  • Why doesn't my phone always add photos?

    Sometimes my iPhone 4S will add photos to my photo stream where I can access them on my iPad but not always.  Why is that?

    Your iPhone needs to be in WiFi (not cellular) coverage to add the photos.

    I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
    That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

    Yeah sorry we both have the same carrier and as far as I know, no she is not holding down the home button. Does that make a difference?

  • Why doesn't my phone ring when I've got screen lock activated?

    This has been driving me crazy and I need to know how to fix it.
    I like to have the screen lock activated on my phone (otherwise it will be in my purse calling people without me even touching it) but when I get an incoming call my phone doesn't ring, it will only vibrate so I'm missing alot of calls because I'm not always near my phone to hear it vibrate.
    Also, there's nothing to alert me (a sound played every few minutes) when I missed a call or text & its causing problems for me.

        cem421,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the phone ringing but we certainly want to make sure that is addressed. When your phone is not in screen lock does it ring as normal? You may want to check your sound settings to see if you have it set to vibrate in silent. Also if that mode is set you want to make sure the switch above your volume buttons is set up, otherwise the phone will not ring while in screen lock mode. Keep us updated and I am sure we will get this figured out.
    Thank you,

  • Why doesn't my Phone work properly with my Cars Bu...

    Car manufacturers are now building complex car kits into their vehicles.
    The companies include:
    Ford, Audi, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Vauxhall/Opel, Volkswagen, Mercedes, and other high end specification cars.
    One of the functions, is that it pulls the phone book data from the phone via bluetooth.
    Background Information 
    A lot of the Nokia E and N series, Symbian S60 handsets, do not carry the required bluetooth profile in their bluetooth stack.
    The phone is missing the Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) that allows the car to pull data from the phone.
    Why the phones do not carry the profile is unknown. What is known is that using the Nokia 810 car kit downloader software, you can partly restore some of this functionality.
    Additionally the Nokia 616 Car Kit Downloader will also function, along with the Ford Connectivity Downloader.
    Workaround 
    The information is here:
    http://europe.nokia.com/A4143881
    You'll need to delete the existing pairing in the handset and the car, then install and run the application, don't just install the application and expect it to work, you must re-pair the handset and the car.
    When it is installed start the application, and then re-pair the phone to the radio, this may then copy your contacts into the radio, be paitent, as it can take a few minutes to copy and setup.
    It may copy the phone book over, but the Missed Dialled and Received calls may not work.
    I have tested this with an Audi S3, A4, and A6 on a Nokia N82 and N95.
    The Nokia E71, appears to have the profile and functions correctly with an Audi car kit, in Handsfree Profile mode.
    The Nokia E71, when connected in SIM access profile mode is the same as the other E and N series handsets are requires the 810 or 616 downloader to be installed in the handset.
    Installing the 810/616 downloader only restores phone book functionality, there are some software combinations on car and phones that work without the downloader.
    It may also be possible for your car manufacturers franchised dealer to be able to update the software in your car so that additional features are available, they may charge for this service. Also updating software in the phone may also help, as Nokia may see fit to add the profile if they are able.
    For some cars and handsets, when you are connecting with the SIM Access Profile function, you will still need to install the 616/810 downloader application as detailed above, as the phone normally switches off most of its functionality. The phone book will then normally function when you have installed the application.
    The workaround only resolves the problem with the phone book. Problems such as random disconnecting which also is reported, are beyond the scope of this article.
    Edit: 24-01-09
    I have noticed recently that random disconnecting can be caused if you have an Internet Telephony Service running in your handset. Also if you have the WLAN discovery setting enabled then this can cause the same problem - whilst I am not attempting to try and resolve random disconnects, it could be a reason for why this is happening.
    I have recently installed a VoIP service in my handset and 100 mtrs from my home when the handset disconnects from this service at my house, the Bluetooth disconnects from the Car Kit, in my E71.
    Edit 14-04-09
    Audi also make a Bluetooth Sim Access Profile adapter for their Generation II and Generation III (Low) mobile telephone interface. (Audi Part No: 8P0051440) The SIM access service will require the 810 phone kit downloader application. With this on my kit I am getting disconnections with Bluetooth. To prevent this, I switch Bluetooth off and then on again prior to connecting to the kit, this resolves the disconnecting.
    Edit 12-05-09
    Further to the Audi edit above, I now have an Audi S4 2009 with the Audi Mobile Phone Preparation (high) for this to function correctly with phone book access the 810 Downloader needs to be installed, and running when the phone connects to the car every time it connects. Otherwise the phone book access does not operate.
    Edit:12-06-09
    You can also use the Ford Contact Downloader application from
    http://www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com/ - select downloads then Select a Nokia E or N Series Device and download the contact application (this works fine in my Audi)

  • Why doesn't command-click always open links new tabs?

    Right-clicking on links and selecting "Open link in new tab" always works as described, but command-clicking on links only sometimes opens them in new tabs. I am guessing that it is Javascript related, but why can the contextual menu work, and not the click?

    ''Edit: You might already have this set if the right-click option always works.''
    By default, Firefox will divert standard new windows to a tab, but if the link actually is a script that launches a window with special parameters, like a dialog, then Firefox will honor that. There is an obscure setting to disregard those parameters and force all scripted windows into a new tab as well.
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''link.o''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double click these and set the value as desired:
    '''(A) browser.link.open_newwindow'''
    '''3 = divert new window to a new tab (<u>default</u>)''' (checked*)<br>
    2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)<br>
    1 = force new window into same tab
    '''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
    '''(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'''
    '''0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows)'''<br>
    2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (<u>default</u>)<br>
    1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
    Does that work?

  • Why doesn't my phone auto-lock after one minute?

    From the settings - it's checked to auto-lock after a minute, but for some reason - this does not always happen. I have tried turning off the phone and back on again - that did not work. How can this be resolved?

    probably. turn it off for sometime , restart the phone and check.

  • When my macbook kicks me off the internet, why doesn't it let me send the error report to apple anymore?

    It used to send the error report all the time. Now not at all.

    With the announcement of the forthcoming OS X 10.8 'Mountain Lion', Apple is apparently no longer accepting crash reports from OS X 10.5.x "Leopard".

  • Why doesn't my phone ring?

    Since downloading the iOS 7 update,I have not received notifications (vibration or sound) of any kind when my phone is in the sleep mode or the locked screen mode. I've checked every possible setting there is and none has solved this problem. I believe this is a glitch in the update. What can be doe to resolve this issue? Can I revert back to the former iOS?

    Even though you discover that the Do not Disturb mode was activated. You should check out the new settings for vibration. In ios7 you have the ability to disable vibration when you have the ringer switch to "silent", orange bar showing. Basically making it in Do Not Disturb, but you'll still see the notifications on the screen.
    You could enable or disable vibration phone wide for both ringer on or silent on.

  • Why doesn't Lightroom 5 always watermark exported images?

    I haven't changed the settings, but last time I tried to export images with a watermark the images appeared in the output folder without watermarks.
    The problem has occured before, but corrected itself when I re-exported the images. This time Lightroom is steadfastly ignoring the instruction to add a watermark.
    Any clues, why this happens?
    Some of my jpegs are zero length when exported, is there a fix for this, other than to export them again?
    I can fix the problem by using LR4.4, but why isn't LR5 working properly?
    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Most likely you simply ise an unsupported operating system. We really can't know. You have not provided any relevant info.
