  • HT4623 Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 with the iOs 6.1.3 update

    Hi why does my itunes always say "error contacting server" when i update my iPhone 5 (iOs 6.0.2) with the iOs 6.1.3 update?

    Hey Tigergirl17,
    Thanks for the question. If you haven't already done so, you may want to update iTunes to v11.1 (released on Sept 18th). After updating iTunes, you can then update your iPhone 5 to iOS 7.

  • HT1689 Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
    Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON.  If so turn it off.

  • Why does my icould backup say its 22.7 GB thats impossible

    for some reason my icloud keeps saying its a 22.7 Gb backup when thats impossible can someone help me out here

    Why is it impossible?  The backup may include photos, and there may be a lot of them.
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage
    From there you can find how much and which files are in a backup, and how much different apps use to store data files.  At the bottom of the screen is the size of the mail storage.

  • Why does the wheel for the apps close and how to keep it open?

    why does the wheel for the apps on the tool bar close and how to keep it open? i've checked thru all the information on your site..

    Exactly which driver did you downlaod and from where? By "GET STRAT", do you mean one of the Getting Started VIs? Error 5 means "NI-488:  Command requires GPIB Controller to be System Controller." Are you using GPIB to control the instrument? If so, what type of board are you using and which version of VISA and NI-488? If the error only occurs on a read, try issuing the query from MAX and see if the error occurs there. In a couple of the Xantrex drivers I looked at, there seemed to be some fixed delays after a write and before a read. You might try increasing those values to see if that makes any difference.

  • Where does the "Submit Form" button get created and how can I change the associated email address?

    I've created a pdf form using Adobe Live Cycle ES 8.2 and it has been working fine.  Now I need to change the email address it gets sent to when the user clicks on the "Submit Form" button.
    How can I change this email address?
    Thank you in advance

    Yes, that is correct.
    I did not manually add this button, so I am assuming it was somehow automatically created.
    It worked great up until now that I need to change the "To:" email address.
    I've look through the XML code associated this this email address and changed it every where I could find it, but it still hasn't changed my results.  So, I have no idea how to change this and as stated above, if I create a new form it automatically sets it up to be sent to the wrong email address.  Not sure why or how to change it?
    Let me know if you need further info to help me out.
    Thanks again

  • Cannot Connect to IP printer always says its busy

    I'm trying to connect to my printer but every time I try to connect it says Network host "192.168.0.200" busy will retry in 30 seconds. I have tried pinging that IP address in Terminal and it says that data is coming back so at least I know my Mac can retrieve data for the most part.
    Heres my setup, I am connect through a D-Link router which is connected via Ethernet cables. (Both computers are Windows XP) I have checked all the firewall settings on my Mac and on the router setup and it seems that I have tried different combination of opening ports and it seems to not make a difference. I already have ports opened for iChat and such but that's about it.
    I have printed from that printer before but some where along the line all the settings were reset. So my dad set it up again but differently somehow (and unknowingly.) It used to show up in Work Groups section but now it doesn't show anything which is why I'm trying the IP printer route.
    Sorry for the looong post but I really need this printer to be working and I know you guys are way smarter than I am at this so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Please tell us which IP printing protocol you used -- and if you used LPD or IPP, which queue name (port name is used in windows-centric docs) you used.
    For non-postscript printers, printer driver is also an important issue -- what printer is it?

  • Why does my printer keep saying out of paper? it's not!

    My printer tries to pick up paper for a long time then tels me its out of paper...It's not.  Is my machine broken?  I just bought it like 2 months ago.  What do I do or where do I take it to get it fixed?

     Reset the product
    With the product turned on , disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button
    try printing again
    if this doesn't work...
    If you just purchased 2 months ago you are STILL in warranty an will get free support if you call
    1800.474.6836
    If they are unable to resolve over the phone you may be eligible for a free replacment.... but they will have to go thru trouble shooting first. expect to spend close to 1 hour on the phone.

  • Photosmart 5520 Why does the printer always run a blank sheet before it makes a copy?

    My Photosmart 5520 always runs a blank sheet before it runs the copy/copies.  Is there a setting I can change?

    Hello Camille33,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Photosmart 5520 runs a blank sheet of paper before you copy a document. I will do my best to assist you! Just to clarify are you printing a document from your computer or copying a document directly from your printer?
    If so, then please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. I want to see if this makes a difference. Next, try resetting the printer for more than 60 seconds. Leave the printer turned on, then disconnect the power cord.
    Make sure the firmware is up to date on this printer. I will provide the HP website where you can find this download here.
    I will be looking forward to hearing back from you. Have a great night!

  • Why does the new update say its going to take 5 hours?!?!

    i started the download and its been going on for hours and its still not done. Under it it says 5 hours!!!! is it supposed to be that long?

    Unfortunately, yes. Apple's servers are being hammered by literally millions of people trying to update their software. A long wait is super irritating but it's what usually happens.
    Maybe cancel it and if you don't mind waiting a day or two, it'll be much faster work after the rush is over.

  • Why does Dreamweaver force an image sub-directory, and how can I stop that behaviour?

    This is from a person (me) who has made lots of web pages, but doesn't use sub-directories, so you might decide I am unsophisticated.  So be it.  I do not use sub-directories, but every time I open one of my web pages, Dreamweaver decides that all of my images are supposed to be in sub-directories.  Then I have to go through all the images on the page and delete the sub-directories.  Luckily, I usually don't have a lot of images on my pages.  Unpleasantly, it takes time and I have to do it EVERY TIME I MODIFY ANY PAGE.  It doesn't remember my preference.
    Is there any way to stop this behaviour?
    So far, I have looked in every options and preferences screen that I can find.  I have also searched on "directories" and "images" and combinations.  I cannot find anything.
    OBTW, I do not use CSS for these pages at all.  They were made before CSS and they are mainly content and links to files, so I am not planning on changing this unless there are strong arguments to the contrary.
    All help is appreciated.
    Cheers!

    What version of DW are you using?  And please explain what you mean by this -
    every time I open one of my web pages, Dreamweaver decides that all of my images are supposed to be in sub-directories.  Then I have to go through all the images on the page and delete the sub-directories.
    Are you saying that merely opening a file causes DW to move your images?

  • HT1338 why does my macbook pro keep freezing up and how do I resolve it

    macbook pro keeps freezing up...how do I resolve that issue

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. Do not post thousands of lines from the log. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Why does my display resolution reset itself periodically, and how to avoid?

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro, 1st gen (2GHz, 2Gb RAM), running OSX 10.4.11 (This problem also occurred the same in earlier OS versions). I run the built-in display at max res (1440x900).
    Occasionally, like once or twice a week, when I start up the machine, the display will come up in a funky 1152x720 resolution (4:3 aspect ratio, black bars on left and right edges of screen). The entire contents of the screen are there, just reduced into a smaller display area, and the desktop icons are moved around.
    To fix this, I start System Preferences, Displays, and click "Detect Displays", and the screen resets to 1440x900. Funny thing is, if I select the 1152x720 setting manually, it stretches the screen to fit the display (or doesn't compress it horizontally) - I can't actually get the machine into the strange mode with the black bars by selecting any of the options in Displays preference - it only happens occasionally on startup.
    Any ideas what's causing this, or how to keep it from happening?

    My resolution also changes, but it's in windows. OSX is fine, but everytime i boot up windows it boots up at the lowest resolution. Anybody know why that is?

  • Why does my macbook automatically closes an app and how do i make it stop?

    When I plug my sony e-reader it opens up the Reader app then when it starts automatically syncronizing  the Automagic logo arrows appear beside it and it closes, then a report error window come up, I click restart and the same thing happens again. I can´t open it, and it wasn´t happening before.
    Help would be so useful thank you.

    I know this is pretty late, but in case it still hasn't been resolved, try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Keyboard Dictionary.
    That should revert your keyboard dictionary to its original state. Apple's autocorrect features learns any custom words you type, whether real words or not. After you keep on typing custom words for quite a while, it may contain enough customs words that it replaces a lot of correct words with fake words you may have typed months ago, unless you reset the keyboard dictionary.
