    Why has my iphone stopped picking up the Outlook calendar on my PC via icloud?

    Have you checked document and data syncing is enabled in settings > iCloud and iCloud is enabled in settings > Pages.
    For future reference, you might also consider backing up documents created or edit on your mobile device by sharing a copy to iTunes.

  • Why is my ipad keep restarting almost every 5 minutes and also why is the screen not rotating.

    why is my ipad keep restarting almost every 5 minutes and also why is the screen not rotating.

    Nobody here can answer a question like that. Try rebooting your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?

    Why has my camera stopped working on Skype on my macbook air after running a software update to 10.8.5?

    See this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5306216?tstart=0
    FIX: 
    1. You need Time Machine
    2. Go to folder /Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/DAL/
    3. Copy AppleCamera.plugin to good place (usb memory stick is the best place).
    4. Go to Time machine in date that skype work fine.
    5. Change AppleCamera.plugin with file from Time Machine
    6. Restart system, Now skype need to work with camera.
    If that doesnt pass,
    Suggest looking here, much success has been found:

  • Why has my Preview stopped responding and won't open any files?

    Why has my Preview stopped responding and won't open any files?
    Each time I try to open Preview it just hangs and I have to close the Prog by "Force Quit"

    nerbyad,
    Sorry to hear you are having this issue today.
    Does this happen on all files or a specific file?
    If this is happening on a specific file, it is most likely that file.
    If this is happening on all files, I would check to see if this is happening in other users accounts as well.  If you dont have other users, create one and see if preview works inside that new user account.
    Let me know...

  • Why has my screen saver stopped working

    I am new to Mac....2 days ago my computer would show a variety of screen savers when the comp was not in use. Now it goes onto hibernation mode only. I have to push the power button to wake it up. I went into system pref and made sure that the setting were on random and i tested it... but it still will not show the screen saver. Can someone tell me how to get this back?

    Make sure your Screen Saver settings are not in conflict with the Energy Saver settings in System Preferences.  If you put your display to sleep before the screen saver, you're never going to see it.

  • Help--why has MacBook screen gone dark and how do I get it back?

    I have a  MacBook (model 4,1  running OS 6.8).  I use the MacBook as my desktop computer in conjunction with a separate desktop monitor. Today, when I unplugged a USB hub from one of the ports (after carefully ejecting anything on the desktop that needed to be ejected before unplugging), the screen on the MacBook--not the separate monitor--suddenly went dark.  I thought it had gone to sleep or into screensaver mode, but noticed that the white light on the MacBook also wasn't showing. 
    The separate monitor display (on which I'm typing this message) seems fine.  I checked DIsplays/Arrangement in System Preferences, but both displays were detected in their usual arrangement, though I did notice that the working display has a white bar across the top but the MacBook display doesn't have one.  I clicked "Detect Displays," but that didn't change anything.
    I then did a restart, and things seemed to go as usual:  the shutdown went okay and on restart, the white light went on on the MacBook and the monitor screen lit up normally.  However, the MacBook's screen is still dark and the white light is off.
    Can anyone tell me why this happened and how to get my MacBook screen back?  I don't know whether unplugging the hub caused the problem or whether it was just a coincidence that something that runs the MacBook display happened to fail right then.  Would appreciate any help out there very much--thanks!
    PS: Just tried shutting down and powering on again with the separate monitor unplugged, but the MacBook screen still stays black and the white light shuts off as soon as the desktop loads.  When I plugged the separate monitor back in, it worked fine.  So the problem doesn't seem to be a conflict with the separate monitor (which I've used for years).
    Message was edited by: Turtlewiz

    Update:  I went away for an hour, and when I came back I saw that the white light had gone on as usual when the MacBook went to sleep.  When I touched the keyboard, both displays went on; however, the MacBook display went dark immediately and the white light is still out.
