  • Why does my status in the upper left say no service but I am connected to my wi-fi

    Why does my status in the upper left say no service but I am connected to my wi-fi

    No service refers to the availability of cellular service. If there was no Wi-Fi signal you would see only a dot instead of the Wi-Fi fan symbol.

  • Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

  • In the far left hand column, Devices keeps disappearing. I can get it back by downloading iTunes again but disappears again after I run disk utility.

    With a Device plugged in - place your mouse cursor over  DEVICES - you should see 'show' or 'hide'. Click on 'show'.

  • System beep every time I mouse to the lower left hand screen corner

    Can anyone help me with this?
    Every time I mouse to the lower left hand corner of the screen, I get a system beep.
    I am using a Mac Book Pro with a 24 inch Cinema Display attached.
    I do not use Expose or Spaces, I have no hot corners set.
    I have no hot corners set for the screen saver.
    Any suggestions?

    Sounds like the beep I get when I go to the upper right corner, for which I've set the "All windows" in expose. Try this: go to System Prefs >expose&spaces, and set your lower left corner for all windows. Then close system prefs, and throw your mouse into the lower left corner to activate expose. Then go back to system prefs and set that corner for nothing (just the dash). Now try it and see if that beep still happens.

  • Why does two iPhones show the same text

    MY sons iPhone and husbands iPhones are sharing the same texts and syncing with one another how to do I stop this

    Use a different Apple ID for iMessage on both phones.  (You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes.)
    One of you needs to go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a differert ID.  If you are sharing the same ID for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls.

  • Why does my iPhone forget the account info for my apps?

    I've been having a problem with my iPhone where my accounts for Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc. will not be remembered. I have to log in manually each time and every time I leave it will log off so I have to log in each time I leave an app. Is there a way to fix this?

  • Why does firefox give out the wrong address for me, it usually says I'm around LA, I live in Hemet

    I've noticed some web sites show my address around LA or up in northern Ca.. I live in Hemet, Ca. I cannot find anywhere where it is not my real address. This is getting very frustrating, when I want to look in my area for deals and it asks if I want to show my location, I say yes and it shows a map of usually around LA somewhere. Today I called a place I ordered something from and they said I ordered it in Pleasanton (where ever that is) How does that work. I've had this problem on another site. When it asks do I want to show my location it shows cities around LA. I'm in the same place for the last 4 years. Please help me. Where is it that it;s getting this info? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sam Scarcello

    This is not a Firefox settings, but rather one of these two things:
    *Your DNS settings on your computer are configured to show you in LA
    *Your router is setup with the incorrect area
    In either case, please contact a local IT technician.

  • After trying to download the iOS 6 update, my phone keeps saying "searching...", and that means it is not trying to activate??

    I have hooked it up to iTunes like the tech from AppleCare told me, we backed up the contacts, and tried to restore it to factory settings. It is still doing the "searching...." at the top of the screen. The tech told me to turn it off for an hour and he would call back but he thinks I need to go into an Apple store, and the closest one is an hour away. Not to mention, it is going to be crazy busy with 5 just coming out. If anyone has any information for me, I would really appreciate it, I am frustrated to say the least right now!

    Sorry, yes iTunes on your computer.
    When I updated my iPad 3 and iPod Touch 4th generation to iOS 6 a few months back, I was able to update the iPad effortlessly over WiFi. but I kept getting error messages when trying to update the iPod over WiFi, so I used iTunes on my MacBook Pro.
    Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update
    If you are using iTunes 11, go to View>Show Sidebar at the top - so the sidebar is visible.

  • Why does my iPhone ring when my iPad receives a text

    Why does my iPhone receive the same texts as me iPad

    Because they share the same iMessage account and the same "deliver to" address(s).  You can edit the receive addresses to be unique, but then people will need to know which one to send to to get the right device.  The whole point of iMessage is that your messages can be received on any iOS (or now OS X 10.8) machine that you set up with the same iMessage account and receive aliases.
    You can also set up the devices with completely different iMessage accounts, by using different AppleIDs to create the accounts.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?

    Why does my iPhone 5 take very grainy flash photographs in the dark will a hard reboot be safe to do to try to fix or is it a hardware issue?
    And By hard boot I mean holding the home and power button down at the same time for 10 seconds or whatever
    I see other people have these grainy flash photographs if you try to take a picture in darkness the picture comes out very dark and grainy I thought the software would ultimately fix this but it's been going on for over a year I usually take my photographs in daylight but I need this to be fixed
    If it is a hardware issue I hope Apple will replace my iPhone 5 because I was just waiting for one of the iOS updates to fix it I bought my phone in November 2012 its the iPhone 5
    Please help or advise if you can was this just a software or hardware issue I know Apple was aware of it but I was advised that iOS update would fix it but obviously not
    Is it safe to do a hard boot on my iPhone five by holding the power and home button at the same time for 10 or 20 seconds I saw someone said that fixed there's at least temporarily
    I'm typing this on my iPhone five right now why do the words go off to the left and right no matter if I hold the phone vertical or horizontal the words bleed off to left right so for me to proofread it I have to move my text left to right to proof read it
    Thank you

    The flash on a smartphone camera is tiny. It only lights up a very small area right in front of the camera. It won't light up the whole scene.
    Have you seen the size of the flash on a professional camera? Even they can't light a whole scene in the dark.
    Fact is, a smartphone camera is not capable of taking good photos in the dark, even with the flash.
    You'll need to buy and learn how to use a professional, dedicated SLR camera to be able to take good photos in the dark. It is not easy.

  • Why does my iPhone 4GS bounce of the TV

    Why does my iPhone 4S bounce of the TV (not flatscreen, old thick Philips) when I put the iPhone on top of it? It happens after some time, perhaps 20 minutes. The phone bounces of the TV and lands on the floor. The TV is off!

    Hi,
    That sounds like attention seeking behaviour.
    Step over it and ignore the antics.
    When it behaves in the fashion you expect it is OK to pick it up and follow the normal nurturing you use.
    If you do respond to it you will soon find yourself planning a zip line from your upstairs bedroom to the kitchen, coupled with a refusal to get in your pocket when you are ready to leave the house.
