Why does my iphone list our other devices in the bluetooth settings and what does the symbol at the bottom left hand corner of my lock screen mean?

I just upgraded by iPhone 5s to ios 8. Now I see my wife's IPhone 6 and our Ipad Air, which I also upgraded to IOS 8. Why does it do that. Also, when my phone is on the lock screen, and someone access safari on the ipad, I see a symbol at the bottom left corner of my phone screen. What is that for?

I am searching for answers to this as well. My daughter and I just started seeing what looks like a message bubble or a safari tab in the left corner Of the lock screen. We can also see something in the multitasking area. If I am on safari, she sees the icon and can touch it. It takes her to the safari page I am looking at! Also, I was typing in a group message, she touched the icon and it created a group message to those same people on her Phone. can just anyone invade my privacy like this? Or is it just because we are linked somehow? Can I turn this off?

Why is my college's logo showing up in the bottom left hand corner of my lock screen?

help

It's a Continuity feature, new in iOS 8. I believe it has to do with Handoff.
Are you connecting to your college's wifi? Do you have other Apple products with you?

Why does my library not show artwork in the bottom left hand corner anymore?

I have updated iTunes to the new version, but cannot find the settings to ensure the artwork for the music you are listenning too is shown in the bottom left hand corner. Have iTunes removed this feature?

What is the BIS pack and what does it allow?

Hi BBers,
just me again!
I read over this forum the last few days, and got my email/facebook/msn question fixed via going back to the telstra shop and getting a BIS pack for $10/m along with my 1GB data included in my cap plan.
So all emails working well ...
My next question is ... what is the BIS pack, and what does it allow me to do/use? it was 530pm when the sales lady got to me, so she whipped it up on the computer, and sent me packing saying it will all be good in 20 mins .... no real detail except "unlimited email" ... but im sure the other sales person when I bought my phone said "apps, msn, facebook and stuff" were covered by the BIS plan.
So please help me!!!
I have WiFi at home, and can connect to it, but now I dont know when Im using it, or the data pack, or the BIS haha its driving me (and my husband) nuts!
Ok, wait for replies, thanks for all views/posts.

Hello,
FYI -- "here", as in these forums (which are targeted at BB/RIM services rather than carrier services), would not be the best place to find out something specific for one carrier. With so many thousands of carriers with dozens of different plans each, it's pretty much impossible to keep track of the specifics. The generic information is this:
http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.php/What_do_I_need_a_Data_Plan_for%3F
But, there certainly can be variations on that given the different packages carriers put together. I do suggest you do as JSanders recommended -- contact your carrier and find out what you've signed up for.
Good luck!

My Green iPhone 5c "creaks" in the bottom left hand corner, would this be up to get a replacement? And if so, would I be able to get that replacement without AppleCare?

Recently I have noticed that my green iPhone 5c makes a creaking noise when I press in the bottom left hand corner, or sometimes when I press the home button. I was wondering if this would be up for replacement, since I got this around Christmas of 2013. I do not have AppleCare either, so I was wondering if I would be able to get replacement without it as well.

Why is there a slightly dark spot on the bottom left hand corner on my iPod Touch 3rd Gen after I cleaned it?

I was cleaning it and when I turn it on again there's this dark spot in the bottom left hand corner and I was like what? So I rebooted my device and it was still there. It still works but I'm afraid it might break. I've cleaned this many times before and this never happened! Please Help! *sobs*

Weird things happen at factories. After onboxing my new phone I took the plastic off and it had a small fingerprint on the side. I didn't even touch the phone.

On that last software update we (my family) have noticed on all our iPhone devices there is a huge gitch problem with our devices. My phone is an 4s but the other devices a brand new phones and they started since they updated the software they are having

A concern we've noticing since we have updated the lastest software... Our phone keep glitching and it's moving extremely slower than usual. I have the 4s and my kids have the newer phones 5c and the 5s. Is this a on going problem and if so when is it going to be fixed because this is terrible. Very disappointed customer. I was waiting on the newer iphone for myself but if apple can't get things straighten out with software I will have to consider your competitors. I have majority apple products and so far I am hating the issues I am having. Please fix soon. Thank you.

My ipad pick ups the wi-fi signal but not the router settings and therefore will not connect to the internet, what am I doing wrong?

I only bought the Ipad 2 yesterday, and as of yet have been unsuccessful with connecting the Ipad to the internet. I have followed all of the instructions provided and have contacted both the provider of the Ipad and my internet service, all to no avail! The Ipad shows that it is connected to the wi-fi but on checking the details on the selected IP address the number begins with 169 (I understand that this could be the problem) however when you ask for "renew lease" it doesn't change the number. The Ipad is also not picking up any of the router details. Hope I've provided enough info for any help!

The problem could be due to your router or your iPad. To isolate the problem test your iPad on some other networks.
If it has problems on other networks your iPad probably has a problem. You could try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings to see if that corrects the iPad problem. If that does not help your iPad may need repair/replacement. Contact Apple to resolve.
If the iPad does not have problems on other networks the problem may be in your router. You could try restarting your router (remove power to it for 30 seconds and restart) to see if that helps, however, there could be a firmware problem in your router. Check the manufacturer's support Web page to obtain the latest firmware for your router.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Will doing the software update to 6.1.2 destroy any info saved on my iPhone 4? If so how do I back up what is on there - especially the contact list?

You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

I have Sun Life Financial bookmarked and when I click onto it, as it is trying to get on the site, the https tool bar goes wonky. Then the pinwheel comes on and I have to force quit. This does not happen on our other apple computer only on my new one

I have not used this app before so please excuse me if I am duplicating my question. I am trying to get onto one of my books marks but when I click on it, it starts going all wonky in the https bar. Then the pinwheel comes on. When I force quit and then go back into Safari it comes up on that company website but a different section that is asking me to check the date on my computer and some other things that could be a problem. This does not happen on our other mac only my new lap top. This problems only started this weekend. Any ideas?

Thanks for the response.
I attempted to remove cookies, but I can not identify any of the cookies on the list with the PrimeVest web site. No PrimeVest, no PVs, nothing that looks like it came from them.
I have also reported the problem to PrimeVest and their tech did answer. He suggested erasing the browsing history (temporary internet files), which I did with no effect. He also had me check for the correct starting page address, which was OK. He stated that they are aware of a problem and it is on their list. No indication of how far down that list though. His only cure was to use IE for now, which I was already doing. Perhaps he can tell me which cookies to remove.
