  • Why does my iPhone4S not change orientation to landscape when turned in messaging but does turn in other functions?

    My iPhone 4S doesn't want to change orientation from portrait to landscape when turned - while in messaging.
    It turns fine in other functions...??

    What are these other apps? Because for some applications, landscape view is not possible, like calender.

  • Why does my iphone4 not charge from the wall when on? But will charge when on and plugged into my laptop? I've tried different wall plugs, charging docks.. Nothing works, not even car charger.. Anyone else having this issue since the update?

    My iphone 4 will no longer register my wall charger while on.. It WILL charge if turned off.. OR, if I plug it in to my laptop while on. Tried any different cords and plugs, all the same result.. REALLY REALLY frustrating!!

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • Why does yandex.ru load on to my computer when installing FF?

    I just purchased brand new computer last week, one of the first apps installed was FireFox 19.0, now if I type a partial address in the search bar looking for a site than stinking yandex.ru comes up.
    I am an American born and raised here, if I was Russian I might want yandex.ru, but I am not and I am highly ticked off this is happening and this is on my brand new computer after installing FF.
    Adblock.edge does not work and block it either, so does FF have yandex.ru files to install on an American computer now?

    Which search method are you using?
    *searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
    *search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
    *search bar on the about:home page (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename)
    *other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

  • Why does my ipod touch keep making weird noise when i plug in my headphone and when i put music it sound fuzy

    The other day when I was on my iPod touch (8 GB) I put on music but then something when wrong. When I plug in my headphone and put music on, it sounded like I was hearing music under water, and it sounded fuzy and weird. Then I unplug the headphone from my iPod touch (8 GB) and I got my computer and plug in my headphone and put music, and it sounded fine. What should I do about this?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
    iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
    Replace the jack yourself

  • Why does the wireless connection on my desktop disconnect when I plug in my Ipod Touch?

    Basically I just recently had my uncle build me a desktop computer and so far everything has been great but I noticed that everytime I plug in my iPod touch into it to charge it switches off my wirless adapter somehow making it impossible for my ipod to update or for me to use the internet. Then when I disconnect the iPod I can't firgue out how to switch the wireless adapter back one. Most of the time I have to use the windows troubleshoot to fix it. And sometimes it says that the wireless adapter had been reset or something?

    I have the same issue.  I believe this is an issue that has only developed since the last ITunes update since I have had no problem prior to this.  I have isolated the problem to be a conflict between ITunes and the AE1000 driver.  I have found no solution yet.  If you do find a solution please notify me.  Thanks. See my related post.  https://discussions.apple.com/message/20650864#20650864

  • Why does my iPhone 5 automatically launch iTunes Player when I plug it into my car stereo?

    Whenever I plug my iPhone 5 into my car stereo using my Apple USB, the iTunes Player automatically launches and starts playing music from my library. I'd really like to know how to stop this from happening as it's annoying as heck! When it happens, I have to open the player, select "now playing", pause it, swipe the player closed. I'm fully updated to 7.1 also. Thank you for any help you can offer!

    Surely there's a relatively easy fix for this but no Apple Rep wants to enlighten me Yet
    Come on guys .. this really drives me crazy a minimum of 5 times a day.
    What's the fix ?!?

  • Why does it say I have an invalid email when I try to set up sync?

    I have an ipod touch. I downloaded the firefox home app onto the device.
    I then tried to sync my home computer.
    When I try to set up a firefox home account I go to "tools", enter "set up a sync " and then enter "create a new account". A window comes up that "email address". As soon as I start to enter my email an "x" shows up followed by "this is an invalid email". What's up?

    Just keep typing until you have entered the entire email address.

  • Why does my iphone4 say searching/no signal

  • Why does my iphone4 keep losing some of my newly entered contacts?

    Why does my iphone4 keep losing some of my newly entered contacts?

    When an app is downloaded to your phone what is downloading is an installer. Once the installer downloads in installs the app and then is deleted. You can see a reference to this if you watch the App's icon in the App Store after you tap on download. It will first say downloading then that will change to installing. The amount of free space on your phone must be enough to accommodate the installer and the app plus have some left over for system work. You're just too close to the minimum for everything to work.

    Hello bigboza,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    Have a nice day,

    Why does my iphone4 sometimes say it can't move certain messages from my inbox to Trash?

    That would depend on how your wifi or cellular data signal is, if its weak you'll get that message.
