  • Why is it that when I delete a song off my 4th generation I touch it will not allow me to add it again. I manage my music manually (no syncing). I can add a new song, but as soon as I delete it on my I touch, I can't put it back on.

    I never heard of that problem before. I I can suggest is the stand fixes:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • When I connect my Time Machine it appears mounted several times and does not back up.

    Two weeks ago when I connected my external hard drive containing my Time Machine, the drive was listed several times in my finder sidebar with one mounting in the regular teal color and the other seemingly faded but still clickable. The Time Machine says that it is backing up but hasn't since then. I hadn't changed any Time Machine settings nor touched the external hard drive in any way that I could explain why this is suddenly happening. When I eject the machine I have to force eject every instance of it listed.
    I've had this Time Machine for over two years now and have never had a problem with it. While I could hypothetically rewrite the whole Time Machine if that would fix the answer, I would rather not lose those two years of information. I've yet to find any other cases of this and am not sure exactly what is even happening, so any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Ooops!
    First Timer mistake.
    Sorry.

  • I am getting a "Prop Res DLL not loaded" message when trying to print from a website only while using Firefox, same does not occur using IE. Any suggestions

    An attempt to change the "Properties" options prior to printing on my Lexmark X5150 causes the message. Same does not occur if I do the same under Internet Explorer.

     I have tried creating the profile again and still get the same problem.  The problem is machine based and not user based. 
    Hi GG1234,
    If you recreated the Outlook profile and still got the same problem, please try to recreate the Windows Profile:
    Log on to client using local admin account->rename the profile folder under c:\users.
    By the way, did you try to print the mails in OWA?

  • Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?

    Why is it that when I connect my iPhone 5S to my Windows Vista computer, the photos made with my iPhone are all of very low quality and most of them are turned upside down?
    On another note, the iPhone tells me that it's ''busy'' when opening a photo on the computer.
    (I tried restarting my PC, connecting via another USB port, importing using PhotoStream, etc...)

    Are you using the front or rear camera? When you say they are low quality, are you referring to file/pixel size, or how the picture looks? As far as upside down, how are you holding the phone? Older versions of Windows have issues reading the Metadata from the pictures and will not display the same.

    Hello nikos260,
    It sounds like Safari and Settings will immediately close when you try to open them.  I recommend following steps in the following tutorial to address an issue like this (you can skip step 2 "Recharge iPad" because it's not related to this issue):

  • When i am typing in a browser window, my browser page shifts slightly, highlights in blue, and does not allow me to keep typing.  i have to keep clicking on the page to continue to type letter by letter...is there some function on that i don't know about?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • I bought an iPad mini in the USA for my girlfriend in Europe and when we tried to activate it does not allow us to. Any suggestions?

    I Bought an iPad mini for my girlfriend in the USA , and brought it to Europe to surprise her. When we attempted to activate, it will not connect to the server...and will not allow us to activate....any help someone can provide? Thanks. Chuck.

    I agree. Or if you have a computer, connect your computer to the hotel's wifi, which will allow you to agree to the terms and conditions page, then use the computer to activate your iPad.
    There are often issues with iDevices showing that you're connected to public wifi, but unless you can get the terms and conditions page to load so you can agree your connection is a dead end. You're connected but not allowed to do anything.

  • When I attempt to reply or forward email, it says my server does not allow relaying and will not send.

    When I attempt to forward or reply emails. I get the error message that my server does not allow relaying and will not send.

    Some ISPs don't really handle you mail, they pass it off to another pipeline.  That is called relaying.  Some receiving servers will not accept relayed messages, as they are frequently associated with spammers.
    In some cases, I understand aol relays within thier own system, confusing the issue a little.
    Who is you mail provider?  If it is a big name, this should not be an issue.   As a test, if you have an alternate e mail account, like gmail, try to send a message from that account and see if it goes through.

  • Why is it that when I connect my iPod to my car stereo through USB, some of the songs don't appear and play when these songs are on my playlist normally?

    Hello all
    This has been bugging me for a little while. I bought myself a new bluray player awhile back and it has a USB hookup for ipods. This goes the same with my vehicle too. I have a few good playlists with some great songs, however, when i hooked it up to my bluray player, some of the songs didn't appear in the playlist that are not normally there. I disconnected the ipod and had a look on the screen and sure enough the songs are there, but they are just not appearing on the bluray player. This only happens for some songs, not all of them. I was disappointed at this because I really wanted to hear my songs. So I decided to download the WHOLE album off of itunes from which I got the song from and sure enough, this time the song appeared on my bluray player and it played in the playlist.
    Why is this? Is there a way to make it so that I can have all the songs play without downloading all of the albums?

    Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs  will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

  • Why is it that when I play a game with a moving character, the game freezes up for a second when I move the character? This happens everytime I move them.

    This freezing problem that I am having only happens when there is a moving character in the game. For example, when I hit the left arrow to move them left, the game, in a way, skips the action, and then jumps ahead to after the character has moved. I am not sure whether that would be freezing up or just skipping. I have updated all of my plugins, and I do not know what else to try.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
