Why is the lightning cable so fragile that in less than 3 months I have had to set 3 cables aside because they don't charge anymore?
In less than 3 months I have had to buy 2 more cables... None work anymore... Why is this cable so fragile that even though I don't twist or turn it, it ends up malfunctioning all of a sudden? The regular 30 pin cable has a much longer "life cycle". I bought an adapter and am charging my devices (iphone5 and mini Ipad) with it. Is there anynsuggestions to what i should do with these cables that are no longer working and are still almost brand new?
Had a similar problem. Lightening cable is not up to the job, it gets twisted easily and breaks. Had the old type on an IPhone 4 that has lasted over 2 years, but the lightening lasted less than three months. Cardiff store did not want to know about this problem and tried to sell me a new one for £14.00, absolutely shocking aft sales care.
Contact Apple direct and you will get much better service

Hi Sane1,
The trial version of Acrobat XI and the subscription version are one and the same. What differences are you seeing?

Why is the signal at my home so much weaker than it was when I moved here in February 2013? I get only one or two bars and very poor data service if any at all. Calling to ask the question results in a vortex of questions that have little to do with the problem and no resolution or answer.
I have a Droid Ultra phone. The signal reduction seems to only be in the general area of my home. If I go downtown, the signal improves to what it once was at home. Everything at my home is as it was when the signal was good, including cable TV service. There has been no new construction in the area that I know of.
Thanks for trying to resolve the issue. Just this morning while trying to view web pages, I found that I could not load any.

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?
Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?
Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads. I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this. So that begs the question, where is that folder located? When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

Recently my iPod touch 4th gen. was stolen. I have had it for two years, so I don't have a warranty on it anymore. I reported it to the police, but what will apple do? This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

Nothing... why would they do anything?
Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement. -
I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?
To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step. -
Why does the iTunes music-radio stop every about 15 minutes? I have Windows 7.
Why does the iTunes radio-music streaming stop every 15 minute? I have Windows 7.
The thing is, the music does not cease prior to the slideshow start. Or At least it doesn't cease on my ATV.
I do have Flickr set as screensaver indeed, but having to change screensaver settings to watch a new slideshow is just plain annoying IMO.
Ane the fact that the music plays when a screensaver slideshow is active is a proof that technically the ATV could support the feature.
Thank you for your reply. -
Why is the print area on all envelope templates more than 1/2 inch from the left side of the envelope.. ? Can this be fixed or changed.. ?
I have pages 09 version 4.1... It is a small aggravation.. The left 3 or 4 characters on the return address would not print until I realized that by clicking on
" View " & " Show Lay-Out " that it was out side the printable range ...It seems to be a Pages template " Print range " issue.. Both the Epson and the HP printers were doing it and it was today that I realized why.. !!
When I move it to where it will print there is large gap on the left margin of the return address.. Just wondering if anyone else knew about this.. ? My Pages is ' 09 ' version 4.1... -
I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?
No... do not move programs.
About the iTunes library files
Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\ -

I broke the screen to my new iPhone 4s and we purchased a new screen online but it is too complicated to install. Any solutions you can provide that won't be too expensive?
Dirty Vegas wrote:
Yes.
You can get it replaced at the Apple Store Genius Bar for far less than the retail cost for replacement.
So the user won't have to pay the retail cost for a replacement if they get it replaced?
You mean they won't have to pay the price for a new phone to replace the broken phone with a refurbished phone thru Apple.

Printer sending out blank sheets
When I try to print to my Epson CX8400 from my MacBook Pro it generates multiple sheets of blank paper, even if I try to run a test print. It prints fine to my old HP Deskjet. The Epson works fine with my Imac desktop, so it isn't a printer problem.
