forum. Apple isn't here and won't answer you. You need to contact Apple directly. You can use the Contact button at the bottom of the screen.
